This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1579 - 678: The Savage’s Interrogation Methods

When the Titans invaded Earth before, humanity also experienced a parasitic crisis.

Back then, Mu You managed to overcome the crisis by having all suspected hosts die once, and then reviving everyone with Miracle Divine Power.

But now? The Barbarians cannot be resurrected, so how can we ensure that the Barbarians aren’t wiped out while rooting out the infiltrators among them?

Even if we can identify those who are overt parasites, there’s bound to be many hidden spies in the background. As long as these parasites don’t act or reveal themselves, they will never be discovered.

Until one day, these spies strike at some critical moment, causing significant damage easily. There’s nothing more troublesome than having enemies hidden among your own people.

Mu You suddenly realized that it’s no longer a matter of convincing the Barbarians to unite, but whether they dare to collaborate with the Barbarians anymore...

The Barbarian Tribe, infiltrated by parasites, has unknowingly reached an irreversible state. The reason the parasites haven’t acted yet is likely because their proportion isn’t high enough, at least not exceeding 50%.

If Mu You had arrived any later, and the Barbarians continued to be subtly infiltrated until the parasites became the majority, even the deities couldn’t help.

Mu You shook his head and turned back to carefully observe the Forbidden Wood tablet from the past three hundred years, focusing on cases of those who had returned after disappearing.

It turned out that the shortest interval from when these people went missing to when they returned was only half a month!

In other words, the Divine Devouring Beast can parasitize a Barbarian in as little as half a month.

So, every Barbarian who left the tribe for more than half a month in the past three hundred years should be regarded as a suspected parasite.

However, the Barbarians are a very loose organization. Who would be bored enough to monitor someone else’s situation long-term? Even close friends not seeing each other for more than half a month is quite normal.

Moreover, most Barbarians have a problem with forgetfulness. How many people can remember the last time they met someone else? In the vast group of Barbarians, this kind of thing is simply unmonitorable.

Even Mu Luo’s mother couldn’t completely rule out the suspicion of being a parasite.

However, there were two people Mu You believed could be trusted for the time being.

One is the Clan Leader of the Barbarian Tribe.

This is easy to understand. If the highest authority in the Barbarian Tribe had already been parasitized, the Divine Devouring Beast wouldn’t need to act so cautiously but could rapidly annex the entire tribe.

Therefore, the Clan Leader should be trustworthy.

Besides, there’s one more person who can be ruled out, and that’s the God Archer Skywolf encountered earlier.

This leader of the first squad committed a major mistake and has been imprisoned since a thousand years ago. Over these many years, he has never left the prison.

The prison’s existence has become ironclad proof of Skywolf’s harmlessness.

However, one of the two who previously attacked Mu You was the prison guard responsible for Skywolf.

This is also understandable, mainly because Skywolf is too strong and has lifelong imprisonment as protection, making it almost impossible for him to leave the Barbarian Tribe or get parasitized.

Such a powerful, intelligent Barbarian, who remained suspicious of the past Wasteland Crow events, is seen as a very dangerous person from the perspective of the Divine Devouring Beast.

Yet, he can’t be killed, nor parasitized, so the best approach is naturally to guard him, preventing contact with outsiders, cutting off his ties with the tribe, and trapping him in the prison.

Unfortunately, the Divine Devouring Beast didn’t expect the variable of Mu You, who unexpectedly broke into Jie Lin, got discovered by Skywolf, and had the chance to communicate with him. Skywolf even entrusted him with investigating the past events.

This was probably why the prison guard was eager to kill him: once he finds out the truth and reports it back to Skywolf, Skywolf might rise up in anger. With Skywolf’s strength and reputation, it could hugely disrupt the current plans of the Divine Devouring Beast.

Thinking of this, Mu You also became clear on how to proceed next.

The more the enemy fears something, the more he needs to make it a reality!

He is weak and an outsider, so even if he knows the truth, it’s tough to affect the situation of the Barbarian Tribe, but Skywolf can.

Therefore, the first step is to gain Skywolf’s trust and support.

Clearing his thoughts, Mu You then vanished into the wind and floated toward Skywolf’s prison.

Skywolf’s prison is on the edge of the sixth level. As Mu You approached, he didn’t reveal himself directly but hovered in the forest thousands of meters away.

After all, one of the guards has already been confirmed as an insider, and appearing directly would expose himself, and the opponent is unlikely to give him another chance to get close to Skywolf.

Mu You believed that with Skywolf’s strength, he should easily sense his presence, and seeing that he came but dared not to approach, should understand his intention.

Sure enough, after wandering around for a moment, Mu You saw that the two prison guards seemed to have received some instruction from Skywolf and left the vicinity, heading far away.

Once confirming that the two were driven away, Mu You hurriedly approached, using his wind-riding ability to climb to the top of the Forbidden Wood tree and sneaked into the prison above.
