With all due respect to the Black Tower, I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone in the above 10 districts are trash.

The sky is getting darker and darker. At 4:30 p.m., the sun was already setting. A shining white five-pointed star blossomed in the western sky, merging with the rounded sunset. Tang Mo stood on the small building, staring at this strange five-pointed star. Downstairs, several members of the Nanking group had already assembled.

"That's the signal of Team Xiao." Fu Wen sounded shocked, Tang Mo turned his head to see that his little friend had run out at an unknown time, looking at the pentagram in the west. He explained, "Previously, there was a player in Nanking who exchanged information with our Nanking team using a very cheap prop as payment. His prop was this flare. There are four of them in total, and the two captains of the five-pointed star gave them to Team Xiao, so that their Raider Team could contact them directly in case of an emergency. This month, Xiao team is still the first time to use this flare ...... He will not have an accident, right?"

Fu Wenduo's voice was calm: "There was time to send out a flare, which means it can still be delayed, and it's not fatal. And this is Nanking."

Hearing his big brother's words, Fu Wen nodded his head, as if he had eaten a pill of peace of mind.

Fu Wen Sheng quickly went downstairs to join his teammates. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo followed behind him, not going all the way over, and stood at a distance looking at the dozen or so members of the Nanking group. There were a total of forty-three members in the Nanjing group, and twenty-six of them were out participating in the replica game and hadn't returned. The seventeen people in front of them were all the members of the Nanjing Group.

Chai Rong said, "Xiao Jitong has sent a signal, so he must have something to call us to. In this case, Xiao Rong and I will take a few people with us while you guys stay here." He ordered ten players to stay where they were, while the other six went with him to find Xiao Jitong.

The young woman standing beside Chai Rong pondered for a moment and calmly said, ''The fact that Team Xiao was able to send out a signal flare means that it has nothing to do with the Black Tower Game, and that he ran into something else. It's most likely a stowaway. You guys guard the base, I'll be with the captain, and we'll send someone back to report no matter what the situation is in an hour. Assuming no one comes back, you guys run."

Fu Wen Sheng was one of those ten people who were left behind, he wanted to open his mouth to say something when he heard this, but his mouth opened and closed.

Someone asked curiously, "We run?"

The woman nodded, "Even the captain can not cope with the stowaway ...... you guys still hurry to run more practical."

The Nanking group determined their next actions with great speed, and within a minute, Chai Rong and the other seven players set off in full gear, heading in the direction where the flare had been launched. The rest of the players weren't idle either, they began to organize all the useful props in the organization, in case a powerful enemy really appeared, they needed to be the first to respond.

Fu Wen Sheng walked back and looked at Fu Wenduo: "Something may have happened. Two months ago, a group of stowaways attacked the base, and we lost more than a dozen members before we were able to repel the stowaways. 大哥，唐...... "声音停住， Fu Wen sounded unsure of what to call Tang Mo, he blinked awkwardly, and finally just gave up: ''I intend to avoid the wind first. If even Team Xiao finds it difficult, it must be very troublesome. This is a matter for the Nanking team, I'm not too good at avoiding it ......"

The implication is that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo do not belong to the Nanjing Group and that they can now leave.

Fu Wen Sheng said so on his lips, but his eyes kept staring expectantly at Fu Wenduo. he looked at his big brother seriously, without a trace of doubt in his eyes. Although Fu Wen Sheng had always bullied him when he was young, and when he grew up, he couldn't raise his head because of Fu Wenduo's name, Fu Wenduo was not a person who would run away from the battlefield. His big brother was very reliable and responsible, there was absolutely no way he would leave him behind, and even he would not leave the Nanking group behind.

However, before Fu Wen sounded, a male voice rang out, "I'm going to check it out."

