Chapter 223: Noah: Where's my BBQ!
In the silence of the spacious castle, Lena Jopphos and her companion Dond Saivik were completely dead. At this point, only Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, Mu Huixue, Andre, Yu Zheng, Takao Yamamoto, Li Xia, and two American players, Bale Fusco and John Blues, are left in the sixth level of the tower attack game "Noah's Dinner on the Ark". John Blues.
Nine in all.
No, actually, there are ten more.
Mu Huixue slowly turned her head towards the old white man who had collapsed on the ground due to the overuse of her powers. She narrowed her eyes and was about to open her mouth when a red flying insect whooshed towards the back of the old man's head, quickly shooting through the entire skull. The old man's eyes widened, and on his forehead was a black bloody hole.
Takao Yamamoto coldly retrieves the bug.
Li Xia looks at him in dismay, "You?"
Everyone knew that there was a 90% chance that the old man was not a monster. Like the two European players, he just wanted to kill all the other players, get the victory, and grab six for himself.
Takao Yamamoto doesn't offer any defense for his actions, he looks to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo: "The only thing to do now is to find the three corpses they hid. In any case, those three bodies might contain the real monster." After a pause, he added, "You actually already know where those three corpses are, don't you."
He looked at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo asked calmly, "Why would I know."
Takao Yamamoto pointed at Lena and Dond's bodies, "You just said that the reason why you judged that the three bodies were hidden by the two of them was because you thought that a normal player wouldn't come up with a way to hide the bodies. All of us have searched this castle many times, except for everyone's room where no one else can enter. Nothing."
John, the American player, followed, "Good, and even if they did, they couldn't have hidden those three bodies in their own room. Because they can't bring in a body that doesn't belong in that room."
"In fact, your reason is a bit far-fetched. They're all Black Tower Level 5 players, so if they can guess that method, others may not be able to guess it. But you're pretty sure they hid it." Takao Yamamoto looked steadily at Tang Mo: "Where is it?"
Tang Mo looked at him for a moment, then smiled, "Indeed, I searched long and hard last night and found the three bodies. Come with me."
The bodies were always going to be handed over to Noah on the seventh day, and Tang Mo was bound to find them, there was no way he could have kept them to himself.
The group first moved the bodies of Lena, Dond, and the old white man to the attic, where they were placed alongside Bai Ruoyao's body. Then they went downstairs together.
Tang Mo walks over to the long table, stops at the chair belonging to Lena , Dond and looks up, "Right here."
Li Xia frowned, "Where is it?" She bent down and checked underneath the long table. Unfortunately, there wasn't that usual shot from a horror movie where one lowers their head to see a body under the table. Li Xia searched for half a day, but did not see anything.
Tang Mo knocked on the chair beside him, "Here it is."
Fu Wenduo also did not know where the three corpses were hidden, and Tang Mo had not yet had time to talk about it when he returned. His gaze was fixed on that old look, and after a long time, his eyes widened, revealing a rare hint of disgust.
After another moment, Mu Huixue , practicing Yu Zheng ...... all the players understood where the three corpses were actually hidden.
Practicing Yu Zheng flipped his hand and took out a dagger, walking over to the chair and slashing the back of that chair. The sharp blade quickly sliced through the block of wood, wood shavings scattering into the air while snapping a few times, a slice of barbecued meat fell out of the chair.
From the very top of the chair to the very bottom of the four legs, countless pieces of meat were stuffed throughout.
When the pieces of meat fell to the ground, Li Xia and American player Bale looked away in disgust.
Who would have thought that it would be lights out.
As they sat at the long table and exchanged votes, the chair under Lena's ass was stuffed with pieces of meat. However, considering that Lena and Dond wanted to kill all the players and steal the six themselves from the start, the crowd was relieved. This kind of perverted behavior, they do seem to be able to do.
Practicing Yu Zheng crouched down and picked out all the meat inside the chair, piece by piece.
Andre looked at the amount of meat on the floor and looked up, "Not enough, only about two thirds of the men."
Who knows how he measured that these pieces of meat on the ground amounted to two-thirds of a person, Fu Wenduo said, "But there are definitely three people here. Noah is going to eat the barbecued monster, not the whole monster. As long as it's a barbecued monster, it's a pass. As for the extra meat that couldn't be hidden in the chair, they probably disposed of it privately."
Li Xia: "......"
How the fuck is this private? Eat it?
Thinking of this possibility made the entirety of the most normal female player present feel bad.
Andre and Yu Zheng put the meat away, and by this time, there were only ten minutes left before the end of the fifth day. Everyone sits down at the table again, and Mu Huixue kicks the chair Lena was sitting on into the fireplace.
The smell of barbecue was still in the air, and this time Tang Mo sat down in the chair before Fu Wenduo did.
Fu Wenduo looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
Tang Mo does the exit type: it's time to end it.
Fu Wenduo hooked up the corner of his lips and did not say anything else.
