Tang Mo had long guessed Fu Wenduo's identity.
But when he heard it, he couldn't help sneaking a few glances at the man next to him. Fu Wenduo's perception was keen.
He quickly caught Tang Mo's line of sight.
He was caught peeping.
Tang Mo nodded without changing his expression. Fu Wenduo paused for a moment and looked at Tang Mo with a more meaningful gaze.
Luo Fengcheng continued, "Since we know each other, I will explain what the black tower selection is. But before that,
Major Fu, let me confirm your identity as a stowaway … "
Fu Wenduo's voice was calm. "November 16th.
I carried out a secret mission at the border. "
Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng immediately understood what he meant.
All the people who eliminated players by killing people to enter the game,
Were all stowaways in the black tower's definition. But there were many reasons to kill. Some were real murders and some were for other reasons. Tang Mo had long thought about why Fu Wenduo was a stowaway. In particular, after they met in Pinocchio's instance, Tang Mo's doubts were even bigger.
Fu Wenduo's performance in Pinocchio's instance wasn't like a vicious murderer. If the opportunity for him to become a stowaway was to complete a secret mission, then it made sense. At the same time, it also explained why Tang Mo felt that this person was different from other players in Pinocchio's instance. It was a kind of soldier's temperament that was as firm as a stone.
It was deep and hidden.
The blade was sheathed.
"I've heard Major Fu's name for a long time but this is the first time I've met you.
There are some things I have to ask in advance. "Luo Fengcheng got the answer.
He wasn't ashamed of doubting Fu Wenduo's actions.
He spoke frankly, "In late November.
After I left the black tower game on the first floor,
I met the Attack organization. Through some means, I got their approval.
I officially joined their team as a reserve. Then I found Nie Fei. Tang Mo, you've met Nie Fei before. You should have some impression of him. "
Tang Mo recalled. "I did meet him when I left Mario's instance. He was young but very calm."
"Nie Fei's ability is to fly. To be precise, his ability isn't ordinary flying. He can use some kind of medium to walk in the air. " Luo Fengcheng took out a piece of white paper and drew something on it with a pen. "We can't see the air and Nie Fei's ability doesn't allow him to walk on air. But other than air, which is an illusory gas, there are many other things that he can use to walk. "
Luo Fengcheng drew many densely packed dots on the white paper and wrote two words: sand.
"For example, during a battle, you can scatter some sand into the air, and Nie Fei can use the sand to walk in the air." He drew a rough model on a piece of paper. "The fine grains of sand formed a solid ground under his feet. Moreover, when he stepped on the insubstantial ground, his speed could reach a maximum of 100 meters per second with his special ability. Furthermore, his abilities are not restricted. "
Fu Wenduo asked, "Can you only walk on sand?"
Luo Fengcheng shook his head. "The sand is just an analogy. In addition, what surprised me the most was that Nie Fei's superpower was constantly changing. When I first met him, he could only walk on relatively large objects, such as rocks and planks. But when he was killed by the stowaways organization, he could already walk on sand. What does this mean? Perhaps after a period of time, he would be able to walk on even smaller objects without the help of sand. In the end, he could even walk anywhere at will. This is space displacement. "
Tang Mo immediately thought of the little fatty's ability. "Zhao Ziang's ability is similar to space movement. However, he can only move other things and not himself. When I first met him, he could only move some relatively small things. Now, he can move some big things very quickly. "
"His progress isn't as fast as Zhao Ziang's." Luo Fengcheng said, "Zhao Ziang hasn't experienced this change."
Tang Mo closed his mouth and continued to listen.
"On the evening of November 17th, three hospitals in Shanghai received four patients. Each patient had no obvious pathological characteristics, but their heartbeats continued to accelerate and their moods were irritable. Among them, the slowest patient's heart rate reached 119 and the fastest person's heart rate was 136. " Luo Fengcheng said, "At the time, this situation wasn't discovered. It was just thought that there was an undetermined condition. A researcher in Shanghai's B group … "Luo Fengcheng paused." She was a young girl who just graduated from her PhD. She discovered this situation and reported it to the research institute. "
Luo Fengcheng roughly repeated the matter. "After I learned of the situation, I immediately received the four patients to the research institute. The three groups investigated the changes that occurred to them. At the same time, I reported the situation to Beijing. "
Fu Wenduo nodded. "I saw this information in the Beijing research institute's database and decided to come to Shanghai to check the situation." He paused for a moment before saying, "No one from the Beijing research institute survived."
Luo Fengcheng said, "Sure enough …"
The three people were silent for a moment before Luo Fengcheng looked at Tang Mo. "Did you calculate your highest heart rate?"
Tang Mo replied, "About 169. I didn't count it."
Fu Wenduo replied, "171."
The numbers of the two people were very close. Luo Fengcheng glanced at them and closed the folder on the table. He solemnly looked at the two players in front of him. One was an official player and the other was a stowaway. After a long time, he smiled. "Then everything is my guess."
Half an hour later, Tang Mo left Luo Fengcheng's office first. Fu Wenduo came all the way from Beijing to Shanghai to find information. Naturally, there were some things he wanted to ask Luo Fengcheng. Both of them were state secret agents and Tang Mo wasn't interested in eavesdropping on this conversation. He walked out of the office alone and leaned against the wall to think.
The black tower selection was a term Luo Fengcheng gave to this phenomenon.
The black tower's selection was very random. Their common performance was that their heartbeat would continue to accelerate during those three days and couldn't be relieved by drugs. In addition, they would be irritable and anxious. In serious cases, they couldn't help but want to commit crimes. Among the four patients Luo Fengcheng studied, the one with a heartbeat of 136 was sent to the hospital because he hurt someone in a restaurant.
