The Earth is Online - Chapter 20

[Chapter 20]

Tang Mo listened intently, a faint rustling sound resounded in his mind.

The sound was so soft that it couldn’t be noticed without listening carefully, but it was strange. It wasn’t the sound of wind, it wasn’t the rustling of leaves, it was a bit like the hissing electric current from an old-fashioned black-and-white TV set that Tang Mo heard when he was a child.

Since the official start of the Black Tower game, all electrical appliances have no signal. Televisions, computers, and mobile phones have all become brick machines. No one is going to use electrical appliances at this time, let alone an old black and white TV.

Tang Mo was 80% sure that this was the sound of electricity from the black and white TV.

“The voice is ringing in your head?”

The other party did not say things directly, but asked the question. Tang Mo was fine, he was not in a hurry: “Well, it sounded in my mind.”

“Maybe it’s because the way I contacted you was different from last time.” The hissing electric current became more and more obvious, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear a little iron collision, but the man’s tone was calm: “I this time Didn’t hit the turkey three times.”

Tang Mo caught a trace of strangeness: “You mean…”

“I want to use this egg. Mr. Mo, let’s call you that for the time being, I’m currently in a very strange dark tower game. I won’t explain the specific situation, I judge that the game is not very simple. So I want to use this prop , pave a way for myself.”

Tang Mo already understood what the other party was trying to say, his eyes narrowed, and the man opened his mouth and said what Tang Mo had always wanted: “This egg is called Momo, and it’s a game saver. If you’ve played the game, You should know what an archive is.”

Tang Mo never imagined that this rare item could have such a function!

Many stand-alone role-playing games will set the archive function, and players can archive at any time when playing the game. After archiving, players can quit the game at will, read the archive if they want to continue playing, and return to the archive point directly without wasting game time; second, it can improve the fault tolerance rate. If a character dies in a certain level, you can directly read the save file, and then start from the save point.

The game archiver, these five words are easy to say, but in this black tower game, it is almost a god-defying artifact!

Tang Mo’s blood flow speeded up and his adrenaline surged. Anyone who knows they own a game saver can’t keep calm. Tang Mo didn’t speak, and the man seemed to know how important he had just said, giving Tang Mo a time to adapt, and didn’t make a sound to disturb him. Because even when he got this rare item himself, he almost lost his temper.

After a minute, Tang Mo calmed down and asked, “What are the restrictions?”

Black Tower can’t give players an unlimited game saver. If there is really no limit, then this item is a cheating artifact, which greatly undermines the fairness of the game.

The other party was already ready, and quickly replied: “Three restrictions. First, it can only be used once every seven days, and it is not calculated cumulatively; second, the save time is one hour, which is limited to the Black Tower game save, and can be used within one hour after the save. Read the archive at any time, the item will be invalid after the time expires; thirdly, this is the reason why I want to find you this time.”

Tang Mo frowned: “What’s the reason?”

“Using Mo… To use the game saver, both prop owners must open it at the same time. This means that neither you nor me can open the saver alone.” The voice paused, and the male voice continued: “Mr. Mo, turn on the save function. The way is to draw an English letter ‘S’ on the turkey egg.”

Tang Mo finally understood why this difficult man would rather expose the secret of turkey eggs than come to him.

If he didn’t come to find Tang Mo, then this turkey egg would be a waste in his hands. The turkey can’t be hatched yet, and it’s not necessarily delicious if you cook it. It’s a waste of backpack space.

Tang Mo wanted to make a call and asked directly, “When do you need to open the archive?”

There is no free lunch in the world.

Tang Mo knew that the reason why Mr. Fu told him about the function of turkey eggs was to ask him to help open the archiver. The usage method must be said, otherwise Tang Mo would not know how to open the save. Now that Tang Mo learned about the role of turkey eggs, he naturally needed to repay the other party.

This reward is to open the archive.

The male voice paused, as if he did not expect Tang Mo to make such a decisive decision. After a long time, he whispered: “Now, thank you.”

Tang Mo held the turkey egg in his left hand, and drew an “S” on the white egg with his index finger.

The last stroke fell, and on the white egg, an English character began to flash. Just where Tang Mo had drawn the letters, an “S” kept flashing light blue, as if to imply that the archiver was now working.

“During the archiving period, the owner and the owner share information, so I’m sorry, you may hear my voice uncontrollably for the next hour.”

