In almost an instant,
Tang Mo understood where this man learned that he had the king's gold coin.
After entering Pinocchio's Honest Card Game,
Tang Mo had been very careful, trying not to expose his strength. No one knew what kind of companions and enemies would appear in the same instance. Caution was the most important thing. Thus, when Pinocchio said that the king's gold coin could abstain from a black tower game,
He was the same as Zhao Wenbin and the others.
They showed surprise and joy.
It should've been at that time that this person discovered something was wrong.
However, all of this was just his conjecture.
No one knew if Tang Mo really had a king's gold coin.
Tang Mo said lightly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Fu Wenduo smiled.
"When did you discover it was me?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "Before the first round started."
Tang Mo was startled. So early?
"I have received special training.
I am more sensitive to people's voices, tone of speech and word habits. "Fu Wenduo took the initiative to explain." When did you discover it? "
Tang Mo replied, "After the first round."
After the first round,
Tang Mo was wondering why the other side unanimously decided to go abroad to play the king card.
He was still thinking about the identity of the man in black. A stowaway.
A very powerful stowaway.
So powerful that the black tower made certain changes to the rules of the game.
It gave the queen's team an unfair rule tilt.
Yes, the queen had the only right to ask a question in the game. This was simply a reflection of the unfairness of the game.
Why did the queen have the right to ask a question and the king's team had to answer honestly?
Otherwise, it would be regarded as a failure? What factors determined the position of the queen card? Was it because Tang Mo was lucky to have the queen card or was there some reason he hadn't discovered?
It determined that their team had the queen card.
Tang Mo turned to look at Pinocchio. "When the underground people play the Honest Card Game,
Will there be the privilege of the queen card in every round? "
Upon hearing this,
Pinocchio smiled and said loudly, "Of course not. We underground people are good citizens who advocate fairness in the game. How can we do something that makes the game unfair? Queen's privilege will only appear when a player is almost impossible to be eliminated. "Pinocchio paused and pretended to be surprised." Oh, did I forget to tell you? I'm getting old, and my memory is getting worse. Don't forget this rule. "
Tang Mo didn't react much to Pinocchio's deliberate sarcasm. Zhao Wenbin, who was standing behind him, finally understood and glared angrily at Pinocchio.
Pinocchio was very thick-skinned. When he saw Zhao Wenbin's angry expression, he was even more proud.
Fu Wenduo asked, "The last reason for guessing my identity is because of the privilege of the Queen card?"
Tang Mo looked up at him. "Yes. Your voice is a little different from the one in there. At least, I won't be able to immediately guess who you are. But this privilege was too ridiculous and strange. It was as if it was forced on the queen's team. Therefore, there is only one possibility. The other team has an existence that can disrupt the balance of the game. "
What kind of existence could destroy the balance of this game?
Pinocchio's Honest Card Game was actually divided into two parts. One was the stage victory and the other was the final victory. In order to ensure that the team wouldn't be defeated and get the king's gold coin reward, they had to win the final victory and defeat the opponent. However, if the cards on both sides were inconsistent, the duel effect would be triggered, producing stage victories again and again.
This duel was the most unfair embodiment of the game.
Even if they won the opponent, they would still be eliminated if they couldn't beat the opponent. The most unfair result that could happen was that Tang Mo's side would win every time. But after four rounds, they would have to fight the most terrible enemy each time. The enemy eliminated their team again and again. Once the fourth game was won, even if the opponent was eliminated, Tang Mo's team would only have one person left.
This wasn't fair at all.
Tang Mo guessed that there was an opponent that no one could defeat and dared to confirm Fu Wenduo's identity.
The black tower determined that even Tang Mo couldn't threaten the powerful opponent. This opponent must've been noticed by the black tower and forcibly cleared the black tower's first floor.
Tang Mo didn't know how many players in China had cleared the black tower's first floor but Attack was well-informed in Shanghai. Luo Fengcheng didn't know which player had cleared the black tower's first floor (he didn't know that Tang Mo had cleared it). Taking Shanghai as an example, there were absolutely very few players in China who had cleared the black tower's first floor. And this person was stronger than Tang Mo.
