Chapter 13: Three kinds of murderers. The ==================== NO_TRANS_CHAPTER_CONTENT_13

"Stowaways all have a very, very foul odor on them. The Black Tower hates stowaways, and you can get a lot of rewards and massive power by eating them. Stowaways' meat is also particularly delicious, something I didn't tell anyone."

The giant mole narrowed those tiny eyes and crushed the remnants of Huo Ji's bones on the ground with one foot. "There is an abominable stowaway among the seven of you. Hand him over and I'll eat him!"

The Great Mole approached step by step.

The cook woke up in a daze and looked up just in time to see the large mole's sharp claws and screamed in terror. The mole let out a sharp hiss at him, and the cook nearly passed out again in terror.

Tang Mo touched his wrist, the pattern of the large match was no longer on his wrist. According to what the mole said just now, if this match could accompany Tang Mo through the second level, it meant that it must have been useful in the first level as well. Tang Mo could feel that he was not utilizing the match's function, he was just waving it blindly.

Had he been given a little more time to attack the tower later, he might have been able to make more foolproof preparations.

...... So why start attacking the tower early now!

The name of the stowaway who started the tower attack game flashed through Tang Mo's mind, but he didn't have time to complain as he calmly asked, "Which one is the stowaway, and how do we find him and get him to you?"

Li Wen and Lin Qiao simultaneously widened their eyes and looked at Tang Mo.

Luo Fengcheng glanced at him and did not say anything. The little girl, Peng Liwen, looked at Tang Mo with a blank face and twinkling eyes, as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but say, "Really hand it over? This mole says he wants to eat people ......"

Tang Mo looked indifferent and asked, "So you were its dinner instead of the stowaway?"

Lin Qiao choked for a moment.

Luo Fengcheng's faint voice rang out, ''The stowaway is a murderer, perhaps he killed someone out of necessity, perhaps he killed someone in self-defense. In the outside world the law might not have sentenced him to death, but the Black Tower detests stowaways and has already sentenced him to death. We're just finding out about the stowaway, the rest is none of our business."

Li Bin shifted his expression and nodded, "Well, yeah ...... we're just trying to find out who the stowaway is."

The big mole gave a giggle, "How do I know which one the stowaway is. My burrow isn't big enough to find the stowaway with the smell of the stowaway wafting all over the burrow with you bunch of humans gathered together. I'll give you all an hour to find the wretched stowaway. If I can't find it, I'll eat a human an hour and be sure to eat the stowaway." Big Mole looks over to Tang Mo : "Oh yeah, you're close to Mosaic and lent me matches ...... Then I'll eat you last."

Tang Mo didn't react well to the boon.

The big mole looked at Tang Mo's impassive look and gave another chittering laugh as it ran around the corner and started digging. It seemed to want to dig its burrow bigger, and after digging two chunks it turned its head again, "It's been two minutes, have you found the stowaways?"

Cold sweat broke out on the heads of the crowd as they listened to the big mole.

Li Bin looked at all of them and asked through clenched teeth, "Let me ask this once, during those three days, did any of ...... you kill anyone?"

No doubt everyone shook their heads.

"I figured it would be." From the moment he entered the cave, this white-collar elite was the leader's model, and now was no exception. Li Bin forced himself to be calm and began to analyze the situation, "This mole said that the stowaway was the one who eliminated the players by killing them during those three days. The stowaway must have possessed psychic powers and a very foul odor. I don't smell this odor, do you guys smell it?"

Lin Qiao shook his head, "No. I've always had a keen sense of smell, and there's only the smell of earth here."

Everyone said no, Li Bin's face hardened, "Then maybe this smell can't be smelled by us humans, only they can smell it. Damn, how are we going to find the smugglers!"

Luo Fengcheng: "Stowaways have killed people and have psychic powers."

The cook couldn't keep up with everyone because he was in a long coma and hadn't heard the big mole's science. "Murder? Alien powers? Wait, what the hell is going on?"

People didn't have time to explain it to him. Li Bin asked, "Killed people, had powers. So?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Bin suddenly turned his head to Tang Mo: "You must have supernatural powers!"

Tang Mo just made a big match out of thin air, that's definitely not humanly possible, it's an extraordinary ability.

Li Wen explained for Tang Mo, "Big Mole said that out of the seven of us, there are two official players, four reservists and one stowaway. Official players are those who log in to the Black Tower by participating in its official games, so Tang Mo must be an official player. He knows someone called Mosaic, that person knows Big Mole and must be related to the Black Tower game as well."

Tang Mo : "I did come in as part of the Black Tower game and am considered an official player according to the Big Mole."

Li Bin, however, shook his head, "Before today, you might have indeed participated in the Black Tower game, but no one can guarantee that you participated in the Black Tower game within those three days. Now four days have passed since the Black Tower issued the 'Earth Online' announcement. Who can be sure that you didn't play the game on the fourth day and killed someone during those three days?"

Tang Mo suddenly felt a bit amused, and he was just about to retort when he heard Luo Fengcheng say, ''He's an official player. The Black Tower loathes stowaways, and stowaways smell. If he wasn't a formal player, then he must have been discovered by Big Mole's companion, Mosaic, before he met Big Mole. He wouldn't have survived to this day and gotten that Mosaic match just now."

Tang Mo looked at Luo Fengcheng in surprise, and the latter also looked at him.

Both of them didn't say anything else, and the others also heard it. Li Bin said, "It makes sense, ninety percent possibility, you are indeed an official player. There's also a ten percent chance that you're a stowaway, and you didn't know what means you used to hide your flavor before, and weren't discovered by that mosaic."

After a pause, Li Bin suddenly walked to the center of the seven and looked at everyone seriously, "Now I confess, I am the second official player."