As the words fell, Fu Wenduo and Fu Wen Sound turned their heads in unison and looked at Tang Mo. Tang Mo calmly said, "Xiao Jitong and I have had contact with him, and the Great Huo Ji Game is already considered to be quite critical, but he wasn't overly tense from start to finish. He is a very calm person, and would not be in a hurry to release a flare if something very important had not happened." After a pause, he looked at Fu Wen Sheng, "You also said just now that it's been a month since you got the flare, and this is the first time he's used it?"

Fu Wen Sound froze for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this is the first time Team Xiao has used it."

"That would be interesting. Like your captain said, the fact that he was able to set off a flare means that he's not in a copy right now, and the tricky thing has nothing to do with the Black Tower game. I don't think he let off the flare because of the stowaway."

Fu Wen Sheng frowned, "That's something that perhaps you don't know, Team Xiao's psychic ability is very practical, but his force isn't very high. If he really encounters a powerful stowaway, he most likely won't be able to beat them, and can only set off a flare in the nick of time to find us over."

Before Tang Mo could reply, Fu Wenduo said, "Given his level of caution, his supernatural ability is not offensive, and he doesn't have a strong ability to defend himself, then he must never act alone."

Fu Wen sounded, "Yes, Team Xiao has been operating with Sister Ningning. Sister Ningning is very powerful, only a little bit worse than the captain."

"So he can't run away, won't he let Ningning escape and come out to report?"

Fu Wen sounded stunned, and soon he thought, "What if even Ningning-sama can't run out?"

Tang Mo laughed, "Then he would be even less likely to release a flare. The fact that Ningning couldn't even escape shows that the enemy is stronger than anyone can imagine. The Nanking group may not be useful even if they go there, instead they may drag themselves in as well. When Xiao Jitong encounters a powerful smuggler, he will choose to take the rear and let Ningning escape to send a message. Then he would have asked the NJ team and the Raiders to join forces and formulate a plan before acting. This kind of reckless and unplanned thing, he won't do."

Fu Wen sounded carefully thinking about Tang Mo's words, and he did not refute them. Tang Mo was right.

Tang Mo : "Let's go and find out what's going on."

Under the sinking sunlight, Fu Wen Sheng had just figured out what happened when he looked up and saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo striding out of the Nanking Group's base gate, heading in the direction of the pentagram flare. He hurriedly followed, "Big brother, take me with you, I also want to see what's going on."

Fu Wenduo stopped in his steps and looked down at Fu Wen Sheng. When Fu Wen Sheng was looked at by him, his whole body straightened up and walked forward seriously. Fu Wenduo looked at him steadily for a while, the corner of his mouth hooked, and in the end, he did not stop him, and the three of them walked together towards the place where the flare was fired.

There was one thing Tang Mo didn't say, but he knew: Fu Wenduo understood what he meant.

Neither Tang Mo nor Fu Wenduo would have chosen to walk over and see what was going on for no reason, if only because Xiao Jitong was the one who had fired the flare, and they had been in contact with Xiao Jitong. Their curiosity was not that great. The real reason ......

Tang Mo lifted his head and gazed intently at the huge black tower suspended in the sky.

"Too close ...... " Tang Mo murmured.

Fu Wen voice didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What did you say?"

Tang Mo shook her head, "Nothing."

Fu Wen didn't know Tang Mo very well, and his impression of Tang Mo was still "that powerful player who somehow managed to kill a psychopath, and who looked terrifying and unpredictable". He didn't ask any more questions.

Fu Wenduo heard this but glanced at Tang Mo, he hooked the corner of his lips and followed Tang Mo's gaze to the Black Tower.

Xiao Jitong fired the flare too close to the Black Tower.

The dazzling five-pointed star is sandwiched between the red sunset and the black tower, with the sunset on its left and the black tower on its right. The position is so subtle that one has to wonder if Xiao Jitong's emergency has anything to do with the Black Pagoda.

It's best if it doesn't matter.

Tang Mo thought secretly in his heart.

