Chapter 231: The moonlight is actually pretty beautiful today.

Tang Mo covered the eyes of Fu Wen, the nearest one to him, with great speed, and at the same time, Mu Huixue also covered Chen Shanshan's eyes.

Tang Mo felt a wet heat in his palm, and the boy in his arms trembled, unable to stop the tears from flowing down his face.

Chen Shanshan, on the other hand, was much calmer, she pulled down Mu Huixue's hand, her voice hoarse: "...... It's fine." This voice is so dumb that the little girl is also silent when she hears it. After a while, Chen Shanshan looked at the modern city in ruins and spoke again. This time, her voice was firm: "It's really okay."

Everyone was silent.

And so, for a long time, all six men stared in silence before this overwhelming and magnificent death.

Finally, Fu Wenduo stretched out his hand to close the curtains, and everyone came back to their senses.

Fu Wen wiped away his tears, but his heart was still stuffy. He knew that the black tower said, in these seven days, every day, more than two thousand black tower will disappear, and along with it is the area of the city and human beings. But ......

"Defeating the circus ringmaster obviously wasn't that hard, big brother the four of them teamed up, it really wasn't that hard. But why, why ......"

Why, when he saw the collapse of human civilization with his own eyes, he realized just how cruel the game was.

How many people can they save?

Every day, more than two thousand Black Towers disappear. There were only six of them, and there were a total of five Black Towers in the world.

Andre suddenly stood up: "I'm going to Berlin."

The crowd understood what he meant, and Mu Huixue subconsciously stood up, "I'll join you."

Andre looked at her with dark eyes and a deep voice: "You stay."

Mu Huixue froze.

Andre gave Mu Huixue a deep look, without giving a reason, as he picked up the fur coat he had taken off for healing and turned to walk out of the building. Tall, strong, burly Russians walked the desolate roads, the streets and alleys were filled with players fleeing from elsewhere, all of them fleeing towards the north.

In the midst of this swarm of people, there was only one tall and sturdy figure going against the crowd, firmly heading towards the west.

The place he's going is Europe.

Even though he might not make it there in seven days, even though he could die at any time during the journey due to the disappearance of the Black Tower, he had to go.

Fu Wenduo stood on a high building and looked at Andre's back. After a few moments, he said, "Let's go to other places first to see if there are any surviving humans, and tomorrow we'll move to Guangzhou as well."

"Good."

After the black towers disappeared from these places, the place became an unoccupied ruin. Everything was clearly separated, the two ends of the same road, one end unchanged, the other already in concrete fragments.

Tang Mo stood in the center of the road and held his hand out over the intersection line of the two districts. He turned his head and said, "It's okay. It seems that one way to survive the seven days now is to find a zone that has disappeared, in which one can survive. Most of the people should be able to figure out this method, so I guess soon they will turn back and hide here to spend the seven days in peace."

The crowd walks towards the eightieth center.

Unfortunately, they didn't find any Chosen members. I don't know if they died under the Black Tower or escaped without incident.

The broken bricks and tiles of high-rise buildings are piled up in a small mountain on the earth. It was only after all the modern buildings collapsed that people realized that the civilization that mankind had built on this land had surpassed nature itself.

The sun shines brightly on the earth.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo set out to find the surviving humans and search some of the ruins, trying to find information about the Black Tower's disappearance. Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen rest among them. Fu Wen Sheng is the least mentally capable of the six members of the team, and blames himself for his outburst earlier in the evening.

He toughened up quickly.

There was little he could do but drain his powers as much as he could to make a more advanced healing mineral water.

Chen Shanshan was writing and drawing in her notebook when she raised her head to look around and suddenly realized that Mu Huixue had disappeared. The little girl furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and got up to look for the other girl.

Bright and bright moonlight sprinkled on the ruins of the city, empty and silent in all directions, not a single human figure could be found.

Chen Shanshan naturally did not know that the Mu Huixue she was looking for was lying at the very top of this ruined hill beside them. She rested on her right hand and looked at the white moon. After a long time, she stretched out her left hand and squinted her eyes. Moonlight poured down through the gaps in her fingers, dappled shadows shining on her face.

