Chapter 226: A lady's tears sometimes make her more beautiful.

"The Tower of the Beginning, the Tower of Parallel Convergence"

Tang Mo took the chalk and wrote these twelve words on the blackboard in the classroom.

This is the line written on the back of the red ticket of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had not yet left Noah's Ark and were still in The black tower game. Without the sudden arrival of The black tower's seven-level scavenger hunt, the clue seemed strange and completely baffling. So Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were surprised to see it.

"Now it seems that this clue actually hints at the location of the hidden treasure, The black tower."

Lian Yuzheng : "What is the Tower of the Beginning of All Things?"

The beginning of all things, the origin of all things.

A year ago, The black towers suddenly appeared over the world overnight. They appeared together, without the first tower and without the last tower. So which is the initial tower of all things?

Tang Mo pondered, "It cannot be that The black tower is the first to descend. There is no order to the descent of The black tower."

The crowd pondered for a moment, and soon Tang Mo, Chen Shanshan and Mu Huixue turned their heads towards Fu Wenduo.

Fu Wenduo looked at the words on the blackboard, his voice calm: " There are two The black towers in Beijing, one above the Forbidden City and one in Changping. It was near the The black tower in Changping that I was told to prepare for the forced attack, the tower where everything began, the The black tower. Of course, later I entered the tower attack game near the Forbidden City. So I'm not sure which one it was."

The first meaning to emerge is that of the beginning of all things.

But the first of all, the one who started the tower attack game, was also the first to be informed by The black tower three times around the world, singing a special thank you.

China's number one player Fu Wenduo , the world's most powerful stowaway.

On 23 November 2017, he became the first player in the world to tackle the tower by himself, dragging all the Chinese players down with him. On the same day, he became the first player in the world to clear the first level of The black tower by himself.

This is the beginning of all things.

Tang Mo muses, "Let's go to Changping District first and then go to the Forbidden City."

The crowd was in no hurry to find the first tower. They needed to get more information and could not act recklessly.

Chen Shanshan analyzed: "The initial of all things refers to the first pass The black tower a floor of that tower, very coincidentally, that tower is very close to us, just go and take a look at it to know if it is, it is easy to verify. That parallel intersection ......" before the words were finished, the young girl suddenly realized something and turned her head, looking at Mu Huixue.

The young woman with the high ponytail smiled faintly and said helplessly, " China Zone 3, Guangzhou ."

On March 27th, 2018, Mu Huixue, the first place finisher in the Time Rankings and a returnee from China 3, successfully cleared the fourth floor of The black tower, opening up The black tower version 4.0. At that moment, the two worlds met because she was able to return to Earth.

If it all started with Fu Wenduo's attack on the tower, the fusion of the two worlds is Mu Huixue's attack on the tower.

This is parallel intersection.

Tang Mo: "No surprise, of the five The black towers, these two should be confirmed. If there is a mistake, we can always verify and correct it. Unfortunately, one of the three clues was given to Li Xia, and we don't know what she got. But there is one more clue." Tang Mo looked up at Mu Huixue and Andrei: "What clue did you get that also hinted at the location of The black tower?"

Andrei's eyes flickered as the big, rough, strong Russian man gave Mu Huixue a silent look and turned to leave the classroom without saying a word. He leaves so suddenly that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo frown, sensing that something is wrong. When they looked at Mu Huixue again, they saw the cheerful woman with a helpless smile, "This is a bit complicated, I'm not at liberty to say, but I assure you it has nothing to do with the location of The black tower."

Fu Wenduo was silent and said, "No hint of where The black tower is located like our clues?"

Mu Huixue : "No."

Her tone was sure, her gaze calm.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo stared at her in silence for a moment before Fu Wenduo turned his eyes away: "Okay. Let's go and see The black tower in Changping District."

Although they had only just met Mu Huixue, both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo chose to trust her.

This powerful returnee has a special power of sorts, and after spending time with her you realise that she may not be a good person in the purest sense of the word, but she is certainly a good teammate, a trustworthy one. This is evident in the game of Noah's Ark.

