In the dark steel corridor, Fu Wenduo held the flashlight and walked in the front while Tang Mo followed him. The five players started from the top of the other stairs and looked around the second floor first. They moved quickly and found the first door.
Li Miaomiaos mood was relaxed now that they knew the clearance method. Fu Wenduo lowered his head and calmly looked at the door handle made of steel.
The next moment, his right hand transformed into a triangular shaped weapon while his left hand pulled down the doork.n.o.b. In an instant, flames erupted from the door and Li Miaomiao screamed, What is this? They hurriedly dodged to one side. Fu Wenduo used his hand to cut a path through the flames. The flames were extremely hold and were a terrible milky white colour.
Tang Mos eyes were cold as he looked inside and saw a giant beaker with a twisted shape inside. It shook from side to side and flames were constantly ejected from its mouth towards the door.
Tang Mo immediately cried out, Close the door!
Fu Wenduo tried to close the door but more flames aimed towards him, making him avoid it.
Tang Mo dodged two flames. He used one hand to stabilize his body while his other hand held the umbrella as he hooked it to the door handle. The beaker in the room made a buzzing sound. It paused for half a second before emitting the white flames at a faster rate. The flames were just about to hit the door when Tang Mo used the small parasol to pull it shut.
Everyone sighed with relief and calmed down.
Everything happened in three seconds but the terrible flames burned the players skin, making a sizzling sound. Fu Wenduos right hand returned to its original state and the back of his hand was burned black. He took out the dagger without changing his expression and cut off his burnt skin. Li Miaomiao and the others expressions changed when they saw this. Then they discovered that the burns on their skin kept expanding. The two female players gritted their teeth and also cut off the skin touched by the flames.
Li Miaomiao asked, What was that just now? We have been in this room before and there was nothing in it. How could a strange beaker suddenly appear?
Zhao Xiaofei remembered the scene where she was forced to cut off a few pieces of flesh during the first round of the game. She gritted her teeth and stared at the door in front of her with hateful eyes.
You remembered correctly. It might be a coincidence but when the flames emerged, Fu Wenduo had been standing in front of Tang Mo and Tang Mo only had a bit of burnt hair. He cut off his hair and said, There shouldnt be anything in this room. It could be said that the original room wasnt in this position.
The group was startled.
Tang Mo took out the map that Fu Wenduo drew. We just went up the stairs and walked five metres when we saw this door. However, according to the map, the door should be eight metres away from the stairs. Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo as he spoke.
Fu Wenduo nodded. It was really eight metres.
Zhao Xiaofei immediately wondered, Wait, you mean these rooms can change?
Tang Mo replied, Not only have the location of the rooms changed, the contents have also changed. Thats why this is Schrodingers Steel Castle.
Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the dark ceiling. The moment Schrodinger escaped with the middle-aged housekeeper, Tang Mo had become aware that this steel fortress was entirely Schrodingers product. The little black cat could absolutely manipulate this fortress.
Schrodinger is a great inventor. A low voice was heard. Tang Mo turned to look at Fu Wenduo on his right. Fu Wenduo looked back at him. This is his fortress and he can completely change the layout and contents of the rooms. However, he didnt change the location of the room where the truth clock was located. I took a look when going upstairs and the position of the doors in the second round didnt change. Fu Wenduo stated, The changes occurred only in the third round.
Tang Mo smiled and understood the meaning. Yes, why has it only changed in the third round?
Fu Wenduo added, I also want to know why it only changed in the third round and why an extremely dangerous invention was placed in the room.
The two peoples tactic understanding had raised to the extreme. Li Miaomiao didnt understand Fu Wenduo and Tang Mos words. She was ready to ask when Tang Mo gave the answer. He deliberately stretched out his voice as he said, Perhaps it is because he is lacking in confidence?
I-Im not lacking confidence! Youre lacking confidence! Your whole family is lacking confidence! The black tower is lacking confidence!!! The scream in the sweet voice was suddenly heard. The two scared female players jumped and suddenly understood the intention behind Tang Mo and Fu Wenduos conversation.
