Chapter 196: Four months ago, I killed that man with my own hands.

Mu Huixue is right.

An unknown woman suddenly kills the former number one player, gets his rest time and becomes a high ranking player. Most high ranking returnees subconsciously assume that the woman has used some method to kill the former number one, and they jump at the chance to kill her to get the rest time.

But as more and more high ranked players died at Mu Huixue's hands, they knew the woman's true strength and would not challenge her again. Before that, Mu Huixue had already accumulated so much rest that she was at the top of the time rankings.

Mu Huixue is not a murderous returnee, which is a good thing for Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, and indeed all Earth survivors. However ......

Fu Wenduo : "I have no reason to kill you."

If Mu Huixue had been a vicious returnee with over 100,000 lives on her hands, Fu Wenduo might have tried to fight her, to kill her and 'save the people'. Fu Wenduo has this sense of duty. Of course, if Mu Huixue had been so powerful, Fu Wenduo would not have tried to do it.

Now it seems that Mu Huixue was strong and not a vicious person, and Fu Wenduo had no reason to kill her.

Fu Wenduo: "Fighting the strong, I have the same idea." With that, he turned his head to look at Tang Mo for a moment. It was clear that Tang Mo also wanted to fight someone strong, and that fighting was the best way to improve his strength. Fu Wenduo continued, "But firstly, I may not be able to kill you, and secondly, I have no reason to kill you."

Mu Huixue laughed: "I want to die, that's the best reason."

"Why do you want to die?"

A low female voice suddenly rang out, and the crowd looked down. Chen Shanshan lifted her face, looking earnestly at Mu Huixue, as if trying to see from her expression what she was really thinking.

Mu Huixue looked down at the little girl, and after a moment she smiled and said, "There is no reason to live ...... so I want to die. Is that reason okay?"

Chen Shanshan was silent and did not say anything, but everyone knew that this reason was totally untenable.

Neither Fu Wenduo nor Tang Mo had any reason to take Mu Huixue's life. They were not friends, let alone enemies, with the top ranked returnee. A sparring match would be fine, but killing the opponent would be a lot of work, and not necessarily successful.

Tang Mo pondered for a moment, ready to explain why. Tang Mo subconsciously looked up to see Mu Huixue stroking her chin with her index finger and smiling, "What if killing me could revive any player who died in The black tower game?"

"Flutter-"

Tang Mo's eyes widened and he heard his heart flutter violently in his chest.

With the updated rules in The black tower version 4.0, returnees are still subject to time off, but can actively convert to full players. In addition to this, the Time Rankings have been forced to freeze by The black tower. Tang Mo killed Xu Yunsheng, who was in 7th place on the Time Rankings, but not in 8th place.

Because the time charts have been frozen.

One hundred returnees, one dead, one less.

Other than that, the rules of the time chart itself remain unchanged. After killing Xu Yunsheng, Tang Mo received a Fine quality item. The item appears to be a small silver stone, and the description of the item is that it can attract metal under certain circumstances. However, the note on the item is -

[Remark: As a kind stone - I can help other stones become night jewels!

Tang Mo has an excellent memory and immediately turns up familiar images from his memory. He retrieved a black, unmistakable stone from his backpack, and when he placed the two stones together, they suddenly fused. The silver stone disappeared and the black stone began to glow. The profile of the newly synthesised prop was -

[Props: a magical night pearl]

[Owned by: Tang Mo].

[Quality: Fine].

[Grade: Level 2].

[Attack Power: None]

【Function：With strong magnetic force, it can suck any prop of metal material】.

The lower the quality, the lower the success rate. The lower the quality, the lower the success rate. The probability of sucking a junk quality item is 0. The time to be sucked is 30 seconds, and it will drop immediately after 30 seconds. Can only be used once every seven days].

[Remark: The ugly duckling can become the white swan, and I, a small stone, can become a night jewel!

This stone was knocked out of Mario's hat before Tang Mo took part in the Iron Shoemaker's replica. There is a difference between good and bad quality items, and this is without a doubt the best item Tang Mo has ever made. No one would have thought that a normal quality prop stone could be fused with other props to turn them into the best props.

This stone is strong when it is strong, but weak when it is weak. It was used by Tang Mo to suck Bai Ruoyao's butterfly knife, catching him unawares.

Tang Mo knew that this was no coincidence. He would get the silver stone because The black tower knew that he had the black stone and would give him such a reward.

And now, kill Mu Huixue to revive a player who died in The black tower sidequest ......

Tang Mo's breath caught slightly as he lifted his head and looked silently at Mu Huixue.

