In the dark room.
The sound of the clock ticking was heard.
The sky was dark and a thin layer of sun was pulled over it. The bustling lights of the city shone through the window screen into the room.
A faint dark light shone on the living room floor. The whole house was frighteningly quiet. The phone was thrown to the ground.
A mouse also fell to the ground.
There were a few cracks on it, obviously caused by someone falling.
A drop of water slowly dripped from the kitchen tap.
"Patter —"
The tall and thin youth curled up in the corner of the bedroom trembled when he heard this sound.
Then he buried his head in his legs.
His whole body trembled.
In a classroom of the No. 80 High School in Chaoyang District.
Li Miaomiao lay on the desk and calmly narrated, "That instance was the strangest instance Qi Heng and I have ever seen. There was no boss or any other black tower monster. After entering the instance, the black tower only told us to find a way to leave the instance and didn't give any other conditions. "Li Miaomiao spoke slowly.
"At first, Qi Heng and I were wary of the human who appeared in the instance.
Gradually, we found that he couldn't see us.
We also couldn't touch him. "
"He is the 'official player Wang Zexin.'"
The invisible person could appear again at any time.
Maybe the next time it would be a powerful invisible person with a higher ranking. Li Miaomiao briefly described the scene she saw in the instance. The dark house.
It was like time had stopped. At first, the player named Wang Zexin wanted to contact the outside world.
Escape. But it was impossible for him to escape.
The windows were sealed.
The glass had become steel.
It couldn't be smashed.
The door couldn't be opened.
He made a phone call.
There was only a 'not in the service area' reminder. There was no internet and he couldn't communicate with the outside world.
Li Miaomiao explained, "The time was 7 o 'clock on the 17th and 7 o' clock the next morning, which is 7 o 'clock on the 18th. This was the first night. Qi Heng and I didn't do anything. We just observed the instance. In the morning, the neighbour went out. Wang Zexin kept knocking on the security door but the person opposite couldn't hear him. "
Ruan Wangshu said, "This instance is equivalent to separating the house from the outside world and becoming a separate instance. It's impossible to leave the instance without clearing the game. "
Ruan Wangshu looked up at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stood in the middle of the classroom with a calm expression. Ruan Wangshu heard Qi Heng say that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo once wanted to enter Wang Zexin's house. They should know Wang Zexin and should even be friends. But now, Tang Mo didn't show any abnormalities. Maybe he hid it well, or maybe they were just ordinary friends.
"He disappeared at 8 o 'clock on the 18th? Did you enter the world of the invisible people? "
Li Miaomiao shook her head. He was neither invisible nor an official player. Because he only completed half of the black tower game, he really died. "
Li Miaomiao knew that this person was Tang Mo's friend but she didn't care about the so-called friend's emotions. She directly said, "Qi Heng and I stayed in that instance for a total of five nights, 60 hours. We kept repeating the last day before Wang Zexin died. Finally, we found something strange. It was the clock on the living room wall. "
Tang Mo was stunned. "… Clock?"
Li Miaomiao's injury seems to be better. She sits up from the table. Her face was still stained with blood and there were a lot of injuries on her body. As she looked at Tang Mo with bloodshot eyes, there was a hint of schadenfreude. Li Miaomiao said, "Beijing time, 8 o 'clock on November 18th, 2017, the earth went online. Not one minute more, not one minute less. The moment the earth went online, the black tower issued a global announcement. All humans who failed to successfully load the game disappeared and entered the world of the invisible people. This is a fact we already know. "
Fu Wenduo asked, "Then that instance is related to time?"
Li Miaomiao sat up straight. "In order to guess this word, Qi Heng and I stayed in it for 60 hours. We saw Wang Zexin die over and over again, then we watched him enter the room over and over again. This word is time. Wang Zexin participated in a black tower game before returning to the room. In that black tower game, he competed with another player to steal the other person's time. This is what we were told by the black tower after the instance was cleared. Wang Zexin won the other person for five seconds in that game. The other person was eliminated and then he returned to Earth. "
Tang Mo's body shook and he slowly raised his head to look at Li Miaomiao.
The Tian Xuan organization already knew the truth of this instance. Among the four people, Chen Shanshan also slowly understood the answer.
