"Your first sentence says 'I'm not a stowaway either'. This sentence is saying, 'I am not a stowaway, just like the people in front of me'." The little girl, her face full of tears, kept shaking her head in denial as Tang Mo said, "Given the current situation, there is no doubt that I am the least likely to be a stowaway, followed by him, and then him." Tang Mo pointed to Li Bin and Luo Fengcheng one by one.

He looked up: "Yet no one can be sure, who is certainly not a stowaway, and I could be one too. But you admit in your first sentence that the cook who spoke before you was not a stowaway. The only one who knows for sure that he is not a stowaway is the stowaway himself."

The little girl's body trembled and she kept wiping her tears, but now no one dared to approach her and comfort her.

No matter how soft she looks, this is always a murderer.

Li Bin also nodded vigorously: "That's right, I felt something was wrong with you when I heard what you said. You were the only one who remembered the events of those three days clearly and could tell the exact time. You must have made up a lie long before you could say it so smoothly."

This was so obvious that when Li Bin pointed it out, it dawned on all three Li Wen.

"So that's it! You must be a stowaway... a child that young could kill someone? That's awful too."

The little girl was still trying hard to weasel her way out of the situation: "I didn't ......" but after crying and shouting a few times, she seemed to think that no one could possibly believe her anymore, so she gave up the struggle, stopped talking and just kept crying.

Ignoring the cook's exclamation, Tang Mo said, " Mr. Luo, do you think this is a correct guess?"

Luo Fengcheng had been standing by without saying a word when Tang Mo suddenly steered the conversation towards him and he asked a rhetorical question: "Now who is the stowaway, is there any need to guess? These two points are enough to prove who the stowaways are. Only I'm quite curious ...... who did you kill?"

The crowd turned their full attention to the little girl.

As many tears as there are, they will dry up, but one's fears will not go away.

In the corner of the underground cave, the large mole clicked and dug, whistling a sarcastic shrill whistle. Out of nowhere it pulls a bloody piece of flesh and chews on it, its tiny eyes silently glancing at the seven men. The little girl was shivering with fear, unable to shed a tear, and she looked to Lin Qiao for help. The college girl, still soft-hearted, turned her head away from her and looked away.

After a long time, a hoarse voice rang out softly.

"Do you all think I'm a stowaway? ...... Yes, I killed him, but that doesn't count as murder, not at all!" The little girl bowed her head, and no one could have imagined that the little girl who had been crying so pitifully just a moment before, now had a voice as cold as cold iron, and she jerked her head up, "Can that be considered murder? I gave him life, he shouldn't have survived at all, he shouldn't have!"

The sound of being pushed to the limit resonates through the cave, sharp and piercing.

It was then that many people remembered that the little girl looked very thin and pale, but she was fifteen years old. Fifteen is not young, and just because a little girl is short doesn't mean that this is a child who doesn't know any better. She was almost an adult.

Tang Mo frowned in surprise. The answer was completely unexpected, and before he could say anything, Luo Fengcheng had already said, "You didn't kill your parents?"

A miserable and helpless expression crossed the little girl's face, "How could I have killed my mother and father, they were so good to me. What I killed was the sinful child that should never have been born!"

The answer was so clear that by this time, even the most dim-witted of cooks understood.

The little girl said in an icy voice, "You say I'm lying, but I'm not really lying. I didn't even need to make up those words, because that's the kind of life I've been living for the past three months. I was stupid, I went to Wuhan to meet my online friend, and I got knocked up by him. He didn't want me anymore, so I had to go home. It turned out that the baby couldn't be aborted, the doctor said it was over seven months old, no abortion was allowed and it was likely that I would never be able to have children again or even risk my life. I didn't want that baby at all, but my mother said she didn't want me to regret it later or take that kind of risk, and that they would raise the baby and let me have the thing."

The little girl lifted the tear-stained face and swept her eyes over everyone present.

"I wasn't as smart as you guys, I wasn't as useful as you guys, but I just wanted to live a good life and get by. Then three days ago I was hospitalized and the next night I gave birth to that thing."

Tang Mo's eyes flickered.

In fact, there are two other very obvious holes in the little girl's words.

One of the points she made was that her mother did not care about The black tower and was helping her with her homework at home after she left for work. If her mother was really not afraid of The black tower and had the time to care about her daughter's studies, then why did she say "don't be afraid" the next night? What is there to be afraid of in The black tower? This is inconsistent.

Tang Mo originally thought that the little girl was lying, but now it seems that the words "don't be afraid" meant that she should not be afraid and work hard to have the baby, no matter what happens later.

"As long as you are well, I am well" is a way of saying that, as a mother, she will do everything she can to protect her child from desperate situations.