Mu Huixue knew he was moved. She continued, "Besides resurrecting a man and killing me, you can get all my props. Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo , I am not a fool. If I don't die, I won't give up these props of mine and give them to others. But if I die, you can get them as a matter of course. The returnees must have more props than the Earth survivors," with a soft chuckle, Mu Huixue laughed, "You know what I'm talking about."

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo could not resist this offer.

However, Chen Shanshan asked her, "Why don't you let yourself die in The black tower game. A normal The black tower boss may not be able to kill you, but Father Christmas, he can definitely kill you."

Mu Huixue is only a player who has cleared the fourth floor of The black tower, Father Christmas is a The black tower monster of the circus master's level. Tang Mo has fought the circus master and no one in the world is a match for those monsters until the sixth floor of The black tower. Mu Huixue could have deliberately broken the rules in the previous game of Curiosity Mall and let Santa kill her.

For the first time Mu Huixue stopped smiling and looked at the short-haired girl seriously: "To be killed by a The black tower monster is not in keeping with my aesthetic. To die at the hands of a strong man is something I would gladly do. To die at the hands of a monster ...... kid, that's trampling on my dignity."

Chen Shanshan opened his mouth without making a sound.

The benefits of killing Mu Huixue were obvious, but after a long time Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo shook their heads together.

Fu Wenduo : "I have no reason to kill you."

It's the same answer.

They had no reason whatsoever to kill a female player who wasn't exactly a bad guy.

Mu Huixue thought for a moment and said, "What if ...... I had another reason?"

Guangzhou , Flower City Square.

The hot sun hangs high in the sky and pours down on the ground, almost turning the concrete in the ground into liquid. Guangzhou is located on the Tropic of Cancer, the temperature in June is extremely high, and the lack of shade in Flower City Square means that few people walk on it on such hot days. Yet today, three people walked on the brightly lit pavement.

They were two short, dark, thin men, and a tall, burly man.

After the Earth came online people's physique improved and their ability to withstand the extremes of heat and cold increased dramatically, and this kind of day did not make them feel uncomfortable. But on such a hot day, the first two middle-aged men were wearing thin clothes, and the last one, a big man as strong as a bear, was actually wrapped in a thick fur coat.

His beard was long, his face scruffy and dirty, and he wore a fleece hat made of fur, burying his face in his clothes, his silver-grey eyes silent as he looked out.

The two men walking ahead were walking honestly when suddenly, a cracking sound was heard from the middle of Guangzhou Tower. A small silver arrow broke through the air with terrifying speed and shot straight at a middle-aged man walking on the left. The middle-aged man realised something was wrong and said something bad, but he was too late to react.

Seeing that the small arrow was about to pierce his head, a large hand reached out to him and steadily grasped the arrow.

In the middle of the Guangzhou Tower, two middle-aged men paled and rushed to leave through the passageway. But they had just reached the ground floor of the Guangzhou Tower when they saw a tall, black figure blocking the door to the TV tower. A thick beard hid the other man's face and all they could see was a pair of grey, dull eyes.

Andrei was much quicker than the two men. With one hand, he lifted the two good Guangzhou players and pinned them to the plastic lounge chairs on the ground floor of the station.

At that moment, the two Xinjiang players finally ran over.

The two Guangzhou players looked timidly at this strange foreign strong man, who looked like a giant bear, and the terrifying pressure of which made them shiver uncontrollably. The Xinjiang players suddenly felt a sense of empathy at the sight: half a month ago they had been threatened like this!

Andrei said to the two Xinjiang players, "Say, nest ...... looking for her."

After almost a month together, the two men were already able to communicate with Andrei in a simple way. They relayed Andrei's words: "Don't be afraid, we're Chinese too, he's a Russian player called Andrei. We're from Xinjiang and he's looking for Mu Huixue. We heard that Mu Huixue was last seen at Guangzhou Tower, so we came to check it out. Do you know where Mu Huixue is?"

At these words, the two Guangzhou players paled slightly.

A few moments later, a man said, "Mu Huixue ...... left Guangzhou half a month ago."

"Huh?"

The man explained, "If you are talking about the number one in that time chart, the returnee Mu Huixue , then she left Guangzhou half a month ago. She's a very strange person, she didn't do anything after the two worlds merged, she kept standing at the tip of Guangzhou Tower ...... looking at the stars and the moon. When she got tired of looking she suddenly jumped down and told us she was leaving to go to Beijing because she wanted to find someone to kill her ......"

Xinjiang player: "......"

Andrei, who didn't get it at all: "MU will learn in Larry?"

The Xinjiang player asked, "No big brother, she wants someone to kill her ...... how does this sound so unlikely."

Guangzhou players are also innocent: "Really, that's what she said, and then she left. Our group is the largest official player group in Guangzhou and we had people watching Mu Huixue and saw her leave Guangzhou and go north. Whether she went to Beijing or not, we don't know."

