This text adventure game is absolutely toxic 2

"How could this be?"

Sirius looked shocked.

He was not yet born at the time and did not witness the incident in which the mechanic jumped into the lake tens of thousands of years ago.

But at this moment, he witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of Mu You's corpse being left in the lake. This scene was so clear that he could not find any reason to numb himself.

Mu You is not the son of Yue Ji...

Their plan failed.

"Huh, you've done your own thing!"

The clan leader snorted coldly and waved his hand to the side: "Get this traitor who is colluding with outsiders for me. Remember to capture him alive!"

Now that the Eye of the Moon has been closed, it means that today's moon festival is over and the matter is a foregone conclusion, and his anger has dissipated somewhat.

Next it’s time to sort out the problem.

When Sirius was stunned, countless sentries surrounded him, swarmed up, tore Sirius off the tree and pinned him to the ground.

This time Sirius didn't resist.

The situation in the clan had already reached a point of despair for him. Mu You's appearance was his only hope. Now that hope was shattered, the impact on him was indescribable.

Sirius was pinned to the ground by a dozen strong sentries, unable to move.

In the distance, the clan leader has come quickly with a group of guards.

But no one noticed that behind the clan leader, the elder Youman cast a look from a distance and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Behind the crowd holding Tian Lang down, a sentry suddenly rose up, holding a sharp blade, and chopped off Tian Lang's head.

"Stop! I'll let you capture him alive!" The clan leader was anxious, shouting to stop and speeding up his pace to come over.

It's a pity that the man didn't seem to hear it. Instead of stopping, the knife in his hand accelerated.

Just when this knife was about to hit, Sirius was about to die violently.

A loud roar sounded from behind. Muro rushed out like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, knocking away the crowds along the way. He stabbed out the spear in his hand and accurately penetrated the attacker's chest and nailed him to the ring tree behind. .

"Get out of my way!"

Muro shouted and rushed into the field, dancing wildly with a spear, forcing the other savages back, and smoothly pulled up the Sirius on the ground.

Only then did Sirius regain some sense and realize his situation. He hurriedly drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the surrounding savages.

The two of them were surrounded by a large number of savages and had nowhere to escape. They could only face the enemy back to back. Although they could not escape, with the combined strength of the two, they were not easily subdued.

At this time, the surrounding savages did not dare to approach easily. They could only hold up their weapons and maintain the encirclement, looking for opportunities.

"Stop the hell! Don't you understand everyone?"

The clan leader from afar has rushed over, yelling: "Stay back, and you two, stand still! Whoever dares to make the first move will be guilty of the same crime as the traitor!"

Under the command of the clan leader, the encirclement expanded a bit, and the scene finally stabilized temporarily. The hidden parasites still wanted to continue to attack. Unfortunately, these two people were too strong, and it would be difficult to kill them immediately. At this moment In full view of the public, they had no choice but to stop first, otherwise they would be too conspicuous.

"Clan Leader, I have something to say!" Sirius suddenly spoke, looking at the clan leader seriously.

"You are a traitor, what do you have to say?" Youman scolded angrily, looking at the patriarch and saying: "Chief, these two people killed their compatriots and destroyed the festival. It is already a capital crime. I think they should be taken down immediately!"

"No, let him say it!" The patriarch snorted coldly: "I want to hear what he wants to say."

"I did make a mistake, I should have stopped him..." Sirius shook his head and sighed.

"Oh? Have you finally woken up?" The clan leader sneered, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He actually didn't want Sirius to die. If Sirius could find his way back here in time, he could still find a way to help him survive. Opportunity.

"Yes, I have woken up. I should not place my hopes for the son of Yueji on outsiders. The person who jumped into the lake should not have been him from the beginning, but me!" Sirius looked annoyed. said.

"What?" The patriarch's eyes darkened when he heard this. The other party's confession was a little different from what he imagined...

"So, clan leader, I want to apply to be a living sacrificer tomorrow night!" Sirius suddenly raised his head and spoke firmly.

"Haha, according to the clan rules, you have been expelled from the clan. Do you think you are still qualified to be a life sacrificer?" Yuman laughed.

Sirius ignored Yuman's ridicule, but looked at the clan leader steadily, waiting for his answer.

The patriarch looked at him with a strange expression: "I really didn't expect that you were deceived so deeply by that fool... What kind of ecstasy soup did this kid fill you with? To make you confident that you can become the son of Moon Festival?"

