Chapter 362 The Behind-the-Scenes Boss of the Undead Society

[You came to the west area of ​​the underground factory. ]

[You passed by disguised as a cleaning robot and cleaned up all the way. ]

[You saw that the entrance to the west area in front was full of checkpoints and monitoring equipment. The yellow lines on the ground indicated that this was a no-go area. ]

[The reconnaissance camera above immediately aimed at you when it noticed your approach. In front of the entrance, an elderly administrator wearing reading glasses and sitting on a recliner reading a book also looked up at you. ]

[You had to turn around in front of the no-go line and continue to clean up ahead...]

Mu You looked at the text in the game. It was not so easy to get in when you got there. The entrance here was specially arranged by an administrator to guard it 24 hours a day.

Then he controlled the character to wander around nearby. Unfortunately, all the places that looked like entrances were guarded tightly, and even cleaning robots were not allowed to approach.

But as I said, no matter how tightly guarded a place is, it is impossible to be airtight.

Since there is a Gu pool in the west area, thousands of Gu insects must produce a large number of insect corpses every day. How to discharge these garbage?

Mu You continued to search patiently nearby.

About half an hour later, he found a place.

[You found that there were dozens of cleaning robots gathered in front of a black river. ]

[You walked forward and found a large number of Gu worm corpses floating in the river. It was these worm corpses that dyed the river water black. ]

[These cleaning robots stood on both sides of the river like assembly line workers, constantly fishing out worm corpses from the river and throwing them into the trash cans on their bodies. When the trash cans were full, they were transported out in batches for destruction. ]

[You squeezed into the robot team to help, and at the same time looked around. Soon you found that there was a pipe opening at the end of the river, and black water was constantly discharged from the pipe... ]

When Mu You saw this, he understood that this pipe was obviously a sewage pipe, and it was likely directly connected to the Gu pool. As long as you follow this pipe, you should be able to reach the Gu pool directly.

[You moved away from the river and went around the pipe at an angle that other robots could not see. ]

[You entered the pipe opening. The pipe was full of rotten worm corpses, and was pushed forward by the water at the bottom. ]

[You go against the current, and your two mechanical arms push away the insect corpses around you, crawling towards the depths of the pipe. ]

[Many of the corpses of the Gu worms are acidic and corrosive, and will corrode any organisms that stray into the pipe, even mechanical bodies. The outer shell of your mecha is being corroded and softened bit by bit. Fortunately, you are equipped with active armor, which can continuously repair your damage, and the speed of damage and repair tends to be balanced. ]

[After crawling forward for a distance, you find that living Gu worms begin to appear gradually in the pipe, and as you move forward, the number increases rapidly. ]

[Various living Gu crawl all over your body, constantly wandering on the surface of your body, as if trying to find a breakthrough to drill into your body. Fortunately, you are now a mechanical body and cannot be parasitized by Gu worms. ]

[Although the Gu worms cannot drill into your body, the appearance of a large number of insects still greatly hinders your speed of progress, especially many insects drill into your joints, making it more and more difficult for your body to move. ]

[... The Gu worms completely blocked all your joints, and you can't move! 】

"Damn."

Mu You's eyelids jumped.

A robot with super power can be stuck by insects and crash. You can imagine how dense the insects are here.

Luckily, this is a text game, and a few lines of text can be easily passed. If it were a 3D game, no one would be able to bear the impact of such a picture.

Mu You had to quit the game and log off, and then log in again half a minute later.

[You appear in a sewage pipe full of poisonous insects, feeling relaxed, and continue to climb forward. 】

When you log off, the character will enter a collapsed state in place. At this time, the insects attached to the surface of the body will of course not be able to enter the collapse, and will be naturally discharged and fall back into the pipe. When you log on again, the game character will become clean.

However, this state cannot last long. After about a minute, the text prompts that the mecha is crawling with insects again, and it is unable to move again.

There is no way, and then Mu You has to log on and off every minute to continuously clean the insects on his body.

After crawling in the pipe for more than an hour, a new prompt popped up.

[You crawled out of the end of the pipe and entered a very wide arc-shaped pool. ]

[The pool was full of dense Gu worms, which were dozens of times denser than the Gu worms in the pipe. ]

[Thousands of insects were surging and wriggling in the pool, making the whole pool look like a boiling insect lake...]

