"Ding dong! Black tower's seventh floor main mission: Eliminate Inari from the black tower world! "
At 10 o 'clock, more and more people came to the library.
Tang Mo sat in front of the computer and helped them punch cards one by one.
His left hand kept entering the book number on the keyboard.
His right hand pressed the mouse and clicked OK. After doing all this,
He looked up. "The last book has been borrowed for almost a month. Haven't you finished reading it yet?"
In front of him was a middle-aged woman dressed in plain clothes.
She smiled and shook her head. "No, my son reads slowly. Does it matter if I don't return the book for a month? "
Tang Mo replied, "One month is free. After that, there will be a daily fee of 10 cents." He paused before adding, "If the book is lost, the original price must be compensated. This book is 82 yuan."
The woman's expression changed. "So expensive … okay, I will go home today and let the brat read the book quickly." Then she turned and left.
Tang Mo watched as the woman strode away. His handsome face didn't show much expression as he took the next person's library card and helped him swipe it.
"Haven't finished reading it? I think he lost the book. "A clear female voice was heard.
Tang Mo swiped the card.
"It might be."
There was a trace of disdain in the female voice. "The library card is 50 yuan.
The book is 82 yuan. I don't think she will come to us again. "
"I also don't think she will come again." Director Wang, who was in charge of the reception, came over.
She patted Tang Mo's shoulder.
"Xiao Tang,
Go and see what the huckster is doing. I just saw him go to the corner where there is a surveillance blind spot.
Don't let anything happen. "
Tang Mo nodded gently and walked to the corner.
Suzhou City Library was located in the city center.
There were three floors in total.
The third floor was mostly books on humanities and history. Tang Mo walked from the service desk to the southeast corner.
He passed through more than 30 bookshelves.
He looked again before finding the huckster.
Suzhou in November was already a bit cold. The cold wind outside the window made the windows shake and the sun shining through the window made people feel warm. The huckster was sitting cross-legged on the ground by the window with five or six books beside him. He didn't look at any of them as his hands were in his hair, making his messy hair even worse.
Tang Mo pursed his lips and walked over to pick up the book. "Mr. Chen, we have tables and chairs in the library. You can read over there."
"Read a book … read a book … read what book …"
Tang Mo looked at the brick book he had just picked up. "The Secret of the Mayan Civilization's Disappearance?"
The huckster suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes staring in horror. "Do you know the secret of the disappearance of the Mayan civilization?"
Tang Mo's lips curved. "I don't know. Do you know?"
"I know, of course I know." The huckster got up and said, "They have offended the Manifester of God. The Guruhan they believe in is a false god and not the Manifester of God at all. They offended God, so they all died. God is one and eternal, those who offend God must die! "
Tang Mo had heard these words countless times and didn't take them to heart. The library was open to the public and had seen too many strange things. This huckster might be strange but he wasn't mentally ill. He could only be said to be a fanatical religious person and couldn't be turned away.
Tang Mo casually asked, "Where is the real God?"
The huckster's expression suddenly froze.
Tang Mo smiled and turned to walk away with the pile of books.
He had asked the huckster this question many times. The huckster often came to the library to read books a year ago. He would talk all day and find a seat to divine the auspicious position of each day. But once the staff asked him the question 'Who is God?', he would shut up like a wilted cabbage and leave the library after a while.
Tang Mo held the books and turned to leave. The moment he turned his head, he heard a low and mysterious voice behind him. "God is there."
Tang Mo's footsteps stopped.
He turned to look.
The huckster stood by the window and pointed to the giant black tower suspended over the city. He smiled and said, "God is coming."
Tang Mo, "…"
As long as you are happy.
Tang Mo took the bus home from work every day. He sat by the window and listened to music with headphones. Just as a song ended, the voices of two female high school students on the bus entered his ears.
"Black tower! I will take a picture. "
"You still want to take a picture? What is there to take a picture of? No one wants to see it now. "
"I will take a picture and post it in my circle of friends. The title is a day trip to the black tower."
"No one will like it. Hey, the boy sitting by the window is so handsome. You might as well take a picture of him. There will be a lot of people who will like it and maybe you can become an internet celebrity. Call it … Bus Little Brother! Hurry up and take a picture. "
The next song started and Tang Mo raised his right hand to cover his face. He turned to look out the window and ignored the two girls. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the giant black tower suspended over Suzhou.
Among the tall buildings of the city, a giant black tower stood high in the air. The tower was in the shape of a quadrangle, similar to the Egyptian pyramids. But it wasn't gold, it was black. Its base spanned across the entire center of Suzhou, almost covering the entire city under its scope. The cold moonlight passed through the black tower and shone on the ground, unobstructed.
Half a year ago, the tower suddenly appeared in the centre of Suzhou. Tang Mo had just arrived at the library to work and left in a hurry in the morning. He didn't watch the news and once he went to the street, all of Suzhou exploded.
