The Earth is Online - Chapter 68

[Chapter 68]

Next to the pier, a wooden hut.

At the moment when the black tower reminded the end, all four people in the room stood there in astonishment, looking at each other. The four were just about to go out. It was dawn. Except for Lin Yi, who had long been lurking around the circus and kept an eye on the movement inside, the other four preparations of the squad were divided into two groups and carefully searched the place where Mr. B disappeared yesterday. Unexpectedly, before going out, he received a reminder from the black tower.

The headed man with glasses calmed down and looked at his teammates: “Have you heard the reminder from the black tower just now?”

The three nodded in unison.

The man with glasses said: “Today is the second day, and six days later will be the surprise night of the strange circus. The black tower said that we have triggered the ‘contempt from the famous detective’, and the location of the monster will be announced every three days, which means that , in the next six days, it will announce the location of the monster twice.”

Lao Li immediately said: “Captain, since this is the case, do we still need to find that monster today?”

The man with glasses thought for a long time and said, “No. The black tower gave us this hint, but it actually hinted at three points. First, the reason why we can trigger this effect is because our players are currently at a disadvantage and cannot compete with the two black towers. BOSS contends. For the fairness of the game, it will give preferential treatment to players. And secondly, the black tower takes the initiative to give the position of the monster, which may mean…”

The man with glasses walked to the sand table in the center of the room. Three of his teammates came over. I saw the man with glasses stretched out his hand and pointed to the circle he drew by himself last night. When the five of them were discussing countermeasures last night, he drew two circles where Mr. B had disappeared. The first circle was relatively small, and considering that Mr. B might be amazing, the man with glasses erased that circle and drew a second, larger circle.

Today, the four of them are also planning to look for Mr. A and Mr. B in this circle.

The man with glasses pondered: “Since the Black Tower took the initiative to tell us the location and coordinates of the monster, it means one thing. There is a 80% chance that we can’t find the location of the monster on our own.” “The monster is not here at all. Mr. B’s strength is beyond my imagination. He disappeared here not because he hid the monster nearby, but because this place can make him disappear. .”

The teammates looked at him blankly: “Captain, what does this mean?”

Glasses man: “Old Li, yesterday you and Xiaoyi went to track down that Mr. B. We all saw on the pier that the carriage with the monster closed was very heavy, and Mr. B would leave deep footprints with every step he took. The rut of the car is also embedded in the ground, and you can see it at a glance. Right?”

Old Li nodded: “That’s right. That monster was really big and heavy, and the underground people all over the wharf were watching.”

The man with glasses pointed to the pile of sand that he had smashed to the ground just now: “Mr. B is pulling a heavy car and the force of the car is pressing on him, so he will leave footprints. No matter how fast he runs , the footprints and ruts on the ground will not disappear. So from the dock to here…” He tapped the sand with his fingers, “he didn’t run along the way. And the street where he disappeared is rare in the Underworld Kingdom. A few stone streets, not dirt streets.”

Lao Li reacted at once: “Damn it, he disappeared suddenly when he came here, because he didn’t want us to follow his footprints to find him.”

In fact, they should have thought of this long ago, and it was only because of the fact that “Mr. B’s hiding place is nearby” that they ignored this key information.

“It’s me who underestimated Mr. B’s strength.” The male captain with glasses blamed himself, “If I guess correctly, he can pull the monster carriage to any place in the underground city, so the Black Tower thinks that we must not be able to get there. Find his location within three days. Of course, there is actually an advantage to this. Mr. B’s current hiding place must be accessible only by taking a stone road from here. He did not take any dirt road, otherwise he would Leave footprints and ruts. Old Li, Xiao Chen, Brother Hao, in the next three days, we will follow every stone road in the capital to look for it, maybe we may find Mr. A, Mr. B and the monster.”

“Okay!”

After explaining the tasks for the next three days, Xiao Chen said curiously: “Captain, you said ‘contempt from a famous detective’ implies three points for us. You only said two points. The black tower thinks that the player is at a disadvantage, and Mr. B may Hide monsters in every stone road in the city…what else?”