"… Such a powerful stowaway, it can only be you."
Fu Wenduo smiled. "I didn't expect to meet in this situation."
"I also didn't expect it to be this kind of situation." Tang Mo sighed and calmly raised his eyes. "Mr. Fu, let's make a bet."
Fu Wenduo's eyes flashed. "What bet?"
When Pinocchio heard this, he suddenly became interested and curiously leaned over.
Tang Mo glanced at him. "Aren't you afraid that what we are going to say next is related to the content of the cards?"
Pinocchio placed his hands on his hips and looked at Tang Mo as if he was a fool. "When the cards are played, both cards are upside down. No one knows except for you. What card do you say is what card it is? I, Pinocchio, don't believe it! I can't tell if the content of the cards is a lie or not. Even if I believe 90% of it, as long as I don't admit it, who dares to say that they know the content of the cards? "
"It turns out to be like this."
Pinocchio waved his hand impatiently. "Okay, what do you want to bet? This is the first time I, Pinocchio, saw someone play another bet in the honest card game. "
Tang Mo no longer paid attention to Pinocchio and looked at Fu Wenduo. "This bet has nothing to do with the content of the cards. Pinocchio doesn't care if he hears it. Mr. Fu, so far, we have played a total of two cards. No matter which card we choose or what the result is, it is a coincidence that we are standing opposite each other. "
Fu Wenduo asked, "So?"
"There are always many coincidences in the world. You might have the upper hand now but in fact, the situation is still uncertain. In the end, you only have a little more chance of winning than me. This game doesn't rely entirely on strength. Luck and momentary choices are also the key to determining the game. The winning rate of our two teams isn't 50% but in the current situation, it is hard to determine who will win and who will lose. "
Fu Wenduo still seemed unmoved. "You are right but luck is also a kind of strength."
Tang Mo looked calm. "I don't want to bet on this luck. Rather than one side being eliminated, a win-win situation might be the best choice. "
Fu Wenduo didn't make a sound.
Pinocchio was the first to lose his cool. "Win-win situation? Hahaha, good, you are good friends. Good friends should hold hands and play the cute honest card game together. No one is allowed to lie. "
Tang Mo still looked at Fu Wenduo. "I want to bet with you. The content of the bet has nothing to do with the content of the cards. It doesn't matter if Pinocchio hears it." Tang Mo paused before continuing, "We happened to stand on the opposite grid twice. The probability is only one in 16. So … I bet that we will still stand on the same grid in the third round. "
Pinocchio wondered, "Hey, what kind of strange bet is this?"
"It really has nothing to do with the content of the cards." Fu Wenduo smiled. "If I win the bet, then you have to promise that the outcome of this game won't affect the relationship between Momo and us. What if you win the bet? "
Tang Mo said, "If I win the bet, Mr. Fu, let's end the game peacefully. No one will take risks."
Pinocchio touched his nose, his eyes moving back and forth between Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. Fu Wenduo stared at Tang Mo, not confirming the bet.
Tang Mo suddenly turned to look at Pinocchio and smiled. "I am an honest human. Pinocchio, the content of this bet really has nothing to do with the content of the cards, right?"
Pinocchio didn't care. "Even if it is related to the content of the cards, I can't be sure if you are lying or not. It doesn't matter if I hear it."
Fu Wenduo suddenly said, "Okay, I agree to this bet."
Pinocchio's voice stopped abruptly. He laughed and clapped his hands. "Two good friends are going to bet. This is the most interesting honest card game I, Pinocchio, have ever seen. I, Pinocchio, have watched more than 100 honest card games in the Underground Kingdom and have never seen a peaceful end. "
Tang Mo said, "Maybe you will see it today." Then he turned and walked back to his team's grid.
Fu Wenduo also walked back.
Pinocchio's lips curved into a sinister smile. He said, "I'm really looking forward to it." However, the anticipation and gloating in his eyes weren't restrained at all.
The white wall came crashing down, blocking the two teams.
Before the white wall separated the two sides, Tang Mo had been watching Fu Wenduo from a distance and Fu Wenduo was also watching him. The two people quietly looked at each other until the wall fell and they couldn't see the other side.