Practicing Yu Zheng: "It is now clear that the nursery rhyme given by the Black Tower is not the real cause of death for each of us. According to the rhyme, Abdullah, who was killed by Tang Mo last night, should have died from bleeding to death. But he was stabbed through the heart. So the three men who died earlier were killed by the killer in a staged and disguised nursery rhyme." After a pause, she said, "That killer would be Lena and Dond."
Takao Yamamoto's voice was low, "I disagree on one point."
The crowd looked to him.
"According to you, Lena and Dond are the murderers who killed the three players, but the fact is that David and Anatoly, who died on the second night, their strength is not simple. On the third night, that Chinese player might indeed have been killed by Lena , Dond jointly, but what about David and Anatoly? I don't think any of the two of them have the strength to kill those two players at once."
Tang Mo: "Who says they were killed by one man?"
Takao Yamamoto furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Tang Mo suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
Tang Mo: "Why do you guys think that Lena, Dond and Qiao Zhi are the only ones who thought of the idea of 'killing all the players and winning'. David Anders as well as Anatoly, maybe one of the two of them, also had this idea."
The crowd thought for a moment and then realized the truth of the matter.
The people who killed the black woman Lena on the first night are unknown, possibly the European player Lena and her companion Dond, while on the second day, one of Lena and Dond must have been chosen to go out because they stole the body of the black woman Lena.
The next night, assuming Lena goes out, the three people who go out are Lena, David and Anatoly.
Not that Lena could kill these two powerful players all by herself, but rather that the snipes would be the ones to do it. One of the two male players might have wanted to kill someone else too, and even the three players they came out with the next night had that in mind. Only in the end, Lena won, and she was the last one to survive.
And on the third night, out went Bai Ruoyao, Lena and Dond.
On the fourth day, out went Tang Mo, Abdullah and Qiao Zhi.
Mu Huixue : "Now we know about going out every night except the first night. I'd like to ask again, are there any players willing to admit that they went out on the first night?"
There was a dead silence around the long table.
Mu Huixue spread his hands helplessly.
At that moment, the Black Tower's beep sounded--
"Dingdong! It's time to vote on Day 5, so please write down the name of the player you want to vote for on the white ballot."
The crowd began to vote.
The fifth night passed without incident, no one died, or perhaps the three chosen players simply didn't go out.
On the sixth day, Tang Mo's ability was blocked by a vote. Apparently, all the other players chose to vote for him except for him, Mu Huixue and practicing Yu Zheng. By the end of the day, Takao Yamamoto was in charge of roasting the bodies of all three Lena Choppers, digging up some of each.
Takao Yamamoto faded, "Now, we have six bodies."
As darkness falls, Fu Wenduo is given the opportunity to go out. He becomes transparent, but instead of going out, he goes to Tang Mo's bedside and sits down. He sees that Tang Mo is still talking to her "self," and that her "self" is answering questions without revealing herself at all.
But after three minutes, Tang Mo's voice stopped and he asked, "Victor, is that you?"
"Fu Wenduo's" voice was low: "Huh?"
Tang Mo laughed, "I was wondering if you also realized it wasn't me who stayed in the room when I went out the other night."
At those words, Fu Wenduo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, raised his eyebrows.
Across from him, "Fu Wenduo" suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Tang Mo said, "The Black Tower can mimic a player's word usage and even anticipate what a player might say or ask next. But he can't mimic the human soul. Fu Wenduo and I didn't know Bai Ruoyao, and we had no intention of communicating with him, so none of us realized when the Black Tower mimicked him. But you and I are different. I know that this is not you."
After being exposed, "Fu Wenduo" simply rolled over and stopped paying attention to Tang Mo.
Tang Mo, helpless, turned to look at the ceiling, not realizing that Fu Wenduo was sitting beside him at this very moment.
Tang Mo said, "At a time like this, if you were in that state and secretly kissed me I probably wouldn't know."
Fu Wenduo, who had just leaned down and was ready for a kiss, suddenly froze in his movements, and after two seconds, he calmly continued to lean down and placed a soft kiss on Tang Mo's lips.
People who really know each other are impossible to imitate.
Like that night, when Tang Mo went out, Fu Wenduo realized something was wrong. Now, it's the same.
The night ends and the real Fu Wenduo returns.
The sixth night passes and in the morning, Tang Mo gets out of bed and asks directly, "Did you steal a kiss from me last night."
Fu Wenduo asked rhetorically, "What?"
Tang Mo looked at him skeptically.
Major Fu pulled open the door of the room with a frank expression and walked out first.
The seventh day and night also ended successfully.
The sunlight pierced through the windows and poured into the castle. At the moment the seventh night ended, the light of day dawned, and a heavy footstep suddenly came from outside the castle. In this instant, the nine players instantly woke up, all of them climbing out of bed and walking to the window.
They looked up.