The Nanjing group's base was some distance away from Xinjiekou, and after walking for half an hour, the three of them successfully arrived at the bottom of the Black Tower. Seeing Fu Wen Sheng, Chai Rong was full of surprise and immediately went up to him and asked, "Xiao Sheng, why are you here?"

Fu Wen said with a straight face, "I followed my brother here."

Fu Wenduo raised one eyebrow and swept a glance at Fu Wen Sheng. Fu Wen Sheng subconsciously shrunk his neck, but he quickly raised his chest again.

Chai Rong: "......"

"Having a brother is different." Muttering, Chai Rong was unable to reprimand Fu Wen Sheng in front of Fu Wenduo.

In the center of Xinjiekou Square is a tall statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and above the statue, a dark tower-like object is suspended in the sky at a height of 100 meters. Xiao Jitong and Ningning stood below the black tower, and when they saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, Ningning hugged the silver □□□□ in his arms, and Xiao Jitong was surprised for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Fu."

Tang Mo walked over and said directly, "Something happened. Is it related to the Black Tower?"

Xiao Jitong didn't wonder why Tang Mo would know that things were related to the Black Tower, he led Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo outside the square. Standing on the road, he looked up at the Black Pagoda. The brilliant sunlight shone on the Black Pagoda, but all the light was absorbed by the pagoda, so there was no light at all. Tang Mo carefully observed this black tower, after looking at it for a long time, he was about to ask what was going on, when suddenly he had a glance.

Eyes slowly widened, and in the next moment, Tang Mo exclaimed, "What's that?!"

Xiao Jitong nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's the one."

Only to see that on the massive body of the black tower, three extremely small white points of light had suddenly appeared. These three dots of light were so small that not a single trace of abnormality could be seen without a closer look. The black tower was a hundred meters tall and wide, and these three dots were only the size of a human fingernail cap. If Tang Mo's eyesight hadn't improved, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to see these three small dots of light that were constantly flickering.

As if half an ellipsis on a computer, from left to right, these three little white dots of light light up in sequence. They all light up, then they all dim. Then they light up again from the far left, and so on.

After observing for a while, Tang Mo looked at Xiao Jitong with a solemn expression, "What is that?" There was no more surprise in his tone, it was all solemnity.

The smile on Xiao Jitong's face faded as well, "I don't know."

Three little points of light that kept lighting up on the black tower, what was it? No one knows. But it was a bigger deal than the incoming stowaways.

Three months ago, the Black Tower suddenly announced that it was going to be updated to version 2.0, and since then, there were more Rally Copies and Reality Copies, and each player must also attack the tower once in three months. Now the Black Tower was experiencing another anomaly.

Tang Mo immediately thought, "Is it only the Black Pagoda in Nanjing that has this, or do all the Black Pagodas in the world have it?" Tang Mo had taken a close look at the Black Pagoda in Shanghai before he came to Nanjing and did not find this strange spot of light. Ninety percent of the possibilities were that it really wasn't there, and ten percent of the possibilities were that he hadn't found it.

Chai Rong : "I've sent someone to Zhenjiang to see what's going on, and Xiao Jitong suspects the same thing."

With everything that could be done done, everyone stood still and silently watched the three dots of light constantly pulsating on the black tower.

"Why did you guys find it?" A low voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Jitong turned his head to look. He looked at Fu Wenduo and after a moment laughed, "It's a coincidence."

"It's because of me."

The crowd turned their heads in unison to look at Ningning.

Ningning had been standing on the sidelines without saying anything during the discussion earlier. She hugged her □□□ and coldly said, "Every time I survive a Black Tower game, I come here to see this Black Tower. Team Xiao is accompanying me here. This time, the copy we cleared was close to here, so we didn't return to the base, but came straight here. I look at it very carefully, so I saw those three dots."

"When was the last time you came to see the Black Tower?" Tang Mo said suddenly.

Ningning froze, "About ten days ago. It was after we cleared the Big Huo Ji game, and I came over to look at it myself at lunch."

