The Earth is Online - Chapter 13

[Chapter Thirteen]

“Smugglers have a very stinky smell. Heta hates stowaways the most. If you eat stowaways, you can get a lot of rewards and get huge power. The meat of stowaways is also very delicious. Who am I? Didn’t tell.”

The giant mole squinted its tiny eyes and smashed the turkey bones on the ground with one foot. “Among the seven of you, there is an abominable stowaways. Hand him over and I will eat him!”

The big mole approached step by step.

The cook woke up in a daze, and when he looked up, he saw the sharp claws of the big mole, and screamed in horror. The mole let out a sharp hiss at him, and the cook nearly fainted again.

Tang Mo touched his wrist, the pattern of the big match was no longer on his wrist. According to what Mole said just now, this match could accompany Tang Mo through the second floor, which means that it must be useful on the first floor. Tang Mo could feel that he didn’t use the function of the match, he just waved the match blindly.

If he was given a little more time to attack the tower later, he might be able to make better preparations.

…so why start attacking the tower in advance now!

Tang Mo’s mind flashed the name of the stowaways who started the tower attack game, but he didn’t have time to complain. He asked calmly, “Who is the stowaways? How do we find him and give it to you?”

Li Wen and Lin Qiao opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Tang Mo.

Luo Fengcheng glanced at him and said nothing. The little girl Peng Liwen looked at Tang Mo blankly, her eyes twinkling, as if she didn’t understand what he meant.

Lin Qiao couldn’t help but say: “Really want to hand it over? This mole said it wants to eat people…”

Tang Mo looked indifferent and asked back, “Then you will serve as his dinner instead of the stowaways?”

Lin Qiao choked for a while.

Luo Fengcheng’s faint voice sounded: “The stowaways is a murderer. Maybe he was forced to kill people, or he killed people because of excessive defense. The law may not sentence him to death in the outside world, but the black tower hates stowaways and has already He was sentenced to death. We were just looking for the stowaways, nothing else.”

Li Bin’s expression changed and nodded: “Well, yes… We just want to find out who the stowaways are.”

The big mole chuckled: “How do I know who the stowaways are. My cave is not big enough, you people gather together, the smell of stowaways wafts all over the cave and can’t be found. I give You have an hour to find that abominable stowaway. If you can’t find it, I will eat a human in an hour, and I will definitely be able to eat a stowaway.” The big mole looked at Tang Mo: “Oh yes, you are related to Mosaic. Very good, also lend me matches… Then I’ll eat you at the end.”

Tang Mo didn’t react much to this gift.

Big Mole looked at Tang Mo’s indifferent appearance, laughed again, and ran to the corner to start digging. It seemed to want to dig its own hole, and after digging two pieces, it turned its head: “It’s been two minutes, have you found the stowaways?”

Everyone listened to Big Mole’s words, and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

Li Bin glanced at everyone, gritted his teeth and asked, “I’ll just ask again, in those three days, who of you… killed people?”

No doubt, everyone shook their heads.

“I guessed it would be like this.” From the moment he entered the cave, this white-collar elite looked like a leader, and now is no exception. Li Bin pretended to be calm and began to analyze the situation: “This mole said that stowaways are the ones who eliminated players by killing in those three days. The stowaways must have supernatural abilities, and they still smell very bad. This smell I didn’t smell it, did you smell it?”

Lin Qiao shook her head: “No. My sense of smell has always been very sensitive. There is only the smell of earth here.”

Everyone said no, and Li Bin’s face was ugly: “Then we humans may not smell this smell, only they can smell it. Damn, how can we find out the stowaways!”

Luo Fengcheng: “The stowaways have killed people and have supernatural abilities.”

Because the cook has been in a coma for a long time, he has not heard the popular science of the big mole, and can’t keep up with everyone’s rhythm. “Murder?! Ability? Wait, what’s going on?”

Everyone didn’t have time to explain to him, so Li Bin asked, “You have killed people, you have supernatural powers. So what?” Li Bin suddenly turned his head and looked at Tang Mo: “You must have supernatural powers!”

Tang Mo just conjured a big match out of thin air. It was definitely not within the reach of manpower, but an ability.

Li Wen explained to Tang Mo: “Big Mole said that among the seven of us, there are two official players, four reservists and one smuggler. The official players participated in the official game of the Black Tower and logged into the Black Tower. Tang Mo should be Official player. He knows a man named Mosaic, who knows the big mole, and must have something to do with the Black Tower game.”

Tang Mo: “I did participate in the Black Tower game. According to the big mole, I am an official player.”

Li Bin shook his head: “Before today, you may have indeed participated in the Black Tower game, but no one can guarantee that you participated in the Black Tower game within those three days. Now it has passed since the Black Tower issued the ‘Earth Online’ announcement. Four days. Who can be sure that you didn’t play the game on day four and kill someone during those three days?”

Tang Mo suddenly felt a little funny, he just wanted to refute, but he heard Luo Fengcheng say: “He is an official player. The black tower hates stowaways, stowaways have a smell on them. If he is not an official player, then he is seeing Da Mole. Before the rat, he must have been discovered by Mosaic, the companion of the big mole. He will not live to this day, and he also got the match of Mosaic just now.”

Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng in surprise, and the latter also looked at him.

The two didn’t speak anymore, and the others understood. Li Bin said: “It makes sense. There is a 90% chance that you are indeed an official player. There is also a 10% chance that you are a stowaways. I didn’t know how to hide my taste before, and it was not discovered by that mosaic.”

After a pause, Li Bin suddenly walked to the center of the seven and looked at everyone seriously: “Now I confess, I am the second official player.”

