This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic Chapter 693

Mu You carried the little boy and walked all the way into the mist.

Through the hazy mountain reflections, we finally came to an illusory stone door.

Mu You stretched out his hand forward.

As expected, his hand passed directly through the stone door. Obviously this mountain does not really exist, at least it is impossible to walk in directly physically.

Mu You glanced at the little boy at hand and motioned for him to take the next step.

 “Put me down first!” The little boy was still struggling.

 “Be honest and don't play tricks.”

Mu You gave him a warning and let him down.

The little boy fell to the ground, quickly got up, patted Mu You's wrinkled collar, glared at him, and then walked to a conspicuous gap on the side of the stone door.

 “Standing in this position, communicate with the Creation Mountain through the line of cause and effect.”

Mu You glanced at it and stood at another symmetrical gap.

 Soon, most of his consciousness sank into the line of cause and effect, leaving only a small part to watch the little boy to prevent him from escaping.

Soon, Mu You's consciousness followed the line of cause and effect and reached the front of the light ball again.

This time the light ball in front of him gave him a completely different feeling. If the original Chuangjie Mountain was a big fire ball similar to the sun, he would be burned as long as he got close to it.

 The ball of light now calmed down and became much gentler.

Through the perspective of his thoughts, Mu You had already seen the causal line of thought belonging to the little boy near the light ball, standing with him on both sides of the light ball, one on the left and the other on the right.

 A few seconds later, their consciousnesses hit the ball of light at the same time.

 Unexpectedly, they did not encounter any obstacles, and their consciousnesses rushed into the light ball smoothly.

 “Boom…”

 A more violent wave than before spread from the inside of the light ball to all the causal lines around the light ball.

 At the same time, all players on the planet who were playing the game simultaneously received a notification that the game was offline.

 When Mu You opened his eyes again, he found himself in an ancient and humid cave.

A square hall was excavated in front of him. The stone walls on all sides were carved with a large number of totems and words that he could not understand. However, because no one had set foot in it for a long time, the originally neat ceiling was covered with green moss and various kinds of things. There are unknown fungi and the walls are covered with spider webs, making it look like an abandoned ancient tomb.

 Mu You spent two seconds to collect his thoughts and quickly adapted to the environment.

 Looking down, he saw that there was nothing around him. He was the only one around him, and the little boy who was supposed to come in with him disappeared.

 “That little boy ran away!”

The chameleon helmet appeared above Mu You's head, and Ava's prompt sounded.

“Oh?” Mu You frowned: “How long have we been here?”

“Two minutes and thirty-six seconds,” Ava said.

"So long?" Mu You was surprised. From his perspective, it only took a moment from when he sank into the ball of light to when he opened his eyes again.

"Yes, you and the little boy's body appeared here together at that time, but there was a certain delay in the entry of consciousness. It was not until half a minute ago that the little boy regained consciousness before you, and hurriedly escaped in before you woke up. That passage on the left."

Ava explained: "Because the situation was unclear, I did not choose to follow the other party, but stayed and waited for you to recover."

"I see…"

 Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Ava made the right choice. It would be easy to be countered if she rashly pursued her in this unfamiliar environment.

As for the little boy, he is not worried. The power of heaven he blessed on the opponent should last for a few minutes. During this period, the opponent cannot use the divine power and cannot run very far.

 “Are you going to find each other?” Ava asked.

“Ignore him and do business first!” Mu You shook his head.

Mu You always remembered that the purpose of their coming to Chuangjie Mountain was to modify the settings of the Star Spirit Realm and shut down the Great Disaster.

The entrance to Chuangjie Mountain will only be open for about ten minutes every day, and the creatures inside will be forcibly kicked out as soon as it is clicked. Almost three minutes have passed, and time is very tight.

Mu You directly turned on the maximum power of Chi Xiao, and rushed out like lightning, rushing into the largest passage in front of the hall.

There are many corridors around this hall, twists and turns leading to nowhere, Mu You didn't think much, and directly chose the most conspicuous passage in the middle, because according to the layout of the site, this passage leads to the most central place. has the highest probability.

Facts have proved that Mu You guessed right. This is not a maze. There is no need to design any special tricks. He walked through the middle passage and came to a cloister area, following the guidance all the way deep.

 Soon, Mu You entered a wider hall.

This is a hexagonal hall, more than ten times larger than the entrance cave just now.

 The hall is surrounded by various "modern" instruments and mysterious runes, which are somewhat similar to the dashboard of a spaceship. Countless ancient runes are constantly flashing on the major arrays.

