Chapter 94
A fierce wind blew and the woman moved to the side with horror, but she was slow by half a beat. The pink parasol scratched her cheek and she screamed from the burning pain on her face. This was the first time touching her own face and red blood oozed.
“My face, my face!”
Tang Mo retracted the small parasol and the middle-aged man by her side took the opportunity to throw the knife. The knife tied with the chain aimed at Tang Mo and he backed away. The middle-aged man tied the chain around the young woman’s arm to bring her back to his side.
At the same time, Tang Mo stretched out his hand towards the 21 lights floating in the air.
The woman’s eyes widened when she saw this. The right side of her face was stained with blood and originally beautiful face now looked terrible. She stared at Tang Mo with hate. The middle-aged man wanted to pull her and run away but she twisted her head and shouted, “Kill them!”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before rushing forward.
The silver knife moved through the air and continued to attack Tang Mo. Tang Mo deftly avoided the knife but the middle-aged man’s knife and chain were very flexible, like they were part of his body. He was faster than Tang Mo. The chain danced like a silver snake in the air, focused on Tang Mo. Tang Mo’s hands and feet were hampered by it.
At this time, a red dart appeared in the palm of the screaming young woman’s hand. Fu Wenduo, who had been standing in the rear without moving, frowned when he saw this red dart appear. The next moment, the woman’s fingers forcefully moved over the dart.
The blade of dart cut the woman’s hand and red blood covered the small dart. The dart shot straight to Tang Mo. Tang Mo dealt with the middle-aged man while moving sideways and escaping the small dart. However, the small dart stopped when it reached his side. Tang Mo sensed something bad as a red light lit up on the small dart.
At this time, a black weapon came from behind Tang Mo’s body and slammed into the small dart, pushing it far away.
The small dart flew through the air and suddenly exploded into countless red powder. Fu Wenduo wrapped an arm around Tang Mo’s waist to pull them back 10 metres, avoiding the falling red powder. The two of them didn’t have time to react when the middle-aged man and the young woman came from the left and right sides.
“Kill him!”
For a time, the four people fought each other.
The strange red powder didn’t fall to the ground after the explosion as it stayed floating in the air. The young man and woman moved so that the red powder surrounded them.
Fu Wenduo said, “Hold you breath!”
“Okay!”
On the quiet street, the metal collisions sounds continued to ring out.
The physical qualities of these two players far exceeded ordinary official players. They were either stowaways or had passed the black tower’s second floor. They were decisive and had wanted to run away once the situation seemed strange. Now that the young woman had issued the order to kill Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, they were very ruthless. Every stab aimed at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s vital points.
However, these two people weren’t the most powerful. In the Nanjing Group, they might be in the middle or upper levels but they weren’t as good as Chai Rong. It was just that this red powder was too strange, meaning Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t dare act rashly.
The long time he held his breath caused Tang Mo’s speed to drop and his movements gradually slowed down. The woman seized this chance to attack. Her right hand flashed and a red dart appeared in her hand again. She leaned forward and threw the dart.
Tang Mo leaned his body back and barely avoided this blow. But the small dart was still hovering in front of his face.
Tang Mo’s heart tensed.
Bang!
The small dart exploded in front of Tang Mo’s eyes and the powder fell towards his face. In the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared in front of Tang Mo’s face. The red powder fell on the black weapon, giving Tang Mo a chance to breathe. He supported himself with one hand against the ground and quickly hurried away. At the same time, he opened the small parasol to cover himself and Fu Wenduo.
There red powder fell on the small parasol and there was a strange sound.
Tang Mo looked down at Fu Wenduo’s hand. “How is it?”
There was only a faint white luster on the dark cone. Fu Wenduo’s voice was calm as he said, “It is nothing.”
The young woman saw that Fu Wenduo wasn’t hurt despite being hit by the small dart’s powder and realized the seriousness of this matter. She turned to her companion and cried out, “Run!”
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn’t allow them to run away.
The powder in the air had been exhausted in the previous fighting and the two people obviously didn’t have any extra darts. Tang Mo closed the small parasol and aimed the sharp tip at the young woman. Bang! The tip of the small parasol pierced the woman’s shoulder and nailed her to the trunk of the sycamore tree.
On the other side, Fu Wenduo kicked the sycamore tree and blocked the escape route of the middle-aged man.
Under the sycamore tree, the man and woman looked at the two players in front of them with horror. Half of the young woman’s face was intact while the other half was stained with blood. Her wide eyes stared at Tang Mo with fear. Her lips moved continuously but she didn’t speak.