Tang Mo has nothing to do next. The children in the gym were all asleep, and Li Wen had just entered the gym to rest. He walked alone in the boulevard of the campus, withered and fallen ginkgo leaves under his feet, and his shoes creaked when he stepped on them. Even if you listen to the sound of the game progress for an hour in your head, it is not a big deal.

However, he said, “Mr. Fu, you didn’t say this in advance.”

This is a vast white world, the sky is pure white, and the ground is pure white. In this infinitely vast world, the ground is full of various old-fashioned household appliances. Old single-cylinder washing machines, sewing machines, pot-bellied radios, and hundreds of old-fashioned TV sets with snowflakes on their screens were thrown into this white world like garbage.

A tall, handsome man walks through the vintage appliances, holding a white turkey egg with a glowing “S” in his left hand. The words “You didn’t say this in advance” came out of the turkey egg, and Fu Wenduo paused and frowned.

“…I only found out about this restriction after I opened the archive?”

Tang Mo said lightly, “But you disturbed my time.”

Fu Wenduo laughed, stopped talking, and continued to move forward in the world of electrical appliances.

Tang Mo put the turkey eggs back in his pockets and walked around the campus with his hands behind his back. All kinds of strange noises kept ringing in his ears, sometimes the clack of needles from the sewing machine, and sometimes the sound of the washing machine drying clothes. But the strangest Mr. Fu, has not said a word since then.

Tang Mo just said that he was disturbed, and he lied deliberately, not to make fun of a stranger, but to tell the other party: You owe me one more thing.

Another owner of the turkey egg used the method and function of the turkey egg in exchange for Tang Mo to help him open the archive.

Since then, the two no longer owe each other.

But now Mr. Fu owes Tang Mo one more thing, and this matter may be able to gain some benefits for Tang Mo in the future.

Mr. Fu didn’t speak, and Tang Mo wouldn’t take the initiative to speak. He walked around the school and only twenty minutes had passed. He went back to the library again and sat in front of the pond, staring blankly at the meniscus reflected in the water.

Forty minutes left.

Tang Mo began to think about what he could do in the next 40 minutes to pass the time, but Fu Wenduo didn’t let him wait that long. Five minutes later, a loud fight suddenly sounded, Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed, and he listened carefully to the movement over there.

He heard the sound of metal crashing. This sound is too fast, and the interval between each attack should never exceed 0.5 seconds. Tang Mo heard that there seemed to be a lot of things attacking that Mr. Fu. For five minutes, this Mr. Fu made no sound. After playing for ten minutes straight, he began to gasp for breath.

The sound of countless heavy objects falling to the ground seems to indicate how many opponents this Mr. Fu has defeated.

But the enemy’s attack never stopped.

More and more collisions, and even the sound of knives cutting through heavy objects.

Fifty-five minutes have passed since the game was saved. Tang Mo straightened his back and listened carefully to the voice in his head, not letting go of a single detail.

He couldn’t see what the other party was going through with his own eyes, but when he heard the voice, he understood that Mr. Fu’s actual combat ability was too strong. For thirty minutes, not a second stopped fighting. There are probably hundreds of opponents, but he has been holding on.

It’s really too strong.

boom!

A loud explosion sounded.

Tang Mo was shocked, let alone Mr. Fu, who was really facing an explosion.

“I can’t stand it anymore…” A hoarse voice sounded.

Tang Mo immediately said: “There is still one minute left in the archive period, read the archive quickly.”

“That’s too late.”

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence. Suddenly, the voice in his mind disappeared. Tang Mo quickly took out the turkey egg, only to see that the “S” pattern on it had disappeared and no longer flashed blue light. Before he could think, the whole turkey egg shone with a faint light, which was the light of active contact.

“The game failed just now, I re-read the file.”

Everything happened in ten seconds. Ten seconds ago, Tang Mo remembered that the man’s voice was hoarse, panting heavily, as if he had been severely injured. But now his voice was the same as it was an hour ago, the familiar hissing electric sound resounded in Tang Mo’s ears again.

Tang Mo frowned: “Mr. Fu, you just said that you were too late to read the file, so…”

“The save requires an ‘S’ on the turkey egg, and the load requires an ‘L’ on the turkey egg. One is ‘s□□e’ and the other is ‘load’. I just fought a monster in the dark tower , it is much stronger than me. There is less than a minute left, and the save item will be invalid after one minute, and I have no chance to draw another ‘L’.”

