Next to the dock, the wooden cabin.
The moment the black tower's prompt ended, the four people in the room stood stunned and looked at each other. The four people were just about to go out. It was dawn. Apart from Lin Yi, who had been lurking around the circus and watching the movements inside, the other four members of the team were ready to split into two groups and carefully search the place where Mr. B disappeared yesterday. Unexpectedly, they received a prompt from the black tower before they could go out.
The glasses man calmed down and looked at his teammates. "Did you hear the black tower's prompt?"
The three people nodded.
The glasses man said, "Today is the second day. Six days later is the surprise night of the Strange Circus. The black tower said that we triggered the Detectives' Contempt and will announce the location of the monster every three days. In other words, it will announce the location of the monster twice in the next six days. "
Old Li immediately asked, "Captain, in this case, do we still need to find the monster today?"
The glasses man thought for a long time before replying, "No. The black tower's prompt actually hinted at three points. First, the reason why we can trigger this effect is because we are currently at a disadvantage and can't compete with the two black tower bosses. In order to make the game fair, it will give players preferential treatment. Second, the black tower took the initiative to give the monster's location. This likely means … "
The glasses man walked to the sand table in the middle of the room. His three teammates walked over one after another. The glasses man reached out and pointed to the circle he had drawn last night. Last night, when the five of them discussed countermeasures, he drew two circles where Mr. B disappeared. The first circle was relatively small. Considering that Mr. B might be amazing, the glasses man erased the circle and drew a second, larger circle.
Today, the four of them planned to look for Mr. A and Mr. B in this circle.
The glasses man mused, "Since the black tower took the initiative to tell us the coordinates of the monster, it shows one thing. There is an 80% chance that we can't find the location of the monster on our own. "He punched the circle he drew." The monster isn't here at all. Mr. B's strength is beyond my imagination. He disappeared here not because he hid the monster nearby but because he can disappear here. "
The teammates looked at him blankly. "Captain, what does this mean?"
The glasses man said, "Old Li, you and Xiaoyi went to track Mr. B yesterday. All of us on the dock saw that the carriage holding the monster was very heavy. Every step Mr. B took left a deep footprint, and the ruts of the carriage were embedded in the ground. Right? "
Old Li nodded. "That's right. The monster was really big and heavy. At the time, all the underground people were watching. "
The bespectacled man pointed to the pile of sand that he had just smashed into the ground. "Because Mr. B was pulling a heavy cart, the force of the cart was on his body. That's why he left these footprints. No matter how fast he ran, the footprints and ruts on the ground would not disappear. So, from the dock to here … "He tapped the sand with his finger." He didn't run at all. The street where he disappeared is one of the few stone streets in the Underground Kingdom, not a dirt street. "
Old Li immediately understood. "F * ck, he only disappeared when he got here because he didn't want us to follow his footprints to find him."
In fact, they should've thought of this a long time ago. It was because of the caveat that Mr. B's hiding place was nearby that they ignored this key information.
"I underestimated Mr. B's strength." The glasses man blamed himself. "If my guess is correct, he can pull the monster's carriage to any place in the Underground capital. That's why the black tower thinks we can't find his location in three days. Of course, there is an advantage to this. Mr. B's current hiding place must be a stone road that can be reached. He didn't use any dirt road or else it would leave footprints and ruts. Old Li, Xiao Chen, Brother Hao, in the next three days, we will follow every stone road in the capital. Maybe we can find Mr. A, Mr. B and the monster. "
"Okay!"
After explaining the tasks for the next three days, Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Captain, you said that the 'Detectives' Contempt 'implied three points. You only said two points. The black tower thinks that the players are at a disadvantage and that Mr. B might hide the monster in every stone road in the capital … what is the other point? "
The glasses man raised his hand and looked calm. "Didn't you hear what the black tower said? Mr. A and Mr. B played the 21 players in circles?"
The three team members were stunned.
