Deer, I'm back.

Europe, Berlin, Germany, 5:31 p.m.

Thick snow clouds cover the sky, the snow has long stopped, but the snow on the ground is already ten centimeters thick. The Brandenburg Gate was covered by the white snow, which looked like a white door frame from afar. Suddenly, a black silhouette was thrown heavily, falling on a stone pillar of the Brandenburg Gate.

The ancient stone door with more than two hundred years of history trembled violently, a narrow crack appeared on the door. The silver-haired woman who was thrown onto the stone pillar did not have time to rest and recuperate, she landed in the snow, and in the next moment she supported the ground with one hand, and jumped backward three steps.

Bang!

A giant lollipop appeared where she had just fallen, smashing a large crater in the ground.

Santa had a kind smile on his face, but waved that lollipop: "Hahaha, play along, my sweet boy!"

The battle was almost crushing.

The bodies that died under Brandenburg's gate were buried by snowflakes, the silver-haired woman was the only survivor, but she was so battered and bruised that her movements and reflexes could no longer keep up. Another blow, this time the silver-haired woman didn't dodge and she was lollipoped out with great force. She fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and could no longer stand.

Red blood ran down the wound on her head and wet her eyes. With great difficulty she braced her upper body, and she saw the looming, strong Santa Claus step up to his sleigh, and as he drew rein, he laughed, "Then it comes to the last moment. Son, Santa never kills anyone, but you can't blame Santa if you lie down in the snow and accidentally get trampled and run over by my reindeer and run over by my sleigh. The old man's eyes are always bad, as all the underground man Wang Guo knows." As the words fell out of his mouth, Santa laughed and drove his reindeer towards the silver-haired woman and crushed her.

Elena's eyes tightened as she tried her best to get up, but she was already exhausted.

Just when the sleigh was only five meters away from Elena, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out. Santa blanched and turned the sleigh around to avoid the flaming bullet. The flaming bullet shot into the Brandenburg Gate, and instantly, a fire started, melting most of the snow around the Brandenburg Gate.

Santa turned his head to the visitor and narrowed his eyes.

Elena also turned her head with difficulty and looked in that direction. Only to see that at some point, the snow clouds were gradually dispersing, and the setting sun was sliding down the earth from the imminent. At the junction of the sky and the horizon, six black figures bathed in the warm sunlight, walking in the direction of the Brandenburg Gate. One of them was a blonde-haired youth with his left arm raised flat, a fire|gun covered in golden patterns resting on his arm.

It's obvious that he was the one who shot that bullet just now.

The six walked up to the Brandenburg Gate, Santa looked at the six humans and seemed to recognize one or two of them as he smiled, "Cute kids, long time no see, Merry Christmas!"

A middle-aged man pulled Elena up off the ground and asked in French-filled English, "Who are you?"

Elena said coldly, "Elena Ivanovna."

The blonde young man came over, "The one who was the first Russian to clear the fifth floor of the Black Tower?"

Elena swept him off his feet and didn't say anything.

The middle-aged man smiled and the crowd turned their heads to look at Santa Claus.

"Just because Lena and Dond, those two deranged lunatics, are dead doesn't mean we have no one left in the European zone. The only Black Tower in Europe that has attracted global attention, the Black Tower of Berlin in Europe Zone 1, doesn't need you Russians to raid it. Brothers, it looks like we got the right one this time." The middle-aged man pulled out a long knife and looked at Santa Claus, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, "Kill him and take the Berlin Black Tower!"

New York, USA.

Seizing the opportunity, Peter Pan leaps into the air and dives down, his long golden spear stabbing Bale Fusco straight in the chest. However, Bale doesn't look nervous, and he smiles as his plan succeeds. Peter Pan notices something is wrong and rushes away in surprise, but it is too late.

John suddenly appeared from behind him and fired three bullets straight into Peter Pan's chest.

Across the globe, players everywhere are hard at work attacking towers.

Beijing, China.

It was dark and already late at night.

The moonlight was bright as five figures walked down the ruined hill.

Fu Wen wiped his wet eyes and Chen Shanshan looked at him. The child shook his head, "My eyes hurt a bit from the wind."

Chen Shanshan didn't say anything.

The first returnee in the Time Ranking had more advanced items than Tang Mo. The red whip was given to Chen Shanshan by its owner, and the rest of the props were distributed among the five of them.

Chen Shanshan realized that her voice was a bit hoarse when she opened her mouth, she paused for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice had returned to normal: "Although Bai Ruoyao has been revived, I haven't seen him. Since the Black Pagoda said that he has come to life, where is he? We have to go find him."

