The Earth is Online - Chapter 216

[Chapter 216]

The roar of thunder shook the entire castle slightly.

The dim candlelight printed mottled yellow light and shadow on the wall. After the Black Tower announced the rules of the game, seventeen players stood around the long table, and no one said a word. After a long time, a white woman said, “There are only twelve chairs, but there are seventeen of us.”

Yes, there are seventeen dolls in the center of the table, and the black tower also said that there are sixteen players and a black tower monster in the castle. Yet there are only twelve chairs.

Andre said: “There are names posted on the chairs, and Black Tower has already divided us into groups.”

Everyone immediately walked up to them and looked at the chairs.

Under the dim candlelight, distorted names were engraved on the backs of these quaint chairs with sharp tools. Everyone’s name is in English, and the black tower is also very humane to help players hide their identities. Tang Mo looked around, and when he saw the name on the last chair, his eyes narrowed.

The only black woman sneered: “Is there any need to use an English name, it will be exposed anyway, and some people know each other.”

I saw that among the twelve chairs, there were four chairs, and more than one person’s name was engraved on them. There are three chairs engraved with the names of two people, and one chair has three names engraved in English—

Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo… and Bai Ruoyao.

The baby-faced youth blinked in surprise: “Wow, Tang Tang, Major Fu, I’m actually in a group with you.”

Tang Mo’s heart sank, and he looked at the chair next to him again. “Mu Huixue, Andre” was written on it, and there were two chairs belonging to two foreign men and a pair of foreign men and women.

Obviously, the black tower revealed that “these nine people know each other”, and this information was disclosed to all players.

In fact, it is easy to understand. There are seventeen players in this game. The seventh rule of the game: “At the last minute of each day, everyone can exercise the right to vote and cast an object that is considered a monster. The voted Objects will be restricted, and all abilities and props will be unavailable.”

If there were seventeen people and everyone had equal voting rights, then Tang Mo, Mu Huixue and the others would know each other. Once they cooperate, they directly vote for other players with a majority vote, which is unfair to other players. So Black Tower took such a measure, directly teaming them up and forcibly reducing their votes.

The other players stared at the owners of the four chairs with scrutiny eyes. The nine people looked calm, and had nothing to do with the embarrassment and tension of being dismantled.

boom!

Another deafening thunder struck, and at this moment, all the candles in the castle shook. There were candles in the shadows, Tang Mo glanced around vigilantly, and suddenly, a strange sound of gear turning sounded. Everyone held their weapons and looked at the sounding place.

I saw that in the center of the long table, among the seventeen little dolls, one of the little dolls walked forward on the table as if someone had moved the gears. All the players stared coldly at this little puppet, which swayed and slid, and said in a strange and ethereal voice: “Stephen Teslaf looked at me and drew his dagger.”

The voice fell, and the little puppet stopped abruptly and aimed at a blond foreigner. The foreigner’s expression changed, and the dagger in his hand was retracted into his sleeve.

There was a sudden rattling sound in the room, and everyone raised their heads and looked behind the little puppet. I saw the second puppet swayed forward, clicked, and stopped in front of the black woman: “Lina Chocolu looked at me and wanted to kill me angrily.”

At this time, players still can’t understand what happened?

One small puppet after another wobbly moved in front of each player, calling out each player’s name. It is impossible to disguise one’s name or exchange names with teammates. Seventeen puppets have spoken out everyone’s name, and almost revealed the nationality of some people.

However, the same nationality does not mean that they know each other. Tang Mo was surprised to see a small puppet running in front of a foreign woman and shouting “Xia Li” to her.

Is this a Chinese player? !

The blonde short-haired foreign woman whose name was called gave Tang Mo a cold look and said nothing.

After all the puppets were in place, they all paused for a second, and then sang a nursery rhyme in unison.

“Seventeen little puppets, encountered a big flood. They were washed away by the water and couldn’t be saved. There are sixteen left.”

“Sixteen little puppets, everyone guards against each other. The fire burned to black coal, and there are fifteen left.”

