Chapter 130
Night fell and darkness hit the earth. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took the girl's body and quickly left the road, finding an inconspicuous house. They didn't see anybody along the way. There weren't many players surviving in Beijing and it was normal to see no one in five minutes. However, this time all of Beijing seemed to be affected by the stop button as it was completely still.
The huge city had become an empty city. There were less than 100 people who hadn't been forcibly pulled into the tower attack game.
The same thing was happening all over the world.
There were few players left on the planet. Only players who had attacked the tower within three months or participated in the last person trash clearing game weren't forced to attack the tower.
Tang Mo looked at the dark sky outside and opening his flashlight to light up the corpse.
They examined the props and weapons on the girl. There was an ordinary kitchen knife, a police gun and three rounds of bullets. The girl only had a seemingly strange stone prop. Tang Mo looked at the prop and found that it could improve the running speed of the player for a short amount of time. However, it could only be used three times and had been used twice.
Finally, they checked the girl's cause of death again.
It was just like Fu Wenduo's hasty examination. She was killed by a blow to the heart. It was a human technique, not a black tower monster.
Tang Mo handed the stone to Fu Wensheng. This prop did little for him and would be more useful to the child. He looked up at Fu Wenduo with a heavy face. "This is the second dead person. When we saw her, she wasn't dead yet but the murderer was gone. There are two possibilities. First, she did participate in the black tower game but was thrown out before she died. Second, she was killed on Earth."
Fu Wenduo stared at Tang Mo with a certain expression. "It is the second one."
Tang Mo knew that the first possibility was very unlikely. He said, "There is only one problem. The person who killed her is either stronger than you or at least faster than you. He was able to escape in seconds before you arrived and also did it without a trace. He either has a special ability or a prop." Tang Mo answered himself. "He can be invisible."
Fu Wenduo suddenly asked, "Which one do you think it is?"
Tang Mo was slightly startled. He looked into Fu Wenduo's eyes, the two men looking at each other quietly. Fu Wenduo had long guessed that Tang Mo had some type of intellectual ability. Tang Mo didn't elaborate on Chen Shanshan's ability but when he encountered a problem ,he would make guesses based on the super intellectual thinking.
Tang Mo thought for a moment and said seriously, "I don't think it is any of them."
"Then what is it?"
Xiao Fu was also thinking from the side. He didn't wait for Tang Mo to answer as he suddenly said, "Is it related to Mu Hui?"
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo turned to look at him.
Xiao Fu explained, "Big Brother, Brother Tang, look. The invisible killer appeared after the black tower's update error. The timing is a bit much to be a coincidence. There was nothing before and now that person popped up. It is likely to be related to that update error. Of course, there might really be an invisible person following us but he only killed the people around us…" Fu Wensheng trailed off because even he felt it was unlikely.
The invisible enemy appeared a week ago after the update around the Tang Mo trio. He never attacked the Tang Mo trio but killed passing players. Finally, he fled when the Tang Mo trio arrived. What was the point of this? Was it to show off that the person had a special escape skill?
Fu Wensheng spoke his own thoughts. He expected Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo to still discuss it. Who would've expected Tang Mo's expression to slowly sink and for Fu Wenduo to not speak again. The child thought he said something wrong. Then once he thought it over, he understood that if what he said was true, this matter would be very complicated.
The appearance of the invisible man was related to the mysterious 4.0 version of the black tower.
The invisible enemy was the most dangerous enemy. Could it be said that after the black tower's 4.0 version was updated, human players would encounter these invisible enemies?
Fu Wensheng shivered when he thought of this. The child shrank back, not wanting to think about such a terrible thing.
They were hiding in a grocery store. Tang Mo took a tablecloth from the shelf and covered the girl. The trio rested here for the night.
Early the next morning, Tang Mo opened his eyes and went to the window. He looked up at the black tower not far away and counted the numbers.
[26,813,231.]
He whispered the number in a low voice and then repeated the numbers he saw last night.
Approximately 1.5 million people were killed.
The black tower didn't explain the eight digit number but all the players probably knew what it was the moment they saw it. It was either the number of players forced into the tower attack game or the total number of surviving players. One month ago, Xiao Jitong told Tang Mo that there were probably 20,000 players in Nanjing. Before the earth went online, there were around 10 million people in Nanjing. Using this same proportion, the number of surviving humans on Earth was 20 million.
