Report

"Ding dong! The black tower's seventh floor main mission: Eliminate Inari from the black tower world! "

If he was given a little more time,

He would be able to attack the tower later.

He might be able to make a more thorough preparation.

… So why was he attacking the tower in advance now?

The name of the stowaway who started the tower attack game flashed in Tang Mo's mind.

However, he didn't have time to complain.

He calmly asked, "Who is the stowaway? How do we find him and give him to you?"

Li Wen and Lin Qiao's eyes widened at the same time as they stared at Tang Mo.

Luo Fengcheng glanced at him and didn't speak. The little girl, Peng Liwen, looked at Tang Mo with a pale face.

Her eyes flickered as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Lin Qiao couldn't help saying, "Are you really going to hand him over? This mole said that it wants to eat people … "

Tang Mo looked indifferent and asked, "Then are you going to replace the stowaway as its dinner?"

Lin Qiao choked for a moment.

Luo Fengcheng's faint voice was heard. "The stowaway is a murderer.

Perhaps he was forced to kill someone.

Perhaps he killed someone due to excessive self-defense. In the outside world, the law might not sentence him to death.

However, the black tower hates stowaways.

It has already sentenced him to death. We just want to find the stowaway. The other things have nothing to do with us. "

Li Bin's expression changed.

He nodded. "Yes, yes … we just want to find out who the stowaway is."

The big mole smiled. "How do I know which stowaway is? My cave isn't big enough.

You humans are gathered together and the smell of stowaways is floating all over the cave.

I can't find him. I will give you an hour.

Find the hateful stowaway. If I can't find him, I will eat a human an hour.

I will definitely eat the stowaway. "The big mole looked at Tang Mo." Oh yes.

You have a good relationship with Mosaic.

You also lent me the match … then I will eat you in the end. "

Tang Mo didn't react much to this gift.

The big mole looked at Tang Mo's indifferent appearance and smiled again. It ran to the corner and started digging. It seemed to want to dig its own cave. It dug two pieces and turned its head. "It has been two minutes. Have you found the stowaway?"

Everyone listened to the words of the big mole and broke out in a cold sweat.

Li Bin glanced at everyone, gritted his teeth, and asked, "I'll ask you one more time. During those three days, who among you … killed someone?"

Without a doubt, everyone shook their head.

"I knew it would be like this." From the moment they entered the cave, this white-collared elite had been the leader, and now was no exception. Li Bin pretended to be calm and started to analyze the situation. "The mole said that the stowaways eliminated the players by killing them in the three days. The stowaways must have an ability and there was a stench on their bodies. I don't smell it. Do you smell it? "

Lin Qiao shook her head. My sense of smell has always been very sensitive. There's only the smell of soil here. "

Everyone said no. Li Bin's face turned ugly. "Maybe we humans can't smell it. Only they can. Damn, how can we find the stowaways? "

Luo Fengcheng said, "Stowaways have killed people and have abilities."

Because the cook had been unconscious for a long time, he had not heard the big mole's popular science and could not keep up with everyone's rhythm. "Murder?! Arcana? Wait, what the hell is going on? "

Everyone didn't have time to explain to him. Li Bin asked, "They have killed people and have abilities. So? "Li Bin suddenly turned to look at Tang Mo." You must have an ability! "

Tang Mo had just made the big match appear out of thin air. That definitely wasn't a human's ability.

Li Wen explained to Tang Mo, "The big mole said that there are two official players, four reserve players and one stowaway among the seven of us. Official players log into the black tower to participate in the black tower's official game. Tang Mo should be an official player. He knows a person called Mosaic who knows the big mole and must be related to the black tower game. "

Tang Mo said, "I really did participate in the black tower game. According to the big mole, I am an official player."

Li Bin shook his head. "Before today, you might have participated in the black tower game but no one can guarantee that you participated in the black tower game in those three days. It has been four days since the black tower issued the 'earth online' announcement. Who can be sure that you didn't play the game on the fourth day and killed people in those three days? "

Tang Mo suddenly felt a bit funny. He was about to refute when he heard Luo Fengcheng say, "He is an official player. The black tower hates stowaways because they have a smell. If he wasn't an official player then he would have been discovered by the mole's companion, Mosaic, before he saw the big mole. He wouldn't have lived to this day and obtained Mosaic's match. "

Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng with surprise and the latter also looked at him.

The two of them didn't speak again and the others understood. Li Bin said, "It makes sense. There is a 90% chance that you are an official player. There is also a 10% chance that you are a stowaway. I don't know what method you used to hide your smell and it wasn't discovered by Mosaic. "

Li Bin suddenly walked to the middle of the seven people and looked seriously at everyone. "Now I will confess. I am the second official player."

Tang Mo was a bit surprised.

Li Bin smiled bitterly and raised his right hand. "My ability is very weak. I don't want to reveal too much but in the current situation, it is useless. However, I can hide the effect of my ability for you. "

Abilities were everyone's secret and it was understandable that they didn't want to reveal it.

Li Bin squatted on the ground and stretched out his right finger to draw a circle on the ground. A smooth and smooth curve gradually appeared on the ground. It was a very neat circle and the last stroke fell on the starting point. From beginning to end, it formed a perfect and closed circle.

This was a circle drawn purely by his fingers without any tools.

Lin Qiao's eyes widened. "So round? Your ability shouldn't be able to draw a circle without a compass, right? "

What kind of ability was this?

