worldwide.

All humans stopped moving at this moment and looked at the black tower closest to them.

They had never thought that the black tower was so huge. No matter how far they were from the tower, they could clearly see tiny blue light spots emerging from the dark tower. They circled and flickered, and the blue light spots formed a string of characters.

, like an old-fashioned computer that has crashed, sliding rapidly on the black tower, and finally gathered into a line of blue words in the center of the black tower——

"Ding dong! Within three days, all players are asked to eliminate any player, including but not limited to game methods."

The crisp children's voice sounded at the same time.

Tang Mo stood on the balcony, looking at the tower without blinking. The cold autumn wind blew across his cheeks, but a big drop of sweat slid down his forehead. He stared at the black tower, but Hei

The tower returned to calm again, the blue font disappeared, the children's voices disappeared, and it seemed to be the same as before.

Tang Mo arrived at the entrance of the library half an hour later. Countless people crowded the area near the Black Tower. The sea of ​​people even blocked the road in front of the library.

The noisy and crowded crowd blocked the city center. Tang Mo looked at it for a long time, then turned and walked into the library.

Ten minutes later, Director Wang walked to the service desk: "Go home today. There is no need to go to work. I will wait for notification at home."

Xiao Zhao came over excitedly and couldn't help but ask: "Director, is it related to the Black Tower? The Black Tower made a noise this morning, did you hear it? What's going on? Where did this thing come from?

Isn’t it really the end of the world?”

Director Wang suddenly became serious: "The end of the world, what nonsense. You young people, don't talk nonsense all day long and look at those messy things."

Xiao Zhao is the youngest girl in the library, born in 1996. There was a hint of fear in her round eyes, but more of it was surprise and curiosity. As soon as Director Wang left, she said: "Tang Mo, you too

You heard it, the Black Tower spoke, it said it was online, and it also said it was eliminated."

Tang Mo packed up his things and went home. Feeling irritated, he casually said, "I didn't pay attention."

"Do you think this is the end of the world? I don't think so. If it is really the end of the world, where are the zombies? That black tower said it wants to eliminate players, is it going to turn us into zombies? Is this something that belongs to the country?

It's a conspiracy... It's not right. It is said on the Internet that there are black towers appearing all over the world, and they have spoken out today. Which country can be so awesome, not even the United States."

Tang Mo was really not in the mood to discuss this kind of thing. He didn't know why, but after he heard Black Tower speak with his own ears and saw the line of words that appeared on Black Tower, his heart started to beat very fast.

The normal heartbeat of an adult is between 6o and 1oo per minute. Tang Mo counted it when Xiao Zhao was talking just now.

His heartbeat is now 13o.

But he didn't feel any discomfort, but he felt panicked, as if something was wrong.

Tang Mo raised his head and looked to the left and right. The service desk was in the center of the borrowing room, with bookshelves at the front, back, and left. Looking to the left were humanities books, and to the right were history books. He didn't know what he was looking at, and what he was looking at was

Wherever the sun shines in through the window, tiny particles of dust are flying in the air.

"Tang Mo!" A loud female voice woke Tang Mo up from his dazed state. Xiao Zhao sounded a little dissatisfied: "I just called you several times, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?

say?"

Tang Mo stretched out his hand to wipe his face, his palms were moist, and he turned to look at his colleague: "...it's okay."

The heart beats faster.

Xiao Zhao picked up the bag: "I want to go see the Black Tower. Do you want to go with me? When I entered the library, I saw a lot of people there. We are on the way anyway, shall we go together?"

Tang Mo shook his head quickly: "I'm going home."

Xiao Zhao didn't seem very happy about what happened just now, so he waved his hand and left the library.

However, Xiao Zhao was not able to visit the Black Tower. When Tang Mo left the library, a group of armed police got out of the car and evacuated the crowd surrounding the Black Tower. They surrounded the Black Tower with white plastic boards.

The plastic wall surrounded the entrance of the library, blocking the Black Tower tightly and preventing anyone from entering.

Many people stood outside the wall and took pictures of the Black Tower with their mobile phones.

Tang Mo took a photo and got into a taxi to go home.

On the Internet, the Black Tower incident has become a hot topic in the headlines around the world.

Tang Mo was lying on the bed and scrolling through his circle of friends. His college classmates who studied in Japan and the United States took photos. The text on Hei Tata in the photos was no longer in Chinese, but in Japanese and English.

Tang Mo doesn’t know how to circumvent the firewall, but the classmate studying in the United States replied to several posts in Moments.

[Yes, it’s not Chinese, it’s English! It scares me to death. Our school has been closed. Now many people are taking to the streets to parade in front of the White House, asking the government to give an explanation. 】

[It’s so hard to buy air tickets at the airport now. I can’t buy a ticket back to China at all. My roommate will go back to China in the afternoon if he has money.]

