Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng naturally couldn't do what Jack said.
They went back to Attack now. They waited until eight in the morning. They determined that there was no change in the black tower at six o 'clock.
Everything was normal at eight o 'clock.
When the sun rose,
More players went to the black tower to observe the changes in the new version. Most of these players weren't on guard.
They might be wary of the people around them but they weren't as cautious as the 50 or so players.
They hid themselves.
The Tang Mo trio went to the black tower to observe again during the day. Tang Mo took a light-coloured coat from the roadside store and put it on. His appearance was quite deceiving. After wearing this casual clothing, he looked like an ordinary college student.
There was no threat. In the crowd,
Tang Mo was aware of a few glances.
He pretended to act as if nothing had happened.
Standing with Luo Fengcheng and Jack, Jack was more eye-catching.
Soon,
The trio returned to Pudong.
Along the way,
Luo Fengcheng said, "The black tower didn't give players any hints in the new version.
We can only slowly figure out the assembly instance and reality instance on our own. There is no doubt that
The forced tower attack every three months won't change. "
Tang Mo nodded. "Yes. Of the 50 people with me last night,
Most of them should be stowaways. The black tower hates stowaways.
Even the monsters in the tower are very hostile to stowaways. As long as they eat stowaways,
They can obtain great power. They sneaked in last night to observe the black tower.
They should be trying to find a way to solve the identity of stowaways. However, the black tower's update has nothing to do with stowaways. "
Last night, Tang Mo went to the black tower to explore.
It was to find more information. No one knew what the black tower's update was like.
This was its first update, and they had to grasp more information in order to better survive in the next version. For example, if he hadn't come last night, he wouldn't have seen the small light that flashed 62 times.
Luo Fengcheng was a reserve player and his combat power was extremely weak. He came to see the changes in the black tower. Before the earth went online, he was the leader of the Shanghai black tower research group. No one knew the black tower better than him.
Jack listened to Tang Mo's words and said, "Stowaways are murderers. It is good that the black tower hates them. The stowaways organization actually ate people's hearts and Nie Fei died in their hands. If there are fewer of them, we'll have more hope of survival. "
"There are many reasons to kill." Luo Fengcheng looked up at Jack. "Before the black tower gave humans three days to log in, it didn't say that killing was one of the ways to enter the game. According to this speculation, 99% of stowaways aren't killing for the black tower. However, killing someone did not necessarily mean that one was a bad person. There are many reasons to kill. "
Jack nodded in understanding. "I know."
Tang Mo looked at them and slowly fell into contemplation.
Murderers were not necessarily bad people. This saying was never wrong.
Tang Mo didn't know how the black tower defined a stowaway but according to the black tower's rough style, no matter why you killed someone, you were a stowaway. For example, the 15-year-old female junior high school student that Tang Mo met in the big mole game.
This little girl was deceived by her online friend and got pregnant. By the time she realized that it was impossible for the other party to be with her, seven months had already passed. It was too late. For the sake of her physical safety, her parents decided not to take risks and gave birth to the child. The mole raised their daughter. The little girl strangled the child after it was born. She was defined as a stowaway by the black tower and the big mole couldn't wait to kill her and swallow her.
According to China's laws, this crime definitely wasn't a death sentence and might only be sentenced to a few years. However, in the eyes of the black tower, all stowaways were equal. Whether you were a stowaway who killed someone and ate their heart or a stowaway who strangled a baby, it was the same ending.
"When the earth went online, what was the place with the highest survival rate in the world?" Tang Mo suddenly asked.
Jack thought about it. "It should be China or India? This is the most populous country in the world. "
Tang Mo shook his head.
Luo Fengcheng said, "It is a war zone. The large population base may lead to more players surviving but proportionally, there will be more players surviving in the war zone. It is because they kill people every day. "Killing was the easiest way to enter the game.
Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng glanced at each other.
They soon returned to the mall.
The black tower's new version update didn't bring any changes to the players. Tang Mo carefully observed every player going in and out of the mall. They were the same as before and didn't seem to feel that the new version of the black tower was different from usual. It wasn't until the next day that a reserve player hurried into the mall.
