After entering a realistic copy of Big Turkey, the player has queued up four times. The last queue is correct and the game is cleared.

The first time they were clueless about the game, they decided to line up the games in the order in which they entered them. In that game, the big turkey chased Ningning down and at the last second of the game, it seriously injured Ningning and nearly killed him. Because of the turkey's unconcealed desire to kill Ningning, Tang Mo decided that there was a certain order of capture in the game of 'Eagle Catching Chicks' and put Ningning in last place.

The short-haired girl was not particularly bright, but she tried very hard to remember: "At that time I remember Mr. Viktor, and Team Xiao, you all thought that Sister Ningning came last. But now we know it was Mr Donji who came last, so why did the big turkey catch Sister Ningning then, does that mean ......" The short-haired girl's eyes lit up as she thought, "Is the big turkey deliberately misleading us? "

Three times the eagle caught chicks, the first time the target was Ningning and the last two times it was Fu Wenduo. The big turkey does try its best to catch the chicks, but in fact it doesn't kill any of them. Perhaps it is pretending to catch, but is actually misleading the player into getting the order wrong?

The more the short-haired girl thought about it, the more she thought her guess was correct: "Did it deliberately mislead us by catching Sister Ningning. It didn't end up killing Sister Ningning either, and this attempt to kill instead made us believe that Sister Ningning came in last."

Xiao Jitong: "Your guess is not impossible, it's about a 20% chance."

The short-haired girl froze.

Xiao Jitong: "More than a hundred players have played this game before us, and no one has survived. The majority of them must have missed the rules of the game of Eagle Catch. After all, this is a real-life copy of Nanjing, and they are Nanjing's players."

The two girls are confused, but Tang Mo looks up at Xiao Jitong when she hears this.

Xiao Jitong is unconcerned with the idea that "family shame should not be revealed," he says generously: "I don't know what the level of players in other cities is like in the four months that Earth has been online, but the level of players in Nanjing is definitely below the average in China, because there is a raiding group in place. I don't know what the level of players in other cities is, but Nanjing players are definitely below the average in China because the raiding team is there. They have lived too comfortably and experienced too few games. If those 100 or so people could come up with a little more, there would be no point in our raiding group."

The two high school girls, also known as Nanjing players to Xiao Jitong, understood what he meant and bowed their heads in shame.

There's really nothing to feel guilty about, but they just feel a bit embarrassed about it. Especially in front of two non-Nanjing players (Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo). Of course, the three-month deadline was soon reached, and for one month at most, all Nanjing players had to attack the tower once. The black tower was forcibly attacked and no one could save them. This is why the two high school girls took part in a game of The black tower before: they wanted to be strong too.

Xiao Jitong continued: "At the beginning of the game, this big turkey didn't know what we were capable of. And it was cocky. In the first round of the game, he took us very lightly, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into Little Qiao's trap so easily. He didn't fall into the trap twice after that. His contempt meant he didn't think we'd be able to detect the truth about the eagle game all at once, so it's 70 per cent likely that it was Ningning he was after the first time."

"Eighty percent." A male voice rang out from the side and Xiao Jitong turned his head to look. Tang Mo was carefully roasting the turkey, turning the juicy meat over as he said, "It wasn't just our brains that it despised, thinking we couldn't possibly guess the rules of the eagle's game of chicken, it was also despising our strength. It did try to kill Ningning then."

Xiao Jitong smiled and didn't say anything more, and acquiesced to this view.

Confused, the short-haired girl said, "Then it should have grabbed Mr Donji, not Sister Ningning."

Tang Mo looks at the girl with a serious face. Nanjing players have the shelter of powerful players and have always seemed to live in a hothouse, experiencing too few storms and generally being weaker. These two girls were good enough not to have lost their will to fight and beg for shelter from the strong. But they don't compare favourably with Shanghai's many cunning players who can kill without batting an eyelid.

