Chapter 82


The small eyes lingered on Fu Wenduo’s body. The big turkey quietly watched Fu Wenduo for two seconds before giving a sinister laugh. “Is there a second question?”


The big turkey’s expression was exactly the same as when Xiao Jitong previously asked and no one could see any changes. However, both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo clearly understood that the matter of the Eagle Catches the Chicks game was as important to the turkey as the order of the queue. It might be even more important.


Tang Mo looked at the big turkey and sank into deep thoughts.


He didn’t notice it at first but once Fu Wenduo asked this question, Tang Mo found that something was wrong.


It was just after the one hour of the Eagle Catches the Chicks game. Apart from the very good at hiding Xiao Jitong, the other six players all confronted the big turkey. The big turkey seemed to brutally attack each person fairly but the real targeted person was actually the cold-faced Ningning.


This was most clearly demonstrated in the last wave of counterattack by the big turkey. The big turkey was caught in a string of traps designed by the little boy and almost killed by the blue water droplet. Once she escaped, she didn’t attack the little boy who nearly killed her or Fu Wenduo who wounded her with a dagger. Instead, she aimed at Ningning who was standing at the rear of the group.


She shouldn’t attack Ningning based on aggro and the location. Yet her claws had aimed for Ningning’s chest.


She only aimed a Ningning.


This face implied something very important. There was a problem with the Eagle Catches the Chicks game.


Tang Mo carefully thought about the second question. He hadn’t come up with a suitable question yet when he heard a male voice from the side. “…The second question, George Edward is first in the line.”


Tang Mo’s eyes widened and he looked at the man with a startled expression. It wasn’t just him. Fu Wenduo also frowned at Xiao Jitong. Even his teammate Ningning and XIao Qiao stared at him with dismay, not understanding why he asked this question.


The first question raised by Fu Wenduo asked if there was any deep meaning in the Eagle Catches the Chicks game.


The second question raised by Xiao Jitong asked if his teammate George Edward was first.


This question was obviously too selfish since knowing one person’s position wouldn’t have any effect on the final result. Even if the little boy knew that he was first, he would still be pulled into the Eagle Catches the Chicks as long as the other six people weren’t in the right positions. Xiao Jitong’s question was really awkward and seemed to be wasting a question.


Tang Mo soon calmed down and thought about the reason for this question. He believed that Xiao Jitong wouldn’t ask a question so recklessly. Unfortunately, he had too little information and it was hard to understand why.


The big turkey showed some surprise when she heard this question. Then she laughed. “My lovely child, you have actually forgotten your position?” She stretched out a wing and touched the little boy’s head. Her wings were still dripping blood from where Fu Wenduo had cut them. The little boy wanted to remove these disgusting wings but he held back, causing Xiao Jitong to silently sigh with relief.


Tang Mo asked, “So what is the answer?”


In any case, the question had been asked and they needed answers now.


The big turkey patted her wings. “How can the Eagle Catches the Chicks game have a profound meaning? Isn’t it because a disgusting eagle wants to catch my lovely children? Don’t worry children, Mother is here. Mother won’t let that hateful eagle kill you.” Then the turkey continued, “As for this child’s position in the line…”


The turkey touched the little boy’s head and laughed. “Hey, you are in second place. My lovely child, have you forgotten?” After saying this, the big turkey smiled and looked at the female high school student on the ground. She looked meaningfully at the dying girl before looking at the green bug, which had been completely smashed on the ground.


Then she started to scream shrilly. The big turkey seemed to have just discovered this problem, letting out a fake angry roar, “Cooo!! How did this bug die? How can I feed my children a dead bug? d.a.m.n bug, you should’ve lived a bit longer before dying. Now Mother has to go find food for my children again.”


The big turkey turned and looked at the players. “My children, are you very hungry?”


Xiao Jitong nodded. “Mother, we are very hungry.”


The big turkey spoke loudly. “Mother will go find food for you!”


Her fat body twisted as she hummed her strange song and quickly disappeared into the supermarket. All the players knew that she was acting. She played a loving mother for a big and then her nature as the fierce and ruthless eagle was restored. She acted with the players but it was more like she was seeing them as a joke.


The bad song filled the supermarket before the figure of the big turkey completely disappeared. Then the short-haired girl couldn’t help crying out.


