MTL - This Text Adventure Game is Absolutely Toxic-Chapter 11 Candles are lit with green lights, and people are called out in the middle of the night

  Chapter 11 Dark Candles Light Green Lanterns, Calling Watchers in the Middle of the Night

   Mu You hurriedly clicked on the text to check the harvest.

  【Pumpkin's jack-o-lantern: A lamp used for lighting when the watchman patrols at night. When lit, it can reflect some things that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Event trigger rate increased by 30%, effective only at night. 】

   "A lantern?"

   Mu You was taken aback, and clicked on the text of the pumpkin lantern.

  The next moment, a strangely shaped pumpkin lantern appeared in his hand.

  On the golden yellow pumpkin head, a grimace image was carved, and the inside of the pumpkin was hollowed out, and a transparent bottle was placed in the middle. The bottle was filled with some powder-like floating particles, emitting a little bit of fluorescence.

  And on the rope at the top of the pumpkin, there is also a two-foot-long wooden stick connected, one end is connected to a jack-o-lantern, and the other end is held by Mu You in his hand.

   "Can reflect 'things invisible to the naked eye'... What does that mean? A ghost? A ghost?"

   Mu You frowned and looked at this sentence in the text.

  After thinking for a while, he lifted the jack-o-lantern, and tested it by shining light on the surrounding ground.

  The result is naturally no exception.

  Under the strong light of the day, the fluorescence emitted by the jack-o-lantern is covered up to the point of being undetectable.

   What's more, the game description also specifically mentioned that the effect of the jack-o-lantern is "only effective at night."

   "It seems that we can only try again at night."

   Mu You shook his head, clicked on the text of 'Pumpkin Lantern' again, brought the pumpkin lantern back into the game, and then looked at the next item in the game.

  【Dengeng backpack: A backpack that has been released with a space spell, and there is a different world space with a length, width and height of 100 meters sealed inside (it can be integrated with similar space items to expand the scope of the internal space). The exterior can be transformed into any backpack style, and the interior can also be switched to another world space or normal backpack mode at any time. 】

   "Isn't this just a storage bag!"

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment. Having experienced a lot of movies and novels, he naturally understood how important a storage item is in the exploration of another world.

   Hastily clicked on the text of the backpack.

  A small bag made of black cloth with a drawstring top appeared in Mu You's hand.

   It's just that this backpack is only the size of a palm. It's more like a cloth bag than a backpack.

  But when Mu You opened his mouth and looked in, he was stunned.

   This pocket is indeed connected to an entrance to another world!

  Looking down, there is a faint light, and the bottom seems to be the interior of a wooden shed. Along the bag opening, a ladder has been set up for easy access.

   It's a pity that the mouth of the bag is too small, Mu You's limit is already enough to stretch one arm in.

   "It's said in the text that this backpack seems to be able to transform freely... How can it be changed?"

   Mu You looked at the pocket in his hand, thought for a while, laid it flat on the ground, and then tried to imagine the appearance of a suitcase in his mind.

  With a soft pop, the palm-sized pocket actually turned into a large suitcase with rollers and a handle.

   Mu You opened the zipper of the box, and after opening it, the wooden shed in another world was still inside, and the gap that was as big as a palm before had now become a one-meter-square entrance, which must be more than enough to get in now.

  Mu You walked to the door, locked the door, drew the curtains, and then walked back to the box, followed the ladder connected below, and stepped into the box.

After coming down the stairs, Mu You turned his head to look, and what appeared in front of him was a small wooden house less than 30 square meters. In the house, there was a rough wooden bed covered with a thick layer of hay, and there was a bed not far away. Wooden workbench with various empty bottles and utensils.

   Other than that, the whole house looks like a long-abandoned studio.

   After looking around, Mu You finally walked to the door of the shed, opened the door and walked out.

   Dazzling light came. Outside the hut, there was actually a grass field comparable to a football field. The ground was covered with green grass, the air was fresh, and there was plenty of light.

   Mu You looked up, and in the four corners of the sky, traces of the edge of the box could be seen faintly.

   And directly above his head, there is a hazy ball of light floating, constantly emitting soft white light, it is it that acts as a light source, illuminating the entire space.

  Curiously, Mu You walked to the edge of the space, and tried to reach out and touch it.

   As a result, the front seemed to be cut off by an invisible wall, and the hand would be bounced back immediately when it approached.

  He tried in several other directions, but the result was still the same, all sides were blocked by invisible walls, and he couldn't take a step out of the space from any direction.

This scene reminded him of the movie "The Truman Show". No matter how you look at this place, it looks like an independent space forcibly separated from the real world. Of course, the size of this space is smaller than The Truman World Too much, it must be more than enough as a storage space, but it is almost impossible to live in it for a long time.

   "However, since this backpack can be opened both in the game and in reality, is it possible to go back and forth between the two worlds through this backpack?"

  When Mu You returned to the real room from the backpack entrance on the roof of the hut, this idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

  As soon as he thought of it, he immediately went to find an empty water glass and threw it into the small shed.

   Then he pulled up the box and tried to open the backpack in the game.

  A prompt pops up on the result screen: [Warning: The backpack contains unknown items and cannot be opened. 】

   "Sure enough..."

   Mu You smiled wryly. As long as there are things put in the backpack on the earth side, they cannot be opened in the game.

  It seems that it is not so easy to go through the 'wall' by tricks and go directly to the wizarding world on the opposite side.

   Fortunately, this limitation does not affect the actual use of the backpack.

  Anyway, Mu You in the game is currently in a poor state, and there is no need for this backpack to hold things in a short time, so this backpack can be used in reality.

   Putting away the backpack, Mu You looked at the last prop.

  【Wrapper's skin: Mingzhu lights up the green lamp, and hits people in the middle of the night! After loading, the game character will be replaced with 'Watchman'. ps: Wearing skins can make The Fool's game characters have a corresponding appearance and identity, and can be realized in reality. The skins you already own can be switched at any time, and the attributes and levels are inherited. 】

  【Watchman: The occupation of telling the time for village residents, and also undertakes part of the task of patrolling at night. Fixed task: From 0:00 to 4:00 am every day, go out on patrol for at least one hour, you can get a year of life, the limit of this task is once a day! 】

"Task!?"

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

  He said that this game should not only consume life, but cannot gain life.

  The original way to gain lifespan is to replace an aborigine in the game and complete their original work, and you can get lifespan as a reward!

  Yes, if lifespan is regarded as the currency of that world, then it is indeed logical and reasonable to complete work and get paid.
