Chapter 142
Tang Mo moved sideways to avoid the silver b.u.t.terfly knife. The beautiful knife turned around in the air and returned to the baby-faced youth.
Bai Ruoyao’s feet moved and he sprang forward. Two slender b.u.t.terfly knives flew from his hands, the silver rays like the sharp edge of death. The speed was extremely fast. Tang Mo constantly evaded while pulling out the small parasol and opening it. The b.u.t.terfly knives. .h.i.t the surface of the parasol and made a metal collision sound.
The two of them each took three steps back.
There was no smile on Bai Ruoyao’s face. He stared coldly at Tang Mo and Tang Mo stared back at him.
They watched each other for a moment before Bai Ruoyao’s lips slowly curved. He turned and looked at the grid behind Tang Mo. In that grid, a giant match floated quietly in midair and didn’t disappear. Once Tang Mo walked into E4, the black tower suddenly announced the end of the game. The light films in the grids disappeared along with the items, apart from two books and this match.
Bai Ruoyao glanced at Tang Mo’s body and seemed to be watching something. After a long time, his fingers moved and the two b.u.t.terfly knives returned to his sleeves. Tang Mo saw that this psychopath no longer intended to act and also put away the small parasol.
Bai Ruoyao raised his feet and moved between grids.
He kept his hands behind him as he jumped from grid to grid. Every grid was one metre long and Bai Ruoyao had to take a big step if he wanted to step into a new grid every time. He moved strangely between grids until he suddenly laughed. His laughter grew loudly, making him seem crazy.
Once he reached the edge of the board, he turned his head towards Tang Mo. “Is it that match?”
Tang Mo didn’t care about him.
He picked up the match suspended in the air and walked over to Mosaic. The little girl in red hadn’t reacted yet as she sat at her desk in a stunned manner. Once Tang Mo came up to her and handed her this huge match, Mosaic took the match and looked up at Tang Mo.
The thick mosaic blocked her face so that Tang Mo couldn’t see this little girl’s expression. However, it was obvious that Mosaic was very excited. She hugged the big match and joyfully jumped up from the chair.
“I don’t want to read those d.a.m.n books, those evil books! Books should all be burned, they should all be burned!”
A strange voice was heard. “…Is that match important to her?”
Tang Mo glanced at Bai Ruoyao.
Bai Ruoyao stood in a place far away from Tang Mo and smiled. “Yes, that match is very important to her. Hey, Tang Tang, from the beginning you knew…” His voice abruptly stopped. Bai Ruoyao’s gaze changed. He was clearly smiling but his eyes were extremely cold. “Going to E4 and suddenly saying that I didn’t plan to save that woman. These things, Tang Tang, when did you start plotting against me?”
Tang Mo didn’t intend to answer any of Bai Ruoyao’s questions. However, after hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and wondered, “I was plotting against you?”
Bai Ruoyao laughed like he heard something funny.
Tang Mo quietly stated, “I only cleared the game.’
On the side, Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi still couldn’t understand what was happening. They saw Bai Ruoyao suddenly attack Tang Mo and then stop. Now unknown words were being spoken. They couldn’t understand these words but Bai Ruoyao closed his eyes, countless images flas.h.i.+ng through his mind. His smile became more brilliant and he finally opened his eyes. “All types of inferior products, superior Mosaic. E4, big match, light and darkness of the film, letting that woman walk to B4…”
Bai Ruoyao’s voice stopped and his gaze s.h.i.+fted to Liu Wansheng’s body.
Liu Wansheng was startled and he reflexively grabbed his weapon, fearing that the psychopath would hurt him after the game was over. However, Bai Ruoyao just stared at his face. To be accurate, it was staring him in the eyes. He looked at Liu Wansheng’s eyes and laughed after a long time. “Black-framed gla.s.ses? Tang Tang, I really believed you.”
Tang Mo replied lightly, “Thank you for believing me.”
“Hehe, Tang Tang, I want to kill you now. What should I do?”
“Why don’t you do it?”
