The Earth is Online - Chapter 144
[Chapter 144]
“Who are you!”
The roar echoed in the yard, and the voice was full of surprise and panic. Li Chaocheng stared at the three people in front of him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to see through them. However, after Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan heard his words, their expressions were calm and did not change at all. Jakes, on the other hand, has not yet responded to the meaning of what the other party said, and did not give a special response.
Tang Mo looked coldly at this “transparent person” player with a frightened face, his surface was calm, but countless thoughts flashed in his heart.
Transparent people don’t know the world is merging!
Tang Mo was a little strange from the very beginning. The Black Tower has always been fair. This time, the two worlds suddenly merged. The Black Tower did not report, but the transparent people could come and go freely in the two worlds. This is so unfair to the surviving players.
It took half a month for Tang Mo to learn the truth about the time rankings and the players who disappeared from Bai Ruoyao’s mouth. Ordinary players without an organization would have to take longer to find out the facts. These players don’t know anything, and even when they meet transparent people and are called “meat pigs” by the other party and kill them, they don’t understand who is killing them and why these people are killing themselves.
Originally, Tang Mo thought that the black tower was deliberately creating such unfairness.
Half a year ago, more than six billion humans disappeared out of thin air. Tang Mo didn’t know what happened to these humans after they disappeared, and whether they would continue to challenge the black tower game and attack the tower. But just based on a time ranking list, it can be seen that the world facing these six billion people must be much crueler than the survivors.
They have survived in a cruel and terrifying world for half a year, and now the Black Tower 4.0 version is about to be updated, the two worlds are merged, and the transparent people seem to be able to return to the earth. They have already been greatly unfair (due to bad luck and did not successfully load the game), and now the black tower gives them another kind of fairness: the surviving players do not know their existence, which is regarded as compensation.
The original black tower is fair.
Tang Mo put his hands in his pockets and said in a low voice, “Luck is still a kind of strength, and it’s never unfair.”
Hearing these words, the middle-aged man quickly turned his head and looked at Tang Mo. The bright sun shone on the young man’s face, and there were no numbers on his neck, but Li Chaocheng felt a long-lost sense of oppression. He once experienced this feeling in a dungeon, when he met the 36th madman in the time ranking.
Li Chaocheng’s brain was running fast, and he could enter the time ranking list. Not only did he kill a lot of people, but he was not a fool. Almost instantly he understood what Tang Mo said, but the truth made him tremble in shock, with surprise and panic in his eyes, he blurted out: “You…you are not returnees! You are the lucky ones of the 400 million, damn it people!”
Jakes: “Returner?”
Li Chaocheng closed his mouth immediately, he looked at Tang Mo with a strange look, then looked at Chen Shanshan and Jakes.
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed wildly. His facial muscles twitched like a twitch, and the scar on his eye seemed to come alive because of this crazy laugh, twisting and wriggling across his face. He smiled and said, “We’re back? We’re already back?” Before getting an answer from Tang Mo and the others, Li Chaocheng’s laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly said, “No, it’s definitely not back yet, if you come back, Black Tower We will be notified, there must be a notification. There is no notification now, could it be…”
Li Chaocheng opened his mouth wide: “Is it because of Mu Huixue?!”
Without the need for Tang Mo and the three to give answers, Li Chaocheng repeated to himself: “Yes, it must be because of Mu Huixue. Half a month ago, the black tower gave her a briefing, and she went to clear the fourth floor of the black tower. It turned out to be The fourth floor of the black tower, the fourth floor is the key to the return. But the clearance was not completely successful, so…we have not fully returned yet?”
After saying this, Li Chaocheng’s eyes widened, as if he understood something.
He knew his current situation.
In just a few minutes, Tang Mo and the others didn’t tell him anything at all, but with a little bit of words, and Tang Mo’s trivial expressions, Li Chaocheng almost realized the truth of the matter. When he knew the truth, he closed his mouth directly with an extremely weird smile on his face.
In the process of thinking about the truth just now, Li Chaocheng has been trying hard to untie the rubber rope that bound him. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t solve it. After half a minute he simply gave up.
This short and thin middle-aged man sat on the ground, looked at the three humans in front of him, and laughed sinisterly.