The glasses man sighed. "23 players and after one night, only 21 people are left. Two people are missing. What does this mean? This means that … the man on the dock yesterday had a teammate. He and his teammate were killed by Mr. A and Mr. B. "
The abandoned building, the second floor.
Once Wang Yinggui woke up, he opened his eyes and there was darkness in front of him. Wang Yinggui was so scared that he wanted to stand up and run away. However, he was just about to stand up when his head hit something. He cried out in pain and fell back again. Soon, he remembered what happened before he fainted.
He was caught by Mr. A!
Yesterday, Mr. B suddenly glared at him on the dock and Wang Yinggui was so scared that he turned and ran. He wandered around the dock for five minutes before going to find his teammates. He thought that Mr. B had forgotten him. Who would've thought that he would be caught by Mr. A as soon as he met his teammates?
Wang Yinggui couldn't understand. He hadn't done anything at all. How could Mr. A and Mr. B discover his identity at a glance? Was it possible that they were like Mr. A and Mr. B and had his identity on their heads? But they didn't have anything on their heads.
Wang Yinggui was puzzled. After being discovered by Mr. A, he and his teammates didn't have the power to fight back. In less than a minute, they were subdued by Mr. A and thrown here.
"No, Old Niao and I pretended not to know who they were and didn't see the letters above their heads. How could they be so sure that we were players and thieves?" Wang Yinggui thought for a long time and suddenly realized something. "Wait, where is this? Am I dead now? No, I'm not dead. I'm still alive! "
Wang Yinggui groped in the darkness and soon reached the end of the space. It was a small cage, so small that it could only hold him. He couldn't even stand up (he would hit his head). He was imprisoned here and couldn't move at all. He hesitated and whispered, "Old Niao?"
Silence answered him.
Wang Yinggui asked again, "Old Niao, Old Niao, are you there? Old Niao … "
After shouting for a long time, a muffled snort was heard beside him. Wang Yinggui immediately went over but he was blocked by the cage. He shouted 'Old Niao' several times and his teammates finally woke up. Wang Yinggui told his teammates about his current situation. Old Niao touched for a long time and said, "I'm also locked in a cage, a small cage, a cage the size of a sparrow that I can't even stand up."
Wang Yinggui asked, "What do you say? Where the hell are we? Why didn't Mr. A and Mr. B kill us? "
"… He didn't kill us because we are still useful!" Old Niao racked his brains to analyze. "Right, don't the underground people and monsters like to eat players? They're definitely going to sell us off, sell us off for money! In the Banana Pub assembly instance last month, the Banana Wine was brewed from the players' corpses. It's over. They must be selling us there. What should we do, Old Niao? "
Wang Yinggui was worried to death. He was about to open his mouth to comfort his teammates when he suddenly heard a strange sound. It seemed like something was pounding on the ground and walking towards them. Listening to the sound, it was definitely a behemoth. Its footsteps on the ground actually caused the cage to shake slightly.
Old Niao swallowed his saliva. "Did you hear it?"
Old Niao replied, "I heard it."
"What is it?"
Old Niao replied, "I don't know. What is this …"
"Ji!"
A surprised cry was heard in front of the two of them. The sound was too close, as if the thing was standing in front of them. However, there was darkness in front of Wang Yinggui and his teammates. Their eyesight hadn't evolved to the point where they could see things without any light source. The two of them screamed in horror. Their voices made the thing even more excited and it started to treat their cages like playballs. It threw them into the air and then dropped them.
In the cage holding the monster, the screams of Wang Yinggui and his companions were endless.
Outside the cage, Tang Mo had a strange expression when he heard Old Niao say, "Mr. A and Mr. B didn't kill us to sell us for money." Later, he heard the screams of the two people being played by the monster and shook his head helplessly.
"After the earth went online, there were still such stupid … such naive players who cleared the black tower's first floor. How good is their luck? "
It had to be said that the luck of these two players was really good.