…

“A little puppet, scared to death in seven days. No one cares and is scared to death, not a single one is left.”

“La la la, la la la…”

“Shh, here comes Noah! Here comes Noah!”

“Noah ate the puppet, and the puppets died.”

The treacherous singing stopped abruptly, and the little puppet in front of Tang Mo suddenly said, “There are only twelve guests at Noah’s dinner table.”

Fu Wenduo’s little puppet said, “There is a white ticket in front of the chair, sit on the chair and write your name.”

The little puppet practicing Yuzheng said: “Each guest can vote once, not many votes.”

The puppet of the foreign old man said: “Twelve chairs, twelve tickets, no one is allowed to have more.”

“The results of the vote must be kept secret, no one will know.”

“Hey, there’s a red ticket, what is that?”

Everyone immediately looked at the table. When the little puppets said these words in turn, twelve white tickets appeared on the table, and soon, twelve red tickets appeared.

Andre’s little puppet said, “I know, I know. That’s a six, that’s a six.”

“There are endless white tickets, and only one red ticket.”

“There is only one ticket per person, only one ticket.”

“White votes are cast every day, and red votes are cast once. Who do you think is the bad monster?”

Suddenly, the voice of the eleventh puppet became sharp: “Write him, write him! Write him and you will win, write him and you will win!”

“What if I make a mistake? What if I make a mistake?”

The thirteenth puppet gave a weird laugh.

The fourteenth little puppet said in a naive voice: “If you write a mistake, you can’t get six, you can’t get six, and there is no clue.”

The fifteenth puppet ran two laps around the red and white tickets.

The sixteenth puppet: “Write his name and note your teammates.”

The seventeenth puppet sang excitedly: “Grab six, grab six!”

The last sound of grabbing six, like the sound of fingernails on glass, was sharp and piercing, causing the player to frown. After saying all this, the puppets all stopped and stopped talking. Like uniform soldiers, they turned around in unison, ran back to the center of the long table, and then turned around together, staring at each player with weird wooden eyes.

On the other side, there was only a humming sound, and on the wall of the castle, the huge clock rumbled and rumbled. Its second hand runs at six times the speed of an ordinary second hand, and 10 seconds go a minute.

There was bright sunlight outside the window. Andre was standing by the window. He looked out and turned back: “There is no sun, but it is clear that it is daytime.”

Seventeen people glanced at each other one by one, and it was unknown who pulled out the chair first and sat on it. Soon, one by one, the players sat down on their chairs. Players who are assigned to the same chair choose one person to sit on.

Andre let Mu Huixue sit on it, Bai Ruoyao looked at the chair and giggled. At this moment, Tang Mo said lightly, “You sit.”

Bai Ruoyao paused for a while, then turned his head: “Tang Tang, I heard it right, you let me sit?”

Tang Mo nodded and said, “You sit.”

The player who sits on this chair obviously has the right to vote actively. Bai Ruoyao never thought that he could grab the right to vote from Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. In addition to exposing the fact that players know each other, this game of the Black Tower also leads to another thing: only one player in the same chair has the right to vote.

No matter how well the players negotiated before voting, only the person in the chair can vote. For example, Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, and Bai Ruoyao discussed and voted for Mu Huixue this time. Bai Ruoyao promised well in advance, but in the end, he turned against the water and voted for Tang Mo, then Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo couldn’t stop it.

Originally thought it would not be my turn, but now I take the initiative to send it to the door. Bai Ruoyao suddenly felt rebellious: “Don’t sit, Tang Tang, I’m so embarrassed to sit, why don’t you sit.”

Fu Wenduo lowered his eyes: “Sit or not.”

Bai Ruoyao: “…”

Thinking about the odds of winning against the two of them alone, Bai Ruoyao shrugged and sat down with a smile.

It’s a good thing to not sit for nothing.

After Bai Ruoyao was seated, all twelve chairs were filled with people.