"No, it's not that I can become the son of Yue Ji, but any clan member who jumps into the lake can become the son of Yue Ji... except those parasites!" Sirius said.

"What do you mean?" The clan leader was confused when he heard this, but he didn't notice that the eyes of Youman and other elders beside him burst out with dangerous light.

"I finally figured everything out! Mu Youyou was right. The reason why the late king became the son of Yue Ji was because the ethnic group was faced with a life-and-death decision at that time. But now, the ethnic group has once again reached the point of life and death, and the reason for the delay this time No son of Moon Sacrifice is born, not because we are not qualified, but because, in the past three hundred years, all the places for living sacrifices have been occupied by parasites, and Yuehu has no chance to choose a son of Yue Sacrifice!" Tian said the wolf loudly.

Of course, it is impossible for Yuehu to let a parasite become a spokesperson, and after so many years, no normal clan members have jumped into the lake. Even if Yuehu wants to choose a spokesperson, Yuehu has no choice, so it has been delayed until now.

Therefore, in theory, as long as a non-parasitized tribesman jumps into the lake, no matter what the conditions are, he should be able to become the son of Yueji!

"Three hundred years? What do you mean? Tell me clearly..." The patriarch was stunned. These words of Sirius made him instinctively feel that he was about to catch something.

But just when the clan leader was about to ask questions.

Behind the crowd, a concealed crossbow arrow suddenly shot out.

This arrow seemed to be aimed at Muro, but Muro's perception was strong and he subconsciously turned his head to get out of the way of the attack.

So the arrow passed through his neck and pierced the clan leader on the opposite side. It accurately pierced the clan leader's shoulder, and the huge force knocked the clan leader to the ground.

"Two traitors attacked the patriarch! They want to kill the patriarch! Kill them!" Someone shouted.

Among the surrounding sentries, several took the lead in launching the attack, and others followed subconsciously.

"Wait! Let him finish what he said..." The patriarch covered the wound on his shoulder and shouted hurriedly.

He himself could see clearly that although the angle of the arrow just now was hidden, it was definitely not shot by these two people.

Unfortunately, there was no chance. Seeing that the clan leader was injured and someone took the lead, countless savages swarmed up and killed Muro and Sirius.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, a cloud of blue smoke suddenly rose in place.

The poisonous mist took shape, enveloped Muro and Sirius in the blink of an eye, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

"It's the poison of the evil gall flower, retreat quickly!"

Someone immediately recognized the source of the poisonous mist, which was poisonous smoke made from highly toxic herbs. Inhaled into the body, it can corrode the internal organs in a short period of time. Because the attack occurs so quickly, there is almost no cure, even with the physique of a savage. I can't handle this level of poison.

The savages who had originally swarmed forward hurriedly retreated.

The poisonous mist spread outward for hundreds of meters before finally stopping.

The crowd surrounded the poisonous mist, only to hear bursts of movement coming from the mist, but they were unable to enter to check.

It wasn't until tens of seconds later that the poisonous mist gradually dissipated.

Everyone hurried back to the place, only to find that there was no one there, and both Sirius and Muro were missing.

"It's Sethia..."

The patriarch immediately confirmed this. Only a herbalist could use poison so skillfully, and the herbalist who would save the two of them at this time could obviously only be Sethia.

After confirming this, the clan leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now he is sure that the arrow just now was aimed at him: someone in the tribe wanted to kill him, and they also tried to fish in troubled waters and poured the dirty water of killing him on Sirius and Muro...

Coupled with Sirius's words, he had already realized the problem: there seemed to be a traitor in the clan!

"In the past three hundred years, have parasites been jumping into the lake?"

Recalling what Sirius had just said, the clan leader felt sweat on his forehead. If this information was true, then the problem would be too big...

In the past, the mechanic incident, which was just an outsider jumping into the Moon Lake, had already caused the clan leader to resign under heavy pressure and apologize. During his term of office, there were more than 2,000 sacrifices for three hundred years. If it really happened They are all parasites, so he may not be able to repay this sin even if he has to die to apologize...

Thinking of this, the clan leader immediately wanted to give some orders, but suddenly felt dizzy. "No, that arrow is poisonous..." When the clan leader realized this, it was already too late. His consciousness quickly faded and he fell unconscious on the spot.

……

"what happened……"

"Am I dead..."