However, he couldn't kill that person.
At the end of the three days, the four patients disappeared without exception.
The humans who won the black tower selection didn't necessarily enter the game. Many of them couldn't survive those three days. But as long as they survived those three days, their abilities would be stronger. Fu Wenduo was the first player in the world to clear the black tower's first floor. Tang Mo was the first player in the world to clear the tower attack game in hard mode.
As for Nie Fei, he was once the most powerful ability user in Attack (stronger than Jack). If it wasn't for that accident, he might've been able to smoothly clear the black tower's first floor.
Luo Fengcheng gave two guesses in the face of this completely random choice. "First, this mutation was given by the black tower. The black tower causes some humans to have different characteristics. This selection will affect the strength of the player's ability in the following process. However, many of the selected humans didn't enter the game at all. The black tower didn't give these players full privileges. Then why did it give them this mutation? Therefore, the possibility is only 40%. "
In the dark parking lot, Tang Mo whispered Luo Fengcheng's second guess.
"It has nothing to do with the black tower. It's just related to everyone …"
This mutation was named the black tower selection but it didn't mean it was given by the black tower. It was like an ability. Before the earth went online, there were no real abilities in the world (Fu Wenduo and Luo Fengcheng just confirmed this with Tang Mo). The emergence of abilities was definitely related to the black tower. However, everyone's ability was different and the strength was different. No one knew if this ability was given by the black tower or if it was stimulated by the black tower.
It was likely that the black tower was like a catalyst, catalyzing the hidden ability that humans had.
Official players and stowaways had a stronger black tower catalysis effect, making it easier for them to produce abilities. The reserve players had a weaker sense of existence and the black tower's catalysis effect was smaller, making it difficult for them to obtain abilities.
This guess had a certain degree of feasibility.
Therefore, the black tower selection might be the same as the ability. It wasn't necessarily related to the black tower. It was the players who were selected who had the qualifications to be selected.
Tang Mo stood against the wall as the door next to him opened. He turned to look.
Fu Wenduo walked out of the room and also looked at him.
The two of them stared at each other for a moment before Fu Wenduo smiled. "Do you want to know more information?" The reason why Fu Wenduo stayed in the room was to learn more about the black tower's research from Luo Fengcheng. Luo Fengcheng also wanted more information about the outside world.
Tang Mo didn't deny it. He looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him and his mind inexplicably thought of the slightly chuunibyou code name.
… Xiao Long.
As if aware of Tang Mo's thoughts, Fu Wenduo closed the door and the two of them walked into the darkness. Fu Wenduo said, "Xiao Long isn't my code name. It is the code name of the entire army. Every secret force in China doesn't have an official number, only a code name. The Southwest Military Special Forces A Team, code name Xiao Long. "
After this explanation, Tang Mo coughed. "Major Fu, I really want to know some information about other places. You came from Beijing and passed through three provinces and two cities on the way. You should have seen more things and know more about the outside world. "
"When I came from Beijing, I was in a hurry and it only took me four days. My stay was too short and the information I know isn't comprehensive. However, I know a lot more than you. "Fu Wenduo paused and spoke in a low voice." Just call me Fu Wenduo. "
Tang Mo didn't shout this name. He directly asked, "What is the price of exchanging information?"
Tang Mo knew that Fu Wenduo must've gotten a lot of information from Luo Fengcheng. Luo Fengcheng basically knew everything he knew and Fu Wenduo knew almost everything. There wasn't much information that could move Fu Wenduo but he was eager to know about the outside world.
In particular, the news from Beijing.
Tang Mo's last friend was in Beijing.
Tang Mo had already made plans to tell Fu Wenduo what he knew about the Underground Kingdom and the Monster World. There was a low laugh in the darkness and Tang Mo turned to look. The light was too dim and he couldn't see the other person's face. He could only vaguely see a general outline.
Fu Wenduo said, "No, I will tell you directly."
Tang Mo's footsteps paused. "Mr. Fu?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "As you said in Pinocchio's instance, we have known each other for a long time. Tang Mo, there is no need to be so unfamiliar."
Tang Mo was silent for a moment. "… Why, Fu Wenduo?"
Why didn't he have to pay anything to get valuable information? He admitted that his relationship with this man wasn't good enough for the other party to selflessly contribute.
Fu Wenduo's voice was calm but there was a meaningful feeling. "Before I came to Shanghai, I went to Suzhou. There, I killed three stowaways. "
Tang Mo suddenly understood what he wanted to say.
"Luo Fengcheng said that seven people from this organization came to Shanghai and killed a lot of people. In Suzhou, they killed even more people. When I first arrived in Suzhou, it was almost an empty city. It wasn't that there were no players but everyone was hiding. Even during the day, there was no one on the streets. "
Tang Mo asked, "You killed the last three people from that organization?"
"Yes."
After a long time, Tang Mo said, "… Thank you, that is my hometown."
Fu Wenduo smiled. "There is no need to say thank you. It is the same. Some things seem important but compared to other things, they aren't as precious as you think. What do you want to know? If I know and it doesn't touch my bottom line, maybe I can say a little. After all, you are the other owner of Momo. "
Tang Mo no longer hesitated and directly asked, "How is Beijing?"
The capital of China before the earth went online, the political centre, Beijing.
How was Beijing?
Fu Wenduo stopped. In the darkness, Tang Mo noticed that this person seemed to be looking at him.
