Disdain from a famous detective~

For two copper coins, Tang Mo had bought the exact location of the pier from a burly man in a flowery dress. The Cirque du Freak was holding a surprise night show in seven days, and they had rented the best lot in Wang Guo, the Underlander, and set up their tents in the square in the center of the city, where the crowds were the heaviest. The pier, however, was five kilometers away.

After walking for twenty minutes, Tang Mo looked up, and saw the canvas of the dock boats hanging high. He turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo, and they nodded. Tang Mo tightened his mask, put his hands in his pockets, and walked briskly towards the pier. Fu Wenduo disappeared beside him.

Tang Mo walked towards the pier, keeping his attention on his surroundings. He was always on the lookout for possible players, however when he looked around he didn't notice any that looked like players. Everything was calm and quiet, and Tang Mo managed to make his way to a huge ship. He looked at the words "Cirque du Freak" that stood out on the canvas, and stepped onto the deck.

"Is this the Circus of Wacky's boat?"

As the words landed on the ground, two circus members who were working on the deck turned their heads to look at Tang Mo. As soon as they saw the letters hovering above Tang Mo's head, they rushed over to him. One of them exclaimed, "How long has it been, why are you here now? The sneezers have already gone to look for you.Mr. B, we have paid the money, don't try to be lazy.Where is Mr. A?"

Tang Mo faintly said, "He had a stomachache and went to the toilet."

The tall circus member waved his hand: ''Hurry up and take that monster away, it's noisy, and hasn't let anyone sleep well all night. The ringmaster has gone to the palace to send an invitation to the honorable king and queen, and before he left, he instructed not to bring that disgusting monster into the circus before the surprise night. The head of the troupe has received information that the thieves have been trying to steal the monster, and that they have set many traps in the vicinity of the circus."

Tang Mo frowns, "You can't take the monster to the circus for seven days?"

The shorter circus member interjected, "Of course, those thieves have already set up their net in the square, are you rushing to deliver the monster."

"Does that mean I have to be on the seventh day before I can send the monster to the circus?"

Tall Guy: "The seventh night to be exact."

Shorty "Not a second ahead."

Tall man: "Here, you see the cage that holds the monster, it's right there. Let me kindly remind you that this monster it is afraid of the light, terrifyingly afraid of the light. If you leave it in the light for ten minutes, it will dehydrate and die. You don't want it to die, the chief said he'd dissect it himself."

Tang Mo: "I know."

Tang Mo strides up to a carriage.

This huge carriage was about three meters high, two meters wide and four meters long. It was heavily placed on the deck of the sailing ship, Tang Mo tried to pull its carriage, he used five points of force, but surprisingly he only pulled it half a meter. As he pulled the carriage, a dull crash came from the carriage, as if something had foolishly hit the walls of the carriage.

Tang Mo pondered for a moment, turned his head and asked, "Where are the horses?"

It was said to be a wagon, but it didn't even have horses, only wheels, and on top of it was placed a blackened cage, covered with a black cloth.

Upon hearing this, the taller member became angry instead, "Wow, you still want a horse? It's good enough to have a cart for you, why do you need a horse!"

The short man pulled him back, ''Ignore him, it's just a detective who can't lift his hands, he can't even pull a wagon, I don't know why the headmaster hired them at a high salary to watch over the monster. If I say so, we should be allowed to continue to watch over it. It's just a monster, how can we let it get away? If someone really comes to steal it, I'll smash my fist through his nose."

The two circus members finish their bragging and leave Tang Mo alone, talking to themselves about their evening drink at the Banana Tavern.

Tang Mo wasn't interested in them either, he pulled up the carriage with both hands and exerted a little force, the heavy weight slammed against the wall two more times in the cage. Soon Tang Mo stabilized his speed and pulled the wagon step by step off the ship.

Because the monster was too heavy, Tang Mo didn't walk very fast. Each step he took left a half-centimeter deep footprint on the ground. The wheels slid across the ground, two deep ruts burned into the dirt. After Tang Mo gets used to the weight, he gradually picks up speed and walks out of the dock.

Along the way, many people looked over curiously, as if they wanted to see what was in such a large cage.