Fu Wenduo : "He was in the Black Tower game when he died, and now it's most likely that he's appeared underneath the Black Tower."

The black tower suspended in the air of the Forbidden City had disappeared along with the entire city of Beijing, but if Bai Ruoyao appeared, the most likely place would still be there. The five of them packed up their things and moved in the direction of the Forbidden City. They were only halfway there when Fu Wenduo violently stopped in his tracks.

The crowd immediately looked at him.

Andre closed his eyes and listened for a moment and said, "There are footsteps."

The city of Beijing had just disappeared a few hours ago, and the original players on this great land had either fled or disappeared along with the city. There were even people at this time?

A name surfaced in Tang Mo's mind, and to his surprise, he exchanged a glance with Fu Wenduo, who instantly understood each other's meaning.

"Eh, who's that?" Fu Wen exclaimed in shock.

The crowd looked back.

Only in the bright moonlight, a slim figure came from the horizon.

That doll-faced young man had his hands in his pockets, walking carelessly, walking neither fast nor slow, it was annoying to look at, just like the person he was, he was always in need of a beating. He just walked over step by step, and when he saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, he deliberately made a surprised expression, "Wow, such a coincidence, seeing you guys again, Tangtang , Major Fu. is this fate?"

Tang Mo gave him a faint look, "Did you come here on purpose?"

Bai Ruoyao blinks, "What came over on purpose? Tangtang, my sudden appearance on a mess of ruined rocks scared me." While saying that, while performing a scared look, just that smiling face couldn't tell at all that the man was a little bit scared, he said, "I observed a little bit, and recognized that those stone bricks and stuff on the ground looked a lot like the Forbidden City's. Then I just looked in a random direction to see if there was anyone nearby and ask what was going on. Hee hee, Tangtang, you see the fate between us is really recognized even by the heavens, it even let me find you guys all at once."

Bai Ruoyao's eyes sweep over the five men one by one, and when he sees Andre, he glances away.

Instead of inquiring where the man who was always with Andre and always hunted by Andre had gone, he cocked his head and said, "Where's my butterfly|knife?"

Tang Mo expressionlessly took out two small silver knives from his pocket and threw them over.

Bai Ruoyao took the knife. His dexterous fingers stroked the thin hilt of the knife, and he threw out two beautiful knife flowers in the air. With a snap, the Butterfly Blade disappeared into his sleeve with a speed that was hard for the naked eye to see, so fast that not even Fu Wenduo could see it.

Bai Ruoyao once again put his hands into his pockets and hooked up the corners of his mouth, "So can you tell me now, what ...... happened after I died?"

Tang Mo recounted in simple words the events following Bai Ruoyao's death.

From the death of Lena , Dond, to the players attacked the sixth floor of the Black Tower. Then they get the clues, the Black Tower directly open the seventh floor of the tower attack game, requiring players around the world to attack the tower together.

Chen Shanshan said, "We don't know about that clue from Chongqing player Li Xia for the time being, and I'm assuming it's likely to be a message about the Black Tower's location as well. But the third clue given by the Black Tower is you." After a pause, the little girl looked up at the doll-faced youth, "Do you know where the fifth Black Tower is?"

Instead of answering her words, Bai Ruoyao raised an eyebrow, "Beijing Changping, Guangzhou, Berlin and New Delhi. Are you guys planning to go to Guangzhou now?"

Chen Shanshan nodded, "Although the circus ringmaster is powerful, he is not the strongest player in the Black Tower world. Granny Wolf and Santa Claus are all stronger than him. Although Ruan Wangshu has already taken Chosen's people to Guangzhou to help attack the tower, mu...... voice stopped and the little girl's fingers tightened as she continued, ''But we heard that there aren't any particularly powerful players in Guangzhou, so we plan to move to Guangzhou now, the sooner we attack the tower, the better."

Andre's deep voice suddenly rang out, "What the hell do ni know about clues, shrink!"

The stern murderous aura pressed down fiercely, Bai Ruoyao turned his head to look at this tall and sturdy Russian man. Andre had never shown such a fierce look, as if the doll-faced youth dared not cooperate, he would definitely break his neck.

Bai Ruoyao gave him a fixed look, and after a few moments, he said accusingly, "What did I do wrong again, Tangtang, look at him, he bullied me."

Tang Mo: "What the hell do you know?"

Bai Ruoyao puts away his acting looks.

