Chapter 170

The cold child’s voice stopped the wind and the distant horizon seemed like an illusion. The glare of the sun seemed like a moon. He took a closer look and the sun returned to normal. The moment the black tower’s notice ended, there was a clicking sound and a string of bright red figures appeared on the black tower.

『 12:00:00 』

The bright red was like blood and a drew a fierce gash on the tower. Everyone in the world watched the scene with astonishment.

This was a countdown.

Time passed and the countdown decreased.

Shanghai, Nanjing Road.

The moment the red countdown number appeared, two black figures slowly emerged from the air. They were a man and woman, both of whom looked very young. They appeared completely out of thin air. Once they appeared, the two of them looked up at the black tower. They were hiding in a superb location that was dimly lit. It was very secluded and hard for other people to find their location. However, they could clearly see the black tower.

The two of them were also stunned when they saw the countdown on the black tower. Then the young man turned his head and saw the sun that was about to sink below the horizon. His eyes widened and his voice was hoarse. “…Are we back?”

The young woman seemed much calmer as she squinted at the sunset and moon in the east.

“The moon… we really are back this time.”

They were calm on the surface but their rapid breathing exposed the excitement that was heard to suppress in their hearts. The young man and woman stared at the sun with almost greedy eyes and seemed to remember it in their bones. After a few seconds, they seemed to have seen enough and stared at each other.

The woman opened her eyes and gave a meaningful smile. “I am back…”

The man stroked a sharp and slender ice cone. “Eve’s Game, I like this name.”

The woman asked, “Do we start the game? I think I hear a little friend breathing.”

A strange laughter bubbled in their throats. The next second, their figures disappeared from the alley. Once they appeared again, they had entered a three storey building next to the alley. A middle-aged fat man stared with horror at the young man and woman who appeared in front of him.

He had too many words to ask. He wanted to know where the two people had come from and who they were. However, he couldn’t ask. A dark hole appeared in the middle-aged man’s forehead. He couldn’t even say a word before he was pierced by a cone of ice.

There was a bang and the fat man fell to the ground.

The young woman crouched down and searched the body, finding a few props. She snorted and threw the props into the bin.

The man helplessly touched his neck. There was a golden four digit number on his neck. He sighed, “Our luck is really bad. He seems to be an official player. It is a pity. I would’ve liked to try what it is like to be a stowaway.”

The woman mocked him, “The black tower said the name of a few stowaways.There is a man called Fu Wenduo who seems to be the strongest among the group of pigs. Go kill him.”

The man laughed excitedly, “It would be good to kill Fu Wenduo…”

The man and woman searched the room and took a bottle of water from the cupboard. By the time they left, the sky was completely dark and the moon was high in the sky. It seemed that the two people hadn’t seen the moon for a long time. They stood in front of the small building and watched the moon above the black tower. Moments later, the two of them headed towards the Bund.