Tang Mo wore a mask and walked calmly amidst the gaze of so many people. Suddenly, he glanced at a short middle-aged man in the crowd. The middle-aged man did not expect Tang Mo to suddenly look at him among so many people. His eyes changed and he turned around and ran. Tang Mo pulled the car with both hands, slightly hooked the corner of his lips, looking at the direction the man ran away, a faint smile floated up on his face under the mask.

But in a few moments, the huge carriage left the dock. Tang Mo took a few turns down the street and disappeared into the winding alleyways.

Setting the wagon and cage in a small abandoned building, Tang Mo craned his neck to loosen his muscles and sat down on the ground to rest. He waited patiently, and ten minutes later, two men were thrown on the ground. Tang Mo glanced at the two men and looked up at Fu Wenduo : "Just two?"

An odd knight in armor stepped out of the darkness, "His only accomplice was this one. He spared five minutes at the docks before he went to meet this accomplice. Then I captured them."

Tang Mo touched the mask on his face to make sure his face wouldn't be seen before walking up and kicking the two players on the ground. He was about to open his mouth to speak when he suddenly realized he had to act a little more like a Digimon. His mind flashed through various Underground Man bosses, such as Mosaic, Mario , Pinocchio , Santa Claus ...... Finally Tang Mo's eyes flashed on a player's figure, he was silent for a moment and decided to imitate this person.

Tang Mo's head tilted with an impishly cheeky grin, "So you're the thieves who are coming to steal the monster?"

Those two players were beaten half to death by Fu Wenduo, but they were physically fit after all, and Fu Wenduo didn't give them fatal injuries. The two men's eyes rolled and looked at each other. The short and thin man said first, "What monsters, we are not thieves. Who are you guys and why are you beating up people and tying us up here? We are citizens of Wang Guo, the underground people, you are violating our civil rights like this and will be wanted by the Wang Guo guards!"

The civil rights of the subterranean Wang Guo?

Tang Mo didn't expect these two players to actually know so much. However, they had already cleared the first floor of the Black Tower, so it was perfectly normal for them to know this kind of information. Tang Mo continued to mimic Bai Ruoyao and gave a disgusted laugh, picking up a wooden stick on the ground and poking one of the players in the face, "You guys want to steal something, the Wang Guo guards will be the first to arrest you, not us."

"Who are you to say we're stealing?"

"Just! What did we steal from you?"

From the beginning to the end, these two players did not even look at the top of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's heads. It was as if they really couldn't see the two letters hovering above Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's heads, and that they were just serious citizens of Wang Guo, the Underground Man.

Tang Mo was about to speak, but Fu Wenduo directly said, "Letting them go is not an option, they will continue to come and steal monsters next. Victor, kill them?"

Tang Mo froze. It took him a few seconds to realize that the word "Victor" was a reference to himself. Suppressing the strange feeling in the back of his mind, Tang Mo said, "Then it's a good idea to shoot, Don."

The two players opened their eyes wide in horror and said sharply, "Don't kill us, we really didn't want to steal anything, we're just ordinary citizens ......"

Bang!

Bang!

Fu Wenduo withdrew his hand, and with two harsh and dry hand slashes, he directly knocked the two players unconscious. After confirming that they had fainted to death, Tang Mo breathed a sigh of relief and stopped acting like Bai Ruoyao's snake charmer. He turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo: "Are you hurt?"

Fu Wenduo: "No."

Tang Mo looked down at the two players and frowned, "I thought I would have caught a few more players, but I didn't realize it was just these two. The other players are too well hidden, and they were at the pier a while ago, quietly observing me, but they didn't reveal themselves. Only this one," Tang Mo looked at the short and thin man who was fainting, "was too stupid and exposed|revealed himself."

Before entering the pier, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo split up, one in the open and the other in the dark.

The reason for splitting up is to put psychological pressure on the 21 players. Tang Mo's presence in plain sight on the pier is a gold coin of the King. If the 21 players, who wanted to rob the monster at the very beginning, only saw Tang Mo, they might stop their action. Since there is another Mr. A hiding somewhere, they need to be careful and vigilant. Secondly, it was because Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo wanted to use the opportunity to grab some players and reduce their opponents.