But the two girls didn't give up. The short-haired girl really wanted to know the answer, to improve herself and make up for her shortcomings.

It is not yet beyond redemption.

With this in mind, Tang Mo explains: "The game of eagle catching chicks requires at least three characters to be played. The first one is the eagle, the second one is the chick and the last one is the hen. Who do you think was the hen in the game just now?"

The long-haired girl said quickly, "First in line is the hen ...... are you a hen?"

Tang Mo shakes his head.

The short-haired girl thought for a moment, "...... is Mr Donji? The big turkey keeps attacking him." The hen had to protect her chicks and fought the eagle.

Tang Mo said, "It's a big turkey."

"Huh?"

No one expected this answer.

"The big turkey has transformed into an eagle, but The black tower keeps suggesting that it is our mother and that it has transformed into an eagle because it is schizophrenic. It is still essentially a mother hen. As an eagle, it has to start by catching the last chick. So for the first round in line, our order is you, her, Mr. Xiao, Little Qiao ......"

Tang Mo's voice echoes through the empty supermarket.

Of the seven players in the room, Fu Wenduo and Xiao Jitong had already understood the truth of the game, but the other four were still confused. The two young girls listened intently, and Little Qiao and Ningning looked to Tang Mo. They all want to know the real answer.

It was very simple. At first Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo thought that Ningning was the last chick in line because she was the first one the big turkey wanted to kill. There is nothing wrong with the logic that the first chick to be caught in a game of eagle catching chick is the last chick in line. The only thing they got wrong was that there was a big hen in the game.

The big turkey has gone psychotic and become an eagle, but she is still essentially a big hen. She wants to protect her baby, but according to the rules of The black tower, she has lost her mind and only wants to eat the chicks. So how can she protect her baby?

Line up for the worms, that's what the big turkey in its motherhood always says. Yes, only the chicks in the right line will be blessed by the Great Turkey. He doesn't go schizophrenic and attack the chicks in the right line, only the ones in the wrong line, because he "doesn't recognise" that they are his chicks.

This is the potential rule of the game of eagle catching chickens.

Counting from the back to the front, the first chick in the wrong line is the one the eagle will catch.

In the first queue, Fu Wenduo was in last place and Tang Mo was in second last place. Fu Wenduo was in the correct queue and Ningning was second to last, so the big turkey didn't recognise its baby and went on a wild goose chase after Ningning, which was the only chick it could kill. The next two queues had Ningning in last place and Fu Wenduo in second last place. At this point, because Fu Wenduo should have been in last place, he was the first chick in the wrong place from back to front, so this time he was the player who was chased by the eagle.

Tang Mo: "...... In fact, we should have thought that the second time the queue went wrong the big turkey went after Donji, which proves that there is a loophole in our presumed game of eagle catching chickens. It's not a matter of taking it for granted that the chase order is pushed forward by one place." This is a bit of a stretch. It's just that Tang Mo and others at the time only thought about the surface of the problem, and didn't make another logical fold to think about the second level of logic. "What it really catches is the first chick in the wrong place in line, counting from the back to the front."

Full players, preppers, stowaways.

The black tower is lined up in this order so that the big turkeys can kill the stowaways the easiest. The least likely to die in this order are the regular players. The black tower hates stowaways, and Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong didn't say anything about this when they decided on the queue order, but they both agreed to this fact.

It is because of The black tower's distaste for stowaways and their recognition of regular players that they have come up with the "regular players, reserves, stowaways" sequence. This is because it is the stowaways who are most likely to die and the regulars who are most likely to survive. This is very much in line with The black tower's preferences and rules.

Tang Mo is in first place because he has cleared the second level of The black tower, is better than the boy and is more recognised by The black tower, so he is first. Xiao Jitong is first among the reserves because he has cleared the second level of The black tower and is now a full player, also recognised by The black tower.

They were not sure of the position of the two young girls, the only mistake being the position of Ningning and Fu Wenduo.

