Nineteen million.

As night falls, darkness invades the land. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo flew off the road with the girl's body and found an unassuming house to settle in. They didn't see a single person along the way. There weren't many surviving players in Beijing, so it was normal to walk for five minutes without seeing a single person. However, this time, it was as if someone had pressed the stop button, and the whole city was completely silent.

The great city was an empty one, with less than a hundred people not being forced to attack the Tower Game.

The same is happening across the globe.

The players who remain on Earth are in the minority. Only players who have attacked a tower within three months, or participated in the Endbringer Sweeps game and won, are exempt from being forced to attack a tower.

As the night wore on, Tang Mo looked out the window at the dark sky and turned on his flashlight to illuminate the body.

They checked the props and weapons on the girl. An ordinary kitchen knife, a police gun, and three rounds of ammunition. The girl only had a strange looking stone prop, Tang Mo read the prop's description, this stone could increase the player's running speed for a short period of time, however it could only be used three times, and it had already been used twice.

Finally they re-examined the girl's cause of death.

Just like Fu Wenduo's hasty examination earlier, it was stabbed through the heart and killed with a single blow. It's a human technique, not like the Black Tower Monster.

Tang Mo handed the stone to Fu Wen Sheng. This kind of prop was not very useful to him, and it was more useful to give it to the children. He looked up to Fu Wenduo , his face heavy: "This is the second victim. This time when we saw her, she was still alive, but the murderer has disappeared. There are two possibilities, first, she did participate in the Black Tower Game, only to be thrown out of the Black Tower before she was even dead, and returned to Earth; second, she was killed on Earth."

Fu Wenduo looked steadily at Tang Mo: "The second."

Tang Mo also knew that the possibility of the first one was extremely low, he said, "Then there is only one problem ...... The person who killed her is either stronger than you, or at least faster than you, able to escape a second before you arrived, and also escaped without a trace. Either he possesses very special psychic abilities, or props," after a pause, Tang Mo said that answer, "He can be 'invisible'."

Fu Wenduo suddenly asked, "Which one do you think it is."

Tang Mo froze. He looked into Fu Wenduo's eyes, and the two of them stared at each other in silence. Fu Wenduo had already guessed that Tang Mo possessed some kind of intelligent psychic ability. Tang Mo did not go into detail about Chen Shanshan's psychic ability, but when it came to judgmental issues, he would always make guesses with his "super-intelligent thinking".

Tang Mo thought intently for a moment and said seriously, "I think neither."

"That's what."

Fu Xiaodi listened on the side, also thinking. Without waiting for Tang Mo to answer, he suddenly spoke, "Will it be related to that Mu Hui?"

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo both turned their heads to look at him.

Fu Wen vocally explained, ''Big Brother, Brother Tang, look. The Invisible Killer appeared after the Black Tower had an update error, and the timing is a bit coincidental. It wasn't there before, but now that it suddenly appeared, it's very likely that it's related to that update error. Of course, it's also possible that there really is an invisible person who has been following us, but doesn't lay a hand on us, instead always killing people around us instead ......" Towards the end, Fu Wen Sound himself felt that this was unlikely.

An invisible enemy has been updating Tang Mo's trio since a week ago, and he never attacks Tang Mo's trio, but instead kills players passing by. Finally, when Tang Mo and his team arrive, he escapes immediately. What's the point of him doing this? Is he trying to show off his special escape skills?

Fu Wen gave his thoughts and he thought Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo would discuss it further, but who would have guessed that after listening to him, Tang Mo slowly sank in color and Fu Wenduo stopped talking. The child thought that he had said something wrong, but on second thought he realized that if what he had said was true, then the matter was very complicated.

The appearance of the Invisible Man is linked to the mysterious version 4.0 of the Black Tower.

Invisible enemies are the most dangerous enemies. Does it mean that when the Black Tower 4.0 update is released, human players will encounter such invisible enemies and fight them?

Thinking of this, Fu Wen voice trembled. The children scrunched their necks, not thinking about such a horrible thing.

It's a grocery store, and Tang Mo takes a tablecloth off the shelf and covers the girl. The trio rested here for the night.

Early the next morning, Tang Mo opens his eyes and walks to the window. He looked up at the black tower not far away and counted the numbers on it.

"26813231"

Whispering the number in silence, Tang Mo squeezed her fingers together and repeated the number she'd seen last night.

Almost a million and a half less.

The Black Tower didn't explain this string of eight digits, but the first time they saw it all the players probably guessed that it was either the number of players who were forced to attack the tower, or the total number of surviving players on Earth. A month ago Xiao Jitong told Tang Mo that there were about 20,000 players left in NJ. Nanking had a population of about ten million before the planet went online, so by the same ratio, the surviving humans on the planet would be twenty million.

"More than a hundred less in ten seconds, a million and a half less after one night ......"

"Most of the players who are forced to attack the tower are people who have never played a tower attack game." A low male voice sounded from behind Tang Mo, and he turned his head to look. Fu Wenduo walked over to the window, similarly looking at the heavy black tower, and said indifferently, "The first three days are the peak of the sharp decrease in numbers, and after three days, the rate at which the numbers decrease drops."

It's superior.

Weak players simply couldn't last more than a few days, they would simply fall at the beginning of the Tower Attack game, and most likely wouldn't even be able to open the main quest. However, after three days, it proved that the player had a certain strength and was at least able to open the main quest, so there was a hope of passing the Tower Attack game.

