The branch mission was easily completed. The Tang Mo trio was at the end of the time limit.
They rushed into the glass greenhouse as fast as they could. Now that they had completed the mission,
The three people were inevitably tired. They rested and breathed smoothly until their bodies calmed down.
Tang Mo raised his head.
He looked around.
This was a dodecagonal glass greenhouse. A transparent dome shrouded the spacious and clean greenhouse.
The golden sunlight shone through the glass,
Illuminating the flourishing flowers in the greenhouse. There was no one else in the quiet greenhouse.
However, they seemed to be able to hear the hooves of birds.
It was quiet and beautiful. After Tang Mo rested, he discussed with the woman and the baby-faced youth.
The three people decided to split up to check the situation of the greenhouse.
There were so many flowers in the greenhouse that it was impossible to count.
The room wasn't too big but it was densely filled with flowers. These flowers were very tall.
A red rose was the size of Tang Mo's face.
The other morning glory was actually the size of his palm.
The three people split up and searched the entire greenhouse.
The woman said, "I didn't find anything strange.
This looks like an ordinary greenhouse. In addition, I specifically looked for the moon flower that loves to lie. At present, we don't know what the moon flower looks like.
But in this greenhouse,
Every flower is a flower that exists on Earth.
There are no moon flowers. Of course,
Maybe the moon flower is another name for a flower in the black tower world. I can't be sure. "
Tang Mo nodded. "I also didn't find anything related to the moon flower."
The woman looked at the baby-faced youth.
The baby-faced youth was still smiling at Tang Mo and the woman.
He saw that both of them were looking at him.
He said, "I also didn't find the moon flower."
The woman asked, "Did you look seriously?"
The baby-faced youth was stunned.
He smiled and said, "I'm looking for it very seriously."
The white-collared woman looked at him suspiciously, but she didn't ask any questions. The baby-faced youth glanced at the woman before turning to Tang Mo. He seemed to see something and the smile on his lips became more brilliant. He stared at Tang Mo with a strange and meaningful look. If it was someone else, they might be very uncomfortable. Tang Mo glanced at him lightly, his expression unchanged as he looked at the woman.
"We only have two hints. First, the moon flower loves to lie. Second, it is called the moon flower. "This was related to the tower attack game and Tang Mo wouldn't let the woman make the decision alone. He analyzed, "I don't think the clue of liars is useful at the moment, but the second clue seems to be useful. Regardless of whether the name Moon Flower is a nickname or its real name, we should try to guess why it is called Moon Flower. "
The woman thought for a while. "It's very possible. It looks like the moon."
The youth interrupted, "Does it like to grow under the moon?"
Tang Mo found that the baby-faced youth was actually participating in the discussion and nodded. "It is possible. There are three ways to name flowers in the world. The first one was related to the growth habits of flowers, such as roses. The reason why it's called Rose is because it blooms every month. It blooms all year round, so it's also called Red Moon. "
The woman said, "I think I've seen this somewhere before."
Tang Mo continued, "The second naming method is related to the shape of the flower, such as the five-star flower. It has five clearly shaped petals, like a five-pointed star, so it's called the five-star flower. If the moon flower is named in the first two ways, it is very easy to find. At least there are traces to follow. If it is named in the third way, we have too few clues this time. Some flowers are named according to legends and stories, such as the forget-me-not and the trumpet flower. Let's not talk about this for the time being. The black tower hasn't given us any hints about finding the flower. The moon flower shouldn't be named in the third way, otherwise it's almost impossible to find it. "
There was a way to clear the game and win.
In the absence of any clues, the words' Moon Flower 'were the only clue the three of them had. It was called the moon flower. It must be related to the flower itself, not because of those strange stories and legends.
The woman nodded in agreement.
A laugh was heard at this time. "You know a lot of flowers. Did you open a flower shop before?"
Tang Mo looked at the youth and said lightly, "I have read some books." When Tang Mo worked in the library, he would read books in his spare time. He had read a lot of books and his knowledge reserves were a bit more than ordinary people but certainly not as good as Luo Fengcheng.
