One year ago,
Tens of thousands of virtual black towers suddenly appeared around the world. Major countries and organizations around the world immediately created research groups,
Studying these mysterious and strange black towers. The public panicked.
The black tower remained calm. For half a year,
It had been shrouding the earth in a virtual state.
Because they couldn't touch the black tower, researchers couldn't extract black tower related materials. Whether it was by optical or sound wave means,
They couldn't find evidence of the black tower's existence. It was like a holographic projection that humans could only see with their eyes.
They couldn't touch it or touch it.
There was no substance.
However, this didn't mean that humans didn't try and research during that six months.
"Most people on the Internet think that the black tower is an alien spaceship.
There is also a small number of people who think it is a conspiracy of a big country. First of all, we can abandon the latter possibility. "Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo.
The latter didn't refute it.
He obviously acquiesced to his statement. Tang Mo continued, "Then, only alien products are left."
The black tower was related to aliens.
This kind of argument was mainstream before the earth went online. However, no one could find reasonable evidence.
Tang Mo didn't say anything after saying this. He turned his eyes to Fu Wenduo.
In the silent gas station,
There was no sound. There was only the night wind hitting the glass, making the sound of the wind blowing against the window.
"The last player with this ability." This sentence contained too much information. It didn't just mean that there was a player who had this ability.
It wasn't clear what happened to the last player. Did he die or clear the black tower? Or did he do something special?
There was a long silence.
Fu Wensheng couldn't help opening his mouth.
He broke the silence. "If it is really related to aliens … what will happen?"
As he said this,
The child tried to calm himself down but he still couldn't help turning and looking through the window at the black tower suspended over Beijing in the distance. No matter how he looked, the tower stood there silently and wouldn't change.
"It's nothing."
A low male voice was heard and Fu Wensheng immediately turned to look at his brother.
Fu Wenduo looked calm and said lightly, "Whether the black tower is related to aliens or not, where it came from. The most important thing for us right now is to survive. Survive, attack the tower and clear the instance. That's the only way we can find more clues. After clearing the stage, we can understand its true purpose. "
Fu Wensheng's throat was dry and he looked at Tang Mo again. He thought that Tang Mo would say something else but didn't expect Tang Mo's lips to slowly curve. He walked to the window and also looked at the black tower. He said the same words as Fu Wenduo. "It really isn't good. If the black tower was really something aliens put on Earth, then Earth would become a game because of the black tower. All we can do is win the game and live well. "
It began to drizzle outside the window again. Fu Wensheng's lips moved, but she eventually closed her mouth.
Yes, with the information they currently had, even if they speculated that the black tower might be related to an alien civilization, it was just a speculation and couldn't be confirmed. The most important thing in front of them was to clear more games, the black tower and survive.
After rushing to Beijing for two days, she was indeed a little tired. Fu Wensheng lay on the ground and quickly fell asleep.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't sleep.
He told the child that the truth of the black tower wasn't important but Tang Mo frowned and thought about all the information he had. He vaguely felt that the truth of the black tower might not be as simple as aliens. If it was really aliens, then why did the other party put the black tower on Earth? What was in it for them?
If they wanted to attack Earth, they could directly kill humans. To be able to make something as mysterious as the black tower, the aliens definitely had the power to kill humans. Yet they didn't do it. Instead, they used the black tower and waited for humans to die from failing to clear the game.
"… It can't be like those movies where humans play games and kill each other. Is it interesting?" Tang Mo couldn't help complaining.
"Do you find it interesting?"
Tang Mo looked to the side.
Fu Wenduo pulled out a chair and sat next to him. The two of them sat in a small office in the gas station, separated by a door. Talking wouldn't disturb the child's sleep.
Tang Mo replied, "It isn't interesting. It is very boring."
Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow when he heard this answer.
Tang Mo didn't want to continue on this topic. They didn't know the truth of the black tower and everything was just speculation. He changed the topic. "However, there is good news when I checked your ability. Your Arcana rank is Level 7. " Tang Mo recalled. "Of the more than 20 abilities I collected, only your ability is level seven. The highest is level five."
A player's ability level should be able to be improved but once the ability was collected in the abilities book, it couldn't be upgraded. The highest level of ability Tang Mo currently collected was Bai Ruoyao's, Mortal's Death, level five.
"Have you seen that kind of movie?"
Tang Mo was stunned. After a moment, he said, "You mean, watching movies where humans play games and kill each other? I've seen a few. The most famous one is Saw. Haven't you seen it? "
"I've heard of it."
"That movie is about a very special villain who designed a lot of games …"
Time ticked by. Tang Mo didn't expect Fu Wenduo to have seen so few movies. He hadn't seen Saw or any other movies of the same genre. In fact, Tang Mo didn't watch this kind of movie. He preferred to read books.
Tang Mo patiently told Fu Wenduo about a few similar movies. In the end, Fu Wenduo said in a calm tone, "If that is the case, then the black tower is just a game put on Earth by aliens. According to the ending of those movies, humanity should be wiped out in the end. "
Tang Mo smiled when he heard this. 'She really knows how to apply what she learned. She even learned Hollywood movie routines so quickly?
"Major Fu, how many floors of the black tower have you cleared?"
Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo strangely. "Two floors."
Tang Mo nodded meaningfully. "It's like this. I saw that you have deduced the final ending of humanity and thought you had cleared the seventh floor. "
Fu Wenduo was silent for a moment before asking, "Is this the childish counterattack I said before?"
