Chapter 215: Stormy Mountain Resort~
Inside the dark cabin, only three thumps were heard, and a light suddenly came on, illuminating the room.
It was a long, narrow, wooden corridor, and the light shone dimly on the old, dark yellow wood trim. Tang Mo stood at the end of the line, he reached for the door, turned around and said, "It won't open."
Fu Wenduo and the others didn't object to his words, and Bai Ruoyao looked on with a smile on his face. A few players from the other districts gave Tang Mo a cold look, and one by one, they personally went up to check the door handle.
It really won't open.
None of the players had thought to open the door violently with props, and it was obvious that the Black Tower had locked them in. Everyone was vigilant in observing the players around them, and then walked forward along the corridor in turn. The whole corridor was silent, there was not a sound, Bai Ruoyao felt bored, and suddenly laughed.
Everyone immediately turned their heads in unison to look at him.
The doll face youth blinked his eyes, "Noah s dinner on the ark ...... ah, what exactly is this dinner. That flood just now was obviously Noah's bathwater, so Noah should be pretty tall." He gestured with his hands, "He was a giant? He wouldn't eat people then. My meat ain't good, Tangtang, want some of yours?"
Several players frowned in displeasure, and a burly blonde middle-aged man said coldly, "Shut up."
It wouldn't be Bai Ruoyao who could be shut up by his words.
Bai Ruoyao hummed a little song, the strong man was very dissatisfied, but did not dare to act rashly.
Those who can enter here are the best players in the world. They didn't know who Bai Ruoyao was, but this person was definitely very strong, and everyone knew that.
Tang Mo's eyes swept over these sixteen people one by one, in addition to Fu Wenduo and Mu Huixue, whom he had long recognized, there were two young men with oriental faces, a strong black woman, and nine white people. The nine whites were divided into five males and three females, except for Andre. Tang Mo's eyes slowly stopped and fixed on one of the white males.
The other party's sharp eyes swept towards him, Tang Mo immediately averted his eyes. He looked at Fu Wenduo, who shook his head.
Fu Wenduo: I hadn't seen this guy before Earth came online.
Tang Mo is silent for a moment.
This man, an old man.
When Earth came online, two groups of people were almost unconditionally eliminated from the Black Tower. One was children, and the other was the elderly. People like Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Voices are no longer considered children. Fu Wenduo is twelve years old and has the ability to defend himself. Children under the age of seven or eight are the real hardest hit, perhaps in the first Black Tower game, they all died.
The second is the elderly.
The elderly are already in poorer physical condition, and are far inferior to the young in terms of physical strength, speed and brain power. And although the elderly are experienced, they are quite out of touch with modern culture. In the aspect of playing games, they are generally inferior to young people.
Tang Mo had played so many Black Tower games, and had only seen one old man in the Monopoly game at the beginning; other than that, he hadn't seen a single Black Tower player over the age of sixty.
But the white male with gray hair and wrinkles in front of him was at least seventy years old.
"He could be very strong, stronger than everyone else." Tang Mo lowered his voice and spoke to Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo slowly narrowed his eyes and gave a soft "hmm".
The innate conditions were worse than others, yet he was able to survive until now and become the top player in the world. This old man was bound to be extremely strong.
The group was silent, walking with their heads down, each with their own thoughts in their minds. Everyone was quietly observing the other players, wanting to learn more information and find the team hidden among them. After walking for about five minutes, the black woman standing at the front stopped and turned around and said in English, "There's a door."
The crowd didn't say a word.
The black female said, "I'm opening the door."
There was no rebuttal, and she naturally took hold of the doorknob and gently opened the door.
The moment the gate opened, the black woman jumped back two steps, raising her own weapon defensively. The gate creaked open and instead of any enemies, a strange odor came from it.
Mu Huixue's nose twitched and he raised one eyebrow, "Bread?"
Bai Ruoyao's sniffling was much more of a motion, as he sucked in the air hard and then exhaled. Eyes glancing towards the door and seeing what was inside, Bai Ruoyao averted his eyes and blurted out, "Wow, there's the scent of tarts, cheese, and cream. Huh, what is this smell ...... my favorite red wine? The smell of Chateau Haut-Brion?"
Everyone spoke in English as a matter of course, without revealing their native language.
They enter the room cautiously, and Tang Mo looks around, his eyes narrowing.
It's a two-story castle.
Judging from the exterior of Noah's Ark, there was no way that such an ancient fortress could have been hidden in the great ship. Gothic stained shard glass, sharp black iron candlesticks with a single slender candle. Dozens of candles illuminated the lobby, in the center of which was a long table with gold-rimmed white porcelain tableware full of all kinds of delicate pastries and breads.
This ancient fortress should not be in the interior of a ship at all, but everyone knew that the corridor they had just walked for five minutes was also far longer than Noah's Ark should have been.
"Twelve chairs in all." A blonde foreign man said, "There are seventeen of us here."
The black female looked around for a moment, her eyes stopping at the center of the table, "There are seventeen little dolls instead."
At those words, everyone followed her gaze.
At the sight of these seventeen little wooden dolls, many people's faces changed slightly, obviously remembering a famous story. It was at this moment that an ear-splitting thunderclap suddenly resounded outside the ancient castle. There was no bright flash of lightning, but a rumble of thunder suddenly descended. Andre walked over to the window and looked out, "It's all darkness out there, there's nothing."
He had just finished speaking when there was another clap of thunder.