The man with glasses raised his hand to support his glasses with a calm expression: “Didn’t you hear Heita say that Mr. A and Mr. B are playing around with 21 players?”

All three players were stunned.

The man with glasses sighed: “There are 23 players, and after one night, there are only 21 players left, and two people are missing. What does this mean? This means… The man on the dock yesterday had a teammate, and he was with his teammates. , has been killed by Mr. A and Mr. B.”

Abandoned building, second floor.

When Wang Yinggui woke up, he opened his eyes, and there was darkness in front of him. Wang Yinggui was so frightened that she wanted to stand up and run away, but he just came over to support the floor with his hands and wanted to stand up, when suddenly his head hit something. He groaned and fell back again. Soon, he remembered what happened before he fainted.

He was caught by Mr. A!

Yesterday, Mr. B glared at him on the dock. Wang Yinggui was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He walked around the dock for another five minutes before looking for his teammates. He thought that Mr. B had forgotten himself, but he was caught by Mr. A as soon as he and his teammates met.

Wang Yinggui couldn’t understand, she didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, how did Mr. A and Mr. B discover their identities at a glance. Could it be that they, like Mr. A and Mr. B, have their own identities on their heads? But they have nothing on their heads.

Wang Yinggui was puzzled. After being discovered by Mr. A, he and his teammates were unable to fight back at all. In less than a minute, they were subdued by Mr. A and threw them here with their heads covered.

“No, Laoniao and I have been pretending not to know who they are, and pretending that we can’t see the letters above their heads. How can they be so sure that we are players and thieves?” Wang Yinggui thought for a long time, and suddenly realized: “Wait a minute. Wait, where is this. Am I dead? No, I’m not dead, I’m alive!”

Wang Yinggui groped in the darkness, and soon he reached the end of the space. It’s a small cage, so small that it can only hold him alone, and he can’t even stand up (will bump his head). He was imprisoned here, completely immobile. He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Old bird?”

Silence answered him.

Wang Yinggui asked again: “Lao Niao, Lao Niao, are you there? Lao Niao…”

After shouting for a long time, a dull humming sound rang beside him. Wang Yinggui immediately leaned over, and he was blocked by the cage. He shouted “Old Bird” several times in a row, and his teammate finally woke up. Wang Yinggui told his teammates about his current situation. The old bird touched it for a long time and said, “I was also locked in a cage, a small cage, a cage the size of a sparrow that can’t stand up.”

Wang Yinggui: “What do you say, where are we? Why didn’t Mr. A and Mr. B kill us?”

“…He didn’t kill us, it must be because we are still useful!” The old bird racked his brains and analyzed, “By the way, don’t the underground and monsters like to eat our players? They must sell us. , sold for money! The assembly copy of the banana tavern last month, the banana wine in it, was brewed from the corpse of the player. When it’s over, they will definitely sell us there. What a mess, eagle.”

Wang Yinggui was so worried about himself that he was about to speak to comfort his teammates when suddenly, he heard a strange voice. It was as if something slammed on the ground and came towards them. Listening to the sound is definitely a behemoth, and its footsteps on the ground actually made the cage of the two vibrate slightly.

Eagle swallowed: “Did you hear that?”

Old Bird: “I heard it.”

“what?”

Lao Bird: “I don’t know, what is this all about…”

“grumble!”

A surprised cry rang out in front of the two of them. The sound was so close, as if the thing had already stood in front of them. But the eyes of Wang Yinggui and his teammates were completely dark, and their eyesight had not evolved to the point where they could see without any light source. The two screamed in horror, and their voices made the thing even more excited, and they began to use the cage they were in as a fun toy ball, tossing it into the air, and then falling high.

In the cage of the monster, Wang Yinggui and his companions screamed incessantly.

Outside the cage, when Tang Mo heard the old bird say, “Mr. A and Mr. B don’t kill us because they want to sell us money”, a strange look appeared on his face. When he heard the screams of the two being played by monsters later, he shook his head helplessly.

“Earth is still so stupid after it goes online… Such a naive player who even cleared the first floor of the Black Tower. How lucky is this.”

I have to say, the luck of these two players is really good.

