Tang Mo received Luo Fengcheng's document with astonishment.
It was a metallic silver card with no photo on it. There was an electronic chip in the upper right corner and three lines of words were simply printed on the left side of the card.
[Name: Luo Fengcheng]
[Division: Shanghai Group A]
[Position: Team Leader]
After Tang Mo read the card, he handed it to the others. Each of the six people read it and finally handed it back to Luo Fengcheng.
"Why did you lie to us that you are a game designer?" Li Bin asked.
Luo Fengcheng put away the card. His expression was unmoved as he said, "Everyone has their own secrets. You have hidden your ability. To you, your ability is very important and special. My identity is a bit special and I don't want to be exposed at the beginning. Can't you understand? "
Luo Fengcheng looked at the group and continued, "There's no need to doubt the authenticity of my identity. You all know that this tower attack game opened very suddenly. From the announcement of the tower attack to us officially entering, there was only three minutes. It's impossible for me to prepare a card in advance and pretend to be a black tower researcher. "
Lin Qiao thought for a moment and seemed to think of something. She was about to speak when Luo Fengcheng looked at her. "There's no need to doubt that I have an ability to make a card in a short time. If I really have this ability, why would I make a black tower researcher identity card? I can make a game designer identity card. This way, you won't doubt me and I can gain a little trust. "
Luo Fengcheng blocked everyone's words.
Finally, he looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo's face was expressionless as he looked at him calmly but his eyes were slightly focused.
Luo Fengcheng said, "There's no need to doubt that I am a black tower researcher. The black tower has been here for half a year. You should know that black tower researchers are protected and don't contact the outside world. In those three days, I have been studying the black tower in Shanghai. I don't have the opportunity or the need to kill people. In addition … "Luo Fengcheng's voice paused before he put his hands in his pocket." If I really want to kill people, I don't have to do it myself. Someone will help me solve it. "
The group shuddered while Tang Mo stared at Luo Fengcheng. He understood the other person's meaning. Before the earth went online, there was a discussion on the Internet that the researchers in white coats who appeared under the black tower were actually minor characters. The really powerful researchers were protected by the state. The frontline minor characters collected data and the state conducted private research.
Apart from the deep mountains, forests and seas, as long as the black tower appeared in a city, it would be located in the city center. If the country established the research institute next to the black tower, it would be tantamount to a live target, announcing to the world where their base was located.
This kind of online discussion had never been officially verified, but many people firmly believed it.
Tang Mo believed that Luo Fengcheng was a black tower researcher. He had secretly used all his strength to break the card, but he didn't know what material the card was made of, but he couldn't break it. One had to know that his current strength was so great that he could move a car with his bare hands. He couldn't do anything to this card. It was obvious that this card was very special.
As Luo Fengcheng said, it was impossible to create such a card with a real ability. The identity of a black tower researcher was too eye-catching. Right now, the stowaways wanted to hide their identities and not swagger like this.
Apart from the chef and the junior high school student, the others no longer had any doubts about Luo Fengcheng's identity.
If such a person wanted to kill someone, he didn't need to do it himself. The possibility of Luo Fengcheng being a stowaway was extremely low.
Everyone had to talk about what they did in those three days. Tang Mo and Li Bin were temporarily put aside. Now it was Lin Qiao's turn.
"I remember I was in class when the black tower said 'Earth is online.' It seemed to be a class … Oh yes, it was the 15th, Wednesday. The first two classes on Wednesday morning were advanced mathematics. Because the black tower suddenly spoke, we didn't have a class and all the students returned to the dormitory. The school also sent a group message telling us not to panic and to wait for a notice. "
Lin Qiao carefully recalled, "In fact, I am a black tower optimist. I like to play survival games and have played all the survival games on the market recently. I didn't take the black tower seriously in the beginning. Once I returned to the dormitory, my roommates and I talked about the black tower for a long time. Maybe we talked until evening? In any case, we didn't have classes for those three days so I stayed in the dormitory and played games. The cafeteria was also closed. I ate takeout for a few days and stayed in the dormitory. "
Li Bin asked, "Is that all?"