Just like that, the world's most powerful returnee basked in the moonlight and watched it.

Five minutes later, Mu Huixue laughed, "If you're here, why don't you come out. I thought we were already considered friends, or ...... teammates?"

A dull footstep sounded from behind the ruins.

Wrapped in a thick fur coat and burying his face in a hat, only his green eyes showed. One foot at a time, Andre stepped over the broken masonry and glass to the top of the hill of ruins. He didn't say a word, or why he had gone and returned, but just looked at Mu Huixue with a calm, quiet gaze.

Mu Huixue looked at the moon and said, "Why did you come back."

After a long period of silence, Andre's voice was low and muffled, "I was halfway there, but I still decided to come back and kill you." The voice suddenly paused, Andre's line of sight shifted and looked to the side, then continued to turn his head and spoke to Mu Huixue, "I'm sorry, but we both know ...... that you have to die."

Mu Huixue: "Are you afraid to die."

Andre: "No fear, if you don't want to, I can kill myself after I kill you."

But you must die.

Andre didn't say the last word.

Mu Huixue of course knew what he meant, she looked at the moon and laughed, ''Actually, I'm not afraid of death either. Since you're not living for yourself, what did you kill me for. Do you still want to resurrect your daughter, or your wife?"

"I will not resurrect Valentina. I promised you that you had killed a total of 78 people, and I lost that bet, so I will not kill you to resurrect Valentina. But there are still more than three million humans alive in this world, and this world is where Valentina has lived. Even if those more than three million people are dead ...... I don't want this world to disappear. So, you know, it's him I want to resurrect."

"Even if maybe the truth isn't that, and killing me to resurrect him won't necessarily lead us to that last tower?"

Andre closed his mouth and didn't make another sound.

Mu Huixue propped up her arms, looked at the moon and smiled, "But with only one percent hope, you can't give up, can you." The next moment, she said, "Why are you still hiding, come out."

A few seconds later, Chen Shanshan silently walked out from behind the rubble.

Andre and Mu Huixue were speaking in Russian. Mu Huixue turned his head to look at the child and said in Russian, "Do you understand."

It's only normal for a child that young not to know Russian.

And yet she is Chen Shanshan.

Chen Shanshan was silent for a moment and replied in Russian, "My teacher taught me."

Mu Huixue froze for a moment, then continued, "You're the smartest kid I've ever met. I know it's your special ability, but I'm quite curious, just now, that conversation between Andre and I, do you know what we were talking about?" She winked wryly, "How about if you guess correctly, I'll send you a secret."

Chen Shanshan was tempted to say that she didn't want Mu Huixue's secret at all, but she didn't make a sound, instead closing her eyes and recalling that conversation the two had just had for a while. When she opened her eyes again, her voice was calm, ''Killing the first place in the Time Ranking allows you to resurrect a player who died in the game. Andre went and came back because he wasn't sure if you would commit suicide and kill yourself to resurrect this person, and he was worried that you were afraid of dying, so he came back and tried to kill you himself."

Hearing this, Andre showed surprise and looked at Chen Shanshan so seriously for the first time.

This wasn't the first time Mu Huixue had fought this little girl, she hugged her own knees and sat on the ground, watching Chen Shanshan with interest : "Continue."

"Andre said he didn't kill you to resurrect his wife and daughter, and now it looks like he's been chasing you to kill you before to resurrect his wife and daughter. But now he doesn't want to do that. It's not for the sake of his loved ones, he still wants to kill you and is more determined, that can only be one reason ...... the one he wants to resurrect has something to do with the tower attack game on the seventh level of the Black Tower." After a pause, Chen Shanshan looked up, his tone certain, "That person knows where the last tower is."

Mu Huixue burst out laughing as she applauded, "You really are the smartest kid I've ever met. No, you're probably the smartest player I've ever met. Your answer is correct, except that Andre and I aren't sure if that person will find the last Black Tower or not. But you can guess who Andre is trying to resurrect. Friendly reminder that that person is still known to you."

