The Earth is Online - Chapter 58

[Chapter 58]

The side quests were completed so easily. At the end of the time limit, the three of Tang Mo rushed into the glass conservatory at their fastest speed. Now that the task is completed, the three of them can’t help but feel a little tired. After resting on the spot and breathing smoothly, Tang Mo raised his head and looked around when his body returned to calm.

This is a dodecagon-shaped glass greenhouse. The transparent dome covers the spacious and clean flower room, and the golden sunlight shines through the glass, illuminating the prosperous flowers in the flower room. There was no one else in the quiet conservatory, but the crisp sound of birds’ hoofs seemed to be heard.

It was quiet and beautiful here. After Tang Mo had a good rest, he discussed it with the white-collar girl and the baby face. The three decided to check the situation of the flower room separately.

There are countless flowers in the flower room. Although the room is not too big, it is densely planted with flowers. These flowers are all very tall, one red rose is the size of Tang Mo’s face, and the other morning glory is actually the size of his palm.

The three of them separately searched the entire glass conservatory.

The white-collar woman said: “I didn’t find anything strange. It looks like a very ordinary flower house. In addition, I went to find the ‘liar moon flower’. At present we don’t know what the moon flower looks like. But in this flower room, every flower is a flower on the earth, there is no moon flower. Of course, maybe the moon flower is another name for some kind of flower in the world of the black tower, this is not certain.”

Tang Mo nodded: “I didn’t find anything related to the name Moonflower.”

The white-collar woman looked at the baby face.

The baby-faced youth still looked at Tang Mo and the white-collar girl with a smile. Seeing that both of them were looking at him, he said, “I didn’t find the moon flower either.”

The white-collar woman asked, “Did you seriously look for it?”

The baby face was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “I looked for it very seriously.”

The suspicious gaze of the white-collar woman swept over him, but did not ask any further questions. The baby-faced youth glanced at the white-collar woman, and soon turned to Tang Mo. He seemed to see something, and the smile on his lips became a bit brighter. He kept staring at Tang Mo with those strange and meaningful eyes. If it was someone else, he might have been very uncomfortable, but Tang Mo glanced at him lightly, his expression unchanged, and looked at the white-collar woman.

“We only have two hints. First, Moonflower likes to lie; second, it’s called Moonflower.” As for the tower attack game, Tang Mo would not let the white-collar woman make up her mind alone. He analyzed: “The clue that loves to lie is not used at present, and the second clue seems to be useful. Whether the name of Moonflower is another name or its real name, we should guess why it is called Moonflower?”

The white-collar woman thought for a while: “It is very possible that it looks like the moon.”

Babyface interjected, “It likes to grow under the moon?”

Realizing that the baby face was actually participating in the discussion, Tang Mo glanced at him and nodded, “It’s all possible. There are generally three ways of naming flowers in the world. The first is related to the growth habit of flowers, such as roses. It’s called Chinese rose because it blooms every month and blooms all year round, also known as Yueyuehong.”

The white-collar woman said, “I seem to have seen this somewhere.”

Tang Mo continued: “The second naming method is related to the shape of the flower, such as the five-star flower. It has five distinct petal horns, like a five-pointed star, so it is called the five-star flower. If the moon flower is named in the first two ways , it is very easy to find, at least there are traces to follow. If its naming method is the third, we will have too few clues this time. Some flowers are named according to some illusory legends and stories. Ecstasy and high-flying flowers. These are not mentioned for the time being, and now the black tower has not given us any hints to find flowers. The naming method of moon flowers should not be the third, otherwise it is almost impossible for us to find it. ”

There is a way to pass the game, and you can win.

In the absence of any clues, the three words “Moon Flower” are the only clues that Tang Mo and the three have now. It is called the moon flower, and it must have something to do with the flower itself, not because of those strange stories and legends.

The white-collar woman nodded in agreement.

A laughter sounded at this moment: “You know a lot of flowers, they used to be from a flower shop?”

Tang Mo looked at the baby face and said lightly, “I have read some books.” In the past, when Tang Mo worked in the library, he would read books in his spare time. He has read a lot of books, and his knowledge reserve will be a little more than that of ordinary people, but it is definitely not as good as Luo Fengcheng.