Bai Ruoyao was surprised. “Don’t you know the reason? Tang Tang, are you still acting with me? You’re really breaking my heart. You know what I saw and that you won’t die. You are forcing me to do this with you. If I’m not mistake, the look in your eyes right now… Hey, I’m going to die? Will I die by your hands?”
The cold wind blew through the empty yard. After Mosaic received the big match, she ran into the building and was doing something unknown. The four players stood in the cold win, no one answering Bai Ruoyao.
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi was completely ignorant of what Bai Ruoyao was saying. Only Tang Mo knew why the psychopath suddenly stopped and didn’t attack him.
Bai Ruoyao saw the dead air on his body.
Bai Ruoyao seemed like a psychopath who liked killing but he actually wasn’t that crazy. Everything he did was based on not affecting the game’s mission and ensuring he could live. He was a smart player under that irritating appearance.
The two teams had to work together to clear the instance. This was what Bai Ruoyao, Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi originally thought. Tang Mo suddenly cleared the game alone, setting the three of them aside. It was impossible for the three people to not feel emotional. Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi didn’t dare expression their opinions. On one hand, they didn’t know the specific situation. On the other hand, they simply couldn’t fight Tang Mo.
Bai Ruoyao wasn’t the same.
His strength was comparable to Tang Mo and he was a conceited person.
Tang Mo saw flames igniting in the building and then blazing flames spread throughout the whole building. A girl with her hair in ponytails and holding a big match happily ran out of the building. While running, Mosaic hummed and ran into the second building to continue to set fires.
The players stood in the yard and didn’t know what to do next. There was a struggle occurring in Liu Wansheng’s heart. Bai Ruoyao was obviously a psychopath who could kill him at any time while Tang Mo cleared the instance and played all of them. Between the two choices, he chose the latter, Tang Mo. Lin Qianxi hesitated for a moment before also coming over.
Liu Wansheng saw the flames soaring into the sky and couldn’t help asking, “Tang… Tang Mo, I don’t know what is going on but I hope you can give us a statement.”
Lin Qianxi also plucked up her courage. “Liu Wansheng and I stayed in this instance for several days. We have seen too many players get killed by the werewolf and little girl. In fact, we didn’t expect to get any rewards. We just want to leave the instance and leave. I have no problem with you pa.s.sing the game alone. I’m not as good as you, which is why I didn’t win. I just want to know… if you win on your own, does that mean the rest of us are going to die?”
The baby-faced youth in the distance gave a contemptuous sneer when he heard the young woman’s words. Bai Ruoyao saw on the floor, holding his chin as he smiled at Mosaic setting fire everywhere.
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi looked carefully at Tang Mo with a perturbed expression. They were afraid that Tang Mo’s one person clearing of the game meant they were all eliminated and perhaps they would be eaten by the werewolf?
Tang Mo asked, “Do you think he is nervous?”
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi looked at the direction of tang Mo’s finger.
Bai Ruoyao c.o.c.ked his head at them and grinned.
“I don’t know how it will work out but you won’t die. You have partic.i.p.ated in many black tower games before. Have you ever heard of the black tower boss killing people after the instance is cleared with the correct method?”
Liu Wansheng was the first to react and he rejoiced, “Do you mean that we can all survive? If four people pa.s.s the instance together, there is definitely no reward and there is a chance we will be eaten by the werewolf. Now we can all survive?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can trust him.” Tang Mo pointed to Bai Ruoyao. “He isn’t talking to us right now but he can see that it is currently impossible for the four of us to die. This instance has officially ended.”
Lin Qianxi touched the invisible wall that existed in the air. “We still can’t leave.”
Tang Mo stated, “We can probably get out when Mosaic comes back.”
Tang Mo’s voice was calm and he didn’t have much expression on his face. He didn’t intend to take care of the other two players. His words ended and Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi calmed down. They didn’t know why but they thought Tang Mo was definitely right. They wouldn’t die and they could all leave here. However…
Liu Wansheng looked curiously at Tang Mo and couldn’t help saying, “Tang Mo, I want to know what that big match was about. How did you suddenly win?”
Liu Wansheng had just finished when a red shadow came out of the building. There was a loud roar and the building collapsed in a sea of fire. Mosaic laughed as she held the big match and continued to the next place.