After a long time, he said, "One thing you guys actually guessed wrong, if the third clue given by the Black Tower is really me as you said. Then it doesn't mean that I'm the only one who knows where that tower is, because I don't even know about this game, and the Black Tower never told me anything like that. That clue is what it means on the surface, it's me. And there is only one tower on Earth that is inextricably and intimately connected to me ......"

"I've actually died once before, in a tower attack game on the second floor of the Black Tower."

Tang Mo's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"

Bai Ruoyao looked down at him and smiled, "That's the surface meaning, Tangtang, am I going to lie to you, am I this kind of person? Alright, alright, you foreigner who can't even speak Mandarin don't hit me with your fist, I'll stop talking nonsense still." As the words fell, the doll face moved his fingers and a half bitten apple appeared in his hand.

"The tower attack game on the second level of the Black Tower was forced upon me by the Black Tower when I was passing through a certain county. Originally that was just an ordinary tower attack game, as long as you complete the main game you can pass. But I killed myself ...... I made a wrong choice." He looked at Tang Mo, "The first player in the world to clear the first level of the Black Tower's difficult mode was called Mo Mo, Tangtang, that person was you, right? I should have been the first to clear the second level of the Black Tower's hard mode, except that I died there. But before I died I stole something and took a bite out of it, and then I came back to life....... Ever since then, my life has been forcefully tied to the BOSS in that game."

"She sleeps, but I live."

"The Black Tower told me that the only way I could get rid of this damn apple and truly live was to attack the seventh floor."

Bai Ruoyao winks, "Tangtang, did you guess who she is?"

Tang Mo looked at the half-bitten apple in Bai Ruoyao's hand, bright red. A name haunts him, and he almost blurts it out--

"...... White show Princess."

Half an hour later, the six men arrived at the junction of Beijing and Baoding.

At the dividing line between the two cities, the six people stopped in their tracks. It wasn't that they clearly saw a line separating the two cities; Chinese cities never deliberately drew city boundaries. But at this moment, they saw a line with their own eyes.

To the north of this line were the ruins of a devastated human race, and to the south of this line was a short house.

When they came to this point the crowd realized that they had already left Beijing City and Area 1 of China.

Fu Wenduo glanced at the ruined city behind him and turned to leave. The others also looked away to the north for a moment and continued to the south.

Tang Mo said, "All the stuff in Beijing is ruined, can't find a car. Baoding should have a car, we first go to the city to find a car, Chongqing is still far away."

Fu Wenduo said, "It's faster to split up."

"Good."

Fu Wen Sheng was halfway there when he realized that that psycho like guy actually didn't follow him. He turned his head to look.

Only between the faint light of the morning, that doll-faced youth stood at the borderline between the two cities, looking away from Beijing. With a flick of his wrist, a silver butterfly | knife suddenly appeared in his palm. Fu Wen sounded startled, did not understand what he wanted to do, the next second to see him throw out the knife.

The beautiful butterfly knife drew a beautiful arc in the air, cut the only small white flower in the weeds next to it, and flew to Bai Ruoyao's hand. His force control is so good that when the butterfly knife falls back into his hand, the flower is also in his hand.

The doll-faced youth sniffed the flower and spoke in a disgusted tone, "Tsk, it doesn't smell good at all."

Then he squatted down his body and stuck this flower in the devastated earth of Beijing.

A small, common wildflower stood quietly in the dirt, swaying in the wind.

Bai Ruoyao poked the flower with a smile, whispered softly, and then turned to leave.

Fu Wen sounded as if he had heard wrongly, when Bai Ruoyao walked past him and said pretentiously, "Tangtang, did you cry when you saw me die, ah, were you not very sad?"

Tang Mo: "Shut up."

"Hip Hip Hip Hip ......"

The six men continued on to the south.

"Could it really be a mishearing?"

The child touched his head and followed the group forward.

Those words dissipated in the wind over the ruins of Beijing.

--"Deer, I'm back."

The moonlight dissipates and the sun rises.

Soon Fu Wenduo found an abandoned jeep in a county town in Baoding. The six of them got into it and quickly made their way to Chongqing.

Bai Ruoyao had this to say, "Chongqing is huge, there are eight black towers in total. That tower is very unassuming, it's on the east side of Chongqing, I went there by accident when I was leaving Chongqing, and the black tower was so bad that I just passed by for a bit, and it pulled me into attacking the tower game."

Fu Wenduo: "Where is that tower?"

"Fengjie, Chongqing."