With no time to lose, the group packed up and headed to Beijing Changping District to check out the area around The black tower.

Tang Mo says: "If there's still time, maybe we'll have to go to Guangzhou again. We already know that the second The black tower is in Guangzhou." He looked at Mu Huixue, who then said, "It's next to the centre of Guangzhou. Let's try to get to the black tower in Changping as early as possible. I don't know much about the average level of players in Guangzhou, I wasn't there for long, but when I was there, some of the most powerful player groups in Guangzhou had people secretly following me. I've fought them, and I'm not bad, but I'm at most on the fourth level of The black tower. I mean, now it's four or five at most."

The black tower's four or five levels are the absolute best among players worldwide. But this is The black tower seven levels of tower attack.

Not even Tang Mo can say he is sure of success, and the others are even less sure.

Ruan Wangshu looked at the time: "To ensure the success of the tower attack, Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo , Mu Huixue , and ......" He was going to say Andrei but found that Andrei had long since walked out of the He was about to say Andrei, but found that Andrei had long since left the classroom and had not returned. After a pause in his voice, Ruan Wangshu continued, "You guys go to Changping District and have a look around, while I'll go to Guangzhou first with Chosen and I'll practice with Yu Zheng and Li Miaomiao. We'll both attack the tower together."

Tang Mo nodded and said, "You can go by way of Shanghai. The Shanghai Atak group is a friend of mine and Fu Wenduo's, and they have a few good players among them. You could work together and go to Guangzhou and see if you can raid The black tower."

Ruan Wangshu nodded in agreement.

The two sides discussed the matter and decided to split up.

Mu Huixue looked back: " Andrei, that guy finally left?"

Russian player Andrei has been stalking Mu Huixue since half a month ago and has been trying to kill her every now and then. But after working together on a few games of The black tower, Andrei stopped talking about killing Mu Huixue. Especially when he overheard from Tang Mo that Mu Huixue didn't become number one on the time chart because she had killed so many people, but because she had killed the previous number one and revived a man. He then said even less about it.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo wanted to raid the seventh floor of The black tower because they didn't want to sit around and wait for death.

Rule 2: The black tower that is erased is completely random. Except for the five The black towers in the game content, which are deemed to be erased at the end of the game.

If they are right and The black tower in Beijing's Changping District is one of the five The black towers, then as long as they stay in the Changping District they will survive for at least seven days before the black tower is erased on the last day.

It's not impossible to understand Andrei's reluctance to attack the tower.

Tang Mo said, "How many of us will go first?"

Mu Huixue thought about it: "I'll go and look for him. Don't look at him like that, he's very good, no worse than Mr. Fu School. Andrei is very strong, I mean force-wise."

Fu Wenduo : "We'll go first then, see you in Changping."

"Good."

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo left the Chosen Base first, and Mu Huixue searched the school for a while and soon found Andrei sitting by the basketball court in the playground.

For the three million or so Earth players who have spent eight months in The black tower game, it is now June 19. But for Earth, it's now November 18, 2017.

Andrei has been wearing this heavy fur coat since we first met him. His face is half buried in grey fox fur, and with his bushy beard and felt hat, all that is left visible are his eyes. No one would have guessed that this rough, tall Russian player had clear, light green eyes, which are now staring silently into the centre of the basketball court.

Mu Huixue leaned against the basketball hoop with his arms in his hands and raised one eyebrow: "Are you going to Changping? Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo are both there."

Andrei raised his head slowly and looked at her. After a long moment, he said, "How many people have you killed, in total, since Earth came online."

Alone with Mu Huixue, Andrei speaks Russian. More than the oddly funny Chinese, this Russia player speaks Russian with a gruff, dull, muffled voice that seems to resonate in his chest.

Mu Huixue said, "All?"

"Well, all."

Mu Huixue recalls, "Seventy-eight."

