Tang Mo spent two copper coins and bought the specific location of the dock from a burly man in a flower skirt. The Strange Circus would hold a surprise night performance in seven days. They rented the best part of the Underground Kingdom and set up tents in the most crowded square in the centre of the kingdom. The dock was five kilometres away.
After walking for 20 minutes, Tang Mo looked up and saw the sails of the ships on the dock. He turned to look at Fu Wenduo and the two men nodded. Tang Mo tightened his mask, put his hands in his pockets and walked briskly to the dock. Fu Wenduo disappeared from his side.
Tang Mo walked to the dock, his attention on the surroundings. He was always alert to the possible appearance of players but when he observed the people around him, he didn't find anyone who looked like a player. Everything was calm and Tang Mo successfully walked to a huge ship. He glanced at the words' Strange Circus' on the canvas and walked onto the deck.
"Is this the ship of the Strange Circus?"
The two circus members who were working on the deck turned to look at Tang Mo. They saw the letters floating above Tang Mo's head and hurried over. One person said angrily, "How long has it been? Why are you only here now? Sneeze has already gone to find you. Mr. B, we have given you the money. Don't think about being lazy! Where is Mr. A? "
Tang Mo replied lightly, "He has a stomachache and went to the toilet."
The tall circus member waved his hand. "Hurry and take the monster away. It is so noisy that I didn't sleep well last night. The leader has gone to the palace to send invitations to the respected king and queen. Before he left, he said that the disgusting monster shouldn't be brought to the circus before the surprise night. The leader received information that the thieves have been trying to steal the monster and set many traps near the circus. "
Tang Mo frowned. "The monster can't be taken to the circus in seven days?"
The short circus member interrupted. "Of course, the thieves have already set up a net in the square. Are you in a hurry to send the monster?"
"That is to say, I have to wait until the seventh day before I can send the monster to the circus?"
The tall man replied, "To be exact, it is the seventh night."
The short man added, "Not even a second can be advanced."
The tall man said, "Look, you can see the cage with the monster. It's over there. Let me kindly remind you that this monster is afraid of light, extremely afraid of light. If you leave it in the light for ten minutes, it will die of dehydration. Don't let it die. The leader said that he would dissect it himself. "
"I know."
Tang Mo strode to a carriage.
This huge carriage was about three meters tall, two meters wide, and four meters long. It was placed heavily on the deck of the sailboat. Tang Mo tried to pull the shaft. He used 50% of his strength but it only moved half a metre. As he pulled the carriage, a dull thud came from inside the carriage, as if something had stupidly hit the wall of the carriage.
Tang Mo thought for a moment before asking, "Where is the horse?"
Although it was a carriage, it did not even have a horse. There were only wheels and a pitch-black cage covered with a black cloth was placed on top of it.
Hearing this, the tall member became angry. "Wow, you want a horse? It's good to have a carriage for you. Why do you want a horse? "
The short man pulled him back. "Ignore him. He is just a detective who can't even move a carriage. I don't know why the leader hired them to look after this monster. I say that we should continue to look after it. Isn't it just a monster? How can we let it run away? If someone really tries to steal it, I will punch their nose. "
The two circus members finished bragging and no longer cared about Tang Mo. They talked about going to the Banana Pub to drink in the evening.
Tang Mo wasn't interested in them. He pulled the shaft with both hands and used a little force. The heavy object hit the wall twice in the cage. Tang Mo soon stabilized the speed and pulled the carriage off the boat.
The monster was too heavy and Tang Mo's walking speed wasn't fast. Every step he took left a half-centimetre deep footprint on the ground. The wheels slid across the ground, leaving two deep ruts in the mud. Once Tang Mo adapted to the weight, he gradually sped up and walked out of the dock.
Along the way, many people looked over curiously, wanting to see what was in such a big cage.