Tang Mo looked at the little girl’s innocent appearance and said, “She likes to set fire and kill but she is still a good girl.”
Lin Qianxi and Liu Wansheng was confused. “Ah?”
The sound stopped and Tang Mo looked at the two stunned players. “I said, Mosaic is a good girl who likes to set fires and kill.”
Mosaic was a black tower boss. She wasn’t strong and often used the big match prop to set fire everywhere.
Hobbies: Killing and setting fire.
Dislikes: Reading.
After entering this game, the first thing Tang Mo did was to ask Mosaic about the method to clear the game. Mosaic’s answer was to give the book to her and make her read. Then Mother Wolf wouldn’t eat the players and the players could pa.s.s the instance. However, Mosaic never said that this was the only way to clear the instance.
The name of this instance was ‘All types of inferior products’ and the main mission was called ‘All types of inferior products, superior Mosaic.’ Tang Mo looked at the little girl who was playing with fire and put his hands in his pocket. “In this game, everyone and everything isn’t important. The black tower said it from the beginning. Mosaic is superior.”
There was a flash in Liu Wansheng’s brain. “Wait, the black tower also said survival or loli. This is the problem.”
Tang Mo looked down at him. “Is there a problem?”
Liu Wansheng said, “It is similar to Shakespeare’s original words. Didn’t the black tower mean that we have to choose either survival or the loli? If we pick Mosaic and keep her from reading, won’t we be eaten by the werewolf?”
“Hehe, did the black tower say you have to choose one?”
The group turned to look at the distant Bai Ruoyao.
Lin Qianxi murmured, “The black tower… didn’t say it.”
Yes, from the start, all players fell into a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding on how to clear the game.
Who said there was only one way to clear every black tower game?
In Tang Mo’s hamster game, he just had to hit enough hamsters to score points to pa.s.s the instance. Catching the golden hamster could also clear the instance. There were two ways to clear that instance. When he and Fu Wenduo took part in the honest card game, they could clear the instance by eliminating the opponents. The two teams could also clear it by cooperating but the method they chose was to clear it by eliminating the boss Pinocchio. There were three ways to clear that instance.
Mosaic just said that giving the book to her would allow them to clear the instance.
The black tower stated at the beginning that Mosaic was superior. Between survival or loli, the players had to choose the loli.
Then there was a question. What exactly was Mosaic’s choice?
Liu Wansheng a.n.a.lyzed, “She doesn’t like reading. By not giving her the books, we chose her and not the werewolf. But in the previous eight rounds, we didn’t give her the books and didn’t win. So… choosing her is to give her the big match and let her set fires?”
The level of the players who could pa.s.s the black tower’s first floor wasn’t low. Liu Wansheng’s words got Lin Qianxi’s approval and she also added, “This is too much. The black tower rules states that at least one book will appear in each round but it doesn’t say that the big match can appear in every round. If the big match doesn’t appear, we can’t use this method to clear the instance. Then we can only kill each other, rely on another method to pa.s.s or perhaps never pa.s.s the instance?”
Liu Wansheng suddenly said, “Wait, this match didn’t appear only once.”
Lin Qianxi was startled. “What?”
Liu Wansheng looked up at Tang Mo. “Mr. Tang, I remember that this match has appeared once before…?”
Tang Mo nodded and gave the answer. “It was the fourth round.”
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi didn’t think too much when they heard this. Only Bai Ruoyao sitting in the distance stiffened like he understood something. He looked at Tang Mo and Tang Mo sensed his gaze. The two people’s eyes met in the air and Bai Ruoyao mouthed, ‘Tang Tang, have you been plotting against me since then?’
Tang Mo turned his head away.
…The psychopath took himself too seriously.
Tang Mo really didn’t have time to calculate against Bai Ruoyao. At the end of the fifth round, Fu Wenduo reminded him that every black tower game would definitely have more than one way to clear it. Then he realized what Bai Ruoyao was looking at when he watched Tang Mo and Liu Wansheng in the fourth game.
It was their dead air.
