Chapter 1190: Chapter 536: Little Naughty Boy, Dares to Show Off in Front of an Expert_3

[You instinctively sweep your gaze around, but there’s clearly no one there. Yet, those words are like the low whispers of ghost spirits, incessantly muttering by your ear.]

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback and immediately remembered the email he received last night.

"So this is the punishment?"

Mu You’s face showed a bizarre expression. If what the Admin called a punishment was just setting up a loop of repetitions, it was quite childish.

Mu You simply ignored the voice and continued hunting.

However, he soon discovered that things were not so simple.

[You have gained a layer of ’Madness’...]

[Your ’Madness’ has stacked to five layers!]

[Your sanity has greatly diminished! Suddenly, you notice that the lines and sceneries around you have started to twist, and in the distance, you vaguely see Jack’s apparition. He is slightly bowing his head, staring at you with a smirk.]

[At the same time, the whispering in your ears suddenly increases exponentially, as if over a dozen people are surrounding you, bombarding your ears from all directions: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, dull boy, dull boy, dull boy..."]

[The strange sounds and visuals are frustrating and irritating. You can’t help but charge forward in a rage, cleaving with your axe.]

[Jack’s apparition disappears quietly, but after a few seconds, he reappears more than ten meters away, still maintaining that smirk as he stares at you...]

Mu You slightly frowns.

The loop machine had increased tenfold, but he didn’t care about that. What concerned him was that the Game Character had begun to be affected, starting to attack proactively without his commands.

"So the more layers of madness, the more severe the effects?" Mu You pondered.

The current situation was a bit troublesome, but it had yet to affect his combat.

Mu You continued hunting. He was curious to see just how far this Admin’s ’punishment’ could go.

[Your ’Madness’ has stacked to seven layers!]

[You have lost a substantial amount of sanity! From now on, there will be a certain chance that your commands will not be accurately transmitted...]

As expected, at seven layers, the interference intensified. This time it directly began affecting his connection with the Game Character. That meant the options he clicked might not be received by the Game Character, or they might even receive the wrong options. For example, he chose option 1, but the Game Character executed option 2.

This kind of interference was quite serious. A wrong choice at a critical moment could be deadly.

Fortunately, Mu You had the Pocket Watch, which could reduce the impact of this probability to a minimum.

Mu You gripped the Pocket Watch throughout and persisted in the game.

[Your ’Madness’ has stacked to ten layers!]

[You have entered a state of ’complete loss of sanity’!]

[It seems that the sound of a mysterious Octave Box has started playing in your ears.]

[As you launch an attack, Jack’s ghost takes advantage of your distraction and launches a sneak attack from behind...]

[You are struck by Jack, and your movement is severely distorted, your HP decreases by 10 points! You turn around in anger to counterattack, but Jack laughs and drifts away to escape, waiting for the next opportunity to launch a sneak attack...]

At the tenth layer, the highest level of punishment, the ghost spirits had actually materialized!

However, Mu You didn’t have time to worry about the in-game punishment right now because an eerie melody had suddenly started playing from his phone.

It was like the sound of a multitude of ghost spirits scratching at the walls mindlessly, coupled with occasional wails and screams. Completely devoid of melody, it was grating to the ears and instinctively induced a chilling feeling.

As the music started playing, both of his clones in the room looked over in unison.

Even the little girl sleeping upstairs came out with a pale face, looked at him pitifully, and shivered with her arms wrapped around herself: "Mu You, what music are you playing? It’s so creepy, please stop it..."

All three of them could hear it, indicating that the music was indeed coming directly from his phone.

Mu You frowned and turned his phone’s volume down to zero.

The strange sound continued to play, unabated in volume.

This made Mu You even more astonished. He quickly checked the background applications and found that only the Fool’s game was running on his phone.

"The Fool’s game has a sound function built-in?" It was the first time Mu You had heard of this.

What puzzled him more was that the Admin could control the Fool’s game to remotely play sounds? Did that person have such extensive permissions?

As Mu You was bewildered, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw the Watchman standing behind him.

"Hold on, I’m trying to turn it off..." Mu You thought he was there to urge him to mute the sound.

But the Watchman shook his head: "No, it’s not that, Little Eight is looking for you..."

"Little Eight? Gusha?" Mu You was startled.

"Yes, it says the sound is very aggravating to it... Better let it speak to you itself."

The Watchman said this and placed his hand on Mu You’s head.

Mu You suddenly heard a chaotic voice in his mind.

"Kid, who’s making that noise?"

"What about it?"

"That sound contains a certain ’fear’ rule. It’s one of my most commonly used tactics, but the other party has not even grasped the essence. So, I want to know, who is showing off?"

Mu You found it odd that Gusha would initiate a conversation over a sound, but as they had him under tight imprisonment, he wasn’t worried about it causing trouble, so he truthfully told it about the situation in the game.

After listening, Gusha suddenly sneered, "Interesting. You should know that I am the progenitor of ’fear.’ Little Naughty Boy, daring to show off before me... It seems I need to teach it a lesson..."

Gusha began to mutter to itself in Mu You’s mind.

Mu You looked at the Watchman with a strange expression, "Which version of Fahai did you show it?"
