"Ding dong! The black tower's seventh floor main mission: Eliminate Inari from the black tower world! "
Tang Mo didn't have time to be sad or afraid.
The huckster and Xiao Zhao disappeared completely, leaving no clothes or belongings behind.
There was no need for him to help pack up anything.
Tang Mo closed the door.
He left the library.
There were seven or eight people gathered under the black tower in the city center. Some of them were sitting on the ground in a daze.
They didn't understand what had just happened. Why did their companions disappear in just a few minutes? There were also two middle-aged men dressed as elites tearing down the white wall.
The white plastic wall was built by the armed police three days ago. It surrounded the black tower and prevented ordinary citizens from approaching.
Now the armed police had disappeared.
The scientists doing research in the white wall had also disappeared. The two men tore a big hole in the white wall.
They approached the black tower. Tang Mo didn't follow them.
He looked at it from a distance and continued to move forward.
So many scientists studied it for half a year.
They didn't find any clues. He didn't think he could figure out what the black tower was.
The first problem Tang Mo had to face was that there was no car.
It was 8: 15.
At 8 o 'clock, the huckster and Xiao Zhao disappeared. Like them, most people in the city had disappeared. There was no driver.
The bus and subway couldn't go home. In addition, many people were still driving when they disappeared. Now the cars had crashed into each other.
Most of the roads were blocked.
Tang Mo walked half a kilometer and saw a yellow car that had fallen to the ground.
He took out his phone and scanned the QR code.
"Sure enough, it can't be used …"
Tang Mo frowned and crouched down to observe the lock structure of the yellow car. After looking at it for two minutes, he picked up a stone from the ground and started to smash the lock.
The huge recoil made Tang Mo's wrist hurt but his strength was much greater than before.
He smashed it twice.
The steel lock was smashed into pieces.
Tang Mo looked thoughtfully at the iron lock that he had smashed.
He rode the yellow car home.
40 minutes later, he entered the community and parked the yellow car downstairs.
In the quiet community, there was no one around. There was only the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind. Tang Mo simply packed some clothes after returning home. Tang Mo's parents were only children and his grandparents had passed away when he was a child. When he was in college, his parents died in a car accident. After that, he had little contact with his relatives.
Tang Mo's close friends didn't stay in Suzhou after graduation. One went to Beijing and one went to Shanghai.
The huckster's daughter was also in Shanghai, so he could go and find his friend.
Tang Mo was trapped in the library yesterday evening. When he returned home, he first filled his stomach and then packed a few clothes into his suitcase. Everything was packed, but there was a more serious problem —
He doesn't have a car.
From Suzhou to Shanghai, it only took half an hour to take the high-speed train, and one hour to drive.
The high-speed rail couldn't operate now. Tang Mo didn't dare imagine the current situation on the railway. If, like on the street, the driver suddenly disappeared, and countless cars crashed one after another. If it was on the railway, the unmanned train would have crashed into each other as well.
He needed a car.
Tang Mo went upstairs and knocked on the landlord's door. After three minutes, there was no response from the door. He picked up the iron wrench he had brought from home and smashed it through the lock.
As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong smell of gas.
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed as he ran to the kitchen to turn off the gas stove and open the windows.
There were cut vegetables on the kitchen table. It was clear that the owner of the house was preparing a delicious breakfast before disappearing. Tang Mo left school a year ago and rented this house. The landlord was a very good old couple who lived upstairs. The old couple retired and had nothing to do at home. Sometimes, they would invite Tang Mo upstairs to eat.
Tang Mo didn't have a car and often borrowed it from the landlord.
He took the car key from the drawer under the TV cabinet and checked around. Once he found that there was really no one in the house, he opened the door and left.
Shanghai was too close to Suzhou and driving wouldn't consume too much gas. However, Tang Mo found that the landlord's car really didn't have much gas. The needle was approaching the red line. Based on his estimation of the amount of fuel, he would have to break down halfway through the journey at most.
He could only refuel first.
Tang Mo inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it to the right. The moment he started the car, a sharp pain suddenly invaded his heart. It was like a big hand was pressing hard on his heart. Tang Mo's face turned pale, his heart pounded and his blood flowed to the extreme.
