This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 228

  Chapter 228 National Mobilization

   "What should I do? Should I postpone the action?" Lin Xue asked.

  The Wizards Association's trick was to deceive the world, directly disrupting all their follow-up plans. Knowing that it is a trap, you must not act according to the original plan, otherwise it will be like punching the cotton with a fully charged punch. Whether it is a blow to the strength or morale of the player group, it is unimaginable.

   "It's too late." Mu You sighed and shook his head, the time was too short.

If only the Dragon Group and the Discord Bureau are involved in this operation, it's okay to say that it can be terminated at any time, but the problem is that the scope of this operation is too wide. The news of the operation at 11:30 pm on the 8th has already been passed on to too many people .

  Even if he could stop the actions of Dragon Group and Dissonance Bureau in an emergency, it would be impossible to notify everyone instantly in this imminent time. If they don't make a move, someone will eventually make a move, and there will be no less things that should be exposed.

   Moreover, there is a more important point, that is, the floating door has probably been opened at this time. After all, the movement of the floating stone needs to be controlled by people. It may have been roughly moved to the direction of the imperial capital before, but to reach the precise location at a precise time, it must be controlled by a person, so the door must be opened in advance.

  But the door opened, but gave up on the action. The next time the door is opened, it will be ten days later. By then, the mission period of the whole server should be over.

   In other words, the cancellation of this operation is equivalent to the complete failure of the "plan of airborne troops". In the next few days, they will have to face the vigilant Wizards Association, and at the same time lose the sharp weapon of the moving door, and the possibility of breaking the tower is almost zero!

  So in general, the arrow is already on the string and has to be launched.

   Mu You raised his wrist and looked at the time. At 11:26, there were only four minutes left before the scheduled action time.

   "I'll go back, I'll be right back!"

   Mu You spoke to Lin Xue, and then put down a teleportation array on the spot.

  The teleportation array will be detected by the wizard tower, which may alert the wizard and arouse the alert of the wizard association. But at this time, I can't take care of that much anymore. It is better to scare the snakes than let the large troops fall into the snake's nest and die.

   After passing through the teleportation array, Mu You returned directly to the door of Xueyuan.

  Xiaoya was sitting in front of the door and guarding the door, and on the snow field in front of her, an elf priest was leading a group of summoned beasts to patrol.

  Xiaoya's game characters and summoned beasts have been transferred here before, and now she is sitting behind the door, playing the game while watching her characters move, feeling quite novel.

  In the end, she was really playing, when she saw a person suddenly appearing in front of the door, which startled her, and then she saw that it was Mu You.

   "Huh? Boss, why are you back? Aren't you going to push the tower soon?"

   "Something happened..."

  Mu You didn't have time to go into details. After entering the door, he immediately took out the mobile phone from the lock cylinder space, waited for a few seconds, and after the signal recovered, he took out a business card from his body and dialed the number on it.

  Under normal circumstances, if he wants to get in touch with the state department, he needs to contact Zhang Yang first. But it's too late to contact Zhang Yang now. There will always be a process for the spread of news from bottom to top, and now when every second is racing against time, there is no time to go through these processes.

  So Mu You directly contacted a person who had more power to speak—the Blood Emperor!

   At this moment, what he was holding in his hand was the business card that the Blood Emperor had given him when he rescued the little boy, on which was the Blood Emperor's personal phone number.

  Now he only hopes that the action team over there has not yet entered the door, and that the Blood Emperor has brought the phone with him.

   Fortunately, after a brief busy tone, the call was quickly connected.

"who?"

   From the other end, the blood emperor sounded a little wary. When a major operation was about to start, if they suddenly saw an unfamiliar number calling their own personal phone, anyone would be alert.

   "It's me, Mu You."

   "Oh?" Blood Emperor was taken aback, he had indeed given Mu You a private number, but the other party had never contacted him before, and he did not expect to call suddenly at this juncture.

"how?"

   "Stop the action immediately, the arcane tower in the barracks is a trap!" Mu You cut to the chase and summed up the situation directly.

"Um?"

  The blood emperor frowned when he heard the words, immediately stretched out his hand, and gestured to everyone in the hall: "Wait first!"

  At this moment, in a certain hall of the capital, nearly a hundred fully armed senior players have been fully equipped and ready to go at any time. In addition, there are a large number of armed personnel and liaison clerks who are responsible for handling various emergencies.

  The little boy Mu You had rescued before was now huddled in the corner of the room. Next to the boy, an arched door was opened a few centimeters apart. Inside the door was a dark night, with clouds faintly visible.

