Nanjing is too far away, to go or not to go?

The rabbitheads were extremely fast, from the time they appeared to the time they disappeared, everything happened within five seconds. The rabbitheads nimbly passed through the high-rise buildings, and in the blink of an eye, not a single rabbithead could be seen in the vicinity of Xinjiekou Square.

Tang Mo looked down at the wooden badge in his hand, and turned to Xiao Jitong, who handed it over, "When you kill a rabbit, you can get a badge like this, with the letter 'S' on it." Xiao Jitong received the badge, and the members of the Nanking and Raider groups carefully examined the lines on the badge. Tang Mo : "We don't know what this letter means for now, but the fifth rule of the game, players can pass the game by putting SURPRISE in the garbage disposal station."

When he saw the badge, Xiao Jitong realized what Tang Mo meant: "It's a game of collecting badges. If you kill a rabbit head person, you can get a badge. If you collect all eight badges and spell out "surprise", you can pass the game." He paused and said, "This is just a guess. He paused and said, "This is just a guess. The rabbit-headed man's attack power just now wasn't strong, with our strength we won't be injured by him, but catching him will be a bit difficult. He ran too fast. And ......"

Xiao Jitong looks to Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo's voice was calm, "They possess the ability to break free of props. The rope I just used is a Black Tower prop, and things bound by it will not be broken free." Fu Wenduo spoke a bit vaguely, and didn't exactly tell the players of the two Nanking groups about his strength, he just said, "The way to get the badge is to kill the Rabbit Headman, but the moment you kill him, he'll turn into the badge. No one can catch him."

Xiao Jitong calmly asked, "Are you sure that none of us can catch him?"

Fu Wenduo: "OK."

The two of them appeared to be playing a riddle, causing Chai Rong and the others beside them to be confused for a while. Xiao Jitong was staring at Fu Wenduo, trying to get some more information out of him. But Fu Wenduo did not speak. Xiao Jitong's relationship with them was not at a level where he could give up the truth, Fu Wenduo did not want to reveal the function of the rope prop, he only needed Xiao Jitong to know: no one could catch the Rabbit Head Man, and the only way to get the badge was to kill him.

The crowd studied the badge for a while longer and finally returned it to Fu Wenduo.

It was an extremely ordinary wooden badge, as if it had been carved by a beginner with a knife from a random piece of wood. The rounded edges of the wood were rough and the letter "S" on the badge was carved crookedly.

The rabbit-heads have all run away now, Tang Mo said, "They were very scattered when they fled. Although I'm not sure if this is the only place where rabbit-heads have appeared, perhaps a group of rabbit-heads have also appeared in other parts of Nanjing. But their number is very small, just now there seems to be only a few hundred Rabbitheads. I don't recommend that we gather together to look for rabbitheads."

Xiao Jitong agreed, "I also agree. Killing a Rabbit Headman is the only way to get a badge, and if we look for Rabbit Headmen together, the search will be smaller, and we won't be able to distribute the badges when we get them. The rabbitheads are not too strong, so it's better to divide into small teams of three to four people to search."

The members of the NJT followed Xiao Jitong's advice. Xiao Jitong and Ningning plan to go back to the Raiders' base and meet up with Xiao Qiao and the others. Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo were also planning to look for the Rabbitheads and collect the badges themselves. At least for now, all they can do is "kill the Rabbitheads and collect the badges".

Fu Wenduo looks down at the short boy.

Fu Wen Sheng hesitated for a moment, "I'll join the captain. Me, Captain, Sister Rong, and Brother Howe have always cleared the Black Tower game together, and we'll work better together as a group."

Fu Wenduo's dark gaze was fixed on Fu Wen Sheng. The child tensed up, fearing that Fu Wenduo would not allow him to move with the Nanking group, and insisted on pulling him to his side. However, Fu Wenduo merely looked at him and turned around, leaving with Tang Mo. Before he left, he dropped a sentence, and Fu Wen sounded relieved after half a day.

He recalled the words and repeated them in a whisper, "Now that you've made a decision, take responsibility ......"

"Lower your voice and go." Chai Rong raised his voice.

Fu Wen voice: "Coming, Captain!"

Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo soon leave Xinjiekou Square as they follow the subway line in search of the Rabbit Head Man.

In the darkness of the night, players in a hurry could be seen from time to time. When they saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, they all stared at them warily, but there was no conflict. This was Nanjing, and even if a large-scale reality copy game suddenly opened up, players would not immediately panic and kill each other.

After going solo, Tang Mo asked bluntly, "What's tied up in that rope that can't be broken free of its own accord?"

A direct guess, surprisingly guessed about eight or nine. The corner of Fu Wenduo's mouth curved up, ''Pretty much. The specific function is that once the rope binds something, it can't be untied within ten minutes. I can't untie the rope either." After a pause, he added, "This is the law of causality in action."