His body temperature rose at an unimaginable speed.
It reached 40 degrees in one minute!
However, the high temperature of 40 degrees didn't burn Tang Mo's brain. His consciousness was very clear and he clearly felt a sharp knife cutting the flesh of his heart. His body temperature was still rising and the pain in his heart gradually increased.
Tang Mo punched the passenger seat but this couldn't relieve the pain.
The severe pain made his consciousness gradually blurred.
10 hours later, Tang Mo woke up and the sky was dark. When he was unconscious, his clothes were soaked with sweat again and again. Then they were naturally air-dried and then soaked with sweat again. He didn't know how many times this was repeated before his heartbeat returned to normal and the pain disappeared.
Tang Mo's face was still a bit ugly but his eyes were extremely sharp and bright.
He touched his chest and saw that his heart had returned to normal. He checked other parts of his body and there were no abnormalities.
Then he reached out and grabbed a book from the air.
He completely grabbed the book from the air but there was no surprise on Tang Mo's face. It was a notebook-like book with a yellowish-brown hardboard kraft cover. The inside of the book was blank. Tang Mo stared seriously at the blank paper. Under his gaze, lines of words appeared on the white paper.
[Arcana: Eat and leave without paying.]
[Owner: Tang Mo]
Type: Special type
Function: Collect Arcana
Note: Everyone has a dream in their heart to eat and leave without giving money! Tang Mo might look like a decent person but he didn't know a person's heart. He also wanted to do this kind of thing. At the age of seven, Tang Mo stole chocolate from his neighbor's child and didn't give money. At the age of 10, he copied his deskmate's homework and didn't give money. At the age of 15, he peeked at his first porn (calcium tablets) and still didn't give money!
You see, he wants to eat and leave without giving money!]
Tang Mo, "…"
You are crazy!!!
Tang Mo almost wanted to slap the book to the wall.
Fortunately, he endured it.
This was his ability.
When Tang Mo woke up, he knew that he had an ability. His special ability wasn't wind, fire, thunder, or lightning, nor was it innate divine strength. It was just a book, a book that made people want to slap it to death with a slap.
Tang Mo kept flipping through the book. Unfortunately, apart from the information displayed on the first page, there were no other words in the book. He looked for half an hour and couldn't find any clues. After a long time, another line of words appeared in the book.
Note: Do you think Tang Mo will give money? Friend, he is thinking about going to the gas station to buy gas!]
Tang Mo, "…"
"Bang —"
A book was thrown out of the window.
After a minute, the thin and handsome young man got out of the car and picked up the book with a blank expression.
The book was placed on the passenger seat and Tang Mo didn't look at it again. He drove to the nearest gas station. The gas station was dead silent and there was no one. A few fuel pipes fell to the ground and the pungent smell of diesel flowed to the ground. It was estimated that the staff had suddenly disappeared while they were refueling.
Tang Mo paused before getting out of the car and took out his wallet from the back seat.
There was obviously no one in the gas station but he shouted, "Is there anyone?"
There was no response and Tang Mo went directly to a refueling machine. There was a card inserted into the refueling machine. It was a common card used by the staff. Every staff member at the gas station had a card with a high limit. They would directly transfer the gas from this card to the driver.
Tang Mo didn't have his own car and didn't have a private gas card. He could only use the staff's card to refuel.
In the quiet and empty gas station, the tall, thin, black-haired young man quickly filled the gas tank. The dark night always made people feel nervous. This was originally a very prosperous area of the Suzhou Park but there was no one here. Only Tang Mo stood under the bright lights, refueling his car.
There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness around him as a sharp wind whistled past.
Tang Mo put the refueling pipe back and his expression changed before leaving. He seemed to think of something and took out two 100 yuan bills from his wallet. He placed a stone on the ground of the gas station.
He was just about to get up and return to the car when something cold pressed against his waist. Tang Mo maintained his bent posture and didn't move.