“More than 100 people were killed in 10 seconds. One night passed and it has decreased by 1.5 million…"
“Most of the players forced to attack the tower are those who haven't played the tower games." A low voice was heard behind Tang Mo and he turned to look. Fu Wenduo moved to the window and stared at the black tower. He said, "The first three days is the period when there will be a sharp decline. After three days, the speed will fall."
Tang Mo moved his line of sight and replied in a calm voice, "The real sharp reduction period should be 12 to 24 hours after entering the tower attack game." This was his experience from attacking the tower three times. The tower attack games weren't the same as other games. There were usually one or two side missions before the main mission. There was a 80~90% chance that the main mission wouldn't open for 24 hours.
Fu Wenduo heard the words and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Tang Mo's eyes slowly widened and he stared at the black tower.
He saw that the black tower suspended in mid-air. The bright sun shone on the dark tower and in the centre of the black tower, the white eight digit number was constantly changing. This time, the number wasn't changing in units of tens or hundreds. The digits were changing in units of thousands!
In one minute, the number changed to: 26,381,314。
After 10 minutes, the number became: 24,913,421。
One hour later, the first digit changed from '2' to '1'.
On Earth, the players who didn't need to attack the tower found a safe place and stared silently at the number changing. There was no blood or gunfire, it was just a number decreasing. In this one hour, 10 million people disappeared inside the icy black tower.
The Red Square, Moscow, Russia.
In the heavy snow, a strong bear-like man wrapped in a thick coat saw the number fall from '2' to '1' and turned to leave.
Beijing, the No. 80 school.
Lian Yuzheng was sitting in the corridor of the high school classrooms. She didn't seem afraid that she would fall as she sat on the handrail and watched the number decreasing, her expression not changing.
Nanjing, the new Nanjing Group.
Xiao Jitong stopped looking the moment the number fell to 25 million. Ningning held her crossbow and left to go to the black tower. She looked up at it silently.
Shanghai, the Attack organization.
Last month, Luo Fengcheng had all the players in the organization enter the black tower and complete their tower attack game. He became an official player and found his ability. Since last night, only the members of Attack were left in the mall as well as two players who cleared the first floor.
Luo Fengcheng sat in the office and didn't care about the outside situation. Suddenly, his door was pushed open.
Jack rushed inside. He was constantly gasping and was so anxious that he couldn't speak. There was an ordinary short-haired girl reading a book. Chen Shanshan saw this situation and poured a glass of water, handing over to Jack. She asked, "Was someone killed by an invisible person?"
Jack first nodded before shaking his head.
Luo Fengcheng narrowed his eyes. "What's the situation?"
Jack finally recovered his breath after drinking the water. He spoke quickly in Chinese that had become fluent over the past six months, "Yes, I found a body killed by an invisible person. But this time, cough, I don't want to talk about that. Dr. Luo, the number has changed! Yesterday, you said that the number of the black tower should be the total number of surviving players, which was more than 28 million. Now there are only 19 million players left!"
Luo Fengcheng was stunned.
Chen Shanshan's hand holding the cup also froze in the air.
After a moment, Luo Fengcheng murmured, "It is so fast…" He didn't say anything else as he took a thick stack of papers from the drawer. He read the data in detail before handing it to Jack, calmly ordering, "Find a chance to go to Beijing and look for Tang Mo and Major Fu. This matter is something that no players in Shanghai can solve. Shanshan, you go as well. They need your ability."
Meanwhile, Suzhou, Guanqian Street.
Two foreign men walked down an empty commercial street, looking in a bored manner at the abandoned stores on both sides.
They walked for 10 minutes and didn't see a single person. The blond man couldn't help yelling "Fuck!" before saying angrily, "Where are the people? Why is there no one? Have al the people been killed? Damn, I only have 56 minutes left of rest. Why are there no pigs?"
The brown haired man next to him snorted. "The next break is mine."
The blond man asked in a disdainful manner, "Did you find a big, my dear David?"
As soon as the words finished, the two of them acted. They pricked their ears and listened carefully to the movements around them. A strange and crazy smile appeared on their handsome faces, like a madman who had been bored for three days and suddenly saw food. Their eyes were bright as the stared at the second floor of a specialty store.