  In order to prevent the light from leaking through the door, a black cloth curtain was specially added to the door.

  When the Blood Emperor answered the phone, Gao Wan's team was actually ready to go, but he didn't expect the Blood Emperor to stop him suddenly, and they all looked at him strangely.

   After the blood emperor stopped the actions of others, he returned to the phone again: "What's going on, please elaborate!"

   Mu You tried his best to describe the situation he encountered just now as accurately as possible.

   "You mean, you were near the Arcane Tower just now and noticed the abnormality of the Arcane Tower?"

"Yes."

   "How did you identify it?" Blood Emperor asked.

   "It's a long story, but there is a high probability that the current Arcane Tower is a cover-up. The real Arcane Tower may be inside the Wizard Tower."

   "Maybe? In other words, you are not completely sure?" The Blood Emperor noticed the careful words in Mu You's words.

   "Yes." Mu You admitted directly. No one has ever seen the real Arcane Tower, and even Vivienne only suspected it. Before actually touching the tower, she still couldn't completely conclude that it was a fake.

  His task is not to forcibly give a definite answer, but to accurately convey the situation he has.

   "How sure is it?"

   "Seventy percent!"

   Mu You reckoned this figure, and then added: "As for the real Arcane Tower inside the Wizard Tower, there is no evidence for this, it's just a pure guess, or maybe the Wizard Association has used other means to hide it."

   "Okay, I see."

   Time was running out, and after learning what was going on, the Blood Emperor hung up the phone.

  Others gathered around immediately.

  As the person in charge of this operation, Jiuyou was the first to ask: "What's going on?"

  The Blood Emperor briefly explained what happened on the phone just now.

   "The Arcane Tower is fake?"

  Others were taken aback when they heard the news. At the same time, they were secretly glad that the call came in a timely manner. They were almost about to act just now...

   But not everyone believed the news.

  After a brief surprise, doubts followed.

   "Who is calling? What level? What identity? How does he know?" The first person to question was Yakov, the president of Russian Desert Light, level 20, one of the best in Russia.

  Light of the Desert is China's ally in Russia. Yakov led a total of thirteen high-level players in Russia to support this operation.

  The reason why Yakov was the first to stand up and question it was because they were responsible for the intelligence work on the Arcane Tower.

   Not long ago, his confidant intelligence personnel had just used special means to find out the exact situation of the Arcane Tower, and they were 100% sure that it was the real Arcane Tower.

  Of course Yakov trusted his subordinates, so he also vowed to convey the news to the allies of the Celestial Dynasty.

   Unexpectedly, when the action was about to take place, someone here raised doubts, suspecting that the Arcane Tower was a fake, which was equivalent to completely denying their hard-earned information, and slapped them in the face. Of course, Yakov's face was not good.

"The caller is Mu You, level 12, a special agent from a certain sub-bureau of the Abnormality Bureau. As for the method of knowing... According to him, he used some means to detect the abnormality of the Arcane Tower, and there is a high probability The Arcane Tower below is fake." The Blood Emperor did not add any details, but truthfully explained the situation.

   "Are you kidding me? How reliable is the information sent back by an ordinary level 12 player?" Yakov snorted immediately when he heard the words.

   Thought there was some definite conclusion, but the other party only had ambiguous doubts.

  The person in charge of the investigation on his side is a level 17 confidant who also has a hidden relic that specializes in intelligence. The two sides are incomparable in terms of trustworthiness and ability. Of course, he is more willing to believe the conclusions of his own personnel.

"It's not that simple. From what I know of this player, he is a very low-key and cautious person. He won't be aimless. He said that he is 70% sure. I'm afraid he said it after being cautious. The actual probability will only be higher. There is a high possibility that this information is true." The Blood Emperor said.

After the Blood Emperor finished speaking, Blue Beard, the president of the Ice Emperor next to him, couldn't help but question: "I've heard about this Mu You, and it's said that he has performed outstandingly lately...but he doesn't seem to have joined the Dissonance Bureau for long, right? You and the Blood Emperor Does he know him well?"

   "Not very familiar, we have known each other for less than a month, and have only met twice so far..." said the Blood Emperor.

   "A person who has only met twice, you just believe his words?" Bluebeard was weird.

   "I believe it." Said the blood emperor.

   "Ah, this..." Blue Beard didn't know what to say. The blood emperor's trust in this person made him feel a little inexplicable.

At this time, Cang Hai, the vice-chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, stood up to smooth things over: "President Yakov, don't worry, there is an old saying in China, 'It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have', regardless of whether it is true or not. , since someone raised this possibility, we should all pay attention.”