Walking on the way to the pier Tang Mo realized that the news that the Circus of Oddities was going to smuggle the monster in the next two days had spread all over the underground people Wang Guo. all the underground people knew that the odd monster was about to arrive at the pier, and most likely, the 21 players got the news as well.

As soon as they know, they will head to the docks and see what's going on.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo couldn't possibly hide their identities with two letters on their heads, but they could. They could hide in the crowd at the pier and sneak a peek at their future opponents to get more information. Tang Mo could hardly spot them, but they could clearly see Tang Mo.

Only this short skinny man ......

"Everyone was more curious about the car I was pulling, wondering what kind of monster was in the cage. Except for this guy." Tang Mo removed his mask and took a breath of air, helpless, "His eyes rested on me for a minute. He was more interested in observing me than the crate, more interested in seeing what kind of strength I, the king's gold coin, really had."

Fu Wenduo said, "It's just a pity that he's the only one of those twenty-one players who's so stupid."

Tang Mo said, "How strong are these two?"

"Not really. In terms of pure force, this man is slightly worse than Jacks." Fu Wenduo said faintly, pointing at the taller man and then the shorter man, "This man is very poor in force, and his psychic ability is a flying sparrow. His sparrow screams very noisily and seems to be a sonic attack. I took care of them quickly so I didn't suffer much."

Tang Mo : "It looks like these two are definitely not above average when placed in the first floor of the Black Tower." After a pause, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo: "Aren't you going to take off your helmet to get some air?"

The bulky, odd silver helmet hid the man's face within it, and Fu Wenduo's voice was low, "No need."

Tang Mo : "There are no players nearby." Just now, in order to avoid being followed by players, he had used "A Very Fast Man". He could only use it three times a day, but in order to get rid of any players that might be following him, Tang Mo used this ability to speed up and arrived at this abandoned building.

Fu Wenduo : "...... helmet is too heavy and not very wearable." So simply don't take it off.

Tang Mo: "......"

The two players had fainted and the sky was getting dark. By this time, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo finally had the time to see what the monster they were about to guard looked like. The two of them walked up to the huge cage, Fu Wenduo pulled the corner of the black cloth with one hand and turned his head to look at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: "You open it."

In the next moment, the black cloth was quickly lifted and the monster in the cage appeared in front of the two.

In the dim light, a monster as large as a boa constrictor was bent over the cage, and was stupidly pushing its head against the steel bars on the cage as if that would break them. Suddenly the black cloth was removed, and the stupid monster froze in mid-air, and it took five minutes for it to react, lifting its head dully to the two underground men in front of itself.

Tang Mo had been prepared for this, and he sighed mentally at the sight of the creature.

Fu Wenduo's gaze swept over the large earthworm's body, "It's an earthworm?"

Tang Mo : "Well, it's still a big worm."

Fu Wenduo nods, "The worm is indeed a bit too big to have the capital to be a treasure used by the circus for display. But ......" the voice ends abruptly. Fu Wenduo pauses for a long moment, surprised, "Did you just hear that voice?"

Tang Mo was expressionless, "Uh, I hear you."

Fu Wenduo, keenly aware of Tang Mo's speechlessness, said, "You recognize this big earthworm?"

Tang Mo looked meaningfully at this earthworm that whimpered and cried, and said with hatred: ''Recognize, recognize very early. Two months ago, I participated in an S-rank copy, that is, a security level copy, a name taken by Luo Feng City. The main quest of that copy was to kill one of the circus members guarding this earthworm, and I ended up releasing this earthworm by hand."

Fu Wenduo: "Did you release this earthworm?"

"If not mistaken, it was indeed released by me." Tang Mo looked at the big earthworm, "There shouldn't be a second earthworm as dumb as it is and as big as it is."

Fu Wenduo's voice was calm, "Tell me about that copy."

Tang Mo told it like it is.

In the darkness and silence of the building, a big earthworm cried and cried and cried that it was hungry and wanted to see its mother. If you take a closer look, you will find that this big earthworm is crying like a rainbow, it has not shed a single tear, it is purely fake crying! But it cried as if it were real, and while crying, it pushed its head against the cage, and when it got tired, it would lie down and rest for a while, and then continue to push.

After determining that the monster he's guarding is still a giant earthworm, Tang Mo won't hide anything from his copy of Kill Bill. Every detail of his copy could be important information, and he'll share it with his teammates to avoid any miscommunication that could lead to miscommunication over the next seven days.

