The Earth is Online - Chapter 51

[Chapter 51]

The room was pitch-dark and dark, and only the computer shone brightly. Tang Mo bent down and stared at the computer screen. He subconsciously pressed his hand on the mouse to drag it, but when he pressed the “OK” button, the mouse on the screen disappeared, leaving only Fu Wenduo’s face. occupies the entire screen.

Tang Mo said, “Stand back a little bit.”

Fu Wenduo took three steps back, revealing the environment behind him.

Tang Mo carefully observed the things around him. There was a light on Fu Wenduo’s side, and he was in a small closed room. There were some cardboard boxes and foam in the room, which seemed to be a small warehouse. He was raising his head at the moment, looking up.

Tang Mo thought, “What are you looking at now?”

Fu Wenduo didn’t ask any further questions, and immediately replied: “A very small monitor, about the size of a palm, hangs on the corner of the ceiling of the room.” Without Tang Mo continuing to ask, he directly said: “After separating from you, I was slapped by iron. The cobbler took me to a small room. I was in the same factory as you, and this is the grocery room at the back of the factory. After putting me in, the cobbler left. I tried it just now, and I couldn’t open the doors and windows, the black tower prompts These doors and windows cannot be opened. Also, Tang Mo…”

The man’s voice stopped.

Tang Mo lowered his head and looked at Fu Wenduo’s calm face in the picture.

Fu Wenduo said, “Can you use your abilities, now.”

Tang Mo was shocked.

Tang Mo has many abilities. Currently, the one that is most suitable for use in front of Fu Wenduo and Xing Feng is the ability “I am worse than the protagonist”. This is a one-time ability. Two months ago, Tang Mo used this ability to seal the giant match into his body. Before entering this office, Tang Mo heard Xing Feng’s voice. To prevent accidents, he took out a big match and used it as a weapon.

Just now, he suddenly had a video call with Fu Wenduo, and Tang Mo put the big match next to the computer.

At this moment, he turned his head slowly and looked at the giant match that he had just put on the table. Tang Mo’s eyes stayed on the empty table for a long time, then he looked down at his left wrist. A bright red matchstick tattoo comes into view. He held down the tattoo and used his powers.

Half a minute later, Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo: “I can’t use my abilities anymore. When I entered this room, my abilities were in use, but just now, when I didn’t pay attention. , can no longer be used.”

Fu Wenduo: “Me too. After entering this room, I want to try to break open the doors, windows or walls, but I can’t use the power. At the same time, Tang Mo, the props can’t be used.”

Tang Mo took out Mario’s ruby from his pocket and buckled it directly above his head.

“Click-”

After a crisp collision, the ruby landed on Tang Mo’s head, rolled down his hair, and landed in the palm of Tang Mo’s ready-to-receive hands.

“I can’t use props anymore either.”

The two looked at each other on the screen and didn’t speak for a long time.

The next moment, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo asked in unison, “What is your mission?”

The two were stunned together.

Just now Tang Mo heard the sound of the black tower’s side quest prompt in the room, but he did not hear the sound from Fu Wenduo’s side. The sound of the black tower’s prompt cannot be transmitted through video. At present, the two are suddenly forced to make a video call, and they must first determine the purpose of each other. If it is the same task, it is naturally a concerted effort. If the missions were different or even opposite, then in the next game, whether it was against Tang Mo or Fu Wenduo, their biggest enemy would be each other.

Tang Mo pondered for a moment and said, “The Black Tower asked me to find a tool for the black shoemaker.”

Fu Wenduo smiled: “It’s a coincidence, so am I.”

“That thing is usually in liquid form, but there is also paste form.”

Fu Wenduo: “Many times, they are packaged in tin tubes, and some are also packaged in bottles.”

Looking at the vigilant opponent on the other side of the screen, Tang Mo suddenly felt a little interesting. This feeling of testing each other was more interesting than the sense of urgency brought by the game. He said, “Let’s write something like that down together, Fu Wenduo. I have an office here, and I have pen and paper. You have a lot of cardboard boxes behind you, and you write on them. We’ll show the answer at the same time.”