In the middle of the hall, there is a very familiar huge light ball. On the surface it looks exactly like the Chuangjie Mountain light ball in consciousness, but it is no longer an illusory existence, but is floating in the hall in a physical form. .

 The perimeter of the light ball is covered with densely packed 'silk threads', connecting to the surrounding mountain walls and converging on the mountain walls, like circuit diagrams on a circuit board, neatly folded, intersecting, and finally connected to hundreds of surrounding instruments.

In addition, there is some white mist floating around the hall, like clouds in the sky, floating slowly nearby, condensing into a shape from time to time, and then slowly spreading out, condensing into new ones farther away. The shape comes over and over again.

Miraculously, these white smoke condenses are all small creatures from the astral world, including birds, fish, insects, cattle, sheep, etc., but they are all harmless creatures, wandering aimlessly in the hall, and they don't look dangerous. Mu You didn't care.

 Having a panoramic view of the scene, Mu You already understood.

This is obviously the 'main control room' of Chuangjie Mountain, similar to the source of the server.

 These surrounding instruments are similar to external devices such as keyboards and mice, which allow administrators to adjust various settings within the photosphere without affecting the operation of the photosphere.

However, there is no explanatory text on these instruments. Without instructions, if you operate the instrument indiscriminately, it may cause unknown consequences, let alone a complex operation such as shutting down the Catastrophe accurately. It is simply impossible to realize the operation logic of the light ball first.

 Fortunately, Ava had anticipated this a long time ago and brought it here just for now.

 “Ava.” Mu You called out.

“Understood.” Ava was already prepared, and detached herself from Mu You and floated in front of the light ball.

From the inside of the helmet, several hair-thin energy threads extended out, extending far away, and finally penetrated into the light ball.

 A stream of information began to converge into Ava's brain.

“Data parsing, progress: 0.5%…1%…1.5%…”

 Ava reports on the implementation progress.

To Mu You's relief, the analysis speed was much faster than expected. According to Ava's counting speed, it would take about two minutes to reach 100%, which was plenty of time.

However, less than two seconds after Ava started analyzing the data, Mu You suddenly felt a wave of heart palpitations coming from behind. He hurriedly rolled on the spot, but he was still a step too late, and a burning pain came from his back.

　　Mu You rolled to his feet and quickly looked back, only to see a scene that made his scalp numb.

An elk made of black mist was standing at his original position, grinning at him.

This elk seems to be an illusory existence and has no entity. This can be seen from the fact that the Chixiao suit covering his back has no damage. However, his health value has been reduced for no reason after contact with the elk. A full 1,000 points were lost.

 “Armor-piercing attack?”

Mu You was a little surprised and confused. Before he had time to think too much, the blackened elk on the opposite side was already kicking its front hooves on the ground, raising its antlers, and charging towards him.

 Mu You wouldn't be too nervous if there was only this one weird thing.

 The key point is that there is more than one thing.

The moment Ava started to analyze the data, the small creatures that were originally condensed into white mist all around them instantly turned into this black monster, charging towards Muyou like a mad mother.

Mu You hurriedly dodged, and at the same time, the Death Hell Knife appeared in his hand and struck out with one strike.

A small crescent-moon sword energy whizzed across and struck the elk accurately. The elk immediately fell into pieces and disappeared.

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these things were destructible and seemed weak. They could be solved with a single knife.

Of course, even so, the situation is not optimistic.

The black mist creatures around the hall are still being generated continuously. Most of them are rushing towards Mu You, and some of them are heading straight for the helmet in the air.

 Mu You hurriedly swung his sword, and a large amount of sword energy formed around him, constantly smashing the black mist beasts into pieces, especially Ava, who could not let these things affect Ava's actions.

This thing should be the self-protection mechanism of Chuangjie Mountain. Once someone touches the core light ball in an illegal way, this thing will be automatically generated until the offender is killed or expelled.

 Fortunately, Muyou can backtrack, and sometimes stop and speed are available, so the fault tolerance rate is extremely high.

Eva's side also acted quickly enough. Muyou persisted for about a minute and a half. Seeing that the density of the surrounding creatures was getting higher and higher, and it became increasingly difficult to take care of both, Ava's report finally sounded.

  “…100%. Data parsing completed.”

“How is it?” Mu You asked hurriedly.

“I have successfully mastered the logical principles of all the underlying settings of the Star Spirit World, but... I have insufficient authority to modify it,” Ava said.

 “Can't be modified, what do you mean?” Mu You was stunned.

 Aren't the hundreds of instruments around us designed to modify the world settings?

"It should have been possible, but Chuangjie Mountain is missing something important now, just like the server is missing its 'key' and cannot enter the developer mode... All the world setting buttons in Chuangjie Mountain have been locked. , cannot be modified."

