The Earth is Online - Chapter 6

[Chapter Six]

“Ah, my book!”

The little girl ran to Tang Mo at a speed that no human could match, and hugged the book “The Secret of the Disappearance of Mayan Civilization” into her arms. She held a giant match in her left hand and a book in her right. After confirming that this was the book she had lost, she ran to the bookshelf and sat down, leaning against the bookshelf and starting to read.

“Mom is going to test what I have in this book tomorrow, I have to read it quickly.”

In the huge and spacious library, the voice of the little girl flipping through the books squeaked.

The face of the god stick became extremely pale at this moment, his lips were purple, and he stared at Mosaic and the book in her hand. It was as if he had been fished out of the water, and in just a few minutes, the stick’s hair was wet with sweat. He looked at Tang Mo and smiled bitterly: “It turned out to be this book. When did you know about it?”

Tang Mo lowered his head and looked at Gaze Stick’s right hand. On the back of that hand, the white pattern of angel wings gradually turned black, turning into black devil wings.

Tang Mo’s voice was calm: “From the moment I saw you”

The god stick opened his eyes in disbelief: “How is it possible!”

The little girl was still sitting on the ground reading a book, and it seemed that she could not hear the voice on their side. The game was over, Tang Mo and Shen Gong walked to the reading area of the library, pulled out the chairs and sat down.

Tang Mo looked up at Mosaic in the distance. I am afraid she is the only one in the entire library who is still in the mood to read books patiently. The God Stick no longer had the cowardice and fear he had before. He sat in front of Tang Mo and began to talk about the truth of the matter: “I pulled you into this game.”

This was beyond Tang Mo’s expectations.

The magic stick said: “Sneaking into the library was an accident. I sneaked in before you entered the library. You know, many of us homeless people come to the library to waste time, and your security guards before closing at night. To find us all and kick us out of the library. But the security also made a mistake, your library is too close to that tower, so after it made the sound of ‘Earth is online’, I chose to observe that tower here. Then at On the third day, I was reading a book when I accidentally overheard what it said to me.”

The god stick raised his head and looked at Tang Mo earnestly and frantically. He didn’t seem to be looking at Tang Mo, but saw some great existence.

“It said to me that the game is about to start.” The magic stick looked at the air obsessively and repeated: “I was selected by it!”

Tang Mo didn’t talk to him.

Shenbang is just a crazy religious person, not a lunatic, all the staff in the library know this. So after a while, the magician calmed down, except for a morbid flush on his face. He said: “The game it picked for me was a 1v1 two-player game, which I couldn’t complete by myself. I was thinking about whether to leave the library and find someone to start the game. At this time, you came in. You and I are also acquainted, I After thinking about it, I deliberately made a sound to lure you over. Now it seems that it was the worst decision I ever made.”

Tang Mo asked him, “What is the punishment for losing the game? What is elimination?”

The magic stick shook his head: “I don’t know, it didn’t say it. The voice I hear is the same as the voice you hear, it never says redundant words, it tells me that the game object is my choice, the game content But it’s up to you to decide. It’s fair. Before this game officially started, I didn’t know it was a book-finding game. Maybe because you are a librarian and fit your identity, this game appeared.” Said At this point, the magic stick paused and looked at Tang Mo earnestly: “How on earth did you find me?”

In fact, the matter is very simple, Tang Mo: “You are not a lunatic, nor a fool. Your reason for sneaking into the library is very untenable, and every behavior of yours after we met was extremely fearful and fearful. God… Mr. Chen, I also know a fanatical religious person, if that person said to me ‘the black tower is a god’ three days ago, then I believe that three days later when he was selected by the black tower to start the game, his behavior would not be panic. Fear, but rejoicing.”

The straight back of the magic stick fell heavily on the back of the chair: “So that’s how it is…”

Tang Mo: “It’s just a suspicion. I’m not sure if you are Lord Ye, who likes dragons. You’re really so cowardly.”

“Then why do you know it’s me?”

“Because the game has to be fair.”

The god stick looked at Tang Mo in confusion.