"Don't move! Take out your wallet. Hurry up! "
The black tower had already prompted everyone to complete the second branch mission. There was no new branch mission. They only had one main mission and that was to survive. People could live for seven days without water. Without food, they couldn't survive for 30 days. If the big mole didn't intervene, Tang Mo felt that with his current physical fitness, he could survive for at least a month without water. He was afraid that the black tower's survival mission had no end.
Tang Mo tentatively asked, "Uncle Mole, how can we get out of here? “
The big mole gave a strange laugh. "You want to go out? How can you go out? You are playing a retarded mode. The only thing you have to do is survive. Do you still want to go out? "
The group was very dissatisfied with the mole's words but didn't dare refute it.
In the dark cave, the sound of the giant mole digging the earth was mechanical and harsh.
Li Bin was still holding the flashlight that the little girl had transformed into. He looked at the flashlight with a strange expression and muttered, "It's a bit scary …"
Tang Mo looked at him. "You don't want it? Can I see it? "He was very interested in this thing that was purely transformed from an ability.
Li Bin didn't think about it and quickly stuffed the flashlight into Tang Mo's hands. "Take it, I don't want this thing."
The flashlight was quickly stuffed into Tang Mo's hands. He opened his mouth and didn't speak when a strange colour flashed in his eyes.
Luo Fengcheng said, "I also want to see it." He reached out to take it.
Tang Mo froze for a moment and didn't hand over the flashlight. Luo Fengcheng felt strange. Suddenly, a cheerful and bright song was heard. The voice was cheerful and the sharp child's voice made the five humans and the big mole stop what they were doing. The big mole's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
After the song finished, a familiar voice was heard in everyone's ears.
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway, Fu Wenduo, has successfully cleared the black tower's first floor! "
The big mole jerked its head and said again, "How is this possible?"
Tang Mo gripped the flashlight in his hand, his eyes narrowing. After the black tower finished broadcasting this sentence, Tang Mo suddenly felt his eyes blur. In his line of sight, the big mole held its head in horror and its figure gradually faded. He looked at Li Bin, Li Wen, Luo Fengcheng and Lin Qiao beside him. The figures of these four people also slowly dissipated.
Once his line of sight turned completely dark, Tang Mo opened his eyes the next second. The bright sunlight dazzled his eyes. Tang Mo was like a drowning person, breathing fresh air and trying to adapt to the strong light. Once Tang Mo saw the scene in front of him, his expression changed and he jerked the steering wheel. The car brushed against the curb and he was almost knocked out of the car.
The car drove for more than 20 metres before Tang Mo stopped the car on the side of the road.
His heart was still pounding and everything he had just experienced in the underground cave flashed in front of him. He quickly calmed down and looked around, finding that he was in the original car. Before the so-called tower attack game began, Tang Mo and Li Wen were driving. Now he was back …
"Where is Li Wen?"
Tang Mo drove the car back and couldn't find Li Wen.
There was no way to find him. Tang Mo parked on the side of the road and looked down at the flashlight in his palm.
This flashlight was given to Tang Mo by Li Bin. Li Bin felt disgusted because the owner of the flashlight was the little girl who died in front of them. Thus, he couldn't wait to give the flashlight to Tang Mo. He never imagined that once Tang Mo got the flashlight, he would find that he had an ability.
Tang Mo raised his hand, pulled a book out of the air and opened it to the third page.
[Ability: Draw a circle to curse you.]
[Owner: Li Bin (official player)]
[Type: Special]
[Function: Attack a specific target with the law of causality, causing the target to be unlucky.]
[Level: First level]
[Restriction: You can only curse one target per day. You can't control the negative effects on the cursed target.]
[Note: Tang Mo didn't even give money for the flashlight. He is simply shameless!]
Tang Mo, "…"
Tang Mo's fingers crunched the pages. He took two deep breaths and continued to read.
[Tang Mo's version: Limited to one use per day. The success rate is 30%. Choking on food and drinking water is also unlucky. This spicy ability is a bit compatible with Tang Mo.]
… If this wasn't his own ability, Tang Mo would have turned this book to ashes!
