Chapter 1042: Chapter 483 Cheater Tool_2

[Do you ring the bell?]

"Yes."

Mu You didn’t even think before confirming his choice. The bell was placed at the entrance, serving as a ’doorbell’, seemingly prepared for visitors to ring and alert the owner of someone’s arrival.

[You grasped the rope of the iron clapper, ready to strike the bell, when Fuya hastily rushed over to stop you.]

"Stop, stop, you can’t ring this bell!" Fuya urgently sent a message.

"Why?"

"Gege Wu hates it when people touch her things without permission!"

"Last Valentine’s Day, a female student, out of curiosity, rang Gege Wu’s bell while she wasn’t home. As a result, Gege Wu bore a grudge against her. For a month afterwards, Gege Wu appeared every midnight outside the girl’s home, not doing anything but staring at her window with her hair down, smiling at her, until she was so frightened that she transferred schools!" Fuya sent another long message.

At that time, the incident caused quite a stir, scaring many students, especially those who had gossiped about Gege Wu behind her back. From then on, they dared not casually discuss her, fearing this mad old witch might take notice of them.

The academy also issued several notices, warning the students not to provoke Gege Wu in the Forbidden Forest. After that, no one dared to ring the bell again.

Fuya herself hadn’t experienced this, but she could fully imagine the despair of the girl when she dropped out. Anyone would break down if a lunatic stalked them for a month, doing nothing but grinning at them.

Fuya definitely didn’t want to experience the same thing, so she hurried to stop Mu You.

"Why do you care? You’re on Earth," Mu You retorted.

Fuya was taken aback. Yes, her real body was on Earth; it was only her game character here in the forest. Even if Gege Wu scared her character, it wouldn’t affect her real self through the screen, would it?

"Then... go ahead and ring it." Thinking of her safety on Earth, Fuya regained her confidence and no longer hindered Mu You. Besides, she was quite curious about what this legendary ’oldest of the human race’ might look like.

["Dong! Dong! Dong..." You rang the ancient bell. The deafening sound echoed through the forest, startling a flock of crows from the tops of withered trees, and they flew away in alarm.]

[The bell’s sound continued to drift through the woods until, several minutes later, you suddenly saw a group of crows flying overhead. They circled neatly above the ancient bell a few times before all at once diving toward the ground.]

["Caw, caw, caw..." Amidst the clamor, hundreds of crows landed before you and converged into the shape of a person. Following a burst of black smoke, an old man appeared before you, his head adorned with a conical wizard hat and his body draped in a tattered robe.]

[The old witch was white-haired and gaunt, her aged face covered with wrinkles; her left leg and right arm were gone, replaced by wooden limbs. She walked with a lurching gait.]

[After the old witch appeared, her cold gaze turned toward you and Fuya, and she suddenly bared her teeth, emitting a strange ’cackle’ at you.]

["...It has been a long time since anyone dared to disturb my peaceful slumber... very well, I have remembered both your faces. In the upcoming nights, make sure not to sleep too deeply; I will certainly give you an unforgettable summer, hehehe..." The eerie laughter of the old witch reverberated through the nearby woods, making the hairs on your skin stand on end.]

"This person..."

Fuya frowned as she watched. Despite being mentally prepared, the text still gave her the creeps.

Mu You, on the other hand, was indifferent. To Earthlings, who were used to being bombarded by horror movies, this level of thrill was child’s play, not even as exciting as casually walking through a haunted house.

As soon as the old witch appeared, Mu You immediately clicked on her name.

[Gege Wu, a mysterious witch who has spent long years alone in the wilderness, has a superb mastery of Magic Potions Study. You might try to uncover her secrets.]

Four options popped up below.

[Ask about her past.]

[Ask about her treasure.]

[Ask about her teacher.]

[Ask about the Bitter Garden.]

Upon seeing the last option, Mu You instantly felt assured: This witch was indeed related to the Bitter Garden!

Mu You did not rush to reveal the Bitter Garden but started with the first option and clicked through them one by one.

[You ask about Gege Wu’s past.]

[Gege Wu looked at you disdainfully: "I am a great being who has lived through the epochal gap. My past is not something you young ones can pry into."]

"Lived through the epochal gap?" Mu You was startled. Did that mean she had survived from the previous epoch?

Mu You had guessed that this person might have existed in the Bitter Forest since the beginning of the epoch and lived to the present, but he hadn’t expected his guess to be conservative. She had actually traversed an epoch, meaning she had witnessed at least one Great Cataclysm!

But how could that be?

The Great Cataclysm would have destroyed all life in the Star Spirit World, even the Fools had to flee to the Forgotten Land to survive the disaster. How had she survived?

Mu You quickly had his character scan her again, but still, no hints of Divinity or any connection to the Fools appeared, indicating she was just an ordinary inhabitant of the Star Spirit World.

Now Mu You too was puzzled. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, there was nothing he could do. He decided to continue asking the other questions.