Tang Mo was startled in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said, ''With the law of causality in effect, the Rabbit Head Man broke free of your rope. This means that he perhaps also possesses a kind of karmic law ...... Does it mean that the Black Tower has given him a kind of karmic law that can never be bound by anything? That's why we can't possibly have a chance to catch him, we can only keep killing him and getting badges."

Fu Wenduo : "It should be. And his law of karma is more advanced than my rope."

Any prop or psychic ability that has anything to do with the law of karma can become very serious. For example, Tang Mo's ability to change names. The person whose name was changed by him would, within three days, because of the Law of Karma's effect, both those who knew him, and those who didn't, would think that he was called by a different name. Even when the Black Tower announced Tang Mo's attack on the tower, it was affected by the Law of Karma and reported the name "Mo Mo".

Once the action has taken place, the result is irreversible, and this is the terrible thing about the law of cause and effect.

Yet it is like the argument of contradiction. When the two meet, the spear that can break all shields and the shield that can block all spears, one of them will always be broken, and its law of cause and effect will cease to exist. So if Fu Wenduo binds a rabbit-head with a rope of "absolutely unravelable" causality to a rabbit-head with "absolutely unbindable" causality, the causality of one of the two will be invalidated.

Obviously, it is the causal law of the rope that is being suppressed.

This speculation caused Tang Mo's face to gradually sink. The Rabbit Headman was incredibly difficult to catch and extremely fast, faster than any player. It was difficult to kill him because of his dexterity. But for Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, and even the players in the Nanking and Raider groups, the problem wasn't that big. But for the other players in Nanking ......

Tang Mo's face changed, and finally he sighed, "So, it's a crap sweep game. Players with a certain level of strength can kill the Rabbitheads and get badges. But players with subpar strength, they might not even be able to block the claws and whistles of the Rabbit Headman. Players with too little strength would even be killed back by the rabbit-headed man. After this game, players were screened away. Assuming that the rabbit-headed man could be caught, they might still be able to have a group of people join hands to lay a trap, catch the rabbit-headed man, and obtain the badge. But the rabbithead can't be caught, only killed."

Tang Mo can kill a rabbithead alone, but ten regular NJ players might be able to kill one.

One badge, divided among ten.

At first it was fine, there were a lot of rabbit heads and players could still see hope. But as the clock ticks down to the last hour, what happens in that hour ......

Tang Mo bowed his head and thought carefully about the nine rules of the game given by the Black Tower. He did not believe that the only way to pass the game was to "kill the rabbit and collect all the badges". If that was the case, the Black Tower's behavior of filtering out the "trash" was too obvious, and it hardly gave any chance to those players who were at a lower level.

Tang Mo said, "If you don't have enough force, you're bound to fail, so Black Tower doesn't even need to give such a complicated game. It could have forced those poor players to attack the tower directly," Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had both been victimized by the Black Tower. Tang Mo looked up to Fu Wenduo : "It must have designed this game to give these underpowered players a chance to survive. What is it ......"

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo's pensive demeanor with a strange glint in his eyes. After a long time, he was about to open his mouth when suddenly, his expression turned cold and he raised his head to look at a small six-story building not far away. Tang Mo also turned around in an instant and looked towards that building.

On the roof of the small building, a pair of scarlet eyes stared directly at Tang Mo's Fu Wenduo. the three gazes collided in the air, and the rabbit-headed man twisted his head and ran away, leaping from building to building. Tang Mo stared at his feet and immediately chased after him. Fu Wenduo separates from Tang Mo at the intersection and circles around to the back of the block.

When they found the rabbit-headed man, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were a hundred meters away from him. The rabbit-headed man was not sure of his direction and just kept jumping around, giving Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo the possibility of catching up with him.

As Tang Mo runs around a corner, he looks up and comes face to face with three young women. These three women screamed in fear like birds of prey. As they screamed, seven or eight more people came running from all directions.

At that moment, a majestic rabbit-headed man flew out of the top of the building and leapt to another building.

"Ah! Rabbitheads!"

The newly appeared few people were closer to the rabbit-headed man, and they hurriedly chased after him. Tang Mo's eyes froze as he raced up. Only to see that the seven or eight people surrounded the rabbit-headed man in the center, who let out an angry gibbering sound to intimidate them, not allowing them to come closer. Some of these people were holding small knives, and some had a gun in their hands.

I don't know who timidly shouted "kill him", and the rest of them rushed to attack. The rabbit-headed man's sharp claws left a scar on their bodies, and his ear-piercing whistling sound made these players dizzy. But there were more of them after all, and the rabbit-headed man failed to escape successfully several times. Finding an opportunity, the rabbit-headed man stomped on the ground with both legs and leapt out of the encirclement.

A player raised his hand|gun in horror and aimed it at the rabbithead's chest.

The bullets had just been fired, but a black figure jumped up from the air, leaping over the heads of these players, and flew to the rabbit-headed man's side. The small pink Yang San stabbed through the rabbit's back and out of his heart. Tang Mo slightly sidesteps his head to avoid the bullet, which is shot strangely crooked. He landed firmly on the ground, and in his hand appeared a wooden medallion with the letter "E" engraved on it.