Tang Mo went straight to a grid and stood there.
Zhao Wenbin didn't have a chance to speak when Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were talking. He watched helplessly as Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo made a bet. Then Tang Mo found a grid and stood still. He didn't think of a way to win the bet.
Zhao Wenbin's face was red with anxiety. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Do you think we can really win if we stand on that grid?"
Tang Mo looked up at him. "You will stand on the knight card's grid."
Zhao Wenbin suddenly understood. "You deliberately gave them the knight card to show our sincerity for this bet? No, we don't even have the knight card. What if they break the contract and refuse to end the game peacefully? Even if the man in black doesn't break the contract, how can you be sure that we can win this bet? "
The probability of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo standing on the same grid was one in four.
Zhao Wenbin wasn't anxious but the eunuchs were anxious. Tang Mo, on the other hand, chose a grid from the beginning and didn't come out.
In the previous two games, Pinocchio had been lying lazily on the wall and humming to sleep. This time, he changed his behavior. With the bet between the two players, he looked at Tang Mo's side with interest and then turned to look at Fu Wenduo's side.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo couldn't see or hear each other but Pinocchio knew everything.
Pinocchio saw Tang Mo looking up at him and raised his chin, the red feather swaying gently in the brim of his hat. "Don't look at me. The honest Pinocchio never betrays his friends."
"Biu —"
"Okay, okay, the dishonest Pinocchio will never tell you where the human is standing. But … you can guess. " Pinocchio's sharp laughter was heard. He looked at Tang Mo maliciously and touched his nose. "Pinocchio's nose will grow when he lies. Maybe you can ask me some questions, such as where the human is standing?"
Tang Mo ignored him and Zhao Wenbin thought for a long time. "Pinocchio, did the man in black choose a certain grid?"
"Yes." Pinocchio's nose didn't grow longer.
Zhao Wenbin continued, "Then do you think this bet is ridiculous?"
"Of course …" Pinocchio's voice stretched out. Zhao Wenbin excitedly waited for his next words. Pinocchio looked at him pretending to be calm and hiding his excitement. He suddenly laughed. "Why should I tell you? You stupid human, hahaha, you are like the stupidest bug in the Banana Pub. You are so cute! "
Pinocchio's nose didn't grow longer as he said this. Zhao Wenbin was stunned before reacting.
"You … you are playing with me!"
Pinocchio sat on the wall and patted the wall happily. "Bug, bug!"
Zhao Wenbin cried out, "You …!"
Tang Mo glanced at them before withdrawing his gaze.
Zhao Wenbin was still a bit clever. He determined that Pinocchio had seen where Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were standing. At this time, he asked Pinocchio if this bet was ridiculous. If Pinocchio thought it was ridiculous, it meant that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo weren't standing in the same grid. He felt that Tang Mo was a joke.
However, Pinocchio only said that his nose would grow longer if he lied. He didn't say that he would answer Zhao Wenbin's question.
Zhao Wenbin was angrily and anxiously played by Pinocchio.
Five minutes later, the black tower prompted the players to start choosing cards. Zhao Wenbin's face was red with anger. He was anxious for Tang Mo and also for himself. Once the time was up, Tang Mo waved the small parasol and looked straight ahead. He didn't need to look as the plastic tip of the umbrella directly pressed against Zhao Wenbin's neck.
He said lightly, "Come here and stand in the knight's grid."
Zhao Wenbin's breathing stagnated. He wanted to scold this cold-blooded stowaway (he thought Tang Mo was a stowaway). He was clearly racking his brains to help Tang Mo win the bet. Why didn't Tang Mo appreciate it and let Pinocchio play with him?
The pink parasol moved closer and pressed against Zhao Wenbin's neck.
Tang Mo said, "Stand there."
Zhao Wenbin clenched his fingers and gritted his teeth as he walked to the knight's grid.
Pinocchio smiled. "You really don't want to think about changing positions?" He just finished speaking when he clenched his right hand and deliberately patted his head, making a cute gesture that wasn't cute at all. "Oh, I forgot. You have to stand in the knight's grid or both of you can't play cards."
Tang Mo looked straight ahead and didn't look at Pinocchio.
