Chapter 211: Happy reunion of old friends~
"Ding Dong! Welcome to Noah's Fun Labyrinth!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Tang Mo's face paled and he quickly turned his head to avoid a black object that was shooting towards him. The object grazed his scalp and flew straight into the wall behind him. Tang Mo looked up at the guy who shot the concealed weapon at him, but there was no one in front of him.
It's a quiet, narrow corridor, dimly lit, and you can only see about three meters around you.
Tang Mo looks around and whispers, "Fu Wenduo?" The sound reverberates between the walls, creating an echo that returns to Tang Mo's ears.
Tang Mo's heart sank.
It is surprising that he was not assigned with Fu Wenduo!
In all of the Tower Attack games, as long as the players are in a confirmed group, they are usually assigned to the same position, or at least a camp. For example, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were assigned to be Underlander Customs Officers last time, and Chen Shanshan was not with them, but was tasked with assisting them in clearing customs.
Tang Mo turns around and walks over to the wall, taking down the concealed weapon pinned to the wall. The quadrangular shaped boomerang dart was glowing with a dark color, Tang Mo observed it for a moment and put the object into his pocket. After confirming that no one is around, he takes out a white Huo Ji egg from his pocket and gently knocks it three times.
"Tang Mo."
"Fu Wenduo." After a pause, Tang Mo said, "Where are you?"
Fu Wenduo didn't say anything, he just said, "A black corridor, or rather, this should be a maze, Noah's Rakugo maze. There's a left-turn exit ahead of this corridor, which I'm currently not walking through. Where are you?"
"It's the exact same hallway too." Tang Mo spilled the beans about how he had just been sneak attacked by a dart.
Fu Wenduo's heart sank, "Have you found the sneak attacker?"
Tang Mo: "No."
Fu Wenduo : "We entered the game as a group, the Black Tower won't separate us too far, we should be in the same area. Since this is a labyrinth, the path between the two of us must be clear and not too long. You stand still and don't move, I'll come to you. Be careful, hide in a safe place and don't move, the other party will likely sneak up on you again."
Tang Mo puts the glowing blue Huo Ji egg in his pocket, his back pressed against the maze wall, he sits down smoothly and hunkers down in the corner as much as he can to hide himself. He lowered his voice, "How did you find me?"
Fu Wenduo: "Troy's Trojan Horse."
The dark labyrinth was dead silent, not a single sound could be heard. Tang Mo's hand was pressed on the handle of Yang San's umbrella, and his eyes were staring coldly at the exit of the corridor he was in. He was at a dead end of the labyrinth, the only way out was the one in front of him, and anyone else who wanted to come in could only come in through here.
Tang Mo waited quietly for a few moments, and after he was sure that the guy who had sneaked up on him with the darts wasn't there, he zipped up his shirt, turned around and started climbing the wall with his bare hands.
One fatal flaw of all mazes is that by climbing high, you can look down on all of the maze's terrain.
The walls of this labyrinth are not very high, only three meters. The walls are smooth, but Tang Mo is so agile that he lightly stomps on them and reaches the top in two strokes. However, just as he reaches for the wall and tries to climb it, an invisible wall suddenly blocks his way. Tang Mo dropped back to the ground, braced his hands on the ground, and looked up into the sky.
"Ding Dong! Noah's Fun Labyrinth, climbing the walls is prohibited, please play by the rules."
Tang Mo didn't try again.
In the darkness, the sounds of breathing and heartbeats are especially noticeable. Tang Mo minimized his presence as much as possible. Gradually, a faint sound of footsteps came from the other side of the wall. Tang Mo's eyes narrowed, his left hand pressed on the match tattoo on his right wrist, and his entire body pressed against the wall, hiding himself in the shadows.
The man came closer and closer, and just as the other man turned a corner and stepped into this corridor, Tang Mo flipped his hand and took out a large match, smashing it into the other man without hesitation.
The huge match head slammed straight into the man's skull, Fu Wenduo side-stepped and back-flipped to avoid the blow. The light was too dim for both sides to see each other clearly. Tang Mo's match does not slow down, and smashes at the man again. Fu Wenduo's right hand moves, transforming into a black, three-pronged weapon.
