This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

  Chapter 20 Unable to Peace!

"No."

   Mu You glanced at the photo, then shook his head blankly again.

  His tone and expression were very natural, and nothing abnormal could be seen.

   But in fact, the moment he saw the photo, his heartbeat almost stopped.

  Because, the figure in the photo is exactly the beater after his transformation last night!

  The photo seems to be a surveillance screenshot, and the time is a silhouette taken from a distance when he just entered the park last night.

  Mu You thought that his whereabouts were hidden enough last night, but he was still photographed. It seems that he still doesn't know enough about the layout of the surrounding surveillance...

   Fortunately, the strengthened mental strength yesterday helped him stabilize his heartbeat and breathing, and didn't let him show his flaws.

  The policeman seemed to be asking casually, but after Mu You shook his head, he didn't ask any more questions.

   "Try not to go out at night recently, there may be criminals around you."

  After leaving this sentence, the police turned and left.

   "Uncle police, walk slowly."

  Close the door, but Mu You didn't go back to the house, but immediately pressed his ear to the wall behind the door, eavesdropping.

  The enhanced hearing allowed him to clearly hear the sounds from the street outside the door.

  A policewoman walked towards the policeman with a square face and reported to him: "Captain Zhang, after the forensic examination, the dog's body is indeed the tooth marks of a wolf... But there is one strange thing."

"What?"

   "According to the judgment of the forensic doctor, it seems that the dog's neck was artificially twisted first, and then it was disembowelled by wolves!"

   "In other words, like the previous two homicides, it's another 'murder by wolf' case?"

   "Yes, based on the current clues, it is very likely that the same murderer did it... But why did the murderer kill a dog on purpose?"

   "What about monitoring?"

   "The surrounding surveillance has been disturbed, and nothing was captured..."

  …

  The two voices outside the door gradually faded away, and what remained were some useless conversations.

   "The werewolf has committed other crimes before?" Mu You was a little surprised.

  The two policemen obviously didn't know the existence of the werewolf, so they could only infer that the case was someone who "led a wolf to commit a murder".

   What he didn't expect was that the werewolf seemed to have done similar things before, and it was a homicide!

   Mu You hurriedly turned on his phone and searched for recent cases that happened nearby.

  The result is really there!

  Three months ago, two consecutive homicides occurred in a nearby community. The dead were two unrelated young people living alone. Because the killing methods were similar, the police highly suspected that it was the same person, and it was finally defined as a serial murder case...

   "Are these two dead young men also players?"

   After reading the case report released by the police, Mu You can already guess the general idea.

   This werewolf has obviously been a 'player' for a long time.

And these two young people are probably new players who just registered the game three months ago. Because the interests of werewolves were touched in the game, they were chased and killed by werewolf players. In the end, the werewolves discovered their identities in reality and died tragically. In their respective homes…

   "So what about today?"

   Mu You thought of the dog corpse today again.

  This werewolf ran out to kill a dog in the middle of the night, and deliberately left the dog's corpse in such a conspicuous public place. Why... Could it be to express a demonstration to him?

  The more Mu You thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

  One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention that werewolves and civilians are originally two camps in the game.

  Werewolves make a living by hunting civilians in the game, and after other players join the village, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of werewolf hunting, and may even kill werewolves. Then it is understandable that werewolves do not allow other players to exist nearby.

   "It seems that I have become the third target of this werewolf..." Mu You frowned.

  The only good news is that the other party still doesn't know his identity and location.

   But this is only temporary. As a player, unless you don't touch the game at all, you will more or less show some differences from ordinary people.

  Of course, this is the same for werewolves. This werewolf's actions are so high-profile, it is impossible to be completely flawless.

  If Mu You can find the real body of the werewolf in reality, even if he can't fight the opponent head-on, he can still attack him, or even use the power of the police to arrest him directly.

   But if he is found by werewolves first... then it's over, what happened to those two players three months ago is his fate.

  In short, now it depends on who both of them find first.

   Whoever can confirm the identity of the other party first will have the initiative!

  Thinking of this, Mu You suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

   "You can no longer herd sheep like this in the game, you need to improve your strength as soon as possible!"

  In the game, you can get a lot of attribute points by upgrading. The werewolf is now at level seven, and the attributes added by the upgrade alone have crushed him several times.

  So he must also raise the level as soon as possible, at least before the next encounter with a werewolf, he can't fall behind the opponent too much in terms of attributes.

"boss!"

   A familiar voice came, and Muyou turned his head to see that Xiaoya walked into the pet shop holding a cup of milk tea.

   "Boss, did something happen in the community? I saw a lot of policemen outside!" Xiaoya rented a house in the next-door community, only ten minutes away from the pet shop.

   "It's nothing... By the way, it's best not to go out at night these days, there may be criminals around here." Mu You relayed the police officer's words to her.

   "Oh..." Xiaoya nodded in a daze.

   "Also, I have some things to do today, and I may not have time to help. You can take care of the store." Mu You said.

"Oh fine…"

  Xiaoya looked at Mu You's serious face in a strange way, always feeling that he had something on his mind, but she didn't ask any more questions at this time, and nodded in agreement.

   On the other side, Mu You went straight back to the second floor and shut himself in the room.

  Take out your phone, "The Fool" starts!

   Entering the game, the first thing is to use up the little action power left yesterday.

  Mu You manipulated the characters and walked to the Iron Forge on the south side of the village entrance.

  【You come to Ironforge. The chimney on the top of the blacksmith's shop was emitting hot steam, and there was the sound of clanging iron from inside. 】

  【It seems that the dwarf blacksmith has started business today, do you want to enter immediately? 】

  Two options, yes and no.

  Mu You chose 'Yes'.

  【You entered Ironforge, the dwarf blacksmith warmly welcomed you and asked about your forging needs. 】

  【You showed 'Mithril' to the dwarf blacksmith. 】

["A piece of mithril." The dwarf blacksmith gave you a surprised look, as if he didn't expect you to get such a high-grade material: "Mithril is an excellent material for magic casting, suitable for most equipment, you can Choose to use it to create a piece of armor to protect your fragile body; or you can also create a weapon, as an adventurer, how can you do it unarmed? Or do you want to use it to create some accessories with special functions?"]

  Three options [Create armor], [Create weapon], [Create accessories].

   This option does not need to be entangled. Muyou urgently needs to fight monsters to gain experience to upgrade. The most needed thing is definitely a weapon, and it is best to use long-range shooting weapons such as bows, muskets, and hand crossbows.

  Long-range strikes can not only reduce the risk of injury, but also exert the spell effect of "one shot, one hit".

   Muyou clicks on 'Build Weapon'.

  …
