Before Tang Mo left City North High School, he went back to Year 5 to see if the letter he had left for Chen Shanshan was still under the lectern. As expected, the letter had disappeared and Godspeed must have followed him to the classroom and taken it away.
The letter was probably destroyed by the fire along with Godspeed, so Tang Mo wrote a new one and slipped it into the secret compartment.
He returned as quickly as he could to the mall in Pudong New District and found Luo Fengcheng, who was talking to Tang Qiao and Jackass. Tang Mo looked at the two men, turned his head to Luo Fengcheng and said in a calm voice, "Just now, I killed Godspeed."
Jackass and Tang Qiao were both stunned.
Luo Fengcheng's face also flashed with surprise as he quickly looked over Tang Mo's shoulder, frowning: "Are you hurt?"
Tang Mo nods, "Cut down by Godspeed."
"Let Tang Qiao take you to the operating theatre for some stitches, I'll talk to Jackass about something first, and then I'll talk to you later."
Tang Mo did not object.
The slash from Godspeed was deep, almost splitting Tang Mo's shoulder bone. His white tracksuit was already half red with blood, and because of his strong physical condition, the bleeding had already stopped, but the wound was still open to the sides. Without stitches, it would take half a month to heal completely.
Tang Mo sits on the operating table and takes off half of his shirt.
The young woman, dressed in black, takes the stitches out of the cupboard and sterilises them slightly on an alcohol lamp. After cleaning the wound with alcohol wipes, she began to stitch Tang Mo up.
A sharp stinging sensation came from the wound, Tang Mo frowned slightly and pursed her lips.
"I'll try to be gentle." Tang Qiao said, "You're in good shape, there are no more than five members in Atak, better than you."
Tang Mo's powers are not in the direction of physical enhancement, and it is very rare to have such good physical qualities. He gave a soft "hmm", not answering Tang Qiao's words.
After five minutes of stitching, Tang Qiao said, "It's all official players, so if nothing happens, you'll recover in three days."
Tang Mo was dressed and ready to go to Luo Fengcheng, while Tang Qiao was in the operating theatre packing his things. Just as Tang Mo was about to walk out of the operating theatre, a cold voice rang out from behind him, "Thank you."
Tang Mo stops in his tracks and looks back.
In the bright light, Tang Qiao looks down and organises the contents of her surgical tray. There is little expression on her clean face as she meticulously sorts things out and puts them back in the cupboard. "A week ago, Nie Fei and I were ambushed by three stowaways, one of whom was Godspeed. So ...... thanks."
"It's not that he couldn't leave if he wanted to, he just let Tang Qiao go first.'
Tang Mo remembered what Luo Fengcheng had once said and said, "No need. I didn't kill him just for Nie Fei."
Tang Qiao pauses slightly as she places the stitches, Tang Mo has already left the operating theatre.
When he arrives at the office on the third basement level, Jackass is no longer there, leaving Luo Fengcheng alone in the room waiting for Tang Mo. He hands Tang Mo a glass of water and a pill, and Tang Mo looks at him strangely. He laughed: "Ordinary anti-inflammatory medicine, after all, medical conditions are poor nowadays, what if it gets infected?"
Tang Mo said, "With my fitness, I should be fine without stitches."
Luo Fengcheng: "Don't be afraid of a million things, just in case."
Tang Mo put the medicine aside, Luo Fengcheng didn't push it, and the two talked about killing Godspeed.
Tang Mo gave a brief account of what had happened, skipping over his own killing of Godspeed with three different psychic powers and two props. Luo Fengcheng pondered for a moment after listening to the story and said, "It's true, they were stalking around the mall. But why would Godspeed follow you? There are at least 30 players in and out of the mall every day, and he only had eyes on you. Did he find out that you were involved with Atak?" Luo Fengcheng's expression turned serious for a moment.
If Godspeed knew about Tang Mo's relationship with Atak, it would mean that the stowaways had a source of information within Atak's organisation. The first possibility is that they have infiltrated the mall before Atak has discovered them and are keeping tabs on Atak's movements; the second possibility is that there are traitors in the organisation who are secretly in contact with them.