Lin Qiao continued to think. After a long time, she shook her head. "The four people in our dormitory are all locals in Shanghai. My father died early and my mother went to Nanjing on a business trip. After the black tower incident, my three roommates all went home the next day, leaving me alone in the dormitory. That morning, I got up and was brushing my teeth when I heard the black tower's message. I didn't know what happened until I turned on the computer to play games and found that there was no internet. Later, I went to the next dormitory and knocked on the door to find that … everyone was gone. "
At this point, the female college student who had always been brave couldn't hide the fear in her heart. She swallowed and tried to keep calm. "I really stayed in the dormitory to play games for those three days. I didn't kill anyone. I really wasn't a stowaway. After the accident, I wanted to go to Nanjing to find my mother. I didn't expect to be pulled here before leaving Shanghai. Believe me, I really wasn't a stowaway! "
Li Bin nodded and looked at Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng.
The two of them had no objections and Li Bin went to the next person.
The rich second generation Li Wen looked at Tang Mo and took a deep breath to ease his tension. "On the first day of the three days, I went to Nanjing to play with friends. The next day, we were still playing. That day was mainly spent at the bar. The next night, my father called me and told me to go home. I drank too much that night and couldn't go back. I planned to sleep and go back the next day. Then I was suddenly rear-ended on the highway. I fell off the highway and when I woke up, I saw Tang Mo. I didn't know anything about the black tower. Tang Mo told me and I learned that I was rear-ended because the other drivers suddenly disappeared. I'm not a stowaway and I never killed anyone. "
The group looked at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo nodded. "The first time I met him was on the highway and his car was rear-ended. I don't know what happened before. "
Li Bin frowned. "How can you say it so simply? Tell me more. "
Li Wen had a bitter expression as he thought for a long time. "I have been thinking about it but I basically played with friends and drank for three days. I didn't do anything special. There is no need to say what we played. It was just the things we usually played. There is nothing to say … drinking? Playing ball? Uh, okay, my friend also brought a few female celebrities to play with him … "
Everyone didn't listen to Li Wen's words and Lin Qiao cast a contemptuous look.
Li Wen said innocently, "Hey, you told me to say it. What can we play …"
Lin Qiao had already explained the situation to the chef while Li Wen was speaking. The chef was particularly nervous after understanding the situation. His forehead was covered in sweat and he stood straight. When he saw everyone looking at him, he immediately said, "I … I am a chef. But after the black tower appeared six months ago, my boss ran away in fear and I lost my job. After that, I made a living by delivering takeout. In those three days, I delivered takeout as usual but because many people didn't go to work, my list was much smaller. Also … nothing special happened. I just delivered takeout. On the third morning, when I went out to deliver takeout, I suddenly saw the people on the street disappear. I was so scared that I went home. "
Li Bin asked, "Can you say it more clearly?"
The chef anxiously wiped his sweat. "Let me think … oh, I remember that I delivered to two high-end communities. One was at Jing 'an Temple. The guard didn't let me ride in and I walked in to deliver the food. The other one was near the People's Square. As for the others … what should I say? What do you think I want to say? If you say it, I will definitely tell you. I really didn't kill anyone, really! I'm not a stowaway! "
The chef was anxiously looking at everyone's eyes. Tang Mo looked at him thoughtfully before walking to the little girl.
Peng Liwen stood next to Lin Qiao and timidly looked at the others.
Lin Qiao said, "Don't be afraid, Wenwen. Just tell me what you did in those three days. Real stowaways can't hide their fox tails … "Lin Qiao's eyes looked at Li Bin and Li Wen." You just need to say it. "
The little girl nodded and said in a small voice, "I'm not a stowaway and I didn't kill anyone. Like my sister, our school didn't allow me to go to school. I was picked up by my parents and stayed at home. My father had to continue to work and my mother's unit said that she didn't need to go to work. Thus, she stayed at home with me. My mother was worried that my studies would get worse if I didn't go to class and kept urging me to study hard. My mother taught me at home. I studied language and mathematics from 7 to 11 in the morning. I took a nap at noon and started learning English from 2 o 'clock. At 6 o' clock in the evening, she did homework with me and helped me with it. Then … "
The little girl's eyes were red. "Then on the third day, my mother suddenly disappeared. I didn't know anything. She just disappeared."