Pinocchio asked for it and slowly stopped mocking Tang Mo. He jumped down from the wall and clapped his hands.
"Rumble!"
The white wall rose little by little.
Zhao Wenbin held his breath and stared at the white wall. He even bent down, trying to see the position of the opposite side from under the wall. Once he saw which grid Fu Wenduo was standing in, Zhao Wenbin froze like he had fallen into an ice cellar. He slowly straightened his body and comforted himself. "It doesn't matter, there is still a chance. As long as you don't choose wrong, it doesn't matter …"
The white wall rose completely and Tang Mo was standing in the rightmost grid while Fu Wenduo was standing in the leftmost grid. The two people stood completely diagonally. It was impossible to say that they were standing in the same grid.
Pinocchio laughed and teleported to Tang Mo's side, looking at the expression on Tang Mo's face. "You lost the bet." After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Tang Mo's expression of despair. Tang Mo was still calm and even turned to look at him.
Pinocchio was a bit dissatisfied and frowned. "I said, you lost! You lost! You lost! "
"He won." A low voice was heard in the distance.
Pinocchio turned to look at Fu Wenduo. "What are you talking about? He clearly lost. The two of you aren't standing in the same grid. "
Tang Mo said, "But we aren't standing in any grid."
Pinocchio's body froze. Everyone present, apart from Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, including Fu Wenduo's three teammates, looked at Fu Wenduo's feet with astonishment.
In the white world, Fu Wenduo was standing on the boundary between two grids while Tang Mo was also standing on the boundary between two grids.
It wasn't Zhao Wenbin or Tang Mo who chose the knight card. From beginning to end, Tang Mo didn't choose any card. Only Zhao Wenbin chose the knight card. For the black tower, Tang Mo abstained from choosing a card while Zhao Wenbin chose the knight card. Thus, their cards were still the knight card and didn't affect the final result.
However, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo both chose not to stand in any grid.
The expression on Pinocchio's face suddenly became very wonderful. No one knew how a puppet could make such a complex and rich expression. His eyebrows started to jump up and down. After his eyebrows jumped, his nostrils kept changing. Finally, he shouted angrily, "It's not fun at all!"
He wanted to watch the excitement. In the end, he didn't watch the excitement and instead became the one. Pinocchio wanted to see this group of humans kill each other again. He turned to look at Fu Wenduo. "You won't keep your promise, right? That is the king's gold coin, the king's gold coin! You still have the advantage and are likely to win against him. "
Fu Wenduo replied, "I will keep my promise."
Pinocchio, "…"
"Damn it, that's why I hate honest humans the most!"
Pinocchio's angry voice was heard in the background as the cards chosen by the two teams slowly slid to the centre of the blank area. There was a cracking sound and the silver iron card on Tang Mo's side shattered. A silver light shot out from the broken card and connected to Tang Mo's eyebrows. At the same time, on Fu Wenduo's side, the silver light connected to the eyebrows of the young woman and the white-haired old man.
"It turned out to be like this." Tang Mo thought.
After the black tower shuffled, there were two people and three cards on Tang Mo's side. The knight card and slave card were all connected to Tang Mo while the queen card was connected to Zhao Wenbin. Tang Mo didn't know what rules the black tower followed to choose which player would have more cards. Perhaps it was random or there were other screening conditions. In short, there were three cards and four people on the opposite side. Their cards were connected to two people.
He saw the light on the young woman and the white-haired old man constantly flickering. Both of them nervously waited for the final choice of the light. A minute later, the light on the white-haired old man faded and the dazzling white light connected to the young woman's body.
The woman gritted her teeth and walked into the duel field again.
This time, she had exposed her ability in advance and didn't give Tang Mo a chance to react. She pulled out her pistol as soon as she entered the duel field and shot. Tang Mo sidestepped the bullet. Once he avoided the bullet, the young woman raised her left hand and blocked her face, revealing only her right eye.
“Checkmate！”
Bang!
The second bullet whistled out of the silver muzzle and headed straight for Tang Mo's forehead. He quickly recited a spell and opened the small parasol. The bullet hit the small parasol and was reflected. However, it was only half reflected. The bullet turned in the air and flew towards Tang Mo's eyebrows again.