Tang Mo was a bit surprised.

Li Bin smiled bitterly and raised his right hand, "My psychic ability is very cockamamie, I don't want to reveal too much about my specific abilities, but in the current situation, it's not useful at all. However, I can disguise the effects of my psychic ability for you guys."

Altered powers are everyone's secret, and it's understandable that they don't want to reveal them.

Li Bin crouched down on the ground, stretched out his right finger and started to draw a circle on the ground. Smooth and rounded curves gradually appeared on the ground, this was an extremely neat circle, the last stroke fell exactly at the starting point, from beginning to end, forming a perfect and closed circle.

This is a circle drawn without tools and purely with the fingers.

Lin Qiao's eyes widened, "So round? Your supernatural ability couldn't be 'being able to draw a circle without a compass', right?"

What kind of psychic ability is that?

Tang Mo frowned slightly, "Although this circle is too neat, it doesn't mean that you have supernatural abilities, you might have learned to draw professionally."

Li Bin said, "Then look again."

Only Li Bin stretched out his finger and drew another circle next to the one he had just made. Week after week, full and round, this circle was again an extremely perfect circle, and at a closer look.

"Ah! Isn't this exactly the same size as that circle just now?!" Lin Qiao exclaimed.

Li Bin had a hopeless look on his face, "I don't want to say exactly what my powers are, but I think you guys should believe that I have powers, right? I'm the one remaining official player."

"You ...... have supernormal abilities, why can t you be a stowaway?" The little girl, Peng Liwen, stood behind Lin Qiao and spoke timidly, her face pale.

Li Bin : "I've come forward to say that I'm an official player, can I still be a stowaway? Kid, if I were a stowaway, I would definitely be hiding it now, not letting others know that I have psychic abilities. Now out of the seven of us, only this brother is the safest." He pointed at Tang Mo, "He's eight out of ten | nine out of ten really is a full-fledged player. Big Mole said that reservists can also have psychic abilities, but the chances are low, so we'll assume he doesn't. Then there's a 50/50 chance that the next person to show up with psychic powers will be a stowaway."

Li Bin seriously analyzed, "In this situation, I took the initiative to come forward and reveal to you that I have supernormal abilities. This proves that I'm not afraid of shadows, right?"

Li Wen, standing next to Tang Mo, interjected, "You could also be utilizing our reverse thinking."

Li Bin, however, said, "In that case, you have the third person with psychic abilities come forward. As long as he dares to come forward, he must be a stowaway. Because I know that I haven't killed anyone, I've participated in the game. This little brother is also an official player. Then the third one with psychic abilities is definitely a stowaway!"

Tang Mo: "I believe in you."

Li Bin had been acting very calm just now, but in reality, his lips had been trembling slightly. Now he suddenly heard Tang Mo's words, he was so excited that he shivered and walked directly to Tang Mo's side: "Brother, thank you. I'm really an official player, I can tell you all about the games I've played, I'll tell you how I won that game, all of it."

Tang Mo laughed and shook her head, "You don't have to say it specifically, each of us has to say it."

Inside the dimly lit underground burrow, the large mole crunched and dug, his mouth blowing a pleasurable whistle.

Seven people gathered together before naming what each person had experienced over the course of three days.

Luo Fengcheng earnestly scanned over everyone's face and said, "All the killings in this world, I roughly categorize them into three kinds."

"The first, the accidental type. This is the most common cause of murder, very often people are emotional and can't control themselves, they may kill by mistake; or over-defense, a careless accident, may kill someone. This is unintentional. If the stowaway among us had killed someone accidentally because of an accident, he would have been emotionally disturbed when the Big Mole stated the definition of a stowaway, feeling that he had been exposed, and his heart was weak and something stormy|revealed."

Li Wen was shocked, "Ah, then you didn't tell me earlier. It's been so long now, who knows what everyone's reaction was at the time."

Tang Mo said, "I paid attention. Everyone's reaction was pretty normal, not too excited."

Luo Fengcheng glanced at Tang Mo, "He's right."

Tang Mo hasn't let her guard down since she entered the cave. After a deadly two-player game, Tang Mo can't trust these strange "teammates".

Luo Fengcheng continued, "So 80% probability, that stowaway among us, is not an accidental crime, he knows he's killing people, and he's doing it on purpose. The second pattern of killing is the murderous type. Just simply to kill, the reason is usually to fulfill their own various perverted psychological or physical needs."

Everyone touched their necks and it was a little cold.

This type of murderer is not uncommon, and serial killers basically fall into this category.

But Tang Mo frowns.

I only heard Luo Fengcheng finally say, "I think this stowaway among us should belong to the third type. Intentionally killing people, but without the intention to kill. He knows that he is killing, but is not a murderous person. He has his own reasons for killing. That's why he won't be surprised when it's revealed, because he already knew what he had done and why he did it."

Li Wen gulped, "...... I also don't think there should be any crazy sociopathic murderers among us."

Lin Qiao felt a bit cold, "I agree. It should be the third one."

Tang Mo had been very quiet as he listened to Luo Feng Cheng finish all his words, he walked up to Luo Feng Cheng and said with a smile, "What you said does make sense. So can we continue with our previous topic now? How about we start with you. Mr. Luo, what did you do in those three days? Are you really a game designer? Where do you work?"

Luo Feng Cheng raised his head slightly and looked at the black-haired young man in front of him.

Tang Mo's expression wasn't overly aggressive, but there was a hint of skepticism and questioning in her gaze.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Luo Fengcheng took out an ID from his pocket and handed it over, "During those three days, I was under the Black Tower for the Black Tower Research Experiment. Formally, I would like to recognize you, the leader of the Black Tower Research Institute's Shanghai Division A, Luo Fengcheng."