Tang Mo : "When you came to see it ten days ago, you didn't see those three spots?"

Ningning: "No."

Tang Mo: "Are you sure you're reading this right?"

Ningning cuts to the chase, "There's no way I could be wrong. I sit here and watch for an hour at a time before I leave."

Tang Mo sensed something was wrong and looked at Xiao Jitong, who smiled at him and shook his head. Tang Mo did not ask any more questions.

Everyone has their own fetishes, just like Tang Mo likes to kick the monolith underneath the Black Tower after he's been screwed over by it. It's not impossible that Ningning likes to sit and look at the Black Tower.

All of a sudden things were at a standstill again.

"Right now we don't know exactly when these three spots appeared and if they are only found in Nanjing." Xiao Jitong analyzed, "But there's no doubt that these three points are definitely unusual. Chai Rong, get someone to block off this neighborhood and don't let any other players in for now."

Chai Rong nodded.

Tang Mo : "At least ten days ago, these three points were not there. That is, on February 23, there were no these three points ......"

The sun slowly set and the sky darkened. As the sunlight disappeared into the horizon, the three small glittering bright spots gradually became clearer. Still hard to spot, but not completely invisible.

Tang Mo : "Find someone! Determine exactly when these three points appeared."

Chai Rong froze, "Looking for someone?"

Xiao Jitong had already understood Tang Mo's meaning: "Yes, looking for people! During the daytime these three dots are hard to spot, but at night it becomes much easier to see them. Chai Rong, go find someone. Look for players who live in this neighborhood. Nanking is a city different from other places, where players live a more stable life, and there must be players who live in the same place all the time and don't change their landing spots. We can ask them if they have seen these three points, when they saw it. This way, we can know exactly when these three dots appeared."

Without delay, Chai Rong arranged for members of the Nanking team to look for players living near the Black Tower.

Xiao Jitong is right, in any other city, this approach would not be feasible. Because now players all over the world are like birds of a feather, they are always on the run to find food and water. But NJ is different.

Players generally like to congregate near the bases of large organizations that are more secure, such as the large shopping malls where the Atak organization is located, where many preppers have landed. Other than that, it was a city like Nanjing that was too stable. Players didn't need to find a large organization to rely on, they could just find a place to land.

The Nanjing group was very prestigious in Nanjing, and after half an hour, they found more than twenty players who lived near the Black Tower.

Xiao Jitong told them briefly what had happened, and they all shook their heads in unison, stating that they had never seen those three dots. They hadn't even looked that closely.

After another ten minutes, Ningning brought back a fourteen-year-old middle school girl. This girl was very short, and when she saw the members of the Nanjing Group and the Raiders Group, she was scared and curious. When Ningning told him the identities of Chai Rong and Xiao Jitong, her eyes lit up and she said, "...... You're Team Chai and Team Xiao? I've seen that before!"

Xiao Jitong : "When did you see that?!"

The female junior high school student recalled, "Nine days ago I entered the 279th copy, and just came out. The night before I entered the copy when I looked at the black tower I seem to have seen some kind of bright spot that flickered above the black tower, but I'm not sure if it's these three little dots ...... The neighborhood building I live in is a little far away from here."

The crowd had just raised a little hope, which was quickly dashed again.

Xiao Jitong pulled the girl aside and questioned her carefully about every detail of what she had seen. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walked farther away from the Black Tower's coverage area. Because the three points were close to the Black Tower's spire, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo found the tallest office building in the neighborhood, went to the rooftop, and stood closer to observe the Black Tower.

Tang Mo has seen three Black Towers in all.

The Black Pagoda in Suzhou, the Black Pagoda in Shanghai and this Black Pagoda in Nanjing.

Each of the black towers looked exactly the same from the outside, there was no difference.

Looking at the black tower, a strange feeling arose in Tang Mo's heart. It was as if he had returned to four months ago. During those six months, he had sat by the window of the library countless times, turning his head in boredom after finishing the work at hand to take a look at the black tower. At that time, the black tower was still a virtual shadow, untouchable.