Tang Mo wore a mask and calmly walked under the watchful eyes of so many people. Suddenly, he glanced at a short middle-aged man in the crowd. The middle-aged man didn't expect Tang Mo to suddenly look at him. His eyes changed and he turned to run away. Tang Mo pulled the carriage with both hands and his lips slightly curved. He looked in the direction the man ran and a faint smile appeared under the mask.
It didn't take long for the huge carriage to leave the dock. Tang Mo turned a few corners in the street and disappeared into the winding alley.
The carriage and cage were placed in an abandoned building. Tang Mo twisted his neck, loosened his muscles and sat on the ground to rest. He waited patiently. 10 minutes later, the two men were thrown to the ground. Tang Mo looked at the two men and looked up at Fu Wenduo. "Just two?"
The strange knight in armour came out of the darkness. "He only has one accomplice. He took a five-minute detour at the dock to find this accomplice. Then I caught them. "
Tang Mo touched the mask on his face and determined that his face wouldn't be seen. Then he walked over and kicked the two players on the ground. He wanted to speak but suddenly realized that he had to pretend to be more like an underground person. Various underground bosses flashed through his mind, such as Mosaic, Mario, Pinocchio, Santa Claus … Finally, the figure of a player flashed in front of Tang Mo's eyes. He was silent for a moment before deciding to imitate this person.
Tang Mo tilted his head and smiled maliciously. "Are you the thieves who came to steal the monster?"
The two players were beaten half to death by Fu Wenduo but their physical fitness was good and Fu Wenduo didn't give them fatal injuries. The two of them rolled their eyes and looked at each other. The short man said first, "What monster? We aren't thieves. Who are you? Why are you beating people and tying us up here? We are citizens of the Underground Kingdom. You violated our civil rights and will be wanted by the kingdom's guards! "
Civil rights of the Underground Kingdom?
Tang Mo didn't expect these two players to know so many things. However, they had cleared the black tower's first floor and it was normal for them to know this information. Tang Mo continued to imitate Bai Ruoyao and smiled disgustingly. He picked up a wooden stick from the ground and poked one of the players in the face. "You want to steal things. The kingdom's guards will catch you first, not us."
"What makes you say that we want to steal things?"
"Yes! What did we steal from you? "
From beginning to end, the two players didn't look at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's heads. They really didn't seem to see the two letters floating above Tang Mo's head. They were just citizens of the Underground Kingdom.
Tang Mo wanted to speak but Fu Wenduo directly said, "We can't let them go. They will continue to steal the monster. Victor, kill them? "
Tang Mo was stunned. After a few seconds, he realized that the word "Victor" was referring to himself. Tang Mo suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "Then kill them, Tang Ji."
The two players' eyes widened in horror and they hurriedly said, "Don't kill us. We really don't want to steal things. We are just ordinary citizens …"
Bang!
Bang!
Fu Wenduo retracted his hand and used two sharp knives to directly knock out the two players. After confirming that the two people were unconscious, Tang Mo sighed with relief and no longer pretended to be Bai Ruoyao. He turned to look at Fu Wenduo. "Are you hurt?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "No."
Tang Mo looked down at the two players and frowned. "I thought I would catch a few more players. I didn't expect it to be just these two. The other players hid too well. They were probably at the dock and quietly observing me but they didn't reveal themselves. Only this person, "Tang Mo glanced at the short and thin man who had fainted," is too stupid and exposed himself. "
Before entering the dock, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo separated. One person was in the light and the other was in the dark.
The reason for acting separately was that it would put psychological pressure on the 21 players. Tang Mo appeared on the dock like he was the king's gold coin. If the 21 players wanted to steal the monster from the beginning, they might stop when they saw Tang Mo alone. It was because they didn't know where Mr. A was hiding and they needed to be careful. The second reason was that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo wanted to take the opportunity to catch some players and reduce their opponents.
On the way to the dock, Tang Mo learned that the news that the Strange Circus was going to smuggle the monster had spread throughout the Underground Kingdom. All the underground people knew that the strange monster was about to arrive at the dock. It was likely that the 21 players had also received the news.
