"Ding dong! The black tower's seventh floor main mission: Eliminate Inari from the black tower world! "
When Tang Mo tricked Qian Sankun into letting him go to the trunk to get his clothes, he deliberately used the trunk lock to test the hardness of his skin. The palm of the hand was one of the most delicate parts of the body.
The sharp lock scratched his palm.
There was no wound left.
Even the pain wasn't obvious. Thus, Tang Mo decisively fought back against Qian Sankun. It was because of the improvement in his physical condition that Qian Sankun's knife couldn't pierce his bones.
It only left a blood mark.
On the other hand, his psychological quality had improved.
Tang Mo had never won a certificate for being a good student since he was a child.
But he hadn't done anything bad. He was a petty thief.
He didn't even bother to cheat in exams.
This was the first time he killed someone.
Even if it was self-defense,
He accidentally killed Qian Sankun and he also killed someone.
But apart from that moment of panic and helplessness,
He quickly calmed down and thought about what to do next.
He didn't know if he had become cold-blooded because of the sudden change in his body.
Or was it just like this?
Tang Mo glanced at the book on the passenger seat and turned his eyes away.
He looked calmly ahead.
He continued to drive.
The one-hour drive was stretched infinitely because he had to clear the road. The sky was white and Tang Mo had just entered the Shanghai boundary. He hadn't gotten off the highway yet. There were still two kilometres to the toll booth.
Seven cars had rear-ended each other and blocked the highway.
Tang Mo got off the car.
He started to push the car.
Creak —
The highway was empty and deserted.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground was clear and loud. The seven cars had rear-ended seriously.
The four cars in front had been crushed into discs.
The fence in the middle of the highway was knocked down. Tang Mo moved the cars from the back to the front. It took him a long time before he finally moved to the first car.
"Is it a luxury car?" Tang Mo smiled.
The first car was a Maserati sports car. The fiery red body of the car had been smashed into pieces. After all, it was a luxury car. The tires were still embedded in the wheels and didn't roll around.
The cold autumn wind blew and Tang Mo pushed the Maserati away. Just as he was about to open his car door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and frowned. "Who is it?"
What answered him was the rustling of the wind.
Tang Mo didn't open the door. He stood next to the car and pressed his finger against the match tattoo on his wrist. He asked coldly, "Who is there?"
Still, no one appeared.
Tang Mo wasn't in a hurry as he walked towards the pushed Maserati. His footsteps were light and his body was tense. He was alert to any changes that might occur. He placed his hand on the Maserati's damaged body and was about to pull it open when he suddenly heard a trembling voice. "Don't, I … I'll come out, I'll come out myself. I mean no harm. "
Tang Mo looked up at the young man coming out from behind the Maserati.
It was a black-haired youth who was about 180 centimeters tall. He wore a thin white shirt and jeans. His clothes were torn and stained with blood. There were also several wounds on his body, but they were all scabbed and no longer bleeding.
In the cold wind, the man's lips were cold and purple. He raised his hands and walked out from behind the car, looking at Tang Mo with horror.
"I'm the owner of this car. I mean no harm. I just saw you push the car. If I wanted to attack you, I would have done it while you were pushing the car. "
Tang Mo looked at him for a moment before asking, "Why didn't I find you when I pushed the car?"
The young man said, "I just hid under the highway. It is too cold here. There is a lot of grass there and it is a little warmer. I was driving from Nanjing to Shanghai yesterday morning. As I approached Shanghai, the cars behind me hit me for some reason. When I woke up, I found that I was thrown out the window but I didn't die. Then I found … "There was a trace of fear on his face." I found that there was no one in the rear-end cars, not even a drop of blood! "
Tang Mo looked at him lightly and didn't relax his vigilance. "They disappeared. When the black tower announced the start of the game, you might have been in a coma because of the car accident. Now there are less than 500 million people left in the world. The others … "Tang Mo pointed to the rear-end cars." They disappeared inexplicably like them. "
The young man's eyes widened with fright and he shivered in the cold wind. He looked at the cars that rear-ended him and then at Tang Mo, whispering, "My home is in Shanghai. You are going to Shanghai. You … can you take me with you? I just saw that you are very strong and can push these cars away. Take me with you. I will give you money when I go back. I will give you as much as you want. "
Tang Mo listened to this and smiled softly.
The young man looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Tang Mo said, "I am going to Shanghai. It is fine to take you with me. But do you think that money is useful in this world? "
The young man was startled and his face gradually turned pale. He seemed to understand what kind of world he was about to face.