The youth made an 'oh' sound before asking, "You have read so many books. What did you do before?"
The woman finally couldn't help it. "That's enough. At this time, the task is the priority. This useless nonsense can be said after the game is over. Now our first task is to find the moon flower. Do you have a clue? "
The baby-faced youth shrugged. "I don't know. He has read a lot of books and might know. "He pointed to Tang Mo.
Tang Mo, "…"
He had read a lot of books and knew what the moon flower was? What kind of logic was this?
Tang Mo remembered the book-finding game he once played with Mosaic. In that game, Tang Mo and the huckster pulled out tens of thousands of books from several bookshelves in order to find the book. That game had a time limit. In the end, Tang Mo didn't rely on this method of 'looking through every book' to find the book. But now the game had no time limit.
Tang Mo intended to propose that the three people pick every kind of flower in the greenhouse. As long as the moon flower was among them, it might be counted as completing the branch mission. He was just about to speak when the baby-faced youth suddenly reached out and blocked Tang Mo's face.
Tang Mo was startled.
The smile on the baby-faced youth's face disappeared and he slowly smiled again.
The woman frowned. "What are you doing?"
Tang Mo didn't speak. The baby-faced youth's actions were obviously to prevent Tang Mo from speaking. He saw the youth pull out a cell phone from his pocket. After the earth went online, all electronic devices couldn't be used. Mobile phones couldn't go online, make phone calls, send text messages and only check the time. It wasn't as fast and convenient as a watch. Tang Mo had long thrown away his dead phone.
He didn't expect the baby-faced youth to actually carry a mobile phone with him. He opened the phone, opened the memo and handed it to Tang Mo.
[Don't move, the flower behind you just moved a little.]
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed.
The woman also saw this line of words and her eyes widened with surprise. However, she cleverly closed her mouth and didn't make a sound.
Tang Mo took the baby-faced youth's phone and typed. [Are you sure you saw the flower behind me move? I remember that there was a white rose behind me. I just checked there and didn't find anything strange.]
The baby-faced youth quickly typed.
[It moved. The roots moved about six millimeters. I saw it.]
… Six millimeters, he saw such a subtle distance and was so accurate.
The baby-faced youth had an unchanging smile on his face. He found a strange flower that was likely to be the moon flower. Tang Mo couldn't see any excitement or pride on his face. Instead, there was a strange feeling.
Tang Mo calmly typed. [I won't move. You two find a chance to grab the flower that moved. Maybe it is the moon flower.]
The woman glanced at the baby-faced youth and the two nodded. Tang Mo pretended that he didn't find anything and calmly said, "Since the branch mission is for us to find the moon flower, then …"
Whoosh!
At this time, the woman and the baby-faced youth moved together. The two players who had reached the tower attack level rushed behind Tang Mo at a very fast speed and grabbed a tall and strong white rose in the blink of an eye. The thorns on the rose's roots couldn't pierce their skin and the two of them firmly grasped the rose with four hands. Then, a shrill cry rang out in the greenhouse — — — — — —
"Ahhhh, help!!! Stinky human players, catch me!!! "
Tang Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong. He didn't have time to react when he heard a burst of shrill screams. It was like an avalanche, crashing towards them.
"Ahhhhh, what do we do? It was caught. Is it me next? Is it me?"
"What are these human players doing? Do they want to catch us to take a bath?"
"I don't want to! I am so good-looking and haven't sent my pollen out. I don't want to be taken by humans to take a bath and I don't want to be used to make tea!!! "
Thousands upon thousands of flowers in this small glass greenhouse roared and howled miserably. The loud sound bombarded the ears of the three players. Even with their strong physical fitness, the three players were shocked by such a terrible sound.
The smile on the baby-faced youth's face completely disappeared for the first time. He squeezed the white rose and exerted force. There was a snapping sound as the long rose root was directly broken.
The screams of the flowers suddenly stopped.
A second later, an even more miserable cry rang out again.
"Ahhh, he really wants to pull us out to take a bath!!!"
