This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

"By the way, boss, what watch did you just say?" regained consciousness, Xiaoya asked.

"Oh, nothing, I was just joking..."

Mu You quickly calmed down, and put the pocket watch into his pocket calmly: "I don't think there will be any guests today, so you go back first, and I will clean up the rest later."

"Okay then, I'll get off work first. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Watching Xiaoya leave, the smile on Mu You's face gradually turned serious.

He retrieved today's surveillance video on the front desk computer.

The strange thing of turning back time appeared under his nose, he didn't have the mind to do anything else, now he had to confirm who put that USB flash drive.

Mu You pulled the video to fast-forward, but the whole morning, there was nothing on the desk at the front desk.

It wasn't until 4:15 in the afternoon that a USB flash drive suddenly appeared on the desktop out of thin air!

Yes, it just appeared out of thin air!

With no one around the front desk approaching, the table was empty one second ago, but in the next frame, a USB flash drive popped out of nowhere!

Mu You, who became more and more aware of what was wrong, tried to search for the name "The Fool", but all the searched things were irrelevant, and there was no record of this game on the Internet.

"Sure enough, there is a problem..."

Mu You frowned, and resolutely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to trace the source of the game. With this kind of supernatural game ability, if he doesn't want to be traced, it is estimated that his efforts will be useless.

Moreover, the game is now displayed as an internal beta version, indicating that it is very likely that it will be tested publicly in the future.

In other words, one day in the future, humans all over the world will be able to download this game...

Mu You didn't dare to think about it anymore. If it really develops to that day, then this game will definitely bring great changes to the world!

But now, he was just lucky enough to get in touch with this game before most people, so he should actively explore the content of the game and get as much information as possible before the game's public beta.

[Under the moonlight, you walked out of the thorns and stepped onto the path in the forest. 】

[The snow-wrapped leaves are trampled by the boots and make a mournful cry. A slight sound can startle the birds to sing. All of this reminds you that there are dangers in this forest. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous you become, and you'd better find a nearby village as soon as possible. 】

The options pop up, [Departure] and [Continue to stay].

Mu You chose 'Departure'.

【Guided by the moonlight, you set foot on the road. 】

[Three roads appear in front of you. 】

[The road on the left is covered with fireflies, and it looks like a dream under the moonlight. In a trance, you seem to see a fairy fairy with wings calling to you on the branch in front of you: 'Come here, adventurer, I can grant your wish. ’]

[On the road in the middle, there is a drunken strong man lying with an ax and a wine bottle in his hand, and wearing a striped prison uniform—he is probably a dangerous fugitive, you'd better stay away from him! 】

[The road on the right is desolate, no one can be seen, and the winding path extends into the depths of darkness. Although there is no obstacle, your intuition reminds you that there may be more deadly dangers hidden in the darkness. 】

[So, Fool, which way are you going to go? 】

Mu You looked at the three options below, left, right, and center.

First rule out!

From the description of the fugitive on the middle road, it seems that a fierce battle is inevitable at first glance.

The description of the road on the left should imply that there is a fairy in front of him who can fulfill his wishes.

Mu You was actually very skeptical about the option of such unlucky luck at the beginning, it was more like a trap.

But who allowed him to go back in time, and he would not lose money if he tried it.

His pocket watch can be traced back to five seconds ago, and then the cooldown time is also five seconds, just forming a closed loop. That is to say, as long as the text of the current option pops up for no more than five seconds, he can loop infinitely in this option and try all the results of all options.

Mu You chose [Left].

[Brave adventurer, you chose to respond to the fairy's call and set foot on the road to the left. 】

【You step on the snow covered with fluorescent lights full of expectation, and walk towards the graceful figure sitting on the branch. 】

[But after getting closer, you realize that the figure is not an elf fairy, but an upside-down nightmare bat! Nightmare bats like nothing more than to create hallucinations at night, attract passers-by, and then suck their brains. 】

【You realize it's a trap and want to run away, but it's too late, the nightmare bats are flying towards you. 】

【You were bitten to death by a nightmare bat! 】

【You are dead! Lifespan -1, remaining lifespan is 57 years. 】

Gan, I knew it wasn't going so well!

Mu You cursed secretly, but the first thing he noticed was the last reminder: 57 years of remaining lifespan!

The lifespan here, shouldn't it be the real lifespan...

If it was any other game, Mu You would never have such unreasonable associations, but he is not surprised by what happened to this weird game in front of him.

So he has 57 years left to live?

And if this guess is true, that is to say, every time he dies in this game, he will permanently lose one year of life...

Really, krypton life game!

He said why this game is so generous, he was given a heaven-defying magic pocket watch at the beginning, and it turned out that the price was to kill him!

Mu You took a breath, and these thoughts floated through his mind in a flash. Seeing that the time was going to exceed five seconds, he hurriedly pressed the switch of his pocket watch.

Everything around him flowed backwards again, instantly returning to the state it was five seconds ago.

And the options in the game also returned to the fork in the road just now.

However, the game seems to be able to sense that the pocket watch has reversed the time, and the text did not change back directly, but quietly changed.

[Lucky Fool, your relic saved your life and prevented your death. 】

[Go back in time, you have returned to the intersection just now, please make your choice again. 】

There are still left, center and right options below.

Knowing that there are bats on the left, of course Mu You will not send them off again. This time he chose to go to the right.

[You chose to embark on this desolate path on the right. 】

[There is no obstacle ahead, and it seems that the road is smooth. 】

[Suddenly a black-spotted spider popped out from the side of the road, and its sticky webs rushed towards you, making you unable to move. 】

[You were bitten to death by a black-spotted spider! 】

【You are dead! Lifespan -1, remaining lifespan is 57 years. 】

Damn, guess wrong again?

Mu You was dumbfounded.

The correct answer is actually the fugitive in the middle?

...Or, even fugitives are wrong, there is actually no correct answer to this option, and anyone who chooses will die?

No matter, let’s go back and talk about it first!

[Turning back time, you have once again returned to the familiar three-way intersection. 】

【Consecutive death setbacks have not broken you, so, fool, which way are you going to go this time? 】

Mu You nervously clicked 'Center'.

【You choose to walk towards the fugitive in the middle, and ask him for help from a distance, hoping that he can take you back to the village. But in the eyes of the jittery fugitive, anyone approaching at this time will only make him more emotional. He raised the ax and looked into your eyes, murderous intent surged...]

As soon as this text appeared, Mu You felt that something was wrong: I'm afraid he will suffer again!

Fortunately, it's not over yet.

【It's a pity that this fugitive is a coward, and he didn't dare to make a real move in the end. Seeing you approaching, he fled the scene in a panic. You, survived. 】

"Damn, what do you mean 'it's a pity'? You're disappointed that I survived, right?"

Mu You cursed secretly, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the copywriting of this game is a bit stinky, it seems to be a bit of a lower limit, and there is no real option for him to die.

In other words, this opening option is really too confusing, that is, he can go back in time to avoid losses.

Thinking of this, Mu You couldn't help being more satisfied with the 'Time Pocket Watch' he got randomly: It seems that he got a random relic that was quite heaven-defying!

This kind of text adventure game originally allows players to make choices one by one in the text, and each choice will bring different results.

And being able to rewind infinitely means that he can guarantee to make the best choice for any option he encounters in the game!

Is there anything more suitable for this game than this ability?