Tang Mo was a little surprised.

Li Bin smiled bitterly and raised his right hand: “My ability is very tasteless, I don’t want to reveal too much about the specific ability, but in the current situation, it is useless at all. But I can cover up my ability for you. supernatural effect.”

Powers are everyone’s secrets, and it’s understandable if you don’t want to reveal them.

I saw Li Bin squatting on the ground, stretched out his right finger, and began to draw a circle on the ground. A smooth and smooth curve gradually appears on the ground. This is an extremely neat circle. The last stroke just falls on the starting point, forming a perfect and closed circle from beginning to end.

This is a circle drawn purely with fingers without tools.

Lin Qiao’s eyes widened: “It’s so round? Shouldn’t your ability be ‘can draw a circle without a compass’?”

What kind of anomaly is this?

Tang Mo frowned slightly: “Although this circle is too neat, it doesn’t mean that you have supernatural powers. You may have learned to paint professionally.”

Li Bin said: “Then look at it again.”

I saw Li Bin stretched out his finger and drew a circle next to the circle just now. Round and round, full and round, this circle is an extremely perfect circle, and look carefully.

“Ah! Is this the same size as the circle just now?!” Lin Qiao said in surprise.

Li Bin looked helpless: “What exactly is my ability, I don’t want to say, but I think you should believe that I have ability? I am the remaining official player.”

“You…you have supernatural powers, why can’t you be a stowaways?” The little girl Peng Liwen stood behind Lin Qiao and spoke timidly, her face pale.

Li Bin: “I took the initiative to stand up and say that I am an official player. Could it still be a stowaways? Children, if it was a stowaways, I would definitely hide it now, so that no one would know that I had supernatural powers. Now we are seven Personally, only this brother is the safest.” He pointed at Tang Mo, “He is probably an official player. Nine times out of ten, he is really an official player. Big Mole said that the reserve can also have powers, but the probability is very low, so let’s just assume he doesn’t have powers. .Then the people with supernatural abilities that appear next are half likely to be stowaways.”

Li Bin analyzed it seriously: “In this case, I took the initiative to stand up and reveal to you that I have powers. This proves that I am not afraid of shadows, right?”

Li Wen stood beside Tang Mo and interjected, “You may also be using our reverse thinking.”

Li Bin said: “In this case, you let the third person with supernatural powers stand up. As long as he dares to stand up, he must be a stowaways. Because I know that I have never killed anyone, and I have participated in games. This little brother is also an official player. Then the third one with the ability is definitely a stowa!”

Tang Mo: “I believe in you.”

Li Bin had been acting calm just now, but in fact his lips had been trembling slightly. Now suddenly hearing Tang Mo’s words, he shivered excitedly and walked directly to Tang Mo’s side: “Brother, thank you. I’m really an official player, I can tell you the games I’ve played, and I’ll tell you how I am. Anyone who won that game can say.”

Tang Mo smiled, shook his head and said, “You don’t need to say it, we all have to say it.”

In the dark underground cave, the large mole rattled and crunched, whistling pleasantly.

The seven got together before speaking about each person’s three-day experience.

Luo Fengcheng glanced at everyone’s face earnestly and said, “All the murders in this world, I roughly divide them into three types.”

“The first type, accidental type. This is the most common cause of murder. Many times people are emotional and cannot control themselves, and they may be murdered by mistake; or if they are too defensive or an accidental accident, they may kill people. It was an unintentional mistake. If the stowaways among us accidentally killed people, when the big mole explained the definition of stowaways, he would definitely be upset, feel that he had been exposed, and he had a guilty conscience. exposed | exposed.”

Li Wen was shocked: “Ah, then you didn’t say it earlier. It’s been so long now, who knows how everyone reacted at that time.”

Tang Mo said, “I paid attention. Everyone’s reactions were normal at the time, and they weren’t too excited.”

Luo Fengcheng glanced at Tang Mo: “He’s right.”

Since entering this cave, Tang Mo has never let down his guard. Having experienced a life-and-death two-player confrontation game, Tang Mo couldn’t believe these unfamiliar “teammates”.

Luo Fengcheng continued: “So there is an 80% chance that the stowaways among us did not commit a crime by accident. He knew that he was killing people, but he did it intentionally. The second type of killing is the murderous type. He simply wanted to kill. The reason is generally to satisfy one’s own perverted psychological or physical needs.”

Everyone touched their necks, it was a little cold.

This kind of murderer is not uncommon, and serial murderers basically belong to this type.

But Tang Mo frowned.

Only to hear Luo Fengcheng finally say: “I think, this stowaways among us should belong to the third type. He intentionally kills, but he has no intention of killing. He knows that he is killing, but he is not a murderer. He has his own The reason for the killing. So when it is exposed, he will not be surprised, because he already knows what he did and why he did it.”

Li Wen swallowed: “…I also think there should be no such anti-social crazy murderers among us.”

Lin Qiao felt a little cold: “I agree too. It should be the third type.”

Tang Mo has been listening quietly to Luo Fengcheng’s words. He walked in front of Luo Fengcheng and said with a smile, “What you said really makes sense. So we can continue the previous topic now? Why don’t we just It starts with you. Mr. Lowe, what did you do in those three days? Are you really a game designer? Where do you work?”

Luo Fengcheng raised his head slightly and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him.

Tang Mo’s expression was not too aggressive, but there was a trace of doubt and questioning in his eyes.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Luo Fengcheng took out a certificate from his pocket and handed it over: “In those three days, I conducted a black tower research experiment under the black tower. Let me get to know you formally, the head of the group A of the Shanghai division of the Black Tower Research Institute, Luo Fengcheng. .”