"It doesn't have to be a bath. It might be tea, it might be made into perfume, anything he wants to do!!!"
"I don't want to be pulled out by him!"
Tang Mo strode forward and took the white rose that was crying for help from the baby-faced youth's hands. The youth looked at Tang Mo and didn't speak. Tang Mo directly asked, "Are you a moon flower?"
The white rose's crying voice suddenly stopped. It didn't answer but the surrounding flowers spoke for it.
"Moon flower? Isn't it a white rose? When did it become a moon flower that loves to lie? "
"It isn't a moon flower. The moon flower has long been moved to other places by the Queen of Hearts. It is a white rose, a white rose with a glass heart. "
The voices kept arguing in the ears of the three people. Tang Mo caught the keywords. "The moon flower was moved by the Queen of Hearts?"
A giant peony the size of a washbasin put its big bud in front of Tang Mo. Its red petals trembled gently as it asked, "Are you three humans looking for the moon flower?"
Tang Mo's expression changed when such a huge flower suddenly appeared in front of him. He quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, we are looking for the moon flower."
The big peony said, "The moon flower isn't here. I know the flowers in the glass greenhouse. The moon flower was moved by the Queen of Hearts yesterday. I heard that it was moved to her bedroom and the Gem Corridor. I also heard that it was given away by the Queen of Hearts. You can't find the moon flower here. "
The other flowers agreed. "Yes, the moon flower isn't here."
Tang Mo asked, "Then how can we find the moon flower?"
The large peony shook its head for a while, then said, "We were in this glass greenhouse when we were still seeds. None of us knew what the outside world was like, nor did we know where the moon flower was. But yesterday, when the two guards took the moonflower away, they left from that place. "
The big peony stretched out its big green leaves and pointed to the vine flower stand. "The two guards left through that door. Maybe you can find the Moon Flower if you go out from there."
The woman walked to the flower stand. The wisteria on the stand covered the petals with its leaves and shyly moved to the side. After the twisting vines were parted layer by layer, a very small wooden door was revealed.
The woman looked back and said, "There really is a door here."
Tang Mo turned to look at the giant peony. He looked calmly at the big and terrible peony, as if trying to see if the other person was lying from its tightly packed petals.
The big peony seemed to be the leader of the glass greenhouse. It saw Tang Mo's thoughts and said, "In the glass greenhouse, only the moon flower loves to lie. We are all good flowers that don't lie. Yesterday, two guards did take the moon flower away from here, through that door. "
Many flowers echoed the words of the peony.
Tang Mo looked at it for a moment.
The woman said, "It really doesn't look like it's lying."
Tang Mo also said, "Yes, I think so too."
The baby-faced youth laughed again. "So now we have to go through that door to find the moon flower?"
The three people discussed for a while (basically, Tang Mo and the white collar woman were discussing while the baby-faced youth watched from the side) and unanimously decided to leave the glass greenhouse to find the real moon flower. Tang Mo looked at the broken white rose in his hand and didn't know where to put it.
The white rose cried and carefully said, "You … can you put me back in the soil …"
Tang Mo inserted the flower into the soil, next to its broken stem.
Once back in the soil, the white rose swayed happily. It happily stretched its leaves and kept poking its head high, as if it wanted to get more sunlight. But because it was broken in half, it was shorter than the other white roses around it. These white roses blocked its sunlight and only the top of its petals received a little bit of pitiful sunlight.
The white rose cried again and the few white roses around it stretched out their leaves to comfort it.
The three people turned to the small door. The baby-faced youth stretched out his foot to kick the door again but Tang Mo's small parasol stopped his leg.
He looked at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo said, "There have been guards of the Queen of Hearts coming and going here. We shouldn't make too much noise to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The woman carefully opened the door and determined that there was no danger outside. Then the three people passed through the small door and left the glass greenhouse.
Two months ago, Tang Mo absolutely didn't believe that there would be such a big flower in the world that could talk. After the earth went online, he experienced too many game instances and saw all kinds of game bosses. Even Mario and Pinocchio weren't surprised, let alone a group of talking and crying flowers.