Tang Mo got in the car and the young man sat in the front passenger seat. Tang Mo quietly took the book from the car seat and put it on the inside of his seat. He had just put the book away when it slowly disappeared. Tang Mo was slightly surprised but soon calmed down and drove to Shanghai with the young man.
"My name is Li Wen." The young man wrapped the coat that Tang Mo lent him and shivered. "Thank you very much. I woke up less than two hours ago and ran to the toll booth in front of me. There was no one there. I didn't know what to do and returned to my car. It didn't take long for me to see you. You are really strong. My trench coat was in the car but the car was crushed and I couldn't take it out. I almost froze to death. "
"My name is Tang Mo." Tang Mo asked seemingly casually, "Are you not strong?"
Li Wen shook his head. "It shouldn't be very strong. In any case, I couldn't push away those cars and I couldn't take out my trench coat."
"But you didn't die, right?"
Li Wen stared blankly at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo drove with one hand and said lightly, "You survived such a big car accident and didn't lose an arm or a leg … don't you think it's strange?"
Li Wen was stunned.
Tang Mo didn't say anything more and Li Wen lowered his head, thinking about something. However, his expression was revealed on his face. Tang Mo glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and knew that this person must be thinking about what happened to his body. How could his recovery ability be so strong and he didn't die?
Tang Mo seemed to be driving easily but his attention was on Li Wen.
At this time, it was safest to be alone but it was better to have a companion. Li Wen should be like him, participating in a black tower game and surviving to win. Tang Mo didn't dare take such a person lightly. However, based on his observation, Li Wen seemed to be a silly rich second generation and wasn't a threat.
In addition, if he really let the other person continue to foolishly stay on the highway, Tang Mo really felt that … this person might die.
Li Wen asked, "Tang Mo, can you tell me what the black tower announced when I was unconscious?"
Tang Mo briefly explained the black tower incident.
"Are you going to Shanghai to find relatives? I am very familiar with Shanghai. Do you need help? "Li Wen asked.
Tang Mo had been to Shanghai several times but he wasn't a local and it was more difficult to find people. He said, "I am going to Shibei Li to find a student. I only know her name and plan to go to the school to find her file. If she isn't at school, then I will go to her home. "If neither place was there, then there was nothing he could do. This was the only thing he could do for the huckster.
Tang Mo didn't say that he was going to find a friend. Everyone had to have reservations and he hadn't confided in Li Wen yet.
Li Wen said, "Shibei Li? It is in the Jing 'an District. My home is in the Jing' an District and I went to junior high school there. I will accompany you. It will be convenient. "
Tang Mo looked at Li Wen with a strange expression.
Was he really stupid or was he so deep that people couldn't figure out what he was thinking?
Tang Mo thought about it and felt that it was likely the former.
Li Wen put on his coat and his body warmed up. He spoke more.
"We will get off the highway and pass through Shibei Li first. We will go in and find someone. Do you know which class the child is in? If you know the class, it will be easier to find the file. "
Tang Mo replied, "I only know her name. Yes, she is in the first grade. "
Li Wen nodded. "It will be easier to find if she is in the first grade."
After a few more words, Li Wen hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Can I ask Tang Mo, do you know … what is going on with the black tower? Why did some people disappear and others didn't? "
He said so much but in the end, he just wanted to ask this question.
Li Wen had been in a coma since the car accident. He was missing a whole day compared to Tang Mo and had a lot less information. He helped Tang Mo to thank the other party for bringing him back to Shanghai. On the other hand, he wanted to obtain information and know his current situation.
However, he asked this question, indicating that he probably hadn't participated in the black tower game.
Tang Mo frowned slightly.
People who didn't participate in the game could survive? He licked his lips and thought for a moment, thinking about how to answer Li Wen. He was just about to open his mouth when a loud and cheerful song rang through Shanghai.
“Thank-you，
thank-you，
Let’s
day！”
The cheerful and joyful song was incompatible with the dead city but it still kept singing. Tang Mo braked directly. Li Wen raised his head in panic and looked at the huge black tower suspended over the centre of Shanghai. Tang Mo braked directly and Li Wen raised his head in panic, looking at the huge black tower suspended over the center of Shanghai.
Tang Mo directly braked and Li Wen looked up in panic at the huge black tower suspended over the centre of Shanghai. Tang Mo held his breath and stared at the black tower.
Then he heard —
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway Fu Wenduo has successfully opened the black tower's first floor. In three minutes, all players in China will start to attack the tower! "
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway Fu Wenduo has successfully opened … "
"Ding dong! China District 1's stowaway Fu Wenduo … "
The black tower broadcasted the information three times for the first time.
Tang Mo's eyes widened as the words' start to attack the tower 'echoed in his ears. The next moment, his eyes went black and he fell.