The poor girl hugged her dying companion and burst out crying. After crying for a few minutes, she held back her tears and feed water to her companion. She shouted her companion’s names, hoping she would quickly wake up.


These two players were weak. If it wasn’t for Tang Mo’s group, they would’ve likely ended up as minced meat on the ground.


Once the two questions were over and the big turkey was far away, Tang Mo looked at Xiao Jitong and spoke calmly. “The first answer is a lie so the answer to the second question is correct. Mr. Xiao, I’d like to know why you asked that question.”


Tang Mo only knew Xiao Jitong for a short time but it was obvious that the other person was smart. He pa.s.sed the black tower’s second floor and was a famous smart person in Nanjing. Such a person shouldn’t ask a useless question.


Xiao Jitong smiled. “I asked this question for a reason. I have a bit more information than you do, thus I asked this question. But before I explain, I’d like to ask something first. Mr. Tang Ji.” Xiao Jitong didn’t expose that Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were using a.s.sumed names. He looked at Fu Wenduo and asked, “What do you think is special about this Eagle Catches the Chicks?”


Fu Wenduo spoke lightly, “If it just wanted to punish us for getting the order wrong, it can say ‘Queuing error, the big turkey will catch the player for an hour.’ There is no need to deliberately design a side game.” Unless the game itself was a clue.


Fu Wenduo didn’t saw those words but Tang Mo already understood. He looked at Fu Wenduo and smiled gently. “Yes, I also thought about why the Eagle Catches the Chicks game was deliberately made. If she just wants to kill the players, there is no need to make a game.”


“She also had killing intent. The killing intent was directed at her.” Fu Wenduo pointed to Ningning.


Ningning’s injuries had improved but her face was still a bit pale. She licked her lips and didn’t talk.


The little boy was dissatisfied. “Why is it only Sister Ningning? It is because Sister Ningning is a woman? That sister over there was scratched by the turkey and still isn’t awake. Is the turkey really targeting women?”


“Of course not.” Tang Mo shook his head. “The Eagle Catches the Chicks game is very common. I believe most people have played it in childhood. The game has two features. The first is the old hen that protects the chicks. The second is that the eagle can only catch the chick at the end of the line. Us players have to line up in a specific order and the Eagle Catches the Chicks also has a sequence. In the Eagle Catches the Chicks, the turkey must grab the last chick.”


The little boy thought for a moment and suddenly became surprised. “You mean that Sister Ningning is the chick at the end?” The boy was very clever and soon thought of something. “Wait, Sister Ningning was fifth in the line and he was last.” He pointed to Fu Wenduo. “The big turkey tried to catch Ningning, not him. This is saying that it isn’t the order in which we line up. The turkey is catching people from the real last place person. This means that Sister Ningning’s correct position is last in the line?”


There was no need to speak a lot. Once the little boy said this, everyone understood the meaning. In fact, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo also thought of this, which was why Fu Wenduo asked that question. It was possible that Xiao Jitong had also guessed it.


The big turkey was obviously targeting Ningning. Considering the turkey’s lie, the Eagle Catches the Chicks must have a profound meaning and obviously had something to do with the correct queuing order.


Tang Mo said, “There is a eight or nine out of ten chance that…” Tang Mo didn’t know how to call Ningning and directly said, “She should be the last person in the line. Based on this clue, we can determine who the last player is. This was why we asked the first question. Now it is your turn.” Tang Mo laughed. “Mr Xiao, why did you ask that question and what is the information that we don’t know?”


Once Fu Wenduo found that Ningning was targeted by the turkey, he first thought of the special rules of the Eagle Catches the Chicks game. The big turkey’s answer revealed that this game really did have a meaning and they could determine Ningning’s position in the queue.


It wasn’t certain but there was at least a 80% chance that this female player was last.


Therefore, now it was Xiao Jitong’s turn.


Fu Wenduo stood by Tang Mo and seemed to have no interest in Xiao Jitong., He just watched calmly while not saying anything. Tang Mo patiently waited for Xiao Jitong to give him a suitable answer.


“I’m sure you have a reason for asking that question.” Xiao Jitong looked at his teammate Ningning before unexpectedly standing next to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. He smiled and got straight to the point. “Mr. Tang Ji, are you a stowaway?”


