[2 more] You have a boyfriend?
One year ago, tens of thousands of virtual black towers suddenly appeared all over the world. Immediately, major countries and organizations around the world created research teams to study these mysterious and strange black towers. While the public panicked, the Black Tower remained calm. For half a year, it has been hovering over the Earth in a virtual state.
Because they could not touch the Black Tower, the researchers could not extract the substances related to the Black Tower. Whether by optical or acoustic means, they could not find evidence of the Black Tower's existence. It is like a holographic projection, human beings can only see it with their eyes, can not touch, can not touch, there is no entity.
But that doesn't mean that during those six months, human beings didn't try and do research.
"Most of the people on the internet think that the Black Tower is an alien ship, and there is a small minority who think that it is a conspiracy by the big powers. First of all, we can already discard the latter possibility." Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo, who did not retort, and apparently acquiesced to his statement. Tang Mo continued, "Then, only alien products remain."
The idea that the Black Tower had something to do with aliens was mainstream even before Earth came online. But no one has been able to find reasonable proof.
Tang Mo said this and then stopped saying anything as he turned his attention to Fu Wenduo.
There was not a sound in the silent gas station. Only the evening breeze quaked against the glass one at a time, making the whistling sound of the wind blowing against the windows.
"The last player with this ability", this sentence is too much information. Not only did it imply that there had been a player who also possessed this ability, which this note didn't make clear, but what happened to the last player. Did he die, or did he pass the Black Tower? Or did he make some other special move.
After a long period of silence, Fu Wen voice couldn't help but speak up, breaking the silence, "If it's really related to the aliens ...... what would happen then?"
As he said this, the child tried to look as calm as possible, but he couldn't help but turn around, look through the window, and see the black tower suspended over Beijing in the distance. No matter how he looked at it, the tower stood there silently, unchanged.
"Not good."
A low male voice rang out, and Fu Wen Sound immediately looked back at his big brother.
Fu Wenduo looked calm and said lightly, "Regardless of whether the Black Tower is related to aliens or not, where exactly did it come from. At present, the most important thing for us is to survive. Live, attack the tower, and pass the level. That way, we can find more clues and pass the level to understand its true purpose."
Fu Wen's throat tightened, and he looked again at Tang Mo, who he had expected to give a different answer, but who would have guessed that Tang Mo would slowly curl his lips. He walked over to the window and looked at the black tower as well. He said the same thing as Fu Wenduo: "It's really not good. If the black tower is really something the aliens put on Earth, Earth has become a game because the black tower came online. All we can do is win the game and live well."
Outside the window there was a light rain again, Fu Wen sounded his lips moved, and finally closed his mouth.
Yes, with the information they currently possessed, even if they speculated that the Black Tower might have something to do with alien civilizations, it was just a speculation that could not be confirmed. What was more important in front of them was to pass more games, pass the Black Tower, and live.
These two days rushed to Beijing is indeed a little tired, Fu Wen sound lying on the ground, quickly fall asleep.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo did not sleep.
Although he told the children that "the truth about the Black Tower is not important", Tang Mo always furrowed his brows and pondered over all the information he had. He vaguely felt that the truth about the Black Tower might be more than just aliens. If it was really aliens, then why did the other side want to drop the Black Tower on Earth. What good would that do them?
If they wanted to take over the Earth, they could totally just kill the humans. Being able to make something as mysterious as the Black Tower, the aliens definitely had the strength to exterminate humans. But they didn't do it, instead they used the Black Tower and very troublesomely waited for the humans to die one by one because they failed to pass the game.
"...... It can't really be the same as those movies that play out, watching humans play games and kill each other and find it amusing?" Tang Mo couldn't help but spit out.
"Do you think it's funny?"
Tang Mo looks aside.
Fu Wenduo pulled out his chair and sat next to him. The two sat in a small office on the inside of the gas station, separated by a door, and talked without disturbing the children's sleep.
Tang Mo : "It's not interesting, it's boring."
Hearing this answer, Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow.
Tang Mo didn't want to continue on this topic. They didn't know the truth about the Black Tower, everything was just speculation. He pulled away from the topic and said, "But there's still good news from checking your psychic ability this time. Your alien ability level is level seven." Tang Mo recalled, "Out of the more than twenty different kinds of psychic abilities I've collected, only yours is at level seven, and the highest the others have is level five."
Players are supposed to be able to level up their powers, but once a power is collected in a power book, it can't be upgraded anymore. The highest ranked ability Tang Mo has collected so far is Bai Ruoyao's, Mortal Final Death, level five.
"Have you ever seen one of those movies?"
Tang Mo froze and after a moment he said, "You mean, watching movies where humans play games and kill each other? I've seen a few, the most famous one, Saw, you haven't seen it?"
"I've heard that."
"That movie is about a very special villain who designs a lot of games ......"
Time passes. Tang Mo didn't realize that Fu Wenduo had seen so few movies, he hadn't seen Saw or any other movie of the same genre. In fact, Tang Mo has seen fewer movies of this kind, and he prefers reading books to movies.
Tang Mo patiently told Fu Wenduo about several similar movies, and in the end, Fu Wenduo said in a calm tone, "If that's really the case, the Black Tower is just a game that the aliens put on Earth. According to the endings of those movies, humanity should be wiped out in the end."
At that, Tang Mo let out a laugh: you really know how to apply what you've learned, you've even learned the Hollywood movie formula so quickly?
"Major Fu, how many levels of the Black Tower have you raided?"
Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo strangely: "Two layers."
Tang Mo nodded imploringly, "I see. Seeing that you have already reasoned out the final end of humanity, I thought you had already cleared the seventh level."
Fu Wenduo was silent for a moment and asked, "Is this a counter to my earlier comment about you being childish?"