As long as they knew, they would go to the dock to see the situation.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had two letters above their heads. It was impossible to hide their identities but they could. They could hide in the crowd at the dock and secretly observe their future opponents to get more information. Tang Mo could hardly find them but they could clearly see Tang Mo.
Only this short man …
"Everyone was more curious about the cart I was pulling and wanted to know what kind of monster was in the cage. Except for this guy. " Tang Mo took off his mask and sighed helplessly. "His eyes stopped on me for a minute. He wanted to observe me more than the box. He wanted to see the strength of the King's Gold Coin. "
Fu Wenduo said, "It is a pity that he is the only one among the 21 players who is stupid."
Tang Mo asked, "How strong are these two people?"
"Not good. In terms of pure force, this person is slightly worse than Jack. " Fu Wenduo pointed to the tall man and then the short man. "This person is very weak and his ability is a flying sparrow. His sparrow is very noisy and seems to be a sound wave attack. I solved them quickly so I wasn't affected. "
Tang Mo said, "It seems that these two people aren't above average on the black tower's first floor." Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo. "Don't you want to take off your helmet to get some air?"
The heavy and strange silver helmet hid the man's face and Fu Wenduo spoke in a low voice. "No."
Tang Mo said, "There are no players nearby." Just now, he deliberately used A Fast Man to avoid the players following him. It could only be used three times a day but in order to get rid of the players who might be following him, Tang Mo used this ability. He sped up and arrived at the abandoned building.
Fu Wenduo said, "… The helmet is too heavy. It isn't easy to wear." Thus, he didn't take it off.
Tang Mo, "…"
The two players had fainted and the sky gradually darkened. At this time, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo finally had time to see what the monster they were guarding looked like. The two people walked to the huge cage. Fu Wenduo grabbed a corner of the black cloth and turned to look at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo said, "You open it."
The next moment, the black cloth was quickly opened and the monster in the cage appeared in front of the two people.
In the dim light, a monster like a giant python was curled up in the cage. It was stupidly pushing its head against the steel bars of the cage, as if it could break them. Suddenly, the black cloth was taken off and the stupid monster froze in the air. It took five minutes for it to react and raise its head to look at the two underground people in front of it.
Tang Mo was already mentally prepared. He sighed in his heart when he saw the monster.
Fu Wenduo's eyes swept over the big earthworm. "Is it an earthworm?"
Tang Mo replied, "Yes, it is a big earthworm."
Fu Wenduo nodded. "This earthworm is a bit too big. It has the capital to be a treasure for the circus. But … "His voice stopped abruptly. Fu Wenduo paused for a long time before asking with surprise, "Did you just hear that sound?"
Tang Mo had no expression. "Yes, I heard it."
Fu Wenduo was keenly aware of Tang Mo's speechlessness. "Do you know this big earthworm?"
Tang Mo looked meaningfully at the crying earthworm and said, "I know it. I knew it a long time ago. Two months ago, I participated in an S-level instance, the safe level instance. It was named by Luo Fengcheng. The main mission of the instance was to kill a circus member guarding the earthworm. In the end, I let the earthworm go. "
Fu Wenduo asked, "Did you let the earthworm go?"
"If I'm not mistaken, I did let it go." Tang Mo looked at the big earthworm. "There shouldn't be a second earthworm as stupid and big as it."
Fu Wenduo's voice was calm. "Tell me about the instance."
Tang Mo told the truth.
In the pitch-black and silent building, a large earthworm was crying. It kept complaining that it was hungry and wanted to see its mother. If one looked closely, they would find that this big earthworm wasn't shedding a tear at all. It was purely fake crying! However, it cried like it was real and used its big head to push against the cage. When it was tired, it would rest for a while before continuing to push.
After determining that the monster he was guarding was still a big earthworm, Tang Mo naturally wouldn't hide what happened in the 'Kill Bill' instance. Every detail in the instance could be important information. He would share it with his teammates to avoid mistakes in cooperation due to lack of information in the next seven days.
At the same time, in a small cabin next to the dock.