Tang Mo probably guessed that if he wanted to get someone else's ability, the first way was to directly kill the other person like he did with Qian Sankun. Then he would definitely get the ability. The second method was to make the other party "eat everything and leave without paying". For example, Li Bin gave the flashlight to Tang Mo and Tang Mo didn't give him money. This was a kind of 'eat and leave without giving money.'
But as long as he took the flashlight, he would eat and leave without giving money. The way to get other people's abilities … was it so simple?
Tang Mo thought for a moment and vaguely felt that things weren't so simple. There might be other restrictions. He was about to close the book when a line of light-coloured words appeared behind the remarks. He looked down.
[Note: Draw a circle to curse you (User: Li Bin). It has worked.]
"It has worked?" When did it work? Who did it work on?
This line of words was very light and didn't have the familiar style of the abilities book. Tang Mo looked at it for a long time and didn't see any clues. He put his hand in his pocket and suddenly touched something hard. He took it out and looked.
"Turkey egg?"
The turkey egg given by the big mole was the size of an adult man's fist. Tang Mo took it and put it in his pocket. He didn't expect to be taken out of the game.
This was a very ordinary white egg. Apart from the fact that it was bigger than an ordinary egg, everything else was the same. The big mole said that it was impossible for humans to hatch turkeys and gave this egg to Tang Mo to eat. However, Tang Mo tried to smash the turkey egg against the steering wheel of the car.
Dong!
There was a dull sound and Tang Mo stared.
"…"
The turkey egg didn't crack but there was a small crack in the steering wheel!
Could this be eaten? Only copper teeth and iron teeth could eat this!
Tang Mo didn't know that at this moment, the black tower's first floor, the underground mole cave.
The big mole held its head with its claws and kept muttering, "How can someone attack the first floor now?" It muttered for a long time before finally comforting itself by saying, "Anyway, it wasn't from me." After saying this, the big mole suddenly relaxed. It smiled sinisterly and started to dig the ground with its claws.
"I've eaten such a delicious turkey today, it's really a profit. That human doesn't know how precious Mosaic's match is. When can those humans come again and bring me Mosaic's match … "The big mole dug a huge hole, revealing thousands of white eggs. It had just taken a very ordinary white egg from here and given it to Tang Mo. The big mole smiled proudly and continued to dig into the depths of the white egg with its claws, muttering to itself, "My precious egg won't be given to you. I have to lock it in a cage and hold it to sleep every day. Only a fool would give it to … you … ahhhhh!!! My egg!!! "
He saw that in the pile of white eggs, a small iron cage was unlocked and empty.
The black tower's first floor, the turkey's nest.
A giant turkey the size of a tiger was lying on the ground, blood flowing from its body. It was still cooing and its sharp claws were stained with human blood. However, it couldn't stand up. One more blow and it would inevitably die.
However, it was lucky that the human who hurt it didn't have the strength to stand up again.
The turkey gritted its teeth. "Coo … stowaway … coo, I will eat you coo …"
A man in black had his leg torn off by the turkey and blood flowed all over his body. His left arm had been pecked into a bloody hole by the turkey, and his right arm was shockingly devoid of a hand. From his wrist, a huge black iron awl had grown out of thin air, glowing with a dark purple metallic luster.
The man coughed up blood and swung his right arm. The terrifying and violent iron awl disappeared and turned into a scarred right hand. He used both hands to climb into the turkey's nest and reached out to pick up the white turkey egg hidden in the centre of the haystack.
The turkey roared, "You put my egg down!"
"When you were fighting just now, you kept avoiding touching this egg." The man wiped the blood he coughed out from the corner of his lips. His expression was calm as he concluded, "It's a treasure."
The turkey flapped its wings angrily but it didn't even have the strength to stand up. For the first time, it regretted seeing the stowaway. Why did it want to eat him as soon as it saw him? If it hadn't wanted to eat the stowaway, the two of them wouldn't have fought and it wouldn't have become like this. Who knew that this stowaway would be so strong that he actually cleared the first floor of the black tower!
It didn't matter if he cleared the first floor. The important thing was its egg! Its most precious egg!!!
"Give it back to me!!!"