Babyface gave an “oh” and said again, “You’ve read so many books, what did you do before?”

The white-collar woman finally couldn’t help it: “You’re enough, the task is the main thing at this time, and this kind of useless nonsense will be discussed after the game is over. Now our first task is to find Moonflower, do you have any clues?”

The baby-faced youth shrugged, “I don’t know. He has read a lot of books, so maybe he knows.” He pointed to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: “…”

After reading a lot of books, you know what the moon flower is? What logic is this.

Tang Mo remembered the book-finding game he once played with Mosaic. In that game, in order to find the book, Tang Mo and Shen Gong pulled out tens of thousands of books from several shelves. That game had a time limit. In the end, Tang Mo didn’t use this method of “finding every book” to find books, but the current game has no time limit.

Tang Mo planned to propose that the three of them pluck all the flowers in this flower house. As long as the moon is spent in it, it may be counted as completing the side quest. However, just as he was about to speak, the baby-faced youth suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked it in front of Tang Mo’s face.

Tang Mo was shocked.

The smile on the baby-faced youth’s face subsided slightly, and slowly he laughed again.

The white-collar woman frowned and said, “What are you doing?”

Tang Mo didn’t speak. This baby-faced movement was obviously preventing Tang Mo from speaking. I saw him take out a cell phone from his pocket. After the earth goes online, all electronic devices cannot be used, mobile phones cannot access the Internet, cannot make calls, cannot send text messages, and at most check the time, it is not as light and fast as a watch. Tang Mo threw away his dead cell phone long ago.

Unexpectedly, this baby-faced young man actually carried a mobile phone with him. He turned on the phone, opened the memo, typed a line and handed it to Tang Mo.

[Don’t move, the flower behind you moved a little just now. 】

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed.

The female white-collar worker also saw this line of words, her eyes widened in surprise, but she wisely shut her mouth and did not make a sound.

Tang Mo took the baby-faced mobile phone and typed: [Are you sure you saw the flower behind me move? I remember that there was a white rose bush behind me, I checked there just now and found nothing unusual. 】

Babyface typed quickly.

[It moved, the rhizome moved about six millimeters, I saw it. 】

… Six millimeters, he saw such a tiny distance, and he still asked for permission.

The baby-faced youth had an unchanging smile on his face. He found a strange flower that was likely to be a moon flower, but Tang Mo couldn’t see any excitement or pride on his face, instead he had a strange feeling.

Tang Mo typed calmly: [I’m not moving, you two find a chance to catch the moving flower. Maybe it’s the moon flower. 】

The white-collar woman glanced at the baby’s face, and the two nodded lightly. Tang Mo pretended to have found nothing, and said calmly, “Since the side quest is for us to find Moonflower, then…”

Whoosh!

At this time, the white-collar woman and the baby face moved together. The two players who had reached the level of attacking the tower rushed behind Tang Mo at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye they grabbed a tall and strong giant white rose. The thorns on the rhizome of the rose could not pierce their skin, and the two of them, with four hands, firmly grasped the rose. Then, a shrill cry rang out in the glass conservatory—

“Ahhhh help!!! The smelly human player caught me!!!”

Tang Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong. He didn’t have time to react, and then he heard a series of shrill shouts, like an overwhelming sea, rushing towards them.

“Ah, ah, ah, how to do it, it is caught, the next is me, isn’t it me!”

“What are these human players going to do, are they trying to catch us to take a bath!”

“I don’t want it! I’m so good-looking, and I haven’t sent my pollen out yet. I don’t want to be taken by humans to take a bath, let alone be taken by them to make tea!!!”

Thousands of flowers roared and screamed in this small glass conservatory. The loud sound formed a bombardment in the ears of the three players. With the strong physical fitness of the three players, they were all shocked by such a terrifying sound.

For the first time, the smile on the face of the baby-faced youth completely disappeared, and he squeezed the white rose tightly with a force. With a click, the long rose rhizome was directly broken by him.

The screams of the flowers suddenly stopped.

A second later, a more miserable cry rang out again.

“Ahhh he really wanted to unplug us to take a bath!!!”