“Okay.”

Tang Mo took out the paper and pen from the drawer of the desk, and Fu Wenduo carried a cardboard box and tore off one side of the box. Tang Mo gently wrote two words on the paper, and Fu Wenduo also used a sharp knife to draw on the cardboard box. After ten seconds, the two stopped at the same time,

Look at the screen.

Tang Mo: “I’ll count down and show the words together.”

Fu Wenduo: “Okay.”

Tang Mo’s fingers squeezed the edge of the paper, and he counted down: “Three, two, one…”

“brush–”

At both ends of the screen, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo presented the two words they had just written to each other at the same time—

“shoe polish”

Tang Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he was very calm: “It looks like we are going to cooperate this time.”

Fu Wenduo put down the cardboard box: “How is the situation on your side?”

Tang Mo began to introduce the situation on his own side: “The place I entered is much larger than yours, and it is the main working area of the factory. As soon as I enter the door, it is the food processing area. Before the earth goes online, many workers should enter the inspection of food packaging there. There are a lot of food packaging bags piled up there, as well as some scattered food that has not been found. I brought a box of bread over, just in case the game time is too long, it can be used as food.” He paused, and continued: “Now I’m in the office behind the food processing area…”

After Tang Mo explained what he had seen, Fu Wenduo said, “Okay. This time our mission is the same, but the cobbler

It hasn’t appeared yet, and shoe polish can’t be found anywhere. But you just said that you have a player there who has already participated in the game? ”

He was the only one in Fu Wenduo’s room, but Xing Feng was in Tang Mo’s office.

He nodded and looked at Xing Feng: “Mr. Xing, you have been in this game for a while, can you tell me the specific rules of the game?”

Xing Feng shrank in the corner and looked at Tang Mo in horror. When he found that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were having a good conversation (in his eyes, that was the case), the eyes he looked at Tang Mo also became very frightened. Hearing Tang Mo asking him a question, he swallowed nervously: “…I’m looking for, looking for shoe polish. The iron shoemaker said that the shoe polish is on our side or their side, and it must be in these two places. Only by finding shoe polish, the iron shoemaker He will let us go, and if he can’t find it, he will…will…ah! You’ll know soon. You’ll know soon…”

Tang Mo looked at Xing Feng’s fearful expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. His suspicious eyes lingered on Xing Feng’s body, but he did not talk to Xing Feng again. Instead, he pretended to have found nothing and continued to ask Fu Wenduo, “What’s going on with you, is there any danger?”

Hearing this, Fu Wenduo glanced at the bottom of the screen for a moment, then raised his head again: “It’s nothing special, just three corpses.”

Tang Mo frowned: “You have three corpses there. Strictly speaking, I used to be three players here. It’s just that two players have died. So the number of people on both sides of this game is the same.” Speaking of this, Tang Mo When he found that Fu Wenduo glanced down at the position below the video again, he was alert: “What’s wrong?”

Fu Wenduo said lightly, “The three corpses look very unique.”

Tang Mo: “How do you say it?”

Fu Wenduo was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, “It was drained of blood and turned into a mummified corpse.” He used the simplest language to describe the scene in front of him. Tang Mo didn’t think too much, and nodded lightly. And he didn’t know that at this moment, Fu Wenduo was standing in the corner of the grocery room, looking up at the small screen.

Because the screen is too small, to see what’s on Tang Mo’s side, he has to stand very close.

The bone-chilling white light illuminated the entire room. Fu Wenduo stood by the wall without changing his expression. Just ten centimeters in front of his eyes, a mummified corpse with a frightening face was facing his face. Dry and blackened face, huge eyeballs bulging out of fear at the moment of death. Before these two eyeballs protruded, many people could not imagine that human eyeballs are so round and so big. The black eyes only occupy a small part of the middle, and more are the pale whites.