Ningning and Fu Wenduo are both players who have cleared the second level of The black tower and are both stowaways. It was too difficult to choose between them in order. Ningning is very strong and is being hunted by the big turkey. Although Tang Mo thought to himself, "I think The black tower would like to kill Fu Wenduo more than Ningning", he did not dare to blindly believe in such subjective thinking, and his reasoning led him to believe in the rules of the game, so he got in the wrong queue twice. The team.

But fortunately they ended up in the right order.

After Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong explained the game, the two little girls finally understood the truth of the game. Little Qiao's understanding dawned on him and suddenly he exclaimed, "Ah, wait a minute, so when we asked the question for the third time, the big turkey said that I was second and this sister was fifth. Both answers are correct." It was only at this point that Little Qiao realised, "...... it's cheating?!"

In the first two rounds of questions, the Big Turkey's answers have been one right and one wrong. When asked a third time, players would also assume that the Big Turkey would lie for once, which would fall for its trick. In fact it did succeed. It misled Tang Mo and Xiao Jitong, who placed the short-haired girl in fifth place and the long-haired girl in fourth place.

The atmosphere was very relaxed as seven people gathered around the fire to roast a turkey and the game ended with the death of the big turkey.

Xiao Jitong said, "It does explain everything, but I still have some doubts about one thing." After a pause, Xiao Jitong smiled and looked at Tang Mo: " Mr Viktor, the order of these two little girls is really untraceable and completely impossible to reason with. I would like to know ...... how you determined their correct position?"

At these words, the eyes of the crowd turned to Tang Mo.

The two young girls also stared at him curiously, wondering how in the world this amazing foreign player could have guessed where they both were. If Tang Mo was ahead of Little Qiao because he had cleared the second level of The black tower, Xiao Jitong was ahead of the two girls because he had been converted to a full player, and Fu Wenduo and Ningning were in the order revealed by the three eagles catching chicks... ...and what about them?

Why are girls with short hair in fourth place and girls with long hair in fifth place?

Little Qiao stares at Tang Mo with bated breath, while Ningning pretends to be oblivious and glances at Tang Mo's body.

Tang Mo calmly stood up, walked over to the fluffy chicken feathers (which were plucked from the turkey before it was roasted) and bent down to pick up a tiny black worm from the ground. The stubborn little worm is still alive and struggling in Tang Mo's hands. Tang Mo squeezes it and walks back to the fire, places it on the ground and then expressionlessly ......

A slap on the wrist killed it.

Xiao Jitong: "......"

Ningning: "......"

Little Qiao: "......"

Two little girls: "......"

Even Fu Wenduo froze for a moment. He soon curled his lips and his deep gaze swept over Tang Mo's face. Fu Wenduo held out his hand, "I'll do it."

Tang Mo nods and makes way.

Fu Wenduo handled the worms even faster and more accurately than Tang Mo, grinding the tiny black worms into powder in a few strokes, then crumbling them up with his fingers and sprinkling them directly onto the tantalisingly charred roast turkey. Several screams rang out as the two young girls and Little Qiao stared in horror, "What ...... are you doing?"

Even Ningning's mouth dropped open as he watched in disbelief as Fu Wenduo spilled the worm carcass on the turkey.

Tang Mo said lightly, "Eat the worm to get the reward. Do you guys not want the reward, or do you want to just eat the bug?"

It was then that the crowd remembered The black tower's dodgy reward: "......"

Compare eating a worm dry with grinding it into powder and sprinkling it on a big, fragrant roast chicken ...... Everyone fell silent in unison.

...... is still good for bug-flavoured roast chicken.

As the turkey cooks, Tang Mo cuts off a leg with his knife. He took the leg and ate it without any hesitation, not giving it to the children. Fu Wenduo was not very interested in eating turkey meat and he only helped to kill the turkey because he noticed Tang Mo wanted to do it. Once he realised that eating one piece of chicken had the same effect on his powers and physical abilities as eating many pieces of chicken, he put away his knife and stopped eating the chicken.