Tang Mo didn't think about this at all. He was stunned by the other person's unconstrained thinking and immediately recalled what happened in the small warehouse. It was better if he didn't think about it. Once he thought about it, he became embarrassed. Tang Mo coughed and turned away, no longer speaking.
Fu Wenduo seemed to be aware of his thoughts. His lips curved and he deliberately said, "I really like men."
"Cough cough cough …" Tang Mo almost choked on his own saliva. He turned to look at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo was very calm and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words. His dark eyes stared at Tang Mo. "If the person you like is a man then you are gay … then it seems that I am." His eyes were very sincere and he was obviously telling the truth.
Seeing his indifferent and sincere appearance, Tang Mo was startled at first but his heart gradually calmed down. He looked at the man in front of him and reached out a hand. Fu Wenduo saw Tang Mo suddenly reach out and didn't understand what he wanted to do. Then he saw the handsome young man smile and say, "What a coincidence, I am the same."
Fu Wenduo's heart suddenly twitched violently.
After a long time, Fu Wenduo also reached out. The two people's hands were tightly held together.
After a long time, Tang Mo thought, "Yes, don't tell Xiao Sheng about this. It wasn't easy to explain to him that the two of us are duplicating abilities. Besides, it is better to prevent him from misunderstanding. "
Fu Wenduo didn't want his brother to know so much. "Yes, don't tell him."
Fu Wensheng, who was sleeping outside, "…"
Tang Mo wasn't a person who liked to talk about his private affairs. He and Fu Wenduo had been in a team for three months and had only spoken his heart twice. One time, he handed over his secrets and the other time, he made his sexual orientation public. The latter was because Fu Wenduo had already been honest with him and he wouldn't hide it. But Tang Mo didn't intend to say anything else. Fu Wenduo was very interested in his private affairs.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Tang Mo, "…" This was exactly the same as what his parents asked him after he came out of the closet!
Tang Mo calmly retorted, "Do you?"
Fu Wenduo, "…"
Why did two single dogs hurt each other?
From the reaction of the single dog, Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo could see that this man really hadn't had a boyfriend. It was likely that he hadn't even been in a relationship. He remembered a very famous joke on the Internet. It was said that if a man was still a virgin after the age of 25, he would become a magician, have mana and cast magic.
He was only 23 years old this year and Fu Wenduo was 26. He wasn't a magician yet but Fu Wenduo was.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo with a 'comrade has worked hard' expression. Fu Wenduo thought he was still thinking about the small warehouse and said, "I'm sorry."
Tang Mo was stunned. "?" Why did a magician have to apologize to him?
Fu Wenduo spoke in a sincere tone. "I pushed you back."
Pushed you back?
What did he bump into? Did something bump into him?
It took a long time for Tang Mo to understand what this meant. Then he blushed and stood up. "I will also rest for a while." He didn't give Fu Wenduo a chance to react as he turned and walked out of the office. He found a table and lay down to rest.
Fu Wenduo was stunned for a moment. By the time he recovered, Tang Mo had already left. He looked at the young man lying on the table outside the office and his lips curved. His slender fingers gently touched his chin as Fu Wenduo looked thoughtfully at Tang Mo's figure. He repeated the words, "Tang Mo, Tang Mo, Tang Mo …"
"… Mo Tang."
"Is it you?"
Tang Mo didn't expect that he just wanted to avoid Fu Wenduo and find a reason to rest. He actually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the rain stopped and Tang Mo and Fu Wensheng woke up. The two of them didn't see Fu Wenduo at the gas station. Tang Mo found the small warehouse. Fu Wenduo saw him and calmly threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, using his feet to step on the sparks.
The three people went on the road again.
According to Fu Wenduo's previous plan, the headquarters of the Tian Xuan organization was in the Chaoyang District. If they wanted to go to the Dongcheng District, they had to detour from the Xicheng District to avoid the Chaoyang District. Fu Wenduo drove to the Ring Highway. Some vehicles collided and blocked the road. Tang Mo got out of the car and pushed the abandoned cars away. The car drove for about five hours. Shortly after leaving the highway, Fu Wenduo was about to turn into the Xicheng District when Tang Mo suddenly held the steering wheel. "Wait!"
Fu Wenduo's eyes were cold as he observed the surroundings. "What's wrong?"
In the passenger seat, Tang Mo carefully looked around. In the back seat, Fu Wensheng also tensed up and stared out the window. The car was still moving but the speed was much slower. As the car drove past a Walmart, Tang Mo's eyes stared at the huge blue billboard and he suddenly said, "I found it! It is here! "
Fu Wenduo was stunned before he immediately understood. He quickly stepped on the brakes. After a harsh braking sound, the car steadily stopped in front of the Walmart supermarket.
Tang Mo got out of the car and looked at the shops on both sides of the road and the subway exit. He closed his eyes and searched the remaining memories in his brain. The next moment, he opened his eyes and looked south. Tang Mo stood there for a moment before getting back in the car.
Fu Wenduo asked, "Did you find your friend's home?" Yes, the three people came to Beijing for different purposes. Fu Wenduo was looking for clues related to the black tower while Xiao Fu wanted to go home.
Fu Wenduo always remembered that Tang Mo came all the way to Beijing to find a friend.