Tang Mo did not even think of this aspect, he was stunned by the other party's wild thinking, and then immediately recalled what happened in the small warehouse earlier. If he didn't want to think about it, it was fine, but the moment he thought about it, he became embarrassed. Tang Mo coughed and turned around to stop talking.
Fu Wenduo, however, seemed to have sensed his thoughts as the corner of his mouth curled up and he deliberately said, "I do like men."
"Cough cough cough ......" Tang Mo almost choked on his own saliva. He turned to look at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo was very calm and did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he had just said at all. His dark eyes stared at Tang Mo's body, "If it is said that the person you like is a man is gay ...... Well, then it seems as if I am." His eyes were incomparably sincere, clearly speaking the truth.
Looking at his bland and sincere appearance, Tang Mo was first stunned, but gradually, his heart actually calmed down. Looking at this frank man in front of him, after a moment, he extended his hand. When Fu Wenduo saw Tang Mo suddenly extend his hand, he did not understand what he wanted to do. Then he saw this handsome youth smile slightly and say, "What a coincidence, me too."
Fu Wenduo's heart suddenly jerked violently.
After a long time, Fu Wenduo also extended his hand. Their hands clasped tightly together.
After a long while, Tang Mo thought, "Right, let's not talk to Xiao Sheng about this. It was hard to explain clearly to him just now that the two of us were replicating our powers. Besides, lest he misunderstand."
Fu Wenduo hadn't wanted his own brother to know that much either, "Well, there's no need to tell him."
Fu Wen, who was sleeping outside, said, "......".
Tang Mo is not a person who likes to talk about his personal affairs. He and Fu Wenduo have been in a team for three months and have only spoken twice. Once he handed over his bottom, and once he made his sexual orientation public. The latter was because Fu Wenduo had already confessed to him, and he wasn't going to hide it. But after saying that, Tang Mo did not intend to say anything more. Fu Wenduo, on the other hand, was still interested in his personal affairs.
"You have a boyfriend?"
Tang Mo : "...... "How is this exactly the same as what his mom and dad asked him when he first came out of the closet!
Tang Mo calmly counters, "You did?"
Fu Wenduo: "......"
Why would two single dogs want to hurt each other!
From the reaction of the single dog Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo could tell that this man really didn't seem to have had a boyfriend, and probably hadn't even been in love. He remembered a very famous storyline on the internet. It said that if a man was still a virgin after the age of twenty-five, he would become a magician and could possess magic power and cast magic.
He's only 23 years old, Fu Wenduo is 26. He's not a wizard yet, Fu Wenduo must be.
With this in mind, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo with a look that said, "Comrade, you've had a hard day." Fu Wenduo thought he was still thinking about what happened in the small warehouse, and he said, "I'm sorry."
Tang Mo froze, "?" What was the wizard doing apologizing to him.
Fu Wenduo Tone of sincerity: "Top to you."
Got you?
Topped what? Did something top him?
Tang Mo realized what this meant after half a day, then his face turned red and he stood up with a brush, "I'll go rest for a while as well." After saying this, without giving Fu Wenduo a chance to react, he turned around and opened the door, walked out of the office, and casually found a table to lie down on to rest.
Fu Wenduo froze for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Tang Mo was already gone. He looked at the young man lying upright on the desk outside the office, and the corner of his mouth lifted up. His long fingers gently stroked his chin, Fu Wenduo thoughtfully looked at Tang Mo's figure, repeating two words over and over again: "Tang Mo , Tang Mo , Tang Mo ......"
"...... grinding sugar."
"Is that you?"
Tang Mo also did not expect that he just wanted to avoid Fu Wenduo and find a reason to take a rest. I actually fell asleep.
The next morning, the rain stopped and Tang Mo and Fu Wen woke up. They did not see Fu Wenduo at the gas station, after Tang Mo found the small warehouse. When Fu Wenduo saw him, he calmly threw the cigarette in his fingers to the ground and stamped out the sparks with his foot.
The trio hit the road again.
According to Fu Wenduo's previously planned route, the headquarters of the Chosen Organization is in the Chaoyang District, and if they want to go to the Dongcheng District, they will have to make a detour from the Xicheng District to avoid the Chaoyang District. Fu Wenduo drove onto the Ring Road elevated road. Some vehicles crashed together and blocked the road. Tang Mo got out of the car and pushed the abandoned cars out of the way. After driving for about five hours, Fu Wenduo was about to turn off the elevated road and drive into Xicheng District when Tang Mo pressed down on the steering wheel: "Wait!"
Fu Wenduo's eyes cooled as he observed the movement around him, "What's going on?"
On the passenger seat, Tang Mo looked around carefully. Fu Wen in the backseat also tensed his body and stared carefully out the window. The car was still driving, but at a much slower speed. When the car passed a Wal-Mart supermarket, Tang Mo's eyes gazed at the huge blue billboard and suddenly spoke, "I found it! It's here!"
Fu Wenduo was first stunned, then he immediately understood. He quickly stepped on the brakes, and after an ear-splitting braking sound, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of this Walmart supermarket.
Tang Mo got out of the car and looked at the stores on both sides of the road and the subway exit. He closed his eyes and searched his brain for any remaining memories. The next moment, he opens his eyes and looks south. After standing still for a while, Tang Mo gets on the bus again.
Fu Wenduo asked, "Did you find your friend's home?" It was true that the three of them had their own purposes for coming to Beijing this time. Fu Wenduo was looking for clues related to the Black Tower, and Fu Xiaodi wanted to go home.
Fu Wenduo always remembers that Tang Mo came all the way to Beijing to find a friend.
Tang Mo breathed a soft sigh of relief and nodded, "Well, I found it, I think it's around here. I've been here before."