At the start of the fourth round, Bai Ruoyao stared at Tang Mo and Liu Wansheng with strange eyes. At that time, Tang Mo guessed that this person might be thinking of a bad idea or he might be watching the dead air. Now it was clear he was really watching the dead air. It was because once all the items in the fourth round appeared, the dead air around Tang Mo and Liu Wansheng’s body increased by a level.
This change came too suddenly, so that Bai Ruoyao couldn’t respond and Tang Mo discovered his abnormality. Bai Ruoyao thought that this dead air meant Tang Mo was likely to be killed by him and started attacking. As a result, the werewolf suddenly appeared and Bai Ruoyao realized that the dead air came from the werewolf.
“The black tower never gives people a dead end.” Tang Mo looked at Lin Qianxi and Liu Wansheng and thought in his heart, “The black tower will give players clues in a variety of places.”
It was like in the hamster game. On the sixth day, Tang Mo got the invisible person’s pocket watch with Mario’s hat. It wasn’t a coincidence, it was inevitable. The black tower game him a chance to discover the truth behind the overlapping time and s.p.a.ce. The dead air of the players in the fourth round increased not just because the werewolf was about to appear but because there was something among the 20 items on the field.
It was the big match.
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi were still thinking about the reason for the big match. Tang Mo spoke in a calm voice, “When the big match appears, the werewolf will appear. This is a hint from the black tower to the players.”
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi were stunned as they stared at Tang Mo.
Then Liu Wansheng’s eyes brightened. “Is this it? Yes, in the fourth round, the werewolf didn’t appear until the big match did. As long as we clear the instance using the big match, the werewolf won’t appear and we can save our lives. I didn’t think of it before. The black tower gave us a hint. Once the big match appears, the werewolf will appear. And vice versa.”
Bai Ruoyao interrupted, “Hehe, even I didn’t expect it. It isn’t strange that you didn’t think of it.”
Liu Wansheng’s expression changed but he didn’t dare refute Bai Ruoyao’s words.
In fact, Tang Mo hadn’t thought of this. If it wasn’t for Fu Wenduo’s reminder, the werewolf would’ve probably appeared again. Then Tang Mo would be able to find the connection between the big match and the werewolf. By that time, Bai Ruoyao was also likely to find out the secret and the game would be deadlocked again.
However, Tang Mo first discovered this secret and deliberately guided Lin Qianxi to enter B4. On the one hand, he asked Lin Qianxi for help to light up Liu Wansheng’s grid. The two teams cooperated and it was very reasonable. On the other hand, this step from Lin Qianxi also extinguished the grid where the big match was located. This meant that once Tang Mo stepped into it, the grid turned on again.
At that time, Lin Qianxi could choose to enter B2 or B4, both of which would light up Liu Wansheng’s grid.
Tang Mo directly abandoned the B2 option and deliberately hinted to Lin Qianxi to step into B4. He skipped the first step and went straight to the end, This way, Bai Ruoyao couldn’t react and it made Lin Qianxi enter B4.
Now Bai Ruoyao deliberately said that he couldn’t guess the secret of the big match. He wanted to know how Tang Mo suddenly thought of this. Tang Mo completely ignored him. He put his hands into his pocket and waited patiently. Once Peking University was completely turned into a sea of fire, the excited Mosaic returned to the yard with a happy expression.
“Eh, now that I look at you, you are particularly pleasing to the eye. You are a good person!”
Tang Mo went to the little girl and directly stretched out a hand. “The reward.”
Mosaic, “…”
After a moment, she cried out, “You are too much! I’m praising you, I’m seriously praising you! Yet you aren’t happy at all.” The thick mosaic couldn’t hide the little girl’s depressed expression. Mosaic put the big match on her back and ran to Liu Wansheng. “Tell me, will you be happy or happy if I praise you?”
Liu Wansheng didn’t want to offend a black tower boss. “Happy.”
Mosaic nodded with satisfaction and bounced to Lin Qianxi. “If I praise you, will you be happy or unhappy.”
Lin Qianxi replied, “…Happy.”
The last one was Bai Ruoyao. Mosaic had just turned towards him when she stopped and turned to Tang Mo.