Meanwhile, in a small cabin by the dock.

Five players gathered around a square sandbox in the center. A young woman with short hair smoothed out this sand tray before picking up a branch and gently drawing in the sand. She drew quickly, and within a few strokes she had drawn a line. The most amazing thing was that as she did so, a map of Wang Guo, the underground man, slowly appeared on the sand table.

This is not a complete map of Wang Guo, which is presented as a long strip starting at the pier and ending at a wide street.

After drawing the last stroke, the short-haired woman put away her hand and said, "This is where he disappeared. Old Lee and I followed him here, certain that he had spotted us, but in just a blink of an eye, he disappeared, out of thin air."

The middle-aged man called "Old Li" agreed: "That's right, I promise I didn't blink, but he just disappeared in the middle of the street."

In the middle of the five, a svelte man with eyes pondered for a moment and said, "I've met fast Black Tower monsters before."

The short haired woman looked at him, "So Captain, what next, we've lost them. I can guarantee that not only have I lost them, but the other three teams have definitely lost them as well. Besides us, there are three other groups following that Mr. B. Conservatively estimating, there are at least five teams present in this assembly copy of ours."

A young man wondered, "Five teams? Weren't there only four groups following that Mr. B?"

Old Li laughed, "You're being silly again. Xiao Chen, wasn't there a man found by Mr. B on the pier. I reckon he should have already been taken care of by Mr. A and Mr. B. If he still has a companion, that would be even worse. He might go looking for his companion, assuming that A and B are a bit smarter and won't catch him first, but will wait for him to find his companion and catch him and his teammate together. It's fine if he's just one person, not dragging his teammates down. But rally copies are rarely entered by a single person, we all enter in groups of people in groups. I'm guessing their team has already been killed by those two Underground Man Detectives."

Xiao Chen touched his head, "Hey, what do I care about this. Just ask the captain and Sister Lin about this kind of stuff, I just fight."

The five laughed away.

The man with the glasses slowly restrained his smile as he reached out his hand and drew a circle on the sand table. The circle he drew was near the street where Tang Mo disappeared, and after he finished the circle he thought for a while, then erased it and drew a bigger circle. He said, "There must be a deeper meaning in choosing this place to disappear. Most likely, Mr. A and Mr. B landed here. For the circus, Lin Yi, you continue to follow up, they might send the monster to the circus. The others are with me, tomorrow let's go to this neighborhood and take a look."

"Yes!"

The short-haired woman named Lin Yi lowered her head and carefully looked at the circle drawn by the man with glasses. After a long time, she asked, "Are Mr. A and Mr. B really underground people? Captain, it just occurred to me that there is a possibility that they are players, just like us."

The man with the glasses narrowed his eyes, "That's too unlikely."

Old Li said, "Xiao Lin, the assembly copy 'Surprise Night of the Freak Circus' can only be accessed by players who have reached the first level of the Black Tower. In other words, all of our other 21 players have cleared at least the first level of the Black Tower, and there may be bigwigs inside who have cleared the second level of the Black Tower. There is not a single player in the world who has managed to clear the third level of the Black Tower, and players who are even more powerful have only cleared the second level of the Black Tower. If Mr. A and Mr. B were two players, then they would be facing at least 21 Black Tower Tier 1 players. Even if they are both at the Black Tower Level 2, it's impossible for them to win."

Xiao Chen echoed, "That's right, the captain said that one of the most important principles of the Black Tower game is fairness. To have two players fight against 21 of us, that's just too impossible. Unless the Black Tower feels that those two players can defeat 21 people, stop it, how is that possible. Even if they were at the Black Tower's second tier level, it's still impossible. Is the difference between the second and first tier levels that big, I don't believe it."

Lin Yi nodded, "I'll just say it."

Old Li laughed, "A woman's sixth sense? You really don't say, it's good to have a woman on the team, hey hey hey ...... ouch!"

The young woman withdrew her own feet and high-tailed it out of the hut, diving into the night in the direction of the circus.

Banana Tavern, a certain box.