Beside her, the middle-aged man gulped and pulled out seven or eight wooden badges. “Big brothers, these are all our badges. I will give them to you. Please spare our lives! We really didn’t want to steal your badges at first. It was a misunderstanding…”
Fu Wenduo took the badges from the middle-aged man and looked at them. He raised his eyebrows. “One I, three S and three R.” Fu Wenduo’s gaze stopped on one side of the blood-covered wooden badges. He said casually, “There is blood.”
The rabbit heads had no blood in their bodies and didn’t splash blood on the badges when dying. It was only when killing players that blood would get on the badge.
Tang Mo stared coldly at the two players in front of him.
The young woman no longer dared to act arrogant. She lowered her pretty face and didn’t speak. The middle-aged man begged enthusiastically. Once he saw that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were reluctant to let them go, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a few strange props.
Fu Wenduo grabbed the props and didn’t speak. The expression on the middle-aged man’s face sank further. He wanted to say something again but Fu Wenduo looked at Tang Mo first. “It is almost time to meet them.”
Tang Mo nodded. “Let’s go.”
The man and woman gave all the props on their bodies and the badges in exchange for their lives.
The middle-aged man stared resentfully at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. Tang Mo pulled out the small parasol from the woman’s shoulder. The woman scoffed and Tang Mo placed the small parasol at his waist. He just turned to leave with Fu Wenduo when the young woman suddenly raised her head and shouted, “I will kill you!!”
A white ball of light flew from the distance towards the woman’s palm. She aimed the light ball at Tang Mo but he was already prepared. A huge match suddenly appeared in the air, blocking the white light. The white light collided with the giant match and exploded.
Tang Mo subconsciously covered his face and chest with his arms but the young woman wasn’t so lucky. The light sphere exploded in front of her, turning her face into a bloody mess. Still, she was a powerful player and didn’t die. The next second, she stared in horror.
A giant match fell from the sky and struck her head without hesitation. There was a clear sound and the young woman’s head was completely broken.
On the other side, the middle-aged man saw the scene and ran away without hesitation. He had just started running when a black weapon pierced his chest from behind. Fu Wenduo pulled out his weapon. The bodies of the middle-aged man and woman fell to the ground, two wooden badges appearing beside them.
Tang Mo gently gasped. He put away the big match and bent over to pick up the two badges. He touched the two badges and tried to pick them up, but his hands kept shaking and he couldn’t hold them.
Fu Wenduo picked up the badges. He turned to look at Tang Mo’s arms.
The flesh was torn and he could see the white bone inside. The blood had stopped but the wounds hadn’t healed. The explosion helped kill the young woman while the flesh on Tang Mo’s arms were blown away.
Tang Mo saw Fu Wenduo grab the badges and asked, “What are the letters?”
Fu Wenduo stared silently at Tang Mo for a moment.
Tang Mo looked at him strangely. “What’s the matter?”
Fu Wenduo stared for a long time before finally shaking his head. “It’s nothing.” “They are a S and P.”
Tang Mo didn’t think too much. His useless arms hung down as he calmly analyzed, “There was an I in the badge they gave. At present, we have already made up one surprise set. I originally thought that the ‘I’ badge was the difficulty of the game and it can’t be obtained from killing the rabbit heads or players. I didn’t expect it to be available.” Tang Mo thought about it. “These two people are likely to be stowaways. Their badges were probably obtained by killing players. We killed rabbits and didn’t get the ‘I’ badge. Does this mean that killing players…” His voice stopped.
Tang Mo looked down at his arms because a cool feeling had hit it.
While Tang Mo was talking, Fu Wenduo took out a small bottle of mineral water and poured it on Tang Mo’s arms. His wounds started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. In 10 seconds, the terrible wounds on his arms were gone.
Fu Wenduo put away the mineral water.
Tang Mo quietly looked at him, his lips opening and closing.
…There was a strange feeling.
Tang Mo often felt this inexplicable feeling when he was with Fu Wenduo. It was strange to describe what it felt like. Tang Mo wasn’t a good talking. He had a lot to say when playing games but otherwise, he couldn’t find a topic. But when playing games with Fu Wenduo or just getting along with this person, Tang Mo didn’t know what to say. He felt that something was wrong and could only shut up.
There was a long silence before Tang Mo asked, “This is Xiao Jitong’s mineral water?”
