This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1572 - 675 The Mechanic’s Ending_3

["Mu Luo sent you? Does that mean he’s still alive?" The old man suddenly turned to you and asked.]

["Yes, Mu Luo is alive and doing well, just trapped outside..." You hurriedly conveyed Mu Luo’s situation to the old man.]

["Alive, it’s good that he’s alive..." The old man let out a long sigh after hearing this, a weight lifted from his heart.]

[After relaxing for a moment, the old man gave an apologetic smile, invited you inside to sit down, and poured you a cup of green juice.]

["Thank you for going through so much trouble for him, child. People from the outside often feel uneasy when they enter Jie Lin. This is my family’s ancestral Forbidden Wood potion; drinking it should make you feel better," the old man said with a smile.]

[You took the potion and drank it, the bitter taste, like medicine, filled your mouth instantly, but the bitterness quickly faded, leaving only a refreshing aroma.]

[You suddenly felt your mind become sharp, your senses clearer. During the potion’s effect, your game latency temporarily reduced to 10-15 seconds.]

Mu You was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect there to be a potion that could reduce game latency.

[As you savored the potion, the old man beside you watched you with a smile and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, a long time ago, when I was just a child, there was also someone like you who came to Jie Lin, and my grandmother received him in the same way."]

Hmm?

Mu You was stunned, someone like him? Had another Fool been to Jie Lin?

Impossible, the old man mentioned it happened when she was a child, which must have been thousands, or even tens of thousands of years ago. Whether Fools existed back then is uncertain...

Mu You quickly realized that "like him" didn’t refer to his physical shape, but to the armored attire, a person in a Mecha like him, a Mechanic?

[You hurriedly asked Scythia what happened to that person.]

["Back then, that guy barged into Jie Lin suddenly, but was not welcomed by the tribe and was loathed and driven away by everyone, forced to wander and hide in the tribe. Only my grandmother pitied him and took him in."]

["This person wasn’t actually bad, but his mind wasn’t stable. After staying at my house for some time, one day he suddenly went crazy, said he had to see the Clan Leader because he found what he was looking for, inside Moon Lake, and he had to go in and get it."]

["Of course, the Clan Leader wouldn’t agree. Moon Lake is a sacred place for our tribe; there’s no way outsiders could approach it. They chased him out like a madman with sticks... After that, it’s like he calmed down, became quiet and reserved, and seldom interacted with us, so the tribespeople slowly forgot him... until later, one year during the Moon Festival ceremony, on the night when the full moon rose, while everyone was busy worshipping at Moon Lake, he suddenly rushed out from a corner and jumped into Moon Lake..."]

Mu You’s expression turned peculiar, a Mechanic jumped into Moon Lake?

[Seeing the old man merely sigh with lament, no longer speaking, you hurriedly asked about what happened afterward.]

["Afterwards? Of course, he died. Jumping into Moon Lake, his body was corroded to nothing, and he never returned."]

Mu You was silent, the Mechanic, he really died like that...

He truly hadn’t imagined before arriving that the Mechanic didn’t die of unnatural causes, nor was killed by some creature in Jie Lin, but committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

The question is, why did he jump into Moon Lake?

What on earth was in the lake that was worth risking his life for...