Tang Mo didn’t react for a while: “You don’t have a chance to read the file, then you…”

“There is another way to read the save file.” The male voice was calm and calm, “After the game saver is opened, it will die within an hour and the file will be automatically read. So I killed myself just now and read the save file directly.”

Tang Mo was silent.

In an emergency, he killed himself without hesitation in exchange for a chance… Tang Mo would also do the same, but I am afraid that this person would not be so decisive.

“Wasted you an hour, are you still busy now? Sorry.”

Tang Mo, who watched the stars and the moon for an hour, said, “It’s okay, it’s alright.” It’s alright to return the favor in the future, you’re welcome.

“I was playing a tower attack game on the second floor just now.” The man’s voice was low and calm, and he calmly said words that would make all humans stunned: “A player whose strength reaches a certain level will be forcibly opened by the black tower. Tower attack game. This is one of the ways to start a tower attack game, and I guess there will be other ways to start.”

Tang Mo’s eyes widened in astonishment when he heard “the second floor tower attack game”.

He suddenly guessed who this Mr. Fu is…

The voice was low and magnetic, with a faint smile: “Hello, Tang Mo, my name is Fu Wenduo.”

This time, after the contact with Momo hung up, Tang Mo did not return to the gym immediately. He sat on the stone by the pond and looked at the white turkey egg in his hand calmly.

Fu Wenduo.

Stowaway Fu Wenduo.

When the first floor tower attack game in Huaxia District was started, the players in the entire Huaxia District were gnashing their teeth and wishing to hack Fu Wenduo to death.

Li Wen jokingly said to Tang Mo before that if he had a chance to meet Fu Wenduo, the smuggler who pulled all the Chinese players to attack the tower in advance, he would definitely hang this guy up and beat him. Go, hit it for three days and three nights, it’s very cruel.

After reading the game save file, Fu Wenduo said that he would find an opportunity to leave the game and find another way out. With his current strength, he still can’t clear the second floor, so he can only give up temporarily.

Fu Wenduo told Tang Mo about his participation in the tower attack game.

Tang Mo knew that the other party didn’t suddenly feel that he was a good person and could be a friend who could talk about everything and exchange secrets openly and honestly. He told Tang Mo about these things, probably just to repay the favor of “You wasted an hour on me”. However, this favor is a little bigger, and there may be some other reasons mixed in.

All in all, Tang Mo now knows that if his strength reaches a certain level, he will be forced to start the tower attack game. Fu Wenduo didn’t do it voluntarily when he started the first-floor tower attack game.

But when he was pulled into the second floor tower attack game today, he didn’t “harm” other players anymore. Tang Mo guessed that there were two possibilities.

The first type is that the black tower is only special to the first player who starts the tower attack game. It will broadcast globally and pull players from the entire area into the water to attack the tower together; On the first floor of the black tower, except for him, no one else can attack the second floor, so naturally they can’t pull people into the pit.

Tang Mo lowered his head and looked at the clear pond. A small fish swam by the bottom of the pond, causing a shallow ripple.

“…He heard Chen Shanshan call me ‘Brother Tang Mo’? What was it called ‘Mr. Mo’ at the beginning?”

Tang Mo clicked his tongue and went back to the gym to sleep.

After a night of fighting, Tang Mo didn’t wake up until eight in the morning. Others were even more exhausted, especially a few junior high school students, who slept until noon. They haven’t had a good rest these days, and their spirits are tense. First, the tower attack game that suddenly started, and then the retaliatory attack of the stowaways. The children are physically and mentally exhausted.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Tang Mo and Li Wen went to the school supermarket to get some water and food. Several students woke up, divided the food and began to eat.

Tang Mo added two bottles of water and a few boxes of compressed biscuits to his backpack.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, he and Li Wen were about to leave.

The little fat man was very surprised: “Brother Tang, Brother Li, don’t you stay and come with us?”

Chen Shanshan knew about the situation long ago and stood aside without speaking. Several other students also kept on keeping the two of them.

Li Wen hesitated, but Tang Mo was very calm: “There are five of you in total, two regular players, three reservists, and all students. Wherever you put a combination like this, it will be very noticeable. If you add more Going to us, it is easy to become a fat sheep in the eyes of others. Of course, only you are fat sheep. ”

The students were stunned.