This was an unremarkable middle-aged man. He was thin and the most ordinary one among the more than 80 players in the mall. Tang Mo stood on the third floor of the mall and looked down. He saw that the man rushed to a certain store as soon as he entered the mall. As he walked, he constantly looked around and carefully looked at the people around him, as if worried that others would notice him.
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed as he turned and walked down the stairs.
A light-colored shadow quickly passed through the rows of shops and stopped beside a cake shop.
The middle-aged man entered the clothing store and locked the door. He couldn't see his figure through the glass door. Tang Mo looked around and strode into the cake shop next to him. He locked the cake shop from the inside and went to the back kitchen of the cake shop to find the ventilator.
There were moldy cake embryos on the kitchen table and the ventilator was covered with dust. Tang Mo disassembled the ventilator and measured the diameter of the vent with his right hand. He thought for a moment before taking out Grandmother Wolf's small parasol. After silently reciting the spell, Tang Mo's right wrist moved and the tip of the small parasol pierced the wall 10 centimetres below the vent.
There was a crisp cracking sound as Tang Mo used the same method to poke four small holes around the wall of the vent. He put away the small parasol and carefully removed the broken stones along the small holes. Then he bent down and went to the warehouse of the clothing store.
He clung to the door of the warehouse and listened to the voices of a man and a woman outside.
"Li Qiang was pulled into a reality instance! Just now, I was walking with him, and he was suddenly pulled in. "
"What?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." The middle-aged man quickly covered his companion's mouth.
After a moment, the female voice was heard. "How do you know it is a reality instance? Isn't the reality instance something that the black tower recently created? Did Li Qiang enter a game instance that he didn't discover? Is it the safe instance that we used to go to? "
"Of course not, it is a reality instance." There was a trace of fear in the man's voice. "A big Iron Shoemaker suddenly appeared from behind the factory and dragged Qiang Zi away. I don't know what Qiang Zi did. I was next to him but the Iron Shoemaker smiled at me and didn't drag me away. He also told me that I was welcome to enter the instance. "
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed.
The woman asked, "What about Brother Qiang? Brother Qiang went in. Why didn't you drag him? "
The middle-aged man was still saying, "I dragged him? What did I use to drag him? The Iron Shoemaker's nails were covered in blood. If I dared to say one more word, I would have died. I hurried back … "
"Bang —"
A loud sound was heard outside the clothing store and the middle-aged man and woman trembled with fear. The two people hiding behind the cashier stood up and looked at the person who kicked the door open.
Tang Mo was holding the iron lock that the middle-aged man had just locked on the door. It was now broken in half. He casually threw the heavy lock on the ground and walked towards the two reserve players. His eyes swept over the woman's body before finally looking at the middle-aged man.
Tang Mo's tone was calm. "You just said that a black tower monster appeared in the real world?"
The middle-aged man had seen Tang Mo walk with members of the Attack organization but this kind of information was very important and valuable. His eyes turned and he planned to hide it. "I just saw a person pull my companion away …"
Tang Mo said lightly, "Because the base of the Attack organization is here, the nearby stowaways never dare come to this mall." You can spend every night without fear.
The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other, seemingly not understanding what Tang Mo meant.
Tang Mo looked at their expressions and suddenly felt that he should be tougher. He now had two choices. One was to directly turn around and find Jack. Jack could be described as terrifying in the mall. He never hurt people but his terrifying body was like a giant, making every reserve player afraid. And the other choice was ….
Whoosh —
A pink parasol pierced the wall in front of the middle-aged man and woman. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall and quickly spread out, densely covering half of the wall.
The middle-aged man saw this scene and his heart suddenly stopped. He slowly turned to look at the strange young man.
Tang Mo's lips curved but his eyes were extremely cold. "If you don't say it … I will kill you."
Five minutes later, Tang Mo walked into Luo Fengcheng's office and got straight to the point. "The reality instance appeared."
Luo Fengcheng immediately looked up. "Reality instance?"
Tang Mo brought the middle-aged man into Luo Fengcheng's office.
This was the first time this person had entered the base of the Attack organization. In this mall, the parking lot on the third floor was Attack's territory and other players couldn't enter. He trembled as he walked to Luo Fengcheng and said everything he saw in a trembling voice.