……

Mu You looked at the darkness around him, his consciousness dim for a while.

At this time, nearly an hour had passed since he jumped into the lake just now.

The moment he entered the lake, he saw countless blue butterflies rushing towards him, as if he had not jumped into the Moon Lake, but into a sea of ​​butterflies.

Every drop of water in the sea is composed of countless blue butterflies down to the molecular level.

The moment he fell into the sea of ​​butterflies, countless miniature butterflies swarmed around him, biting and tearing all over his body, tearing his flesh and blood, biting off his bones bit by bit, and then ate away at him...until they swallowed up his entire body. The riot was finally quelled.

Of course, it might just be a vision when he was about to die. In fact, he was simply corroded by the water of the Moon Lake.

Mu You died. The first second he entered Yue Lake, his body was gone.

But he did not die completely. His remaining consciousness did not die with his body. Instead, it turned into a blue butterfly and continued to sink until it sank to the bottom of the lake. It was sucked into the unclosed lake by a strange gravity. Eyes of the Moon.

Within the next hour, Mu You felt like he was falling in the darkness, falling constantly...

Below the Eye of the Moon, there seemed to be a bottomless dark abyss. He couldn't see his fingers. Mu You could not control his body and could only drift with the current and let himself sink.

He didn't know how long he had been falling. At a certain moment, he finally felt that he had sunk to the bottom. There seemed to be some light around him. Through the perspective of his soul, he could barely see some things clearly.

This is indeed a lake bottom, full of mud and sand, dark and turbid.

Mu You tried to flap his wings and fly along the bottom of the lake.

The entire bottom of the lake was empty, except for a body of red... clothes lying sideways on the muddy ground in the center?

Mu You was a little unsure. The clothes were only the size of ordinary human clothes. The surface seemed to be covered with scales, but it looked very soft.

Mu You landed on the collar of the clothes and found a human face carved out of stone beside the clothes.

Most of this face was sunk in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, with only half exposed.

When Mu You looked over, the exposed eye of the figure suddenly opened and looked at him.

Then, a voice sounded from Muyou's consciousness.

"It seems that you are the one I was waiting for...you are finally here!"

"Are you... a mechanic?" Mu You tried to communicate with the stone statue. He had known for a long time that the mechanic was not dead. When he met a conscious 'person' at the bottom of the lake, he naturally thought of the mechanic immediately.

"Yes." The portrait's voice continued.

"What is our situation now? Dead? Or not dead?" Mu You was more concerned about his physical condition.

"We are not dead...our physical body dies, but our thoughts are lodged in a soul butterfly. The soul butterfly takes us to the bottom of the lake... All people who jump into the Moon Lake will experience this process, but their minds cannot stay for a long time. With the Moon Butterfly, it will completely die out in a day or two," the voice said.

"What about you? How did you survive?"

"Me? I was going to perish originally, but I chose to merge with Yuehu, so I have continued to exist until now... However, that's the end of it. The purpose of my existence is to wait for your arrival. Now Now that you are here, I can finally be freed..." The mechanic said with some relief in his tone.

"Wait for me? Why wait for me..."

Mu You was a little confused.

"It's a long story... Have you seen that red suit?" the voice asked.

"I saw it...you said 'battle suit'? Could this be..."

"Yes, this is 'Chixiao', the ultimate Yuanchu battle armor I designed back then! I completed its model body, but it still needed the Moon Lake for final tempering, so I took it and jumped into the moon lake."

"It turns out that my guess was correct. The tempering was indeed successful in the Moon Lake. The battle suit you see now is a complete Chixiao battle suit. After being soaked in the deep Moon Lake for tens of thousands of years, it still retains its shape. It's intact, its protective power, and all its functions are all the same as the ultimate armor of my dreams - except for one thing..."

"How big or small..." Mu You looked strange.

When he saw this armor for the first time just now, the reason why he didn't dare to confirm that it was Chi Xiao was because this armor was too small, only the size of a human being. How could a giant wear it?

"Yes."

The mechanic's voice was a little sad: "The tempering was indeed completed as scheduled, but it was not completed for me. During the tempering process, the volume of the armor shrank severely, causing my originally well-protected body to be directly exposed. In the lake water, it was corroded away immediately."

"In addition to this set of battle armor, I have also designed thousands of lower-level battle suit drawings based on the principles of this set of battle armor. The functions involve all aspects of production and life. These are the fruits of my life's hard work, and they are all stored in Red In the core of Xiao.”