"Ding dong! Within three days, please eliminate any player, including but not limited to the game method. "
The clear child's voice was heard at the same time.
Tang Mo stood on the balcony and stared at the tower without blinking. The cold autumn wind blew across his face, and a drop of sweat the size of a bean slid down his forehead. He stared at the black tower but it was calm again. The blue text disappeared and the child's voice disappeared. It was as if nothing was different from before.
Half an hour later, Tang Mo arrived at the entrance of the library. Countless people crowded around the black tower and even blocked the road in front of the library.
The noisy and crowded crowd blocked the city center. Tang Mo watched for a while before turning to the library.
10 minutes later, Director Wang went to the service desk. "Go home today and don't go to work. Wait for the notice at home."
Xiao Zhao excitedly came over and couldn't help asking, "Director, is it related to the black tower? The black tower made a sound this morning. Did you hear it? What the hell is going on? Where did this thing come from? Is it really the end of the world? "
Director Wang's face suddenly became serious. "What is the end of the world? What nonsense. You young people shouldn't talk nonsense all day and look at those messy things. "
Xiao Zhao was the youngest girl in the library, born in 1996. There was a hint of fear in her round eyes but there was more surprise and curiosity. Once Director Wang left, she said, "Tang Mo, you also heard it. The black tower spoke. It said something about going online and being eliminated."
Tang Mo packed his things and went home. He was upset and casually said, "I didn't pay attention."
"Do you think this is the end of the world? I don't think so. If it is really the end of the world, where are the zombies? The black tower said that it wants to eliminate players. Is it going to turn us into zombies? Is this a conspiracy of the country? No, the Internet said that the black tower appeared all over the world and it spoke today. Which country can be so bad? Even the United States can't do it. "
Tang Mo really wasn't in the mood to discuss this kind of thing. He didn't know why but after hearing the black tower speak and seeing the line of words that appeared on the black tower, his heart started beating fast.
The normal heartbeat of an adult was between 60 and 100 per minute. Tang Mo had counted it when Xiao Zhao spoke.
His heartbeat was now 130.
However, he didn't feel uncomfortable. His heart was just very flustered, as if something was wrong.
Tang Mo raised his head and looked left and right. The service desk was in the middle of the reading room and there were bookshelves all around. The left side was filled with humanities books and the right side was filled with history books. He didn't know what he was looking at. Wherever he looked, the sun shone through the window and tiny particles of dust danced in the air.
"Tang Mo!" A loud female voice awakened Tang Mo from his state of absent-mindedness. There was some dissatisfaction in Xiao Zhao's tone. "I just called you several times. What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking? "
Tang Mo reached out and wiped his face. His palms were wet and he turned to look at his colleague. "… Nothing."
His heart beat faster.
Xiao Zhao picked up her bag. "I want to see the black tower. Do you want to go with me? When I entered the library, I saw a lot of people there. We are going the same way anyway. Do you want to go together? "
Tang Mo quickly shook his head. "I'm going home."
Xiao Zhao didn't seem happy because of what just happened. She waved her hand and left the library.
However, Xiao Zhao wasn't able to visit the black tower. Once Tang Mo left the library, a group of armed police got out of the car and evacuated the crowd around the black tower. They surrounded the black tower with white plastic sheets. The white plastic wall surrounded the door of the library, blocking the black tower and preventing people from entering.
Many people stood outside the wall and took pictures of the black tower with their mobile phones.
Tang Mo took a photo and got on a taxi to go home.
On the Internet, the black tower incident had become a hot topic all over the world.
Tang Mo lay in bed and scrolled through his circle of friends. His college classmates who studied in Japan and the United States had sent photos. The text on the black tower was no longer Chinese but Japanese and English.
Tang Mo couldn't climb over the wall but his classmate who studied in the United States replied several times.
[Yes, it isn't Chinese. It is speaking English! I was scared to death. Our school is closed and many people are wandering in the streets to the White House. They want the government to give an explanation.]
[It is too difficult to buy a ticket to the airport. I can't buy a ticket to return home. My roommate has money and will return home in the afternoon.]
[When it spoke, it was still night and there was a nursery rhyme. My friend has a video and I will upload it.]
Tang Mo opened the new video sent by his classmate. A familiar black tower was suspended next to the Lincoln Memorial. It flashed with a colourful light and was particularly eye-catching in the dark. The song wasn't Jingle Bells but it was clearly a nursery rhyme. After the song finished, the same clear and high-pitched child's voice spoke in English.
Ding dong! On November 15th, 2017, the earth went online.
What was going on?
Tang Mo anxiously threw his phone on the bed.
