Chapter 169 (1/2)

Pheidippides’ Dart, the target hit by it would run uncontrollably for 40.2 kilometers. This was a causality prop and looked to go against the sky, but it was actually trash. When used in combat, the enemy would constantly be in a dodging and running state. It would have no effect on the target as long as they adjusted to it in time.

Bai Ruoyao adapted to this prop in a flash.

The silver knives flew towards Tang Mo, every movement extremely fast. Tang Mo didn’t dare be careless. They hadn’t seen each other in half a month and Bai Ruoyao’s strength had actually improved. He was faster and more powerful. Tang Mo opened the small parasol and heard a metal collision sound on the surface of the umbrella.

These two knives actually left white scratches on the strengthened small parasol!

Bai Ruoyao’s lips curved. “Tang Tang, your umbrella is good.”

A dark shadow flashed and Bai Ruoyao immediately used the knives to block the blow. He slipped back a few metres, raised his head and stared at Fu Wenduo.

From the moment Tang Mo fired the dart at Bai Ruoyao to now, everything happened in only three seconds.

Bai Ruoyao was a psychopath but he wasn’t a fool. He smiled as he glanced at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo before looking at the Chen Shanshan trio. There was a faint glow around his eyes as he stared at the five people. He grinned, “There are so many of you yet you are bullying me.”

Lian Yuzheng crossed her arms. “I’m not meddling in your affairs.”

Apart from Lian Yuzheng, there were still four people. Fu Wenduo and Jack wouldn’t casually watch Bai Ruoyao attack Tang Mo. In particular, Jack stared viciously at Bai Ruoyao. The baby-faced youth noticed his angry eyes and blinked, “The big man over there, I don’t know you. Don’t look at me like that. I’m not gay.”

Jack gritted his teeth. “Bai Ruoyao…”

Bai Ruoyao raised an eyebrow. “Do you know me?”

Jack definitely knew Bai Ruoyao but Bai Ruoyao didn’t know him.

Bai Ruoyao had innumerable enemies. Jack couldn’t forget the Shanghai assembly instance. He hadn’t failed but he indirectly suffered a lot. The selfish madman did things to harm others.

Jack wasn’t afraid of Bai Ruoyao but he hated Bai Ruoyao.

Bai Ruoyao muttered, “I’m so popular,” and the smile on his face became brighter.

“You didn’t come here this time to kill me.”

Bai Ruoyao smiled and looked at Tang Mo. “I don’t want to kill you?”

Tang Mo put away the small parasol, not worried at all about Bai Ruoyao’s surprise attack. “You have a strange personality but you aren’t a fool You won’t die. You might have a chance when attacking and fighting me alone. However, now there are many people. Even if you really manage to kill me, you won’t be able to leave alive.”

Bai Ruoyao spoke in a deliberately exaggerated tone. “Wow, Tang Tang knows what I am thinking for the first time.”

Tang Mo ignored this man’s foolishly and asked coldly, “Bai Ruoyao, what are you doing here?”

“I’m talking a walk.”

No one believed his nonsense.

Bai Ruoyao grinned. “I took a walk and happened to see Tang Tang and Major Fu. We are old friends and haven’t seen each other for a while. I wanted to come and say hello.” Bai Ruoyao pulled the dart out of his shoulder without changing expressions. He didn’t return it to Tang Mo and placed it in his pocket in a natural manner. This prop would become an ordinary dart after being used. Tang Mo didn’t stop his behavior.

A low male voice was heard. “Yesterday, the black tower announced that the new version was going to be updated.”

Bai Ruoyao turned and looked at the calm looking man.

Fu Wenduo stared at the baby-faced youth. “You are worried about this update.”

Bai Ruoyao paused for half a second before suddenly smiling. “It turned out I was thinking this way. I found out for the first time. Thank you, Master Fu.”