[It was still night here when it spoke, and it also played a song. My friend has a video, so I uploaded the video.]

Tang Mo clicked on this classmate's new short video. A familiar black tower was suspended next to the Lincoln Memorial. It shone with colorful lights and was particularly eye-catching in the dark night. The song was not "Jingle Bells", but it was obviously the same.

Nursery rhymes. After the song was played, the same clear and high-pitched children's voice said it again in English——

"Ding dong! On November 15, 2017, the earth came online."

What is this!

Tang Mo anxiously threw his phone on the bed.

Officials have not released specific information about the black towers, but there are so many of them that it is impossible to hide them. Someone on the Internet has already published data - on average, there will be one black tower for every 10,000 square kilometers of land.

Even on the ocean, there are countless black towers.

Tang Mo stood up and walked back and forth in the room irritably. His heart couldn't calm down at all, and his heart was beating so fast that it almost shook his chest. When Tang Mo reached the one hundred and sixtieth time, he suddenly stopped.

...This doesn't look like him!

Why is he so restless all of a sudden?

Tang Mo walked to the bathroom and stuck his head under the faucet. Not worried about catching a cold, he turned on the cold water and splashed it on his head. His mood seemed to calm down a little. He poured a glass of cold water and returned to the room, turned on the computer and clicked on Bridge.

software.

He needs to calm down.

This sudden feeling of anxiety was beyond his control.

Maybe it's because his heartbeat is too fast, which affects his judgment? It should be up to 15o beats per minute now.

Tang Mo looked at the computer screen indifferently. Probably because such a big incident happened, there were too few people who wanted to play games at this time. It took him ten minutes to enter a room and start a game of cards. The game was going on.

His brain was racing, Tang Mo's heart gradually calmed down, and his heart seemed not to be beating so fast.

He played from day to night until he was too sleepy and fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up the next day, the anxiety that was hard to ignore came to mind again. Tang Mo opened the bridge software again and continued playing cards. After playing like this for another whole day, Tang Mo's face turned extremely ugly, and his eyes were all bloodshot.

The brain is so tired that you can fall asleep just by closing your eyes.

The QQ prompt sounded.

【Victor: Have you been playing all day?】

Tang Mo rubbed his dry eyes and replied: [Well, I feel a little uncomfortable.]

[Victor: You must feel uncomfortable after playing for so long. Take a rest early.]

[Mo Tang: Yeah.]

[Victor: Stay away from the black tower.]

Tang Mo had fallen asleep in front of the computer desk.

When he woke up the next day, he saw Victor's message and quickly replied to the other party, but Victor was already offline. Tang Mo stretched out and suddenly felt much better. His heartbeat was still very fast, but then

The anxiety that came from nowhere disappeared without a trace.

The Black Tower incident is still being discussed on the Internet.

The government did not give a specific explanation, but it strongly suppressed public opinion. Many netizens could only discuss information about the Black Tower in private, and they discussed useless things and did not even use sensitive words.

Tang Mo clicked on several posts that speculated on the truth of the Black Tower. Most people thought that the Black Tower was the research result of some top-notch technology. There were also a small number of people who thought it was the end of the world, but their tone was completely joking, so it was okay.

The post was not deleted, but these people just talked nonsense in the post.

In the afternoon, Director Wang made an announcement in the library group chat.

[Director Wang: Urgent notice! Starting the day after tomorrow, the library will be requisitioned as a temporary research center. Any personal belongings will be collected today and tomorrow. Notice again, starting the day after tomorrow, the library will be requisitioned as...]

The group immediately exploded.

Several old employees asked about where they would work after the library was expropriated. Some young employees joked: "It's almost the end of the world, so why are we still working?"

Tang Mo raised his head and glanced at the black tower in the distance. He picked up his bag and got on the bus to the library.

I have to say that Huaxia has done a really good job in maintaining social stability. Except for people like theirs whose work units are too close to the Black Tower and have to go home for the holidays, other public facilities are running very smoothly as usual.

But when he got in the car and swiped his card, Tang Mo saw an ashtray in front of the driver, full of cigarette ashes, and a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

A middle-aged woman complained: "Master, why are you still smoking while driving? Smoking is not allowed."

"I'm so annoyed that I don't even want to drive the car if I don't smoke. Why don't you drive it?"

"Hey, why are you talking like that? It's your bus company's own rule not to smoke. If you smoke, it's wrong. Why don't you let others tell you?"

The driver and the woman started arguing, and two female college students sitting next to Tang Mo quickly broke up the fight. After finally trying to persuade them to leave, the two girls sat back in their seats, and one of them said, "Today is the third day, right?"

"Oh, you said that, it's really the third day."

While playing on her mobile phone, the girl said: "When you say you want to eliminate players, it's not limited to the game. What does this mean? There has been no movement for three days. What kind of game is this? Is our two-rock-paper-scissors game?"