The little girl's expression was fierce, but a hint of regret and reluctance crossed her eyes, and she spoke in a firm tone: "He was crying that night, and I lost sleep and couldn't hold back ...... from killing him. I covered his mouth with a pillow and he slowly stopped crying. I killed him, can it be considered killing? He was my child, I gave him life, why shouldn't I take it away from him! He shouldn't even exist!"

Lin Qiao couldn't resist saying, "You can't give him life, it was a mistake for you to conceive him, it's your fault and the father's fault, not his. But in any case you gave him life, and he has the right to live. You are killing someone!"

"He'll ruin my life, and I'm only fifteen!" The little girl's eyes reddened again with sadness.

Tang Mo said lightly, "He's just been born."

The little girl choked abruptly, silently lowered her head and stopped talking.

The truth was different from what Tang Mo had thought. He had thought that the little girl had killed someone by accident, most likely her parents. She was too young and innocent to feel guilty, and her words were lies. The truth was that the little girl had deliberately killed someone, her own child. She hated that child and hated him to death, so even when it was revealed, she felt no guilt and no waves of shock.

The cook rubbed his hands together excitedly, "So we did find the stowaway, right? We can live without dying, right? It's her that that big mole wants, not us."

That came out a bit harsh and Li Bin frowned, "Well, she's already admitted she's a stowaway."

Tang Mo: "What are your psychic abilities?" Stowaways, like full players, are bound to have powers. The little girl had been caught and almost eaten by the big mole and she hadn't even shown her powers, so Tang Mo thought: "Something to do with that torch?"

The little girl wiped the tears from her face, "You want to know about my powers?"

Not only Tang Mo, but Luo Fengcheng also says: "It must have something to do with the torch."

The little girl clenched her fingers and suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Yes, just I'm a stowaway and you're going to give me to that mole. Mummy's dead, Daddy's dead, and I'm going to die too ...... and neither are you going to live!"

In a flash, a huge match appeared in the palm of the little girl's hand.

Probably because she had just had a baby, even with her powers and improved physique, the little girl was still very short and skinny. The match was almost half her size and she ran towards the crowd waving the large match, the first one to rush towards the cook who had just gloated and told her to go to hell.

"I'll kill you, and you won't live if I die!!!"

The crowd had just seen the power of a large match.

Everyone was stunned to see the little girl produce a match out of thin air, and Tang Mo was so surprised that he couldn't react. The match looked exactly like Tang Mo's match, and if it was really Tang Mo's match, it could have knocked the big mole back two steps, a power they couldn't compete with.

The cook was unaware of the power of the match, for by then he had passed out. When he saw the little girl running at him, he subconsciously tried to catch the match while slamming his fist into the little girl's stomach. But before his hand could touch the little girl's clothes, the match smashed into the top of his head with a loud bang.

"Bang..."

The cook's head was smashed into a crater and blood flowed from it.

The scene is all too familiar, as Tang Mo once killed the thief Qian Sankun in the same way.

But the cook did not die immediately. He fell back in pain, and soon blood was streaming down his face. His body convulsed and the little girl swung the match straight up to smash it again, who was surprised when a black shadow leapt over quickly and grabbed her big match.

The big mole's sharp paws are firmly gripped on the big match and he can't hide his excitement: " Mosaic's matches? A delicious turkey? Ah, The black tower, why are you being so nice to me today and bringing me a second one ......"

"Ka-ching-"

The big mole's paws clenched and before he could finish his sentence, the match was snapped off and the head fell to the ground.

The big mole froze for a moment, blinking its little eyes and staring dumbly at the match broken in two, as if it were an animated doll in an American cartoon from the last century that had the pause button pressed.

"No! How could Mosaic's matches be snuffed out so easily! It's not a Mosaic match! You lied to me!"

A fierce glint flashed in the big mole's eyes as it brushed its head and looked at the little girl. The little girl's face turned pale and she took a few trembling steps backwards. With a sharp whistle and as fast as lightning, the big mole slapped the little girl on the head, instantly splattering her brains everywhere. It grabbed the girl's hands with its paws and bent its huge head down, biting into the girl's face and ripping off a bloody piece of flesh.

"Ah!"

The female university student was so frightened that she sat down paralyzed and turned her head away, not daring to look at her.

The cook fell in a pool of blood, dead or alive.

Li Wen and Li Bin could not stand the sight of such a gory scene and, like the college girls, turned their heads away.

Tang Mo looks away for a few moments, but he quickly turns his head and sees Luo Fengcheng watching the big mole devouring the little girl without blinking, his brow furrowed as if he is thinking about something.