Lin Qiao pulled the little girl's hand and comforted her.
The little girl choked for a moment, her face pale and her voice hoarse. "The night before my mother disappeared, she talked to me and told me not to be afraid. As long as I was good, she would be fine. Mother … Mother disappeared … "
The tears couldn't be restrained anymore.
There were only two girls among the seven people. Lin Qiao hugged the thin little girl and stroked her back to comfort her.
Li Bin looked at the two girls and his eyebrows slowly wrinkled. He opened his mouth but didn't speak. Tang Mo said, "Li Bin, it is your turn."
Li Bin nodded and spoke about his experience. "I work in a public relations company and am responsible for marketing planning. After the black tower incident, our company didn't have a holiday and asked to continue working. I personally have a bit of conflict with the black tower and wanted to ask for leave. However, there was a big project during this time and our boss didn't agree. I could only continue working. The next day, I was pulled into a black tower game. The black tower game was called … "Li Bin paused for a long time before saying with a strange expression," It was called 'Sheep is so cute, why do you want to eat it?' "
Everyone, "…"
Li Bin looked up at Tang Mo. "You should understand. I was suddenly pulled into a strange place. I didn't do anything at all. The black tower announced the start of the game and announced a bunch of strange rules. Three strangers and I were pulled into the game. Once the four of us entered, we were wearing a sheep costume. The black tower said that we were now playing hide-and-seek with a wolf in a maze. If we were caught, we would be eaten. We had to find the god's egg at the exit of the maze before we were eaten. Then we could defeat the wolf and win the game. "
Li Bin seemed to feel that the game was too childish and lowered his head helplessly. "The four of us decided to separate when we entered the maze. Since there was only one wolf, we had a greater chance of surviving and wouldn't be wiped out. Later, I heard the screams of my two companions and guessed that they were eaten by the wolf. I quickly ran. However, I couldn't find the exit of the maze and felt that the wolf was particularly close to me. It was about to catch up to me when the black tower suddenly said that the game was over and my other companion found the god's egg. Then I don't know what happened but I won and returned to the company … "
"I always wanted to tell others about this but I don't know why I couldn't say anything about the game. I couldn't make a sound when it came to the game. Everyone in the company thought that I was late because I overslept, and I was half a day late. However, I couldn't defend myself. I was too scared to go to work and planned to drive back to my hometown the next day. Then I didn't have time to go home when everyone disappeared. "
Li Bin looked up at Tang Mo. "Are you the same? I can't tell anyone else. Really, I can't say anything! "
Tang Mo shook his head. "The time I ended the game was very coincidental. It didn't take long for everyone to disappear."
Li Bin said, "But I really am an official player."
Luo Fengcheng's indifferent voice was heard at this time. "In fact, there is a flaw in what I just said. It isn't only accidental murderers who react emotionally when their crimes are exposed. Any murderer, even a premeditated murderer, will have a special reaction when their killing is pointed out. "
Luo Fengcheng suddenly interrupted him and Li Bin's expression changed. "What do you mean? I really am an official player, not a stowaway. A stowaway is clearly … "
"He isn't talking about you." Tang Mo said.
Luo Fengcheng glanced at Tang Mo. "Any normal murderer will have a slight change when the big mole said the definition of a stowaway. Only two types of murderers will be indifferent. The first type are sociopathic murderers. They don't think killing is wrong so there won't be any abnormalities. The second type are naive murderers. They might be too young, or they might be ignorant. They don't know what they're doing, so even if their identities are exposed, they won't feel too much of a psychological burden. "
Tang Mo nodded slightly. "In fact, I was very suspicious of you before you said your first sentence. However, I still hoped it wasn't you."
The tall and handsome young man walked in front of the two girls and bent down slightly to look at the timid little girl.
"The first sentence you said exposed your identity. But you are only 15 years old. Who did you kill? Why did you kill people? "
Li Bin shouted, "Yes, she is the stowaway! I just discovered it. "
Lin Qiao's hand stiffened as she held the little girl. She quickly let go and moved away from her.
The little girl's face was full of tears. She took two steps back in fear and sobbed. "I didn't, I didn't … I didn't kill anyone, I didn't … I … I …"
"You are the stowaway."
