Tang Mo lowered his head.
He didn't speak.
… Something was wrong.
There must be something wrong!
The truth clock limited Tang Mo to a space of one square metre.
He simply leaned back against the invisible wall and lowered his head to think about the problem.
The TV and the old lamp, the table and the longbow.
Between these two pairs of items, he actually found the wrong truth.
In this game, Tang Mo stood at the 6 o 'clock position. He was the 6 o' clock player in the truth clock's mouth. The black rabbit stood at 0 o 'clock.
It was the 0 o 'clock player in the truth clock's mouth. Then, the truth clock just said —
The 0 o 'clock player moved forward one square.
The 6 o 'clock player moved back one square.
Tang Mo moved back one square.
The clock moved counterclockwise. Going against the clock was moving forward. He had just moved back one square.
"Of all the items on the truth clock, there is only one common truth between the two items. This is the single truth." Tang Mo whispered.
Just now, Tang Mo moved back one square.
This proved that out of the six items he had eliminated, four of them had the wrong truth, and only two of them had the right truth. Among them,
Tang Mo was most uncertain about the owl and the soup. However, he was puzzled.
Of the other four items,
Which two had made a mistake?
Whether it was the TV and the old lamp or the table and the longbow, perhaps the truth he found wasn't the only single truth. These two pairs of items and other items had other separate truths. But there was no doubt that …
The truth he found must be the single truth.
Tang Mo lowered his head.
His expression was uncertain.
Finally,
He let out a long sigh of relief. "Is what the black tower believes the truth …"
It could only be explained by this answer.
Tang Mo didn't find the wrong single truth but the single truth he understood might be different from what the black tower recognized. In that case …
Tang Mo raised his head and stared coldly at the black rabbit.
The black rabbit was happily humming a song. The distance between it and Tang Mo shortened. It shook its strong body excitedly and hummed an unknown song. It looked like a lot of black tower monsters that Tang Mo had seen. They all liked to sing out of tune songs and were satisfied with eating players. It looked stupid and easily angered. However, it had just moved forward one square while Tang Mo moved back one square.
Perhaps it was because the black rabbit was a black tower monster and had a better understanding of the truth clock game. But Tang Mo paid more attention to it.
He couldn't underestimate any of his opponents.
Tang Mo put his hands in his pocket and rubbed the gold coins in his pocket. He would not use the king's gold coin unless it was absolutely necessary.
There were five minutes before the next round of items appeared. Tang Mo sat on the ground again and looked up at the black rabbit. The black rabbit's mouth twitched when he saw Tang Mo sitting on the ground again. It snorted disdainfully and turned its head to look in another direction. But Tang Mo asked lightly, "What did you do wrong?"
The black rabbit didn't expect Tang Mo to ask this question. It looked at Tang Mo strangely and sneered. "Stupid human, do you think I will tell you?"
Tang Mo looked at it calmly and didn't speak.
One person and one rabbit stared at each other in silence. Five minutes passed and 16 blue lights flashed in the centre of the truth clock. Tang Mo was stunned when he saw so many beams of light and then his lips curved. Risk was accompanied by opportunity. The more items there were, the more grids he could move once he successfully eliminated the right item.
"Time: 0: 20. Location: Truth clock. 16 items rich in truth have appeared."
"After one minute, players 0 and 6, please eliminate the truth.
The long second hand started to move again. Once the truth clock announced that players were ready to eliminate the item, Tang Mo inadvertently looked up and found that the joy on the black rabbit's face was even more obvious. Its expression was one of surprise, followed by ecstasy, and in that joyful smile, there was also a hint of relief.
Tang Mo frowned. Was there something familiar among these 16 items?
There was no time to think about it as Tang Mo carefully observed the 16 items. The items that appeared on the truth clock weren't as simple as humans knew. There were three things Tang Mo had never seen before and one thing he had seen before. But his expression sank when he saw it.
It was a can of banana wine.
In Nanjing, Tang Mo had seen Xiao Jitong take out a can to save a dying short-haired girl.
The appearance of the banana wine meant that the items in the black tower world could also appear on the truth clock. For Tang Mo, it was impossible to find the individual truth in something he didn't know. Time was limited. Tang Mo first classified the 13 items he knew and quickly found a few pairs of items with individual truths.
Finally, he looked at the banana wine and the three strange items. The three items were —
It was a gray rat with a small horn on its head.
A blue transparent stone with a drop of red water suspended in the centre.
Finally, there was a fluffy thing that looked like hair.
"Click —"
One minute later, the second hand stopped at the 12 position and the blue wall slowly descended, pressing on the head of the grey mouse. Tang Mo and the black rabbit each gave their own answers. Every time Tang Mo said an answer, the two items he mentioned would emit a blue light, showing that they had been chosen. When he finished listing the 12 items, his gaze moved and fell on the last four items.
Tang Mo stared at the four items. His mouth opened before he finally closed it.
The blue wall slowly rose. Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit not far away and found that the expression on the black rabbit's face wasn't very good. He raised an eyebrow and waited for the answer from the truth clock.
"Click —"
The hour and minute hands under Tang Mo and the black rabbit's feet moved at the same time.
There were two clicks and the hour hand under Tang Mo's feet moved two squares to the left. He actually moved back two squares. On the other side of the clock, the minute hand under the black rabbit's feet moved four squares clockwise! When Tang Mo saw this, the corners of his mouth curved and he said lightly, "Move back four squares?"
The expression on the black rabbit's face constantly changed before it finally roared, "You shut up!"
"Player 0 has triggered a level three grey fallacy and player 6 has triggered a level three grey fallacy. Player 0 has moved back four squares and player 6 has moved back two squares. "
A weak suction force appeared under Tang Mo and the big rabbit's feet. This suction force was hard to detect at first. Tang Mo only felt that his body seemed to be a bit heavier. Once he found that something was wrong, he raised his foot and saw that on the ground under his feet, a dark dot was gradually growing and was now the size of a bowl.
As the black dot got bigger, the suction became more fierce. Once the black dot became a black vortex with a diameter of half a metre, the terrifying suction made Tang Mo's clothes flutter. Tang Mo's feet stepped on the edge of the grid and his hands pressed against the wall to stabilize his body. The black rabbit's situation was worse than his.
None of them expected that the punishment given by the truth clock would be this kind of black vortex for no reason. The black rabbit's body was a Russian tube doll. It couldn't use its hands and feet to stabilize its body like Tang Mo. It jumped left and right in the grid, using its jumps to generate new force under the strong suction force. It used this force to counteract the suction force of the black vortex so that it would not be sucked down.
The suction became stronger and Tang Mo felt a burst of pain in his scalp, as if his hair was going to be pulled off by the suction force.
Finally, three minutes passed and the black vortex disappeared. Tang Mo picked up his pants with a blank expression. He looked at the opposite side and saw that the black rabbit was lying on the ground, unable to move. At this time, Tang Mo was very glad that the underwear he was wearing today was tight and wasn't sucked off. He was also glad that he came to attack the tower alone. If there were other people, such as Fu Wensheng or Fu Wenduo …
Tang Mo coughed and pressed down this abnormal thought.
In this round of elimination, Tang Mo moved back two squares and the black rabbit moved back four squares. It seemed that both of them moved back but Tang Mo moved back fewer squares than the black rabbit. Tang Mo opened his mouth and said, "Oh, how did I suddenly get so close?"
The black rabbit raised its head and stared at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo's lips curved. "Now … it seems to be back to square one?"
