This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic

  Chapter 34 Young man, do you want to learn black magic?

   Mu You tried to get the character to push the door open.

  【You want to push the door in, but unfortunately the door of the Witch House is sealed by a magic lock, and you can't open even a single crack even with all your strength. 】

   "Sure enough, there is a magic lock!"

  Mu You was not surprised by this, he opened the panel and clicked on 'Open Lock Heart Hole'.

  【You want to use the unlocking spell to forcibly unlock the gate of the witch's house, but because the witch's spell level is extremely high, the probability of successful unlocking is only one in 100,000. Are you sure you want to try? 】

   "Hiss, one in a hundred thousand..."

  The corners of Mu You's eyes twitched.

   As expected of the lock set by the witch, the high-level unlocking spell has only a 1/100,000 probability of being released. From this, we can see how powerful this witch is!

"confirm."

   Click OK. If someone else came here, he would definitely give up. The probability of one in a hundred thousand is no different from zero.

   But he has a pocket watch, so he can still struggle.

  【You used the Unlocking Curse, but unfortunately the door didn’t change, and the unlocking failed! 】

   "Backtrack!"

  【You used the Unlocking Curse, but unfortunately the door has not changed, and the unlocking failed! 】

   "Again!"

  【You used the Unlocking Curse, but unfortunately the door has not changed, and the unlocking failed! 】

  …

   Next, Mu You started an infinite journey of backtracking and unlocking.

   There is no consumption of pressing the pocket watch, and after going back in time, the used magic power will be restored, and even the time will always stay within the range of five seconds, so there is no need to worry about the passage of time and the exhaustion of magic power.

  Theoretically, probabilistic things are meaningless in front of the surface of time, no matter how low the probability number is, as long as it is not zero, it can be changed to 100% through unlimited attempts!

  —Of course, the premise is that he has enough patience and willpower.

  Mu You soon discovered that he somewhat underestimated the concept of the order of one hundred thousandth.

  Time pocket watch can indeed recall many things, but there is only one thing that cannot be returned, and that is his memory. After tens of thousands of repeated labors, the intensity of mental destruction is unparalleled!

  In the first few hundred or even thousands of backtracking times, Mu You's brain can still operate relatively clearly.

   But when the number of times increased rapidly and reached tens of thousands, his consciousness gradually became chaotic. In the infinite mechanical repetitive movement, the human brain can easily enter a state of emptying.

   Mu You can't remember how many times he went back, tens of thousands of times? Hundreds of thousands of times? In short, he kept pressing the pocket watch, and then mechanically clicked 'OK' on the phone.

   The two simple actions, repeated countless times, made his brain almost turn into a paste...

   Just when Mu You unlocked the lock and was about to collapse, the picture that had always remained the same finally showed some slight changes for the first time.

  【You used the lock-unlocking spell, the door suddenly popped open, and the lock was successfully unlocked! 】

"Well…"

  Mu You's finger had already stopped on the button of the pocket watch, and he was almost about to press it.

   Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to stop the movement in time, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

  After reading it several times and confirming that it was a real success, not just a hallucination, Mu You burst into tears. After hundreds of thousands of attempts, it can be considered a success!

   But the success of this thing is a success, but it is also too disgusting. Mu You vowed that in the future, unless necessary, he would never engage in this kind of mental pollution operation again!

  Taking a few deep breaths, and pouring another large glass of cold water, Mu You recovered, hurriedly returned to the game, and controlled the character to enter the room.

  Now even if the witch is sleeping at home and angrily smashes him to ashes when he finds someone intruding, he has to go in and look around, otherwise he is really sorry for the mental torture he has suffered!

  【You push open the door and walk into the witch's house, only to find that the building is empty and lifeless. The ground and all the desktops are covered with a thick layer of dust, the walls are yellow and black, and the books on the decaying bookshelves are all torn and tattered by insects, and there is no good one. The books, the ceiling, and all the corners of the walls are also covered with thick cobwebs—all signs indicate that no one has lived here for a long time! 】

"Well…"

   Mu You was taken aback, how long has this witch been away from home?

   It will take at least several years for the books on the bookshelf to be eaten up by bugs, right?

  He originally thought that the witch just went out occasionally, and would come back soon, and if she went on a trip for a few months, she should come back and have a look.

   Turns out that's not the case at all now.

   Not going home for several years, this witch either died outside, or has already settled down elsewhere...

   "However, the game didn't prompt to inherit the unclaimed inheritance, so it shouldn't be dead yet?" Mu You thought, and then manipulated the character to conduct a 'search'.

  【You searched the building and found five intact bottles of poison in the pharmacy! 】

  【Witch Poison: A highly poisonous potion specially developed by witches to deal with werewolves. The smell of the potion is fatal to werewolves. After taking it, the life span is -5, and the life span of werewolves is -10. 】

   "Poison!"

  Looking at the latest prompts that popped up in the game, Mu You's eyes lit up.

   He found the poison he needed the most in no time, and there were still five bottles in a row, so he didn't have to come here in vain!

   Mu You hurriedly clicked on 'Search' again, hoping to find some other treasures.

  【You searched the building, but unfortunately all the items have rotted and deteriorated, and nothing usable was found. 】

  【Jack-o-lantern effects, trigger! 】

  【Under the cyan glow of the pumpkin lantern, you found some strange traces in the basement of the Witch House. 】

  【In the corner of the basement that should be empty, under the illumination of the light, the outline of a transparent cloak is faintly revealed. 】

  【You stepped forward and lifted the cloak to see that it was an invisibility cloak! And under the cloak, there is also a well-preserved book hidden! 】

  【You have obtained an 'Invisibility Cloak' and a 'Anthony Vivienne's Black Magic Research Journal'. 】

"oh?"

   At first Mu You didn't give up hope when he saw the first sentence, but he didn't expect that the jack-o-lantern, which had been silent for the past two days, suddenly gave him a big gift at this time!

   Invisibility cloak, needless to say, anyone who understands its function understands it.

   As for the second...

   "Anthony Vivienne, this should be the name of this witch... But, black magic research? Doesn't black magic generally represent evil? This is still a black witch who studies black magic?"

  Mu You's expression became strange.

  Of course, this is not a problem for him, no matter it is black magic or white magic, as long as it can make him stronger, he will not refuse anyone!

  Mu You couldn't wait to click on 'Research Log'.

  A three-inch-thick hardcover book box appeared in his hands, and on the cover were the words 'Black Magic Research Journal' engraved in Protoss language.

   "Such a thick book... how much magic should be recorded here!"

   Mu You swallowed, feeling as if he had discovered the dragon's treasure.

   Taking a deep breath, he opened the lid of the book box with excitement.

result…

empty!

  It was actually empty inside!

  Looking at the empty box, Mu You was dumbfounded for half a minute before he came back to his senses: "What's the situation?"

  Bai made him excited, but it turned out to be an empty box, and he deliberately hid it with an invisibility cloak, just to make people feel different, right?

   Mu You had the urge to set the box on fire on the spot.

   Fortunately, he had sharp eyes. After picking up the box, he quickly noticed that there was still a small word of astrological language engraved on the bottom of the box.

   hurriedly fetched the protoss dictionary and translated it.

  【Want to learn black magic? go find it! In the Black Forest, a hundred miles away from Anning Village, go straight to the north, and there is a cabin deep in the forest, where I buried everything! 】
