The Earth is Online - Chapter 63

[Chapter 63]

When the iodine touched the wound, there was a slight tingling sensation. Tang Mo didn’t care about this kind of pain, he sat on the bed and stared straight ahead. He was facing a glass window, and outside the infirmary was a dark underground parking lot. When the lights in the room are turned on, that window becomes a mirror, reflecting the scene inside the house.

He saw that Fu Wenduo was giving himself medicine.

This feeling is always strange, and the touch on the back is also uncomfortable.

Tang Mo broke the silence: “That child… I mean Fu Wensheng, is he really your cousin?”

Fu Wenduo held the tweezers in one hand and said, “Well, if you’re not mistaken, it is indeed him.”

Tang Mo: “When he denied that he knew you, he was very decisive.” It didn’t seem like he was lying at all, and by the way, his acting skills deceived him and Bai Ruoyao well.

“I don’t know him very well. He is sixteen years younger than me. I went to see him when he was born. Later, I joined the army and went home less often, so I haven’t seen him much.” , Fu Wenduo’s voice was calm, “It’s understandable that he denies that he knows me. If someone asks about your relationship with me in the game, Tang Mo…” The voice stopped, Fu Wenduo raised his head and looked at the changing fan. The glass window that turned into a mirror raised the corners of his lips: “Will you admit it?”

He was found to be peeping.

Tang Mo immediately retracted his gaze, and said without changing his face, “Of course I won’t admit it.”

Fu Wenduo laughed and changed the subject: “This is your first time using the archiver. How does it feel?”

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo got to know each other because of Momo, a turkey egg. Three months have passed now. In the past three months, Fu Wenduo used the archiver once. At that time, he was forced to enter the second floor by the black tower to attack the tower. He could only choose to confess the true function of the turkey egg to Tang Mo, because he was not sure about attacking the tower at that time, so he had to use the archiver to ensure safety. In the end, he read the archive by suicide, and found a way to temporarily leave the tower attack game.

Tang Mo is different.

In Mario’s game, Tang Mo did not need to read the file to complete the game. In the later game of whack-a-mole and Pinocchio, Tang Mo did not read the archive, but only used the archive function.

This was his first real use of the archiver.

Tang Mo gradually became serious: “It’s amazing. When I was communicating with you in my mind, I noticed that after reading the file, your time did not change because of this. But when I was in the game, the time seemed to be reversed. I Back at the save point, I met two teammates from 50 minutes ago, including your cousin. They didn’t seem to notice anything, only I knew what I was going through. What happened next was exactly the same as before the file was read, I It’s easy to avoid some risks.” Speaking of which, Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the man in the glass mirror without hesitation: “Reading the file, is it a retrospective time?”

Fu Wenduo stopped while applying medicine to Tang Mo, and he also looked at Tang Mo in the mirror.

The eyes of the two people met on the pitch-black glass window, and Fu Wenduo said, “There are many possibilities, but the one I don’t agree with the most is going back in time.”

“How?” Tang Mo remembered the “a very fast man” ability he had. On the surface, this ability seems to be stationary time (Bai Ruoyao also mistakenly thought Tang Mo had the ability to stop time in the gem castle), but in fact, this ability is to speed up the user’s speed. When your speed is many times faster than others, the movements of others are static in your eyes.

This ability doesn’t really have a static time, it’s speeding up.

“Humans are three-dimensional creatures, which can be intuitively measured with the naked eye, length, width and height, which is space. But the universe we live in is four-dimensional.” Fu Wenduo said while disinfecting Tang Mo’s wound, “The fourth dimension of the universe is generally believed to be the fourth dimension of the universe. It is the time dimension, unfortunately we can only perceive this dimension, but we cannot control this dimension. The only thing we can do is to move clockwise along the axis of time.”

Tang Mo still knew this kind of simple common sense, he understood what Fu Wenduo meant: “The save function of turkey eggs may be to leave a mark on the time axis at the moment of saving, and when reading the file later Return directly to this node.”

“But Tang Mo, he didn’t trace me back to that time node.” Fu Wenduo said, “I have an intersection with your time node. You return to the archived node, and my time continues to move forward.”

Tang Mo fell into deep thought.