“It doesn’t have to be a bath, it might be a tea, it might be a balm, everything he wants to do!!!”

“I don’t want, I don’t want to be pulled away by him!”

Seeing this, Tang Mo stepped forward and took the white rose that was crying for help and trembling from the hands of the baby-faced youth. The young man glanced at Tang Mo, but did not speak. Tang Mo asked directly, “Are you Moonflower?”

The sound of White Rose’s crying suddenly stopped, it didn’t answer, and the surrounding flowers helped it speak.

“Moonflower? Isn’t it a white rose, when did it become that liar Moonflower?”

“It’s not the moon flower. The moon flower has long been moved to other places by the Queen of Hearts. It is a white rose, especially a white rose with a glass heart.”

The chattering voices kept arguing in the ears of the three of them. Tang Mo grabbed the key words: “Moon Flower was moved by the Queen of Hearts?”

A giant peony the size of a washbasin put its large flower bud in front of Tang Mo’s eyes, its red petals trembled slightly, and said, “Are you three humans looking for moon flowers?”

When such a huge flower suddenly appeared in front of him, Tang Mo’s expression changed, and he quickly said calmly, “Yes, we are looking for the moon flower.”

The big peony said: “The moon flower is not here. I know all the flowers in the glass conservatory. The moon flower was sent away by the Queen of Hearts yesterday. I heard that it was moved to her bedroom, and I heard that it was moved to the gem corridor. Said to be given away by the Queen of Hearts. You can’t find moonflowers here.”

The other flowers responded: “Yes, the moon flower is not here.”

Tang Mo asked, “Then how should we find Moonflower?”

Big Peony shook his head for a while, and said, “We were in this glass greenhouse when we were still seeds. None of us knew what the outside world was like, and we didn’t know where the moon flower was. But yesterday, the two guards put the When Moonflower moved away, it left from that place.”

The big peony stretched out its large green leaves and pointed to the trellis of the vine flowers. “The two guards left through that door. Maybe you can find Moonflower by going out there.”

The white-collar woman walked to the flower stand. The wisteria on the shelf covered the petals with its leaves, shyly said “oops” and moved aside. After the twisting vine branches and leaves were pushed open layer by layer, a small wooden door was revealed.

The white-collar woman turned her head and said, “There is indeed a door here.”

Tang Mo turned to look at the giant peony again. He looked at this terrifyingly large peony flower calmly, as if to see from its dense petals whether the other party was lying.

The big peony seemed to be the leader in the glass conservatory. It saw what Tang Mo was thinking and said, “In the glass conservatory, only Moonflower likes to lie. We are all good flowers who can’t lie. Yesterday, there were indeed two guards. Remove the moonflower from here and go through that door.”

Many flowers echo the words of this peony.

Tang Mo watched it for a while.

The white-collar woman said, “It really doesn’t look like it’s lying.”

Tang Mo also said, “Yes, I think so too.”

The baby-faced youth laughed again: “So now we have to go through that door and find Moonflower?”

The three discussed for a while (basically, Tang Mo and the white-collar woman were discussing, and the baby face was watching), and unanimously decided to leave the glass conservatory to find the real moon flower. Tang Mo looked at the broken white rose in his hand, not knowing where to put it.

The white rose began to cry, and it said cautiously: “You… can you insert me back into the soil just now…”

Tang Mo inserted the flower into the soil just now, next to its half-broken rhizome.

Back in the soil, the white rose swayed with joy. It stretched its leaves happily and kept poking its head up, as if trying to get more sunlight. But because it was broken in half, it was shorter than the other white roses beside it. These white roses blocked its sunlight, and only the top of the petals got a little bit of sunlight.

The white rose began to cry again, and a few white roses around it stretched out their leaves to comfort it.

Tang Mo turned around and walked towards the small door. The baby-faced youth stretched out his foot and wanted to kick the door, but Tang Mo stopped his leg with a small parasol.

He looked at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: “There used to be Queen of Hearts’ guards entering and leaving here. We should not make too much noise to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

The white-collar woman carefully pushed open the door, making sure there was no danger outside the door, and the three of them passed through the small door and left the glass conservatory.