Now it pressed heavily against the earth, and three tiny points of light flickered constantly at the tips of its towers.

Settling down, Tang Mo said, "Seventy percent probability, that girl didn't look at it wrong. She's an ordinary reservist, thinking more about how to survive at a time like this, and wouldn't be in the mood to see the Black Tower. But she's the only one who said she saw the point of light on the Black Tower. Ningning came here ten days ago and didn't see the point of light. She also saw the three dots ten days ago at night." After a pause, Tang Mo said the number: "February 23rd."

Tang Mo furrowed his brows, pondering what was so special about this day. At that moment, only Fu Wenduo could be heard whispering, "One hundred days since Earth came online."

Tang Mo abruptly froze as he quickly turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo faintly said, "On November 15th, Earth came online. By February 23rd, it will be exactly one hundred days."

Tang Mo creds.

Yes, February 23rd, exactly one hundred days after the Black Tower announced that Earth was online. If we must say there is anything special about this day, this should be it. But ......

"Are there special games for a hundred days?" Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo, "There was the Christmas Eve game at Christmas. The New Year and Spring Festival after that, the Black Tower didn't have any reaction. Assuming that these three points of light really have something to do with the one hundred days that Earth has been online, it's now March 5th, and ten days have passed. Ten days ...... So why ten days?" Ten days had passed, and there was no reaction from the Black Tower.

Fu Wenduo hooked the corners of his lips and looked fixedly at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo looked at him, wanting to hear an answer from him. But after a long time, Fu Wenduo still smiled at him and did not answer.

Tang Mo: "...... Fu Wenduo?"

Fu Wenduo: "I don't know."

Tang Mo: "......"

It's as if the teacher is watching the student eagerly in class, waiting for the student to give an answer. But I never expected the student to say "I don't know" so bluntly. Although there is nothing wrong with Fu Wenduo's statement, Tang Mo feels that there is something strange about him. After spending a lot of time with this person, I always feel that he knows everything. At least on some questions, Fu Wenduo could always give alternative answers.

Tang Mo's thinking is generally neat, organized and logical. Fu Wenduo, on the other hand, can always think and do something unexpected. This kind of wide-open and wide-open way of thinking is extremely aggressive, sharp and impactful. That's why he and Fu Wenduo have a tacit understanding of each other: they can complement each other and think of things that the other hasn't thought of.

Like him and Victor, they had very different styles when it came to bridge. Tang Mo was more orthodox and straightforward, and Victor was more deceptive and strange. Instead, the two work together and make up for every shortcoming by being meticulous and flawless.

Tang Mo's heart stirred slightly as she remembered that name in her mind.

"Tang Mo?"

Suddenly being called by name, Tang Mo shook his head to put the strange feeling aside. He said, "Perhaps Xiao Jitong has already thought about the connection between February 23rd and the hundred days of Earth's on-line. Let's go down and exchange information with them first, and then we can think together about how ...... "what's going on with these three points.

The voice ended abruptly.

Fu Wenduo violently reached out his hand, wrapped it around Tang Mo's shoulder, and embraced his face from behind him. As the hot palms of his hands covered his face, Tang Mo froze in place in dismay, and his breath caught in his throat. At that moment, he felt Fu Wenduo pull his face to the side.

As if making way for something.

Tang Mo snapped back, "What's wrong?"

Fu Wenduo's eyes were fixed on Tang Mo's back. Tang Mo sensed something wrong, and just as he wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, Fu Wenduo's other hand was already on his shoulder. Fu Wenduo had one hand on the right side of Tang Mo's face, the other on his shoulder, and both hands were slightly exerting force, causing Tang Mo to turn around.

"Stopped."