"Then what do you guys say? Are you going to give up taking action just because someone else said something that you can't prove?" Yakov was very upset. He thought it was a taboo to be indecisive before the war, but it's a pity that he is not here now. The actions this time were ultimately led by the players from the Celestial Dynasty.

  Others looked at each other in blank dismay, and were a little uncertain about paying attention, and finally turned their attention to one person in the hall.

  Jiuyou, the speaker of the dragon group, was the only one on the scene who took 25 bottles of evolution potion, one of the players who advanced to the epic, and the other was the ice emperor's blue beard.

  Jiuyou is the overall person in charge of this operation. When encountering such a major disagreement, of course he is the only one who can make the final decision on the spot.

   "Jiu Shen, look, do you want to postpone the action and investigate the situation first?" Cang Hai looked at Jiu You and suggested.

"no."

Jiuyou shook his head directly when he heard the words: "There is no way to secretly investigate this kind of thing. The only way to confirm it is to directly attack the Arcane Tower to see the feedback, and such a move will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Wizards Association. Besides, mobilization work is now It has been completed, the tasks of a large number of middle-level players have been distributed, the door has been opened, and the arrow is already on the string, and it is impossible not to fight."

Of course, the others also understood what he meant. They worked hard, then weakened, and exhausted three times. This time, everyone's morale was the highest, and they stopped when they were most prepared. If they want to organize an effective attack in the future, it will only be more difficult. Disaster.

   "Let me tell you, just go ahead with the original plan! If the tower is fake, then we are unlucky, and we will withdraw and make a long-term plan!" Yakov said.

   "Withdraw? It's not that easy!"

"If the Arcane Tower is fake, then if we jump down, it is equivalent to falling directly into the encirclement of the enemy's army! Moreover, if the Wizards Association is willing to spend a lot of money to build a high tower, wouldn't they prepare some other towers?" trap?"

"Then do we have to transfer directly to the wizard tower? You know, there are magic crystal cannons on the wizard tower! If the arcane tower is really built inside the wizard tower, our airborne plan is impossible to complete. During the landing process It will be locked by the magic crystal cannon, and even the 'door' will be knocked down..."

   "I think it's better to land on an open space where there is no one else first, and then let's talk about where the real tower is. If you don't even know the target, how will you fight this battle..."

  Everyone was talking about it.

   At this time, all the pressure came to Jiuyou.

  If there is a chance, he would like to talk to the boss on the ghost ship at this time. He thinks that the boss may give a more definite conclusion and tell them which side is true and which side is false.

  Unfortunately, after disembarking just now, I have lost the channel to contact the other party.

   What's more, now he doesn't have time to struggle.

  It is already 11:33, three minutes past the scheduled action time. No matter what they choose, they must make a decision immediately.

   "Map!" Jiuyou said suddenly.

  The hall suddenly fell silent, and someone immediately sent a topographical map of the capital of the empire.

  Jiuyou spread out the map on the desktop, quickly scanned the map, and quickly selected a location.

  Actually, they have held special meetings to study this map many times recently, and most of the places are already familiar by heart. At this time, it is just to determine a specific location.

   "Change the landing point, land here!"

  Everyone looked at the location Jiuyou pointed to.

   It was a mountain forest not far from the guard camp, which was an uninhabited area.

   "After landing, send people into the barracks first, and get close to the Arcane Tower to find out what is true. If it is true, then attack from the outside and in, and then act according to the previous tactics of destroying the tower." Jiuyou announced the decision.

"President Jiuyou, I must remind you that it is very likely to miss the opportunity to destroy the tower!" Yakov frowned. This action is safe, but it will increase the difficulty of destroying the tower out of thin air. And breaking the tower directly from close range are completely two kinds of difficulty.

  If the original plan had a 90% chance of successfully destroying the tower, this would leave less than 20%!

   "If the Arcane Tower is real, and it leads to the failure of the push and build, it is my full responsibility." Jiuyou looked at everyone and said calmly.

   "Alas..." Yakov sighed after hearing Jiuyou's statement, but didn't say anything else.

  The others had no objections and immediately started to act.

   "Fog of War!"

  Jiuyou shouted, and everyone quickly gathered in the center of the hall. One of them used a consumable item in his hand, and everyone was immediately covered in a layer of gray mist.

"Set off!"

  The next moment, everyone rushed to the arched door, one after another rushed out of the door, stepped on the floating stone hidden in the clouds of another world outside the door, and then jumped 10,000 meters into the sky.

   Except for the two people who stayed on the floating rocks as support, the other 98 people all came to a high-altitude bungee jump.