Behind the trellis of the vine flowers was a long and narrow corridor.
This corridor was somewhat similar to the tunnel from before. On both sides of the wall, there was a small brazier hanging every ten meters, illuminating the entire corridor. However, this time, the flames on the brazier burned more vigorously, illuminating the corridor like it was daytime.
As he walked past these braziers, Tang Mo's eyes were still fixed on the patterns on the braziers. These patterns were similar to the patterns on the previous braziers in the tunnel. They seemed to have no rules, like curves drawn by craftsmen. However, there was a strange sense of familiarity.
Tang Mo watched for a moment and suddenly found a person watching him from the corner of his eyes.
He quickly turned his head and saw the other person. "Mr. Bruce, what are you looking at?"
Although Bruce Wayne was a pseudonym, Tang Mo still said it without changing his expression, as if the baby-faced youth was really called this.
The baby-faced youth smiled and said, "Looking at an interesting thing."
Tang Mo made an 'oh' sound before asking in a calm voice, "I'm an interesting thing?"
The baby-faced youth asked, "Don't you think you are interesting?"
Tang Mo stared at him and didn't answer his question.
The three people continued to move forward. The white-collared woman had long been disgusted with the baby-faced youth. She always stood by Tang Mo's side, keeping a distance from him. This time, even Tang Mo walked far away from him. Only the baby-faced youth had his hands in his pockets and seemed very happy as he walked in front.
Through this corridor, the three people came to a restaurant. There was a set of gilded tableware on the long table in the restaurant. The white-collared woman carefully checked it and said, "There is still some meat on the plate and the knife and fork are a bit warm. It should have just been eaten. Be careful, there might be someone here. "
The three of them cautiously looked around, but nothing strange happened until they left the restaurant.
Tang Mo closed the thick white door tightly. He turned and found that the baby-faced youth was looking at him again. Tang Mo's expression slowly sank. This time, the baby-faced youth's eyes were even more strange, as if he was really looking at something interesting. It was because Tang Mo noticed that there were no other emotions in his eyes. There was only … a strange expectation and joy.
Tang Mo didn't believe that this stranger had any special feelings for him. It was because at the beginning, when the three people met in the oil painting corridor, the baby-faced youth looked at him with this kind of eyes.
He must have seen something.
Tang Mo gripped the handle of the small parasol.
The Queen of Hearts' Gem Castle was extremely large. The three people walked for 10 minutes and hadn't reached the end. They also didn't meet anyone. This time, they passed through a hall made of gold. The white-collared woman opened the back door of the hall and was surprised. "There is no light?"
After leaving the glass greenhouse, the three people walked through every corridor and every room was brightly lit. Some were illuminated by flames and some were illuminated by gems. There were all sorts of lighting tools, but without exception, all of them illuminated the majestic and gorgeous castle. Once they encountered an environment without light, the white-collared woman cautiously took out a flashlight. She illuminated the things in the room and determined that there was nothing strange. She turned and said, "It is an empty room. There is no problem." Then she stepped inside.
The baby-faced youth followed her in.
Tang Mo turned on his flashlight and was the last to enter the door. At the same time, he closed the door. Just as he was about to close the door, a gust of wind came down from above his head. Tang Mo reacted very quickly and took two steps back. However, this thing was faster and the cold sharp object cut across Tang Mo's chest. From his left shoulder to his right abdomen, Tang Mo's clothes were cut by this sharp thing.
This thing was too sharp. Once it was cut, a trace of blood seeped out along the small wound. The wound wasn't deep because Tang Mo only scratched the skin even if he avoided it. However, the wound was too long and soon dyed Tang Mo's clothes red, making it look very horrible.
In the dark room, the white-collared woman hurriedly turned on the flashlight and illuminated the thing in front of Tang Mo.
"Leopard!" The white-collared woman exclaimed.
