Chapter 226: A lady's tears sometimes make her more beautiful.

"The Tower of the Beginning, the Tower of Parallel Intersections."

Tang Mo took the chalk and wrote these twelve words on the blackboard of the classroom.

This is the line written on the back of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's red ticket.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had not yet left Noah's Ark and were still in the Black Tower game. Without the sudden treasure hunt on the seventh floor of the Black Tower, this clue was very strange and completely confusing. So when they saw it, both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were surprised.

"Now it seems that the clue is actually hinting at the location of the Black Tower of Treasure."

Practicing Yu Zheng : "What is the Tower of the Beginning of All Things?"

The beginning of all things, the origin of all things.

A year ago, the Black Towers appeared suddenly, overnight, over all parts of the globe. They appeared together, there was no first tower and no last tower to separate them. So which is the initial tower of all things?

Tang Mo mused, "It can't be the first Black Tower to descend in the first place. There is no order of descent of the Black Tower."

The crowd pondered for a moment, and soon, Tang Mo, Chen Shanshan and Mu Huixue turned their heads to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo looked at the words on the blackboard, his voice calm: "There are two black towers in Beijing, one above the Forbidden City and one in Changping. I was notified to prepare for the mandatory tower attack near the black tower in Changping, the initial tower of all things, the black tower. Of course, I later entered the tower game near the Forbidden City. So I'm not sure exactly which one."

The initialization of all things is the first meaning to appear.

But the Beginning of All Things can also be the one who was the first to open the Tower Attack game and was briefed three times globally by the Black Tower, specifically singing for thanks.

Huaxia's number one player Fu Wenduo , the world's most powerful stowaway.

On November 23, 2017, he became the world's first player to attack the tower by himself, and pulled all Chinese players down. On the same day, he cleared the first floor of the Black Tower by himself, becoming the first player in the world to clear a tower attack game.

This is the beginning of all things.

Tang Mo mused, "Let's check out the Changping District first, then go to the Forbidden City."

Finding the first tower, the crowd was in no hurry. They needed to get more information and couldn't act recklessly.

Chen Shanshan analyzed, "The initial of all things refers to the tower that is the first to pass the first floor of the black tower, coincidentally, that tower is very close to us, as long as we go to take a look to know if it is or not, it is easy to verify. That parallel intersection ......" Before the words were finished, the little girl suddenly realized something, turned her head, and looked at Mu Huixue.

The young woman with a high ponytail smiled faintly and said helplessly, "Area 3 of China, Guangzhou."

On March 27, 2018, Mu Huixue, the first place in the Time Rankings and a Returner in Huaxia 3, successfully cleared the fourth floor of the Black Tower and opened the Black Tower 4.0 version. From that moment on, the Returner returned to Earth because she could, and the two worlds intersected.

If it all started with Fu Wenduo's tower attack, the fusion of the two worlds is Mu Huixue's tower attack.

This is parallel intersection.

Tang Mo : "Unsurprisingly, out of the five black towers, these two should be confirmed. If there is a mistake, we can always verify and correct it. Unfortunately, one of the three clues was obtained by Li Xia, and we don't know what clue she got. But there is one more clue." Tang Mo raised her head and looked at Mu Huixue and Andre : "What clue did you get that also hints at the location of the hidden treasure black tower?"

Andre's eyes flickered, and the rough, strong, Russian hulk gave Mu Huixue a silent look as he turned and left the classroom without speaking. His departure was so sudden that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's brows furrowed, sensing a hint of something wrong. They looked at Mu Huixue again, only to see this bright woman helplessly spreading her hands and smiling, "This clue is kinda complicated, it's not very convenient to talk about it, but I assure you that it has nothing to do with the location of the Black Pagoda of Treasure."

Fu Wenduo fell silent and said, "There are no clues like ours that hint at where the Black Tower is located?"

Mu Huixue: "No."

Her tone was sure, her gaze calm.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo gazed at her silently, and after a moment, Fu Wenduo turned his eyes away, "Good. Then let's go see that black tower in the Changping District first."

Although they had only known Mu Huixue for a short time, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo both chose to trust her.