Tang Mo heard Fu Wenduo say that the force of these two people is not strong, and they are only mid-level in the Atak organization. At present, only Chen Shanshan has cleared the first floor of the black tower, and the others (including Jakes and Tang Qiao) are strictly required by Luo Fengcheng to challenge the first floor of the black tower in two months to prevent accidents.

The force value is not high, and the conversation just now doesn’t sound too smart. If you can clear the first floor of the black tower, it is very likely that you have been in the past. For example, after entering the game and encountering a god teammate, if you are lucky enough not to die, you can follow the teammates all the way through the customs.

Besides, the luckier thing for them is that in this game, Mr. A and Mr. B are not real underground people, but Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo. If they were real people, it would be impossible to lock the two of them up, but would kill them and eat them directly.

Actually killing both of them is the best solution. By killing them, there will be two fewer enemies, and there will be no worries. But Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t choose that, instead they knocked them out and put them in a cage, and now they have to spend their energy guarding them.

The two people were still screaming miserably in the cage. Tang Mo leaned against the pillar and pondered, “It’s better to kill Qing Jing.” With that said, Tang Mo still stood there and did not move.

At noon, when Fu Wenduo came back from outside, Tang Mo immediately walked up.

“How?”

Fu Wenduo’s voice came from under the heavy helmet: “There are people, about three groups of people. Two of them are hidden so deeply that the exact number and location cannot be seen, and the other is a middle-aged man.” Pick up a rock and quickly draw a map on the wall. He drew very fast, and although it was a simple map, he marked every location clearly.

Here’s a map around the Circus of Strange.

“There are two groups of people hiding here and here.” Fu Wenduo took a stone and pointed at a small three-story building behind the circus, “Here, the middle-aged man is hiding on the third floor.”

Tang Mo said, “Did they see you?”

Fu Wenduo: “The person hiding in this place may have seen it.” He was referring to a bush beside the square, “When I left the circus, she wanted to follow me, and I pushed her away.”

Originally, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo planned to spend the first six days in peace, and wait until the seventh day to go to the circus to deliver the big earthworms. But the heavens are not as good as the human beings. The Black Tower gave the player the effect of “contempt from a famous detective”, disrupting Tang Mo’s plans. So Tang Mo changed his plan and asked Fu Wenduo to take a look near the circus. There must be players hiding there, monitoring every move of the circus.

“There are only three groups of people, excluding these two people, there are only 19 players left.” Tang Mo spoke so softly that Wang Yinggui and Lao Bird, who were kicked by monsters as small balls in the cage, could not be heard, “Assuming that These three groups have an average of 3-4 people in each team, so they are about ten people. There are nine people left, and they did not go to the circus to monitor. What are they thinking?”

Fu Wenduo: “Maybe there is a team with more than four people, but a lot of people, five or six people.”

“It’s possible for five people, but it’s a bit difficult for six people. The only players who can enter this dungeon are players who have cleared the first floor of the black tower. It is too difficult to have six players form a team and clear the first floor of the black tower at once.” Tang Mo After thinking, “Maybe there are five teams, maybe there are two teams who give up monitoring near the circus.”

Tang Mo picked up the stone and drew on the wall.

“The three groups of people can be counted as eleven people. There are eight people left. It should be that two or three teams gave up the circus and did not monitor it.” Tang Mo looked at the numbers classified on the wall and fell into a daze. brooding. He slowly turned his head and looked at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo was wearing thick armor and a silver helmet. Tang Mo couldn’t see his expression at all, but he felt that this person was looking at him at the moment. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Tang Mo asked, “What would make them give up monitoring such an obvious place.”

Fu Wenduo’s voice was calm: “I can’t move freely, or I’m dead.”

Tang Mo fell silent.

“About two or three teams give up monitoring near the circus. It’s really too many. If it was me, I would definitely arrange for someone to go there early and lurking overnight.” Fu Wenduo raised his hand and walked one kilometer around the circus. After drawing a circle, “One or two people didn’t expect this to be possible. Seven or eight people didn’t do it. It’s not normal.”

Tang Mo said, “Do you think you are imprisoned or dead?”