Finally, I arrived at the Gu pool described in the diary. This place was really amazing. The number of insects was much more than he had imagined.

Of course, the more such a place, the more likely it was that the nemesis of insects would appear.

Mu You hurriedly controlled the character to continue crawling in the Gu pool.

Now his body was pressed to the bottom of the Gu pool, and his head was covered with at least several meters of insect tides, and he could not see what the outside world looked like.

Mu You simply activated the sand spider nest.

[Hundreds of sand spiders poured out of you and explored the insect pool in all directions. 】

【A large number of detection images flashed before you, but the images were basically covered by dense insects...】

The pool was ridiculously large. Even with more than a hundred sand spiders working at the same time, it took half an hour before the first intelligence was finally transmitted back.

[One of your sand spiders found a crumpled note in a crack in the wall somewhere at the edge of the pool. ]

Mu You hurried over to check.

[The note was wrapped in an antiseptic book cover, but it was still gnawed by insects. ]

[You opened the note and vaguely recognized the handwriting on it. ]

[The remaining pages of Louise's diary. 】

【…I was taken by that weird Yubaba to a dark underground dormitory, or hospital. According to Yubaba, I had a serious disease and had to receive treatment here for several years…After entering the hospital, I found that there were many children waiting for ‘treatment’ like me…I was assigned to Ward 15 of the North District Treatment Center. It seemed that someone had lived here not long ago, because there were many items left by the previous owner in the room, but now, they are all mine…

The girl living in Ward 14 next to me is a girl named Mianmian. She looks about the same age as me, with a pair of ruby-like eyes and straight long hair. Her facial features are also exquisite, as cute as a doll…I tried to say hello to her, but she ignored me. When she looked at me, there was not even a trace of expression on her face, just like Gao The unmelted ice and snow on the plains kept people away from me coldly, which made me feel a little lost... Until that night, when everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep, I suddenly heard a faint knocking sound from the wall, coming from Ward 14 next door... I was lying on the wall trying to listen clearly, when the knocking sound suddenly stopped, and then a note was sent from the bottom of the wall...

I opened the note, and it said "You can go anywhere, but don't enter the West District, there is a terrible "monster" there"... This is the first time I heard about the legend of the "monster", a kind reminder from the patient next door...

——1/8]

This is the first page of the diary. There is not much valuable content on this page. In addition to mentioning the keyword "monster" again, the only useful information is probably the specific location of "Ward 15 of the North District Treatment Center".

The North District was the abandoned area he had searched before, but the area was too large, and he had only passed by most of the places and had not used the search spell to search. This ward was the room where Louise had lived for a long time, and there might be other clues in it.

Of course, there was no rush, let's finish the matter in this pool first.

Almost as soon as Mu You finished reading the diary, a new prompt popped up.

[One of your sand spiders saw a golden glow on the other side of the Gu pool, which was so dazzling among the black insects everywhere. ]

[You immediately controlled the sand spider to approach and continue to explore. Soon the sand spider got out of the insect tide and saw a small blank area in front of it. In the center of the blank area, there was a golden silkworm pupa growing. The surging sea of ​​insects surrounded the silkworm pupa, but they all seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and did not dare to approach it at all, which made a piece of open space around the silkworm pupa. ]

[Golden silkworm pupa: The young eggs of the golden silkworm can hatch mature golden silkworms. After the contract, the golden silkworm will help you devour the poisonous insects on your body at any time, and feedback to your physical strength and magic power. Every time you devour the poisonous insects, you will recover 500 magic points and increase your action power by 5 points. 】

Mu You's eyes lit up, it was indeed a golden silkworm!

And the specific effect of this golden silkworm also surprised him. Not only can it remove the poison, but it can also help restore physical strength when swallowing the poisonous insects.

Eating a poison can restore five points of action power, so as long as he can get this golden silkworm, it will be equivalent to having unlimited physical strength in the Cook Sea in the future!

Mu You hurriedly let the character approach this side, ready to go through the sea of ​​insects to take the silkworm chrysalis.

As a result, before he could do anything, a new prompt suddenly popped up in the game.

[You are about to approach the silkworm chrysalis, and suddenly you hear a faint voice in front of you. ]

["President, everything is normal here, you don't have to worry..." This voice is quite familiar, it is the voice of the stick man who took you into the underground factory before. ]

[Another voice sounded at this time: "Well, I can't move now, and I need to concentrate on another body recently. I will entrust you with the affairs of the club."]

