The black tower's voice fell and there was a whooshing sound.
The black cats in the castle seemed to be greatly frightened.
They scattered in an instant. It all happened so suddenly.
Tang Mo and the others didn't have time to stop them. These cats were like a black torrent, rushing to every corner of the castle. The cats' cries formed a three-dimensional ring in everyone's ears.
It was so piercing that it made their scalp tingle.
The robot-like middle-aged housekeeper bowed to the five players.
Then he silently walked to the door and bowed his head.
Pairs of green eyes quietly looked at them from the darkness.
He looked at the five strange humans. Tang Mo glanced at the entire castle.
He turned and asked, "Can we find cats in the castle?"
The housekeeper still lowered his head. "Places that aren't allowed to enter.
We can't enter. "
Li Miaomiao's eyes turned and she asked a few more questions, wanting to learn more about Schrodinger and his cat from the housekeeper. However, the housekeeper only repeated this sentence from beginning to end.
Tang Mo glanced at him and said, "Then let's go find the cat now."
The castle was dark.
The copper moonlight shone through the high ceiling windows.
It barely illuminated the dim outline of a house. The housekeeper stood at the door and didn't move.
The five people had a total of two flashlights. They were divided into two groups. One group was Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao.
The other group was Fu Wenduo, Grecia and Zhao Xiaofei, looking for Schrodinger's cat separately.
The Tang Mo duo were responsible for the second floor of the castle.
The Fu Wenduo trio were responsible for the first floor.
Tang Mo turned on the flashlight.
He calmly walked to the second floor. There were two long corridors in front of them.
The two corridors met at the staircase,
Forming a 90-degree angle that stretched in both directions. The dense doors were symmetrically distributed on both sides of the corridor. The red moonlight shone on the doors, quiet and treacherous.
Li Miaomiao walked up and carefully pressed her hand on the door. Tang Mo held the handle of the small parasol and Li Miaomiao was ready. She pressed down hard and heard a clicking sound. Li Miaomiao was stunned. "Hey, it's locked?"
Yes, the door was locked.
Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao split up to open the doors. There were 19 doors in the two corridors, 10 of which were locked and 9 could be opened. As Li Miaomiao tried to open the door lock, the black tower's voice was heard in the castle.
"Ding Dong! In Schrodinger's Iron Fortress, the locked rooms are filled with His Excellency Schrodinger's treasures and require a key to open them. "
If the black tower said it couldn't be opened, then the door definitely couldn't be opened.
Li Miaomiao put down her hand.
When the two of them tried to open the door, a dozen cats flashed past them. Li Miaomiao tried to catch the cats several times but Tang Mo stopped her. The female doctor was puzzled. "Aren't we looking for Schrodinger's cats? Don't we need to look at these cats?"
Tang Mo didn't reply. He entered an empty room and searched it carefully. He found two thin black kittens in the corner. As soon as the two cats saw humans, they turned around and ran. Li Miaomiao was faster than the cats. She wasn't too strong but she was on the second floor of the black tower. She easily caught the two cats and was disappointed when she saw the dirt on their paws. "The second rule of the game states that Mr. Cat loves cleanliness … these two shouldn't be his."
Tang Mo looked at her. "These are two cats."
Li Miaomiao didn't understand what he meant. "What?"
"The first rule of the game states that Schrodinger only has one cat. The second rule is that this cat loves cleanliness and is very unsociable. "
After a few seconds, Li Miaomiao asked, "Eh? Do you mean that as long as we see more than one cat, it definitely isn't Schrodinger's cat? But these cats all look exactly the same. Schrodinger only had one cat … Could it be that his cat was different from other cats? "
No one knew the answer.
According to Tang Mo's speculation, Schrodinger's cat had two characteristics. First, it was unsociable. Second, it loved cleanliness. In addition, after three hours, cat food would appear in the castle. Cats loved to eat cat food.
Li Miaomiao said, "We can use the cat food to lure the cat out."
Before that, all they could do was find the cat as much as possible.
Tang Mo bent down and picked up a cat in the corner, carefully observing the cat's fur. Once he saw a brown mark on the cat's paw, he gently placed the cat on the ground and continued to look for the next one. The second floor was twice as small as the first floor. An hour later, Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao finished checking the cats in the room. Next, there were more cats hidden in the hidden corners.
Tang Mo walked in the corridor with a flashlight. Suddenly, he stopped and his right hand moved forward, reaching into a high-necked vase. There was a sharp cry and a small black cat was caught in Tang Mo's hand. The cat was caught by a human and kept screaming in fear, its harsh voice echoing through the castle.