The match collided with the sharp weapon, making a fierce clash. The powerful aftershock caused Tang Mo's forefinger and forearm to ache, and Fu Wenduo grabbed the handle of the match with one hand and pulled Tang Mo's wrist with the other. The two men look up at each other, their eyes meeting in the air.
Staring wordlessly for a second, Tang Mo asked, "Where's Troy the Trojan? I didn't hear it." That's why he thought the visitor was not Fu Wenduo, but an unknown enemy.
"It's a little loud when it walks on the ground. To prevent it from being heard, I keep it in my pocket and only take it out when I hit a fork in the road."
Fu Wenduo takes a small yellow wooden horse out of his pocket. It is placed in his pocket, but even so, its four feet continue to flap in the air. Fu Wenduo shoves the horse into Tang Mo's hand, and it finally stops running around. The wooden back of the horse clicks open and a note pops out.
Tang Mo took it away and the corner of her mouth slightly hooked, "...... Ground sugar."
Only on this narrow piece of white paper, the words Ground Sugar were clearly written. Tang Mo stuffed this piece of paper back into the body of the wooden horse.
Now it was Fu Wenduo's turn to point at a human-shaped black shadow on the ground not far away and asked, "What is that?" Just now, Fu Wenduo thought that it was Tang Mo sitting on the ground, and that was why he was not on guard and was successfully attacked by Tang Mo.
"Something that fools people." After a pause, Tang Mo laughed, "Did it fool you?"
As she speaks, Tang Mo walks over to where Fu Wenduo is pointing and removes the "dummy" she has created with her clothes and backpack. Five minutes ago, Tang Mo stuffed his backpack into his jacket and pulled down his pants. The two pieces of clothing were placed against the wall to create a false person against the wall to confuse the enemy.
Fu Wenduo did not reply. He then realized that Tang Mo had two bare legs and was putting on his pants.
The jacket can be taken off and used as a trap, but the pants Tang Mo is only wearing one pair, so he has to take them off in order to confuse the enemy. After putting on his clothes, Tang Mo put on his backpack, he looked up and realized that Fu Wenduo was still staring at the place where he had just put the dummy.
Tang Mo: "What are you looking at?"
Fu Wenduo gave him a look, "Luckily I found you first."
Tang Mo immediately understood and let out a laugh, "It's not like he hasn't seen it before."
Without further ado, the two moved to leave this corridor.
This corridor was very long, about twenty meters in length, Fu Wenduo said, "When I entered the labyrinth, I was also in a corridor this long. But after leaving the corridor, the labyrinth outside is quite normal, and there is no longer such a long passage."
Tang Mo also stated the information he found, "The wall is three meters high, and when I tried, I couldn't jump onto it. Although no attempts have been made, I presume that this wall, which looks like it would be easy to break, is also protected by the Black Tower and cannot be destroyed."
Fu Wenduo: "Who was it that attacked you?"
Tang Mo was silent: "There are only two kinds."
The two men looked at each other.
Fu Wenduo: "The Black Tower Monster."
Tang Mo : "Or ...... human players."
Tang Mo took out the dart and handed it to Fu Wenduo. After observing it, Fu Wenduo said, "It's just a very ordinary dart, made of iron, not a prop. This kind of dart is very common, it's hard to say if it's something from the Black Tower Monster or something from humans." After a pause, he looked at Tang Mo : "What do you think it is?"
Tang Mo's psychic mind always has a 10% increase in accuracy when making speculations.
Tang Mo's eyes were deep, and he said directly back, "Human."
The moment the words fell, suddenly, a strange and dull musical sound rang out. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo immediately looked up into the dark sky. Hundreds of loud and brittle children's voices suddenly sang in unison-
"La-la-la-la, Monday."
"There's an underground man, into the Great Maze."
"La-la-la-la, Tuesday."
"There's a little monster that slips into the big maze."
"La-la-la-la, Wednesday ......"