A middle-aged man glanced at everyone and said in a low voice: “Heita said that the monster is very good at disguising, so I think that even if we ask a lot of things, such as things that only humans know, the monster will definitely be able to say it. .”

No one refuted him.

The middle-aged man said: “Then now, I want to say one thing first. The names of almost all of the seventeen players here have been notified by Black Tower Global in the past six months. Who are you? I know. You know who I am, actually.”

A sarcastic laughter sounded: “Of course you know, your Russian area was forced to attack the tower.”

The middle-aged man’s face sank, and he slapped the table with his palm. The long table trembled violently, and a deep fingerprint was branded into the table. The white male who mocked him was not nervous at all. Looking at the handprint, he smiled and said, “Is it brute force, so it’s so slow to clear the fifth floor?”

“Okay, stop arguing. I don’t think everyone thought about cooperation at all.”

Everyone turned to look at the black woman, only to see her sitting on a chair, and said coldly: “Don’t talk nonsense, this is only the first day and night. It is obviously unrealistic to want to catch that monster at this time. Yes. There is a six-game mode, and it is impossible for us to cooperate. It is not realistic for everyone to form a team and attack the sixth floor together, because no one knows where the monsters are. Then there is something, I hope everyone can do it.”

Tang Mo: “What’s the matter?”

The black woman glanced at Tang Mo: “What everyone said during the day, please be sure to tell everyone on this table.”

Some players frowned in displeasure, while most players showed a natural expression.

Bai Ruoyao smiled meaningfully and said, “The monster must be among the seventeen people. It’s hard to catch it, but it can’t be caught first. We all have to go into the room at night and can’t come out. In the daytime, as long as Seventeen people are all acting together, at least everyone’s words and deeds are transparent, there is no behavior of finding clues in private? Wow, this is how unconfident of their own strength, hee hee, I feel that as long as we separate, others will Surely you can find clues you can’t find?”

The black woman squinted her eyes: “What do you mean?”

Bai Ruoyao was about to provoke again, but Fu Wenduo held down the back of the chair: “We agree with this proposal.”

Bai Ruoyao pouted and stopped talking.

“I agree.”

“I agree.”

Fifteen of the seventeen players agreed.

There were two other people who disagreed, and the black woman asked, “I disagree, is it because one of the two of you is a monster from the Black Tower?”

The two glared at the black woman, taunted “rubbish”, and then said, “Agree.”

Two hours passed quickly. During these two hours, everyone gathered around the long table and observed the players around them. In the first day, everyone spoke very little and never revealed any secrets. In this silent stare, they took the other’s message to heart, and waited until the last minute of the two hours of daylight had passed.

“Ding Dong! On the first day of voting, players are requested to write the names of the players they want to vote on the white votes.”

The old white man spoke for the first time: “I propose that everyone write their own names. No one can find the monster on the first day, and there is no point in writing other people’s names.”

After hearing this, the rest of the players looked at the old man with a thoughtful look. The old man looked indifferent, lowered his head and wrote a name. He seemed to really write his name, and then put the white ticket upside down on the table.

Everyone starts writing names together.

Tang Mo looked down, and Bai Ruoyao confidently wrote down a name on the white paper——

“George Anson”

It was the name of the old white man.

After writing their names, everyone pulled out their chairs and went back to the second floor.

Tang Mo and Fu Wen were at the end of the crowd. When all seventeen people walked up the stairs, Tang Mo looked back at the long table. I saw that all twelve white tickets were upside down and placed on the table. The seventeen little puppets stood quietly in the center of the table while the candlelight swayed. Tang Mo suddenly saw a small puppet move slightly, his heart tightened, and he took a closer look.

There was no movement.

As night fell, twelve groups of players entered their own rooms.

Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, and Bai Ruoyao entered the door with their names on it, and there were three beds in it.

Behind the door of the room was written: “Please find your own bed.”

Tang Mo walked to his bed. On the head of the bed was written: “Please lie down, pull up the quilt, and sleep peacefully.” He turned his head and looked at Fu Wenduo, and the two nodded lightly.