The three mummified corpses were nailed to the wall in a crucifixion pose.

The distance was so close that Fu Wenduo could smell the rotting and stinking smell of the three corpses, but he still said to Tang Mo with a blank expression: “There are no extra clues now, so we can only wait for the cobbler’s answer. appear.”

Tang Mo nodded: “Okay, then…”

boom!

A harsh sound suddenly exploded in his ears, and Tang Mo’s heart skipped a beat. He saw that the computer in front of him suddenly went dark, and Fu Wenduo disappeared.

At the same time, Xing Feng, who was beside the wall, hugged his head tightly, and went straight to the corner in fear. In a hoarse and frightened voice, he cried and said, “It’s coming, it’s coming, close the door… I can’t kill it, I can’t kill it…”

Tang Mo took a deep breath and turned to look at Xing Feng. He quickly said, “Who is he? The iron shoemaker?”

Xing Feng shook his head, his voice interrupted: “No…it’s it, not the cobbler. That wolf! It’s coming.” Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and excitedly raised his head to look at Tang Mo: “You are the official Player, you said that you can’t use abilities, you must be an official player. You must be very powerful. Kill it, you must kill it! If you don’t kill it, we all have to die tonight, we will definitely die!”

At this moment, a crisp child’s voice sounded in Tang Mo’s ears——

“Ding dong! Players, please pay attention, players, please pay attention, three minutes later, the shoe polish wolf most hated by the iron shoemaker will appear. Kill the shoe polish wolf to get a drop of shoe polish. Players are invited to participate actively and kill the shoe polish wolf.”

“The ninth of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the kingdom of the underground people, why is the hardworking and lovely black shoemaker always so poor? Shoe polish wolf! Killing the shoe polish wolf is everyone’s responsibility!”

The black tower beep came to an abrupt end. In the dark factory, Tang Mo’s fingers gradually tightened.

Suddenly, he heard a dull voice coming from outside the door. It was as if something was slamming open the door of the next office. It slammed with all its might, slamming the door. It rammed over and over again and again, about ten times, only to hear a violent smashing sound, and something smashed the door and smashed against the wall of the corridor.

A fierce roar sounded outside the door, like the roar of a wild beast.

Tang Mo’s face slowly sank, he walked to the corner of the office with the same expression, and picked up the blue and white porcelain vase on the shelf.

In the grocery room on the other side of the factory.

Fu Wenduo saw the screen suddenly darken, his expression changed, and he glanced at the other things in the room alertly.

A second later, the screen hanging on the corner of the room suddenly turned on again. Fu Wenduo looked up vigilantly. I saw snowflakes unique to old-fashioned TVs flashing on the palm-sized screen. The snowflake pattern flickered for a full three minutes, and a cheerful and familiar music sounded. With its music, the snowflakes on the screen turned into a colorful halo.

In the brilliant halo of this dime effect, a small black dot appeared from the very center of the screen. The black spot gets bigger and clearer. Finally, on the screen, a dark miniature tower was frozen in the middle, and the surrounding special effects halo continued to flicker around the tower.

The music gradually stopped, and a cartoon character jumped out from one end of the screen. She was wearing a blue dress and a crystal crown. She hid behind the black tower and looked around quietly. Seemingly finding that there were no bad people around, she gave a crisp laugh, jumped out from behind the black tower, and said loudly with the microphone in her hand—

“What are the ten unsolved mysteries of the Underworld Kingdom?”

“Who abducted Grandma Wolf’s daughter?”

“In your heart, the king of dead songs on the first floor of the Black Tower is Pinocchio or the cobbler?”

“Den deng deng, everything is in “Happy Q&A”! Hello everyone, I am your favorite King Kong TV gold medal host Wang Xiaotian. Today is another pleasant Q&A time. What is your dream? You What do you want? Come to “Happy Questions and Answers”, you can have all of these. Next–”