["What's the trouble in the Forgotten Land?" The voice of the stick man.]

["There are some troubles. I was injured by the fool's scheme, and those fools seem to have mastered the method of identifying us and began to search for us in a big way." The voice of another person.]

["What do you plan to do?"]

["How long will it take for the space crack to open next time? I need a specific time."]

["According to the law, the space crack will open in 43 hours and 32 minutes. This time is a long-lost space wave peak. After opening, the crack will last for seven hours, and after the crack ends, it will not open again for at least half a year in the future." The voice of the stick man. 】

【"Yes, it seems that the time is on our side. All we need to do next is to survive 43 hours under the investigation of those fools... However, in order to prevent the fools from finding the space crack in advance, during this period of time, let the other shadow messengers who are "sleeping" in the core area release some bait from time to time. Remember, you must throw the "bait" in an area far away from the crack to divert the attention of those fools." Another person's voice. 】

["Yes...but, where is No. 14?" The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】

["No. 14... happened to fall into the hands of someone who is not easy to offend, so I can only give up temporarily..." The other person's voice was gritted. 】

["Then... do you need to send someone to monitor the former residence of No. 14? That person has obtained No. 14, and maybe he will investigate." The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】

["Don't add unnecessary trouble! The residence of No. 14 is very close to the location of the crack. If someone is sent there, clues may be discovered. Instead, it will attract the Fool's attention here."]

[You go tell the other shadow messengers that no one should get close to the crack recently. The highest priority mission of everyone at the moment is to escort me safely back to the Star Spirit Realm. For this, everything else can be sacrificed... You understand me. You mean it? "Another person's voice.]

"...Understood. Don't worry, President, I will persuade them to be a good bait with peace of mind, and I will give them a decent settlement later and let them return to the embrace of the Lord." The voice of the Ma Gan man. 】

["Yeah, very good." Another person's voice. 】

[The conversation ended, and at the same time there was a sound of footsteps. 】

[Through the perspective of another sand spider, you see the Ma Gan man walking down the high platform in the center of the Gu pool and falling into the Gu pool, but there is a golden silkworm's nest fixed on his waist, and a golden silkworm's nest in the silkworm's nest. The silkworm is slowly squirming. 】

[Under the intimidation of the golden silkworm, none of the surrounding Gu insects dared to approach the Ma Gan man, and consciously made way for him. The Ma Gan man walked out of the Gu pool along the road until the footsteps disappeared into the darkness... 】

Mu You patiently read this long text without taking any action along the way.

He didn't expect that someone was standing on the platform next to the Gu pool, only a few dozen meters away from him. Fortunately, he was buried deep at the bottom of the insect tide, so he was not discovered. By the way, he overheard the other person. dialogue.

And this conversation is very informative.

First of all, the other party mentioned space cracks!

In other words, these shadow people have not been traveling to and from the earth through doors, but through space cracks. They can even calculate the exact opening time of the space cracks, and the next opening will be in 43 hours. Calculated by time, that is Saturday morning.

This person seems to be planning to let his shadow escape when the space crack opens, and in order to achieve this goal, he even does not hesitate to use other shadow people as bait, just to prevent the space crack from being exposed in advance.

Second, this person just mentioned that he is now ‘unable to move’. In other words, in the process of casting the shadow into another world, the shadow man will enter a state similar to ‘bed rest’. Moreover, this person seems to be the boss behind the Undead Society. He is not locked up with other shadow people, so he needs to pass the message through the Magan people...

But having said that, since the boss of the Undead Society is very close to him now, there is only one person, and he is still in a state of being unable to move...can't he take action directly?

If you can directly kill the behind-the-scenes boss here, many problems will become much simpler.

Thinking of this, Mu You immediately held his pocket watch and gave the game character a 'fight' command.

[You realize that this is the perfect opportunity to kill the opponent's boss. You make a prompt decision and jump directly out of the insect tide. Machine guns, cannons and other weapons appear at the same time, aiming at the high platform next to the Gu pool, preparing for firepower. Fully open. 】

[However, before you can draw your gun, in the darkness on the high platform, some kind of terrifying existence suddenly opened its eyes...]

[You are enveloped by a strong pressure, you are unable to move and your consciousness is blurred. 】

[You feel something coming towards you...]

【You are dead! 】
