Chapter 15: Reward my ass!

"Your first sentence says, 'I'm not a stowaway either.' This sentence is saying, 'I'm not a stowaway, like the people in front of me'." The little girl, her face full of tears, kept shaking her head in denial, and Tang Mo said, "Given the current situation, there is no doubt that I am the least likely to be a stowaway, followed by him, and then him." Tang Mo pointed over Li Bin and Luo Feng Cheng one by one.

He looked up, "Yet there is no one who can be sure, who is certainly not a stowaway, and it is possible that I am. But you admit in your first sentence that the cook who spoke before you is not a stowaway. The only one who knows for sure that he is not a stowaway is the stowaway himself."

The little girl's body trembled and she kept wiping her tears, but now no one dared to go near her or comfort her anymore.

No matter how soft she looked, this was always a murderer.

Li Bin also nodded his head vigorously, ''Not bad, I felt that something was wrong with you when I heard what you said. Of all the things that happened in those three days, you are the one who remembers them the most clearly, and you were able to name the exact time. You must have made up a lie a long time ago to be able to say it so smoothly."

This was so obvious that when Li Bin pointed it out, it dawned on all three of Li Wen.

"So that's how it is! You must be a stowaway, and a child that young can kill? That's too scary."

The little girl was still trying hard to argue, "I don ...... t have it", but after crying and shouting a few times, she also seemed to think that it was impossible for anyone to believe her again, so she gave up struggling, stopped talking, and just kept crying.

Tang Mo ignored the cook's exclamation as he said, "Mr. Lowe, do you think that's a correct guess?"

Luo Fengcheng had been standing by the side without saying anything, and Tang Mo suddenly directed the topic to him as he asked rhetorically, ''Now who is the stowaway, is there still a need to guess? The other clues can go without saying, these two points are already enough to prove who the stowaway is. Only I am quite curious ...... who did you kill?"

The crowd turned their full attention to the little girl.

As many tears as there are, they will dry up, but one's fear will not go away.

In the corner of the underground cavern, the large mole clicked and dug, whistling a sneering, shrill whistle. It pulled out a bloody piece of meat from somewhere and chewed it in a big mouth, its tiny eyes quietly looking at the seven people. The little girl was trembling with fear, she couldn't shed any more tears, she looked at Lin Qiao for help, the college girl was still soft-hearted, she turned her head away from her, not looking at her, her eyes were not seeing her.

After a long time, a hoarse voice sounded softly.

"Do you all think that I am a stowaway ...... Yes, I killed him, but that does not count as murder, not at all!" The little girl lowered her head, no one could have imagined that the little girl who was crying so pitifully just now would have a voice so cold that it seemed like cold iron, and she jerked her head up, "Can that be considered murder? I gave him life, he shouldn't have survived at all, he shouldn't have!"

The sound of being driven to desperation rang through the cavern, shrill and piercing.

It was only then that many people remembered that this little girl looked very thin and weak, and her face looked bad, but she was already fifteen years old. Fifteen years old was not small, and just because the little girl looked short, you couldn't think that this was a child who didn't know any better. She was almost an adult.

Tang Mo frowned in surprise. This answer was completely out of his expectation, and without waiting for him to speak, Luo Fengcheng had already said, "It wasn't your parents you killed?"

A miserable and helpless expression crossed the little girl's face, "How could I have killed my mom and dad, they were so good to me. What I killed was that sinful seed that shouldn't have been born at all!"

The answer was obvious, and by this time, even the least cerebral cook understood.

The little girl said in an icy voice, "You guys say I'm lying, but I'm not really lying. Those words don't need to be made up at all, because for the past three months, this is the kind of life I've been living. I was stupid and went to Wuhan to meet an online friend, and I ended up getting knocked up by him. He didn't want me anymore, so I had to go home. It turned out that the baby couldn't be aborted, and the doctor said that at more than seven months, it couldn't be aborted, and it was likely that I would never be able to have another child again, and even that my life would be in danger. I didn't want that baby at all, but my mom said she didn't want me to regret it later or take that kind of risk, that the baby would be raised by them, and that I should give birth to the thing."

The little girl lifted that tear-stained face and swept her eyes over everyone present.

"I'm not as smart as you guys, I'm not as useful as you guys, but I just want to live and get by. Then three days ago I was hospitalized and the next night I gave birth to that thing."

Tang Mo's eyes flashed.

In fact, there were two other glaring holes in the little girl's words.

For one thing, she said that her mother did not care about the Black Tower and helped her with her homework when she was not at work. If her mother really wasn't afraid of the Black Tower, and still had the time to care about her daughter's studies, then why did she say the words "Don't be afraid" the next night? What is there to be afraid of about the Black Tower? This is inconsistent.