The young woman raised her gun and fired a third bullet.
“Checkmate！”
Bang bang bang!
Four bullets in a row were like flying insects with eyes. They crossed trajectories in the air that violated the laws of science and kept rushing towards Tang Mo. Tang Mo waved the small parasol and quickly used the body of the parasol to block every bullet. The bullets hit the small parasol, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Everyone present was dazzled. Only Fu Wenduo's eyes narrowed as he watched Tang Mo use his strong reaction and physical fitness to avoid the four bullets.
As time passed, the attack speed of the four bullets became slower and slower. The young woman was pale by the time she fired the fourth bullet, as if she had suddenly aged a few years. Now there was a white hair on her forehead. She saw that Tang Mo was more than enough to deal with the four bullets. She gritted her teeth and trembled as she raised her gun.
“Checkmate！”
This shot caused half of the woman's hair to turn white. The moment she finished speaking, Tang Mo waved his umbrella and knocked away all four bullets. He supported himself with one hand and looked up at the woman standing four metres away from him.
The woman seemed to realize something and turned to leave in horror. However, her physical skills dropped too fast and she couldn't react at all.
The four bullets turned again and shot towards Tang Mo. The fifth bullet flew straight towards Tang Mo. Once the fifth bullet was fired, the speed of all the bullets slowed down again. Tang Mo stepped on the ground and his body flew like an arrow. The four bullets kept chasing him.
Tang Mo ran towards the young woman. Behind him, the four bullets were getting closer and closer. He put away the small parasol and his pupils dilated to the extreme. With the help of his terrifying dynamic vision and physical reaction, he waved the small parasol forward.
Clatter.
No one paid attention to this small sound. Only Fu Wenduo's eyes widened with surprise as he watched Tang Mo use the tip of the umbrella to split the fifth bullet in half.
Once Tang Mo's umbrella tip was against the young woman's throat, the four bullets and the two split bullets caught up to him and pointed straight at his head. However, the tip of the umbrella was already against the woman's throat. All the bullets stopped and the young woman stared at him with horror. She seemed to forget to breathe and her face was pale.
Clang —
The bullets hit the ground, making a crisp sound.
Tang Mo didn't close the umbrella and said coldly, "Admit defeat."
The young woman's hair was almost all white as she trembled. "I … I admit defeat …"
A huge black hole appeared under the woman's feet and she screamed, disappearing into the white space. Tang Mo closed the umbrella and returned to his position.
Pinocchio's bored face finally showed a little interest when he saw someone being eliminated. He clapped his hands and the white wall slowly fell from the air.
Fu Wenduo shouted, "In the next round, I will play the minister card."
Tang Mo turned to look at him and his lips slowly curved. "Okay."
Pinocchio was so angry at this boring game that his eyes were on fire.
Five minutes later.
"Ding dong! In the fourth round, the players will play their cards. "
There was a click and the silver card in front of Fu Wenduo broke. He really played the minister card. Tang Mo, who represented the queen card, stood up while the middle-aged woman opposite him trembled. Tang Mo had just opened the small parasol when the woman directly said, "I admit defeat, I admit defeat. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Tang Mo was startled.
She actually regarded him as a stowaway.
The black hole appeared under the middle-aged woman's feet. Tang Mo closed the umbrella and spoke in a soft voice, "… Sorry."
At this point, the fourth round was over. Tang Mo and Zhao Wenbin were left on his side while Fu Wenduo and the white-haired old man were left. There were two cards left on each side: the king card and slave card, as well as the queen card and slave card.
The white wall gently fell and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo fought across the wall. Tang Mo said, "The next game will follow the rules of the Underground Kingdom."
Fu Wenduo smiled. "Okay."
Pinocchio was so bored that he picked up the broken radio and reassembled it. He listened to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's words and muttered, "I knew I wouldn't have done such a boring thing." Then he lowered his head and continued to play with his broken radio.
The white wall fell and Zhao Wenbin sighed with relief. For the first time, he felt that he had escaped death. He had been oppressed by Tang Mo but at this time, he could safely leave the instance. He didn't dare ask for the king's gold coin. No matter how good the reward was, it couldn't be used without a life.