Bai Ruoyao grinned. “I am also very happy. If Tang Tang isn’t happy then you don’t need to praise him.”
Mosaic turned around and grimaced at him. “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I don’t want to praise you!”
Bai Ruoyao’s smile became brighter.
Mosaic turned back and saw that Tang Mo hadn’t even blinked. He was still reaching out to her in posture that was asking for a reward. The little girl felt very wrong. This time, Tang Mo saved her, helping her get the big match and allowing her to set fires. This made the little girl very happy. However, this stinky human couldn’t understand her mindset at all. Why didn’t he accompany her to play?
“You bad person, I’m just a little bit weaker than my mother, a little bit. You aren’t willing to accompany me to play. You only want to know about the game and get the reward…” Mosaic complained for a long time. “When I grow up, I will kill all of you, kill all of you!”
Tang Mo moved forward. “The reward.”
Mosaic, “…”
Couldn’t this day be over?
The depressed Mosaic pulled out a small and delicate matchbox from her pocket and stuffed it into Tang Mo’s hands. Tang Mo thought she would give him another big match and was slightly startled when he saw the matchbox. He opened the matchbox and saw there were there small matches inside. These matches were different from ordinary matches. The match head was golden and the handle was beautiful and transparent.
Mosaic sighed. “They are my magic matches. I have three left and have given them all to you. I have no extra, not one!”
Lin Qianxi muttered, “There is obviously still some more.’
Mosaic glared at her and said guiltily, “I said there is no more, no more! If you want a match then there is no chance. If you touch me, my mother will definitely eat you, eat all of you!”
Lin Qianxi drew back and no longer spoke.
Mosaic yelled, “Hmph!”
It was the so-called dog looking for its master. Tang Mo originally intended to bargain and see if he could get more magic matches from Mosaic,. Now it seemed like the girl was really unlikely to give anything else. He could bully Mosaic but it wasn’t worth it if Mosaic complained to the werewolf and asked the werewolf to kill them.
Tang Mo thought this and placed the matchbox in his pocket.
The first reward was obtained. The second one…
Tang Mo’s eyelids twitched as he saw the little girl reach out and wipe her mouth with the back of her hand. She rubbed it for a long time before lowering her hand. “The kangaroo fur that I ate this morning is stuck to my mouth. No matter. Tang Mo, come here and let me kiss you.”
It was reasonable to say that Tang Mo shouldn’t feel like anything was wrong. Even Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi didn’t express their views. This was the black tower’s extra reward to Tang Mo. They didn’t understand why the black tower would give such a reward but there must be a special role. It was just a kiss and it wasn’t a big deal.
However, Tang Mo’s expression was a bit weird.
Mosaic wiped her mouth impatiently. “Tang Mo, what are you doing? Come over and let me kiss you.”
Tang Mo, “…”
Mosaic wondered, “Tang Mo?”
Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi looked at Tang Mo strangely. Bai Ruoyao’s eyes widened and he watched the scene with a smile.
They never knew that after Mosaic spoke, a low voice was suddenly heard in Tang Mo’s mind.
[…Did I hear wrong? Tang Mo, there is a woman who says that she is going to kiss you.] Fu Wenduo paused. He seemed to think there was something wrong with these words and asked quietly: [What is this black tower game?]
Tang Mo: […This is the black tower’s reward.]
Fu Wenduo: […]
[The black tower will give this type of reward?] Letting a woman kiss a player?
Tang Mo, “…”
He also didn’t think the black tower would give this type of reward!
Mosaic’s contempt was also bizarre and now there was the extra Mosaic’s kiss! Being kissed by a little girl wasn’t a big deal. Mosaic was still small and no one would think anything about it. Now that he was talking to Fu Wenduo, even Tang Mo felt that something was wrong. Why did it make him seem like he was cheaper than the black tower boss?
Hey wait, Mosaic wasn’t a woman. She was just a little girl!
Tang Mo hurriedly explained: [Her actual age…] is very young.
“Hehe, Tang Tang, don’t tell me this is your first kiss?”
His words were interrupted and Tang Mo looked up at Bai Ruoyao far away.