At this point, the Black Tower told a story in a clear child's voice--the
"When Noah lived to be six hundred years old, the Black Tower looked at the earth and realized that humans were full of sin, and all they thought about all their days was endless evil. Greedy humans loved to eat simple Black Tower monsters, flaying and devouring them; cunning humans always cheated the naive people of the earth and made them lose their homes."
"So the Black Tower said to Noah, build a ship, and take away the truly good human beings that are the true hope."
"Noah bowed respectfully to the Black Tower and prayed reverently-"
"O my almighty Black Tower, allow me to take a bath, eat, and then select the kindest humans for you to lead out of this sinful world."
The Black Tower told the story in an incomparably serious tone, and all the players listened to its words with different expressions on their faces.
Bai Ruoyao muttered in a low voice, "I wouldn't even dare to bullshit like that."
Black Tower: "All players are requested to assist Noah by preparing a one-point sumptuous dinner for Noah. Friendly reminder that there are sinful Black Tower monsters disguised as humans that have infiltrated the interior of the ark. Capture the monster and make its flesh and blood into a delicious barbecue, that is Noah's favorite food."
The story that had been told came to an end, and everyone who heard the words "Black Tower Monster disguised as a human" had their hearts clenched in their chests, and looked at the player standing next to them with skepticism.
The story finished, the Black Tower then announced in a clear, emotionless child's voice--
"Dingdong! Successfully triggered the main quest 'Noah's Dinner on the Ark'."
"Rules of the game--"
"First, a total of sixteen players managed to enter the game, and there was a Black Tower monster disguised as a human mixed in."
"Second, there were twelve rooms in Noah's Ark."
"Third, in Noah's ark, every two hours will be a day and two hours will be a night. During the daytime all players must all leave the room, and during the nighttime all players must enter the room, the door to which will be locked."
"Fourth, every night, three players can be recognized by the Black Tower and leave the room. The identities of the three players are hidden, and players in the same room may not know the identities of these three players."
"Fifth, the Black Tower monster's mission is to stop Noah from saving humanity; the human player's mission is to capture the monster, barbecue it, and give it to Noah."
"At the end of the sixth, seventh day and night, Noah will appear. If he can't eat the barbecued monsters, Noah will eat all humans."
"Seventh, at the last minute of each day, players may travel the right to vote, with each room possessing one vote, for an object they believe to be a monster. The object being voted on will be restricted and all powers and props will be unavailable."
"Eighth, all players in the game will have their powers restricted to varying degrees, with specific restrictions set by the Black Tower. All props may not be used."
"Noah thinks grilled monsters are delicious, and he also thinks humans are delicious. It's a beautiful thing to simply eat them all anyway."
"Rumble--"
Piercing thunder rumbled outside the window, shaking the entire castle slightly.
Tang Mo's line of sight slowly turned away and looked out the darkened window. He squeezed his fingers tightly and softly uttered five words, "...... Stormy Hills."
Meanwhile, China, Beijing.
Since Tang Mo and his team entered the game, the Chosen Organization has taken control of the black tower hovering over the Forbidden City, and Chen Shanshan, Li Miaomiao and the others have taken up temporary residence in a small building nearby. The first person to appear out of nowhere was Ning Zheng, who was covered in wounds and in a sorry state. Chen Shanshan was stunned when he saw him, and his eyes lingered on his long hair for a few seconds.
Fu Wen Sheng looked directly at Ning Zheng's chest, his eyes stared straight, and his little friend didn't hold back, "...... Crap!"
Ning Zheng's left leg had been bitten off by something and was bleeding, and his right hand was broken. He struggled to get up and leave, this place was very bad for him. Chen Shanshan several people did not stop him, after all, this is one of the most powerful stowaways in China, who knows whether Ning Zheng has any backhand, and they have no grudges.
Fu Wen Sheng probably felt that Ning Zheng was too badly hurt and in a sorry state, so he hesitated for a while and took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to the other party.
Ning Zheng gave him a look and took the water.
In a short while, Ning Zheng left the range of the Black Tower.
After another hour, Ruan Wangshu appeared below the Black Tower. He wasn't as lucky as Ning Zheng to be able to walk on his own. Using the king's gold to leave the game had taken all his strength, but luckily Li Miaomiao was there. Li Miaomiao rushed up to him and pressed her hand on Ruan Wangshu's wound to transfer it.
Fu Wen voice muttered: "What game is so difficult, Ning Zheng ...... er, that is Ning Zheng bar? And Ruan Wangshu, they all turned into this. How powerful of a Black Tower monster is this, the level of a Circus of Wonders ringmaster?"
That's a good guess, except the number is a little off.
It's six weird circus ringmaster level Black Tower monsters.
Shanghai, China.
Luo Fengcheng, who was wearing a white coat, sat on the black SUV and looked at the huge dark tower in the distance. When the Tang Mo few heard the Black Tower announce the rules of the game, they did not realize that, on Earth, the Black Tower had also sent out a notification -
"Dingdong! Official Europe 9 player David Conard failed the clearance."
"On June 18, 2018, 16 players from District 6 successfully entered the main game on the sixth floor of the Black Tower."
"Totaling 1 from East Asia, 1 from Southeast Asia, 1 from Russia, 2 from Europe, 4 from the United States, and 7 from China."
Jacks said doubtfully, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of game when so many players enter the main game together, Doctor. What kind of game is this, Smash? Melee? So many people were eliminated before the mainline mission even started." The sixth floor of the Black Tower is truly terrifying ......
Luo Fengcheng slightly hooked the corner of his lips, "Sixteen people ...... actually have a kind of game that is quite suitable."
Jacks wondered, "What game?"
Luo Fengcheng laughed, "Stormy Mountain Villa."