Tang Mo: “I suggest you go in two separate ways, and the five people don’t stay together. The official players can be separated, the little fat man and the two boys go all the way, Shanshan you and this little girl go all the way. When you become stronger, you can Let’s act together again.”

Qiao Feifei stayed: “I don’t want to be separated from everyone…”

Chen Shanshan thought for a while, then nodded: “You are right. The five of us together are indeed very conspicuous. The most people in the world are reservists, and there are not many stowaways. But at this time, killing is no longer smuggling. The patent of the guest. We have all killed people. It is more dangerous for five junior high school students to walk together. We have a night off today, and we will act separately tomorrow. ”

The students listened to Chen Shanshan very much because she was always right. But they still don’t want to separate, and it’s up to them to decide how.

Before Tang Mo left, he glanced at Chen Shanshan: “I’m going to find my friend now, he also lives in Shanghai, but in Pudong, it’s impossible to take you along the way. Ten days later, if I have a chance, I will come back to the school to take a look. “Tang Mo doesn’t have this strength, and it’s impossible to protect these children forever. If they want to survive, the only people these children can really rely on are themselves.

Tang Mo and Li Wen said goodbye to the group of children at the school gate.

Li Wen is still a little reluctant to part, but he also has his own business to do. He wants to go home to see, maybe his parents are not dead.

After the two left the school, Li Wen said, “By the way, Tang Mo, you came back so late last night, it was three or four o’clock, right? What are you doing outside, walking around for so long?”

Tang Mo said casually, “I remembered what happened before Earth went online, and I took a walk outside for a while.” Tang Mo couldn’t say anything about the turkey egg, let alone the accidental contact with Fu Wenduo.

Li Wen snorted. On the way home, he started talking excitedly about his family. His voice was very happy, but his voice was trembling all the time, and his walking speed was not fast.

Tang Mo glanced at him.

This man was just trying to calm down, he was worried that his home was empty and he was alone.

Li Wen’s home was in Jing’an District. He and Tang Mo walked for two hours and arrived at a villa area at six o’clock in the evening.

The closer he got to home, the slower Li Wen’s pace became.

But in the end they came to a three-storey villa.

Li Wen stood in front of the big iron gate and dared not open the door. He didn’t know if he would see his parents or an empty house when he opened the door.

Tang Mo was going to Pudong, and he happened to be on the way, so he accompanied Li Wen on this trip. And in this world, you can’t relax your vigilance at any time, and you must always be on the lookout for stowaways and other players with bad intentions. Walking together is definitely better than walking alone.

Li Wen stood in front of the door, reaching out to touch the doorknob from time to time, but he didn’t dare to push the door.

Five minutes later, Tang Mo suddenly stretched out his hand, and with one force, the iron lock was knocked off by him. He pushed open the door directly, turned his head and said, “At least there are no traps on the door, there should be no stowaways.”

Li Wen was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Mo blankly. After thinking for a long time, he nodded: “Well, there is no danger…”

Tang Mo opened the door for Li Wen on the grounds of being careful about stowaways.

Some things have to be faced after all. Li Wen seemed to muster up his courage and strode into the garden. He walked to the front of the villa, and Tang Mo said, “Be careful, in case there is an enemy.”

The two looked at each other, and Tang Mo kicked the door open.

boom!

The mahogany gate fell to the ground, stirring up a very light layer of dust.

After confirming that there were no enemies in the house, Li Wen hurried upstairs and kept shouting “Mom and Dad”. However, all that responded to him was an empty echo.

Tang Mo’s parents died a long time ago. He didn’t enter the house, but just stood by the door of the entrance, listening to Li Wen calling out his parents’ names.

Li Wen searched the house and found no one. His voice grew desperate.

Suddenly, he shouted excitedly: “My mother is still alive, my mother is still alive!”

Tang Mo looked at the living room in surprise, and saw Li Wen running over with a piece of paper, his face full of joy, his body kept shaking: “My mother is still alive, Tang Mo, look! My mother is still alive! I Mom said that Dad disappeared suddenly, there was no cell phone signal, so I couldn’t contact anyone. Shanghai was a little chaotic. She planned to go back to her hometown to stay out of the limelight. If I’m still alive, let me find her. Tang Mo, my mother is still there. Live!”