The middle-aged man hiding on the second floor quickly retreated from the window and shivered. "What are those two…" Before his words finished, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. The last thing the middle-aged man saw before his death was blond hair. His head separated from his neck and the brown-haired man's roar seemed to be heard.
"Fuck you! Pete, this break is mine. You fucking stole my time!"
The head slowly fell to the ground, everything happening in just one second. The middle-aged man who passed the black tower's first floor didn't think the difference in strength between the two sides would be so big. His head slowly fell to the ground, his eyes staring straight at the blond man's right hand. On the right hand, a red agate bracelet could be seen.
The brown-haired man punched the blond man and the blond man dodged with a smile.
Half a minute later, the two people disappeared from the room, leaving only the body of the middle-aged man.

Chapter 131
Two days later, the Tang Mo trio found a foothold and continued to observe the black tower.
They didn't go out for the past few days as they hid in a safe place to watch the black tower. After the sharp decrease to 19 million on the first day, the number on the black tower started to steadily decline. Once the number fell to 13 million, the population decline stabilized.
On the third day, the number stabilized at 11 million and barely changed.
In these three days, some players already returned to Earth. Tang Mo was hiding in a residential building. He looked down from the second floor window and saw a young man covered in blood falling out of the air. The man grunted painfully but didn't have time to check his injuries as he struggled to get up and run. His figure disappeared into the opposite building, apparently finding a safe place to heal slowly.
Players who passed through the tower attack game appeared one after another. Some of them were seriously injured and some were unscathed. Without exception, as soon as they appeared on Earth, their eyes sharpened and they glanced around. They seemed different from before. The players who came out of the tower attack game were more cautious and alert to the movements around them.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo spent five days in this uninhabited house.
This was a forced black tower attack game and they didn't need to attack the tower. However, the black tower's change made them watch for a while to decide what to do next. For five days, only players who successfully attacked the tower walked in front of them. No one else appeared.
Fu Wensheng filled a lot of mineral water bottles and Fu Wenduo placed them in the chicken nest.
Coincidentally, Tang Mo found that he could drink Fu Wensheng's mineral water.
The mineral water in the Nongfu bottles were cold. It didn't taste like water but it made people feel refreshed after drinking it. When they were still at the base of the Nanjing Group, no one drank this water. Tang Mo took another sip and thought about it. "It feels like my strength as well as my eyesight have improved."
All three of them drank half a bottle of water.
Fu Wenduo tested it. "Drinking a sip of water and drinking a bottle of water is the same. It probably improves physical fitness for one hour. The increase in power is approximately 20%." The wall had a fist-shaped hole in it from when Fu Wenduo had punched it as an experiment. "There is a 10% increase in speed and my vision and reaction rate have also improved."
Tang Mo threw the empty bottle into the trash. "Xiaosheng, previously I looked at your ability and it said there was only a healing effect." Tang Mo had a sudden thought. "Did you ability level up?"
Fu Wensheng scratched his head. "I don't know."
"I'll take a look."
Tang Mo held the child's hand again to detect his ability.
[Ability: Aristocratic 100 year Baisui Mountain Water]
[Owner: Fu Wensheng]
……
[Level: 4]
……
Sure enough, it upgraded!
This was a rare piece of good news.
Since the beginning, Tang Mo had guessed that a player's ability could be upgraded. Otherwise, there would be no 'ability level' in the description. However, once the abilities book collected an ability, it could no longer update and everything would remain the same. Thus, Tang Mo couldn't know the level of the ability from the abilities book.
Tang Mo glanced at Fu Wenduo. He wanted to know the current state of Fu Wenduo's ability. Tang Mo only glanced over for a moment before looking away. He could only test other people's abilities once every three days. He wouldn't be able to see Fu Wenduo's ability for the next three days.
"You can check my ability in three days."
Tang Mo was startled and looked back at Fu Wenduo.
Fu Wenduo's lips slowly curved. "Perhaps my ability leveled up as well? Confirming both sides will allow us to come to a better conclusion.
Tang Mo stared at him before smiling and nodding. His mouth was open and he hadn't spoken yet when his expression suddenly changed. Fu Wenduo's eyes narrowed and he turned to look behind him. At almost the same time, a black shadow broken through the window in answer. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unconsciously squinted as sunlight reflected off the broken glass on the ground. The next moment, the black shadow was standing next to Fu Wensheng who hadn't reacted.