Chen Shanshan squeezed his fingers tightly and looked at Mu Huixue.

"Is ...... him?"

"Yes."

Chen Shanshan almost blurted out, "Why!"

Mu Huixue asked rhetorically, "Don't you know the reason, only he knows where the last tower is."

Chen Shanshan's mouth opened, and soon she calmed down. The little girl glances at Mu Huixue and then at Andre.

In the ruined modern city, the woman in black with a high ponytail sat on one of the highest hills and smiled. The moonlight sprinkled on her body, making her look cold and lonely. And beside her, that brown bear-like Russian player stood silently by her side, his eyes did not have a murderous aura, but his attention kept hitting the black-clothed woman's body.

As soon as she ran, he would catch up with her and kill her in every way possible.

Mu Huixue had no intention of running away, and as Chen Shanshan turned to leave, she said, "Let her kill me."

Chen Shanshan turned back with a lurch in his step.

Andre looks down at her, "She?"

Mu Huixue spread his hands, "Since it's all about death, it's not the same who kills me? I'd rather die at the hands of a little friend than a guy like you. She's much cuter than you."

Andre looked at Mu Huixue seriously, and he realized that Mu Huixue was still smiling, but her eyes were firm and she was determined to die.

They were never fearful of death.

"Good."

The burly Russian walks down the ruins and stops talking about killing Mu Huixue himself.

For the first time, Chen Shanshan felt at a loss for words. Standing on the ruins, she saw Mu Huixue turn over her hand and take out a small and exquisite compass. She said, "In fact, I asked Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo to kill me together before, saying that I wanted to die, but in fact I still want to live. Don't get me wrong, I'm not as afraid of death as Fly, and I don't want to live that much either. But the fact is like what the circus master said today, he can't kill me, none of you can kill me. Because ...... I have this compass."

Taking out the fallacy compass, Mu Huixue took out a dagger with her other hand. She aimed the tip of the blade at her heart and stabbed in.

Chen Shanshan exclaimed, "You?!"

"It's fine, I can't die from this kind of injury even without the Fallacy Compass." The dagger brought out a trace of heart's blood, Mu Huixue wiped the blood from her lips and applied the heart's blood from the dagger on the compass. She very patiently used the blood to color the pointer of the fallacy compass red, while saying, "Speaking of which, you little friend are so smart, that long time ago, the time I cleared the fourth floor of the Black Tower, the one that made the two worlds merge, can you guess why I suddenly failed to clear the fourth floor when I clearly cleared the fourth floor, and only succeeded to clear the fourth floor after ten days? "

Three months ago, Black Tower suddenly sang a song for a strange player. The consistently aloof Black Tower praised this player with extreme enthusiasm, unabashedly expressing his fondness for the player.

At that time, Mu Huixue had cleared the fourth floor of the Black Tower, and almost directly opened the Black Tower 4.0 version. But suddenly, her passage came to an end, and the update of the Black Tower was temporarily suspended. It was only after half a month that she officially passed the level again and started Black Tower 4.0.

Chen Shanshan mused, "Because of the fallacy compass?"

Mu Huixue: "Wow, you're a really smart guy."

Not understanding the Cantonese phrase didn't stop Chen Shanshan from understanding what it meant. She explained, "You just said that because of the fallacious compass, you can't die anyhow. Then you asked this question again. It's obvious that your failure to pass the fourth floor must be because of the Fallacy Compass."

"You finally guessed wrong."

Chen Shanshan froze.

"It wasn't because of the Fallacy Compass. At that time, I attacked the tower just to let the Black Tower Boss kill me and die in the game. I didn't want any of the Returners to kill me and resurrect someone else, and I didn't want to give away two hundred and sixty thousand breaks to a murderous Returner, so I chose to enter the Tower Attack game on the fourth floor of the Black Tower. But sadly, I passed that game. At the moment I passed, I saw that fallacy compass ......" Mu Huixue's blood completely stained the pointer of the fallacy compass as she laughed, "Ordinary Black Tower monsters can't kill me, but what about the fallacy compass? That's why the moment I cleared the level, I started to grab this compass."