Two months ago, Tang Mo absolutely did not believe that there would be such a big flower in the world, and he could speak. After Earth went online, he went through too many game copies and saw various game bosses. Not even Mario, Pinocchio, let alone a bunch of talking and crying flowers.

Behind the trellis of the vines is a long and narrow corridor.

This corridor is somewhat similar to the previous tunnel. On the walls on both sides, a small brazier is hung every ten meters, illuminating the entire corridor, but this time the flames on the brazier burn more vigorously, illuminating the corridor. be like daytime.

When walking through these braziers, Tang Mo’s eyes were still fixed on the patterns on the braziers. These patterns are similar to the patterns on the authentic brazier before. They all look like curves drawn by craftsmen without any regularity, but looking at them, there is always a wonderful sense of familiarity.

Tang Mo watched for a while, and out of the corner of his eye he suddenly realized that someone was looking at him all the time.

He turned his head quickly, and after seeing the other party clearly, he said coldly, “Mr. Bruce, what are you looking at?”

Knowing that Bruce Wayne was a pseudonym, Tang Mo still said it without changing his face, as if the baby-faced youth was really called this.

Babyface smiled and said, “Look at something interesting.”

Tang Mo gave an “oh”, his voice calm: “Am I an interesting thing?”

Babyface asked back, “Don’t you think you’re funny?”

Tang Mo gave him a fixed look, turned his eyes away, and did not answer his question.

The three continued to walk forward. The white-collar woman had long been disgusted by the baby face, she always stood by Tang Mo’s side and kept a distance from the baby face. This time, even Tang Mo walked far away from him. Only the baby face was alone with his hands in his pockets. He seemed very happy and walked in front of him with a smile on his face.

Through this corridor, the three came to a restaurant. A set of gilt cutlery was placed on the long table in the restaurant. The white-collar woman checked it carefully and said, “There is still some meat residue on the plate, and the knife and fork are still a little warm. It must have been eaten just now. Be careful, There might be someone here.”

The three cautiously guarded the surroundings, but nothing strange happened until they left the restaurant.

Tang Mo closed the heavy white door tightly. He turned around and found that the baby-faced youth was looking at him again. Tang Mo’s face slowly darkened. This time, the baby-faced eyes were even more weird, as if he was really looking at something interesting, because Tang Mo noticed that there were no other emotions in his eyes when he looked at him, there was only one kind of… strange of anticipation and excitement.

Tang Mo didn’t believe that the stranger he met for the first time had any special feelings for him, because at the beginning, when the three met in the oil painting corridor, the baby face looked at him with this look.

He must have seen something.

Tang Mo clenched the handle of the small parasol.

The Queen of Hearts’ jewel castle is extremely huge. The three of them walked for ten minutes, and they haven’t come to the end yet, and they haven’t met anyone. This time they passed through a hall made of gold. The white-collar woman pushed open the back door of the hall. She gave a surprised “Huh”: “Is there no light?”

After leaving the glass conservatory, every corridor and room that the three of them walked all the way through was brightly lit. Some are lit with flames, some with gemstones. There are various lighting tools, but without exception, they all illuminate this majestic and gorgeous castle. Once again encountering an environment without light, the white-collar woman cautiously took out the flashlight. She illuminated the things in the room, made sure there was nothing unusual, turned her head and said, “It’s an empty room, there’s no problem.” With that, she walked in.

Babyface followed her inside.

Tang Mo turned on his flashlight, and was the last one to enter the door, and at the same time he closed the door. Just as he closed the door, a fast wind sounded from above his head. Tang Mo reacted extremely quickly and took two steps back, but this thing was faster, and the cold sharp object swiped across Tang Mo’s chest. From the left shoulder to the right abdomen, Tang Mo’s clothes were cut by this sharp object.

This thing is too sharp, and after it was cut, a trace of blood seeped out along the small wound. The wound was not deep, because even if Tang Mo avoided, he only cut through the skin. But the wound was too long, and it quickly dyed the clothes on Tang Mo’s chest, looking very terrifying.

In the dark room, the white-collar woman hurriedly turned off the flashlight to illuminate the thing in front of Tang Mo.

“Leopard!” The white-collar woman exclaimed.