"Leader! I got him!"
Their eyes hadn't fully opened when Fu Wenduo shot forward like a rocket. His right arm turned into a black weapon when rushing forward and the horrible blade cut at the other person's right leg, revealing white bone. The man grabbed Fu Wensheng and threw the child out the window. He made a pained sound as Fu Wenduo's weapons scratched him and flew away, hitting the wall.
Everything happened in only three seconds.
This was the time that the person flew into the room, grabbed Fu Wensheng and threw Fu Wensheng out the window. Things developed so quickly that Fu Wenduo couldn't save Fu Wensheng. They could only watch him be taken away. He and Tang Mo looked at each other and nodded. Fu Wenduo quickly rushed towards the man who fell in the house while Tang Mo flew out the window to chase after Fu Wensheng.
The moment that Tang Mo's body left the window, an emotionless voice said coldly,
"You're in the air now."
Tang Mo was shocked. He hadn't landed when a heavy gravity pressed down on his shoulder, forcing him into the ground. Tang Mo was knocked against cement ground and looked up. Lian Yuzheng attacked from his left while Ruan Wangshu attacked from his right. In front of him, the female doctor held Fu Wensheng's arm and smiled at Tang Mo. "Are you ready?"
She didn't give Tang Mo time to prepare as she directly pulled out a knife and stabbed her right hand.
The knife pierced the female doctor's palm and dyed her white coat red. She didn't seem to feel any pain while Tang Mo's right hand was numb. Tang Mo bent over to escape Lian Yuzheng's strike while Ruan Wangshu attacked the next second. The former constantly attacked Tang Mo's lower body, making him have to leave the ground. As soon as he left the ground, Ruan Wangshu would use his gravity ability to suppress Tang Mo.
Meanwhile, the female doctor would harm herself with the knife.
There wasn't a drop of blood on Tang Mo but he had already been stabbed four times. Tang Mo's fingers trembled as he struggled hard to fight back. Fu Wenduo and Qi Heng's fight was still continuing. Lian Yuzheng caught Tang Mo's mistake. Her left foot pushed against the ground while her right leg moved in a circular arc in the air, aiming for Tang Mo's head.
Tang Mo was about to avoid it when the female doctor stabbed her right leg without hesitation. Tang Mo stumbled and failed to escape. Lian Yuzheng was about to hit him with her leg when a harsh gunshot was heard. For a moment, all of Tang Mo's pain disappeared and he quickly dodged the blow.
On other other side, the female doctor had a terrible wound from where she was shot with a bullet. She turned and looked at the little boy she was holding with horror.
Fu Wensheng pouted as he held a gun and fired without blinking.
Li Miaomiao muttered, "You…"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fu Wensheng almost didn't need to aim for the three consecutive shots. He just fired at Li Miaomiao's eyebrows. The moment his bullets ejected, fire burned and the bullet swept through the flames towards Li Miaomiao. Li Miaomiao could only keep dodging. She wanted to fight back but the child could hide quickly because of his small body. She wanted to use her ability but Fu Wensheng's bullets never stopped interfering with her.
"Damn, this child! Once I catch you, I'm going to peel off your skin!"
Without Li Miaomiao's help, Tang Mo had it a lot easier. Still, it was difficult to handle both Lian Yuzheng and Ruan Wangshu. He used his fire ability to block the others' deadly attacks again and again. Suddenly Tang Mo remembered that Ruan Wangshu's right leg seemed a bit awkward when they faced each other last time.
His right leg should be seriously injured!
Tang Mo didn't hesitate to aim the small parasol at Ruan Wangshu's right leg.
There was a banging sound and Ruan Wangshu was struck in one knee by the parasol. Lian Yuzheng came to save him and Tang Mo opened the small parasol to block her. The two sides struggled hard, both of them gaining injuries. Tang Mo quickly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Ruan Wangshu's head.
Ruan Wangshu could definitely avoid an ordinary bullet and Lian Yuzheng didn't take it seriously.
Tang Mo opened his mouth to say a spell. At this time, a soft laugh was heard from the community's garden and at the same time, a black shadow flew towards Tang Mo's hand holding the gun. Tang Mo quickly dodged and found that it was an ordinary pebble.