This powerful returnee has some kind of special power, and after spending time with her you realize that she may not be a good person in the pure sense of the word, but she is certainly a good teammate, a trustworthy teammate. This is reflected in the game of Noah's Ark.

Without delay, the group packed up and prepared to check out the neighborhood of that black tower in Beijing's Changping district.

Tang Mo said, "If there is still time, maybe we need to make another trip to Guangzhou. We already know that the second Black Tower is in Guangzhou." He looked at Mu Huixue, who then said, "It's next to the center of Guangzhou. Let's raid that Black Tower in Changping as early as possible. I don't know much about the average level of players in Guangzhou, and I didn't really stay there for very long, but when I was there, a few of the most powerful player organizations in Guangzhou had sent people to secretly follow me. I fought with them, and my strength was okay, but at most, I was at the level of a player at the fourth level of the Black Tower. I mean, it's at most at the fourth or fifth layer level now."

The level of the fourth or fifth level of the Black Tower was definitely the best when placed among global players. But this was a tower attack game at the seventh level of the Black Tower.

Even Tang Mo is not sure that he can succeed in his strategy, and others are even less sure.

Ruan Wangshu looked at the time: "To ensure the success of the tower attack, Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo, Mu Huixue, and ......" He was going to say Andre, but realized that Andre had left the classroom a long time ago and had not returned. He was about to say Andre, but realized that Andre had left the classroom a long time ago and had not returned. After a pause in his voice, Ruan Wangshu continued, "You guys go to Changping District to take a look, and I'll go to Guangzhou with Chosen's people, practicing Yu Zheng and Li Miaomiao. We will attack the tower together on both sides."

Tang Mo nodded and said, "You can go by way of Shanghai. The Shanghai Atark Organization is a friend of Fu Wenduo and I, and they have a few more powerful players among them. You can work together and go to Guangzhou to see if you can raid that Black Tower."

Ruan Wangshu nods in agreement.

The two sides talked it over and decided to split up.

Mu Huixue glanced back, "Andre, that guy finally left?"

Russian gamer Andre has been pestering Mu Huixue since half a month ago, trying to kill her all the time. But after working together on a few Black Tower games, Andre stopped talking about killing Mu Huixue. Especially when he inadvertently learned from Tang Mo that Mu Huixue became the No. 1 in the time rankings not because she killed so many people, but because she killed the previous No. 1 and resurrected a person. He said even less about it.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo wanted to raid the seventh floor of the Black Tower because they didn't want to sit around and wait for death.

Game Rule #2: The black towers that are erased are completely randomized. The five Black Towers, except for those within the content of the game, are recognized as erased at the end of the game.

If they guessed correctly that the black tower in Beijing's Changping District was one of the five black towers, then as long as they stayed in the Changping District, they could survive at least seven days, and only on the last day would this black tower be erased.

It's not incomprehensible that Andre doesn't want to attack the tower.

Tang Mo said, "How many of us will go first?"

Mu Huixue thought for a moment, "I'll go look for it. Don't look at him like that, he has very good hands, no worse than Major Fu. Andre is very strong, I mean in terms of force."

Fu Wenduo : "Then we'll go ahead and see you in Changping."

"Good."

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo left the Chosen Base first. Mu Huixue searched the school for a while and soon found Andre sitting by the basketball court by the playground.

For the more than three million Earth players who have spent eight months in the Black Tower game, it's June 19th. But for Earth, it's November 18, 2017, now.

From the first time I saw Andre, he was wearing this heavy fur coat. The gray fox fur buried most of his face, coupled with the thick beard and felt hat, the only thing he exposed was a pair of eyes. No one would have guessed that this rough and tall Russian player actually had a pair of clear light green eyes, which were quietly looking at the center of the basketball court at this moment.

Mu Huixue held his arms in his hands, leaning against the basketball hoop, raising one eyebrow, "Going to Changping? Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo all went."

Andre slowly lifted his head to look at her. After a long moment, he said, "How many people have you killed, total, since Earth came online."

Alone with Mu Huixue, Andre speaks Russian. Instead of the weird and funny Chinese, the Russian player speaks Russian in a rough, hushed voice that seems to resonate in his chest.