The next moment her voice sounded, the black cheetah lying beside the door roared, kicked its limbs on the ground, and rushed towards Tang Mo, who was closest to it. Its front paws were stained with some red blood, which was the mark it had cut through Tang Mo’s chest just now. Tang Mo raised the small parasol and quickly chanted a spell. The parasol opened and blocked in front of the black panther, who patted it with one paw.

This force was far beyond Tang Mo’s expectations, and Tang Mo was slapped back one meter by its terrifying claws.

The white-collar woman said anxiously: “It’s too powerful, we are not its opponents. The door is there, run!”

The white-collar woman said and turned back the light of the flashlight, and she quickly ran to the door on the other side of the direction. The baby face looked at Tang Mo and smiled, then turned to follow, and fled with the white-collar woman. Tang Mo was at the end of the three. He didn’t have time to pay attention to what the white-collar woman said at this time. He turned around and planned to leave the room with his companions. At this moment, the black panther roared, it opened its bloody mouth, and said Dazzling white flames shot out of its mouth.

Tang Mo widened his eyes in astonishment.

No one could have imagined that this very ordinary looking black panther could actually breathe fire!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Both the white-collar woman and the baby face saw the fire, but they had already run to the door, and the white-collar woman’s hand was on the door handle. Only Tang Mo was the closest to the Black Panther, and he could hardly avoid this sudden flame attack.

However, in this second, the white-collar woman’s eyes blinked slightly, her baby-faced hands were in her pockets, and she looked at Tang Mo’s figure about to be swallowed by flames with interest.

In this second, the white-collar woman finished blinking this time, and the corners of her baby-faced mouth just twitched.

The young man’s figure instantly appeared behind the black panther. Tang Mo raised the small parasol and stabbed the back of the black panther fiercely. The white flame disappeared in an instant, and the black panther howled in pain and fell to the ground. The thick blood quickly spread from under it and flowed to Tang Mo’s feet.

After dealing with the black panther, Tang Mo walked over to the white-collar woman and the baby face with a cold expression, and said, “I don’t know what this black panther is. Now that it’s dead, we’d better get out of here.”

The white-collar woman looked at him in shock: “You, what happened to you just now…” She paused and didn’t ask.

Tang Mo opened the door: “Let’s go.”

The white-collar woman looked at Tang Mo with complicated eyes. She didn’t ask any further questions and walked out of the room.

Those were Tang Mo’s props… or abilities, in any case, they were just a temporary team, and Tang Mo didn’t need to tell her how to teleport and kill the black panther just now. It’s just that she looked at Tang Mo with a little more vigilance and caution.

After Tang Mo and the white-collar woman left the room, they found that the baby face didn’t come out.

The white-collar woman turned her head and said, “What’s wrong?”

The baby-faced figure was shrouded in darkness, and the two of them could only see his feet, but could not see his expression. After a long while, the baby face came out of the dark room. He smiled and said, “It’s nothing. The black panther suddenly appeared just now, and I was a little scared. Are you going to continue?”

There was no truth in this man’s mouth.

The white-collar woman didn’t believe that he would be frightened by the black panther. With the level of this person’s neurosis, she and Tang Mo had been frightened by each other along the way. The white-collar woman glanced at him coldly, her baby face still smiling.

Tang Mo looked at his disgusting smile and narrowed his eyes.

… not the same as before.

He was still laughing, but not the same as before.

The baby face seemed to sense Tang Mo’s gaze, and he turned his head to look at Tang Mo. The two looked at each other and didn’t speak.

Soon, the three of them passed through the room. With the Black Panther’s raid just now, the white-collar woman was more cautious when she left the room this time. She opened the door, jumped back quickly, made sure there was no surprise, and looked inside the door cautiously. She looked carefully at every corner of the next room, and finally her eyes stopped suddenly, staring straight ahead.

“Is that a moon flower?!”

Tang Mo and Babyface both walked over.

I saw that behind this door (the three Tang Mo had already walked through countless doors at this time), there was a dark and long corridor. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, beautiful murals of angels are painted with special paints. The roof of this corridor is made of glass, and the moonlight shines through the glass roof and sprinkles on the frescoes. Those beautiful angels seem to be painted with diamonds, shining brightly.