Andrei was suddenly silent. After a moment, he said, "I just made a bet with myself that if you kill more than 91 people, I will not hesitate to kill you and resurrect Valentina."

This was the first time Mu Huixue had heard the name, and it turned out to be the person Andrei wanted to resurrect. She said, "Your wife?"

Andrei shakes his head and pulls a photograph out of his fur coat. The edges of the photograph are yellowed and wrinkled, but it is clean. It is clear that its owner took great care of it, not wanting to damage it, but unable to resist taking it out and looking at it again and again.

From Russia to Guangzhou and from Guangzhou to Russia.

On this journey alone, Andrei saw it two hundred and sixty-four times.

Mu Huixue's eyesight is excellent and as soon as she looks down she sees the middle-aged woman with the very cheerful smile in the photograph and a little grey-haired girl she is holding. The woman was slightly blessed, with some light brown freckles on her skin, but she was smiling so happily, without a hint of worry, that her happiness was blinding.

She was holding the girl and a tall, handsome, middle-aged man was holding her around the waist.

Those clear green eyes hinted at the identity of the middle-aged man.

Looking at the photo, Mu Huixue laughed, "So that's what you look like."

She's lightening the mood, Andrei says: " Valentina's birthday is the first of September. Before her mother died, she begged me to protect her. But I didn't. She was pulled into a game by The black tower alone and never came out. If you kill thirteen more people, Mu Huixue, I will kill you, with all my might, to get Valentina back."

The breeze blew across the basketball court and swept up the gravel on the ground.

After a long time, Mu Huixue turned towards the iron gates of the basketball court and without looking back, she waved her hand behind her, "Go or not, The black tower in Changping."

Andrei lowers his head and squeezes his fingers around the edge of the photo.

After a few seconds, he put the photograph away and treasured it in the inside pocket of his jacket. He stood up and followed Mu Huixue towards the gates of the 80th Form.

Half an hour later, the six arrived in Beijing Changping District.

Before he even gets close to The black tower, Tang Mo hears a very familiar sound of music. He listened carefully for a moment and then looked to Fu Wenduo in surprise. Fu Wenduo confirmed his suspicions and as they approached, they saw a huge yellow exclamation mark suddenly descending from the sky.

"Bam! Wrong answer, wrong answer!"

Like one of those exaggerated special effects in cartoons, this giant exclamation point slammed down from the air and hit the ground with a thud, smashing the player standing in the yellow grid into a pulp. Blood splattered everywhere and a blood splatter appeared on the ground.

This blood flower is surrounded by a dozen more of the same blood flowers.

Seven or eight players stood trembling in this yellow grid, looking up in horror. Directly beneath The black tower, there was a small, delicate lace-rimmed table. On the table was an English three-tier snack tray, on which a variety of small, pretty cakes and pastries were placed.

One white lace-gloved hand gently picks up the white porcelain cup, puts it to its mouth and takes a sip of the rich black tea.

The beautiful maiden hid her lips and smiled: "You have good things, Sir Grea, and this is the best black tea I have ever tasted."

Across from her, the gentleman in the crimson hat smiled slightly, raised his glass towards Wang Xiaotian and smiled, "My lady, it would be my pleasure if you liked it."

Wang Xiaotian smiled sweetly as she turned her head to look at the humans who were answering the questions. Suddenly, she caught sight of the six Tang Mo standing a short distance away and winked in surprise, "Your Excellency Grea, look who I see, I see some old friends."

Grea laughed, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't know for sure that they would come and attack the tower."

Wang Xiaotian: "So that's why you chose this tower and not the other three. I thought it was because it was close to my tower, you made me sad."

"I would think it more lovely if you cried a little. A lady's tears sometimes make her more beautiful."

Wang Xiaotian held her tongue for half a day, but she could not hold back a single tear. She simply stopped pretending and turned her head to Tang Mo and raised her cup of tea, smiling, "Since you're here, don't leave."

The beautiful Cinderella winked slyly: "Welcome to 'Cinderella's Fun Quiz Game'."