Under the helmet, Fu Wenduo’s resolute face did not fluctuate at all, and the words he said were the same as his expression at the moment.

His voice was low, and his tone was certain: “Dead.”

The glasses man and Lao Li searched carefully along every stone road in the capital of the kingdom, but found nothing.

Most of the roads in the Underworld Kingdom are dirt roads, and there are only eighteen stone roads. But these roads are the main roads of the Underworld Kingdom, with people coming and going on both sides of the roads, so it is difficult to find anomalies. After a whole day of searching, the man with glasses and his companions returned to the hut by the pier. After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Chen and Brother Hao also returned. Half an hour later, the dusty young woman jumped in from the window.

The five exchanged information.

Lao Li: “The captain and I searched three ways, but we didn’t find anything unusual. Although we are participating in the game now, those underground people didn’t recognize our identity and ate us. But we didn’t dare to get too close to them. Asked them for news. So found nothing. How about you?”

Xiao Chen shook his head: “No.”

A young female voice sounded: “I saw Mr. A.”

All four of them looked at her.

Lin Yi said calmly: “Mr. A, wearing armor and a helmet on his head, he can’t see his appearance. He went to the circus this morning and sneaked in through the back door, no one should notice, at least in two other places. The monitoring player probably didn’t notice him. I just happened to see him. My ability is more inclined to stealth, so I followed to see where he was going. But Mr. A found me, he Get rid of me soon.”

The Eyed Man asked, “What did he want to do in the circus, the monster?”

Lin Yi: “I didn’t see the monster, he went alone.”

The glasses man’s fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Lao Li thought for a while, then turned his head and asked: “Captain, since Mr. A didn’t send the monster to the circus, what did he do there? He has such obvious letters on his head, doesn’t he know that our players can see that Alphabet, want to sneak into the circus, what are you doing?”

Man with glasses: “If he really didn’t know, he wouldn’t sneak in through the back door quietly, avoiding his sight.”

“Then what does he want to do?”

The man in glasses tapped the table faster and faster.

The knocking sound of da da da reverberated softly in the room, and all four team members held their breaths, waiting for the captain’s answer. Three minutes later, the man with glasses sighed heavily and looked at the young woman: “Xiaoyi, don’t go tomorrow. Mr. A has already discovered you. He went to the circus today to see how many people want to Stealing monsters. They’re collecting player information.”

Lin Yi was startled: “The captain, I’ve already been exposed?”

Glasses man: “Yes, so don’t go to the circus to monitor. Tomorrow we will continue to look for every stone road to see if we can find anything. The day after tomorrow is the day when the black tower informs the player of the monster’s location. Save your energy, the day after tomorrow should be a big battle.”

Lin Yidao: “That Mr. A is indeed very strong. He found my tracking, and he was very fast when he got rid of me. He is a very powerful enemy.”

“The enemy I’m talking about may not just be Mr. A and Mr. B.”

Everyone looked at the man with glasses.

The man with glasses suddenly stopped tapping on the table, and he said, “Including us, if there are only three groups of people monitoring the circus, there are too few people. There were four groups of people who followed Mr. B on the first day. Now There are only three groups of people left. At least ten people are not monitoring the circus. There are too many people who are not monitoring the circus, something must have happened, and only three groups of people are monitoring the circus.”

Xiao Chen asked nervously, “Captain, what can happen?”

“I don’t know either. But it feels…not a good thing.”

Entering the third day of the dungeon, there are still four days until the surprise night of the Circus of Strange.

When the glasses man and Lao Li reached the seventh stone road they were searching for, they stopped and looked at the crowd gathered in the distance. The two looked at each other and walked over quietly, wanting to see what happened. Surrounded by underground people, they must hide their identities and pretend to be the same kind of underground people. However, this time, the glasses man and Lao Li have not yet started acting, they have already seen something like that.

The man with glasses raised his head and slowly opened his mouth when he saw the three humans hanging from the eaves.

Old Li also looked at the three corpses in disbelief. When he saw the three people’s dissected stomachs and their internal organs, his expression changed. Immediately afterwards, he saw one of the intestines hanging down and falling to the ground, leaving only a section connected to the stomach. When the wind blew, the intestines floated intermittently in the air.

