The Earth is Online - Chapter 106

[Chapter 106]

Half an hour ago, the three of Tang Mo came to the gas station. Fu Wenduo got out of the car to look for gasoline, and Tang Mo decided to go to the bungalow across the road to see: they needed new supplies. After officially entering Beijing, the food that can be found will only become less and less. The trio’s current needs for food and water are extremely low, but not without. Tang Mo will prepare everything in advance to avoid accidents.

“There must be the ability to rewind time. They must have retraced time. Because there is a charred bookshelf behind the newsstand. The bookshelf was burnt to black, but on that bookshelf…” Tang Mo paused. After a pause, he said, “There is an intact magazine book.”

The three walked across the road and quickly found the charred bookshelf.

From the location of the bungalow where the four stowaways were ambushed just now, the bookshelf hidden behind the newsstand could not be seen. But just go around the newsstand and you can see it. The bookshelf was completely charred, almost just a steel shelf. There was a yellowed magazine on it, but there was no burnt mark at all.

No matter how strange this situation is, it is of course not ruled out that someone was so bored that they burned the bookshelf, and then put a magazine on it inexplicably.

But that’s enough.

In such an empty place, suddenly seeing a charred bookshelf with an intact book on it… What would you think?

Tang Mo didn’t know what Fu Wenduo and Fu Wensheng would think, but he felt that this was a hint that someone deliberately left him.

As in many detective novels, the protagonist goes somewhere and sees something very abnormal. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and he couldn’t guess for a while who left the clue and what he wanted to say. But he thought of a possibility: “The book may not have been put on the shelf after it burned down.”

Fu Wensheng was taken aback: “What?”

This bookshelf was burnt to the point of being a skeleton, and it would fall off when touched. The magazines on the bookshelf showed no signs of scorching, and it was obvious that someone had put them on it later. Wasn’t it put on the bookshelf after it was burnt down, could it be… could it be that the bookshelf was on it before it was burnt?

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows when he heard Tang Mo’s words, and looked at him deeply. Before, Tang Mo didn’t pay close attention to this bookshelf because he had to hurry up to deal with the four stowaways. He stepped forward and squatted on the ground, and took down the magazine from the bookshelf. Because of his actions, the bookshelf collapsed quickly.

Tang Mo looked at the title and date on the magazine. He turned around and waved the magazine: “This magazine is quite famous and sold all over the country. The date above is November 18.”

Fu Wensheng immediately thought: “The day when the Black Tower officially started the game?”

Tang Mo nodded: “Yes. This kind of bookshelf usually contains popular magazines and books. The boss puts the best-selling items on the small bookshelf and takes them outside the newsstand to make it easier for passersby to see. This magazine may have been on the shelf for a long time, maybe five months before today.”

Fu Wensheng still didn’t understand what was going on, but Tang Mo had already figured it all out.

Before, he suspected that someone was ambushing nearby because the bookshelf was too weird. From the beginning to the end, he was not sure whether someone was really ambushing, or where. But he was suspicious. So after entering the newsstand, he used turkey eggs to communicate with Fu Wenduo, and told Fu Wenduo about the strange phenomenon he had seen. The two made decisions with great speed: one to search the bungalow, the other to search the restaurant on the other side of the intersection. Because these two are the best places to hide people.

Maybe no one was in ambush at all, maybe this strange bookshelf was just a prank by a certain player, but Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo would not let go of any doubts.

Fu Wenduo didn’t know about this, but Fu Wensheng knew it. Tang Mo said, “Hush, you should know what burned this bookshelf.”

Fu Wensheng was taken aback: “I know?”

“Yes, you know.”

The little boy lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly he said in shock, “…that big match of yours?!”

That’s right, it’s Mosaic’s big match.

Two months ago, in the jewel corridor of Queen of Hearts, Tang Mo used a big match to light Bai Ruoyao’s arm, and told him mercilessly: If you don’t cut off your arm, you will be burned to death by this fire. .