Luo Fengcheng gathered Jack, Tang Qiao, himself, Tang Mo and the little fatty. The five people followed the middle-aged man to find the place where Li Qiang was dragged away.
Luo Fengcheng stopped when he was one kilometer away from the place. "Be careful, the way to trigger the instance here is temporarily unknown. If we go there easily, it is likely that we will be pulled into the reality instance. "
Luo Fengcheng asked the middle-aged man to point out the location where the Iron Shoemaker would appear.
"It is around that corner. Li Qiang and I want to try an instance at the brewery. That instance can be safely exited. I didn't expect to hear the sound of an iron lock being dragged on the ground. We are just reserves and have no fighting power. We were scared and just wanted to find a place to hide. But it only took a few seconds for the Iron Shoemaker to appear. He came out from that side. "The middle-aged man pointed to a corner of the factory.
Tang Mo asked, "What did he look like?"
The middle-aged man was still a bit scared. "He was two metres tall, at least two metres and very strong. He had a broken iron lock in his left hand and a long nail in his right hand. The nail was covered in blood. "
Tang Mo asked, "How do you know he is the Iron Shoemaker?"
The middle-aged man spoke righteously. "He said it himself. As soon as he met Li Qiang, he said welcome to the Iron Shoemaker's game world. "
The middle-aged man pointed to the road he and his companions had walked and the place where the Iron Shoemaker disappeared. Tang Mo's group let him go and watched from a distance.
Luo Fengcheng said, "Zhao Ziang, try to move something over."
Zhao Ziang nodded.
The little fatty had the ability to warp, so he moved a nail over first. This small thing was effortless for him. He controlled the nail and pierced the ground and air near the factory. The nail was unstoppable and didn't touch anything.
Then Tang Qiao took out a large piece of foam cotton and handed it to the little fatty. The foam cotton was large but very light and easy to move. The little fatty moved the foam cotton and didn't encounter any obstacles.
Tang Mo pointed to a small path behind the factory. "After all, an instance has been triggered here. We shouldn't go from here. Go around there. If the monsters in the black tower really appear on Earth, then its game is likely to be played on Earth. "
The five people followed the path and moved forward.
As the middle-aged man said, it didn't take long for Tang Mo to find a few drops of blood. The dark blood was hidden in the soil and was difficult to detect. Luo Fengcheng squatted down and grabbed some soil to sniff it. He raised his head. "Human blood, it hasn't completely dried up."
The Iron Shoemaker really appeared nearby and the blood was probably dripping from the Iron Shoemaker's nails.
The five people moved forward cautiously. Halfway through, there was more and more blood on the ground. Tang Mo said, "You stay, the four of us will continue."
Luo Fengcheng was too weak. If he really encountered a monster, it wouldn't just be dangerous. He would also become a burden to the team. He nodded in agreement and stood in place, waiting.
After walking for another half a kilometre, Tang Mo's footsteps suddenly stopped. A clear voice rang in the ears of the four people.
"Ding dong! The reality instance 'A Lovely Iron Shoemaker' has opened. Please complete the branch mission 'Encounter the Iron Shoemaker' before entering the instance. "
Tang Mo's hand quickly pressed against the handle of the small parasol. Behind him, the little fatty moved the nail, Jack clenched his fists and Tang Qiao pulled out her knife. However, the surroundings were silent. The Iron Shoemaker didn't appear and the reality instance didn't open.
Tang Mo vigilantly observed the surroundings and slowly loosened his hand holding the small parasol. "It seems that we have to first complete the mission of meeting the Iron Shoemaker before we can enter this reality instance. We shouldn't be able to enter. "
Tang Qiao nodded. "This really is a reality instance. Let's go back and talk to Dr. Luo about the situation here. "
The four people prepared to leave.
"Wait." Tang Mo opened his mouth and everyone turned to look at him.
They saw Tang Mo standing on the empty path, looking ahead with deep eyes. There was an intersection in front of him. From here, they could return to the concrete road and walk back to the main road. This was the intersection of several factories. It looked the same as usual and there was nothing strange about it. Tang Mo looked at it carefully for a minute and didn't say anything.