Tang Mo turned away his eyes and his voice was calm, "The real period of sharp decline should be 12 hours to 24 hours after entering the tower attack game." This was his experience from three tower attacks. Tower Attack game was different from other copy games, there would usually be one or more side quests, and completing the side quests would open the main quests. if you couldn't open the main quests within 24 hours, eight out of ten | nine of them would never be opened again.

Fu Wenduo was about to say something when he heard this, but suddenly, his gaze froze.

Tang Mo also slowly opened her eyes wide and stared dead at the black tower.

Only to see the huge black tower suspended in mid-air, the brilliant sunlight shone on the pitch-black tower, and in the center of the black tower, the white eight-digit number was constantly jumping. However, this time the numbers jumped not in units of ten, nor in units of a hundred, its ten thousand digits were constantly changing!

In one minute, the number changed to: 26381314.

Ten minutes later, the number changed to: 24913421.

An hour later, the first digit dropped completely down 2 to 1.

On Earth, players who didn't have to play the tower attack game also found a safe place at this moment to gaze at this silent change in numbers. There was no blood, no gunfire, just the simplest and most intangible number decreasing. However, in this one hour of gazing, ten million people had disappeared into that cold black tower without a sound.

Red Square, Moscow, Russia.

In the snowy sky, a man as strong as a bear, wrapped in a thick coat, turned away without looking back after seeing the number fall 2.

Beijing, the 80th Middle School.

Practicing Yu Zheng sits in the hallway of her senior classroom, as if she is not afraid that she will fall, sitting on the edge of the handrail, watching the numbers diminish with no change in her expression.

NJ, New NJ Group.

Xiao Jitong stopped looking at the number when it hit twenty-five million, but Ningning stayed under the Black Tower, clutching her crossbow. She tilts her head, watching in silence, not saying a word.

Shanghai, Atak Organization.

Last month Luo Fengcheng had all the players in the organization who had never attacked a tower enter the Black Tower to complete their own tower attack game. He had already turned into a full-fledged player and found his special ability. Since last night, only the members of the Atack Organization were left in this mall, as well as two Black Tower Tier 1 players.

Luo Fengcheng was sitting in his office without bothering about what was going on outside when suddenly his door was pushed open.

Jacks came rushing in, gasping for breath and unable to speak. The ordinary looking girl with short hair was sitting aside reading a book, seeing this situation, Chen Shanshan poured a glass of water and handed it to Jacks. she asked, "Was someone killed by the invisible man again, Jacks?"

Jacks nodded and then shook his head vigorously.

Luo Fengcheng narrowed his eyes, "What's the situation?"

Jacks finally caught his breath after drinking the water, his Chinese had become very fluent in the past six months, and he quickly said, "Yes, another body was found that was killed by the invisible man. But this time, ahem ...... not, not this time, what I want to say is not about this matter. Dr. Lowe, it's the numbers that have changed! The numbers on the Black Tower you said yesterday should be the total number of surviving players, over twenty-eight million. Just now, just now there are only nineteen million left!"

Luo Fengcheng was suddenly stunned.

Chen Shanshan's hand froze in mid-air as he accepted the cup.

After a few moments, Luo Fengcheng murmured in a low voice: "Did it come so fast ......" He didn't say anything else and took out a thick stack of information from the drawer. He read the information in detail before handing it to Jacks and calmly said: ''Find a chance to go to Beijing and look for Tang Mo and Major Fu.This matter is not a small one and no player in Shanghai can solve it.Shanshan, you go along with us. Shanshan, you go along too. They need your psychic abilities."

Meanwhile, Suzhou, Guanqian Street.

Two tall foreign men walked down the empty shopping street, looking boredly at the deserted stores on either side.

They walked for ten minutes without seeing anyone. The blonde man finally couldn't help but curse "Fuck" angrily, and then angrily said: "Where is everyone? Why is there no one left? Have they killed everyone by now. Damn it, I only have 56 minutes of rest time left, how come there are no meat pigs."

The brown-haired man to the side grunted, "The next break belongs to me."

The blonde man said disdainfully, "Can you find a meat pig, my dear David?"

As soon as the words left their mouths, the two men moved. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the movements around them, and suddenly, the blonde man raised his head and slowly hooked his lips. A wacky and crazy smile gradually appeared on this handsome and profound face, as if he was a madman who hadn't been bored of eating for three days and suddenly saw food, his eyes lit up as he stared dead at the second floor of a specialty store.

The middle-aged man hiding on the second floor was so scared that he rushed away from the window, shivering nervously, "What is it, what are those two ......" Before he could finish his words, a black shadow flashed past his eyes. The last thing the middle-aged man saw before he died was a strand of blonde hair, and his head slipped from his neck, and in his ears he seemed to be able to hear the angry roar of the brown-haired man-

"Fuck you! Pitt, this break is mine, and you're fucking stealing my time again!"

The head slowly fell to the ground, and everything happened in just a second. This middle-aged player who had already cleared the first floor of the Black Tower could never have imagined that the difference in strength between the two sides would actually be this great. His head slowly rolled to the ground, his eyes staring straight at the blonde man's right hand. On that right hand, there was a rough string of red onyx bracelet.

The brown-haired man roared and slammed his fist into the blonde, who playfully ducked.

Half a minute later, the two figures disappeared into the room, leaving only the middle-aged man's already-cold body.