Any confrontation seemed useless before this baby-faced youth’s deliberate stupidity. Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Ruoyao. Then he looked over at Fu Wenduo. The two people glanced at each other. Fu Wenduo shook his head and Tang Mo frowned before turning to go, not wanting to waste time on this person.

Bai Ruoyao called out, “Hey Tang Tang, don’t you want to kill me?”

Tang Mo didn’t look back and continued moving.

Tang Mo definitely wouldn’t be soft if there was a chance to kill this man. He and Fu Wenduo agreed that Bai Ruoyao’s strength had grown. No one knew how this person’s strength improved but if they wanted to kill each other, Bai Ruoyao might be able to escape but they would also expose a lot of their cards.

This was the base of Tian Xuan and Lian Yuzheng was watching. There were many opportunities to kill Bai Ruoyao but now wasn’t the time.

The group moved a it further when a helpless voice was heard behind them. “What if I say that I have information about Mu Huixue?”

Tang Mo stopped moving and turned with an astonished expression.

He threw the beautiful knives in the air and caught them in his sleeves. The baby-faced youth blinked at Tang Mo.

“I said that I know Mu Huixue.”

Fu Wensheng heard that he could see his brother and Tang Mo today and felt very complicated. These days, he had stayed in the Tian Xuan organization instead of Li Miaomiao, helping Ruan Wangshu and the others heal. He was a bit afraid of the Tian Xuan stowaways. However, if he left Tian Xuan then he had to see Fu Wenduo…

“Jumping out of a tiger cave into a wolf’s nest…” The child said to himself in a depressed manner. Perhaps his brother was more murderous than Tian Xuan!

There was the sound of knocking outside the classroom. Fu Wensheng was shocked and reflexively looked at Ruan Wangshu sitting in the classroom. The sickly looking teenager nodded at him and Fu Wensheng silently opened the door. He was happy and nervous when he saw Tang Mo and the others. He shouted, “Big Brother!” Fu Wenduo nodded and then Xiao Fu saw the grinning psychopath at the rear of the group.

Fu Wensheng exclaimed, “Ah, how are you here?”

In Tang Mo’s team, this small child had always been bullied by Bai Ruoyao. The baby-faced youth imitated Xiao Fu’s stunned expression and spoke in an exaggerated manner, “Ah, it is me. Hehe, you guessed it.”

Fu Wensheng scoffed and was turning back into the classroom when he found something. “Why are you running in place?”

Bai Ruoyao whose smile froze. “…”

…Tang Mo’s group didn’t have anybody good!

Lian Yuzheng was telling Ruan Wangshu about Bai Ruoyao. Ruan Wangshu looked warily at Bai Ruoyao but allowed him to exchange information.

Ruan Wangshu said, “Tell us first. Who is Mu Huixue?”

Bai Ruoyao squinted. “Why do I have to speak first?”

Ruan Wangshu calmly said, “It is because you asked for us.”

Bai Ruoyao made an exaggerated expression and Ruan Wangshu repeated, “If you don’t want to cooperate then you can leave here, Mr. Bai.”

Bai Ruoyao smiled at Tang Mo. “Tang Tang, look at him bullying me.”

Tang Mo didn’t bother looking at him.

Bai Ruoyao was still smiling but his cold eyes were locked on the pale teenager. After a moment, he spread apart his hand. “Who told me to have a good temper? Mu Huixue, a 25 year old person from Guangzhou. She just returned to China the year before and her skills are great. She is famous in the circle. I met her in Moscow. She is a very beautiful woman.”

Tang Mo asked, “What else?”

“That’s all.”

Everyone, “…”

Ruan Wangshu’s voice was cold. “Mr. Bai, if this is the information you want to exchange with us, I think we can leave now.”

Bai Ruoyao told them, “Everything I said is true.”

Ruan Wangshu asked, “What does this mean to us?”

Bai Ruoyao said arrogantly, “At least you now know that Mu Huixue is a man or a woman and where she lives.”