The bus was gone and he couldn't even stop a taxi.
All the cars were crazily driving towards the city centre. Tang Mo was still a bit sleepy and couldn't figure out the situation. He looked up and saw the huge black tower.
All the sleepiness disappeared at this moment.
Tang Mo almost thought that it was 2012 and the end of the world was coming.
How could there be such a big thing?
He didn't see it when he got off work last night. How could it suddenly appear there?
At first, Tang Mo wondered if this was a national construction. During that time, the Internet often praised the country's infrastructure for being very good. An overpass could be built in one night, which made foreigners envious. It wasn't until he finally took a taxi to the city centre and looked up in the crowd. The tower was completely suspended in the air!
Completely suspended! It was at least 100 metres from the ground!
How could humans build castles in the air?
The big LED screen in the city centre was playing the news. "At 8 o 'clock in the morning Beijing time, 1,021 strange black towers appeared over major cities and oceans in China. It is reported that at the same time, the black towers appeared on a large scale around the world. Please don't panic. The country has set up a relevant department to investigate the black tower incident. We have invited Professor Luo from the Department of Physics at Peking University to explain the black tower incident to us. We are now connected to Professor Luo … "
World! World! End! Day!
Everyone panicked. Tang Mo couldn't go to work for two days. Countless people fled to the countryside, the further away from the black tower the better. However, the country maintained social operations very well. Three days later, Tang Mo received a notice to go back to work. Another week later, many people saw that the black tower wasn't moving and returned.
Today, six months later, the black towers had become a kind of tourist attraction.
A few months ago, people in white research suits came to the black tower every day and moved some large instruments. It was unknown what they were checking. Now they would only check once every three days and the shops near the black tower had resumed operation.
Tang Mo supported his chin with one hand and stared calmly at the black tower. The bus turned a corner and the black tower was left behind, never to be seen again.
In the evening, Tang Mo casually ate a meal. Then he turned on the computer and logged into QQ. A chat box popped up.
[Victor: Sorry, I have been very busy recently. I might not have time to play together.]
Tang Mo looked at the chat record. He sent a message last week and only replied today. It seemed that he was really busy.
[Mo Tang: It doesn't matter. We will play together in the future when we have time.]
After sending the message, Tang Mo opened the bridge software. Who knew that Victor would be online this time and soon got a reply.
[Victor: Let's play a game. I just happen to have some time.]
[Mo Tang: Okay [smiling face]]
Tang Mo invited Victor into the room and the game soon began.
Tang Mo had been playing bridge for five years. In his freshman year, he had a roommate who was very addicted to bridge. He said that it was a game that tested IQ and was very pretentious. He pulled Tang Mo into the pit. However, within a month, the roommate went to play other things while Tang Mo quietly continued to play bridge for five years.
Midway through the game, Tang Mo found an opportunity to seal the deal. His eyes flashed and he hadn't played a card when he saw Victor suddenly play a K of clubs. Tang Mo's heart froze. Once Victor's card was played, it killed his chance to seal the deal.
Did Victor make a mistake?
Bridge was a 2v2 game. Tang Mo met Victor online a year ago and the two of them had a tacit understanding. Victor's card skills were no worse than Tang Mo's. However, Victor had been very busy in the past six months and hadn't played in the past two months. It wasn't impossible for him to be rusty.
Tang Mo looked at the numbers on both sides and suddenly realized, "Does he want a grand slam?"
Tang Mo's lips curved into a faint smile as he calmly played a card.
Half an hour later, the game was over and Tang Mo opened QQ.
[Mo Tang: GJ, it is as good as before.]
[Victor: GJ.]
[Mo Tang: [smiling face]]
Victor didn't answer for a long time. Tang Mo guessed that he was busy and didn't speak again. He opened a game of bridge. Once he finished, he saw a message from Victor. [I remember you once said that there is a black tower next to your work?]
[Mo Tang: Yes, it is about 200 metres away. What's wrong?]
[Victor: Go there less recently. There might be some problems.]
Seeing this sentence, Tang Mo suddenly remembered this morning when the huckster pointed to the black tower and vowed that 'God is coming.' Victor and the huckster …
Tang Mo couldn't help laughing for a long time before sending a message back. [I didn't expect you to be in the 'dangerous black tower faction'? However, I work nearby and might not be able to go there less.]
Victor didn't force it. He said a few more words before suddenly saying that he was busy. The two of them said goodbye and went offline.
The next day, the huckster didn't come to work. Director Wang was surprised and pulled Tang Mo over. "The huckster didn't come today? I saw him clock in even more frequently than I did. Did something happen to him that he didn't come? "
Tang Mo replied, "Maybe there is something at home."