At the end of this corridor is a small gem high platform, a round glass cover covers the high platform, and the silver flower in the shape of a meniscus is covered within it.

The corridor was too long, and the flower was not big enough. Tang Mo tried his best to look at it, so he could barely see its moon-shaped bud.

The baby face smiled and said, “It looks like a moon flower?”

Tang Mo affirmed: “That must be the moon flower.”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the white-collar woman took the lead. After the baby-faced cushion, the three of them cautiously walked into this corridor. After the three entered the corridor, the door slammed shut. Tang Mo and the white-collar woman immediately looked at the baby face.

The baby face innocently said: “I didn’t force the door to close, it closed by itself.”

The credibility of this sentence is questionable, Tang Mo and the white-collar woman are still staring at each other coldly. The baby face said helplessly: “It’s rare to tell the truth, you don’t believe it anymore.”

Tang Mo retracted his gaze and continued walking towards the moon flower that was placed at the end of the corridor.

The white-collar woman said: “The side quest is for us to ‘find the lying moon flower’. If we just ask to find it, then we have now ‘found’. But the black tower did not prompt us to complete the task…”

“It wants us to take that flower into our hands, this is the real ‘find the moon flower’.” Tang Mo added.

Without further ado, they have already arrived here, and the three hurried across the corridor to the moon flower. Tang Mo’s eyes flashed across the angel murals on both sides of the corridor. These murals are very similar to the murals of many church buildings. They are scenes of angels playing and having fun, but the paints are very special, and the diamonds can be reflected in the moonlight.

At the end of the corridor, the three of them were only ten meters away from the moon flower.

From such a close distance, Tang Mo could clearly see that this graceful and beautiful silver flower swayed gently in the moonlight. Perhaps it was the original luster of the moonlight, or perhaps it was its unique color. On its moon-like buds, layers of silver petals bloomed. It gently stretched the branches in the glass cover, and a layer of silver waves swayed on the dense petals. The moonlight shone, and it looked eerie and beautiful.

The white-collar woman’s breathing was a little short. She quickened her pace and wanted to pick up the flower. However, they had just walked ten meters in front of the flower when a gentle voice full of temptation rang in the narrow corridor— —

“Are you really coming over?”

The white-collar woman stopped.

Tang Mo looked at the flower in surprise, and curiosity also appeared on the baby-faced face.

Through a layer of transparent glass, the silver moon flower turned its beautiful bud towards Tang Mo and the others. Its inclusive and moving voice is like a feather, gently scratching the hearts of the three. “Three poor humans, you have come here, haven’t you found the thread on the ground?”

Tang Mo immediately looked down. The white-collar woman and the baby face also looked to the ground.

The three watched carefully for a while, and the white-collar woman said, “It’s here!”

Tang Mo looked in the direction of her finger.

There were no special lines on the flat and smooth ground. Tang Mo looked sideways for a while, and finally found an extremely thin silver straight line. This line is ten meters long, parallel to the direction of the corridor, and bisects the two-meter-wide corridor. It suddenly appeared from the feet of Tang Mo and the others, extending to the foot of the wooden high platform where the moon flower was.

At this moment, the three Tang Mo were standing at the starting point of the line.

Moonflower said softly: “Now you have two paths to choose, come from the left side of the line and take me off, and come from the right side of the line and take me off. Three poor humans, which one will you choose? Where’s the road?”

The white-collar woman calmed down and asked, “What’s the difference between these two roads?”

Moonflower: “Two paths, only one is the right path. Poor children, the wrong path will pay a price. In your short human life, you always have to make some choices, sometimes forced to The choices you make are sometimes choices you make voluntarily. Many times you cannot find out while standing in the choices, and this choice may determine your life. For example, now…”

The moon flower swayed its beautiful petals: “One road is full of traps, and the other road is calm. Human, which road do you choose to come from and pick me off?”

Tang Mo raised his head, looked at the moon flower that seemed to be very gentle and kind, and said lightly, “Did you lie just now?”

Moonflower’s voice stopped abruptly.

After a while, it made a strange laugh, its voice was still very soft, but the schadenfreude laughter just now had exposed its sinister and cunning mind.

“Human, do you think I lied just now?”
