"Ding dong! Black tower's seventh floor main mission: Eliminate Inari from the black tower world! "
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 while his right hand pressed the mouse to confirm. 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 10 cent borrowing fee every day. "
He paused and added, "If the book is lost, the original price must be compensated. This book is 82 yuan."
The woman's expression changed. "So expensive … okay.
When I go home today, I will let that brat read the book quickly. "Then she turned and left.
Tang Mo watched as the woman strode away.
There wasn't much expression on his handsome face as he took the next person's library card and helped him swipe it.
"Haven't finished reading? I think he lost the book. "A clear female voice was heard.
Tang Mo swiped the card and said, "Maybe."
There was a trace of disdain in the female voice. "The library card is 50 yuan and 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 and patted Tang Mo's shoulder. "Little Tang.
Go and see what the huckster is doing. I just saw him go to the corner. That 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. 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 around again.
He found the huckster.
November in Suzhou was already a bit cold. The cold wind outside the window made the windows shake and the sun shone through the window, making 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 at all. 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 it had seen too many strange people. Although this fraud was strange, he wasn't mentally ill. He could only be said to be a fanatical religious person, so he couldn't be rejected.
Tang Mo casually said, "Then where is the real God?"
The huckster's expression suddenly froze.
Tang Mo smiled and held the pile of books, intending to turn and walk away.
He had asked the huckster this question many times. The huckster often came to the library to read books a year ago. He talked all day long and would find a seat to divine the auspicious position every 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 suddenly stopped.
He turned to look.
The huckster stood by the window and pointed to the black tower suspended over the city. He smiled and said, "God is coming."
Tang Mo, "…"
As long as you are happy.
The bus Tang Mo took home from work every day passed through the city center. He sat by the window and listened to music with headphones. Just as a song ended, the sound of two female high school students discussing in the car entered his ears.
"Black tower! I want to take a picture. "
"You still want to take a picture? What is there to take a picture of? No one wants to look at it now. "
"Just take a picture. Post it in your 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. 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, ignoring the two girls. He raised his gaze slightly, looking at the giant black tower floating above Suzhou.
Among the tall buildings of the city, a giant black tower stood tall in mid-air. The tower was in the shape of a quadrangle, similar to the Egyptian pyramids. However, 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 without any obstruction.
Half a year ago, the tower suddenly appeared in the city center of Suzhou. Tang Mo had just arrived at the library 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 heading to the city center. 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 got a taxi to the city center 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 center was playing the news. "At 8 o 'clock in the morning Beijing time, 1,021 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. Now we are 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 was notified to go back to work. Another week later, many people saw that there was no movement from the black tower and returned.
It wasn't until six months later that the black tower 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, no longer visible.
In the evening, Tang Mo casually ate a meal. Then he turned on the computer and logged into QQ, a chat box popping 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, less than a month later, the roommate went to play other things while Tang Mo quietly continued to play bridge for five years.
Halfway through the game, Tang Mo found an opportunity to make a 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 weren't 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 can't 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 in the evening. 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.
He worked 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 looked at it calmly.
Suddenly, he saw a small bug. It might be a bird but he couldn't see it clearly because it was too far away. Under the moonlight, this little 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 doesn't have a physical body. "
This was the mainstream view of society. Many people didn't believe it but at least the black tower didn't have any physical body. It could only be seen and couldn't be touched.
Tang Mo closed his eyes, wanting to forget the scene just now. However, the scene kept replaying in his mind and he couldn't forget it until he went to bed at night. It caused him to suffer from insomnia until he fell asleep in 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 8 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 song it was.
Tang Mo listened carefully to the sound and couldn't find the source. 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. "
It no longer paid attention to the remaining five players. The five of them couldn't take the initiative to provoke such a monster.
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 the 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 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 is 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 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 wasn't from me." After saying this, the big mole relaxed a lot. It smiled sinisterly and started to dig the ground with its claws.
"I've eaten such a delicious turkey today. It's such a good deal. 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, saying 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 … ahhhh!!! 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 had shockingly lost its 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 terrible 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. With a calm expression, 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 this stowaway and hid behind him, the two wouldn't have fought. If it hadn't fought, 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 prompted it to clear the instance. The man's figure suddenly disappeared and the turkey fell to the ground.
"Coo 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 him. A sizzling sound was heard from his broken right leg. His leg was actually growing a little bit of meat.
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.