Chen Shanshan's eyes widened, she had thought of many possibilities, but it had never occurred to her that Mu Huixue had abruptly terminated her fourth floor of the Black Tower in order to snatch away a rare prop.

Fresh blood dripped down the pointer of the fallacy compass to the ground, and the moment that drop of blood hit the ground, a muffled grunt escaped from Mu Huixue's throat. Her face instantly paled, as if something had disappeared from her body.

Mu Huixue threw the Fallacy Compass at the earth, and the tiny compass presented a parabola that smashed into the ground. But halfway through its flight, it disappeared into thin air.

Mu Huixue : "The circus leader is right, this kind of prop should never have been possessed by the player in the first place, it's a bug, a bug that was caused because of my supernatural ability. and what's going on right now is probably the Black Tower's revenge."

Chen Shanshan's brain worked quickly, she guessed three or four possibilities, but was not sure.

After disposing of the Fallacy Compass and returning the stolen items to the Black Tower, Mu Huixue patted her clothes and stood up. She walked up to Chen Shanshan and smiled, "Alright, now you can kill me as you please. I won't resist."

Chen Shanshan looked up at her and finally couldn't help but ask, "...... Why me?"

Mu Huixue was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect his little friend to ask this question.

She looked down at this girl who was always incomparably calm and strong to the point of being terrifying, and after a long time, she reached out her hand and tenderly touched Chen Shanshan's head, "Because, ah, that person who I resurrected in the first place, and who was later killed by my own hands, is really very similar to you."

Mu Huixue's face was a helpless and nostalgic smile, Chen Shanshan looked at her like this, his lips opened, but still did not ask.

After a few seconds, Chen Shanshan calmly said, "Since you have decided to die, I want Brother Tang Mo to kill you."

Mu Huixue, because he misheard, "What?"

Chen Shanshan analyzed with a serious look on his face, "You might have guessed it already, Brother Tang Mo's psychic ability is to collect other people's psychic abilities. But this ability is too heavenly, so the stronger the ability, the more difficult it is for him to collect it. As a matter of fact, if he wants to obtain an alien ability of your level, the only way is to kill you." On the little girl's simple and innocent face was an incomparably serious look as she said very nonchalantly, "Since you've decided to die, why don't you let Brother Tang Mo take away your alien ability."

Mu Huixue: "......"

Mu Huixue curled his fingers and flicked Chen Shanshan's forehead.

The little girl's head turned red all of a sudden, and she reached up to cover her forehead.

Mu Huixue said expressionlessly, ''That's where you and her are a little different. Obviously I'm going to die, can't you say something nice? Little friend, you can't be like this as a human being, you know."

Chen Shanshan lifted her head and said with a straight face, "Can I call Brother Tang Mo to come?"

Mu Huixue: "......"

"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Chen Shanshan: "Good."

Chen Shanshan turned around and ran away, Mu Huixue watched her back, and after a few moments, she lay down again, basking in the beautiful moonlight, as if every second she basked in it would be a second less, and she would never see such a view again in her life.

And she didn't realize that the short-haired girl clenched her fingers in death as she turned and ran down the rubble. Nails embedded deep into her palms, the eyes of this ridiculously sensible girl, the little girl who could nonchalantly offer a final exploit even in the face of life and death, squeezing the value of her life clean out of her, were wet.

But the moment before the tears fell out of her eyes, she raised her hand and wiped them away, still with that calm demeanor.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had just returned to the ruined hill when they ran into Chen Shanshan.

The little girl looked at Tang Mo expressionlessly, and told the other what had happened. Tang Mo was suddenly stunned, he turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo. the two of them nodded gently, and then together they walked up the small hill, and soon saw Mu Huixue lying on the top of the hill.

Realizing they were coming, Mu Huixue stretched and stood up.

She walked up to Chen Shanshan and curled her fingers again, snapping her brain.

Andre had been hiding in the dark for a long time, and when he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo return, he too stepped out and stood to the side without saying a word.