The Fire Boss used all his strength to stand up and stumbled towards the human. It was just about to peck at the human and snatch back the turkey egg in his hand when the black tower's prompt was heard. The man's figure suddenly disappeared and the turkey fell to the ground.
"Coo … my egg … coo coo … egg coo …"
All the players in China left the black tower at the same time.
Fu Wenduo escaped from the turkey's nest. He had a broken leg that was torn off by the turkey and left in the nest. After leaving the black tower, he lay in an abandoned construction site with no one around. A sizzling sound could be heard from his broken right leg. Upon closer inspection, his leg was actually growing flesh bit by bit.
The speed was very slow but the broken part was really growing back.
There were many similar situations. All the players in China were pulled into the black tower's first floor to attack the tower. There were players like Tang Mo who didn't have a violent conflict with the big mole because of Mosaic's match but there were very few. There were more people like Fu Wenduo who directly fought with the creatures in the black tower.
Some people died on the black tower's first floor and some people saw the light of day again.
Most of the people who escaped got treasures from inside. Even if they were injured, they were happy and hugged the treasures they had worked so hard to get.
Once the muscles on his right leg grew to his knee, Fu Wenduo opened his eyes and took out the white turkey egg from his pocket.
He stared at it as the sun slowly set and the sun shone on the turkey egg. It suddenly bloomed with a golden light and a line of small words appeared on the white eggshell.
[Prop: Momo]
[Owner: Fu Wenduo]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: Level 2 (upgradeable)]
[Attack power: General]
[Function: Save the current game progress]
[Restriction: It can only be used once every seven days and can be saved for 1 hour.]
[Note: As a Chinese person in the new era, don't you know what Momo is?]
Fu Wenduo, "…"
At the same time, Tang Mo was carefully studying the hard and strange turkey egg. He knocked it from time to time and smashed it with the abilities book twice.
Tang Mo didn't have time to waste before temporarily giving up on studying the turkey egg. He drove to Shanghai's Jing 'an District. He placed the turkey egg behind the window. A beam of sunlight shone through the window and small golden words appeared on the turkey egg.
Tang Mo immediately stopped the car and observed the changes in the turkey egg.
[Prop: # $% 2 (damaged)]
[Owner: Tang Mo]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: # ¥(upgradeable)]
[Attack power: General]
[Merit $#: Save game #% ^ $#]
[Restriction: # $#% $! #]
[Remark: As $$% # $! #]
Tang Mo, "???"
What the hell was that?!
Tang Mo bent his middle finger and knocked on the turkey egg a few times. Once he knocked it for the third time, a low male voice was heard from the turkey egg.
"… Momo?"
Tang Mo was stunned.
Was this turkey egg also a creature? It was so intelligent and knew that his name was Tang Mo?
But it seemed a bit too intimate to call him Momo …
Tang Mo pondered for a moment before replying softly, "Yes." He thought for a moment. "Are you a turkey or a turkey egg?"
The voice inside the turkey egg suddenly stopped.
The next moment, a cold voice was heard. "Who are you?"
It was now 'daytime' and the demons had disappeared. The angels could walk around freely. They had been in this strange place for a few hours and Tang Mo and the huckster were no longer so nervous. The two men walked to the burned bookshelf with explosion-proof rods. Tang Mo squatted down and looked at the bookshelf that had been burned to ashes.
There were a total of 23 bookshelves on the third floor of the library. This time, the ninth bookshelf was burned from the service desk.
This was a Class I bookshelf. Most of the books on it were geography books, including travel books, geography books, and some books on religion. Now, all of them had been burned to ashes. The wooden bookshelves had been burnt into charcoal and were lying on the ground, while the books were piled up into a small mountain of black ash. Tang Mo reached out and touched the black ash.
"It's not hot."
The huckster looked at him. "It's not hot?"
Tang Mo nodded. "Yes, according to Tong Sheng, it has been a whole night since the bookshelf was burned. It is possible that it isn't hot. But in our own time flow, only half an hour has passed. Let's not talk about how such a huge bookshelf and more than ten thousand books were burned in half an hour. Just the fact that the ashes aren't hot at all … can't be explained with common sense. "
The huckster said, "This was burned by the demon. Of course, it can't be explained by science."