Five players gathered together with a square sand table in the middle. A young, short-haired woman smoothed the sand table, picked up a branch, and gently drew on the sand. She drew very quickly, and in just a few strokes, she had already finished drawing lines. The most amazing thing was that with her movements, a map of the Underground Kingdom slowly appeared on the sand table.
This wasn't a complete map of the kingdom. The map was long, starting from the dock and ending on a wide street.
After finishing the last stroke, the short-haired woman put away her hand and said, "He disappeared here. Old Li and I followed him here and determined that he had found us. However, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into thin air. "
The middle-aged man called 'Old Li' agreed. "Yes, I guarantee that I didn't blink but he disappeared in the middle of the road."
Among the five people, a bespectacled man thought for a moment before saying, "I have encountered a fast black tower monster before."
The short-haired woman looked at him. "Captain, what should we do next? We have lost him. I can guarantee that I wasn't the only one who lost him. The other three teams must have lost him as well. In addition to us, there are three groups of people following Mr. B. A conservative estimate is that there are at least five teams in this assembly instance. "
A young man was puzzled. "Five teams? Aren't there only four groups following Mr. B? "
Old Li laughed. "You are stupid again. Xiao Chen, wasn't there a man discovered by Mr. B on the dock? I think he should have been dealt with by Mr. A and Mr. B. If he still has companions then it will be even worse. He might look for his companions. If A and B are smart, they won't catch him first. Instead, they will wait for him to find his companions before catching him and his teammates. It would be fine if he was alone and wouldn't drag down his teammates. However, there are very few people who enter the assembly instance alone. We all enter in groups. I'm guessing their team has been killed by the two underground detectives. "
Xiao Chen touched his head. "Hey, I don't care about this. You can ask Captain and Sister Lin about this kind of thing. I'm a fighter. "
The five people laughed.
The bespectacled man slowly restrained his smile. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the sand table. The circle he drew was near the street where Tang Mo disappeared. After drawing the circle, he thought for a moment before erasing it and drawing a bigger circle. He said, "There must be a deep meaning to choosing to disappear here. It is likely that Mr. A and Mr. B are here. Lin Yi, continue to follow up on the circus. They might send the monster to the circus. The others will come with me. Tomorrow, we will go to the vicinity. "
"Okay!"
The short-haired woman named Lin Yi lowered her head and looked seriously at the circle drawn by the glasses man. After a long time, she asked, "Are Mr. A and Mr. B really underground people? Leader, I just thought that they might be players, just like us. "
The glasses man narrowed his eyes. "This possibility is too low."
Old Li said, "Xiao Lin, the assembly instance 'Strange Circus' Surprise Night 'can only be entered by players who have reached the black tower's first floor. In other words, all 21 of us have at least cleared the black tower's first floor. There might be a big shot who has cleared the black tower's second floor. At present, no player in the world has successfully cleared the black tower's third floor. No matter how powerful a player is, they can only clear the black tower's second floor. If Mr. A and Mr. B are two players, they will have to face at least 21 players on the black tower's first floor. Even if they are on the black tower's second floor, it's impossible to win. "
Xiao Chen also agreed. "Yes, Captain said that the most important principle of a black tower game is fairness. It is impossible for two players to fight against 21 of us. Unless the black tower thinks that two players can beat 21 of us. Don't make trouble, how is that possible? Even if they are on the black tower's second floor, it's impossible. Is the difference between the first and second floors so big? I don't believe it. "
Lin Yi nodded. "I just casually said it."
Old Li laughed. "A woman's sixth sense? It is really good to have a woman in the team, hehe … ouch! "
The young woman retracted her foot and left the house, sneaking into the night and heading in the direction of the circus.
Banana Pub, a private room.
In the dim and narrow room, there was a strong smell of blood. In other words, the entire Banana Pub was filled with this smell. As the sky darkened, countless underground people poured into this famous pub and ordered a glass of spicy banana wine. The pub was full of the smell of men's sweat, mixed with a hint of the stench of feet.