The dimly lit, cramped booths wandered with the strong smell of blood. Or rather, the entire Banana Tavern smelled like this. As soon as darkness fell, countless underground people flocked to the famous tavern and ordered a glass of the fishy, delicious banana wine. The tavern was filled with the stench of men's sweat, with a hint of the stench of feet mixed in.

In the box, a bald man took a barrel of banana wine and gulped it down. When he finished the wine, the barrel revealed a broken human hand, which actually wore a ring on its middle finger. The bald man pulled this ring off, and the pretty teenager next to him curiously pushed over to take a look, and hemmed and hawed, "Unpretentious, this banana tavern really isn't pretentious at all."

The bald man pushed the teenager away, "Get lost, what are you looking at when I'm drinking. Underage can't drink don't you know?"

The teenager licked his teeth, "I've killed people and I can't drink?"

The bald man ignored him.

Four people sat in this booth, and all three except the teenager ordered banana drinks. A young woman picked up a glass of wine and tasted it before putting it aside in disgust. She said, "Is it really okay if we don't go track down Mr. B today? If he hides the monster and sends it to the circus on the last day, our chances of getting it are even lower."

"Didn't a team go on the trail, four of them." The bald man wanted to follow the example of the underground people and try to take a bite of this human hand. But he only took a bite before rushing to put it aside. He still couldn't do something like eating a human hand, drinking blood wine was fine. "They go tracking just fine. If they track Mr. B and we kill them, won't we know where Mr. B is?"

That made sense, and the pretty teenager clapped her hands together and said excitedly, "So who are we going to kill tomorrow? I put bugs on three dumbasses."

"Whatever. Kill whoever you want!"

The woman clasped her hands on her arms and stared coldly at the three people in front of her as she said in a cold voice, "That Mr. B looks a bit familiar to me, as if I've seen it somewhere."

The bald man looked at her, "You've seen this boss? in which copy?"

The woman thought for a moment, "I don't remember, I've been to too many copies."

The middle-aged man who was sitting next to him and hadn't said anything spoke up, "That Mr. B showed half of his face, and he looks like a good-looking little white boy. Tsk, you shouldn't be unable to see a little white boy, right?"

The woman said angrily, "Get out!"

The bald man rounded off, "Well well well, they underground people look and human not much difference, look like also possible. I see that little white man's eyes are quite like a previous Chinese star, what is it called ...... anyway, the very red one, my former girlfriend also likes him to come."

The teenager smiled dangerously, "Just wait until you kill him, gouge his eyes out and take your time to see what it looks like."

The young woman glared hard at the three men and brushed herself up to leave the booth and walk out of the pandemonium of the Banana Tavern.

Similar situations are occurring in many other places.

Some teams are three people, some are four. They gathered to discuss their response for the next day.

The "One Fast Man" ability was so unbelievable that Tang Mo was able to throw off everyone's trail, and even worked with Fu Wenduo to capture two players. On the first day, they managed to hide the big earthworm, catching 21 players by surprise.

Because of his improved physical condition and lack of need for sleep, Fu Wenduo sat by his cage and looked down at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking. Tang Mo saw that he didn't move for half a day and thought that he had fallen asleep with his helmet on. He gently walked to the cage and looked down at the huge earthworm.

The earthworm's movement against the cage stops, and the big ugly, ugly, ugly earthworm turns its extremely ugly head towards Tang Mo as if looking at his face, trying to recognize who he is.

Tang Mo stood still, letting Big Earthworm look at him. The earthworm cocked its head and looked at him for half a day. Suddenly, it rubbed its head against the steel bars of the cage, as if it wanted to touch Tang Mo.

It seems to have recognized it. Tang Mo reached out her hand and touched the big earthworm's head, while secretly thinking that if she got another drop of earthworm's tears, would it also become a prop that could heal wounds? As soon as he thought of it, Tang Mo already started to think about how he could get another earthworm's tear. However, at that moment, a voice rang out in the room-

"Who is this underground man, he looks kind of familiar. Ooohhhh so hungry for food. His hands look pretty tasty ......"

Tang Mo: "......"

Brush drew back his hand, and the big earthworm took a bite out of the air.

Tang Mo stared expressionlessly at the big white-eyed earthworm in front of her. Tang Mo didn't wear a mask, it's only been two months and it couldn't recognize its savior and had to eat his hand.