What happened to them was beyond the scope of theoretical science. A few more things happened and they weren't afraid of the itch.
The huckster was obviously more concerned about the problem of finding the books. He gulped in fear. "Just now, the little girl said that the angels know about the books she lost? Tang Mo, do you know any books? " After a pause, the huckster added, "I know too many books. I have been reading in your library for almost a year and I have read every book."
Tang Mo wasn't in a hurry. "I have always been responsible for the third floor's book entry project. I definitely know more than you."
The huckster looked at him and sweat rolled down his head. "Then what should we do? This is the second day. "
Tang Mo didn't answer the huckster's words. He walked around the pile of black ash. The huckster kept muttering to himself. He roughly recalled what the little girl said when she appeared but couldn't find any decisive evidence. He anxiously said, "Tang Mo, what should we do?"
"Don't worry." Tang Mo squatted in front of the ashes of the bookshelf and looked up at the huckster. The 'sunlight' outside the window shone on his face and he smiled. "The more important thing now is … why did the demon burn this bookshelf?"
The huckster was stunned.
There were 23 bookshelves. According to common sense, the probability of the demon burning the book was 3/23. The premise was that the angel didn't find the book in advance.
The huckster thought about it and explained, "The child said that the demon couldn't remember which bookshelf he hid the book in. Therefore, he should be randomly burning it."
Tang Mo casually said, "Maybe."
The huckster put his hands in his hair. "Let's hurry and find the book. If we can't find it, we will really be finished. The books I have read recently are on this bookshelf and … "The huckster paused and his expression became a bit ugly." And this burned bookshelf. Tang Mo, what about you? "
Tang Mo stood up. "I have read too many books. Every day, I have to sort out the books you have randomly placed."
The huckster looked dignified. He looked at the books on the bookshelf next to him and the ashes on the ground. He seemed like a real psychopath as he kept muttering the words of the little girl.
In fact, if it were any other normal person who encountered such a situation and had seen so many supernatural things, it was possible that they would be forced to go crazy.
Tang Mo reached into the ashes and scooped out a pile of ash. He turned to look at the huckster pacing back and forth. After a moment, he suddenly remembered. "I have recently sorted out a few bookshelves. About three days ago, the director asked me to sort out the H bookshelf. "
The huckster's footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked at Tang Mo. "Three days ago? The time is so close. Maybe it is here! "
Then the two people walked to the H bookshelf and were dumbfounded.
"There are more than 12,000 books on the H bookshelf." Tang Mo gave a rough number.
The huckster calmly asked, "What counts as finding the book? If we take out all the books on the H bookshelf and take out the correct one, does that count as finding the book? "
The rules of the game didn't introduce this. The game only said that angels could get a hint during the day and demons could burn books at night. If they directly found the correct book and handed it to Mosaic, they would definitely be able to complete the task. But if it was just taking the correct book out of the bookshelf, would it count as a success?
Tang Mo didn't think of this plan. He said, "There are more than 10,000 books. If we hurry, we might be able to take all these books out of the bookshelf in two hours."
They did it.
The huckster excitedly took out the books and Tang Mo also obediently took out the books. They divided into two groups and completed their tasks on both sides of the bookshelf. Time passed, but when night fell, Tang Mo took out a book on the history of the Qing Dynasty. He wanted to touch the next book but found that he couldn't take it out of the bookshelf.
There was darkness in front of him and the huckster said with horror, "I can't take out the book."
Tang Mo pursed his lips. "I also can't take it out."
The two of them touched the bookshelf, walked all the way back to the service desk and lit the only lamp that could be turned on.
In the dim light, Tang Mo and the huckster sat on the ground against the table, staring in the direction of the H bookshelf not far away. They couldn't see anything in the darkness at the moment but they knew that within two hours, a bookshelf would be burned. At that time, the flames would soar and they would be able to clearly see everything in the library.
In such tense and depressing times, time passed extremely slowly, every second feeling like a year.