Tang Mo smiled and said, “Congratulations.”

Li Wen was excited for a while, but his laughter suddenly stopped: “My dad disappeared…”

Tang Mo advised: “Go find your mother first.”

Li Wen lowered his head silently, and after a while, he squeezed the paper in his hand and nodded.

Li Wen’s hometown is near Kunshan. His grandparents passed away very early, and he doesn’t have many relatives. The only relatives are his parents. Now that he knows that his mother is still alive, he must find someone.

The two separated at the junction of Jing’an District and Huangpu District.

Li Wen found a detailed map of Shanghai for Tang Mo from the newsstand on the side of the road, and drew a route map on it with a pen.

“It’s the closest to Pudong from here. The ferry boat on the Huangpu River is definitely not available now. You go through the Nanpu Bridge and go around here…”

Tang Mo memorized the route and put away the map. He raised his head and looked at this silly, sweet and rich second generation in front of him.

The two looked at each other and didn’t speak. After a while, Li Wen smiled and said, “I’m too weak now. Walking with you will definitely drag you down. I’ll go to my mother first, Tang Mo, and we’ll see you again later.”

Tang Mo shook the map in his hand: “Thank you, see you when I have the chance.”

Li Wen laughed: “Then shouldn’t I thank you more? Alas, I’m so stupid, I need to think more when I encounter games in the future, otherwise I don’t know how to die. Thank you very much these days.”

Tang Mo didn’t say much, the two of them said goodbye and left.

Li Wen turned around and only walked ten meters, when Tang Mo suddenly said loudly, “I remembered something, Li Wen, come over here.”

Li Wen hurried back: “What’s the matter?”

Tang Mo just looked at him, smiling but not speaking.

Li Wen was stunned: “Tang Mo?”

“I told you to come back and you came back? Have a good heart, not only for the little fat man, but also for you.” Tang Mo smiled slightly, “Silly white sweet second generation, live well.”

Li Wen: “…So you always thought that I was the second generation of stupid white sweet and rich?! That’s what you think of me!!!”

Tang Mo: “…” Isn’t the point to make you have a good heart!

The two laughed together, this time it was really goodbye.

After seeing Li Wen away, Tang Mo took the map and started walking towards Pudong New Area.

When there are a lot of people, you can’t feel it. Now that he is the only one left, Tang Mo unexpectedly felt a little deserted. He put the map in his backpack and walked along the edge of the street, hiding in the shadow of the trees, quietly driving.

At night, there are significantly fewer people on the street. After the game starts, even the world’s top metropolis is no longer a city that never sleeps. Night is more dangerous than day, enemies are easier to hide in invisible places, and no one wants to stop on the streets at night.

Tang Mo walked for more than an hour and stopped near the Nanpu Bridge.

He decided not to hurry.

No one knows if there are stowaways hiding in the corner to peep and observe, and it is not just stowaways, as long as they are strangers, they are very dangerous.

Tang Mo found an unknown fast food restaurant, went in to check to make sure that no one was there, and locked the door. Instead of turning on the light, he pulled a chair against the door, and placed a lot of chopsticks on the window sill. One end of the chopsticks supports the edge of the window and the other end supports the window. The frosted window cannot see the interior from the outside, but once someone comes in through the window, the chopsticks will fall to the ground and make a sound.

He took out a tablecloth and spread it out on the ground.

The physical fitness of the official players is extremely strong. On such a late autumn night, Tang Mo didn’t feel cold when lying on the ground, and he didn’t even feel too sleepy. He entered the shop to rest not to sleep, but to find a place to spend the night and prevent unnecessary danger.

Four days have passed since the game started. It has been four days, except for those stowaways who have already killed people, other official players and reservists should not be taken lightly.

Perhaps they also had blood on their hands.

Tang Mo lay on the ground and raised his hand. Moonlight filtered through the frosted windows, giving the fast-food restaurant a faint glow. Tang Mo looked at his hand with a calm expression.

He has killed two people.

One is manslaughter. The thief Qian Sankun wanted to kill him, but he accidentally killed the other party.

Another was killed by him himself. He cracked the fire-breathing man’s head with a big match.

In addition, there were several people who died indirectly at his hands. Like the one-armed man, and the gunman with the gun.

The faces of these people flashed in front of Tang Mo’s eyes, and he found that he couldn’t remember what Qian Sankun looked like. When he thinks of these people, his heart is not a little turbulent, and his heart is beating steadily, just like usual.