In the private room, a bald man held a barrel of banana wine and drank it. When he finished the wine, a severed human hand was revealed in the barrel. There was even a ring on the middle finger of this hand. The bald man took off the ring and the beautiful teenager next to him looked curiously. He smiled and said, "Not particular. This Banana Pub is not particular at all."
The bald man pushed the teenager away. "Get lost, what are you looking at when I drink? Don't you know that minors can't drink? "
The teenager licked his teeth. "I've killed people. Why can't I drink?"
The bald man ignored him.
Four people were sitting in this private room. Apart from the teenager, the other three people had ordered banana wine. A young woman picked up the glass and tasted it before putting it aside with disgust. She said, "Is it really okay if we don't follow Mr. B today? If he hides the monster and sends it to the circus on the last day, our chances of success will be even lower. "
"Isn't there a team following him? There are four teams." The bald man wanted to learn from the underground people and try to take a bite of the hand. But he only took a bite before hurriedly putting it aside. He couldn't eat people but he could drink blood wine. "It's fine if they follow him. They are following Mr. B. If we kill them, won't we know where Mr. B is? "
This was reasonable. The beautiful teenager clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Who are we going to kill tomorrow? I put the bugs on three idiots. "
"Whatever. We'll kill whoever we want! "
The woman crossed her arms and stared coldly at the three people in front of her. She said coldly, "I think Mr. B is a bit familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere."
The bald man looked at her. "Have you seen this boss? Which instance was it in? "
The woman thought for a moment. "I don't remember. I've been to too many instances."
The middle-aged man sitting next to her who hadn't spoken said, "Mr. B showed half of his face. He looks good and is a pretty boy. Hey, are you going to lose it when you see a pretty boy? "
The woman shouted angrily, "Get lost!"
The bald man tried to smooth things over. "Okay, the underground people look no different from humans. It is possible that they look similar. I think the eyes of the pretty boy are like those of a Chinese star … Anyway, the very popular one. My former girlfriend also liked him. "
The teenager smiled dangerously. "Wait until we kill him and dig out his eyes. Then we'll slowly see if they look alike."
The young woman glared at the three people, got up and left the private room, walking out of the smoky Banana Pub.
Similar situations were happening in many places.
Some teams had three people and some teams had four people. They gathered together to discuss the next day's countermeasures.
A Fast Man's ability was too heaven-defying. Tang Mo shook off everyone's tracking and directly caught two players with Fu Wenduo. On the first day, they successfully hid the big earthworm and caught 21 players off guard.
Fu Wenduo didn't need to sleep because his physical fitness had improved. He sat next to the cage and looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking. Tang Mo saw that he didn't move for a long time and thought he was asleep with the helmet on. He walked quietly to the cage and looked down at the huge earthworm.
The movement of the earthworm against the cage stopped. The ugly and cute earthworm used its extremely ugly head to look at Tang Mo, as if looking at his face and wanting to recognize who he was.
Tang Mo quietly stood in the same place and let the big earthworm look at him. The big earthworm tilted its head and looked at him for a long time. Suddenly, it rubbed its head against the steel bars of the cage, seeming to want to touch Tang Mo.
It seemed to recognize him. Tang Mo reached out and touched the head of the big earthworm. At the same time, he secretly thought that if he got another drop of the earthworm's tear, would it become a prop that could heal wounds? Tang Mo started to think about how to get another drop of the earthworm's tear. At this time, a voice was heard in the room.
"Who is this underground person? He looks a bit familiar. My stomach is so hungry and I want to eat something. His hands look quite delicious … "
Tang Mo, "…"
He pulled his hand back and the big earthworm bit the air.
Tang Mo stared blankly at the white-eyed earthworm in front of him. Tang Mo wasn't wearing a mask. Only two months had passed and it couldn't recognize its savior. It even wanted to eat his savior's hand.
This time, Tang Mo didn't hesitate. He would cut off the earthworm and get another drop of the earthworm's tear. It didn't matter if the new tear could heal the wound or not. He must make this guy cry! Just at this moment, a muffled laughter came from beside him. Tang Mo turned to look.