Tang Mo frowned slightly. "This circle might be too neat but it doesn't mean that you have an ability. You might be a professional painter."

Li Bin said, "Then look again."

She saw Li Bin stretch out his finger and draw another circle next to the previous circle. Again and again, it was full and smooth. This circle was also an extremely perfect circle, and upon closer inspection, it was also a perfect circle.

"Ah! Isn't this the same size as the circle just now? "Lin Qiao was shocked.

Li Bin had a helpless expression. "I don't want to say what my ability is but I think you should believe that I have an ability. I am the remaining official player. "

"You … you have an ability. Why can't you be a stowaway?" The little girl, Peng Liwen, stood behind Lin Qiao and spoke timidly, her face pale.

Li Bin said, "I took the initiative to say that I am an official player. Can I still be a stowaway? Child, if you are a stowaway, you will definitely hide it and don't let others know that you have an ability. Among the seven of us, this brother is the safest. "He pointed to Tang Mo." He is most likely an official player. The big mole said that reserve players can also have an ability but the probability is very low. We will pretend that he doesn't have one. Then there is a 50% chance that the next person with an ability is a stowaway. "

Li Bin analyzed seriously. "In this case, I took the initiative to stand up and expose my ability to you. Can this prove that I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow? "

Li Wen stood next to Tang Mo and interjected, "You might be using our reverse thinking."

Li Bin said, "In that case, let the third person with an ability stand up. As long as he dares to stand up, he must be a stowaway. I know that I haven't killed anyone but I have participated in games. This little brother is also an official player. The third person with an ability is definitely a stowaway! "

Tang Mo said, "I believe you."

Li Bin had been very calm just now, but in fact, his lips had been slightly trembling the whole time. Now that he heard Tang Mo's words, he trembled with excitement and walked directly to Tang Mo's side. "Brother, thank you. I'm really an official player. I can tell you all the games I've played. I can tell you how I won that game. You can tell me everything. "

Tang Mo smiled and shook his head. "You don't have to say it specifically. Everyone has to say it."

In the gloomy underground cave, the big mole crunched the earth and whistled happily.

The seven people gathered together before talking about their experiences in the past three days.

Luo Fengcheng seriously glanced at everyone's face and said, "I roughly divide all the killings in the world into three types."

"The first type is unexpected. This is the most common reason for killing. Many times, people are emotional and can't control themselves. They might accidentally kill someone or they might be overly defensive or accidentally kill someone. This is an unintentional mistake. If the stowaway among us accidentally killed someone, when the big mole explained the definition of a stowaway, he would feel uneasy. He would feel that he had been exposed, and he would feel guilty about it. "

Li Wen was startled. "Ah, why didn't you say it earlier? It has been so long. Who knows what everyone's reaction was at the time? "

Tang Mo said, "I noticed. At the time, everyone's reaction was normal and they weren't too excited. "

Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo. "He is right."

Since entering the cave, Tang Mo hadn't relaxed his vigilance. After experiencing a life and death game, Tang Mo couldn't trust these strange 'teammates.'

Luo Fengcheng continued, "There is an 80% possibility that the stowaway among us didn't commit an accidental crime. He knew he was killing people and did it deliberately. The second type of killing is the brutal type. If he simply wants to kill people, the reason is to satisfy his various abnormal psychological or physical needs. "

Everyone touched their necks and felt a bit cold.

This kind of murderer wasn't uncommon. Serial killers basically belonged to this type.

However, Tang Mo frowned.

He heard Luo Fengcheng finally say, "I think the stowaway among us should belong to the third type. He deliberately killed people but didn't have the intention to kill. He knew he was killing people but he wasn't a bloodthirsty person. He had his own reasons for killing people. Thus, he wasn't surprised when he was exposed because he already knew what he did and why he did it. "

Li Wen gulped. "… I also think there shouldn't be such an anti-social crazy murderer among us."

Lin Qiao felt a bit cold. "I also agree. It should be the third type. "

Tang Mo had been quietly listening to Luo Fengcheng's words. Then he walked in front of Luo Fengcheng and smiled. "What you said really makes sense. Then can we continue our previous topic? Let's start with you. Mr. Luo, what did you do in those three days? Are you really a game designer? Where do you work? "

Luo Fengcheng raised his head slightly and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him.

Tang Mo's expression wasn't too aggressive but his eyes were mixed with a hint of doubt and questioning.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time.

Luo Fengcheng took out a certificate from his pocket and handed it over. "In those three days, I was conducting black tower research experiments under the black tower. Let me formally introduce myself. I am the leader of the Black Tower Research Institute's Shanghai Division A Group, Luo Fengcheng. "

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 isn't hot."

The huckster looked at him. "It isn't hot?"

Tang Mo nodded. "Yes, according to the child's voice, 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 angel knows 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 beads of sweat rolled down his head. "Then what should we do? It is already 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 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 books was 3/23. The premise was that the angel didn't find the books in advance.

The huckster thought about it and explained, "The child said that the demon couldn't remember which bookshelf he hid the books in. Therefore, he should be randomly burning them."

Tang Mo casually said, "Maybe."

The huckster put his hands in his hair. "Let's hurry and find the books. If we can't find them, 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 had a dignified expression. 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 bookshelves. "

The huckster's footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked at Tang Mo. "Three days ago? It is so close. Maybe it is here! "

However, the two of them 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, will it count as finding the book? "

The rules of the game didn't introduce this. The game only said that the angel could get a hint during the day and the demon 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 would do it.