The few players looked at him in dismay, as if they couldn't understand where this man had appeared from. Their eyes slowly moved down to the wooden badge in Tang Mo's palm.

One whispered, "Here's the badge ......"

The gazes of the crowd became greedy, and someone couldn't help but take a step forward.

Bang!

The speaker stepped back in fear, and where he had just stretched out his foot, a deep black bullet mark appeared. Not far away, Fu Wenduo moves his fingers, and the gun disappears into his hand. Tang Mo looked towards him and walked over to his side with his badge. The two swept the group of players and left together.

Within an hour, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had collected a total of five badges. There were too many players in Nanking, and they only found a total of seven Rabbit Heads. Two of them were killed by other players. Tang Mo didn't grab their badges, but as long as they killed the rabbitheads themselves, Tang Mo wouldn't let go of any of the badges either.

When the second hour came, the black tower announced the appearance of a new rabbit-head. Tang Mo raised his head and stared coldly at the black tower. Beside him, a low voice rang out, ''The people from the Nanking group have said that Nanking has about twenty thousand or less players surviving right now. Everyone must collect at least eight badges, that's 160,000 badges and 160,000 Rabbitheads. There are twelve batches in total, with at least thirteen thousand rabbit-heads placed in each batch."

Tang Mo : "Just now, were there really that many rabbit-heads?"

Fu Wenduo sounded positive: "No."

Under the night, the huge black tower seemed like a blackened monster, suspended in the sky above Nanking, eyeing the war that was going on everywhere in the city. Tang Mo quietly looked at the black tower for a while, he turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo and suddenly asked, "When will those people probably arrive?"

He spoke without a clue, but Fu Wenduo did not inquire and answered directly: "According to the time and distance projection, the nearest ones should be Zhenjiang and Chuzhou, and after that, perhaps the ones from Wuxi and Changzhou will also come. Shanghai is farther away and just might come. Within twelve hours, those that can make it in six hours are likely to come."

"That's ...... Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui."

On the other side of Nanjing City, in front of an abandoned middle school.

Xiao Jitong heard the Black Tower announce the appearance of the second batch of Rabbitheads, he stopped and looked at the huge tower in the distance. Xiao Qiao turns his head to look at him strangely, "Captain?"

Xiao Jitong looked at it for a moment, smiled and shook his head, "Nothing. An hour has passed now?"

Xiao Qiao nods, "Well, it's seven o'clock."

"In an hour's time, the players from Zhenjiang should have already arrived. The next batch of Rabbit Heads, players from Anhui and other places are also likely to arrive. Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's gather the badges we need for ourselves first and hurry up."

Meanwhile, Shanghai Pudong.

Luo Fengcheng sat in his office, looking at a map of the Yangtze River Delta on his desk. His fingers lightly tapped on the word Nanjing, and he used his fingers to compare the distance between the two cities of Nanjing and Shanghai. He was gazing at the map and thinking about something. On the side, Tang Qiao stood silently without uttering a word.

Three minutes later, Luo Fengcheng heaved a sigh of relief and laughed, "We're not going. Shanghai is still too far. If we go there from Shanghai, something might happen on the way, run into some people, and delay the time. By the time we get there it will already be after 0:00, leaving only six hours of game time. We don't know the exact rules of the game, while those people have already been involved in the game for six hours in Nanjing. It didn't pay off."

Tang Qiao wanted to say something else, but seeing Luo Fengcheng's serious look, she closed her mouth and walked out of the office.

Next to the Jixing Temple in Nanjing, in a small unoccupied restaurant. Tang Mo stands behind the door, calmly observing the environment outside.

"One exemption from attacking the tower, this reward is very tempting, especially for players who have been forced to attack the tower by the Black Tower before. The fact that these ten districts were categorized by the Black Tower as the end of the line indicates that the level of players here is very low. By announcing the list of the ten districts to all of China, it wasn't just informing the players of these ten districts that they had entered the game. More so, it's telling players from other districts where they can participate in this sweeping game."

After a pause, Tang Mo continued, "From 18:00 on March 5th to 6:00 am on March 6th, all players who set foot in the ten zones are considered to be participating in the game. This rule ...... is fine as long as you come in during this time period."

Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo's sighing appearance, and the corner of his mouth curved a few times unnoticeably. He said lightly, "Being willing to voluntarily participate in an unknown Black Tower game, there may not be many such players, but they must be strong, ambitious, and ruthless enough. The biggest possibility is a stowaway."

Tang Mo looked up at Fu Wenduo, who also looked at him calmly.

The two stared at each other.

After a long time, Tang Mo laughed, "Go?"

Fu Wenduo curled his lips, "Go."

In the thick of the night, from various places, batch after batch of black silhouettes crept into the Nanking territory. There were still eleven hours left.