Tang Mo blinked innocently. It is just speculation. Lord Schrodinger, dont be so excited.
The black cat raised his hackles even more at the word. The soft voice constantly cursed Tang Mo and the d.a.m.n truth clock. The black cat was calling Tang Mo a stupid and ugly human when Fu Wenduo casually said, This makes it seem like you are lacking in confidence even more. Schrodingers voice suddenly stopped.
Five seconds pa.s.sed before the black cat became even angrier. You shameless humans!
Li Miaomiao understood that they really had found the right way to clear the game.
Schrodinger could freely change the position and contents of the room. He just couldnt change the corridors. This was the method to clear the black tower game and Schrodinger had no right to change it. However, he could place more dangerous inventions into the room. Tang Mos group had to find all rooms to win the game. If they died in one of the rooms, it would be a game failure.
Li Miaomiaos expression became uglier when she thought this.
The five people carefully found the next room. Fu Wenduo was about to open the door when Tang Mo suddenly spoke. We should take turns opening the doors.
The group turned their heads and looked at him.
Tang Mo continued without changing his expression, There are 108 rooms. It isnt fair if all the doors are opened by him.
Li Miaomiaos scalp felt numb. She also felt this wasnt very fair but no one mentioned it. Thus, she pretended not to know. Now that everyone was about to clear the game, Schrodinger was likely to put more dangerous things in every room. She was weak and didnt want to open the door. Still, Tang Mo was right
The two female players were feeling a bit embarra.s.sed when a laughing voice was heard, How can we let ladies do such a thing?
Tang Mo glanced at the smiling Grecia. Then what do you want to do?
The smile on Grecias face widened and his eyes stared deeply at Tang Mo. A moment later, he asked, A gentleman should do it?
Tang Mo said quickly, Then you do it.
Grecia who had no chance to feel remorse,
For the first time, Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xiaofei felt that this mixed-race person was very pleasing to the eye.
Schrodinger went crazy and placed dangerous inventions in each room. Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Grecia took turns to open the door. Grecia opened the door the most and had the most chances of encountering a dangerous invention. However, he often pulled the door closed with his cane in a flash.
Tang Mo slightly frowned as he watched Grecia and the short cane.
My lady?
Tang Mo glanced at Grecia before s.h.i.+ning his flashlight towards the next room. After one hour, the players finished the second floor and went down the stairs to the first floor. They had found 71 rooms. They searched through more rooms and Schrodingers curses became more frequent.
The most dangerous time was when Tang Mo opened a door and a white light enveloped the five people. By the time Tang Mo recovered his spirit, he found that his body couldnt move at all. Only his eyes could still move.
This was more restrictive than the world of the truth clock!
Schrodingers terrible and mysterious invention appeared in front of the players. Tang Mo found a familiar pocket watch in the middle of the room. He quietly observed the pocket watch and was the last to leave the room. The next door was just across the corridor and it was Grecias turn to open the door. He walked over with his cane.
The short cane struck the ground, making a rhythmic sound.
Tang Mo pulled out a small and delicate pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at it and quickly put it back. His movements were swift and the three people didnt notice. Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo was standing last and Fu Wenduo was to his right.
Tang Mo shook his head slightly and Fu Wenduo frowned.
Once the players found the 107th room, the voice of the black cat abruptly stopped. Tang Mo pointed the flashlight at the last staircase and stepped forward. He had just set foot on the first step when a gloating voice was heard, Hahaha, do you think you have really won?
Tang Mos footsteps suddenly stopped.
Schrodinger smiled wildly and declared proudly, You have lost. Do you really think the Great Schrodinger is going to be caught by you stupid humans? Humans, you are too naive! You will lost the moment you go up these stairs. I cant wait to make you into my collection!
Meow ~ The voice of the middle-aged housekeeper was heard after Schrodinger.
Zhao Xiaofei and Li Miaomiao heard this and felt suspicious and hesitant.
Fu Wenduo had no expression on his face. He put his hands in his pocket and seemed calm.