It was the two young girls and Little Qiao who ate the most. Within three minutes, the huge turkey was divided up among the seven players. The next moment they ate the worm carcass, a clear child's voice rang out in their ears -

"Ding dong! Receive the duplicate reward 'My Chicken Nest'."

Tang Mo flipped his fingers and a miniature chicken nest appeared in his palm. Tang Mo looks up without a word at Xiao Jitong, who is sitting closest to him. When he saw the nest in his hand, his eyes flickered.

Tang Mo calmly pocketed the nest, not taking it out to check the effect of the prop.

After eating the big turkey and getting the replica, the realistic copy of the big turkey came to an end. The two young girls kept thanking Xiao Jitong for the box of banana wine, without which the short-haired girl would have died in the copy. She kept saying that if she survived, she would definitely find a way to return the box of banana wine.

Before leaving, the two high school girls thank Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo once again. But there was a hint of caution and timidity in their eyes. When the game was over, they were no longer teammates. It could even be said that in the game of Big Turkey, they were not teammates with Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, but at most temporary allies.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had the power to kill them, but they didn't do it and helped the group win the game together. The two girls were very grateful. But when the thanking was over, they turned and ran without looking back, it was getting dark and they needed to find a place to rest.

The two girls left, leaving Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Xiao Jitong alone in the supermarket.

Five people walked out of the supermarket together.

The sun is setting and it is surprisingly late in the evening. Perhaps it was the evening of the next day. A slight warm spring breeze blew on one's face and the sunlight stretched the shadows of the five men.

Tang Mo kept his hands in his pockets as he walked over to Fu Wenduo and the two of them stepped forward to leave. At that moment, a laughing voice rang out, "Mr Viktor, Mr Donji, you don't seem to have answered my question. Why are you so sure about the order of the two girls in the queue?"

Tang Mo's footsteps are halted.

He turned around.

In front of the supermarket, a svelte, clean-cut man is looking at him with a smirk, Xiao Jitong's gaze is not malicious but deeply measured. This man is always sceptical about questions he doesn't understand. He could give a reasonable answer to any of Tang Mo's speculations, except this one.

Why are those two girls in that order?

Why did Tang Mo ask those two questions at the end?

What exactly did he find in those two questions that led him to such a definite answer?

Xiao Jitong smiles softly in the warm sunset, and Tang Mo looks at him with indifference.

The two men stare at each other for a long time, Tang Mo's fingers tapping in his pocket. It was as if he was tapping on something, and Ningning, in addition to her lip-syncing, had amazing hearing. She listened intently for a moment and thought Tang Mo might be tapping on the chicken nest he had just made.

Tang Mo laughed, "Captain Xiao, like you, I also believe in intuition."

Xiao Jitong was stunned, but soon he understood what Tang Mo meant. Xiao Jitong said the same thing when they were in line for the second time. Fu Wenduo asked him why he had put the short-haired girl in front of the long-haired one, and he replied, "I trust my instincts." But in fact, he, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo all knew that they had lined them up that way because all three of them tacitly agreed that the short-haired girls seemed a little stronger than the long-haired ones.

And now Tang Mo has used this as a reason to gag him.

Xiao Jitong's lips moved and finally closed again, shaking his head with a bitter smile. Tang Mo's reasoning really left him speechless. Even if he understood that the other party was definitely not relying on intuition, he had no way to refute it.

And right now, Xiao Jitong could never have imagined that a faintly glowing turkey egg in the pockets of Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo would suddenly go dark. It had been flickering for a full hour and its two owners did not choose to read the file, so this time the archive time was over.

No matter what questions were asked of Big Turkey, Tang Mo was acutely aware that he could not really determine the correct order of the two young girls. It is not a subjective conscious decision of who is stronger and who is weaker that will determine the position of these two. The cunning and sinister Big Turkey would not give them this most important piece of information, so Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo unanimously decided to turn on the archive the next moment after the third round of Eagle Catch.