A light flashed as Lian Yuzheng pulled out a dagger. She was extremely fast and the dagger was placed at Bai Ruoyao’s neck. Bai Ruoyao didn’t hide. He just looked at Lian Yuzheng with a smile. No one expected Tang Mo to stop Lian Yuzheng. He looked carefully at Bai Ruoyao and said, “Your information does make sense.”

Ruan Wangshu frowned but chose to believe in Tang Mo.

Lian Yuzheng retracted her dagger.

Bai Ruoyao actually knew Mu Huixue. This alone had meaning.

Bai Ruoyao’s matter was put aside and Ruan Wangshu talked about the information that Tian Xuan collected. “Due to the existence of the time leaderboard, we know how difficult it is for the invisible people to trust each other or form organizations. However, that doesn’t mean it is impossible. The invisible person caught by us disappeared half an hour ago. I ended his life before he disappeared. He was ranked 98th on the time leaderboard. Ruan Wangshu looked grim. “According to him, there are two relatively famous teams of invisible people in Beijing.”

Tang Mo asked, “What type of teams?”

Ruan Wangshu replied, “The first one are twin brothers and sisters. The brother is 71st on the time leaderboard. They are light and dark. The two of them have never been seen together. If you fight against one of them, you have to watch for another person sneaking around in the darkness. They are very strong.”

Fu Wenduo asked, “Then the other team?’

Ruan Wangshu was silent for a moment. He didn’t directly say it. “Perhaps it is because Beijing is the capital of China. It is densely populated and has relatively rich urban resources. As we guessed before, when the earth went online on November 18th, all survivors remained on Earth and the invisible person went to a place similar to Earth. There was almost no difference between that place and Earth. The only difference is that there is no moon.”

Tang Mo asked, “No moon?”

Ruan Wangshu said, “That’s my guess. The Tian Xuan organization caught a total of nine invisible people. From their descriptions, they have never seen the moon. In addition to killing people to get extra time, the invisible people can rest for 10 minutes after completing each game. I can’t rule it out because 10 minutes is very short but these people never saw the moon. In half a year, nine people didn’t see the moon. This is too much to be a coincidence. That’s why I’m guessing that the Earth has no moon, only the sun.”

“The moon symbolizes the night and night symbolizes rest. The invisible people don’t need rest so the black tower didn’t give their room a moon.” Ruan Wangshu looked at the little girl who spoke calmly and said, “This speculation isn’t impossible.”

The group didn’t become too tangled up in this situation and Ruan Wangshu continued, “The second group is more difficult than the twin brother and sister. Tang Mo, previously you said that you met a middle-aged man who was 89th on the time leaderboard.”

Tang Mo nodded. “Yes, his name was Li Chaocheng.”

Ruan Wangshu stated, “There are four people in Beijing who are on the time leaderboard.”

Tang Mo was surprised and Fu Wenduo asked, “Including Li Chaocheng?”

Ruan Wangshu nodded. “Yes, including him.” The group was a bit relieved until they heard Ruan Wangshu’s next words. “The seventh place on the time leaderboard is in Beijing.” Ruan Wangshu’s voice became serious. “The seventh place on the leaderboard is a 16 year old girl called Xu Yusheng.”

Next, Ruan Wangshu introduced the three person team with a young average age.

Killing a person in the top 10 could get an excellent quality prop. In the past six months, Xu Yusheng’s name climbed steadily from 90th place to 7th place. In addition to Mu Huixue, she is the second ranked person in China. Players on the time leaderboard aren’t necessarily strong but they must be bold and determined to enter it.”

Ruan Wangshu added, “Xu Yusheng’s team only kills pigs.”

They only killed invisible people who didn’t have extra rest time, unless a person attacked Xu Yusheng to get props. Such teams were extremely rare among the invisible people. There were a few invisible people who liked killing pigs but there were very few players on the time leaderboard who only killed pigs.