Li Miaomiao looked at them and shook her head with a smile. "Yes, you guessed right. Tang Mo, your friend died in the five seconds he got. He won, five seconds. After he 'left the game' and returned to Earth, he also had five seconds. In those 60 hours, the black tower went online four times. Qi Heng and I didn't understand what the black tower wanted us to do or what it was thinking. It wasn't until the third time the earth went online that Wang Zexin disappeared. I found that he turned his head and looked in the direction of the living room. I think in the end, he also understood that he got five seconds, because … the clock on the living room wall showed 8: 05. "
At the last moment of his life, Wang Zexin heard the black tower's prompt and suddenly understood what he had been missing.
He was a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have won the black tower game and become half an official player. But he lacked information. The second he stepped into the house, he didn't know that his life was five seconds longer than the outside world. He didn't know why he suddenly fell into such a strange place.
However, he knew that at 8 o 'clock three days ago, the black tower made a sound for the first time and announced that the earth was online.
Now the black tower made a sound again. He watched his body slowly disappear and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. In an instant, he understood the truth. He turned his head with all his might and saw the clock that was five seconds faster than the outside world. However, it was too late. He only had one head and one pair of eyes left. It was impossible to adjust that time.
So he stared at the clock, and then he died.
Tang Mo quietly looked at Li Miaomiao. "Then as long as the time is adjusted back, it's considered winning?"
"Yes, Qi Heng and I took the clock down from the wall and moved the second hand back by five seconds … after that, we cleared the instance dungeon. I originally didn't understand why this kind of thing was made into a separate instance. Wang Zexin just encountered a very strange instance. However, after Mu Huixue cleared the black tower's fourth floor, I understood that the black tower was reminding the surviving players that this situation might occur in the black tower game. "
Li Miaomiao concluded, "This reality instance has no meaning. The only purpose is to give players a warning to always pay attention to whether or not they really cleared the game." After a moment, Li Miaomiao looked at Tang Mo's calm expression and deliberately smiled. "Aren't you sad? I thought it was your friend."
Tang Mo replied, "I'm sad."
The group looked at Tang Mo with surprise, wondering why he suddenly spoke about his emotions when he was clearly very calm. Even Fu Wenduo didn't expect Tang Mo to answer this question. He looked at Tang Mo with surprise, thinking that Tang Mo wouldn't pay attention to Li Miaomiao's words.
The female doctor also looked stunned. After a long time, she said, "I'm sorry."
Tang Mo's tone was calm as he looked at Ruan Wangshu. "I understand what you mean. The end of the black tower game is likely to affect the player's reality. In … "Tang Mo paused before continuing," In Wang Zexin's instance, he thought he had cleared the mysterious game and returned to Earth. In fact, the game wasn't over. His time is disordered and he is locked in that space. He needs to make a move to return to the correct timeline for the game to truly end. Is this the same for Mu Huixue? "
Ruan Wangshu replied, "Yes, Mu Huixue is likely to be like this. This explains why the black tower suddenly said that she started the 4.0 version update and then abruptly stopped. It is because she opened another game the moment she finished one. She didn't really clear the black tower's fourth floor. Perhaps she is still looking for a way to clear the game. Once she completely clears the black tower's fourth floor, the 4.0 version will be opened. "
Tang Mo's group of four pulled out chairs and sat opposite Ruan Wangshu.
Chen Shanshan spoke for the second time. "At present, there are two things we need to pay attention to. First, catch the isolated invisible people. While they don't know that the two worlds are merging, they should take us lightly and kill as many invisible people as possible. Second, attack the black tower's fourth floor. " The little girl's eyes swept over the several Tian Xuan members in the classroom. "The people in this classroom should be the core members of Tian Xuan?"
Ruan Wangshu said, "Tian Xuan had a total of six people in the beginning. Lian Yuzheng joined later and there are still six people excluding Qi Heng."
Chen Shanshan asked, "They all cleared the third floor?"
Ruan Wangshu nodded. "Li Miaomiao is on the second floor."
Chen Shanshan turned to look at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. After getting their consent, she looked at Ruan Wangshu. "There is one thing we didn't say just now. Major Fu received an extra reward from the black tower when he cleared the black tower's third floor. The black tower recommended that the surviving players immediately attack the black tower's fourth floor. The black tower rarely talks nonsense. At most, it will play word games. This time, its recommendation is likely related to the invisible people. "
Unexpectedly, Chen Shanshan's words caused Ruan Wangshu to fall into a strange silence.