Fu Wenduo’s expression stayed the same and he didn’t answer.


Tang Mo asked coldly, “Is this the information you are talking about, Mr. Xiao?”


Xiao Jitong explained. “I think you are misunderstanding. I don’t have anything against stowaways. I saw that in the one hour Eagle Catches the Chicks game, you didn’t try to kill anyone. There is a very obvious loophole in this game. The fifth rule of the game states that once a turkey child dies, the ‘Heartbroken Big Turkey’ effect will be triggered and she will be temporarily released from her schizophrenic state. In fact, this is saying that the Eagle Catches the Chicks game will end immediately once a player dies. If you really don’t want to be hunted by the turkey, there is a very simple method.”


Tang Mo stated, “It is to kill a player and end the game.”


Xiao Jitong agreed. “Yes. But you didn’t try to do that. I was standing in the distance when Ningning was hunted by the big turkey. I wanted to come and help when I saw you fire s hot. Stowaways are divided into many types. Some stowaways are deadly and act without restraint after the earth went online. They don’t care about the game and just kill wildly. I’ve seen stowaways like that.”


Tang Mo had also seen such stowaways. 10 players died in the Strange Circus game. They were the four stowaways killed by Tang Mo and other people and six players killed by the four stowaways.


Tang Mo stated, “This loophole is likely to be a trap. If killing people can really end the punishment, someone must’ve made this choice among the many players who previously died here. In the end, there would be only one person left in the game. One person doesn’t need to line up. He is the team. Yet they didn’t pa.s.s the instance. Killing your teammates might seem like it will clear the game but it must hide a bigger trap. Mr. Xiao, maybe that is why we chose not to kill anyone.”


“In any black tower game I play, I play it first with feeling and second with strategy. I have always believed in my intuition and every game I cleared is an acknowledgment of my intuition.” Xiao Jitong smiled. “Stowaways aren’t necessarily bad people and official players and reserves aren’t necessarily good people. The fact that you can say what you just said proves that you aren’t bad people.”


Tang Mo didn’t refute this.


Xiao Jitong continued., “I didn’t notice the problem with Ningning until Mr. Tang Ji asked the question. Then I realize this clue leading me to think of another question.”


Tang Mo asked, “What is the question?”


“One of the first things we agreed on is that there is a 90% change the queuing order isn’t random. There is a rule to it. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to win. Then this little girl said previously…” Xiao Jitong looked at the short-haired girl sitting on the ground. “This game might be ranked according to the floors that we have cleared. The two girls haven’t attacked the tower while Xiao Qiao pa.s.sed the black tower’s first floor. Mr. Victor, your companion Mr. Tang Ji plus Ningning and I. We have all on the black tower’s second floor.”


Tang Mo immediately understood. “The question you asked about the little boy’s ranking is to exclude the rule that the ‘sequence order is related to the player’s black tower floor?'”


“Good.” Xiao Jitong laughed. “But there is one thing I knew that you don’t know. The biggest reason I asked about ‘Xiao Qiao’s order’ is due to this information.”


“What is it?”


Xiao Jitong looked at his companions. The long-haired Ningning stood with folded arms and no expression.


Xiao Jitong removed his gaze. “In this game, the two girls are reserve players. I used to be a reserve player and I’m now an official player. But strictly speaking, my ident.i.ty is more inclined towards the reserves. Xiao Qiao is second in the line. Since he isn’t third, this game is definitely not based on lining up in the order of the player’s black tower attack floor. I presume… Mr. Victor, are you a regular player?”


Tang Mo’s heart tightened. His brain was working quickly and he thoroughly understood Xiao Jitong’s meaning. But there was a loophole and this guess was wrong. Unless…


“She is a stowaway?” Tang Mo looked at Ningning with surprise.


Xiao Jitong smiled and nodded. “Yes. I am a reserve, Xiao Qiao is an official player and… Ningning is a stowaway.”


The author has something to say:


Tang Tang: Why are you saying that Old Fu is a stowaway? Did a stowaway eat your rice? Old Fu killed on a mission okay!


Old Fu: # I am already a villain to the Chinese players. I’m not afraid of more itchiness #