The little fatty asked, "Brother Tang?"
Tang Mo didn't answer his words. He stepped forward, one hand on the small parasol and the other slightly raised. He took three steps forward, then four. Once he took the fifth step, Tang Mo's right hand suddenly stopped and his expression changed. His hand pressed against the air and he turned his head. "We can't go through here."
The three people were startled.
Tang Qiao was the first to react. She ran forward and also reached out, pressing against the air like Tang Mo. "Really, there seems to be a wall!"
A glass-like wall blocked the air. Tang Mo could see the opposite factory and the road but he couldn't cross it. A breeze blew behind them, passing through the invisible wall and picking up the fallen leaves on the opposite side of the road.
Tang Mo whispered, "The wind can pass. Little fatty, try to see if the nail can pass. "
Zhao Ziang responded, "Okay."
A small nail shot towards the invisible wall. Just as it was about to enter, it was blocked by the wall like Tang Mo's group. The small iron nail seemed to hit something and wanted to drill in at high speed. Zhao Ziang put away the nail.
The ground was covered in dried blood. The factory area was sunny and there was no change compared to usual.
Tang Mo looked at the quiet and peaceful factory area.
"… This is the reality instance."
Tang Mo's group turned back and told Luo Fengcheng what they saw. Luo Fengcheng's expression immediately changed and he walked to the invisible wall and tried to touch it. He made the same choice as Tang Mo. He threw the small stone at the wall and tried to see if it could pass through. The small stone was blocked. However, the sunlight and breeze passed through the wall unimpeded and entered this dead reality instance.
Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng and Luo Fengcheng turned to look at him.
Luo Fengcheng said, "Things that exist objectively, such as the wind and sunlight, can enter without obstruction."
Tang Mo said, "As long as it is artificially changed, nothing can enter. Even if it is a stone. "
On the second day of the black tower's new version, the reality instance appeared.
One day later, the assembly instance also appeared in front of everyone.
On the morning of January 3rd, when the hour hand pointed to the 6 o 'clock position, a loud voice spread throughout Shanghai.
"Ding dong! The assembly instance is open for a limited time. Game location: Banana Pub in the Underground Kingdom. Game reward: a bottle of Uncle Mario's favourite smelly sock. Game boss: the owner of the Banana Pub. At 17: 42 on January 3rd, players are invited to the Jing 'an District's Central Times Square to participate in the game! "
"Ding dong! The assembly instance is open for a limited time … "
The black tower broadcasted it three times. Tang Mo was packing his things to return to Suzhou when he heard the voice. His movements immediately stopped and he carefully listened to the black tower broadcast three times. The black tower's voice stopped. He was silent for a moment before opening the door and walking to Luo Fengcheng's office.
Luo Fengcheng seemed to have been waiting for him.
One of them sat at the table while the other stood at the door. They looked at each other and didn't speak.
After a long time, Luo Fengcheng said, "10 days have passed and Chen Shanshan and Qiao Feifei haven't returned yet. Are you going to wait another day to see the situation of the assembly instance or are you going to go back directly? "
Tang Mo walked to him, pulled out a chair and sat down. He calmly analyzed, "The biggest difference between the reality instance and other instances is that the game location is on Earth. The black tower monsters come directly to Earth and open the game. The game content of such an instance is worth pondering. Perhaps it is related to the nearby environment. "Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng and said," I won't enter the assembly instance. "
Luo Fengcheng was surprised. "You don't want to go in?"
"Yes. It just came out and no one knows how big the risk is. I'll wait here for your news. "
Luo Fengcheng understood what he meant and looked calm. "The Attack organization will definitely enter the assembly instance. But Tang Mo, why should we tell you this precious news?"
Tang Mo said, "I have seen Mario before and I can provide you with some information about him. The boss of this instance doesn't seem to be him but the prize is related to him. He is a frequent visitor to the tavern. In addition, I heard news about the Banana Tavern. "
Luo Fengcheng's eyes lit up. "Do you know this tavern?"