  Landing from an altitude of 10,000 meters, affected by resistance, it takes more than three minutes to land, and there is enough time to adjust the landing point.

  All the way straight down, when they were about to land, everyone just showed their magical powers, slow falling, floating, flying... all kinds of spells were cast, and finally they all landed safely and accurately in the predetermined mountain forest.

   I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the spot they chose now coincides with the hiding spot that Mu You chose just now. Of course, Mu You had already left the scene by now, and hadn't been able to meet the big team.

  After landing, everyone looked at the barracks and towers in the distance.

   "Morning Star, use your relics to mark West Wind, and let West Wind go to check the situation." Jiuyou arranged the task.

Chenxing and Xifeng are both members of the dragon team. Chenxing's relic is called a 'locator'. When used on a nearby target, no matter what state the target is in, how far away it is, whether it is alive or dead, the target will be forced to return to the location after ten seconds. position at the time of marking.

  Xie Feng is the member with the highest agility value and the fastest speed in the dragon group. At the same time, he also has a "big teleportation" magic, which can be transferred to any position within one to five kilometers in front.

  With the cooperation of their two abilities, they can instantly detect the situation of the Arcane Tower in the distance while ensuring safety.

"good."

  The two people who were named had no objection and immediately started to act.

  Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xing took out a compass and used it towards West Wind. At the same time, West Wind faced the direction of the Arcane Tower, estimated the distance in his heart, and then waved his wand, and the whole person disappeared instantly.

   Ten seconds passed in a flash.

Ten seconds later, Chen Xing's figure appeared out of thin air again, and everyone was surprised to find that his body was covered with wounds of various sizes, and there were bursts of green mist all over his body. The halo has turned black, and it is still losing vitality under the action of the toxin.

   "Quick, heal!"

  The healers in the team acted immediately, adding healing and dispelling spells to West Wind one by one, quickly bringing back his health.

   "Damn, what a trap!" Xifeng couldn't wait to announce the news while receiving treatment.

   "You mean the Arcane Tower is fake?" Jiuyou hurriedly confirmed.

"Yeah, it's definitely fake. I cut it down with a knife, and the tower was like paper, and I cut a big gap. The real arcane tower can't be so fragile! And the surface of the tower seems to bless some This kind of curse, if I go down with the knife, I will suffer ten times the counter-injury and get a row of negative effects!"

   There was still a trace of fear on Xifeng's face: "This includes the teleportation seal. If it weren't for Morning Star's locator, I might not be able to come back!"

  Others were astonished when they heard the words, but also felt quite fortunate: Fortunately, they didn't go in directly, otherwise, they might have to replicate the tragedy of North American players some time ago.

  It is said that 40% of the North American players stayed on the opposite side forever in the end of the action. The rest of the players who came back were also severely injured, and various props and experience were lost.

  Yakov, who previously advocated the original planned action, was completely dumbfounded at this time.

  Until Xifeng came back just now, he still firmly believed that the Arcane Tower was real, and still regretted that this operation would be destroyed by Jiuyou's indecision.

   Unexpectedly, he was the one who was severely slapped in the face in the end!

  Looking at the miserable state of Xifeng when he just came back, he could already imagine what a tragic situation it would be if everyone really continued to act according to his ideas just now.

   At that time, not to mention that the task of destroying the tower cannot be completed, I am afraid that more than half of them will have to confess here. At that time, he will really become a sinner of the two countries.

"how so?"

   Even more confused than Yakov is his subordinate who provided the information. He still can't believe that the result of repeated investigations and repeated confirmations with hidden relics is actually fake? Has the level of counterfeiting of wizards in the astral world reached this level?

   "Okay, this matter is over now. Everyone concentrates on the next stage of action now!"

  Jiuyou did not pursue this matter too much, so as not to affect morale.

   At the moment when time is racing against time, other people will naturally not hold on to it. The news of the attack on the fake Arcane Tower must have been passed on during the investigation just now, and the Wizards Association may respond at any time.

  Led by Jiuyou, a group of people braved the fog of war and rushed towards the Wizard Tower.

   At the same time, Jiuyou also passed the news to the responders of the floating stone above through a kind of magic words. The responders immediately sent the news back to Earth.

   A minute later, all the elite players on Earth who participated in this operation received a precise message on their mobile phones, explaining the situation of the real Arcane Tower inside the Wizard Tower and the change of the mission.

   Not only that, just five minutes later, all domestic TV programs, as well as the live broadcast rooms and news channels of major Internet platforms, all urgently inserted a banner news.

  The title is conspicuous in eight characters: The task of destroying the tower, the national mobilization!