Mu Huixue said, "All?"

"Well, all."

Mu Huixue recalled, "Seventy-eight."

Andre was suddenly silent. After a moment, he said, "I just made a bet with myself that if you kill more than 91 people, I won't hesitate to kill you and resurrect Valentina."

This was the first time Mu Huixue had heard the name, and it turned out that this was the person Andre wanted to resurrect. She said, "Your wife?"

Andre shook his head and pulled a photograph out of his fur coat. The edges of the photo were yellowed and wrinkled, but it was clean. It was obvious that its owner had loved the photo too much to break it, but couldn't help but take it out and look at it over and over again.

From Russia to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Russia.

On this trip alone, Andre saw it 264 times.

Mu Huixue had good eyesight, and as soon as she looked down, she saw the middle-aged woman with a very cheerful smile and a little gray-haired girl she was holding in the photo. The woman was slightly blonde, with some light brown freckles on her skin, but she was smiling very happily, without a trace of worry, and her happiness was piercing.

She was holding the girl, and a tall, handsome middle-aged man was holding her around the waist.

Those clear green eyes hinted at the middle-aged man's identity.

Looking at the photo, Mu Huixue laughed, "So you look like this."

She was lightening the mood, Andre said, "Valentina's birthday is September 1st. Her mother begged me before she died that I must protect her. But I didn't, she was pulled into a game alone by the Black Tower and never came out. If you kill thirteen more people, Mu Huixue, I will definitely kill you and fight as hard as I can to save Valentina."

The breeze blew across the basketball court, swirling up the gravel on the ground.

After a long time, Mu Huixue turned toward the iron gate of the basketball court, and without looking back, she waved her hand toward the back and said, "Going or not, the black tower of Changping."

Andre lowered his head and pinched the edges of the photograph with his fingers.

After a few seconds, he put away the picture and treasured it in the inside pocket of his jacket. He stood up and followed Mu Huixue towards the gate of the 80th middle school.

Half an hour later, the six arrived in Beijing's Changping district.

Before he even got close to the black tower, Tang Mo heard a very familiar musical sound. He listened carefully for a moment and looked at Fu Wenduo in surprise. Fu Wenduo confirmed his suspicion, and as the two of them approached, they saw a huge yellow exclamation point suddenly fall from the sky.

"Bam! Wrong answer, wrong answer!"

As if it was one of those exaggerated special effects in cartoons, this giant exclamation mark slammed down from the air and hit the ground with a thud, smashing the player standing in the yellow grid into a pulp. Blood splattered everywhere, and a blood flower appeared on the ground.

This blood flower was surrounded by a dozen more of the same.

Seven or eight players stood trembling in this one yellow lattice, raising their heads in horror and looking ahead. Only to see that directly underneath the black tower, a small, delicate lace-edged table had been placed. On the table was an English-style three-tiered snack plate, with various small and beautiful cakes and snacks placed on it.

One white lace-gloved hand gently picked up the white porcelain cup, put it to her mouth, and took a sip of the strong black tea.

The beautiful maiden hid her lips and smiled, "Still, you have the good stuff, Your Excellency Grea, this is truly the best black tea I've ever tasted."

Across from her, the gentleman in the crimson bowler hat smiled slightly, raised his glass toward Wang Xiaotian, and laughed, "My lady, it's my pleasure if you like it."

Wang Xiaotian gave a sweet smile as she turned her head to look at the humans who were answering the questions. Suddenly, she saw the six Tang Mo standing not far away, and she blinked in surprise, "Honorable Grea, look who I see, I see some old friends."

Grea laughed, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't know they were sure to come for the tower."

Wang Xiaotian: "So that's why you chose this tower over the other three. I thought it was because of its proximity to my tower, you really make me sad."

"I'd find it more lovely if you cried a little. A lady's tears sometimes make her more beautiful."

Wang Xiaotian held her tongue for half a day, but she just couldn't hold back a single tear. She simply stopped pretending, turned her head to the Tang Mo six, raised her tea cup, and smiled, "Since you're here, don't leave."

The beautiful Cinderella winks wryly, "Welcome to 'Cinderella's Happy Quiz Game'."