The moment her voice was heard, the black cheetah lying next to the door roared and rushed towards Tang Mo who was closest to it. Its front paws were stained with some red blood. This was the mark caused by it cutting Tang Mo's chest. Tang Mo raised the small parasol and quickly read a spell. The parasol opened in front of the black cheetah and the black cheetah slapped it.
The force was far beyond Tang Mo's expectations and Tang Mo was pushed back a metre by the terrifying claw.
The white-collared woman hurriedly said, "It is too powerful. We aren't its opponent. The door is there. Run! "
The white-collared woman shone the light of the flashlight and hurried to the door on the other side. The baby-faced youth looked at Tang Mo and smiled. Then he turned and ran with the white-collared woman. Tang Mo was the last of the three people. He didn't have time to care about the words of the white-collared woman. He turned to leave the room with his companions. At this moment, he heard the black cheetah roar. It opened its bloody mouth and a dazzling white flame shot out.
Tang Mo's eyes widened with astonishment.
No one thought that this very ordinary black cheetah could actually spit fire!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The white-collared woman and the baby-faced youth saw the fire but they had already run to the door. The white-collared woman's hand was on the door handle. Only Tang Mo was the closest to the black cheetah and couldn't escape the sudden flame attack.
In this second, the white-collared woman's eyes gently blinked. The baby-faced youth put his hands in his pocket and watched with interest as Tang Mo's figure was about to be swallowed by the flames.
In this second, the white-collared woman blinked and the baby-faced youth's mouth curved.
The youth's figure instantly appeared behind the black cheetah. Tang Mo raised the small parasol and stabbed it into the back of the black cheetah's head. The white flame disappeared and the black cheetah screamed in pain as it fell to the ground. Thick blood quickly spread from its body and flowed to Tang Mo's feet.
After dealing with the black cheetah, Tang Mo walked coldly to the white-collared woman and the baby-faced youth. "I don't know the origin of this black cheetah. Now that it is dead, we should leave this place quickly."
The white-collared woman looked at him with shock. "You, how did you …" Her voice stopped and she didn't ask.
Tang Mo opened the door. "Let's go."
The white-collared woman looked at Tang Mo with a complicated expression. She didn't ask much and walked out of the room.
That was Tang Mo's prop … or ability. In any case, they were just a temporary team. Tang Mo didn't need to tell her how he teleported and killed the black cheetah. She just looked at Tang Mo with a bit more vigilance and caution.
Tang Mo and the white-collared woman left the room and found that the baby-faced youth didn't follow them.
The white-collared woman looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"
The baby-faced youth's figure was shrouded in darkness. The two people could only see his feet and couldn't see his expression. After a long time, the baby-faced youth came out of the dark room and smiled. "It's nothing. The black cheetah suddenly appeared and I was a bit scared. Should we keep going? "
There was no truth in this person's mouth.
The white-collared woman didn't believe that he would be scared by the black cheetah. With this person's degree of psychosis, she and Tang Mo had been scared by him along the way. The white-collared woman glanced at him coldly while the baby-faced youth still had a smile on his face.
Tang Mo looked at his disgusting smile and narrowed his eyes.
… It was different from before.
He was still smiling but it felt different from before.
The baby-faced youth seemed to be aware of Tang Mo's gaze and turned to look at Tang Mo. The two people looked at each other and didn't speak.
Soon, the three people passed through the room. After the black cheetah's raid, the white-collared woman was more cautious when leaving the room. She opened the door and quickly jumped back. Once she was sure there was no surprise attack, she carefully looked inside the door. Her eyes carefully examined every corner of the next room. Finally, her eyes stopped and she stared straight ahead.
"Isn't that the moon flower?"
Tang Mo and the baby-faced youth walked over.
They saw that behind this door (the Tang Mo trio had walked through countless doors) was a dark and long corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor were painted with beautiful angel murals using special paints. The roof of this corridor was made of glass. The moonlight shone through the glass roof and shone on the frescoes. The beautiful angels seemed to be painted with diamonds, sparkling brilliantly.
At the end of the corridor was a small platform made of gemstones. A round glass cover covered the platform, covering the crescent-shaped silver flower.