Grecias expression was very good as he looked up at the ceiling and then at his feet with a strange expression. Finally, he sighed softly and tapped the ground with his short cane, as if trying to mask Schrodingers voice.
Tang Mo raised his flashlight. Lets go.
Schrodinger,
Couldnt they show some reactions?
Stop! Humans, you really will lose. Once you come up, you will fall into the trap that I made with the fake clock!
Tang Mo stepped towards the second floor.
You lose. You will be made into a stinking toilet for Santa Claus. I will really send it!
Tang Mo took a few more steps and reached the centre of the stairs.
Hahaha, forget it. Then you can come quickly. I cant wait to see you turn into a stinking toilet
Tang Mo kept walking towards the top of the stairs. He took the last step and arrived at the second floor. Tang Mo searched carefully before finding a tiny door to the side of the stairs. The door was only half a metre high and half a metre wide. Tang Mo leaned door and grabbed the door handle.
You abominable humans!
Click.
The door was opened.
The flashlight from outside illuminated one person and one cat in the room. The tall middle-aged housekeeper was holding a bowl of stinky cat food and eating it happily in the corner. A small black cat crouched in the middle of the world, staring with big green eyes at the five players outside the door.
The green eyes were moist, as if he was reduced to angry tears.
At this moment, the black towers clear voice was heard.
Ding dong! The third round of the game is over. Congratulations to the players for finding Schrodinger and clearing the main mission: Schrodingers hide-and-seek game.
Outside the small door, five players bent over and stared at the small cat. The black cat was angry and annoyed. The black tower finished speaking and Grecia laughed. We found you, Great Schrodinger.
The next second, a soft voice growled out. b.a.s.t.a.r.d, what are you waiting for? Come on!
The group was stunned by the words. At the same time, a black shadow moved and stabbed at Tang Mo who was standing at the top of the stairs. Tang Mo reacted extremely quickly, moving sideways to avoid it. However, the dark shadow turned and cut a gash on Tang Mos face. Blood flowed down in an instant.
Half a month ago, the Spirit Prairie was burnt by fire.
The scorched black earth spread to the horizon and the smell of smoke didnt diminish even after a day. Many small animals crawled out of the dry soil, complaining and crying while silently packing up their homes that had been burnt.
Suddenly, the ears of a rabbit p.r.i.c.ked up while the nose of a black hamster moved.
The next second, the expressions of the two animals changed and they dug at the ground. They dug a tunnel and fled into the earth. A few seconds later, other small animals discovered the abnormalities. They looked horrified and ran with all their might. At this moment, a small black dot slowly approached from the horizon.
It was a lavish pumpkin carriage. w.a.n.g Xiaotian wore a long blue dress and sat on one side of the carriage. She covered her mouth like she was amused and laughed incessantly.
The carriage swayed towards a green meadow.
It was amazing that there was a 10 metre circular piece of intact gra.s.s on the prairie that had been burnt black. w.a.n.g Xiaotians eyes widened and she curiously looked out the window. What is that?
The other side of the carriage contained a blond man in red clothing. He heard w.a.n.g Xiaotians words and stared at the quirky round lawn. The next second, his lips curved and his short cane struck the floor. My lady, this is the purpose of my ride on your lovely carriage.
w.a.n.g Xiaotian smiled sweetly and deliberately said, Great sir, you didnt come for me? Im so sad.
The handsome blond man took off his hat and made a gentlemans salute towards w.a.n.g Xiaotian. He opened the door of the pumpkin carriage and his boots stepped on the scorched earth. He walked over and bent over to pick up two dirty shoes from the ground. No one expected this handsome and elegant man to suddenly put the shoes in front of his nose to sniff them. The even weirder thing was that w.a.n.g Xiaotian didnt find his actions strange. She just licked her small tigers teeth and showed a greedy expression.
In the bright suns.h.i.+ne, Grecia turned and smiled at w.a.n.g Xiaotian in the carriage. My lady, this abominable smell, I cant forget it.