After checking the traces on the cat, Tang Mo let it go and continued to move forward.
Li Miaomiao looked at the tall and thin back of the young man. After a long time, she couldn't help saying, "… I thought you would be on a team with Fu Wenduo, not with me?" With a woman's keen sixth sense, Li Miaomiao sensed that Tang Mo seemed to have other intentions. She looked warily at the other person and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Tang Mo stopped and turned to look at her. Tang Mo raised an eyebrow when he saw Li Miaomiao's wary expression. "Do you think I want to use this to get rid of you?"
Li Miaomiao didn't say anything.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were teammates. Whether it was looking for the exit of the forest or searching for Schrodinger's cat, Tang Mo didn't ask to be on a team with Fu Wenduo. Li Miaomiao had to be suspicious. She didn't think Tang Mo would take the opportunity to get rid of her but she couldn't think of other reasons.
"What do you think of Grecia?"
Li Miaomiao was thinking about Tang Mo's intentions and didn't respond for a moment. "Ah?" After a long time, she asked, "You mean the mixed-blood foreigner? There seems to be something wrong with him. He dresses strangely and talks strangely. He always says some inexplicable things, such as ladies and gentlemen. Li Miaomiao immediately thought, "Wait, do you suspect something is wrong with him?"
Tang Mo replied, "He is very strong."
Li Miaomiao thought for a moment and understood Tang Mo's meaning.
Grecia was indeed very strong.
When Zhao Xiaofei fell from the steel bar, Fu Wenduo didn't have time to save her. Grecia quickly climbed the pole and hugged Zhao Xiaofei. Li Miaomiao didn't see this scene but she saw Grecia holding the steel bar with one hand and Zhao Xiaofei with the other. He climbed dozens of metres with ease.
"In some ways, his strength isn't worse than Victor's. He might be stronger." Tang Mo continued to call out Victor's name. Even if there were only two people, he didn't expose Fu Wenduo's name. "Victor is a special forces soldier and is very good at climbing poles. After Grecia went up, I deliberately watched the posture and speed of the two of them climbing the pole. Victor climbed up with skill, and it was very easy. But Grecia seems … "Tang Mo found a description." He doesn't seem to be climbing the pole, he is just walking. "
"Walking?"
"For him, the gravity that binds us doesn't seem to exist. Of course, this might just be his ability. "
Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao had seen gravity abilities. Ruan Wangshu's ability was gravity suppression.
Li Miaomiao wondered, "So you let Fu … Victor team up with them to monitor Grecia?"
Tang Mo continued to move forward with a flashlight, speaking in a calm tone. "If the other side suddenly attacks, Victor can subdue him."
If Grecia was killed, Fu Wenduo would have a greater chance.
Li Miaomiao's breathing stagnated. She suddenly realized that the relationship between players became more fragile when the black tower game progressed to this point. This was especially true in the tower attack game. Every player didn't necessarily attack the same floor and the tower attack missions might be different. The same benefits could drive players to cooperate but different benefits could lead to players killing each other.
Li Miaomiao stopped talking and continued to catch the black cats. Once they determined that a cat wasn't Schrodinger's cat, they would cut off a small tuft of hair from the cat's hind legs as a mark.
Time slowly passed and two hours later, the group gathered in the hall on the first floor of the castle. In the silent and empty castle, there was the regular sound of metal crashing in the steel forest outside the window. Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo and Fu Wenduo shook his head, his eyes gently sweeping over Grecia.
In the middle of the hall, a blond man in a crimson suit held a short cane in his right hand and a small black cat in his left arm. Grecia found Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao looking at him and raised his head with a smile. "I don't know why this little cutie keeps pestering me." As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and the black cat immediately opened its mouth and weakly bit it. It was more like licking than biting. The kitten narrowed its eyes coquettishly. "As a gentleman, I never refuse the invitation of any lady. Especially for such a lovely little lady. "
Zhao Xiaofei didn't pay attention to such a strange man as she explained the situation of her team. "We found 97 cats but we didn't find Schrodinger's cat."
Li Miaomiao stated, "We found 86."
Zhao Xiaofei's expression became ugly.
In three hours, they found 183 cats and none of them were Schrodinger's cat. In the hall, they saw a total of 400 to 500 cats. At this rate, they would have to search for at least another six hours. This was a conservative estimate. The further they went, the harder it would be to find new cats and the longer it would take.
"The black tower didn't set a time limit for this mission." Zhao Xiaofei spoke seriously. "However, I feel that we can't just casually search. We have to hurry and find the cat."