The corridor was too long and the flower wasn't big enough. Tang Mo tried his best to see its moon-shaped bud.
The baby-faced youth smiled. "It seems to be the moon flower?"
Tang Mo said with certainty, "It must be the moon flower."
The three people glanced at each other. The white-collared woman took the lead and the baby-faced youth carefully walked into the corridor. Once the three people entered the corridor, the door slammed shut. Tang Mo and the white-collared woman immediately looked at the baby-faced youth.
The baby-faced youth said innocently, "I didn't close the door. It closed itself."
The credibility of this sentence was questionable. Tang Mo and the white-collared woman stared coldly at each other. The baby-faced youth said helplessly, "It's rare to speak the truth but you don't believe it."
Tang Mo retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards the moon flower placed at the end of the corridor.
The white-collared woman said, "The branch task is for us to 'find the moon flower that loves to lie.' If it was just to find it, then we have already 'found it.' But the black tower didn't prompt us to complete the task … "
"It wants us to get the flower in our hands. This is the real 'finding the moon flower.'" Tang Mo added.
There was no time to lose. Since they were already here, the three of them hurried through the corridor and walked toward the moon flower. Tang Mo's eyes swept across the angel murals on both sides of the corridor. These murals were very similar to those in church buildings. They were scenes of angels playing and playing, but the paint was very special. It reflected the moonlight like diamonds.
At the end of the corridor, the three people were only 10 metres away from the moon flower.
At such a close distance, Tang Mo could clearly see the graceful and beautiful silver flower gently swaying in the moonlight. Perhaps it was the original luster of the moonlight or perhaps it was its unique colour. Its moon-like bud was blooming with layers of silver petals. It gently stretched its branches in the glass cover, the dense petals swaying with a layer of silver waves. The moonlight shone, making it look strange and beautiful.
The white-collared woman's breathing became a bit faster. She quickened her pace and wanted to pick up the flower. However, they had just walked 10 metres in front of the flower when a gentle and tempting voice was heard in the narrow corridor.
"Do you really want to come over?"
The white-collared woman stopped.
Tang Mo looked at the flower with surprise and curiosity appeared on the baby-faced youth's face.
Separated by a layer of transparent glass, the silver moon flower turned its beautiful bud towards Tang Mo's group. Its inclusive and moving voice was like a feather, gently tickling the hearts of the three people. "Three pitiful humans. Haven't you discovered the thread on the ground after walking all the way here?"
Tang Mo immediately looked down. The white-collared woman and the baby-faced youth also looked at the ground.
The three people looked carefully for a moment before the white-collared woman said, "It is here!"
Tang Mo looked in the direction of her finger.
There were no special lines on the smooth ground. Tang Mo looked sideways for a while and finally found a very thin silver straight line. This line was 10 metres long and parallel to the direction of the corridor, dividing the two-metre wide corridor in half. It suddenly appeared under the feet of the Tang Mo trio and extended to the foot of the wooden platform where the moon flower was located.
At this moment, the Tang Mo trio stood at the beginning of this line.
The moon flower said softly, "Now you have two paths to choose. Walk from the left side of the line and pick me up. Walk from the right side of the line and pick me up. Three pitiful humans, which path will you choose? "
The white-collared woman calmed down and asked, "What is the difference between these two paths?"
The moon flower replied, "There are two paths and only one is the right path. Poor children, there is a price to pay for stepping on the wrong path. In your short life, you always have to make some choices. Sometimes you are forced to make a choice and sometimes you take the initiative to make a choice. Many times you stand in the middle of a choice and don't realise that this choice may determine your life. For example, now … "
The moon flower swayed its beautiful petals. "One path is full of traps and the other is calm. Human, which path will you choose to walk over and pluck me off? "
Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the seemingly gentle moon flower. "Did you just lie?"
The moon flower's voice stopped.
After a while, it let out a strange laugh. Its voice was still very gentle, but the gloating laughter just now had exposed its sinister and cunning thoughts.