Either of these two possibilities would be very fatal.
Tang Mo recalled, "No, I don't think he found out about my relationship with Atak, he followed me for other reasons." After a pause, Tang Mo asked, "Did you know that one of those seven was called Taotie?"
Luo Fengcheng: "Taotie? We don't know the names of the seven of them, Godspeed, Electric Man and Black Belt, and they're just nicknames I've given them."
"According to Godspeed, Taotie was a Little Bai face, and he didn't like Little Bai faces like Taotie's, and being unable to make a move on Taotie himself, he followed me and prepared to make a move on me."
Luo Fengcheng: "So that's it."
The two didn't dwell on " Tang Mo is a Little Bai face" at all as Tang Mo continued, "I could tell that Godspeed really disliked Taotie, but he said that he couldn't make a move against him. From my brief experience with him, he doesn't seem like the type to 'keep his hands to himself just because he's a companion'."
Luo Fengcheng agreed: "The seven stowaways weren't very united with each other either, or they wouldn't have often split up once they were strong enough. Godspeed didn't make a move on Taotie, probably because Taotie was stronger than him. They were five men and two women in total, and if I were to say that any of them looked more like Pretty boy ...... there were two."
Tang Mo asks, "Which two?"
"The first one was a young man of 25 or 26 with unknown powers. Ye Yuanze had met him four days ago on the Bund, and the two of them fought, and the other man left first without any intention of making a move against Ye Yuanze. The man was quite good looking, wearing a pair of glasses and very civilized."
Tang Mo mused, "It's likely to be him, and the age is more in line with me. What about the other one?"
Luo Fengcheng said, "There's another one you know, a black belt."
"Is that him?" Tang Mo frowned.
"The black belt looks about 17 or 18 years old because he covers his eyes with a silk ribbon and it's not very easy to tell his age, but blindfolded he does count as a Little Bai face." Luo Fengcheng said, "If one of the seven men was Little Bai, it must have been one of those two."
It is not easy to analyse which one is the Taotie if there are two of them.
Tang Mo: "The name Taotie is not a real name, and taking this nickname is either related to psychic abilities or personality. Based on the appearance and age, the black belt is unlikely and Taotie should be another person."
The two men agreed and Luo Fengcheng then presented Tang Mo with some of the next arrangements for the Atak organisation.
"We can't just defend anymore, the enemy is dark, and now they're down to six men with one less. Electric Man's arm has been cut off by Little Fatty and his fighting ability has dropped." Luo Fengcheng's tone was solemn as he looked up at Tang Mo: "This time, it's a rare good opportunity."
Tang Mo said, "Are there any more difficult S-class copies nearby?"
"You want to break into a copy to improve your strength and prepare for later?"
Tang Mo nods.
He was now on the same side as Atak. From the moment Tang Mo returned to Shanghai and came to Pudong to find Atak, he had already made his position clear: he would stand up to the smugglers' group.
The most powerful alien organisation in Shanghai today is Atak, and with the Stowaway Seven's biggest target being Atak, joining forces with Atak is the best way to deal with the stowaways.
Luo Fengcheng: "The S1 copy was broken last week by Ye Yuanze and Jackass together, the closest and most difficult one is the S2 copy. I'll ask Jackass to take you there tomorrow, so whichever one of you gets through this one will be a good thing for us."
Tang Mo leaves Luo Fengcheng's office, finds a business car in the corner of the first floor and lies down in it to rest.
In the darkness of the carriage, he switched on his torch, took out his book on psychic powers and turned to the last page.
[Alien Powers: A Very Fast Man]
[Owner: Liang Chao (Stowaway)
[Type: 4-D].
[Function: Speed beyond time]
[Level: 3].
[Restriction: Maximum movement speed can reach the speed of sound, while using the supernatural power, speed up the body metabolism and shrink the life].
[Remark: A very fast man, in every way, very fast].