“Is it a stowa…”

Tang Mo took out turkey eggs from his pocket. The light was too dim to see the white of the turkey egg, only a round shadow.

“Smuggler Fu Wenduo, who did he kill?”

One in Shanghai and one in Beijing. More than a thousand kilometers apart. Tang Mo wasn’t afraid of Fu Wenduo, who was stabbed by players from all over China. No matter how powerful Fu Wenduo was, could he fly to Shanghai to kill him? This is impossible. If he really had this ability, Tang Mo would die convinced.

Tang Mo’s fingers tapped lightly on the turkey egg. He knocked twice, and when he was about to knock a third time, his fingers stopped in mid-air. He put the turkey back in his pocket, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Early the next day, Tang Mo left the fast food restaurant and continued to walk towards Pudong New Area.

On the way, Tang Mo also met a young man who took the initiative to talk to him. It was a boy who looked like a college student, thinking that Tang Mo was also a college student, so he excitedly ran over to ask him about his situation.

Are there really so many idiots in this world? After the game starts, are you not afraid of being cheated by strangers?

Tang Mo suddenly felt that his heart was too dirty and he thought too much. Should he also live a simpler life and believe that the world is full of love?

Then, as soon as he left the Nanpu Bridge, Tang Mo saw two bodies.

The necks of the two were cut off with sharp objects and thrown into the bridge hole under the bridge. The clothes on his body were stripped, and the accompanying bag was empty, and the contents inside were probably looted. Look at the body, it died last night.

…Well, he still has a better heart.

The next afternoon, Tang Mo relied on the route given by Li Wen and found the community where his friend lived. The neighborhood was dead silent, and when Tang Mo entered, he saw an old man come out with a large bag and a small bag on his back. Seeing Tang Mo entering the community, the old man glanced in surprise, as if he had thought of something, and hurried out of the community.

Tang Mo frowned strangely.

The old man’s reaction was a little strange.

When he walked into the community, he understood why the old man looked at him like this just now.

This community is very large, divided into two areas, east and west, separated by a road. Tang Mo went to the West District. There are six high-rise buildings, and his college friend lives in the innermost one. Tang Mo stayed at a friend’s house for two days last year, and he still knew Lu.

In the middle of the six buildings, a garden is surrounded for the activities of the residents.

At this moment, there are six corpses lying on the square in the middle of this garden. Tang Mo stepped up and took a look. Without his friends, there were two middle-aged men, a young woman, and three young men. They don’t know why they died here, looking at the body, it should have been dead for more than a day.

The middle-aged man held a kitchen knife in his hand, and there was a pool of water under the young woman’s right hand. One of the young men had a huge, dark blood hole in his chest that could not be sipped, but there was no weapon in it.

Looking at the scars on the corpse, Tang Mo had already made a judgment.

The young woman was hacked to death by a kitchen knife, and the young man may have died of some kind of supernatural power.

There is a 70% chance that these six people killed each other. Of course, besides them, there may be other people involved in this battle, but only six of them died here.

Tang Mo seemed to be observing the six corpses, but in fact he never took his attention away from his surroundings. No one knows if the companions of these six people will be hiding nearby. Never let your guard down when examining a dead body.

Tang Mo picked up the middle-aged man’s kitchen knife and put it into the wound on the young woman’s chest. The blade was just right to sip, and this woman was indeed killed by the knife.

No other conclusions were drawn, Tang Mo no longer cares about this matter. He touched the large match tattoo on his wrist.

The big matches were given to him by the students. The little fat man said that his ability was too weak, and the big match was too heavy and too big to use at all. The other students also decided to give Tang Mo a big match out of gratitude. Tang Mo did not refuse.

Tang Mo walked into the building where his friend lived with a calm expression. Not choosing the elevator, he walked up the stairs. My friend lived on the seventh floor, and there seemed to be no one in the whole building, only the sound of Tang Mo’s footsteps climbing the stairs softly sounded.

When he came to the door of his friend’s house, Tang Mo broke the lock with one kick. After opening the door, he entered the house to check.

not a single person.

Nor did he leave any notes like Li Wen’s mother did.