"If I was you, I wouldn't let him fire this shot." Ruan Wangshu turned to look behind him. Strange laughter was heard from the thick bushes. This man's laughter was so bizarre that Lian Yuzheng frowned when she heard it. "If he shoots this, you will die. It is a great prop… hehe, or is it an ability?"
Tang Mo's body stiffened when he heard this laugh.
…A baby-faced person popped into his mind.
An unknown premonition filled Tang Mo's heart. At the same time, Fu Wenduo kicked Qi Heng out the window, Qi Heng falling from the second floor. Fu Wenduo watched him go while Qi Heng's body was full of injuries. He didn't feel any pain after falling. He just looked at his boss and teammates.
Then Qi Heng made a confused sound as he saw a strange baby-faced youth.
In the bright sunlight, the baby-faced youth wearing a white jacket emerged from the bushes with his hands in his pocket. As he walked, his eyes were fixed on Tang Mo. He arrived at the square in the middle of the community and stood in the shade of a tree. "Someone imitated my face, someone imitated my smile but he wasn't me…"
Bai Ruoyao winked. "Tang Tang, I heard one thing. There was a person called Mr. B… his voice and personality seemed similar to me. That Mr. B did many bad things. People said I did it and beat me up."
As he spoke, Bai Ruoyao deliberately pulled his right hand out of his pocket. He twisted his wrist, seemingly relaxed while sharp eyes swept over Fu Wenduo, Ruan Wangshu and the others before finally returning to Tang Mo.
"Hey Tang Tang, tell me… who did this bad thing?"
The author has something to say:
She Huiyao: Hey, someone imitated my face, someone imitated my smile but they aren't me! I am cute and lucky!
Old Fu: Who are you calling Tang Tang? [Cold smile.]
Tang Tang: Can you make this person get lost?
Old Niao and Wang Yinggui: …Who beat you up!!

Chapter 132
Cold wind blew through the leaves as thick clouds moved from the west to gradually cover the sun. Tang Mo stared coldly at the baby-faced youth while there was a funny smile on Bai Ruoyao's face. The eight people were divided into three camps. The atmosphere was still as each side remained motionless.
Bai Ruoyao cocked his head and looked at Tang Mo with a grin.
The next moment, Tang Mo suddenly shifted his gaze and rushed to Ruan Wangshu. Fu Wenduo ran out at the same time. The two people tacitly attacked two sides, one person stopping Qi Heng and Lian Yuzheng while the other person headed straight to Ruan Wangshu. This change came too fast. After Bai Ruoyao's reminder, Ruan Wangshu was no longer careless. His eyes narrowed and he caught the half a second when Tang Mo's feet were off the ground. He reacted very quickly by placing his hands on the ground, the strong pressure falling down.
The small parasol stabbed hard at Ruan Wangshu while a round white shield appeared in Ruan Wangshu's hand, blocking the small parasol.
Tang Mo's eyes narrowed and he didn't hesitate as he continued to bully the child. Ruan Wangshu was 14 years old this year and he was indeed a child compared to Tang Mo. Fu Wenduo was stopping the other three people and Ruan Wangshu's right leg was inconvenient, so he gradually fell into a disadvantage. Who would've expected a black dagger to suddenly stab at Tang Mo? Tang Mo rolled backwards to avoid it.
Bai Ruoyao pouted and blinked. "Tang Tang, you can't bully a child."
Tang Mo ignored him and once again attacked Ruan Wangshu. Bai Ruoyao grinned and joined the battle. When Tang Mo pressed Ruan Wangshu in the fight, Bao Ruoyao would help Ruan Wangshu so that the latter wasn't too passive. When Ruan Wangshu retaliated, he helped Tang Mo. This person was like a piece of shit. Tang Mo and Ruan Wangshu single-mindedly attacked each other, ignoring Bai Ruoyao. Then Bai Ruoyao blocked Tang Mo's big match and laughed, "You will die if this fire hits you." Tang Mo's eyes became cold and he turned to Bai Ruoyao. Ruan Wangshu also sneered, "You should die first."
The next moment, Tang Mo and Ruan Wangshu joined hands to hit Bai Ruoyao together.
Bai Ruoyao was a bit surprised before his smile became even more brilliant. The moment the two sides fought each other, Tang Mo's expression sank. Bai Ruoyao's strength was much higher than it was four months ago. His ability was chicken-like but his strength was very frightening. Under the combination of Tang Mo and Ruan Wangshu, Bai Ruoyao gradually fell into a disadvantage but he was never taken down.
