The room was dark and gloomy.
Only this computer was flashing with a fluorescent light. Tang Mo bent down and stared at the computer screen.
He subconsciously pressed his hand on the mouse to drag it, but when he pressed the "OK" button, the mouse on the screen disappeared.
Only Fu Wenduo's face occupied the entire picture.
Tang Mo said, "Stand back."
Fu Wenduo took three steps back, revealing the environment behind him.
Tang Mo carefully observed the things around him. There was a light on Fu Wenduo's side.
He was in a small, closed room. The room was cluttered with cardboard boxes and foam. It seemed to be a small warehouse. At this moment, he raised his head and looked up.
Tang Mo wondered, "What are you looking at now?"
Fu Wenduo didn't ask much and immediately replied, "A small display, about the size of a palm, hanging in the corner of the ceiling of the room." Tang Mo didn't need to continue asking. He directly said, "After separating from you, I was taken to a small house by the Iron Shoemaker. I am in the same factory as you.
This is the grocery room behind the factory. The Iron Shoemaker left after letting me in. I just tried and couldn't open the doors and windows. The black tower said that these doors and windows can't be opened. Also,
Tang Mo … "
The man's voice stopped.
Tang Mo lowered his head.
He looked at Fu Wenduo's calm face in the picture.
Fu Wenduo said, "Can you use your ability now?"
Tang Mo was startled.
Tang Mo had a lot of abilities. At present, the most suitable one to use in front of Fu Wenduo and Xing Feng was the 'I'm worse than the protagonist' ability. This was a one-time ability.
Two months ago, Tang Mo used this ability to seal the giant match into his body. Before entering this office,
Tang Mo heard Xing Feng's voice.
In order to prevent accidents, he took out the big match as a weapon.
Just now, he suddenly had a video call with Fu Wenduo. Tang Mo directly placed the big match next to the computer.
At this moment, he slowly turned his head and looked at the giant match that he had just placed on the table. Tang Mo's eyes stayed on the empty table for a long time before he looked down at his left wrist. A bright red match tattoo came into view. He pressed the tattoo and used his ability.
Half a minute later, Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo. "I can't use my ability. When I entered this room, my ability was in use, but just now, in a split second when I was not paying attention, I could no longer use it. "
Fu Wenduo replied, "I am the same. After entering the room, I tried to break the doors and windows or the walls, but I couldn't use my powers. At the same time, Tang Mo, props can't be used. "
Tang Mo took out Mario's ruby from his pocket and put it on his head.
Kacha!
There was a crisp sound as the ruby fell on Tang Mo's head. It rolled down his hair and fell into the palm of Tang Mo's hand that was already ready to catch it.
"I can't use items anymore either."
The two of them looked at each other on the screen and didn't speak for a long time.
The next moment, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo asked in unison, "What is your mission?"
Both of them were stunned.
Just now, Tang Mo heard the black tower's mission prompt in the room but he didn't hear Fu Wenduo's voice. The black tower's voice couldn't be transmitted through video. Now that the two of them were suddenly forced to make a video call, they had to first determine the other party's purpose. If it was the same mission, then they would naturally work together. If the mission was different or even the opposite, then Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's biggest enemy in the next game would be each other.
Tang Mo thought for a moment before saying, "The black tower wants me to find a tool of the Iron Shoemaker."
Fu Wenduo smiled. "It is a coincidence that I am the same."
"That thing is generally in a liquid form but there is also a paste form."
Fu Wenduo said, "Many times it is packed in a tin hose and also in a bottle."
Tang Mo looked at the other side of the screen and suddenly felt it was a bit interesting. This feeling of testing each other was more interesting than the sense of urgency brought by the game. He said, "Let's write down that thing together, Fu Wenduo. This is an office and I have a pen and paper. There are many cardboard boxes behind you and you can write on the cardboard boxes. We will show the answer at the same time. "
"Okay."
Tang Mo took out a pen and paper from the drawer of his desk. Fu Wenduo moved a cardboard box and tore off one side. Tang Mo gently wrote two words on the paper while Fu Wenduo used a sharp knife to draw on the cardboard box. 10 seconds later, the two of them stopped at the same time.
They looked at the screen.
Tang Mo said, "I will count down and reveal the words together."
Fu Wenduo replied, "Okay."
Tang Mo's fingers squeezed the edge of the paper and he counted down. "Three, two, one …"
Whoosh —
On both ends of the screen, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo presented the two words they had just written to each other.
Shoe polish
Tang Mo secretly sighed with relief but his expression was very calm. "It seems that we are going to cooperate this time."
Fu Wenduo put down the cardboard box. "What is the situation on your side?"
Tang Mo began to introduce the situation on his side. "The place I entered is much larger than yours. It is the main working area of the factory. Once I entered the door, I entered the food processing area. Before the earth went online, many workers should have checked the food packaging there. There were a lot of food packaging bags and some scattered food that hadn't been found. I brought a box of bread in case the game is too long. It can be used as food. " He paused before continuing, "Now I am in the office behind the food processing area …"
Tang Mo roughly explained what he saw and Fu Wenduo said, "Okay. This time our task is the same but the Iron Shoemaker hasn't appeared yet.
It hadn't appeared yet, and it was impossible to find the shoe polish. But you just said that you have a player who has participated in the game? "
Fu Wenduo was the only one in the room while Tang Mo had Xing Feng in the office.
He nodded and looked at Xing Feng. "Mr. Xing, you have been in this game for a while. Can you tell me the specific rules of the game?"