Tang Mo instantly noticed the strange look on the other person's face and heard Lian Yuzheng's voice. "We didn't say this before. When the leader cleared the black tower's third floor, he also heard a black tower boss say that it was best to quickly clear the black tower's fourth floor. The other person's original words were, 'You are all going to die anyway and none of you have cleared the fourth floor. I won't care about a group of dead people.' "
Tang Mo turned to look at Fu Wenduo and the two of them stared at each other.
A few seconds later, Tang Mo quickly made a decision. "The matter of joining forces to attack the invisible people can be decided. As for attacking the black tower's fourth floor, this is our own business. The appearance of the invisible people has been irregular and we can't find Su Xiao. Therefore, it is more important to kill the invisible people and clear the fourth floor. "
Ruan Wangshu said, "Tian Xuan has an intelligence network in Beijing."
"Okay, then we can share information."
The two sides briefly exchanged the information they had before Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo decided to leave here first and meet up with Fu Wensheng. They didn't think Lian Yuzheng's invitation was a trap but just in case, they let Xiao Fu hide in a safe place to wait for their news. With only Chen Shanshan, they could safely leave the Tian Xuan base with the little girl. It would be difficult if Xiao Fu was there.
Once the general cooperation plan was determined, Tang Mo turned to leave. At this time, a voice was heard behind him. "Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, do you want to go back and attack the black tower's fourth floor?"
Tang Mo's footsteps stopped and he turned to look at the pale boy.
Tang Mo didn't deny it.
Ruan Wangshu said, "You and Major Fu should be challenging the black tower's fourth floor together. With your strategy and force, there isn't much of a problem and there is hope to clear the instance. There is a boy in your team who is younger than me. He should have a healing ability? However, it is obvious that his force isn't good. Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought him here today. "
Fu Wenduo lowered his eyes. "What do you want to say?"
"How about adding one more person?"
Tang Mo smiled. "Add you?"
The next moment, Ruan Wangshu shook his head. "Add her."
Li Miaomiao, who was pointed at, was also shocked. She was puzzled. "Leader?"
Ruan Wangshu didn't answer. He turned his palm and a knife appeared in his hand. No one had expected him to suddenly move. Without hesitation, he slashed at his own wrist. Blood splashed but Ruan Wangshu didn't even blink. The broken hand fell to the ground. Ruan Wangshu stretched out his bleeding wrist and handed it to Li Miaomiao.
"… Leader?"
Li Miaomiao was answered by Ruan Wangshu's cold gaze.
Li Miaomiao's expression changed and she gritted her teeth. A few seconds later, she still reached out her hand and pressed her hand on Ruan Wangshu's broken wrist while muttering some inaudible words.
The thick clouds were blown away by the wind and the moonlight shone on Ruan Wangshu's broken wrist. At a speed visible to the naked eye, blood vessels and skin quickly regenerated and a new hand appeared on the cross-section of the broken wrist. Tang Mo was shocked and looked back at Li Miaomiao. He saw that Li Miaomiao's hand had suddenly disappeared. There was no blood but her expression was a bit ugly, as if she was enduring pain. After half a minute, her hand gradually grew back.
10 minutes later, Li Miaomiao raised her left hand and everything was the same as before.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other and instantly understood each other's meaning.
Fu Wenduo had the 'genetic recombination' ability. After his limbs were broken, he could quickly grow new limbs. However, his speed definitely wasn't this fast. At the same time, Li Miaomiao didn't grow her own hand. It was Ruan Wangshu's hand.
Ruan Wangshu said, "This is her ability. You only know the first role of her ability. She can not only hurt herself but also transfer the pain to others. She can also transfer other people's wounds to herself and recover through her powerful self-healing ability. Li Miaomiao will go and each of you will have one more life. She is only on the black tower's second floor and won't increase the difficulty of your instance. In addition … "
Ruan Wangshu pulled out a golden coin from his pocket and threw it to Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao hurriedly caught it. "Leader? You are giving this to me? "
"She also has the king's gold coin." Ruan Wangshu spoke coldly. "The invisible people are much stronger than us. We must quickly attack the black tower's fourth floor. My injuries are very serious and I need to rest for a few days. "
Tang Mo's eyes swept over Ruan Wangshu and Li Miaomiao. After a long time, he smiled and nodded. "Okay."
One day later —
"Ding dong! The black tower's fourth floor (normal mode) has officially opened. The team game is loading … "
"Sandbox generated …"
"Data loading complete …"