A black glow flashed from Ruan Wangshu's hand and Bai Ruoyao was caught off guard, his movements slowed for a bit. Tang Mo took this opportunity to strike with the small parasol. The small parasol was just about to hit Bai Ruoyao's head when Tang Mo's figure suddenly disappeared in the air.
Ruan Wangshu was startled.
Bai Ruoyao grinned at Ruan Wangshu, like he had seen something interesting.
One second, Tang Mo's small parasol was about to hit Bai Ruoyao and the next second, it appeared in front of Ruan Wangshu. The round umbrella tip was three seconds away from Ruan Wangshu's forehead. Ruan Wangshu subconsciously retreated backwards to avoid this blow but Tang Mo was much faster. This time, Tang Mo's figure appeared behind Ruan Wangshu.
A sharp weapon pierced flesh as the small parasol pierced through Ruan Wangshu's forehead from behind. The teenager's eyes opened while astonishment while Lian Yuzheng and Qi Heng were shocked.
The female doctor rushed over in an attempt to save him.
Bai Ruoyao smiled. "The fate on his body was too heavy. With one glance, I knew that Tang Tang wanted to kill him instead of me."
Whether it was Tang Mo or Ruan Wangshu, attacking Bai Ruoyao wasn't the main purpose. Their goal was only the other person. Ruan Wangshu had been on guard against Tang Mo when attacking Bai Ruoyao but he never thought that Tang Mo had the A Fast Man ability.
Tang Mo calmly pulled out the small parasol as Li Miaomiao arrived. She pressed her hand on his forehead where there was a bleeding hold. Ruan Wangshu's eyes were wide open but he had long since stopped breathing. Tang Mo was holding the small parasol to help Fu Wenduo but he hadn't taken two steps when the clear sound of a gold coin was heard from behind him.
Tang Mo stiffened and turned to look, a silver dart passing by Tang Mo's cheek.
The teenager, who was being held by the female doctor, reached out and threw the dart. Ruan Wangshu's eyes stared coldly at Tang Mo as the bloody hole on his forehead slowly healed.
Bai Ruoyao raised an eyebrow at this scene while Tang Mo tightened his grip on the small parasol.
Ruan Wangshu took a 25 cent gold coin from his pocket. The coin shone before it turned into countless gold dots of light that disappeared into the air. Tang Mo's eyes narrowed. Ruan Wangshu had definitely died just now and was resurrected. This was an extremely powerful prop that might be even better than the King's Gold Coin!
Ruan Wangshu stood up along with the angry female doctor.
The battle didn't start again. Tang Mo and Ruan Wangshu stood five metres apart. Tang Mo looked down at the teenager and then asked coldly, "Four dead members and the use of such an important prop, yet I'm still not dead… what exactly did the black tower tell you that you must come and catch me?"
Ruan Wangshu didn't answer but the female doctor couldn't help exclaiming, "What is death? Surname Tang, you took the reward that belongs to us. Why shouldn't we take it back?"
The answer was beyond Tang Mo's expectations. "What prop?"
No one answered Tang Mo, with Ruan Wangshu saying instead, "Those four people weren't sent by us. They eavesdropped on Qi Heng and Lian Yuzheng's conversation and ran over to kill you. They wanted to take the prop and then ask for credit." There was a pause and he added, "The four of them were just fringe members of our group. Not counting that time, this is now the third attempt."
Tang Mo felt that he was trying to say something. "The third time… so what?"
The white-faced teenager looked up at Tang Mo and stated casually. "There is nothing. It is just that three times is my principle."
Ruan Wangshu seriously stared at Tang Mo before turning and walking away. Qi Heng and Li Miaomiao were dissatisfied. "Leader, we still have props that haven't been used. Old Ji and A'Guang are still in the instance. Let's wait for them to come out before killing this boy!"
Lian Yuzheng listened to Ruan Wangshu and just scoffed coldly before following him.
Qi Heng and Li Miaomiao were angry but they could finally only follow their boss. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo watched the four people leave, always alert for the battle to start again. The four people of the Tian Xuan organization seemed to really want to stop as headed to the entrance of the community. They still hadn't completely left when Fu Wenduo's eyes changed and he rushed outside the community.