This time, Tang Mo no longer hesitated, he was chopping this earthworm, but also to get another drop of earthworm tears from it, regardless of whether the new tears could heal the wound or not, he had to make this guy cry! It was at this moment that a dull laughter came from his side. Tang Mo turned around to look.

"...... You didn't sleep?"

The oddly shaped Iron Knight wobbles and raises his helmet, looking at Tang Mo : "Seven days without sleep is okay." The implication was that he wasn't going to sleep for the next seven days.

Tang Mo coughed twice, "Now that we've hidden this earthworm. For the first four days those players shouldn't make too much noise, they think that we are the Underlanders, this is Underlander Wang Guo, it's our turf, they won't act rashly and will try to get as much information as they can. Until the last day, it will be the real deciding game. There's no point in hiding. On the seventh day we have to get the big earthworm to the circus. By then, they will know where we are and will come to attack."

Fu Wenduo nods, "Are you going to rest?"

Tang Mo can go without sleep for a long time, but going without sleep for seven days in a row can be stressful for him. He said, "I'll take a nap first."

Fu Wenduo: "I'll keep watch."

Tang Mo walked straight over to Fu Wenduo and sat down next to him, he leaned against a crumbling pillar and closed his eyes to sleep. He needed to stay with his teammate, the closer the better, so that in case of a surprise attack, the two could move together.

In the darkness of the night, the big earthworm banged the cage for a while and slowly fell asleep, snoring.

Tang Mo was originally sleeping against a pillar, and Fu Wenduo was sitting on the side. His entire body was armed and wrapped in armor so tightly that he couldn't see any skin. Suddenly, a head leaned on his shoulder. Fu Wenduo was slightly stunned. In the next second, he calmly reached out his hand and pushed Tang Mo's face back.

Tang Mo: "......"

Tang Mo actually woke up when he accidentally touched Fu Wenduo's shoulder. He had already had enough sleep and didn't want to go back to sleep, but Fu Wenduo had pushed his head back so gently that his eyes fluttered, and he didn't really feel like waking up at this time, it would be too embarrassing.

Tang Mo's head leaned against the pillar, the corners of her mouth twitching as she continued to feign sleep.

The night passes, and before the sun pours down on the earth, Tang Mo rises with open eyes, takes the black cloth from the floor, and covers the cage directly with it.

Just because he tried to eat Tang Mo's hand before, Tang Mo won't give him anything to eat for three days and he has to starve.

When the next day came, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo carefully examined their surroundings. They didn't find any sign of the players, it seemed that the players hadn't found the small building yet and hadn't spotted them.

Tang Mo: "The initial plan worked. No surprise, they won't find this place." This place was too far away from where Tang Mo had disappeared, almost half of Wang Guo Capital. "What's really important in this game is not how to beat those 21 players, but to complete the mission and send the big earthworm to the circus while saving our lives. The bottom line is how we're going to get the big earthworm to the circus in six days."

In fact, Tang Mo had never thought of actually having to fight 21 players face-to-face. He had the confidence to break out from the attack of 19 players (two of whom had already been captured by them), but to really defeat that many players, his certainty was only 10%. With the addition of a Fu Wenduo, it was 30% certainty.

What he wanted all along was to win the game.

This game has been half successful up to this point, and the last half is day seven.

Tang Mo had already come up with an idea: "When I was clearing that S-rank copy, I realized that this earthworm has a characteristic. It's very good at drilling holes, and it's very fast at making holes in the ground. In this way, in these six days we can ......"

A clear child's voice interrupted Tang Mo's words, and he listened to the voice with dismay as his face slowly sank.

"Ding Dong! As the most powerful detectives of the underground people Wang Guo, the clever Mr. A and Mr. B played those stupid little thieves for fools.21 human players were infuriated, they didn't know that Mr. A and Mr. B never put them in their eyes. O stupid humans, is this your tactic?"

"Triggers the effect 'Disdain from a Famous Detective'."

"'Despise from the Famous Detective': every three days, at 12:00 noon, 21 players can learn information about the location of monsters."

"Dingdong! O teenager from Earth, bravely defeat the enablers Mr. A and Mr. B and save the poor monsters!"

Fu Wenduo: "......"

Tang Mo: "......"