Only to see a huge bare|naked right foot slowly falling in the air at the distant horizon, smashing into the ground with a thud, smashing out a big deep footprint crater. It was an incomparably huge giant, about a hundred meters tall, who walked towards the castle step by step, and when he was a hundred meters away from the castle, he bent down and stretched his hands towards the castle.
The crowd exclaimed, "Not good!"
At the same time, the Black Tower's beep sounded--
"Dingdong! Please ask the player to leave the castle immediately."
Crowd: "......"
Lean!
Sooner or later, the Black Tower allows the player to leave as Noah prepares to capture the castle.
Luckily, these nine players were no ordinary people, and Fu Wenduo kicked through the glass and pulled Tang Mo by the arm, pulling him outside the castle. On both sides, the rest of them chose to jump straight out of their rooms.
The crowd rolled on the ground in a lumbering heap and landed firmly on their feet. They looked up, only to see this tall giant blocking out the sun, his hands plucking the castle from the ground as if it were a small toy. Then he buckled the castle downward, roared, and shook it with all his might.
In an instant, all the tables, chairs, and beds in the castle clattered to the floor.
After the players scattered and ducked away, Noah slowly raised his head and looked at the nine ant-sized humans.
The nine humans finally got a good look at him as well.
Before actually meeting Noah, no one would have guessed that he had the face of an honest and simple man.
Noah stood on the ground in his plain linen clothes, looking down on the humans. Because it was so huge, his breath became a wind swirl, blowing the clothes of all the players hunting. He looked at the ground and then at the nine humans, and his voice was like thunder, "Where is my barbecue, where is it! I'm going to eat it!"
Everyone left in a hurry, and the roast meat could not be brought into the room. Li Xia and the others immediately blackened their faces and tried to find the barbecue meat in the ruins.
At that moment, only Mu Huixue unclasped a black bag from her waist and threw it over. The corner of her mouth quirked up, "Stopped by downstairs before I came out and picked up a few things."
Takao Yamamoto looked at Mu Huixue warily.
The woman was so terrifyingly strong that she had time to go downstairs and get her things, when the hell did she go?
Noah pinched the black bag on the floor and opened it, the bored look on his face not abating.
Everyone looked at Noah nervously.
Li Xia, Takao Yamamoto and two American players who hold their weapons. Once none of the six bodies in the black bag are monsters, they won't hesitate to take on the other players who are still alive.
Only Noah pinched a piece of meat with his fingernail and put it in his mouth to taste it. He spat, "Damn, not that monster!"
Fu Wenduo: "There's more."
Noah grunted and pinched up another piece of meat.
He ate four pieces of meat in a row, and when he reached the fifth piece, his eyes lit up. The giant laughed and poured all the meat from the bag into his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Li Xia and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Tang Mo's four or five are calm.
Three days ago.
As the crowd discovers Bai Ruoyao's body and Fu Wenduo carries him up to the attic, Tang Mo quietly walks up to Mu Huixue and practicing Yu Zheng and utters the name: "Lena Chokoru."
Mu Huixue and Yu Zheng looked at him in unison.
Mu Huixue was only surprised for a moment before he hooked his lips and nodded.
Practicing Yu Zheng, meanwhile, asked in a puzzled whisper, "How could it be her?"
Yes, the black woman who died on the first day, Lena Chokoru.
Before Bai Ruoyao's death, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had been thinking about who the real monster was, and also how ...... monsters were actually supposed to get through the game.
Black Tower Game Rule #5: The monster's mission is to stop Noah from saving humanity.
Before the game starts, the Black Tower gives the background of this tower attack game. The Black Tower sees that humans are full of sin and decides to send down a flood to punish them. But before that, the Black Tower then orders Noah to make a Noah's Ark and choose good humans to enter the ark and save them.
So how is the monster supposed to stop Noah?
In fact, the Black Tower has long since told players what monsters should do to complete their quests.
'O my almighty Black Tower, allow me to take a bath, eat, and then select for you the kindest of human beings and lead them out of this sinful world.'
To the Black Tower's request, Noah gave this answer.
At the end of the seven days and nights, Noah finished his shower and he needed to eat.
He's going to eat the monster that's being barbecued.
Before Bai Ruoyao's death, Tang Mo didn't think about how the pervert's brain circuits really work, so he didn't realize what the monster was thinking. It wasn't until he saw Bai Ruoyao's death and realized that his death was definitely not caused by the monster, but by the other two players joining forces, that he suddenly understood the truth of this game.
It couldn't be a simpler game of smooth push. Noah won't eat without a bath; Noah won't pick good humans without a meal. Much less save them.
Tang Mo said to practicing Yu Zheng, "At the end of this game, the Black Tower said that if we can't find that monster and barbecue it to give it to Noah, Noah will eat the monster and the humans. It's monsters and humans that he's going to eat, so from the beginning ...... after entering this castle, that monster is only going to die."
Tang Mo smiled slightly, "Since it's all a dead end, why don't you choose to kill yourself and clear yourself of the suspicion of being a monster from the start, while still confusing the humans and making them kill each other?"