However unlikely, the two Xinjiang players had no choice but to tell Andrei the truth.

Andrei : "......"

Even the two Xinjiang players didn't believe it, not to mention Andrei.

However, they then asked a number of other Guangzhou players and the answers were the same.

Andrei was silent and stopped talking, slowly he raised his head and looked to the north. The two Xinjiang players' hearts tightened and a sudden feeling of bad luck came over them. As expected, the next moment Andrei looked at them and said, "Woos, go to the capital."

Xinjiang player: "......"

You fucking think China is as big as the world map and you can go anywhere you want!

Meanwhile, Beijing, Titan.

Mu Huixue takes a long red whip from her waist and clutches it in her hand. Opposite her, Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo stand on the other side, the three of them looking at each other in silence.

After Mu Huixue explains her powers, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo decide to join forces to kill her.

Mu Huixue's powers are not exactly offensive, yet they are extremely difficult to kill. On the one hand, she does not want to die casually, she wants to die with dignity at the hands of a powerful person who can kill her; on the other hand, her powers make her fight back subconsciously.

Tang Mo : "Do you really want to."

Mu Huixue laughed, "You may not be able to kill me."

Tang Mo did not answer. He flipped his hand and pulled out his parasol, staring calmly at Mu Huixue. He and Fu Wenduo looked at each other, knowing that they were thinking about how to break Mu Huixue's powers. The next moment, without any warning, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo suddenly rushed forward from both sides to attack Mu Huixue.

A golden glow flows through Mu Huixue's eyes, and several golden dots of light appear in her eyes, reflecting on several parts of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's bodies.

"Found it!"

The red whip came down immediately and it was aimed at Tang Mo. The angle of the whip was very tricky, coming from behind Tang Mo, and it caught him at a crucial moment to jump up. Tang Mo leapt in mid-air and did not use his strength to avoid the whip, but the red whip still grazed the back of his hand, leaving a light mark.

A hot, painful sensation came from the wound.

Tang Mo looks up at the other side.

Mu Huixue curled her lips, "I don't just admit defeat."

Tang Mo said helplessly, "If you do that I'll think you don't want to die at all, that you're here to kill us."

Mu Huixue was about to speak when she suddenly turned sideways to avoid the blow. The black weapon brushes past her eyes and Fu Wenduo sweeps her downwards, sending Mu Huixue backwards three steps.

Fu Wenduo : "A duel to the death?"

The implication is that you have time to chat in a life and death battle?

No time indeed.

All three men rushed up at the same time before continuing the fight.

There is one thing Mu Huixue does not know.

In fact, killing her would not only give her the chance to resurrect a player and get her props, Tang Mo would also get her powers. But that wasn't enough to tempt Tang Mo to kill someone who seemed to have no reason to be killed. What really made up their minds was Mu Huixue's words -

"Lucky Remote keeps screwing up and being dead because it makes him feel like he's still alive. And I'm dead."

"I killed the top of the time chart in order to resurrect a man."

"And four months ago, that man was killed by my own hand."

" Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo . Kill me ...... so I can be truly free."

So Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo promised to do their best to kill her, and she would respond to the battle with all her might.

There is no difference in strength in a battle of the best, it's all about who misses first among the details.

Tang Mo's fighting skills were not as good as Fu Wenduo's or Mu Huixue's, but he had a lot of powers and was always able to win by surprise. He didn't use his "one fast man" powers, but used almost all of his powers. Mu Huixue was pushed into a corner by him, but each time she found Tang Mo's weaknesses in the quickest possible time, replacing his defences with attacks, leaving him with no choice but to defend.

The battle was not meant to be seen by Chen Shanshan and Fu Wensheng.

As the sun sank in the west, several street trees were cut in two by three people and fell to the ground in Tiantan Park.

The moment the moon peeked out of the clouds, Fu Wenduo snapped at a break in Mu Huixue's game. He braced himself on the ground with one hand, the black metal colliding with the ground, while his other hand turned into a sharp black weapon and stabbed straight at his opponent. At the same time, Tang Mo was closing in on Mu Huixue with great speed, and the moment he got close to him he flipped his palm and a huge match appeared in his hand.

The large match rubbed hard against the ground, igniting sparks.

The black sharpshooter pierced the air and closed in on Mu Huixue's throat.

At this moment in Mu Huixue's eyes, a golden glow continued to shine. Her powers were desperately trying to find a way to survive, but the two men in front of her were full of flaws and there were many places she could attack. But the two men in front of her were so flawed, so full of things she could attack, that it was impossible for her to dodge their attacks.