Fu Wenduo was right. One of the interesting things about using turkey egg Momo is that once saved, the information between the two players starts to be shared. Or compulsive, uncloseable sharing. This means that when Tang Mo chose to save, Fu Wenduo inevitably heard his voice in his mind. No picture can be seen, but all sounds can be heard.

When Tang Mo spoke about the theory of the Mobius ring and the Queen of Hearts, Fu Wenduo was listening quietly. Even if he was attacked by Bai Ruoyao and robbed Moonflower, Fu Wenduo heard all this. It’s just that he can’t participate in it, can only listen, and can’t make any changes.

When Tang Mo read the archive, he returned to fifty minutes ago. Fu Wenduo didn’t go back in time. On the earth, he was still walking on the normal time axis, and then he heard Tang Mo repeat all the actions of the previous round, and successfully countered Bai Ruoyao who had attacked him earlier.

Unless Momo’s time backtracking is limited to the game. This is very possible, because turkey eggs can only be used in the Black Tower game, and have no effect in the real world. but……

Tang Mo’s eyes widened, he thought of another possibility. He turned back quickly and said: “If it is said that since the archive, what I have experienced is false, the black tower changes the flow of time on both sides of you and me, and at the same time uses the consciousness of me and other teammates to simulate and speculate the most probable The future…” The voice stopped abruptly.

The sudden turn back made the two look at each other off guard.

Fu Wenduo was holding a cotton ball to disinfect a wound on Tang Mo’s shoulder. He lowered his head and locked his eyes on the bone-deep wound. Tang Mo suddenly turned his head, and the distance suddenly narrowed. Only five centimeters away, the hot air they breathed entwined. Tang Mo seemed to see the surprise in Fu Wenduo’s eyes. He rarely saw this person look surprised, but this time Tang Mo was also frightened.

Tang Mo’s eyes trembled, he opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Fu Wenduo clearly felt a fresh and clean smell entering his nose. It’s light, but kind of nice. His hand holding the tweezers gradually tightened.

For a while, the two didn’t move, just staring at each other from such a close distance.

The distance was so close that it seemed to be kissing from a certain angle, and the next moment, a smiling voice sounded from the door at the right time: “Ah, did you bother you?”

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo turned their heads together and looked at the door.

Luo Fengcheng was wearing a white research suit, leaning against the door and smiling: “Just kidding. It’s just that from my current perspective, it looks like we were kissing just now.” He said it very calmly, after all, there were two people in front of him. It’s not a big deal for a big man to be a man and a woman. However, after he finished speaking, Tang Mo’s throat became sore, and a strange feeling came to his heart.

…Fu Wenduo is not gay, but he is.

Luo Fengcheng thought it was difficult for two men to have any special relationship, so he made a joke, but Tang Mo knew that he liked men. Such a joke might really just be a joke to Fu Wenduo, but it was a bit embarrassing to him. Tang Mo deliberately sat on the edge of the bed and tried to stay away from Fu Wenduo.

Unexpectedly, Fu Wenduo took tweezers and pressed it on the deepest wound on Tang Mo’s back. When the iodine hit the wound, Tang Mo was stabbed so hard that he sat back again. He almost jumped up, touched Fu Wenduo’s chin, and leaned his back on Fu Wenduo’s lap.

Fu Wenduo said in a low voice, “This wound is next to the spine, so it’s better to be careful, and it can’t be any heavier until it heals. If you stab it 2 cm further to the side, it will pierce your third lumbar vertebra. With your resilience, It shouldn’t be paralyzed for the rest of your life, but at least you won’t be able to stand up again in a short period of time, and you won’t have the ability to fight back.” After a pause, he said, “When fighting against others, you can try to hit this deadly spot.”

Tang Mo: “…Okay.”

This is the difference in fighting consciousness. Tang Mo seldom fought before, most people from Jiangnan were friendly, and there were few opportunities to even talk. Now he has to fight. He knows that some places will be better, but when fighting is too hasty, he will not have this subconscious reaction, and will only attack casually. This requires long training.

Luo Fengcheng also came over after hearing Fu Wenduo’s words: “This injury is a bit serious. It’s very rare for you to be so alive with such a serious injury, Tang Mo.”