Tang Mo looked calm. "Yes. In my Christmas welfare instance, the game boss is Pinocchio. He once said, 'You are like the stupid bug in the Banana Tavern, so stupid that it's cute.' "
Luo Fengcheng's eyes narrowed. "You only know this sentence?" Luo Fengcheng's tentative eyes stayed on Tang Mo.
The air was quiet and the two people silently looked at each other, their eyes meeting in the air.
After a long time, Tang Mo's fingers tapped on the table and his lips gently curved. "What if I say that I have a recruitment flyer for the Banana Tavern?"
On the afternoon of January 2nd, Attack's four most powerful official players, Jack, Zhao Ziang, Tang Qiao and a young man, headed to the Jing 'an District to participate in the assembly instance.
Tang Mo stayed in the mall and watched them leave.
As they left, the little fatty asked with surprise, "Brother Tang, aren't you going with us? You are so strong. If we go together, we can take care of each other. "
Tang Qiao heard this and silently looked at Tang Mo.
There were many reasons for Tang Mo not to go. He looked at the little fatty and said the most acceptable one. "I participated in a black tower game and the game boss is Mario. Mario is a frequent visitor to the tavern. If I meet him there, I'm afraid something bad will happen. "
The little fatty said, "We might not meet …"
"As long as there is a chance of something bad happening, no matter how small it is, it will definitely happen. Little fatty, this is called Murphy's law. "Tang Mo smiled and gave the little fatty a lesson.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhao Ziang said, "I know, Shanshan said this before. Shanshan said that she came back to find us because she was worried that we would meet stowaways. Shanshan, she … "His voice stopped and the little fatty murmured," Shanshan hasn't come back yet … "
The smile on Tang Mo's face slowly disappeared.
Attack's four-person team quickly left.
Luo Fengcheng said, "The assembly instance in Shanghai is opening for the first time. There won't be many people going today. Solo players won't go there. Only players with a party or an organization will take the risk. "
Tang Mo said, "It is necessary to attack the tower every three months. It has been three days now. The S-level instance and other instances are limited. Once it is cleared, it will disappear and it is difficult to find. The opening of the assembly instance and reality instance is to allow players to improve their strength faster and deal with the inescapable tower attack game. "
After a long time, Tang Mo asked, "The country has been studying the black tower for half a year. Luo Fengcheng, what did you study? "
Luo Fengcheng didn't answer.
Luo Fengcheng turned and entered the mall, leaving only one sentence.
"If we have studied anything, Tang Mo, I won't be the only one left of the four research teams in Shanghai."
Tang Mo stood in the sun and looked up at the black tower in the distance. The tower was always silently suspended there. No matter where you stood or how far you were from it, you could clearly see it. Tang Mo looked at the giant tower and felt cold despite being bathed in the sun. He couldn't feel any warmth.
He turned and walked into the mall.
At 17: 42 in the afternoon, the black tower's prompt rang through the city.
"Ding dong! The assembly instance is open for a limited time. 102 players in China District 2 have successfully entered the instance. "
There were 102 players in total, most of whom were definitely players with teams. The strength of the four people in the Attack organization was in the upper reaches of Shanghai. Tang Mo wasn't worried that they would conflict with other players. What the little fatty really needed to guard against was the black tower lifeforms.
Without Zhao Ziang and Jack, Tang Mo wasn't familiar with the other members of the Attack organization. He went to the second floor of the parking lot.
Luo Fengcheng didn't waste the remaining electricity in the mall on lighting. Tang Mo walked through the dark parking lot, avoiding obstacles based on his memory and moving forward. Once he reached his usual business car, he didn't immediately go in to rest.
Tang Mo carefully listened to the movements around him, paying attention to every sound. After determining that there was no one else around, he took out a bright ruby from his pocket.
Today, Tang Mo used a Banana Pub recruitment poster to trade with Luo Fengcheng. As long as the little fatty and the others came out of the assembly instance, Luo Fengcheng would tell Tang Mo about the situation in the instance. Tang Mo used Mario's smelly hat to knock the flyer out of the wall four days ago.
Mario's hat could only be used three times a day. The fourth time it was used would cause some damage to Tang Mo. This hat had a chance of producing a treasure and Tang Mo never wasted it. Every day, he would put on the hat, hit the wall three times and harvest a pile of garbage.