Fu Wenduo's black sharpshooter gave her a whiff of danger, and the giant match was even more terrifying.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Mu Huixue made her decision. She lifted her left arm to block the black sharp object and half of it fell to the ground. She thus avoided the match and stumbled backwards several steps, falling to one knee and gasping heavily for air as she covered her broken arm.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stopped moving at the same time.

Their wounds were no less severe than Mu Huixue's, especially Tang Mo's. Tang Mo's wounds were more numerous than Mu Huixue's, not counting the wound she inflicted on her own arm at the end.

None of the three men spoke.

After a few moments, Tang Mo opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse: "Do you really want to die ...... Mu Huixue ."

Fu Wenduo put away his weapons and props and he called Fu Wensheng over and told him to make fresh mineral water immediately to treat the wounds on Tang Mo's body. At the same time he took out two bottles of mineral water from the chicken nest and threw them to Mu Huixue : "For the wounds."

Mu Huixue did not refuse.

Mu Huixue itself is extremely self-healing and after using the mineral water, the arm slowly grew back to its original shape.

Tang Mo : "Find a safe place to talk slowly."

The crowd agreed.

After leaving Tiantan Park, Fu Wenduo found an abandoned office building and the five of them settled in first.

Because of his injuries, Mu Huixue leaned against the wall and used gauze to clean up his wounds. Tang Mo's and Fu Wenduo's wounds appear to be more numerous, but they are in fact flesh wounds. Tang Mo sits on a computer chair, pulls a packet of tissue from the man's desk, moistens it with water and wipes the dried blood from his skin.

"...... why you want to die."

Mu Huixue looks up at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo washed the blood away as he said, "Live, you have much to do."

Mu Huixue was silent for a moment and smiled, "A lot of things? Attacking the tower?"

Fu Wenduo : "There are still three levels of The black tower that have not been breached."

Tang Mo : "What will happen when all seven floors of The black tower are raided, aren't you curious?"

Mu Huixue was about to answer "No, I'm not curious", but then she remembered that she had just done her best to save her life and shut up. Looking up at the ceiling, Mu Huixue closes her eyes and thinks for a long time. She opened her eyes to look at Tang Mo again and finally said the words, "I don't want to die."

If they really wanted to die, they would not have tried their best, even if they broke their own arms, to stay alive.

If he really wanted to die, he wouldn't have come all the way from Guangzhou to have himself killed.

She has no more interest in the world, but the fact that she has survived to this day proves that there is still something in this world that she can hold on to. Mu Huixue cannot say what that something is, but only by living can she find the answer.

At this point, both parties have made their peace, and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo look at each other and decide to ask Mu Huixue the real reason why he wants to die. But just as Tang Mo was about to speak, a melodious rendition of "Little Star" suddenly started to play. It was late at night and the group rushed to the window as quickly as possible to look at the black tower hovering above Beijing.

There are no lyrics, but the melody is the world-famous 'Little Star'.

Like real little stars, The black towers shine with a silvery glow, blinking and blinking, illuminating entire cities. The same happens all over the world, with tens of thousands of black towers shining together. In daylight areas this glow is not obvious, but in the Eastern Hemisphere it is like a star, and no one can ignore it.

Fu Wenduo: " The black tower rarely plays this very popular tune."

Tang Mo's eyes narrowed: "...... new version?"

After playing an entire song "Little Star", a clear child's voice rang out.

"Dingdong! Official Europe 1 player Lena Chopehos has successfully cleared the fifth floor of The black tower!"

"Dingdong! Europe 1 official player Lena Chopehos ......"

Three briefings in total.

The resounding sound is heard around the world.

Tang Mo didn't expect anyone to clear all five levels of The black tower so quickly, but what made him even more alarmed was: "It's been a long time since The black tower has made such a big deal of notifying players that they've cleared the tower attack game."

This is not normal!

"Ding Dong! The official update of version 4.5 is expected on June 7, 2018 at 6:00 pm with the expected update of 'Raid Six Mode'. As of June 10, 2018, areas that have not raided the fifth floor of The black tower will be forced to attack the tower, so please prepare all players."

The last time The black tower released a song dedicated to celebrating a player's success on the tower was two months ago. When Mu Huixue raided the fourth floor of The black tower and unlocked the mystery of The black tower version 4.0, The black tower released a song to thank her. And now, The black tower is available in version 4.5.

Mu Huixue : " The black tower has never had a version 0.5, this is the first time."

A sense of foreboding crept into Tang Mo's mind and he was not kept waiting long before The black tower resolved his doubts.

"Dingdong! Europe has successfully cleared the fifth floor of The black tower and has been granted free tower privileges."

"The rest of Region 9 ......"

"Please ask players to work on attacking the tower!"