Tang Mo Version Instructions: Can only be used three times per day, each time for a maximum of 30 seconds, with double life reduction when using the power. Within 24 hours of using the power, you gain the negative effect "A Very Fast Man" and become very fast in one way or another. Tang Mo is already very fast, and will probably be even faster in the future.
...... He wasn't supposed to be fast at all!
Tang Mo didn't even have the heart to spit this time.
This psychic ability is playing for keeps!
Not only does it play hard, it's fast! It's also ...... fast!
There is no doubt that this ability is immensely powerful, and if Tang Mo has the speed of sound, then he at least has a chance to escape when facing any enemy. However, the use of this ability will consume life.
This ability is more like separating the user's time flow from the outside world than increasing the user's speed. When using the ability, Tang Mo feels that time has become unbearably long. A blink of an eye for others becomes a few seconds for him. Thus to the eyes of others, he naturally appears to be too fast to capture with the naked eye.
To use an analogy, the speed of movement of this ability reaches the speed of sound at most, which is 340 metres per second. The speed of a normal adult runner is ten kilometres per hour, which is less than 2.8 metres per second. So once Tang Mo uses his ability, his time flow becomes 120 times faster than anyone else's.
Others spent a second, he spent 120 seconds.
This ability lasts for a maximum of 30 seconds at once, that's 3600 seconds, sixty minutes.
With double life reduction, Tang Mo loses two hours of life in one go. If he used it as wildly as Godspeed did, he would have lost his life before he got old. Tang Mo's version of the instructions may seem to limit his use of this ability, but in a way, it also prevents him from relying on it too much and from being dragged to his death by it.
And ......
Tang Mo suddenly felt that he might not be able to find a date in the future, looking at the sentence in the book of supernatural powers, "A certain aspect also becomes very fast within 24 hours". Otherwise, if I use my powers every day, I will become fast every day ......
For the first time since Earth came online, Tang Mo winced, closed her eyes and rushed to sleep.
Ten days later, Luo Fengcheng's weary face showed joy for the first time. When Tang Mo walked into his office, he could not hide the excitement in his voice: "We've found where they're hiding!
Tang Mo's heart tightened: "Where?"
"Not far from here, in Puxi, a cinema."
For over half a month, the stowaways have been hiding in the shadows, occasionally assassinating regular players and regular reservists and sneaking up on members of the Atak organisation. Apart from Godspeed stalking Tang Mo and being killed in return, they have not lost a single ounce of their power, but are secretly improving because they have eaten the hearts of many players.
Time waits for no man.
Atak finally found their trail.
Luo Fengcheng opens a map of Shanghai and points his finger at a building near Nanjing Road.
Tang Mo recognises the place and says in surprise, "Upstairs at Madame Tussauds?"
Luo Fengcheng nodded, "Well, there's a cinema here. Two days ago, Jackass and Tang Qiao found the unattended electrician and injured him. After following him, they found him entering the place and never coming out again. They may have had other exits, but Electric Man was the first to run here after he was injured, so in all probability, this is where they landed."
Tang Mo muses, "The cinema is a good place to hide people."
Luo Fengcheng: "But the cinema, too, is a good place to sneak in."
The two men looked at each other and Tang Mo asked, "When will we do it?"
"Three days later." After a pause, Luo Fengcheng explains, "In three nights, there will be a heavy rainstorm in Shanghai. It's hard to get a rainstorm like this in December, and there will be no lightning. At that time, it's a good opportunity for us to sneak in."
There is a knock on the door and Tang Mo and Luo Fengcheng look at each other.
Tang Qiao stood by the door and said, "Someone is looking for you." It was Tang Mo she was looking at.
Tang Mo: "Looking for me?"
Tang Qiao nods and sidles away, allowing the two young girls standing behind the door to be revealed.
Tang Mo exclaimed, " Chen Shanshan?"
The visitors were none other than Chen Shanshan and Qiao Feifei.

Author's Comment.
One day, Tangtang used the "A Very Fast Man" power.
That night -
Mr. Fu: Daughter-in-law = 3 = kiss = 3 = come kiss = 3 =