He just smiled and didn’t speak, and the smile was full of malice.
Jakes couldn’t help but said angrily, “What are you looking at.”
Li Chaocheng looked at him, sneered, and said nothing.
Jakes: “You…!”
Jakes was furious, he didn’t understand how the man had changed so much in a few minutes. A few minutes ago, he was very frustrated and panicked, because he was caught by the three Tang Mo and tied up, unable to escape. But after a few minutes, the expression on his face kept changing, and in the end it turned into this indifferent look.
Under the sun, his ugly smile was very dazzling.
Tang Mo watched for a while, then slowly squatted down, his eyes were level with the man. The two stared at each other quietly, neither of them said a word. A minute later, Tang Mo raised the corners of his lips, and his voice was calm: “So you are called returnees. Is that what the Black Tower called you, or did you call yourself that?”
Li Chaocheng was shocked, but he instantly hid his emotions and asked, “What returnee, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Chen Shanshan’s calm voice sounded aside: “You are not a fool, and we are not fools. You have already said that, if he is the only one in the time rankings and returnees, you may really be deceived by you.” The little girl pointed to Jack. Si, then added: “What you can think of, we can also think of. Although you know the truth, we have caught it now. We want to know one thing very much… What the hell is going on in the time rankings. ”
Li Chaocheng wasn’t nervous when his own words were exposed. He sneered: “The time ranking? You are not very smart, you are not fools, you still need to ask me about this kind of thing. You already know the time ranking, so you can ask me who is on the ranking list. kind of talk.”
“Killing a person can get ten minutes of basic time, and if the other party has extra time, he can also get half of his extra time.”
Li Chaocheng turned his head and looked at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows: “These ordinary things, our surviving players…that is, the 400 million goddamn lucky humans that you call them all know all about it. This is a completely open secret on Earth.”
Li Chaocheng’s eyes clenched: Surviving players actually know everything about their returnees? !
But in the next second, he reacted: “Impossible, you lied to me! Even I only know now that we are about to return, how can you stupid humans living in the cradle of Mother Heita know!”
Tang Mo said lightly: “This is indeed an open secret, you can choose to believe it or not.” The voice stopped, Tang Mo smiled and said, “So… do you believe it?”
Li Chaocheng: “You…!”
The middle-aged man clenched his teeth and looked like he was dazzled by Tang Mo’s anger, lost his mind, and his face flushed red. In fact, his heart was clear and his mind kept thinking. That group of goddamn 400 million idiots actually discovered the information about the fusion of the two worlds before their returnees? Will these 400 million people be so smart?
No, half a year after the earth went online, the 400 million people are probably not tens of millions left. The remaining tens of millions should have cleared at least the first floor of the black tower, which is considered a little bit of strength. Their strength is really that strong, and everyone discovered the truth… stronger than him?
Li Chaocheng’s reason told himself that this young man must be lying to himself, how could the strength of the 400 million human beings be stronger than himself. But he wasn’t sure about his own judgment. If the 400 million players are really that strong, it will be no less than a disaster for their returnees.
Li Chaocheng lowered his head, hid his expression, and stopped talking.
Jakes was really angry and annoyed when he saw him suddenly cowardly. He wanted to say a few words to scold this guy who was very arrogant just now, but Tang Mo stopped him: “What’s the matter with the time ranking.”
Li Chaocheng immediately raised his head and looked at Tang Mo: “Don’t all of you surviving idiots know what it is.”
Tang Mo smiled: “I said, we know what it means and how we can get time. But how did it appear, was it directly given to you by the Black Tower, or was it a special item? ?” Tang Mo has seen many strange abilities, and it’s not impossible that the time rankings are abilities. Once upon a time, there was a young man named Taotie who had the ability to strengthen the physical fitness of others.
Li Chaocheng mocked: “Why should I tell you?”
Tang Mo pointed to the rubber rope that tied him: “You are tied by us now.”
Li Chaocheng smiled: “Just because of this? I thought you were the best among the 400 million players. You should be very smart, but that’s all.”
Tang Mo’s face did not change: “I only cleared the first floor of the black tower, and I am considered the bottom of the 400 million players.”