Mosaic was also stunned. “Eh, the first kiss?” The little girl stared at Tang Mo’s lips. No one could see her expression but Tang Mo inexplicably felt that the little girl was looking at him with contemptuous eyes. Sure enough, the next moment, Mosaic spat out, “How old are you to not have your first kiss? It is fine if I haven’t had my first kiss yet. Tang Mo, are you an old virgin?”
The old virgin Tang Mo, “…”
The old virgin on the other end of the turkey egg, Fu Wenduo, “…”
Bai Ruoyao’s eyes were bright. “Wow Tang Tang, you really haven’t had your first kiss?”
From childhood to adulthood, he hadn’t even kissed his parents. Tang Mo didn’t know how to answer. He remained stoic and his expression didn’t change as he replied, “No.”
At the foot of the gla.s.s mountain, Fu Wenduo stopped.
Then the next second, Bai Ruoyao’s happy voice was heard. “Hehe, looking are your face now, even Lin Qianxi won’t believe you. It really will be your first kiss~”
Lin Qianxi who was inexplicably involved, “…”
Tang Mo, “…”
Dammit, what about the first kiss? It was just being kissed by a little girl! What was wrong with it?
Bai Ruoyao shook his head. “We can’t let this little friend take advantage of you. The little friend hasn’t kissed anyone yet and the big Tang Mo is a virgin. We have to fix it for you first. Ah, Tang Tang, what do you think about Lin Qianxi?”
The suddenly named Lin Qianxi froze. “Me?”
Bai Ruoyao shook his head. “No, she has a boyfriend. She can’t take your first kiss.”
Lin Qianxi’s tone was strange, “How do you know that I have a boyfriend?”
Bai Ruoyao laughed. “Do you think I’m blind?”
Tang Mo looked at the engagement ring Lin Qianxi was wearing on her middle finger and remained silent.
Bai Ruoyao continued, “Lin Qianxi isn’t possible, Liu Wansheng… ah, he’s so ugly. He is wearing ugly yellow-rimmed gla.s.ses. Normal people wear black-rimmed gla.s.ses. He is wearing such ugly gla.s.ses. How else could Tang Tang deceive me and realize that I was looking at his dead air? You can’t kiss him, you definitely can’t. Lin Qianxi isn’t possible, Liu Wansheng isn’t possible…” Bai Ruoyao’s voice trailed off and he blinked with surprise. “Eh Tang Tang,do you want to kiss me?”
Tang Mo could no longer endure it. “I’ll kiss your sister!”
Tang Mo no longer hesitated. He strode up to Mosaic and picked up the little girl.
Mosaic cried out, “Eh, what do you want to do? Tang Mo, don’t mess around…”
Tang Mo didn’t hesitate to turn sideways and pushed his right cheek towards Mosaic’s mouth. Mosaic was scared. “Wait, I haven’t released the mosaic yet.” However, Tang Mo’s actions were too fast. Mosaic had just removed the mosaic near her mouth when Tang Mo’s face touched it.
Mosaic rubbed her lips and whispered, “Eh, it is quite slippery.” Then she kissed him again.
Tang Mo who was taken advantage of by the little girl, “…”
Tang Mo put Mosaic back on the ground and walked calmly to his original place, maintaining a distance of three metres from Mosaic.
All of this happened very suddenly. Even Bai Ruoyao looked stunned by Tang Mo taking the initiative to be kissed by Mosaic. Then he said with disappointment, “That isn’t a kiss.” After a moment, he grinned, “Tang Mo, if you don’t want to keep your first kiss then do you want to kiss me? I don’t like men but for you sake, I can be kissed…”
“You shut up!”
Tang Mo’s right hand moved and a small knife flew out. Bai Ruoyao twisted his body to avoid the blow.
On the other side of the turkey egg, Xiao Fu stopped and stared blankly at his brother.
“…Brother?”
Bang!
Xiao Fu jumped with shock while the middle-aged man with them was also scared.
Fu Wenduo retracted his hand and said calmly, “Let’s go.”