Tang Mo thought about this half an hour ago when he was dealing with Fu Wenduo’s wound, and now it was given to him by Luo Fengcheng, he said: “Fortunately. The self-healing ability of broken wounds will be weakened.”

The three did not continue on this topic.

Luo Fengcheng: “What were you talking about just now?”

The timing of Luo Fengcheng’s entry into the infirmary was relatively coincidental. Normally, before he approached, Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo would have noticed the sound of his footsteps. But at that time, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were in a rather awkward situation, and neither of them realized Luo Fengcheng’s approach.

The archiver problem involves time and consciousness, and maybe even the human brain. Professional problems need to be solved by professional people, Luofeng City is the best choice. Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng calmly, and he heard Fu Wenduo say, “It’s nothing, just talking about a game I played before.”

Tang Mo said, “Well, that game is quite difficult. It was the Christmas Eve game that Major Fu and I participated in. I mentioned it to you.”

Both men tacitly avoided the question of turkey eggs.

The turkey egg was Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s most important prop at present, none of them. They don’t want to tell anyone for the time being, even if that person is Luo Fengcheng.

Luo Fengcheng’s gaze swept across the two of them. He retracted his gaze and said, “I heard from you in the office just now that Major Fu’s cousin also cleared the first floor of the Black Tower. Is he in Shanghai?”

Fu Wenduo has already helped Tang Mo to finish disinfecting and wrap it in gauze. Tang Mo stood up, picked up his white shirt and put on his clothes. He said: “He should not be in Shanghai. When the black tower broadcast his customs clearance prompt, he said that he was a player in Huaxia District 6. Huaxia District 2 is Shanghai, and Huaxia District 6 does not know where it is. But it is definitely not Shanghai.”

Fu Wenduo: “Huaxia District 1 should be Beijing.”

When Fu Wenduo was still in Beijing, the black tower reminded “Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 1, to clear the first floor of the black tower”. A few days ago, Fu Wenduo cleared the second floor of the black tower in Shanghai, and the black tower reminded “Fu Wenduo, a smuggler from Huaxia District 2”. Most players may not have noticed this difference, but Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng have noticed it, and presumably many players who are prepared have also noticed this detail.

Luofengcheng Road: “Huaxia District 1 is Beijing, and Huaxia District 2 is Shanghai. This is the regional distribution of the black tower. Obviously, its regional division is based on each city. Every 10,000 square kilometers of land has For a black tower, according to Huaxia’s urban planning, most cities have an area of about 10,000 square kilometers. So it is also possible that the division of the area is based on the location of each black tower. A black tower is a region.”

Tang Mo looked up at Luofeng City and realized, “Beijing is District 1 and Shanghai is District 2. Could it be that it is divided into regions according to the city rankings of China?!”

Luo Fengcheng nodded lightly, but he said another thing: “I noticed this a long time ago, or in other words, I also noticed another thing at the same time. Tang Mo, Major Fu, everyone in the world. Players who clear the black tower for the first time in each region will be broadcast globally by the black tower. Major Fu is the exception, he is the first to clear the level, and he will be notified three times each time. Players who have cleared the level in other regions will only broadcast once. Such as the United States, Europe.”

The first place will always get privileges. Tang Mo was deeply touched, because he was the first player to clear the hard mode tower attack game, and he also received “special care” from the black tower.

Fu Wenduo’s voice was calm: “Why Europe.”

Tang Mo was slightly startled, and then he understood the crux of the problem, and his face sank.

Luo Fengcheng smiled at Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo’s solemn expressions. Talking to a smart person is easy. If Jakes is standing in front of him now, it is impossible for Jakes to understand his meaning before Luo Fengcheng can say the last word. But now, he just mentioned one sentence, both Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo knew what he wanted to say.

“Yes. There are the US area and the China area, why is it the European area, not the UK area, the German area, or the French area. Or, it belongs to the East Asian countries, why is the Huaxia area separate and not divided like Japan and South Korea? Entering the category of East Asia. It’s like Beijing is Huaxia District 1 and Shanghai is Huaxia District 2. What is it… that makes the Black Tower have such a clear regional division?”