The strong smell of blood fills the cave and when the sound of the large mole swallowing and grinding its teeth dies down, Tang Mo turns his head. On the floor was a thick puddle of blood, a few bones lying in the blood, wet with bright red blood. The giant mole took one of the little girl's ribs and began to pick at it, picking the flesh out of its teeth as it looked at the few remaining people with a sour gaze.

Li Wen, Lin Qiao and Li Bin all inevitably ran off to the side and kept vomiting.

Tang Mo fought back a strong feeling of revulsion, walked over to the cook and probed his nose. He was silent for a moment, turned his head and said, "Dead."

Li Wen and the three men changed their expressions.

Little did I know that the cook would still be killed by a match from the little girl.

The big mole said disdainfully, "This fake Mosaic's match really doesn't work. If it had been a real match, he would have been dead the moment it hit him. This impostor's stuff is only 20% of the quality of the real thing, but she does have an interesting ability to copy any item she's seen in 24 hours, capped at twice a day. Unfortunately, the level of the ability is so low that she can only copy small, useless things; Mosaic's matches she can't really copy."

Tang Mo said, "You know about her powers?"

The black tower told me about her powers, of course, after I ate her. If only she could make a real copy of Mosaic's matches, I'd consider not eating her and asking her to make matches for me every day!"

Luo Fengcheng said, "Her psychic ability turned out to be this. Then the torch makes sense. When she came into a dark environment all of a sudden, the first thing she thought of must be lighting. It just so happened that she had seen a torch within 24 hours and duplicated it."

Tang Mo nods approvingly.

From the very beginning, Tang Mo was most suspicious of the little girl.

It was daytime before they were pulled into this tower-attacking game. Why would a little girl carry a torch around in broad daylight? Even if she did hold the torch in her hand all the time and had it when she entered the game, but after sliding down such a long tunnel and having her body bumped around non-stop, Tang Mo was dizzy from the impact, and a little girl was still holding the torch for dear life and didn't let it get knocked away?

It doesn't make sense.

"Dingdong! Side quest two 'Find the damn stowaway' completed!"

When the clear child's voice sounded, Tang Mo felt, inexplicably, that it seemed a little happy. Was it because it had killed a stowaway?

Tang Mo is not happy at the moment that the game has been won; he looks calmly at the two pools of blood on the ground. The cook's body was still lying in a pool of blood, probably stiff and cold by now. And the little girl was left with only a few bones, and the big mole took another of her ribs and picked the teeth on the other side.

In the cave, Li Wen and Lin Qiao are still vomiting.

Tang Mo looked at the two pools of blood in silence and looked up, "You just said Mosaic's matches were awesome, is it really that awesome?"

The big mole gave a giggle, "That's right, it's hard and stiff and most importantly it makes a very tasty turkey ...... er ......" Having just eaten a turkey and a stowaway. The big mole was clearly in a good mood as it rubbed its head, "Right oh, it's really not very nice to take your matches to roast a chicken, so how about this ...... I give you a turkey egg?"

The big mole started digging and in three strokes he made a big hole, revealing an uncountable number of white turkey eggs.

"You humans can't hatch turkeys, but turkey eggs are delicious. I'll take the pain ......," said the big mole, pulling out a perfectly ordinary white egg from the hundreds of turkey eggs and handing it to Tang Mo with eyes closed in pain: "Here, take this egg and eat it, don't say I'm cheap. My Uncle Mole is the kindest and sweetest little creature in the dungeon."

Tang Mo: "......"

"Dingdong! Awarded the prize for side quest one: giant turkey eggs!"

Receiving the white turkey eggs, Tang Mo noticed that the moles' fur was shinier and they seemed to have grown a little larger.

Is it true that eating stowaways enhances power?

But there seemed to be a bit of dark fog next to the big mole's head, and when Tang Mo looked again, the fog was suddenly gone. Probably he was mistaken.

Li Wen Dao: "Ah, so do we have any turkey eggs? We roasted chicken for you too ...... er, did we at least help you find the stowaways? Is there a reward for that?"

The big mole gave Li Wen a disgusted look and laughed sinisterly, "Reward? Yes."

The big mole twisted his body around, his buttocks rose and boomed, releasing a strangely smelly, loud fart.

"Reward my ass!"

Crowd: "......"

Tang Mo, who was accidentally implicated: "......"

--------------------

The author has something to say.

Tangtang: ...... a match for such an ordinary egg, I'm bloodied!

Big Mole: Hey hey hey, I'm not going to give him my precious egg, just an ordinary egg!

Li Bin: Hair on fire, hair on fire, hair on fire ......

--------------------

Hahaha, many little angels guessed Li Bin's supernatural power ~ hehehehehe ...... what is it ......