Xiao Fu looked at the big hole in the gla.s.s mountain with a stunned look and gulped before hurrying to catch up. As cobweb-like cracks spread on the gla.s.s mountain, the three players continued to move forward.
Mosaic’s magic matches and her kiss had all entered his hands. Tang Mo rubbed his cheek and asked, “What effect does your kiss have?”
The little girl c.o.c.ked her head. “I don’t know.”
Tang Mo hadn’t expected this answer. “You don’t know?”
Mosaic said, “The black tower wants me to kiss you so I kissed you. How do I know what the effect is? Last time, I gave you my contempt because I wanted to give it to you. Who knew that this would cause you to become the person with the lowest priority? Ah, that isn’t right. I helped you instead of hurting you!”
Mosaic didn’t know that this wasn’t the only time her contempt helped Tang Mo. Half a year ago, Tang Mo entered the big mole’s instance. The big mole sniffed his body and smelt Mosaic’s contempt and didn’t directly kill him. The effect of Mosaic’s kiss hadn’t yet appeared but since the black tower gave this reward, it certainly had a role.
Mosaic held the big match and looked at the time on the clock tower. She anxiously cried out, “Oh no, it is almost time. I have to go to the prairie! The people on the prairie must’ve missed me. I have to go set a fire and meet everyone’s emotions.” She seemed to think of something as she dropped and greed appeared in her eyes. She ran away while shouting, “The little kangaroo must particularly miss me. I know!”
The little girl in red held the big match that was inconsistent with her body size and ran through the university’s north gates.
The black tower boss left and the instance completely ended.
However, Lin Qianxi reached out and her expression changed. “What’s going on? We still can’t leave.”
Tang Mo reached out and found that they were still trapped by an invisible wall. He had a bad feeling and before he could speak, a lazy voice was heard from outside the entrance. “I’m back. Mosaic, you d.a.m.ned little girl who doesn’t like to study, have you read it well…” The voice stopped and the huge werewolf stood at the campus gates, looking at the empty yard with shock.
The next second, the werewolf’s roar rang out. “Ahhhhh! Where is that d.a.m.n little girl?!!” She twisted her head and stared at Tang Mo. “It’s you!” She kicked at the ground and rushed over. Tang Mo immediately opened the small parasol to block the werewolf’s sharp claws.
Everyone thought that the werewolf would attack them in order of priority. Unexpectedly, the werewolf turned away after Tang Mo blocked her blow and rushed to the nearest Liu Wansheng.
“Is it you? Did you let that girl go?”
Liu Wansheng dodged the blow in a disorderly manner, gaining three claw marks on his arm.
Lin Qianxi was chased by the werewolf and screamed with pain as her back was gouged by the werewolf. “Tang Mo, you said the werewolf wouldn’t kill us!”
The werewolf finally attacked Bai Ruoyao. “I thought you were a good teacher. I was wrong! Stupid human, you let her go!”
Bai Ruoyao rolled across the ground and avoided the werewolf’s continuous claw attacks. He threw his b.u.t.terfly knife towards the werewolf’s neck. The werewolf waved her mace and smashed the b.u.t.terfly knife into the ground.
The angry werewolf roared, “I’m going to eat you!”
The four players and the werewolf started a chase around the burning Peking University.
The werewolf saw that Lin Qianxi and Liu Wansheng could no longer hold on and raised her mace to smash it into Lin Qianxi’s head. Suddenly, a terrified voice was heard from outside the campus. “Not good, not good. Miss Wolf, your Mosaic has gone to Spirit Prairie to set fire to it!”
The werewolf’s movements suddenly stopped. She turned pale and the next moment she roared, “That d.a.m.n girl!” She kept shouting as she turned and ran, “I must kill her, this time I must kill her!” Then she ran out of Peking University.
The four people sat on the ground with trepidation, staring at the gate with vigilance in case the werewolf returned.
After half a minute, the fire burned the campus buildings down and the werewolf didn’t return.
Tang Mo whispered, “It turned out like this. The players won’t be eaten by the werewolf…”
The four people got up and found the invisible wall trapping them had disappeared. They could finally get out of here.