Director Wang waved his hand. "Hey, it is better if he doesn't come. Otherwise, I will have to find someone to look after him. Xiao Tang, Xiao Zhao, you have to work hard today. Find time to sort out the G books. "
Sorting out books was something librarians had to do every day. This position wasn't as leisurely as outsiders thought. Xiao Zhao was going on a blind date at night. The little girl looked at Tang Mo and Tang Mo said, "You go back first. I will do it alone."
Xiao Zhao said gratefully, "Thank you, Tang Mo. I will help you work overtime next time."
Tang Mo nodded gently and didn't say anything.
After working overtime until 10 o 'clock in the evening, Tang Mo left the library and took the last bus.
There were very few people on the last bus. Apart from the driver, there was only Tang Mo and a middle-aged uncle. The uncle was sitting in a chair and sleeping. Tang Mo's phone was out of battery and he looked out the window in boredom.
Many shopping malls in the city center were closed at this time. The November night was very cold and there were few people on the street. The moonlight shone down coldly. Tang Mo looked at the flashing neon signs. The bus turned a corner and the huge black tower suddenly came into view.
After looking at it for half a year, Tang Mo, like many people, no longer had any interest in the tower. He just watched calmly.
Suddenly, he saw a small bug. It might be a bird but it was too far away to see clearly. Under the moonlight, this small black thing flashed in the air and flew towards the black tower. Tang Mo watched carelessly as the little thing flew to the side of the black tower and foolishly continued to fly forward, heading towards the black tower.
Then it seemed to hit something and suddenly fell to the ground.
Tang Mo watched as the bus turned another corner and the black tower disappeared behind him.
The name of the next stop was heard. Tang Mo placed his left hand on the window and thought about what to eat tonight. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he quickly turned his head. His whole body leaned against the window, wanting to see the black tower again. However, the bus had already gone far and it was impossible to see the black tower behind him.
Tang Mo's heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat. After a long time, he calmed his heart.
"… It should be a mistake, right? The black tower is a phantom caused by optical pollution and has no entity. "
This was the current mainstream view of society. Many people didn't believe it but at least the black tower didn't have any entity. It could only be seen and couldn't be touched.
Tang Mo closed his eyes, wanting to forget the scene. However, the scene kept replaying in his mind and he couldn't forget it until he went to sleep. He couldn't sleep until the middle of the night.
The next day, it was already 7: 30 in the morning. Tang Mo seized the time to get up and brush his teeth. He had to catch the eight o 'clock bus. He quickly put on his clothes, picked up his backpack and left. The moment his hand touched the door handle, a sweet and smooth music was suddenly heard.
Jingle jingle, jingle jingle, jingle jingle jingle …
Tang Mo turned his head with astonishment and didn't find the source of the sound in the room. The song 'Jingle Bells' kept ringing. There were no lyrics but everyone knew what it was.
Tang Mo listened carefully to the sound and couldn't find where it came from. It seemed to be coming from all directions.
The next moment, Tang Mo's body froze. He ran to the window at a speed he never had before and looked at the black tower in the centre of Suzhou. He saw the giant tower shining with a colourful light that constantly changed with the tone of the nursery rhyme. Once the last note fell, the colourful light disappeared and everything was silent again.
A child-like voice was heard. It had the unique high-pitched voice of a child, sharp and loud.
"Ding dong! November 15th, 2017, the earth is online. "
Lin Qiao walked to the remains of the little girl's bones and sighed. She took off her trench coat and covered the pool of blood. Li Bin also walked to the cook's body, moved it to a corner and covered the cook's face with a coat.
From the little girl's violent actions to the cook being killed by a match and the big mole eating the little girl's body.
Everything took only five minutes.
The black tower prompted everyone to complete the second branch mission and 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 mentally retarded mode. The only thing you have to do is survive. Do you 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 is a bit scary …"
Tang Mo looked at him. "You don't want it? Can I see it? "He was very interested in this kind of 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 rang 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 sun stung his eyes. Tang Mo was like a drowning person, gasping for 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 that he had experienced in the underground cave seemed to be replaying in front of his eyes. 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 had been driving. Now he was back …
"Where is Li Wen?"
Tang Mo drove the car back and didn'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 out a book from the air and opened it to the third page.
[Ability: Draw a circle to curse you.]
[Owner: Li Bin (official player)]
[Type: Special type]
[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 of the cursed target.]
[Note: Tang Mo didn't even give money for the flashlight. He is simply shameless!]
Tang Mo, "…"
Tang Mo's fingers creaked as he squeezed the page. 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. That way, 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 without giving money.'
But as long as he took the flashlight, he would eat 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 words appeared behind the remarks. He looked down.
[Note: Draw a circle to curse you (User: Li Bin). Has worked.]
"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 took a closer look.
"…"
The turkey egg didn't crack but the steering wheel was smashed!
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's not from me." After saying this, the big mole suddenly relaxed. It smiled sinisterly and started to dig the ground with its claws.