Lao Li felt that the river was turning upside down in his stomach, and he almost vomited, but he quickly held back.

The underground people looked at the three corpses and gulped.

“Three human players, unfortunately dead, the meat is not fresh.”

“Don’t eat it if it’s not fresh, I’m the first to see it, I want to eat it first!”

But after a long time, the underground people who rushed up tore the three corpses from the eaves. They plucked all three’s limbs, crunching. Lao Li was so sick that he walked aside and didn’t look at it. The man in glasses wanted to go up and examine the corpse, but he looked at the swallowed corpse, his face paled, and he turned to leave.

Old Li was uncomfortable: “Captain, don’t you want to vomit?”

The man with glasses did not speak, and continued to walk forward. When he left this street and came to a remote alley, the man with glasses spit out all at once.

Lao Li also vomited, and at the end only sour water remained. He said angrily: “Fuck, those underground people will kill if they want to, eat if they want, why would they cut open their stomachs and hang them on it to show the public! These underground people just look like people, they are not at all. Humans are monsters!”

“Not underground people.”

Old Li was stunned: “What?”

The man with glasses wiped his mouth and narrowed his eyes: “I have long discovered that although underground people eat humans like monsters, they rarely attack humans. Especially now, we are players participating in the game, and the five of us are in the kingdom. There are many underground people in the capital, but none of them discovered our identity, and they took the initiative to attack us.”

Lao Li: “Captain, what do you mean?”

“It’s the player, kill them.”

At twelve o’clock noon on the fourth day, the kingdom of the underground people.

The hot sun hung high in the air, Tang Mo stood by the window of the abandoned building, looking up at the dazzling sun. A clear child’s voice sounded in his ear——

“Ding dong! Turn on ‘Contempt from a famous detective’.”

A green ray shot out from the center of the sun, divided into eighteen parts, and shot to the earth. This ray of light flew very fast, and even with Tang Mo’s dynamic vision, he couldn’t see where the other sixteen rays of light were shooting. Obviously, the black tower was hiding where the other players were.

Tang Mo turned his head and asked, “Did you see clearly?”

Fu Wenduo: “No.”

The two said no more, and two green lights shot into the abandoned small building where they were. Among them, two rays of light shot into the cage where the monster was locked. There was a whimpering sound inside. Two days have passed, and the two players have been exhausted by the monsters. They can’t even shout, they can only hum in pain, and they don’t have the strength to read the so-called “contempt from a famous detective” prompt.

The two green lights that flew into the cage were caught by Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo before they entered.

Tang Mo looked down at the green light that flew into his palm. He carefully observed it for a moment, raised his head, and met Fu Wenduo’s gaze in the air. Then, the two turned on the green light together.

In an instant, two green lights flew above the heads of the two of them, covering their heads. Tang Mo was stunned for a moment. Looking at Fu Wenduo’s green light above his head, he faintly sensed something was wrong. He hadn’t realized what was wrong, but soon, a map appeared in front of them. There was a green heart in the center of the map. The place where Tang Mo was drawn was the abandoned building where the two of them were at the moment.

A line of small characters slowly emerged beside the map——

[Prop: Contempt from a famous detective]

【Owner: Wang Yinggui】

【Quality: None】

[Level: None]

[Attack Power: None]

[Function: Displays the location of the big monster in the circus. 】

[Restriction: One-time props, only displayed for three seconds, and then the map disappears. Please remember the detailed location carefully. 】

[Note: Want to get information without paying? Small, to live a good life, you have to have a little green on your head. 】

Three seconds later, the green light above Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo disappeared. Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo: “Are you ready?”

Fu Wenduo seemed to be still immersed in the fact that he was forced to go green just now, and did not answer.

Tang Mo asked again, “Fu… Tang Ji?”

Fu Wenduo looked up at him: “Okay.”

Tang Mo clenched his fingers and raised the corners of his lips. He put his mask back on and smiled: “Then follow our plan… Tang Ji, see you in three hours.”

The next moment, the two of them turned into a streamer and disappeared into the room in two parts. In the center of the room, a huge cage stood quietly in place, no one asked.