A variety of complicated emotions filled Lin Qianxi and Liu Wansheng’s heart. They avoided Bai Ruoyao. Their att.i.tude towards Tang Mo was also complicated. There was grat.i.tude mixed in with other emotions. After all, Tang Mo was the only one who profited from the game. They could accept the fact that they lost to each other, but acceptance was one thing. They still felt a deep jealousy and sense of unfairness towards Tang Mo.
Liu Wansheng spoke first, “Then I will be going.”
Lin Qianxi also said, “I’m going as well.”
The two people quickly left. On one hand, they didn’t want to stay here in case the werewolf came back. On the other hand, they wanted to avoid Bai Ruoyao and Tang Mo. The game ended and Bai Ruoyao and Tang Mo were no longer teammates or enemies. They were just powerful players.
No one knew whether Tang Mo or Bai Ruoyao would want to kill them and take away their props.
Only Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao were left in the huge campus.
The fire was still burning. Bai Ruoyao sat on the ground and held his chin as he watched the grand fire show with interest. Tang Mo didn’t pay attention to him and started moving. He was just about to leave the Peking University campus when Bai Ruoyao’s laughing voice was heard behind him. “Tang Mo, when did you get my ability?” The smile was clear but the tone was cold to the extreme.
Tang Mo’s footsteps stopped. It wasn’t because of the question but because the psychopath called him by his name instead of Tang Tang. He didn’t mind telling the other person, “The moment you fell into the bottomless pit in the Gem Corridor.”
Bai Ruoyao stopped smiling.
“Ah, so early. You got my ability so early. Hehe, Tang Tang, is my ability easy to use?”
Tang Mo didn’t speak to him again and left Peking University. He was taking a step when he remembered something. He didn’t look back as he asked, “You’re not following me this time?”
Bai Ruoyao’s tone was full of surprise. “Tang Tang, do you want me to follow you?”
Tang Mo didn’t answer.
“Oh, I feel special now. I really want to kill you. However, I know that you won’t die soon. That’s why I won’t follow you. I will wait until things are a bit calmer before going to find you and kill you. Tang Tang, don’t be lonely.”
[There will be no next time.]
[…Next time I will kill him.]
This voice suddenly filled his mind. Tang Mo was stunned before saying: [No, I will kill him next time.]
Some things really should be broken. Tang Mo didn’t look back at the psychopath as he strode away from Peking University.
It was evening and the sky was dimming. More and more players cleared the tower attack game and appeared in Beijing. Tang Mo walked through an alley. He had to leave the Peking University instance as soon as possible. This reality had attracted the attention of a large number of powerful players. He wanted to find a safe place to rest. There were 10 minutes left on the turkey egg’s archiver and he wanted to hear Fu Wenduo’s situation as much as possible.
As he turned into an alley, Tang Mo clung to the bluestone brick walk closely. He was about to turn into a tree-lined path when Tang Mo suddenly stopped. He pulled out the small parasol at a great speed and stabbed it behind him. A surprised male voice was heard. Tang Mo had placed the tip of the small parasol directly at the person’s throat.
The psychopath had followed him!
There was a loud collision sound. Tang Mo’s right hand supported his body while he prepared to smash the small parasol into the other person’s ankles. This was one of the more vulnerable parts of a human. If he could cut the person’s hamstrings then things would go more smoothly.
The small parasol was about to pierce the other person’s ankle when a shout was heard. “Tang, don’t! Don’t do it! It’s me!”
The tip of the small parasol stopped five centimeters from the other person’s ankle as Tang Mo raised his head with surprise. A huge figure blocked the light, like a mountain. The dim moonlight shone on Jack’s face, letting Tang Mo know who he was.
“…Jack?”
Tang Mo wondered, “You came to Beijing? Are you the only one?”
A voice filled with joy that was hard to hide was heard from behind Jack. “Brother Tang!”
The author has something to say:
Old Fu: Tang Tang’s first kiss is mine. [Cold Face]
Tang Tang: Your first kiss is mine, too ^_^
She Huiyao: Hehe, look at the two old virgins.
Old virgins Fu and Tang: I will kill you.