Tang Mo touched the angel wings pattern on the back of his hand: “I also like to play games. A game I often play can be regarded as one of the fairest card games in the world. In a game, skill can be stronger than luck, such as I often play bridge; luck can also be stronger than skill, such as stud | ha. But one thing about these games is equivalent, that is, it is absolutely fair to both sides of the game. After the game starts, luck is also a kind of strength, both sides No matter who is lucky or who is unlucky, it is the difference in strength. The game itself is fair.”

The magic stick understood his words: “What does this have to do with our game?”

Tang Mo looked up at him: “Don’t you think this game is very unfair?”

“what?”

“There are only three rules of the game. The first one is to prohibit violence. This is also a deep meaning, let’s not talk about it. Second, the angel can get a message during the day; third, the devil can burn a bookshelf at night. It seems that the angel is going from dozens of Finding one book out of ten thousand books is a very difficult game; the devil has a three-in-twenty chance of winning the game.”

The magic stick suddenly understood: “You mean this game is unfair to the angels?”

“No.” Tang Mo smiled and shook his head, “It’s unfair to the devil.”

The god stick was dumbfounded.

“For the angel, this game has a problem-solving idea. He just needs to find the book according to the clues. But for the devil, he only does one thing, and that is to burn the book. No one gives him Any hints, and no one told him where the book was. Then the game became like this – the angels were playing a puzzle game, the demons were purely gambling. The angels could rely on skill and luck to complete the game, the demons It’s only luck that can be counted on.”

The magician defended: “But the probability of angels finding the right book is much lower than that of demons.”

“I said that after the game starts, luck becomes a kind of strength. If the devil does not burn the right book, his luck is 0, which is no different from the angel. There is also the rule of ‘no violence’, it It completely kills the way the demons force the clues, so the demons have to get the game clues from somewhere else.”

The magic stick didn’t speak, his face turned blue and white. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly: “It’s me who’s playing less games. Tang Mo, is that bridge you often play fun? Maybe I should play more in the future.”

Tang Mo said, “If there is a chance, I will take you to play with me.”

The stick smiled and nodded.

Tang Mo’s eyes gradually narrowed: “If he is the one who plays the game with me, maybe the ending of this game will be completely rewritten.”

“Who is he?”

Tang Mo smiled: “It’s a friend I often play bridge with. He’s very good, if it were him, he would definitely be able to think of the things I was thinking about, and then lie to me with perfect reasons. At least he won’t show up several times. Your mistake.”

The magic stick didn’t feel ashamed, but asked for advice humbly: “I still have mistakes? I thought I had performed well. When I saw you, I deliberately pretended to be very scared because I was afraid that you would find my loopholes. Later, I took the opportunity to speak as little as possible, do less things, and follow your orders.”

“But you still make mistakes. Like when I say there’s no one else in the library but us, and the demon doesn’t know where, you say ‘he’s hiding’. If it’s a normal reaction, there are two people in our team of angels, subconsciously Also think that the demon team also has two people, and will use ‘them’ instead of ‘he’.”

The corner of Shen stick’s mouth twitched: “I’m suddenly very interested in this bridge card.”

“But I thought I could expose you on the first night, but I didn’t expect the bookshelf to burn. I thought you had company. But that’s not realistic. There are two demons and only one angel, which is also true for angels. It’s not fair.” Unless Black Tower thinks the two of you together are on the same level as me.

Tang Mo coughed twice, but didn’t say the next words: “The second day I kept thinking, who helped you set the fire. There are two answers. The first is that as long as your mind is moved, It will catch fire, and you don’t need others to help you control it. Second, someone will help you set the fire. Only you, me, and the little girl appear in this library. Except for the black tower, she is the only one who can help you set the fire.”

Shenbang said: “But even I don’t know that she helped me set the fire.”

“That’s understandable too. You forgot, little girls hate reading. You want to burn down a bookshelf, and she’ll be happy to help you. That makes sense. By the way, I looked at her when she came by just now. Hair, unfortunately, the end of the hair is a little burnt. Maybe she accidentally touched it when she set fire to it before.”