Tang Mo walked to the dining table and saw a small plate of moldy pickles and a half-eaten bowl of porridge on the table. A layer of light gray dust floated on the porridge, and the porridge soup was cloudy. One chopstick fell on the table, and the other chopstick fell on the ground. It seems that the owner suddenly missed, causing the chopsticks to fall to the ground. It may also disappear suddenly, and the chopsticks will fall to the ground…

The odds of surviving are less than 10%.

Tang Mo took a bottle of water and two bags of instant noodles from the kitchen cabinet and put them in his backpack. Before he left, he stopped in front of the coffee table in the living room and looked down at the photo that was placed in the wooden frame. The photo shows three big boys, all wearing bachelor’s uniforms. One is Tang Mo, the other is tall and thin, and the other is a fat man in vain.

The three big boys hugged happily and threw their bachelor caps to the sky to celebrate graduation.

After looking at it for a long time, Tang Mo stretched out his finger and flicked the fat man’s face in the photo.

“Hoko, I’m going to live well by myself.”

Tang Mo turned and left.

In the photo, the fat man is smiling brightly.

The neighborhood was still dead silent. Tang Mo walked downstairs and planned to leave the community directly. He walked along the road, turned around an intersection, and suddenly found a familiar figure.

Tang Mo stopped.

The old man who left the community with a big bag and a small bag just now is sitting on a flower bed on the street. Hearing the sound, he looked up. Seeing Tang Mo, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand, and said loudly, “Little boy, my foot is twisted, can you come and help?”

Tang Mo looked at him from a distance, glanced at his feet, and said nothing.

At the edge of another flower bed ten meters away, a young man and woman sat. When Tang Mo appeared, they also quietly looked at Tang Mo. Hearing the old man talking to Tang Mo, they immediately came over. Among them, the young man held up the old man’s foot and glanced at it casually: “Oh, the uncle is really twisted. What should I do? What should I do if my foot is twisted? Brother, can you come and help me?”

The young woman also said, “I don’t know what to do. Handsome guy, do you know what to do if your foot is twisted?”

“I don’t know.” Tang Mo glanced at them calmly and walked away from the side.

The old man suddenly said in a hurry: “I can’t let him run away!!!”

With a brush, four people emerged from behind the dense bushes. A middle-aged woman, and three middle-aged men.

Tang Mo turned around and ran away almost as soon as the old man spoke. The four of them didn’t expect him to react so quickly, and were stunned for a while. When they reacted, not only the four, but the young man, the woman, and the old man who had just said that he had twisted his foot also joined them, and rushed out and ran towards Tang Mo quickly.

Tang Mo’s speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he opened a distance of more than ten meters.

“Bring me back!!!”

Tang Mo was about to run to the corner when suddenly, a strange wind whistled from in front of him. The strong wind swept the ground, and the strong hurricane blew Tang Mo backwards. He gritted his teeth and propped himself up to the roadside flower bed with his left hand, intending to use his strength to rush over. However, the moment his hand touched the flower bed——

“He touched it!”

“He met!”

Tang Mo groaned in his heart.

“Ding Dong! The massively multiplayer dungeon game ‘Mario’s Monopoly’ has been triggered. At 17:02 on November 22, 2017, players Li Zhen, Yuan Qi, Liu Feihao, Zhao Guo, Lin Bangcheng, Liu Simei, and Qi Feng , Tang Mo safely entered the game time.”

“Sandbox loaded…”

“Data loading complete…”

The surrounding roads, trees and high-rise buildings disappeared cleanly at this moment.

A strong white light flashed in front of Tang Mo’s eyes, stabbing him so much that he couldn’t open his eyes. The extreme white light dyed the world white, and at this moment, a familiar video game music sounded in everyone’s ears.

“Da Da~ Da~ Da Da~ Da~ Da~”

Worldwide, at least two billion people have heard this music.

Simple and cheerful electronic music echoes in this pure white world.

The music continued to play, and the white light faded. Tang Mo gradually saw what was in front of him. He raised his head and saw a two-meter-tall giant cartoon character descending from the sky. He wears a red hat with a white “M”, a large nose, and dark blue overalls.

He is two meters tall, like a giant doll made of wood, moving slowly. Those big black eyes swept across everyone’s body, and finally he glanced at Tang Mo, then suddenly raised his right hand and swiped towards his left chest, making a classic thumbs-up gesture.

boom!

A giant Mario landed on a stage with twinkling lights—

“Everybody, it’s me! Mario!”