Mu Huixue laughed cheerfully, ''She has already told you everything, right? Actually, I don't feel much about dying or not, I'm not afraid of death, sometimes there's not much point in living, it might be more valuable for me to die. Andre is right, the third clue given by the Black Tower destined me to die. If you don't do it, Andre will, and I'll even do it myself. It's a waste to kill myself. It won't give you access to your powers. So why don't you make use of it and kill me by you, Tang Mo."

Fu Xiaodi learned the truth from Chen Shanshan s mouth, and he said, "No, Sister Mu, you really want ...... to."

The little kid couldn't say that word. He didn't understand at all, obviously during the daytime everyone was still raiding the Black Tower together and clearing the game, how did it suddenly become like this.

Mu Huixue, who had surprising patience with children, knelt down and touched Fu Wen Sheng's head. "This city, it's gone." She touched Fu Wen Sheng's head and led him to look at the devastated earth beneath his feet. "It wasn't sudden, from the time Andre and I saw that clue, we understood what the Black Tower meant and knew that this day would come, it's just that we weren't willing to face it until now, when the city disappeared in front of us."

Fu Wen Sheng clenched his teeth, he wanted to say something, but nothing could be said.

Fu Wenduo: "Does it really have to be this way?"

Mu Huixue raised one eyebrow and looked at him, "Major Fu, I've already thrown away all my fallacy compasses and returned them to the Black Tower, and you're just telling me this now?"

Fu Wenduo didn't answer, he wasn't there just now.

Tang Mo also said, "You don't have to do this now, it's not the end yet. Maybe there's a turnaround, another way to find that tower."

"And then watch as hundreds of thousands of people disappear along with the Black Tower every single day for six days." Mu Huixue smiled, "Since the Black Tower gave that clue, it means that was the only way. Today when Grea said that the Black Tower was going to take revenge on me, I suddenly realized something."

"Tang Mo, it's obvious that that guy has always been lucky, so why is he suddenly unlucky enough to run into two of his teammates going out together. As long as it wasn't those two powerful players that went out, or even just any of them, he wouldn't have died. But he died. Now that I think about it, this isn't the Black Tower getting back at him, this is the Black Tower getting back at me."

"Maybe it's not just that he's the only one who can find that black tower, but it's also possible that he's the only one, who can raid that black tower."

"So ...... Tang Mo, kill me."

Tang Mo clenched his fingers and looked at Mu Huixue with a fixed gaze.After a long time, he took out two silver butterfly | knives from his pocket.

Mu Huixue looked towards Chen Shanshan and waved at her with a bright smile, ''In the future, I will bask in the moon more instead. Just now I said that I would tell you a secret if you guessed correctly. I don't really have a secret, it's just that a long time ago before I killed the one who looked a lot like you, she said she wanted to return to Earth and see the moon. There is no moon in the world of the Returners, only daylight. This baton is now mine to give to you, so get some more sun."

Chen Shanshan looked calm, but she didn't say anything.

Mu Huixue laughed, "Huh?"

Chen Shanshan : "...... good."

By this time, Tang Mo had already walked up to Mu Huixue.

Mu Huixue put away his smile and looked at him seriously, "Let's get started then ......"

She raised her eyes, her gaze firm, and said word for word, "Tang Mo, kill me and resurrect Bai Ruoyao."

The refreshing female voice drowned in the evening breeze as Mu Huixue grinned a frankly optimistic smile.

Two days ago, sixth floor of the Black Tower, Noah's Ark.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo both failed to notice that as they turned over their red slips of paper to read the twelve words on the back, Mu Huixue, Andre also turned over theirs and saw the words written on them.

There were only three words, but those three words were enough to cause both of the powerful Black Tower Sixth Level players to be stunned in place for a long time.

The moment they saw those three words, they suddenly felt incomparably ironic.

Mu Huixue and Andre saw the clues clearly, and the paper turned into flying dust and disappeared. But those three words burned into their hearts and stung their eyes, never to be forgotten. Those three words were--

"Bai Ruoyao"

"The moonlight is actually pretty beautiful today."

The silver blade light flashed, and at this moment, it was even brighter than the moonlight.