They already knew the order of the other five, and the next one was just a one in two chance. Either the short-haired girl was in front or the long-haired girl was in front.

They have this chance to do it all over again and they will never lose.

So the desire to ask questions became a non-essential. Tang Mo asked three questions. The first two were essentially one question, and that's because he wanted to know: if a player asked two identical questions, how would the big turkey answer?

The answer is: you cannot ask two identical questions and the big turkey will ask you to ask a different one.

And for the second time, Tang Mo wondered what would happen when there was only one player left.

Over a hundred and fifty people died here, and there must have been countless times when only the last person was left. What happened to that man that he couldn't survive? While the answer given to Tang Mo by the Great Turkey is ambiguous, Tang Mo has a sneaking suspicion of the final truth.

When you survive to the end by killing your teammates, the big turkey will tell you with the most loving and heartless smile, "Son, you have to get in line to eat the worms."

From start to finish, you have to line up. No matter how many teammates die, you have to line them up. When only one person is left dead, that one person is made to line up for seven people. The game never cares about how many people survive, there is only one way to get through the game: line up and eat the bugs.

That was the first question Tang Mo asked the big turkey, and he wasn't lying, he was telling the truth in the end.

In a world dominated by The black tower, having a teammate you can trust is truly the greatest blessing of all. Looking back on that bloody and violent game of turkey, Tang Mo understands very well that without strong masters like Fu Wenduo and Ningning, it would have been very difficult for them to get through the game.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were fast on their feet and in no time they were about to disappear around the corner of the street. Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind them.

"Mr. Fu ."

Fu Wenduo is on his feet.

As the sun sets below the horizon, Fu Wenduo turns to look at Xiao Jitong, who is not far away.

When Tang Mo heard the sound, he too turned quickly and stared warily at Xiao Jitong and Little Qiao and Ningning beside him. The boy looked confused, as if he really didn't know what was going on. Ningning's hand was already on the crossbow at his waist, ready to attack.

Xiao Jitong keeps smiling.

Fu Wenduo curled his lips, "Captain Xiao, what can I do for you."

Xiao Jitong laughed: "I thought it was supposed to be you guys looking for us for something, am I wrong? Knowing full well that I had been suspicious of the 'game not passing if a player dies' during the game just now, I couldn't have asked for anyone's life, so I deliberately revealed my name and confessed my identity to us ......" The voice paused and Xiao Jitong laughed: " Mr. Donji, or rather, Mr. Fu Wenduo, the most powerful stowaway in China, and this one, Mr. Tang Mo, who is also very powerful. I'm sure you two didn't just show up in Nanjing, did you?"

When he heard the words Fu Wenduo, the little boy was stunned for a moment, then he said in horror, "He's Fu Wenduo?

Ningning said coldly, "He always was."

Little Qiao: "So why don't I know?!"

Ningning: "Because you're stupid."

Little Qiao: "......"

Xiao Jitong: "You must have something to do in Nanjing. You gave us your name because you wanted to see if we could help you with this. You want to use the power of our Nanjing Raiders group, or rather the power of the Nanjing group, to do something. Let me take a guess ......" Xiao Jitong rubbed his chin, mused in a pretentious manner for a moment and smiled, "Ah, could it be that you want to find someone?"

Tang Mo's eyes stare.

Xiao Jitong laughed, "Really looking for someone?"

As Xiao Jitong's words fell, Ningning gave a surprised "eek". Her eyes rolled up and she said in an odd tone, "Didn't that kid always say he didn't know Fu Wenduo, that Fu Wenduo was a bastard, that he would chop him into a hundred pieces if he saw him to vent his frustration at being dragged into the tower attack game, and that he must not have anything to do with Fu Wenduo? "

Fu Wenduo: "......"

Tang Mo: "......"

Fu Wensheng, who had just come out of a copy, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked over at his teammate, "I thought the weather had turned warm?"