The Banana Pub's advertising flyer, Cinderella's shoes with athlete's foot … Tang Mo had hit all kinds of strange things but he hadn't gotten any treasures. Of course, Tang Mo didn't throw these things away casually. Just like this time, the Banana Pub's advertising flyer played a role. Perhaps the little fatty's group of four could rely on this to clear the instance more easily.
Tang Mo couldn't see the ruby in the darkness and touched the small gem with his fingers. Half a minute later, he raised the ruby over his head and put the hat on his head.
The next moment, the overwhelming smell of sweat rushed towards Tang Mo.
Tang Mo held his breath and expressionlessly put his hands on his hips. He aimed at the wall of the parking lot and … slammed into it.
Bang!
A thumbtack fell from the wall.
Bang!
A piece of half-bitten pie fell. Tang Mo had just picked it up when he almost fainted from the stench of the saliva on the pie.
"It's as stinky as Mario's!" Tang Mo was so smelly that he directly cursed.
There was no time to lose. If he wore Mario's stinky hat for a while, Tang Mo might be suffocated to death by this terrible biological weapon. He hurriedly put his hands on his hips again and slammed into the wall.
Bang!
A glowing stone fell from the sky and rolled to the ground with two clattering sounds. A faint light illuminated the surrounding area of two metres. After hitting the wall three times, Tang Mo couldn't wait to take off the hat and put the ruby back in his pocket.
The third time Tang Mo hit the wall, it was a glowing stone. It fell from the air and rolled on the ground for a distance before rolling to a pillar in the parking lot. Tang Mo walked to the stone, bent down and picked up the glowing stone.
The moment his fingers touched the stone, Tang Mo pulled out the small parasol from his backpack and quickly said, "Little Red Riding Hood's power, Magical Girl Transformation." As soon as these words fell, a low and deep laughter could no longer be suppressed from the darkness.
Tang Mo's left foot hit the ground and his body flew out like an arrow, the round umbrella tip stabbing in a direction in the darkness.
Clang!
There was a loud metal collision sound and Tang Mo's hand holding the small parasol was shocked by the other person's powerful force. He didn't dare be careless and opened the small parasol to block the other person's attack. The next moment, the other person bypassed the small parasol and attacked Tang Mo from below.
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed and he slapped the man's fist away while closing the parasol to attack.
The two people kept colliding and attacking in the dark parking lot, making banging sounds.
The glowing stone lay quietly on the ground, barely giving a little light.
This person was extremely fast and didn't give Tang Mo a chance to use the small parasol to attack from a distance. After a few attacks, Tang Mo directly threw the small parasol and raised his arm to block the man's attack. He quickly bent down and stretched out his right leg, sweeping towards the other person's lower body. The man avoided it lightly and stretched out a hand, passing through Tang Mo's defense line. He grasped Tang Mo's right wrist and turned it over. Half of Tang Mo's body was twisted by this force and he was buckled into the man's chest.
However, Tang Mo didn't wait to be captured. In a flash, he grabbed the man's right arm while the man was restraining him.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye and the two men imprisoned each other's movements. Tang Mo's left hand turned and he stepped on the man's foot. The latter immediately let go of his wrist and took two steps back, his back against a pillar in the parking lot to avoid Tang Mo's attack. Tang Mo didn't breathe as he turned and attacked again. He ran up and pulled out the small parasol he had thrown on the ground. The umbrella was placed horizontally in front of the man's neck.
At the same time, a military dagger was pressed against Tang Mo's lower abdomen at a speed that the naked eye couldn't follow.
The movements of the two men stopped at the same time.
In the darkness, the faint breathing seemed to be close to his ears.
The voices of Attack members came from the distant stairs. They quickly went upstairs and didn't stay on the second floor. Tang Mo held the handle of the small parasol. The cold dagger wasn't unsheathed and was pressed against his lower abdomen through the thick scabbard.
After a long time, Tang Mo opened his mouth, his voice indifferent. He pushed the small parasol closer to the man's throat.
"Mr. Fu, long time no see."