Tang Mo heard from Fu Wenduo that the strength of these two people wasn't strong. They were only at the middle level in the Attack organization. In the Attack organization, only Chen Shanshan had cleared the black tower's first floor. The others (including Jack and Tang Qiao) were strictly required by Luo Fengcheng to challenge the black tower's first floor in two months to prevent accidents.
Their strength wasn't high and the conversation just now didn't sound very smart. It was likely that they were able to clear the black tower's first floor. For example, after entering the game, they met a God teammate. If they were lucky and didn't die, they could follow their teammates to clear the instance.
In addition, they were even luckier. In this game, Mr. A and Mr. B weren't real underground people. They were Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo. If they were real underground people, they wouldn't lock the two of them up. They would directly kill them and eat them.
In fact, killing the two of them was the best solution. Once they were killed, there would be two less enemies and there would be no worries. However, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't choose this. Instead, they knocked the two people unconscious and locked them in a cage. Now they had to spend energy guarding them.
The screams of the two people were still coming from the cage. Tang Mo leaned against the pillar and pondered. "It is quieter to kill them." Tang Mo said this but he still stood in the same place and didn't move.
At noon, Fu Wenduo came back from outside and Tang Mo immediately went up.
"How is it?"
Fu Wenduo's voice came from under the heavy helmet. "There are people, about three groups. Two of them are hidden deep and I can't see the specific number and location. There is also a middle-aged man. "He picked up a stone from the ground and quickly drew a map on the wall. His drawing speed was very fast. Although it was a simple map, every position was clearly marked.
This was a map of the vicinity of the Strange Circus.
"Here and here, there are two groups of people hiding." Fu Wenduo pointed to a three-storey building behind the circus. "Here, the middle-aged man is hiding on the third floor."
Tang Mo asked, "Did they see you?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "The people hiding in this place probably saw me." He pointed to a bush next to the square. "When I left the circus, she wanted to follow me but I lost her."
Originally, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo planned to spend the first six days and wait until the seventh day to send the big earthworm to the circus. However, the black tower's' Detectives' Contempt 'effect disrupted Tang Mo's plans. Thus, Tang Mo changed his plan and asked Fu Wenduo to look around the circus. There must be players hiding there, monitoring every move of the circus.
"There are only three groups of people. Apart from these two people, there are only 19 players left." Tang Mo's voice was so soft that Wang Yinggui and Old Niao couldn't hear it. "Assuming that these three groups have an average of 3-4 people in each team, then there are about 10 people. There are nine people left who haven't gone to the circus to monitor. What are they thinking? "
Fu Wenduo said, "Maybe there is a team with more than four people. There are a lot of people, reaching five or six people."
"Five people is possible but six people is a bit difficult. Those who can enter this instance are players who have cleared the black tower's first floor. It is too difficult to have a team of six players all clear the black tower's first floor. " Tang Mo thought about it. "Maybe there is a team of five people or maybe two teams gave up monitoring the circus."
Tang Mo picked up the stone and drew on the wall.
"The three groups of people can be counted as 11 people. There are eight people left. There should be two or three teams who gave up on the circus and didn't monitor it. "Tang Mo looked at the numbers on the wall and fell into contemplation. He slowly turned his head and looked at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo was wearing thick armour and a silver helmet. Tang Mo couldn't see his expression but he felt that this person was looking at him at the moment. The two of them stared at each other for a moment before Tang Mo asked, "What situation would make them give up monitoring such an obvious place?"
Fu Wenduo's voice was calm. "They can't move freely or they are dead."
Tang Mo was silent.
"About two or three teams gave up monitoring the circus. This is too many. If it was me, I would definitely arrange for someone to go there early and lurk overnight. " Fu Wenduo raised his hand and drew a circle one kilometre around the circus. "It is possible for one or two people not to think of this. It isn't normal for seven or eight people not to do this."