[Prop: Mosaic’s big match]

【Owner: Tang Mo】

…

[Function: An unquenchable flame. A match can be lit at will, once the flame of the match ignites an object, the law of causality acts, only when the object is burnt clean, the flame can be extinguished; it is harder than you can imagine. 】

This bookshelf was destroyed by a big match.

Only objects that are ignited by a big match will be burned because of the law of causality.

“When I went back in time, I must have discovered the reincarnation of this time, but I didn’t know how to remind myself that someone was in an ambush. So I lit the bookshelf with a big match and took away a book on it.” Tang Mo put the magazine on the charred remnants of the bookshelf, “because the magazine was taken away, it was not ignited by the flame of a big match. After going back in time, it returned to the bookshelf again. But the bookshelf has been burnt down.”

Fu Wensheng looked at the bookshelves and magazines on the ground: “That’s why there is an intact magazine on the charred bookshelf.”

After determining the cause of the incident, the three returned to the gas station to dispose of the bodies of the four stowaways.

Tang Mo stretched out his hand and pulled out his power book from the air. He turned to the penultimate page and looked at the text on it.

[Ability: High | The tide always comes very quickly]

[Owner: Zhao Kewei (stowaway)]

[Type: Atomic]

[Function: Go back to the physical state of all substances within a certain area, and restore the state of all substances to one minute ago. 】

【Level: Level 3】

[Restriction: The physical strength improvement space is 0. From the start of the use of the ability, a 60-second material change must be experienced before the retrospective ability can be used. When this power is used, all living objects in the used area will feel a strong physiological need. It can be used up to seven times a day, and the user’s corresponding cellular life will be consumed while retracing the physical state. If multiple life objects are restored, the cellular life will be consumed multiple times. 】

[Remarks: The climax|climax always comes very quickly, so it is necessary to taste it repeatedly. 】

[Tang Mo version instructions: use it at most once a day, consumes double the life of cells. There is a 5% chance that the physical state of the living body cannot be traced back. For Tang Mo, a one-minute climax|climax… Wait, can Tang Mo’s climax|climax be for one minute? I earned it! 】

… It turns out that the strange coughing urge he felt when crossing the road was because of this ability? !

Tang Mo has long been used to complaining about the power book, his eyelids twitched, his eyes fixed on the functions and limitations of this power.

It turns out that it is not directly rewinding time, but rewinding the physical state of all matter in one minute?

Tang Mo thought: “This way it can better explain why the bookshelf has not been restored, and the time of that magazine and other things has been retraced.”

It is not time that goes back, but the physical state of matter. So the magazines that were taken aside returned to the bookshelves, but the bookshelves could not be restored due to the law of causality.

“Have you got that person’s ability?”

Tang Mo nodded. He subconsciously wanted to directly hand Fu Wenduo the power book, but just as he stretched out his hand, he instantly retracted. Tang Mo coughed and threw the shameless book back into the air. He explained: “It’s not a retrospective in the objective sense, his power…” After a pause, Tang Mo sorted out his remarks: “His power is to trace back the physical state of all matter within a certain area, and reply One minute.”

For example, the rain in the sky. A minute ago this drop of rain was still a mixture of condensation nuclei and water vapor. It fell slowly from the cloud. At the 59th second, it landed on the ground with a clatter and melted into a puddle. However, with this power, everything is reversed. The physical state of this drop of rain has returned to the state of the mixture of condensation nucleus and water vapor, and its physical position has also been restored, returning to the dark cloud.

Tang Mo’s science has never been very good. He carefully recalled the instructions in the power book, and finally came to a general conclusion: “All in all, this can indeed be regarded as a power that goes back in time, but it cannot retrospect some of the effects of the law of causality. Time for something that works. Like a bookshelf burned by a big match.”

Fu Wenduo: “Are there any restrictions?”

Tang Mo: “There are quite a lot of restrictions. For example, I can only use it once a day, and it will consume my life.”

Fu Wenduo frowned: “Consuming life?”

Tang Mo briefly explained. This kind of ability that will consume the user’s life, he also has one – a very fast man. Since Tang Mo had this ability, he tried not to use it as much as possible. Because such an ability is too powerful. Once used too much, psychological dependence, he can not help but continue to use.