"… You didn't sleep?"
The strangely shaped Iron Knight raised his helmet and looked at Tang Mo. "It's okay not to sleep for seven days." The implication was that he didn't plan to sleep for the next seven days.
Tang Mo coughed twice. "Now we have hidden the earthworm. The players shouldn't make too much noise in the first four days. They think that we are the underground people and this is the Underground Kingdom. This is our territory and they won't act rashly. They will try to get as much information as possible. It won't be until the last day that the real decisive game will be played. It is useless to hide it. On the seventh day, we must send the big earthworm to the circus. At that time, they will know our position and attack. "
Fu Wenduo nodded. "Do you want to rest?"
Tang Mo didn't sleep for a long time but not sleeping for seven days was a bit stressful for him. He said, "I will sleep for a while."
Fu Wenduo said, "I will keep watch."
Tang Mo went straight to Fu Wenduo's side and sat down. He leaned against a broken pillar and closed his eyes to sleep. He needed to stay with his teammates, the closer the better. In case of a surprise attack, the two of them could act together.
In the dark night, the big earthworm hit the cage for a while before slowly falling asleep and snoring.
Tang Mo originally slept against the pillar while Fu Wenduo sat to the side. His entire body was covered in armor, and not a single bit of his skin could be seen. Suddenly, a head leaned against his shoulder. Fu Wenduo was slightly stunned. The next second, he calmly stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Mo's face back.
Tang Mo, "…"
Tang Mo actually woke up when he accidentally touched Fu Wenduo's shoulder. He had slept enough and didn't want to sleep again. However, Fu Wenduo pushed his head back and his eyelids twitched. It was too embarrassing to wake up at this time.
Tang Mo's head leaned against the pillar and his mouth twitched as he continued to pretend to sleep.
The night passed and the sun shone on the earth. Tang Mo opened his eyes and got up. He picked up the black cloth from the ground and directly covered the cage.
The big earthworm's bubble suddenly burst. It was stunned for a moment before remembering business and continued to hit the cage over and over again. "I am so hungry, I miss my mother, wuwuwuwu …"
Just because it wanted to eat Tang Mo's hand, Tang Mo wouldn't give it anything to eat for three days. It had to starve.
The next day, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo carefully checked the surrounding environment. They didn't find any traces of players. It seemed that the players hadn't found this small building and hadn't found them.
Tang Mo said, "The preliminary plan was successful. They won't be able to find this place." This place was too far from where Tang Mo disappeared. It was almost half the kingdom's capital. "The really important thing in this game isn't how to defeat the 21 players. It is to complete the task and send the big earthworm to the circus. The next thing is how we will send the big earthworm to the circus in six days. "
In fact, Tang Mo never thought that he would really have to face 21 players face to face. He was confident that he could break through the siege of 19 players (two of whom had been caught by them) but he only had a 10% chance of defeating so many players. With Fu Wenduo, he had a 30% chance.
What he wanted was to win the game.
The game was half successful at this point and the last half was on the seventh day.
Tang Mo came up with an idea. "When I cleared the S-level instance, I found that this earthworm has a characteristic. It is very good at drilling holes and it is very fast. In this way, in these six days, we can … "
A clear child's voice interrupted Tang Mo's words. He listened to the voice with astonishment and his expression slowly sank.
"Ding dong! As the most powerful detectives in the Underground Kingdom, the clever Mr. A and Mr. B played around with those stupid thieves. The 21 human players were angry. They didn't know that Mr. A and Mr. B had never put them in their eyes. Foolish humans, is this all you've got? "
"The effect 'Detective's Contempt' is triggered."
"'Detective's Contempt': Every three days, at 12 noon, 21 players can learn the location of the monster."
"Ding dong! Young man from Earth, bravely defeat Mr. A and Mr. B who are helping the evildoers and save the poor monsters! "
Fu Wenduo, "…"
