Chapter 1104: Chapter 504: Things Remain the Same, but People Change

After his consciousness returned from the Karma Lines, Mu You first went to check on Fuya’s situation.

As expected, when he was kicked out of the game, Fuya’s Game Character was also forcibly sent back to the Star Spirit World.

Now the Bitter Garden was utterly without their eyes and ears.

Afterward, Mu You wasted no time, went straight to Lin Xue and the others to explain the situation, found a safe location in the manor, and opened the ’door’.

Without the Game Character, he had to go to the Star Spirit World himself.

Half an hour later, in the manor’s basement, Mu You and Fuya were fully equipped and ready to go.

Mu You had originally planned to go alone, but upon hearing his explanation, Fuya immediately expressed her desire to accompany him, her reason being that she was also one of the parties involved.

Mu You thought it over and did not refuse. Fuya had stayed there for five days and was more familiar with the intelligence of that place, so taking her along was not a bad idea.

Beyond Fuya, Mu You also took the Bone Dragon and Scorplion. After all, with the threat of Gusha over there, it was uncertain if they would engage in combat, but if a fight did break out, the two could be of great help.

"Do you need me to come with you?" Lin Xue asked.

"No need, you guys just go level up freely behind the door," Mu You shook his head.

Now the housing system in Dawn City had gone online, and resting in a house could greatly accelerate the recovery of attributes. After a few days of rest, Lin Xue’s burnt attributes had long been fully restored.

However, having more people in the Bitter Forest was not necessarily better. Mu You was not sure whether his trip to the Bitter Forest this time would send him back to the past again.

Previously, losing only the Game Character had not been too impactful, but if this time he himself was sent to the past, then Dawn City would be without its City Lord. Under such circumstances, Lin Xue, as the Deputy City Lord, definitely could not leave; otherwise, if both of them were trapped in the past, Dawn City would be in great chaos!

After confirming that everything was ready, Mu You and Fuya said goodbye to everyone and stepped into the ’door’ first.

It was only eight o’clock in the morning, and Mu You directly Teleported with Fuya to the academy, leaving the dormitory, and both of them made their way to the Bitter Forest with practiced ease.

Mu You had actually never been to the forest himself; previously, it had been his Game Character exploring. Fortunately, Fuya was leading the way.

The Bitter Forest was quite desolate in this season. Along the way, the two didn’t see a single student but encountered quite a few monsters, which allowed Mu You to collect some Bitter Pollen.

After weaving through the woods for about half an hour, the two finally found Gege Wu’s house.

In a corner deep in the forest, three round-roofed houses were situated in a pin formation above a stream.

When the game described Gege Wu’s house before, they didn’t feel much, but after having been through the Bitter Garden journey and looking back at these three houses, they appeared to be carved out of the same mold as the flower bud houses where the Fairies in the game lived.

When the two arrived, Gege Wu was sitting at a stone table in front of the Ancient Clock, hunched over, holding an old diary, staring blankly at the yellowed and hardly readable handwriting on the cover.

"Gege Wu?"

Not until she heard Fuya’s voice did Gege Wu come back to her sense, hurriedly hiding the diary behind her, then looked up at the two.

"It’s you... Why have you come again..." Gege Wu looked at them with impatience, then glanced at their travel gear and guessed something, frowning, "Don’t tell me you want to enter the Bitter Forest again? I’ve already said that each person only gets one chance, five days’ time, whether you’ve finished your business or not, there’s no opportunity to..."

Before Gege Wu could finish, Mu You took a step forward and called out Gege Wu’s full name, "Gratrix Gesaberbelle."

"Ah..."

Upon hearing this, Gege Wu was stunned for several seconds, disbelievingly looked up, her eyes wide as she stared at Mu You, "You, how do you know... that name..."

That name, she had never revealed in this era. Since returning to the Star Spirit World, more than three thousand years had passed without anyone calling her by her real name, to the extent that she herself had almost forgotten it.

"Gege Wu, don’t you recognize me?" Mu You reached up and took off the mask of Mysterious Human Skin.

He had used the Mysterious Man’s skin in the Bitter Garden too, only then he wasn’t wearing the mask so she hadn’t recognized him. Now with the mask off, his face immediately changed to the one she was familiar with.

"Ah! You, you’re... the man called ’Original Body’?!"

Gege Wu covered her mouth, shocked as she looked at Mu You, unable to help trembling all over, as those nearly forgotten memories resurfaced.

Mu You smiled wryly, guessing that Gege Wu must have heard the three avatars continually calling him ’Original Body’ and thought that was his name.

"Yes, it’s me," Mu You nodded.

"But, weren’t you in the Dark Cavern, have you... how could this be?" Gege Wu cried, looking at Mu You now in such a way that seemed ashamed and lowered her head.

She couldn’t understand how someone who had fallen into petrification in the Dark Cavern years ago could suddenly appear before her and, similarly, despite four thousand years having passed, his appearance was still as young as before, whereas she had grown old.

"It’s a long story, just open the gate, I’m taking you to see your teacher," Mu You shook his head.

He didn’t intend to explain anything to Gege Wu. It was obviously the Medicinal Plant Gatherer avatar who had tricked her here, so it was better to let the avatar explain when they met.