"No way..." Mu You's heart skipped a beat.

Having spent so much effort to transform Ava into a soul, she finally entered the Creation Mountain. As a result, the place cannot be modified from the beginning?

  Could it be that this was the reason why the first generation of fools returned from Chuangjie Mountain without success?

 But if that's the case, why didn't they say it earlier?

Such important information should be conveyed to future generations as soon as possible...

 Mu You slashed the black mist creatures gathering around him with one knife. He rushed to a meter on the edge with some disbelief and clicked on it randomly.

 Because there is backtracking, he does not have to worry about irreversible consequences. If something goes wrong, he can just go back.

However, what makes Mu You despair is that no matter how he operates, the light ball in the distance does not change at all, as if the instruments around him are just decorations...

 “What is missing?” Mu You asked.

 “It should be a stone plate…”

 “Stone plate?”

 “Wait a moment, we are collecting information...”

Ava made an emergency operation, and the helmet projected a light curtain in mid-air. On the light screen, scenes were rapidly switching between scenes.

After killing the enemy, Mu You took the time to glance around. What flashed across the light screen were images of caves, including the hall where they were standing.

 Mu You even saw himself in this picture.

Obviously, what Ava is playing is the real-time surveillance footage of the entire Chuangjie Mountain.

 After the screen flashed for a while, it finally stopped in one of the caves.

This is a small cave. On the ground in the center, there is a stone altar, and inside the altar is a wide circular groove.

 Judging from the shape and surface wear, there should have been some kind of round object placed on the surface of this altar, but at this moment, the contents inside were missing.

 The thing that can control the core of the entire Chuangjie Mountain must not be an ordinary thing.

Mu You was thinking about treasures of similar shapes and sizes when he suddenly noticed a young figure rushing into the cave on the surveillance screen.

 It was the little boy who ran away before.

At this moment, the boy was sweating profusely, and seemed to be blocked by a repulsive force. He could only lie on the ground, use all four limbs together, and crawl forward with difficulty toward the center of the altar.

 “What does this man want to do?”

Mu You frowned, and his intuition told him that what this little boy wanted to do was not simple.

Furthermore, this guy did not come to the main control room after entering. Instead, he went straight to the place in the picture. He obviously knew something.

 “Lead the way!”

Mu You shouted, smashed the black air creatures that were coming around him with a knife, and ran towards the exit of the hall.

Ava also immediately floated back to Mu You, landed on top of his head, and pointed out the route to the cave for him.

 At this time, there is not much time left to open Chuangjie Mountain.

Mu You pushed Chi Xiao to the limit, turning it into a red lightning that traveled through the twists and turns of Chuangjie Mountain.

At full speed, it only took Muyou ten seconds to rush into the cave.

In front of you, the figure of the little boy was clearly visible. At this moment, the boy had crawled into the groove of the altar and was taking out something from his body.

Mu You rushed in directly, wanting to stop the opponent's actions. No matter what this person wanted to do, it was always right to stop him first.

However, as soon as he entered the cave, an extremely powerful repulsive force acted on him, making it difficult for him to move forward.

 Mu You frowned, subconsciously took out the Death Prison Knife and slashed it out.

As a result, the slashed sword energy seemed to encounter repulsive force, as if it was slowing down, it flew towards the center of the altar at an extremely slow speed, and the closer it got to the center, the slower it became.

There seems to be a speed field in this cave, which locks the upper limit of speed. Regardless of whether it is material or various energy attacks, if you want to get close, you can only crawl over slowly.

 “You're here! Haha, it's a pity it's too late...”

The boy saw Mu You, but he didn't panic. Instead, he showed a confident smile.

As he spoke, a small hourglass appeared in the boy's hand and was placed in the center of the altar.

The moment the hourglass hit the ground, it seemed to have suffered some kind of impact, and it shattered with a pop, and dense cracks appeared on the surface.

 The moment the hourglass flashed past, Mu You could vaguely see the name and grade of this thing.

 Boundary anchor point, 10 stars!

 This is an artifact, an artifact of the God of Time.

"What do you want to do?" Mu You didn't expect that the other party would detonate an artifact at this time.

Moreover, Mu You has actually seen something similar to this prop called an 'anchor'.

 In the previous battle in the City of Order, the scroll that Zhan Shen activated was a 'space anchor' scroll. Its function was that after being torn open, it could instantly summon an army from countless miles away.

"You'll know right away... No, you should have no chance to know. History will be rewritten. It's not even sure whether you will be born this time! Haha..." (End of this chapter)