"However, these low-level battle suits are the same as Chi Xiao. They will shrink during the final tempering process, and their form will be greatly reduced, making them unsuitable for giants to wear."

"And if you want to make the armor larger in proportion to the size that the gods can wear normally, the materials will not be able to maintain the connection."

"It was also at that moment that I suddenly realized that this suit of armor was not prepared for us, the God Clan."

"At that time, I thought that the apocalypse was the enlightenment given to me by God, and that I was the chosen one to save my tribe. But in the end, I discovered that I was just a tool, and the meaning of my life was just to complete this set for Yuehu. War Armor, and then wait here until it is handed over to its original owner."

"The original owner refers to...me?" Mu You asked uncertainly.

"It's not you, it's you. My hard work is not only on this piece of Chixiao, but also on the entire set of mechanical auxiliary systems developed in the process of creating it. These are not prepared for individuals, but for a group of people. The whole race is prepared."

"The Fool..." Mu You breathed out, understanding what the mechanic meant.

"But, why?" Mu You actually doesn't quite understand why Jie Lin went to so much trouble to trick the mechanic into working hard all his life to create such a mechanical system, only to hand it over to the Fool in the end?

Is it just for the Fool to use this mechanical system to fight against the God-Eating Beast?

Mu You doesn't think this set of mechanical armor can play a big role in the fight against the God-Eating Beast, because not only does this set of armor need to be tempered by the Moon Lake, but the materials used are also materials from the Ring Forest. The combination of these conditions means that this kind of armor is destined to be unable to be mass-produced.

What's more, even if it is really effective, it should be used by the more powerful gods or ancestors to drive away the God-devouring beasts, and it will not be the turn of the Fool who was not even born at that time.

"Yes, this is also the question I was wondering at the time!" The mechanic's voice sounded: "Why, my life, and even my race, can only be reduced to the wedding dress of another unknown race. What is the reason for all this? Don’t we, the gods, deserve it?”

"I survived with this obsession and went all the way to the bottom of the lake. I was so angry that I wanted to ask Yuehu for an explanation. In the end, I even wanted to find the answer to this question even at the cost of merging with Yuehu."

"Then, did you get the answer?" Mu You asked hurriedly.

"Yes, I got it!"

The mechanic's voice became a little excited: "The moment I merged with Yuehu, I saw the truth. I saw the past, present, and even the future of this land, everything..."

"It was also at that time that I suddenly understood Yuehu, and chose to obey Yuehu's expectations. Instead of dissipating directly, I continued to live in the form of a thought body... Until now, when I have conveyed my life's work and the truth of the world After giving it to you, my mission comes to an end..."

Mu You swallowed: "So... what is the truth?"

He didn't expect that the mechanic actually knew the truth and was ready to tell him directly.

You must know that this is something that even the God of Order keeps silent...

Mu You was curious about what kind of truth could make the mechanic who had been fooled with his life suddenly change his attitude, and would even rather wait alone at the bottom of the lake for tens of thousands of years, just to wait for his arrival.

"Don't worry, this is a secret that must never be known to the outside world. It can only be found in the core of the Ring Forest, a place where divinity is absolutely impossible to reach. After excluding all foreign substances, even you and me, even our bodies, Only when all is gone and only a group of consciousness is left that can be honest and honest, can I safely convey the 'truth' to you."

"Even after you leave Moon Lake and return to the divine world, this experience cannot exist in your memory, otherwise it may still be noticed by the outside world, resulting in failure."

"So the rest of our conversation will be completely forgotten by you after you leave the lake."

"what?"

Mu You was stunned when he heard this. If he was destined to forget all this, what was the point of telling him the truth now?

"It makes sense!" The mechanic smiled: "Don't worry, the memory of this truth does not disappear out of thin air, but is hidden in your time. At the right time in the future, you will remember everything about here... "

"Okay... you go ahead." Mu You exhaled, indicating that he was ready.

"The truth is..."

The mechanic slowly began to tell.

In the mechanic's calm tone, Mu You went from calm, to surprised, to shocked.

When he heard the end, his eyes were widened and his heart was beating wildly.

He finally understood why the God of Order said they were all just pawns...

From the mechanic's mouth, he learned a truth that subverted his three views.

And...a plan to deceive the world. (End of chapter)