Tang Mo was one step behind him. The four people of Tian Xuan were closer and they also rushed to the intersection like Fu Wenduo.
Once everyone arrived at the intersection, they saw a middle-aged woman stabbing a young man in the chest. The man seemed to have just come out of the tower attack game as there were wounds all over his body. The middle-aged woman found Tang Mo's group and stared at them with numbness in her eyes. She didn't show the slightest fear but instead looked at them like they were prey.
The young man died on the spot while the middle-aged woman grinned, revealing yellow teeth. She hoarsely counted the numbers, "One, two, three… eight pigs. 80 minutes of rest time…" The next moment, she rushed straight to Ruan Wangshu, seeming to feel that he was the weakest.
Ruan Wangshu sneered and pressed his hands against the ground.
Bang!
The middle-aged woman’s body hit the ground. There was horror on her face as she looked up and asked, "Who are you?"
Ruan Wangshu didn't answer as Lian Yuzheng's knife flashed, prepared to take away this woman's life.
The middle-aged woman saw Lian Yuzheng's face and was startled, "Lian Yuzheng? How are you here?"
Lian Yuzheng's knife was about to fall. The middle-aged woman was crushed by gravity but a red light flashed on her body. Her body changed into red paper and floated in the air, avoiding Lian Yuzheng's knife. She turned and fled in the form of a piece of paper. Bai Ruoyao saw that strange paper person and suddenly rushed to catch the woman.
Bai Ruoyao was just grabbing the paper when there was a flash of white light. Bai Ruoyao's hands were empty while the middle-aged woman disappeared into the air.
The smile on Bai Ruoyao's face disappeared.
Tang Mo watched this scene with an astonished expression, several scenes flashing through his mind. Then he noticed Ruan Wangshu's thoughtful expression and immediately understood. "Do you know what this is about?"
Ruan Wangshu looked up at him and didn't speak, directly leaving with his teammates.
Lian Yuzheng's cold voice was heard. "About this matter, we don't have the ability to take back the prop so we will let it go. Information sharing isn't possible unless you join the Tian Xuan organization. Then our information can be shared with you."
The four people of Tian Xuan left the scene while Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo examined the young man's body.
This man was indeed killed by the middle-aged woman.
Tang Mo calmly said, "The woman disappeared into thin air. If she disappeared a bit earlier or we came later, this time it would be like an invisible person."
Fu Wenduo added, "Her ability should be related to that paper body. It shouldn't be related to her body disappearing, unless she used a prop."
Tang Mo nodded. "What does Tian Xuan know? Tian Xuan is a huge power in Beijing and has a huge information network. They might've found something." After a pause, Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo. "…They said I stole their prop?"
Fu Wenduo was about to open his mouth when his expression suddenly became cold. He waved his right hand and changed it to a sharp weapon. Bai Ruoyao was planning to come over and check the body. He stopped at Fu Wenduo's actions and raised his hands in an innocent manner. "Wow, Mr. Fu, I am Tang Tang's friend. I also know this child."
Tang Mo declared coldly, "I don't know him."
Fu Wensheng also hurriedly denied it. "I don't know this psychopath."
Bai Ruoyao smiled. "You are calling me a psychopath. Little friend, didn't you also say that you didn't know this big brother?"
Fu Wensheng shuddered at the laugh and shrank into Tang Mo's side. He apparently had a psychological shadow regarding Bai Ruoyao.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't seem to take Bai Ruoyao seriously but in fact, they were always wary of him. As long as he approached, the two of them wouldn't hesitate to shoot. Bai Ruoyao lingered for a long time but the two men wouldn't let him near. Five minutes later, he placed his hands on his hips and spoke in a disgruntled manner., "What if I said that I know about the invisible people?"
Tang Mo didn't look at him while Fu Wensheng whispered, "We can't believe any of your words."
Bai Ruoyao who had very good hearing, "…"
The next moment, the baby-faced youth slightly smiled and spoke carelessly, "The time leaderboard, killing a person can give 10 minutes of rest time. There are never ending black tower games. Oh yes, the number one player on the time leaderboard… wow, they are ranked first. Tang Tang, do you know that person's name?"
Tang Mo had been looking at Bai Ruoyao warily as soon as he said 'time leaderboard.'
Bai Ruoyao smiled at him and Fu Wensheng. "She is called Mu Huixue."