Shen stick slumped on the chair: “I’m convinced that I lost.”

Tang Mo originally wanted to say more, but looking at the god stick, he shook his head and smiled and didn’t say any more.

There are still many things that God Stick didn’t notice, such as how he tested God Stick and deceived God Stick to burn the H-type bookshelf. Another example is the little girl’s three reminders, which have long exposed the identity of the magic stick.

There’s a lot of nonsense in those three tips, but it boils down to just three.

First, the devil can deceive people.

This is a hint to the angels: the devil hides his identity and hides by your side.

Second, the angels know the book.

This reminder seems useless, because Tang Mo knows too many books, even if he has an impression of it recently, there are hundreds of books at least.

Third, the devil knows the book.

This is a book that both Tang Mo and Shenqiu know.

The range is still very wide.

Shen Gong read books in the library for a year, and both he and Tang Mo knew at least a few thousand books. The difficulty of the game can’t be that big. If the game cannot be cleared, then it can directly eliminate two players without starting the game at the beginning. So this answer must be something Tang Mo and Shen Gong can think of.

Tang Mo’s first reaction was the book “The Secret of the Disappearance of Mayan Civilization”.

This is a book he communicated with Shenbang before the Black Tower incident. If you were to ask them which book they both knew and remembered the most, it would definitely be this one.

The magic stick is definitely not stupid. When the game starts suddenly, he can think of acting at once, and he can act realistically, which is already very good.

Tang Mo suddenly began to think, if it was Victor, I am afraid that the moment the two of them entered the game together, they would take the initiative away from him. Victor will never put himself in a weak position like a magician. It seems that the magic stick acted like this to make Tang Mo ignore himself and make fewer mistakes, but he also lost the ability to reverse Tang Mo’s thoughts and mislead Tang Mo.

If it was Victor, what would he do…

At the same time, in the distant capital, a tall and handsome man in a neat military uniform strode into the conference room. He pulled out his chair and sat at the edge of the conference table, eyes like eagles, looking at the scientist who was giving a speech and the text on the big screen.

“Three days ago, the black tower was in a phantom state, and we called it a type A mirage. In the past six months, we have done various experiments to detect the relevant data of the black tower…”

In the conference room, the scientists discussed fiercely, and finally the chief spoke in a loud voice: “So, today is the third day. What conclusions have you come to?”

The scientists were all silent.

As the person with the lowest rank present, Fu Wenduo silently looked away and looked out the window.

In the dark night sky, there is a huge black tower, sharp like a knife, hanging above the heads of 21.72 million people in Beijing.

It is now 3:42 am on November 18, 2017, and there are still 4 hours and 18 minutes until the end of the three-day elimination period.

library.

Shenzhu sat on the chair sweating profusely, saying that he was not nervous, but his trembling lips revealed his uneasy heart. Now no one knows what “elimination” really means, maybe it’s just a game lost, maybe more things will be lost.

At this moment, da da da footsteps sounded from the depths of the bookshelf.

The little girl Mosaic took the book and ran to Tang Mo’s side. The two ponytails were fluttering in a beautiful arc in the air. She held out her small breasts and couldn’t hide her happiness in her tone. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and held the giant match in front of Tang Mo.

“You angel still have two brushes. Since you found the book for me, I’ll give it to you.”

Tang Mo took the big match in disbelief, and asked subconsciously, “The little girl who sells matches?”

In an instant, a gap appeared in the thick mosaic on the little girl’s face. Tang Mo’s eyes widened, and he saw that the mosaic disappeared at the position of the little girl’s eyes, revealing a pair of dead fish eyes that were large and godless. Other places are still mosaic, only the eyes are exposed!

Tang Mo held his breath, alert to this strange change.

I saw that pair of dead fish eyes glanced at Tang Mo absentmindedly, and the strong contempt turned into reality.

“Uncle, haven’t you grown up yet, have you ever seen such a cute little girl selling matches?”

Tang Mo, who changed from brother to uncle: “…”

Dare you to disappear in mosaic just to express contempt! ! !