Hearing this, Jakes’ eyelids jumped. Chen Shanshan is young after all, she understands that Tang Mo is putting psychological pressure on this man, but she is not thick-skinned enough, so she couldn’t help but glance at Tang Mo.
Li Chaocheng: “I don’t believe it! How could you be the bottom of the 400 million idiots!”
Tang Mo smiled slightly: “You can choose to believe it or not. So… do you believe it?”
“You…!” Li Chaocheng was so angry again that he was speechless.
Tang Mo threw two questions to Li Chaocheng in a row. Although Li Chaocheng didn’t believe what he said, he was worried that what Tang Mo said was the truth. He kept his mouth shut and refused to answer Tang Mo’s question. Tang Mo asked twice, but Li Chaocheng still insisted on not answering. Time passed, Tang Mo sighed softly and stood up: “You think that you will disappear sooner or later and return to the world where your returnees are, so you can escape without compromising with us.”
This sentence is an affirmative sentence, without the slightest doubt.
Li Chaocheng looked up at Tang Mo in disbelief, and he hurriedly retorted, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Tang Mo: “You guessed right, your returnees did suddenly appear on Earth and then suddenly disappeared. The speed of disappearance was very fast, and there was no sign before disappearing.” He was able to guess this by himself, and at the same time, he was able to calm down and act after knowing the favorable conditions for him, which also showed that this person had a deep mind, which made Tang Mo a little surprised. . However……
“Don’t worry, I will definitely kill you the moment you disappear.”
Li Chaocheng gritted his teeth and did not speak.
Tang Mo: “I’m telling the truth, but you can choose to believe it or not, so… do you believe it?”
Li Chaocheng didn’t want to negotiate with this unfathomable young man anymore. He didn’t want to hear this sentence anymore, he said directly: “Yes, I am indeed waiting for myself to return to that world. Now we have not fully returned, Black Tower. Version 4.0 has not been updated either, so I can definitely go back. I don’t care if I believe it or not, I thought you were very smart, don’t you realize that after you said that, I have no reason to tell you what I know?”
Tang Mo raised an eyebrow.
Li Chaocheng: “As you said, you will definitely kill me before I disappear. I will definitely die anyway, so why should I tell you what I know?”
Tang Mo pretended to be surprised: “I didn’t think of this problem? I was negligent.”
Li Chaocheng suddenly realized that something was wrong. His heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over him. I saw this handsome young man turned his head and looked at the foreign strong man beside him. He raised his right hand and waved at the foreign strong man. On that slender right hand, the index finger was almost completely cut off, leaving only a layer of skin sticking to it.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, Li Chaocheng remembered that he seemed to have shot through the young man’s finger just now, but he didn’t show any pain when he spoke just now.
The unease in Li Chaocheng’s heart was even stronger.
Then, he heard the young man say with a smile: “Jakes, we can’t kill him now, but we still have to pry some useful information out of his mouth. You help me hold his right hand.” Mo moved his finger, and a small silver knife appeared in his palm. The smile on his face was very bright: “I chop off his fingers one by one, maybe he will be willing to talk?”
Li Chaocheng’s scalp went numb, and cold sweat dripped down.
Jakes nodded and helped Tang Mo hold Li Chaocheng’s right hand. Tang Mo’s first choice was Li Chaocheng’s index finger. Tang Mo’s hand has gradually grown a layer of pink and tender flesh, the blood has filled his hand, and it has already solidified into a blood scar, which looks hideous and terrifying. He put the sharp blade on Li Chaocheng’s index finger. Although Li Chaocheng’s face was pale, he sneered: “This is your only means? It turns out that you 400 million idiots have this little strength, even breaking a few fingers is very important. Isn’t it just cutting my finger, just cut it off.”
“Who said they were going to chop off your fingers?”
Li Chaocheng was stunned.
Tang Mo looked up at him: “I want to slice it little by little.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Mo slashed down and blood spattered. The knife cut the meat like mud, and cut a thin layer of meat directly. Li Chaocheng’s body trembled, and a wild beast-like roar came out of his throat. Tang Mo actually only cut a layer of meat with a thickness of one millimeter! Before Li Chaocheng could react from the severe pain, Tang Mo struck down again.
“what!!!”
Even Jakes couldn’t stand this scene.