Tang Mo asked, "Do you think they are imprisoned or dead?"
Under the helmet, there was no expression on Fu Wenduo's face. His words were like his expression at the moment.
His voice was low and certain. "They are dead."
The glasses man and Old Li carefully searched every stone road in the capital of the kingdom and found nothing.
Most of the roads in the Underground Kingdom were dirt roads and there were only 18 stone roads. However, these roads were the main roads of the Underground Kingdom. There were people on both sides of the road and it was difficult to find abnormalities. After searching all day, the glasses man and his companion returned to the cabin by the dock. After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Chen and Brother Hao also came back. After another half an hour, a dusty young woman jumped in from the window.
The five people exchanged information.
Old Li said, "The captain and I searched three roads and didn't find anything unusual. We are now participating in a game and the underground people didn't recognize us or eat us. However, we didn't dare get too close to them and ask them for information. Thus, we didn't find anything. What about you? "
Xiao Chen shook his head. "No."
A young female voice was heard. "I saw Mr. A."
All four of them turned to look at her.
Lin Yi said calmly, "Mr. A was wearing armour and a helmet on his head. I couldn't see his face. He went to the circus this morning and quietly went in through the back door. No one should have found him. At least the players monitoring the other two places probably didn't notice him. I just happened to see him. My ability is more inclined to hide. I followed him and wanted to see where he was going. But Mr. A found me and quickly shook me off. "
The glasses man asked, "What did he want to do in the circus? Where is the monster?"
Lin Yi replied, "I didn't see the monster. He went alone."
The glasses man's fingers tapped on the table.
Old Li thought for a moment before turning to ask, "Captain, since Mr. A didn't send the monster to the circus, why did he go there? He has such an obvious letter above his head. Doesn't he know that we players can see that letter? What does he want to do by sneaking into the circus? "
The glasses man said, "If he really didn't know, he wouldn't sneak in through the back door and avoid our line of sight."
"Then what does he want to do?"
The glasses man tapped the table faster and faster.
The tapping sound echoed in the room and the four players all held their breaths, waiting for the captain's answer. Three minutes later, the glasses man sighed heavily and looked at the young woman. "Xiao Yi, don't go tomorrow. Mr. A has found you. He went to the circus today to see how many waves of people want to steal the monster. They are collecting information about the players. "
Lin Yi was startled. "Captain, have I been exposed?"
The glasses man replied, "Yes, you don't have to monitor the circus anymore. Tomorrow, we will continue to look for every stone road and see if we can find anything. The day after tomorrow is the day when the black tower will inform the players of the monster's location. We will take these two days and the day after tomorrow should be a big battle. "
Lin Yi said, "That Mr. A is indeed very strong. He discovered that I was following him, and his speed when he shook me off was also very fast. He is a very powerful enemy. "
"The enemy I am talking about isn't just Mr. A and Mr. B."
The group looked at the glasses man.
The glasses man's hand suddenly stopped and he said, "Including us, there are only three groups of people monitoring the circus. There are too few people. On the first day, there were four groups of people following Mr. B. Now there are only three groups left. There are at least 10 people who aren't monitoring the circus. There are too many people who aren't monitoring the circus. Something must have happened for only three groups of people to monitor the circus. "
Xiao Chen asked nervously, "Captain, what could have happened?"
"I don't know. But I feel … it isn't a good thing. "
On the third day of the instance, there were still four days before the surprise night of the Strange Circus.
Once the glasses man and Old Li reached the seventh stone road they were searching, they stopped and looked at the crowd gathered in the distance. The two of them glanced at each other and quietly walked over to see what was going on. They were surrounded by underground people and had to hide their identities, pretending to be the same kind of underground people. This time, the glasses man and Old Li hadn't started acting when they saw something.
The bespectacled man raised his head and saw the three humans hanging from the eaves. His mouth slowly opened wide.