......
"La-la-la-la, Sunday."
"The humans want to leave the Great Maze. Noah says there is only one way out of the maze."
The voice ended abruptly, and when it sounded again, it turned into a low, horrible, coarse, male voice--
"No, no, no one gets out of the maze!"
The music stopped and the Black Tower's stiff mechanical voice prompted, "Dingdong! Trigger side quest one: leave Noah's labyrinth."
Meanwhile, Earth.
When the black tower prompted 30 players to enter the tower attack game on the sixth floor of the black tower, many players who were quite intentional and had long been ambushed near the black tower stepped out of the shadows and found a closer, hidden position, staring vigilantly at the giant tower.
Shanghai, China.
After Luo Feng Cheng heard about the sudden death of the tower attacking player in the West Asia District, he directly asked Jacks to drive the car, and together with Tang Qiao, the three of them headed to the black tower that was hovering above Nanjing Road.
Jacks : "Doctor, what the hell is going on. The Black Tower has never released information about the players who attacked the tower before, so why is this happening all of a sudden. This is still a global notification. And that person is dead, what does it have to do with us?"
The death of a player in the West Asia region is heard by humans all over the world. So if players from other regions die, could it be that all the players from other regions know about it as well?
Yes, failure to attack the tower has only one outcome: death.
If you escape from the Black Tower using a prop like the King's Gold before failing the attack on the tower, it doesn't count as failing the attack on the tower, it only counts as abandoning the attack on the tower. But the black tower said he failed, so he was dead in the game. Not even a chance to use a rare prop to escape.
Jacks scratched his head: ''That's a powerful Black Tower sixth level player, he must have life preserving props. What can actually kill him so quickly, without giving him any life ...... ah, it can't be that the Black Tower killed him? He violated the rules of the game?"
Tang Qiao looks to Luo Fengcheng, "Doctor, did a human kill him?"
Hearing these words, Luo Fengcheng's body gave a start as he slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Qiao.This woman had a deep scar on her face at some point.If there were props with healing effects, this scar could have been completely removed.This woman's face had a deep scar on it at some point, and if there were props with healing effects, this scar could have been completely removed. But she didn't use it, letting the ugly scar straddle her face, as if reminding her of the cruelty of the Black Tower game.
Luo Feng Cheng: "To be able to kill a high-level player at the sixth level of the Black Tower in such a short period of time, even if it's Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo, even if it's Mu Huixue, I don't think they can do it."
Jacks : "So it's the Black Tower Monster. The sixth floor is really scary, there is actually such a powerful Black Tower Monster, fortunately I listened to you, Doctor, and didn't attack the tower." The foreign man breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Qiao, however, frowned and carefully asked the Doctor, "Is it really that simple ......"
At the same moment, China, Beijing.
Li Miaomiao skimmed his lips, "Such a strong Black Tower monster killed the Tier 6 players in one shot? Head and Yu Zheng will be fine."
Fu Xiaodi was also worried, "Big Brother and Tang are fine, right? They're so strong."
"Is it just the Black Tower Monster."
Both of them turned their heads in unison, looking at the short-haired girl.
Chen Shanshan could only be seen raising her head and looking up at the huge dark tower. Her voice was calm, "The Black Tower publicized the player elimination information to the world, and for the first time, it clearly presented the number of players in each zone. This absolute fairness means that in the Black Tower's opinion, the difficulty of the game that all players participate in is absolutely the same, otherwise it wouldn't have publicized the elimination of players from the West Asia Zone. This is because if the difficulty of the game is different, it would be unfair for the eliminated players in the West Asia Zone to be announced globally."
Fu Wen Sheng: "So they play at the same difficulty level?"
Chen Shanshan : "It's not the same, it's absolutely the same."
Fu Wen Sheng widened his eyes, "You mean ......"
"They are involved in, perhaps, the same game." Chen Shanshan's fingers were clenched tightly, "I'm now very worried that Brother Tang Mo and the others are in the game, can they hear the sound of the Black Tower global briefing outside. If they can't hear it, then do they know or not that the 30 ......29 Tier 6 level players around the world are now in the same game as them?"