Tang Mo originally thought that the little girl had failed to make up a lie, but now it seems that the phrase "don't be afraid" was a way of telling her not to be afraid, to work hard to have the baby, and not to be afraid of whatever happens in the future.

"As long as you're good, I'm good" is saying that as a mother, she will do everything in her power to protect her child from a desperate situation.

The little girl s expression was fierce, but her eyes crossed a trace of regret and reluctance, and her tone was firm: "That night he was crying, I lost sleep, and I didn t hold ...... back to kill him. I used a pillow to cover his mouth, he slowly stopped crying. I killed him, can be considered to kill? He was my child, I gave him life, why shouldn't I take it away! He shouldn't even exist!"

Lin Qiao couldn't help but say, "You may not give him life, it was a mistake for you to conceive him, it was both your fault and the father's, not his. But in any case you gave him life, he is qualified to live. You are killing people!"

"He'll ruin my life, and I'm only fifteen!" The little girl's eyes reddened again with sadness.

Tang Mo faded, "He was just born."

The little girl choked abruptly and silently lowered her head, no longer speaking.

The truth wasn't what Tang Mo had expected. He had thought that the little girl had accidentally killed someone, most likely her parents. Because she was so young and naive, she had no sense of guilt and everything she said was a lie. Instead, the truth was that the little girl had killed someone on purpose, and killed her own child. She hated that child and couldn't wait for him to die, so even when it was revealed, she had no guilt and was unperturbed.

The cook rubbed his hands together excitedly, "So we found the stowaway, right? We can stop dying, right? That big mole wants her, not us."

That came out a little harshly, and Li Bin frowned, "Well, she's already admitted she's a stowaway."

Tang Mo : "What's your psychic ability?" Stowaways, like regular players, must have special abilities. The little girl had just been caught and almost eaten by a giant mole, but she didn't even show her special ability. Tang Mo thought for a moment, "Is it related to that flashlight?"

The little girl wiped the tears from her face, "You want to know about my powers?"

Not only Tang Mo, Luo Fengcheng also said, "It should have something to do with the flashlight."

The little girl clenched her fingers and suddenly let out a strange laugh, "Yes, just I'm a stowaway, and you're going to give me to that mole. Mommy's dead, Daddy's dead, and I'm going to die ...... and you're not going to live!"

In a flash, a huge match appeared in the little girl's hand.

Probably because she had just given birth, even with her powers and improved physique, the little girl was still very short and thin. The match was almost half as big as her, and she ran towards the crowd waving the large match, the first person she rushed towards was the cook who had just gloated and told her to go to hell.

"I'll kill you, you won't live if I die!!!"

The power of a big match the crowd had just seen.

Everyone was shocked to see the little girl pulling out a match out of thin air, and Tang Mo was so surprised that she couldn't react for a moment. This match was exactly the same as Tang Mo's match, if it was really Tang Mo's match, then this match could knock the big mole back two steps, and its power was not something that they could fight against.

The cook didn't realize the power of the matches because he had already passed out by then. When he saw the little girl running at him, he subconsciously tried to catch the match and at the same time slammed his fist at the little girl's stomach. But before his hand could touch the little girl's clothes, the match hit him on the top of his head with a loud bang.

"Bang--"

The cook's head was smashed out of a crater, and blood was pouring out.

The scene is all too familiar, as Tang Mo once killed Qian Sankun, a thief, by mistake in the same way.

But the cook did not die immediately. He collapsed in agony, and soon blood was streaming down his face. His body convulsed, and the little girl swung her match straight up to strike it again, when a black shadow leaped forward quickly and grabbed her large match.

The big mole's sharp paws firmly gripped the big match, unable to hide his excitement, "Mosaic of matches? Delicious Huo Ji?Ah, Black Tower, why are you so kind to me today, sending me a second one ......"

"Ka-ching-"

The big mole clenched his paws and before he could finish his sentence, the match snapped and the head fell to the ground.

The big mole froze for a moment, blinking his little eyes and staring dumbly at the match that had broken in two, as if it were an animated doll in an American cartoon of the last century that had had the pause button pressed.

"No! How could Mosaic's matches be strangled so easily! It's not a mosaic match! You lied to me!"

A hint of ferocity flashed in the eyes of the large mole, and it brushed its head and turned to look at the little girl. The little girl's face turned pale, trembling as she fell back a few steps. The big mole whistled shrilly, as fast as lightning, and slapped the little girl's head, and instantly, brains splattered everywhere. It grabbed the little girl's hands with its claws, bent down its huge head, and bit down on the little girl's face, ripping off a bloody piece of flesh.

"Ah!"

The college girl was so scared that her face turned white and she sat paralyzed, turning her head and not daring to look at it.

The cook fell in a pool of blood, alive or dead.

Li Wen and Li Bin couldn't watch such a bloody scene either, and like the college girls, they turned their heads away from it.