Everyone agreed with her point of view.
Tang Mo opened his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, he looked out the window. At the same time, Fu Wenduo and Grecia also looked out the window. The next second, a strange and rapid sound of metal colliding came from outside the window. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo glanced at each other before quickly leaving the side door of the castle and entering the beautiful garden.
Li Miaomiao and the others followed. Once they saw the person coming from a distance, the five of them froze in place.
"Oh, did you eat stowaways today?"
"The heart of a stowaway is particularly good to drink."
"The liver of a stowaway isn't greasy when fried."
"The thigh of a stowaway is chewy and powerful."
"Oh! My dear Lord Schrodinger, did you eat stowaways today? "
A strange nursery rhyme came from the distance of the platform. A thin old man dressed in sloppy clothes held a bottle of banana wine in his hand and burped as he walked towards the steel castle. His iron shoes slammed against the ground of the steel platform, making a strange metal collision sound. He swayed left and right as he walked, his turbid eyes filled with greed and lust. Once he entered the garden, he went straight to the middle of the garden and pulled out a broken bowl. Then, he took out a dirty old plastic bag from his sleeve and poured the black solid inside into the bowl.
In an instant, the smell of feces filled the entire garden.
The smell was so strong that it was nauseating. The smell of feces almost condensed into a substance and a yellow scent could be seen in the air. Zhao Xiaofei retched. Grecia's eyes narrowed and the smile on his face disappeared. Li Miaomiao was fine. She was a doctor and a surgeon before the earth went online and was used to these things.
The physiological nausea was uncontrollable. Tang Mo pursed his lips and slowly squeezed his fingers. Suddenly, a warm hand blocked in front of him. Tang Mo's body froze and he turned to look at Fu Wenduo with astonishment. Fu Wenduo lowered his eyes and his right hand covered Tang Mo's nose and mouth. Tang Mo took a gentle breath and smelled a faint lemon smell.
Before the tower attack game, they found a house to take a shower. The shower gel seemed to be lemon flavoured?
Somehow, this sentence flashed through Tang Mo's mind.
The hot palm was tightly pressed against Tang Mo's face, skin to skin. Tang Mo recovered and his fingers moved. His right hand raised and lowered but he didn't pull Fu Wenduo's hand away. Zhao Xiaofei and Grecia stood in front of them and couldn't see their movements. After a long time, the corners of Tang Mo's lips curled up.
Fu Wenduo said, "How is it?"
Tang Mo shook his head. "It's okay."
As time passed, the stench became lighter and lighter. Three minutes later, everyone was used to the stench.
Fu Wenduo regretfully removed his hand from Tang Mo's mouth.
The thin old man in ragged clothes sat on the ground, his broken bowl placed beside him. The old beggar sang the 'stowaways song' loudly again. In the song, he ate the stowaways' hearts and livers again. After he finished singing, he chuckled and moved his nose, sniffing the air.
The old man's malicious eyes swept over Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao as he shouted, "Premium cat food, royal certification of the Underground Kingdom. Schrodinger's cat's favourite delicious cat food. Does anyone want to buy it? "
Zhao Xiaofei shouted, "How?"
"How? Oh, my respected Lord Schrodinger, is there anyone in this world who doesn't know how to buy this bowl of cat food? " The thin old man had an exaggerated expression on his face. Then his expression suddenly changed and he laughed hoarsely. "How to buy it … use stowaways to buy it! A stowaway is worth a bowl of cat food! "
Tang Mo's eyes were cold as he asked, "What if we don't use stowaways to buy it?"
"Don't use stowaways to buy it?" The old man was angry. "You shameless human who doesn't want to pay and still wants to get cat food. Without stowaways, there is no bowl of cat food! I'm telling you, there is no bowl! There are obviously two stowaways here but you won't even give me a stowaway. You want to buy my bowl of cat food? I'm telling you, there is no way! "
There were two stowaways!
Zhao Xiaofei's sharp eyes swept over and stared at Tang Mo's group.
Tang Mo asked, "Is there no other way?"
The thin old man got up from the ground and said angrily, "No!"
"There is."
Everyone's eyes turned to Fu Wenduo.
Under the red moonlight, the tall and handsome man waved his right hand and a dark triangular weapon instantly appeared in his hand. His lips curved and his voice was low and magnetic. "Kill you … this bowl of cat food is also ours."
The old man was stunned.
The third rule of the game: Defeat the greedy underground person guarding the cat food to get the cat food.