In a labyrinth of darkness.
Tang Mo holds Little Yang San in his hands and walks with Fu Wenduo through one fork in the road after another. Whenever there is a fork in the road, Tang Mo will let Fu Wenduo choose, as he trusts Fu Wenduo's luck.
Halfway there, Tang Mo stops and listens for a moment.
"Did you hear the water?"
Fu Wenduo stops and listens for a moment, "Seems like a bit?"
It was a very faint sound of running water, as if someone had left the faucet open, and a very thin stream of water flowed downward, crashing into the pool.
Tang Mo looked around, trying to find the sound of the water, and was in the middle of it when he heard a familiar clattering footstep. Sort of like the sound of high heels on the ground, with an additional, more crunchy thumping sound. It was as if someone was walking and kept hitting the ground with a very thin object.
The voice came closer and closer, from the other side of the wall, to the fork in the road in front of the two Tang Mo men.
As soon as the voice appeared, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo pressed themselves against the wall, holding their breath without making a sound. They looked at each other with wide eyes and said the name in their minds at the same time.
The owner of the footsteps didn't seem to notice the Tang Mo duo hiding on this side of the fork in the road, as he leaned on his crutches, pressed his crimson bowler hat with one hand, and headed toward another fork in the road.
As the footsteps drifted away, both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the two were about to regain their breath, a gentle laughter sounded from behind them.
The two men brushed their heads and turned to look.
Leaning against the smooth labyrinth walls, the circus leader removed his bowler hat and gave them a slight smile and a gentleman's salute. He laughed, "It has been a long time, official player Tang Mo, stowaway ...... oh no, I'm sorry to be rude, it's reserve Fu Wenduo.It is truly my good fortune to see you here. May I ask ...... if I have the honor to take your heads?"
The gentlemanly smile on Grea's face didn't change even as he said such horrible things.
Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and took out a big match with his hand, and ignited the match with a light, and the burning match hit Grea with a loud bang. Grea sidestepped the blow, and laughed lightly, and was about to open his mouth, when he looked up and saw that Tang Mo had already put away the big match, and Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo had already turned their heads to run away, with no intention to fight with him at all.
Grea: "......"
The gentle smile froze for a moment, and Grea's eyes curled up at the corners of her mouth in an icy glare, her slender cane propped up against the wall, and her whole body darted after her.
On the other side, the doll-faced youth had his hands in his pockets, smiling as he strolled through the maze in a very leisurely manner.
One thing Tang Mo doesn't know is that Bai Ruoyao's physical condition is extremely high, no worse than Fu Wenduo's, but his sense of smell is terrible. He could hardly smell anything.
Bai Ruoyao leisurely strolled through the labyrinth, turning left and right from time to time, with no intention at all of deliberately searching for an exit, or perhaps he was a great believer in his nickname: Lucky Yao. He was lucky enough, so even if he wandered around, he would definitely be able to get out.
Turning casually to the left again, Bai Ruoyao hummed an off-key tune and walked into a long, narrow corridor. He had just taken two steps when his footsteps stopped violently. At the end of the corridor, the wolf grandmother who was devouring human flesh and blood suddenly raised her head, her green pupils staring straight at Bai Ruoyao.
One man and one wolf looked at each other briefly for a moment.
Bai Ruoyao smiled cheekily and said, "Go on, I went the wrong way, see you next time."
Bai Ruoyao turned away leisurely, his steps unhurried. Behind him, blood wet the ground and stained Granny Wolf's little pink dress. With strands of blonde hair and white human flesh caught in her sharp teeth, she stares at Bai Ruoyao without blinking, watching him step by step as he leaves.
Just as Bai Ruoyao was about to leave this corridor, a raspy, greedy laugh sounded from behind him, "Heh heh heh heh, that's why I love Noah's labyrinth the most, I can always find lost little lambs here."
The sound of breaking wind rang out at the same time as the words fell.
The smile on Bai Ruoyao's face disappeared completely.
"...... Shit!"