The sky was dark, and an icy wind blew from afar, rolling across the rooftop floor. Fu Wenduo's voice rang in Tang Mo's ears, and his heart gave a start. Immediately, Tang Mo looked in the direction Fu Wenduo turned his body, and after seeing clearly, his lips slightly opened.

"...... stopped?!"

Below the black tower, Ningning suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice, "Stop."

Xiao Jitong was questioning the junior high school girl, when he heard this he hurriedly looked at Ningning, then he ran to the outside of the square as fast as he could and looked up at those three tiny white dots of light. Only to see that at the highest point of the Black Tower, those three tiny white dots that had been flashing with light suddenly stopped and stopped flashing.

Three white dots settled on the dark, black tower, no longer pulsing, just jutting out across the top.

A strong sense of danger welled up in Tang Mo's heart, and his eyes swept over a western clock in the distant clock tower. On the clock's dial, the hour hand was at the 6 position, and the minute hand was about to reach 12, just one small space away.

17:59.

"Hurry up and leave Nanking!" Tang Mo exclaimed. This thought surged inexplicably in his mind, he didn't know why he suddenly thought of this, but he vaguely felt that his judgment was not wrong. This was the supernatural effect of the super-intelligent mind belonging to Chen Shanshan, and for every thing he judged, there was about a 10% probability of judging it correctly.

Fu Wenduo let go of his hand on Tang Mo's face, he had intended to ask Tang Mo the reason, but looking at Tang Mo's solemn expression, he did not ask.

"Good."

Tang Mo immediately turned around and planned to run downstairs, but Fu Wenduo directly took his hand, "Go straight over."

Tang Mo looked at him in shock, and soon he saw Fu Wenduo holding him around the waist, almost as if he were carrying him on his shoulders. Before Tang Mo could react, Fu Wenduo had already leapt over three skyscrapers with him in his arms, moving away from the Black Tower.

Tang Mo was stunned by this desperate act of flying around in the air. When he reacted, he was about to break away when suddenly, a child's voice rang out over Nanjing. At the same time, this voice also resounded across the land of China. Hundreds of crisp children's voices hummed a familiar melody in unison; it didn't sing the lyrics, but Tang Mo realized after listening for a while, "The Painter?"

It's the melody of "Powder Puff".

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stopped at the roof of a building not far away, and the two of them gazed at the huge dark tower. Only to see the black tower's body shimmering with a white light, as if it were small stars, constantly twinkling. The light wasn't very blinding, but it made people feel very eerie, matching the singing children's voices that were spreading across the sky. The cold evening breeze blew by, Tang Mo clenched her fingers.

After humming "The Painter" once, the white light abruptly stopped.

"Dingdong! On March 5, 2018, the 10 regions of China are confirmed to open an extra copy of 'The Endbringer's Trash Sweeping Game'."

"Rules of the game--"

"First, from 18:00 on March 5, 2018 to 6:00 on March 6, 2018, all players who have set foot in WAC 6, WAC 49, WAC 194 ...... WAC 1002 are considered to be players in that region and participate in the game. "

"Second, the game will be played from 18:00 to 06:00 the following day in the above ten districts."

"Third, a group of rabbitheads will appear every hour. Killing a rabbithead earns you a badge."

"Fourth, 11 garbage disposal stations were established in WAC 6, and five garbage disposal stations were established in WAC 49. ...... Six garbage disposal stations were established in WAC 1002."

"Fifth, pass the game by sending your SURPRISE to the garbage disposal."

"Sixth, each player may only enter the dump station once."

"Seventh, the player who passes the game can get a right to rest once, and can attack the tower only once within six months from now."

"Eighth, the loser immediately enters the Tower Attack game, with the difficulty of the game in hard mode."

"Ninth, announce the list of ten districts. Huaxia District 6: Nanjing, Huaxia District 49: Dongying ...... Huaxia District 1002: Guyuan."

"Ding Dong! With all due respect to the Black Tower, I'm not targeting anyone, I'm saying that everyone in the above ten districts is trash."