Tang Mo lowered his head, pressed Li Chaocheng’s right index finger expressionlessly, and cut thin layers of meat with a knife little by little. He seemed to be chopping vegetables, focusing carefully. There is no superfluous expression on his face, and only he knows what he is thinking.
Jakes finally couldn’t help it: “No, Don, I can’t take it anymore.”
A hand was placed on Li Chaocheng’s wrist, Jakes looked at it in surprise, and Chen Shanshan calmly said, “I’ll come.”
Jakes: “…Okay.”
Who would have thought that Jakes was the first of the three who couldn’t bear it, but Chen Shanshan and Tang Mo instead. One is holding hands and the other is cutting meat. When Tang Mo reached the middle of Li Chaocheng’s index finger, the middle-aged man was already in a cold sweat, panting heavily, his face pale, like a drowning man screaming in pain: “I said, I said! Say!”
Tang Mo’s meat-cutting movement stopped. He raised his head and glanced at Li Chaocheng. With a movement of the knife, he directly cut off his index finger this time.
Tang Mo: “It would have been better if this happened earlier.”
Chen Shanshan nodded and wiped the blood that had splattered on her hands: “It would have been better if it had been this way.”
Jacks: “…”
Li Chaocheng: “…”
He now somewhat believes that the 400 million players are really terrifying! ! !
Next, Li Chaocheng reluctantly told Tang Mo what he knew.
“Three months ago, on January 12, 2018, I had just cleared the second floor of the Black Tower and took a break during my break. I rested until the eighth minute, and the Black Tower suddenly issued an announcement…” The voice was a little bit Husky, Li Chaocheng seemed to be recalling the scene at that time.
“Ding dong! Dijan Galawa, a player in the first district of South Asia, successfully cleared the dungeon ‘The Back of the Clock of Truth’ and opened the time rankings.”
“Ding dong! Dijian Galava, a player in the first district of South Asia…”
The crisp child’s voice resounded loudly in the ears of more than two billion humans. A total of three times, when the voice sounded, people’s expressions were numb, their bodies were all covered with wounds, blood on their faces, and blood on their clothes. The stains rubbed against their entire cheeks, as if they hadn’t bathed and rested for three months, and their eyes were bloodshot. Even if the voice sounded, they just heard it and did not respond.
After hearing the notice from the Black Tower, they dragged their bodies like walking corpses and walked slowly in the game, lying on the ground and staring at the sky with wide eyes, resting greedily.
However, this time, after the three broadcasts, the voice of the black tower did not stop. It sounded a cheerful sound of music.
That day, on January 12, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were fighting against twenty-one players on the first floor of the Black Tower in the assembly copy ‘Night of Surprise at the Circus’. On that day, January 12, the more than 100 million surviving players on Earth did not realize that in another world, a reformation was about to begin.
If it was on Earth, the black tower would broadcast whose name three times, and even play a song for it, all players would definitely stop what they were doing and listen carefully to the black tower’s broadcast. But in that world, the players are still doing their own thing indifferently. They don’t seem to hear the sound of the black tower, nor the cheerful music.
After half a minute, the music stopped abruptly, and the loud sound of the black tower sounded——
“Ding dong! The time ranking rules are as follows-”
“First, consistent with the present, each player has a ten-minute rest period after each round of the game as the initial test time.”
“Second, if you kill a player who has the first trial time, you can take ten minutes from the opponent as an extra rest time.”
“Third, the extra rest time will show a specific number on the neck.”
“Fourth, if you kill a player with extra rest time, you can get half of the other party’s extra rest time in addition to the ten-minute initial trial time.”
“Fifth, every time before entering a new game, players can check the real-time information of the time rankings.”
“Sixth, there are a total of 100 places in the time ranking. Kill the top 100 players, you can get a 50-minute rest time; kill the top 50 players, you can get a 100-minute rest time; kill the top 20 players. Players can get 500 minutes of rest time; kill the top ten players, get a high-quality item; kill the third player, get the privilege of abstaining from any black tower game; kill the second player, You can get a rare quality item.”
“Seventh, kill the first player to get a chance to respawn. This chance can revive any player who died in the Black Tower game.”
“Ding Dong! Players please work hard to attack the tower and return to Earth!”
This is the time revolution of the returners.