Fu Wenduo shook his head. “I got it from Fu Wensheng. It seems to be a very common thing in the two Nanjing groups.”
Tang Mo thought of something else. “You killed him?” The young woman was killed by Tang Mo and he was certain that middle-aged man was dead. He went to the middle-aged man’s side to look and found that Fu Wenduo had pierced the person’s heart. It was a decisive action that didn’t give the middle-aged man a chance to respond.
Fu Wenduo asked, “You didn’t want me to kill him?”
Of the two players, the middle-aged man had long wanted to leave. It was the woman who tried to kill Tang Mo. Then the young woman attacked and the middle-aged man didn’t participate.
Tang Mo said, “Women are really strange. Why did she try to kill me?”
Fu Wenduo’s lips curved. “She probably hated you and wanted to kill you because you hurt her face.”
“She is a powerful player. The wound isn’t deep and would definitely recover in a few days.”
Fu Wenduo replied, “But you still hurt her face.”
Tang Mo was speechless. He really didn’t understand women.
The young woman hadn’t concealed her hatred for Tang Mo so Tang Mo wasn’t going to spare them. The moment when he turned away was when the two players were most relaxed and alert. Tang Mo planned to act at that time. He guessed that the two people might sneak attack him and was prepared, but he didn’t expect…
“She still has this type of attack.”
Tang Mo didn’t expect the woman to call the sphere of light to attack Tang Mo. After the largest sphere exploded, the remaining 20 spheres disappeared.
“I didn’t want to kill him,” Tang Mo said as he stood next to the middle-aged man’s body.
Fu Wenduo didn’t hear any deep meaning behind Tang Mo’s words. He looked at Tang Mo and saw the young man’s calm eyes. Tang Mo said, “Next time, if something like this happens… can you give me the kill?”
Fu Wenduo was stunned. His face was unchanged but his brain was working quickly.
…Tang Mo wanted to kill? No, he wanted the person to die by his hands.
Fu Wenduo was about to ask a question when Tang Mo reached out and pulled out a book. Fu Wenduo’s eyes narrowed when he saw this and then his lips curved. He didn’t speak and quietly waited for Tang Mo to explain.
Tang Mo flipped through the book while saying, “We are teammates. I don’t know what your ability is but I have observed a little bit. Understanding the abilities of your teammates is important for cooperating to clear instances. As for my ability… you might’ve already guessed.” Tang Mo’s tone was certain.
Just now, the young woman had shouted that Tang Mo had a lot of abilities yet Fu Wenduo didn’t look surprised at all. His gaze towards Tang Mo was more ridiculing.
This man had long guessed that Tang Mo had more than one ability.
Of course, Tang Mo didn’t intentionally deceive Fu Wenduo. He wanted to tell the other person about his abilities.
“My ability is specific and I’m not particularly clear about it. Just now, I killed the woman. You just have to look at the last page of the book and will probably understand my ability…”
His voice came to a stop.
Fu Wenduo was about to look at the last page of the abilities book when Tang Mo slammed the book shut.
Fu Wenduo was startled. “What’s the matter?”
Tang Mo, “…”
After a while, Tang Mo opened the abilities book and secretly glanced at it. He frowned as he saw the words and forcibly closed the book before looking at Fu Wenduo again.
Tang Mo spoke with no expression. “You don’t have to read this cheap… this book. My ability is very simple so I will tell you.”
Fu Wenduo looked meaningfully at Tang Mo before smiling. “Okay.”
These words were written on the last page of the abilities book:
[Ability: Don’t try to hide a dime!]
[Owner: Lin Yashu (Stowaway)]
[Type: Special Type]
[Function: View the player’s ability by touching the light sphere. After determining the player’s ability, you can use the ability (20% effect) for one minute to one hour.]
[Level: 4]
[Restrictions: You must touch the other person for a long time and you need to directly touch the skin. The higher the ability level, the longer the time you need to touch the person. Touching private areas will shorten this time. If the opponent’s ability level is much higher than yous, the effect of using the ability is greatly reduced. It can be used three times a day.]
[Remark: These old ladies, I don’t have a secret stash of money! I won’t give you a dime!]
[Tang Mo version usage instructions: Can only be used once every three days. The upper limit for using the opponent’s ability is 10% and this is limited to 30 minutes after determining the ability. This low level garbage version of me, I don’t acknowledge it. Of course, Tang Mo might like it very much. He can confidently gay touch other people. Like the person in front of him.]