Tang Mo was unguardedly looking a few more times, he quickly turned his head, and in his afterglow, he saw Luo Fengcheng surprisingly watching the scene of the big mole devouring the little girl without blinking, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

The strong smell of blood filled the cavern, and when the sound of the large mole swallowing and grinding his teeth died down, Tang Mo turned his head. On the ground was a thick pool of blood, and several bones lay in the blood, wet with bright red blood. The giant mole took one of the little girl's ribs and began picking its teeth, and as it did so, it looked at the few remaining people with a sinister gaze.

Li Wen, Lin Qiao and Li Bin all inevitably ran away and vomited.

Tang Mo stifled a strong feeling of revulsion and walked over to the cook and probed his nostrils. He was silent for a moment, turned his head and said, "Dead."

Li Wen The three of them changed color.

I didn't realize that the cook was still killed by a match from the little girl.

The Great Mole said disdainfully, "This fake mosaic of a match really doesn't work. If it was a real match, he would have been dead for sure the moment it hit him. This impostor's item is only 20% of the quality of the real one, but her alien ability is quite interesting, copying any item seen within 24 hours, capped at two times per day. It's a pity that the level of the ability is too low, it can only copy small useless things, she can't really copy the matches of the mosaic."

Tang Mo said, "You know about her powers?"

Big Mole said rightfully, "I've eaten her, so of course Black Tower told me about her powers. That stinking stowaway, if she could actually duplicate Mosaic's matches that would be great, then I might consider not eating her and asking her to duplicate them for me every day!"

Luo Fengcheng said, ''Her supernormal ability turned out to be like this. Then the flashlight makes sense, when she came to a dark environment all of a sudden, the first thing she thought of must be lighting. It just so happens that she had seen a flashlight within 24 hours and copied one."

Tang Mo nodded approvingly.

From the beginning, Tang Mo's greatest suspicion was the little girl.

It was daytime before they were pulled into this tower attack game. Why would a little girl carry a flashlight around in broad daylight? Even if it was true that she had the flashlight in her hand all the time and held it when she entered the game, but after sliding down such a long tunnel, her body being constantly jostled around and Tang Mo being knocked around, a little girl was actually holding the flashlight in her dead hands and didn't let it get knocked out of her hands?

It doesn't make sense.

"Dingdong! Side quest two 'Find that damn stowaway' is complete!"

Tang Mo inexplicably felt that it seemed to be a little happy when the crisp childish voice rang out. Is it because of killing a stowaway?

Tang Mo did not have the joy of a game victory at this moment, and his gaze calmly looked at the two puddles of blood on the ground. The cook's body was still lying in a pool of blood, and he was afraid that it was now stiff and cold. And the little girl was only left with a few bones, and the big mole picked up one of her ribs to pick the teeth on the other side.

In the cave, Li Wen and Lin Qiao are still vomiting.

Tang Mo looks at the two puddles of blood in silence and looks up, "You just said Mosaic's matches were awesome, is it really that awesome?"

The big mole gave a twittering laugh: "That's right, hard and rigid, the most important thing is that it can bake a very delicious Huo Ji ...... amount ...... "I just ate a Huo Ji, and then I ate A stowaway, the big mole was obviously in a good mood, it rubbed its head, "Right Oh, it's really not very good to take your matches to roast a chicken, so how about this ...... I'll give you a Huo Ji egg?"

The big mole began to dig, and in three strokes he made a big hole, revealing countless white Huo Ji eggs.

"You humans can't hatch Huo Ji, but Huo Ji eggs are delicious. I will bear the pain ......" The big mole took out an ordinary white egg from the hundreds of Huo Ji eggs, closed his eyes, and handed it to Tang Mo with a pained look: "Here, take this egg and eat it, don't say that I am stingy. My Uncle Mole is the kindest and loveliest little creature in the dungeon."

Tang Mo: "......"

"Dingdong! Obtained Side Quest 1 Prize: Giant Huo Ji Egg!"

Receiving the white Huo Ji egg, Tang Mo noticed that the mole's fur was more shiny and the mole seemed to be a little bigger.

Could eating stowaways really be empowering?

But there seemed to be a bit of dark fog next to the big mole's head, and when Tang Mo fixed his eyes on it again, that fog was suddenly gone. It was probably a mistake.

Li Wen said, "Ah, then do we have Huo Ji eggs? We also helped you bake chicken ...... er, at least helped you find the stowaways, right? Is there a reward?"

Big Mole gave Li Wen a disgusted look and smiled sinisterly, "Reward? There is."

The great mole twisted his body, his buttocks rose, and with a rumble, he let out an incredibly smelly, incredibly loud fart.

"Reward my ass!"

Crowd: "......"

Tang Mo, Accidentally Implicated : "......"