As long as the two sides played the slave card together, they would play the king and queen cards together. The king and queen could hold hands and end this absurd and cruel game.
Zhao Wenbin walked to Tang Mo's side. "… Thank you." If it wasn't for Tang Mo, he would have died 100 times in the hands of the man in black. Even if Tang Mo was a tough stowaway, he was still willing to say thank you in the end when the game was about to end.
Tang Mo looked down at the ground, as if thinking about something.
Zhao Wenbin didn't get an answer and asked strangely, "What are you thinking about? Aren't we about to end the game? Is there a problem? "
"I am thinking … how did he become a stowaway?"
Zhao Wenbin knew that he was talking about Fu Wenduo. He had always believed that the powerful Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were stowaways. He said, "He became a stowaway because he killed someone. The man in black killed people in the three days after the earth went online and became a stowaway. "
Tang Mo didn't speak.
This wasn't the answer he wanted.
In the second round, Tang Mo was sure that Fu Wenduo played the knight card and not the minister card because he felt that if both options were available, this person would choose to use the knight card against the knight card. Both cards would be invalidated and the duel effect wouldn't be triggered. Instead of using the minister card to suppress the knight card, the duel would be triggered and the two teams would be short one person.
In the second round, Tang Mo had no choice. If he played the knight card, then even if he won the next bet, he wouldn't be able to win. The hope of ending the game peacefully was slim. However, Fu Wenduo could choose to use the minister card.
He chose the knight card. This showed that unless it was a last resort, he wouldn't watch others die or be forced to participate in a dangerous tower attack game.
In addition …
"In the first round, he actually gave us a chance."
Zhao Wenbin asked with a stunned expression, "What?"
Tang Mo shook his head. "Nothing."
Fu Wenduo won the first round and had the advantage. However, if Tang Mo's team really decided to play the slave card and end the game peacefully, then Fu Wenduo would lose. He seemed to have gambled and eventually won but he also gave the opposing team a chance.
Looking at the first round alone, Tang Mo couldn't see his intentions. Combined with the second round, Tang Mo understood that this person really wanted to let the opposing team go.
Why did such a person become a stowaway?
"Once the game is over, I might know." Tang Mo whispered.
Pinocchio didn't even have the interest to host the game. He sat on the wall and played with his radio, letting the black tower constantly prompt the players to play. The white wall gradually rose, revealing the cards chosen by the two teams. Tang Mo and Zhao Wenbin stood in the grid of the slave card while Fu Wenduo and the white-haired old man stood opposite them.
The two sides glanced at each other.
The white-haired old man stood trembling. With Fu Wenduo standing next to him, he didn't dare move but his expression was frighteningly ugly. He wanted to turn his head several times to talk to Fu Wenduo but once he saw Fu Wenduo's face, he closed his mouth and didn't dare move.
Zhao Wenbin looked at the old man with a strange expression.
Pinocchio said, "You can play on your own. It's boring."
The two silver-iron cards stuck close to the ground and slid to an empty area. A dazzling white light appeared and Tang Mo closed his eyes, waiting for the game to end.
Pinocchio was the only one who could open his eyes in this light. He wasn't interested in looking at the result of the card at the moment and concentrated on playing with his old radio. Until there was a crisp cracking sound. There weren't two. There was only one click in the blank world.
Pinocchio raised his head with amazement and looked at the crushed card.
A white light shot out from the centre of the broken light and connected to Fu Wenduo's eyebrows. On the other side, the card on Tang Mo's side also shot out a light and connected to his eyebrows.
Pinocchio looked at the broken card and the next moment, he stared at Fu Wenduo incredulously. "Are you crazy? Why did you go abroad to play the ace card? Do you want to lose the game? Do you understand the rules of the game? You didn't win at all. You lost! "
The white light dissipated and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo opened their eyes at the same time, looking at Pinocchio.
At this moment, a clear child's voice was heard in the white world.
"Ding dong! Pinocchio learned the contents of the card and violated the rules of the game. He will be deprived of the citizen privileges of the Underground Kingdom.