Such abilities are too powerful, and facing this extreme temptation, Tang Mo can’t guarantee that he can resist using them.

“This kind of power is like a drug.” Tang Mo said with emotion, “But I guess players who use these powers may not know their side effects. It’s like you and Xiaosheng only know how to use powers and don’t know. The clear supernatural functions and restrictions are the same.”

Fu Wenduo: “I still don’t know what my power is.”

Tang Mo was stunned for a while, then he turned to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo stood by the window, bowed his head slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and looked at Tang Mo.

After they set off from Nanjing and headed to Beijing, Tang Mo first checked Fu Wensheng’s abilities. The private money ability has a three-day cooldown, and within three days, Tang Mo can no longer view Fu Wenduo’s ability. After that, however, he kept trying to touch Fu Wenduo’s hand while he was driving. The two touched for a full six hours, but Tang Mo finally gave up and never mentioned it again.

“If it’s so difficult to get a person’s power, how did that woman get your power in such a short period of time?”

Tang Mo was startled and looked up at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo’s dark eyes stared at Tang Mo tightly. Tang Mo vaguely felt that the other party might have guessed something. With Fu Wenduo’s powerful associative ability, it might be possible for him to guess the truth. But Tang Mo’s expression didn’t change. He said calmly, “The ability I copied will be weakened. That’s her ability, and she is naturally more convenient to use than me.”

“Is that so.” Fu Wenduo gave a meaningful “oh”, “I felt like… something wasn’t right, um, something wasn’t right in the one minute when that person used the retrospective ability. Tang Mo , do you feel it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Wensheng said loudly, “Oh yes, brother, I also feel my body warm, so strange. You feel it too?”

Fu Wenduo said lightly, “You are only twelve years old.”

Fu Wensheng: “Ah? What does this have to do with me being twelve years old?”

You’re only twelve years old, and you probably haven’t reached the age where you can feel pleasure.

Tang Mo silently added Fu Wenduo’s words in his heart, and then: “…”

…Damn, is this person a dog! How can he smell something when something is not good!

Tang Mo quickly changed the subject: “Check their bodies, maybe you can find some useful clues.”

Fu Wensheng was about to ask himself what happened when he was twelve years old. When Fu Wenduo heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Tang Mo. He smiled lowly and said nothing more.

As long as Tang Mo doesn’t admit it, Fu Wenduo’s guess is just guessing.

Tang Mo didn’t quite understand why Fu Wenduo, a straight man, had so many bizarre conjectures, and he was always interested in his little book, but every time… he could guess that some people were very unfamiliar with straight men. Friendly content. Thinking of the countless complaints about him in the cheap ability book, Tang Mo secretly decided: I can’t let anyone see the contents of the book in this life, I can’t in this life!

Four strange players suddenly appeared and attacked him. Tang Mo didn’t think it was a coincidence.

“These people are not low in strength, they are not ordinary players, and almost all of them have supernatural abilities. 70% of the time, they have been in ambush long ago, waiting for us here on purpose, and they may even have followed us for a long time, but they are very powerful, we No one found it. There is still a 30% chance that they were just passing by and robbing.” After a pause, Tang Mo said, “Fu Wenduo and I will examine these three corpses, whisper, go and see that person’s corpse.”

Fu Wensheng nodded.

The three split up.

What Tang Mo was examining was the corpse of a man with the ability to look back in time.

On the cold concrete floor, the middle-aged man stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. After the earth went online, Tang Mo saw a lot of corpses, and even more terrifying ones. He closed the eyes of the corpse expressionlessly and began to search for things on the other side.

Killing this person is actually an accident, but it is also inevitable. If you don’t kill this person, the other party can continue to retrospect the ability, and everything starts from scratch.

Those four players were smart. When Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took the initiative to attack, they understood that their ability to go back in time must have been discovered. It was either an item or an ability that could go back in time. They made a straightforward decision to let the three delay Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo and let the other companion escape.