Xing Feng shrank in the corner and looked at Tang Mo with horror. Once he found that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were talking happily (in his eyes), he looked at Tang Mo with fear in his eyes. When he heard Tang Mo ask him a question, he nervously swallowed. "… It is to find the shoe polish. The Iron Shoemaker said that the shoe polish is on our side or their side. It must be in one of these two places. The Iron Shoemaker will only let us go if we find the shoe polish. If we can't find it, he will … will … ah! You will soon know. You will soon know … "
Tang Mo looked at Xing Feng's fearful expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. His suspicious gaze lingered on Xing Feng's body but he didn't talk to Xing Feng. Instead, he pretended that he didn't find anything and continued to ask Fu Wenduo, "What is the specific situation on your side? Is there any danger?"
Fu Wenduo glanced at the bottom of the screen before looking up again. "There is nothing special. There are just three bodies."
Tang Mo frowned. "You have three bodies on your side. Strictly speaking, there were three players here. It is just that two players are dead. Thus, the number of people on both sides of the game is the same. " Tang Mo found that Fu Wenduo was looking down at the bottom of the video and asked vigilantly, "What is it?"
Fu Wenduo said lightly, "The appearance of the three bodies is very unique."
Tang Mo asked, "What do you mean?"
Fu Wenduo was silent for a moment before looking up. "They were drained of blood and turned into dry corpses." He used the simplest words to describe the scene in front of him. Tang Mo didn't think too much and gently nodded. He didn't know that at this moment, Fu Wenduo was standing in the corner of the grocery room, looking up at the small screen.
The screen was too small and he had to stand very close to see what was on Tang Mo's side.
The cold and biting white light illuminated the entire room. Fu Wenduo stood by the wall without changing his expression. Just 10 centimetres in front of him, there was a horrified corpse facing his face. It was a dry and black face and a huge eyeball that bulged out of fear at the moment of death. Before these two eyeballs bulged, many people couldn't imagine that human eyeballs were so round and big. The black eyeballs only occupied a small part in the middle and most of them were white.
The three corpses were nailed to the wall in the crucifixion position of Jesus.
This distance was so close that Fu Wenduo could smell the rotten smell of the three corpses but he still said to Tang Mo with a blank expression, "There are no extra clues. We can only wait for the Iron Shoemaker to appear."
Tang Mo nodded. "Okay, then …"
Bang!
A harsh sound suddenly exploded in his ears and Tang Mo's heart skipped a beat. He saw the computer in front of him suddenly dim and Fu Wenduo's figure disappeared.
At the same time, Xing Feng hugged his head and hid in the corner in fear. He cried in a hoarse voice, "It's coming, it's coming. Close the door … I can't kill it, I can't kill it …"
Tang Mo took a deep breath and turned to look at Xing Feng. He quickly asked, "Who is he? The Iron Shoemaker? "
Xing Feng shook his head, his voice intermittent. "No … it's it, not the Iron Shoemaker. It's the wolf! It's coming. " Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and excitedly looked at Tang Mo. "You are an official player. You said you can't use your ability so you must be an official player. You must be very powerful. Kill it, we must kill it! If we don't kill it, we will all die tonight. We will definitely die! "
At this moment, a clear child's voice rang in Tang Mo's ears.
"Ding dong! All players please pay attention. All players please pay attention. In three minutes, the Iron Shoemaker's most hated shoe polish wolf will appear. Kill the shoe polish wolf and get a drop of shoe polish. All players, please participate and kill the shoe polish wolf. "
"The ninth unsolved mystery of the Underground Kingdom. Why is the diligent and lovely Iron Shoemaker always so poor? The Iron Shoemaker was puzzled. Until one day, he found the abominable shoe polish wolf who always liked to steal shoe polish! Everyone is responsible for killing the shoe polish wolf! "
The black tower's voice stopped. In the dark factory, Tang Mo's fingers gradually clenched.
Suddenly, he heard a dull sound coming from outside the door. It seemed that something was knocking open the door of the next office. It slammed against the door with all its might, banging it against the door. It hit the door again and again, and after about ten times, there was a violent shattering sound. Something smashed through the door and hit the wall of the corridor.
A fierce roar was heard outside the door, like the roar of a beast.
Tang Mo's expression slowly sank. He walked to the corner of the office and picked up the blue and white porcelain vase on the shelf.
In the grocery room on the other side of the factory.
Fu Wenduo saw the screen suddenly dim and his expression changed as he scanned the other things in the room.
A second later, the screen hanging in the corner of the room suddenly lit up again. Fu Wenduo looked up with vigilance. He saw that the palm-sized screen was flashing with snowflakes unique to old-fashioned TVs. The snowflake pattern flashed for a full three minutes before a cheerful and familiar music was heard. With the music, the snowflakes on the screen turned into a colourful halo.
In this gorgeous halo of special effects, a small black dot appeared in the centre of the screen. The black dot became bigger and clearer. Finally, on the screen, a black mini tower was fixed in the middle, the surrounding special effects constantly flashing around the tower.
The music gradually stopped and a cartoon figure jumped out from one end of the screen. She was wearing a blue dress and a crystal crown. She hid behind the black tower and quietly looked around. She seemed to find that there were no bad people around. She laughed and jumped out from behind the black tower, holding the microphone in her hand and speaking loudly.
"What are the top 10 unsolved mysteries of the Underground Kingdom?"
"Who abducted Grandmother Wolf's daughter?"
"In your heart, is the King of Death Song on the black tower's first floor Pinocchio or the Iron Shoemaker?"
"Thump thump thump, everything is in the Happy Q&A! Hello everyone, I am your favourite gold medal host of the Kingdom Satellite TV, Wang Xiaotian. Today, it is a happy Q&A time. What is your dream? What do you want? Come to the Happy Q&A and you can have all of these. Next — "