Old Li also looked at the three bodies with disbelief. His expression changed when he saw the three people's open stomachs and internal organs. Then he saw the intestines of one of the people fall to the ground, leaving only a section connected to the stomach. The wind blew and the intestines floated intermittently in the air.
Old Li felt his stomach churning. He almost threw up, but he quickly held it in.
The underground people looked at the three bodies and swallowed their saliva.
"Three human players. It is a pity that they are dead. The meat isn't fresh."
"If it isn't fresh, don't eat it. I saw it first. I want to eat it first!"
After a long time, the underground people pulled the three bodies from the eaves. They plucked out the limbs of the three men, crunching and biting. Old Li walked to the side and didn't look. The glasses man wanted to check the bodies but he looked at the swallowed bodies and turned away.
Old Li asked, "Captain, don't you want to vomit?"
The glasses man didn't speak and continued to move forward. Once they left the street and came to a remote alley, the glasses man vomited all of it.
Old Li also vomited, and in the end, all that was left was stomach acid. He shouted angrily, "Fuck, those underground people can kill and eat. Why do they have to open people's stomachs and hang them up there? These underground people only look like people. They aren't people at all. They are monsters! "
"They aren't underground people."
Old Li was stunned. "What?"
The glasses man wiped his mouth and narrowed his eyes. "I have long discovered that the underground people eat humans like monsters but they rarely take the initiative to attack humans. Especially now that we are players participating in the game. The five of us encountered many underground people in the capital but none of them discovered our identity and took the initiative to attack us. "
Old Li asked, "Captain, what do you mean?"
"They are players. Kill them."
At noon on the fourth day, the Underground Kingdom.
The hot sun hung high in the sky. Tang Mo stood by the window of the abandoned building and looked up at the dazzling sun. A clear child's voice was heard in his ears.
"Ding dong! Open the 'Detective's Contempt.' "
A green light shot out from the centre of the sun, divided into 18 parts and shot towards the earth. This light flew very fast and Tang Mo's dynamic vision couldn't see where the other 16 lights were going. The black tower was obviously hiding the location of the other players.
Tang Mo turned to ask, "Did you see it?"
Fu Wenduo replied, "No."
The two of them didn't say anything else and two green lights shot into the abandoned building where they were. Two rays of light shot into the cage that held the monster. There was a burst of whimpering inside. Two days passed and the two players were exhausted by the monster. They couldn't even shout and could only moan in pain. They didn't have the strength to look at the so-called 'Detective's Contempt.'
The two green lights that flew into the cage weren't able to enter when they were caught by Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.
Tang Mo looked down at the green light that flew into his palm. He carefully observed it for a moment before raising his head and meeting Fu Wenduo's eyes in the air. Then the two of them opened the green light together.
In a split second, two rays of green light flew above their heads and enveloped their heads. Tang Mo's heart froze. He looked at the green light above Fu Wenduo's head and faintly felt that something was wrong. He hadn't realized what was wrong when a map appeared in front of them. There was a green heart in the centre of the map and the place drawn was the abandoned building where Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were at the moment.
A line of small words slowly appeared next to the map.
[Prop: Detective's Contempt]
[Owner: Wang Yinggui]
[Quality: None]
[Level: None]
[Attack Power: None]
[Function: Show the location of the circus' big monster.]
[Restriction: One-time prop. It will only be displayed for three seconds before the map disappears. Please remember the detailed location carefully.]
[Note: You want to get information without paying? If you want to live a good life, you have to be cuckolded.]
Three seconds later, the green light above Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's heads disappeared. Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo. "Are you ready?"
Fu Wenduo seemed to be immersed in the fact that he was forced to be green and didn't answer.
Tang Mo asked again, "Fu … Tang Ji?"
Fu Wenduo looked at him. "Okay."
Tang Mo clenched his fingers and his lips curved. He put his mask back on and smiled. "Then we will follow our plan … Tang Ji, see you in three hours."