Bai Ruoyao’s exaggerated voice sounded, and he complained, “Why are there three beds, shouldn’t we be sleeping together?”

Saying so, Bai Ruoyao’s body was very honest and obeyed Heita’s request, obediently climbed into the bed, and pulled the quilt.

After Tang Mo got into the quilt, he found that he was not forced to fall asleep by Heita. However, when they entered the room, there was a dead silence outside the room. With the current hearing of the three of them, they could not hear a single sound, as if something had blocked the sound.

Tang Mo: “Heita said that three random players can leave the room every night, and when they leave the room, even the players in the same room will not be able to find out.” Tang Mo did not doubt the rules of the black tower, and he even guessed , the black tower will not allow players in the same room to communicate with players who are eligible to go out. He said: “So tonight, among the three of us, maybe someone has the qualifications to leave the room.”

Eligibility doesn’t mean you have to leave. but……

“This is the only chance to get in touch with other players alone.” Fu Wenduo said.

Bai Ruoyao giggled: “It may also be a chance to come into contact with monsters alone.”

Tang Mo: “If any of the three of us is qualified to go out, tell the other two during the day, and let’s discuss countermeasures together.”

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were teammates, of course they wouldn’t hide from each other. He said this to Bai Ruoyao.

Bai Ruoyao didn’t seem to hear it, he said with a smile, “I’ll sing you a song. I haven’t tried sleeping in the same room with others for a long time. I didn’t expect that I was sleeping with Tang Tang and Major Fu. I’m so lucky. Eh, Tang Tang, what do you like to hear?”

Tang Mo ignored him.

Bai Ruoyao said again, “Major Fu, what do you like to hear?”

The two ignored him, and Bai Ruoyao was not discouraged, and said to himself, “Then I’ll sing.”

An out-of-tune tune suddenly sounded in the room.

Tang Mo turned his head expressionlessly and looked in Fu Wenduo’s direction. Fu Wenduo also looked at him quietly.

In the room, Bai Ruoyao’s harsh singing continued to echo, and Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other. After a long time, Tang Mo’s calm voice sounded: “Okay, don’t sing, we’re sure it’s you, not a monster.” With such an unpleasant voice and such a humble attitude, who else could it be if it wasn’t Bai Ruoyao.

Bai Ruoyao’s singing stopped abruptly, and after a while, he said aggrievedly: “Tang Tang, so you think of me like that?” After speaking, as if he was not convinced, the baby-faced youth sang a second song: ” I’m obviously sincerely singing a lullaby for you.”

Tang Mo sneered.

So far, Tang Mo has made clear the identities of the three people.

He, Bai Ruoyao and Fu Wenduo.

None of the three were disguised as monsters.

Needless to say, when he saw Fu Wenduo, he knew that this person was Victor, not a monster. He believed that Fu Wenduo was the same.

Two hours passed quickly, and there was no sleep at night.

The sunlight poured into the room from the window, and the three of them pulled away the quilt at the fastest speed and got out of bed. When Tang Mo opened the door, Mu Huixue and Andre happened to walk past his door, their expressions changed slightly and they were in a hurry.

Tang Mo’s heart sank and he walked out the door. As he walked, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Mu Huixue stopped, looked at him and Fu Wenduo, and at Bai Ruoyao who was walking slowly at the end. She was about to open her mouth to explain, but her mouth opened and closed again. She raised her hand directly and pointed forward. Tang Mo looked in the direction of her finger, and the moment his eyes touched the other side, his eyes froze suddenly.

I saw a black woman lying down on the stairs at the corner of the corridor on the second floor, with her eyes wide open, staring straight ahead.

Her clothes were soaked all over, as if she was drowning, her skin was pale, and there were some white mushroom-like foam on her nose and mouth. Below her, the light-colored wooden floor was stained dark by water. The old white man who lived in the room closest to the stairs was the first to find the body. He crouched down, checked his body, and turned his head to look at the other fifteen players.

Under the pale hair, the old man said calmly, “Dead, drowned.”
