The Earth is Online - Chapter 153
[Chapter 153]
Everything happened very fast, the sharp black weapon slashed to the head, and the small pink parasol came from below. Tang Mo rested on the ground with one hand, with the tip of the umbrella facing up, and stabbed the opponent’s throat neatly. The sloppy old man didn’t expect Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo to attack suddenly, but the next second, he took out a crooked piece of rotten wood from his arms, split the small parasol first, and then faced Fu Wenduo.
Tang Mo took two steps back, and the old man’s rotten wood collided with Fu Wenduo’s triangular weapon.
The old man was shriveled and very thin, but there was a powerful strength hidden in his body. Fu Wenduo took a half step back, but the old man stood firmly on the spot. He gave a surprised “Huh”, and saw a shallow cut in the rotten wood in his hand. He looked up at Fu Wenduo’s right hand again, his eyes showing greed: “Hey, cut off your hand and give it to me… I can also give you this bowl of cat food.”
Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo didn’t give him a chance to speak at all, they both attacked together.
In the spacious garden, the sound of fierce fighting continued to sound.
Soon, Zhao Xiaofei also joined the battle. She took out a small purple box the size of a palm from her pocket, aimed it at the old man, and shot multiple purple needles in a row. The old man was able to dodge her needles with ease, and at the same time he still had the energy to resist Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s alliance. But gradually, he also lost a little.
Seeing the situation was not good, the old man gritted his teeth and turned around and wanted to run. Tang Mo raised his right hand, and dozens of silver steel needles appeared instantly. The needles turned and flew towards the old man. The old man cursed, dodged the attack, and shot all the steel needles into the soil. The old man was forced to run to the left, and Fu Wenduo attacked directly from the left, making him unavoidable.
The old man roared angrily, he broke the rotten wood in his hand, and suddenly a smell worse than cat food came out.
This smell exceeded the limit of human imagination, Tang Mo’s throat squirmed for a while, and almost spit it out. Even Fu Wenduo was stopped by the smell for a second. The old man took the opportunity to grab the cat food and ran away, spitting on several humans as he walked: “Bah! You shameless humans!”
Tang Mo covered his mouth with one hand, raised the other hand again, stared at the old man with red eyes, and shot dozens of needles again. Fu Wenduo also took out a thin rope and probed for the old man. The old man did not dare to be careless, and the two players forced themselves to adapt to the terrifying stench, and then chased after him.
Fu Wenduo pierced the old man’s thigh, and the old man staggered to the door. Tang Mo simply threw the small parasol and turned over to take out the big match. He roared angrily, and the head of the match rubbed sparks on the ground. Just when Tang Mo’s big match was about to ignite the old man’s clothes, a dark red figure came up from behind him, whoosh! The sound of the sharp weapon piercing the flesh sounded, Tang Mo’s movements stopped for a moment, and then he waved the match and ignited the old man’s body.
The old man opened his mouth wide and stared at the three humans in disbelief.
Tang Mo retracted the small parasol back to his wrist, and Fu Wenduo also stood still. They turned around and saw a tall, thin and elegant blond man raised his hand and gently covered his top hat. Grea smiled slightly and pulled out his crutches from the sloppy old man’s chest. He complained, “This smell is really unforgettable, my lady, such a smell shouldn’t exist in this world.”
I don’t know what material Grea’s cane is made of. After it pierced the old man’s body, the old man stopped breathing. The fire quickly devoured the corpse, and Li Miaomiao ran up to take the cat food from the old man. The flames gradually went out, leaving behind a black ash.
Tang Mo thoughtfully looked at the short staff in Greja’s hand, and then at the pool of ashes on the ground, his lips slowly pursed.
Li Miaomiao: “Do cats really want to eat something so stinky?”
Tang Mo turned to look at her.
Zhao Xiaofei came over to look at the shit-like thing, and covered her nose: “It still stinks. Isn’t this old man lying to us, is this really cat food?”
Grea explained very patiently: “He may lie, but the black tower will never lie. Defeat the underground people who guard the cat food and you can get a bowl of cat food, and lo and behold, we have it now– A very tasty bowl of cat food.”
Tang Mo said lightly, “If you really think it’s delicious, I can give it to you.”
Gray: “…”
Probably because she didn’t want to eat cat food, Grea closed her mouth and stopped talking.
Li Miaomiao, a surgeon, is very accepting of this dirty and smelly “cat food”. She carefully walked into Schrödinger’s castle with this bowl of cat food. The five players followed behind her and entered the gate in turn. The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper closed the gate at the end. Led by Li Miaomiao, five people searched in the castle.
“Meow, meow? It’s time to eat.” Li Miaomiao shouted while holding the cat food.
“Meow meow?”
“Here’s your favorite cat food.”
“Meow meow.”
Five people took cat food from the first floor of the castle to the second floor, and finally returned to the first floor. Every black cat would turn around and run away when they saw them, even running faster than before, with no intention of wanting to eat cat food. Li Miaomiao gave up and said, “Sure enough, I said how can a normal cat eat this kind of thing. Dogs can’t change to eat shit. Now that dogs don’t eat shit, how can cats eat it.”
Zhao Xiaofei: “Then what should we do? The black tower said that Schrödinger’s cat will eat this bowl of cat food. If it doesn’t come out to eat cat food, how should we find it?”
Things came to a deadlock again.
Suddenly, a stiff male voice sounded from behind Li Miaomiao: “Guests, this kind of smelly thing cannot be placed in the castle. If you don’t plan to dispose of it, I can do it for you.”
Li Miaomiao was taken aback: “This is cat food, and Schrödinger’s cat has always eaten it.” Can cat food be placed in the castle?
The middle-aged butler didn’t answer, just lowered his head and repeated: “Guest, this smelly thing…”
Everyone said a few more words, but the housekeeper didn’t seem to hear anything, just kept repeating this sentence. Wherever Li Miaomiao went, he followed wherever he went, reminding him constantly.
Fu Wenduo: “Give it to him.”
Li Miaomiao looked at Fu Wenduo in astonishment: “But this is the cat food we finally grabbed.”
Fu Wenduo: “A bowl of cat food will appear every three hours. This bowl of cat food is useless even if we keep it, so we can give it to him. He said he has a way to deal with it.”
Zhao Xiaofei: “But…”
Li Miaomiao remembered Ruan Wangshu’s exhortation before she left, and said, “Okay, I don’t want to hold this thing anyway.” After speaking, she quickly stuffed the cat food into the middle-aged butler’s hand. The middle-aged butler seemed unable to smell the stench in his hand, and walked into the kitchen with the cat food expressionlessly.
Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo looked at each other and followed.
Li Miaomiao also understood what they meant: “Hey, can we still follow this housekeeper to find Schrödinger’s cat?”
The housekeeper walked slowly to the kitchen holding the cat food, he put the cat food in the cupboard, locked the door and left again. Five players sit back and forth in the kitchen. The kitchen stinks the most, and a black cat refuses to come in. After waiting for half an hour, they had to give up and search for the cat as before.
This time everyone changed floors, Tang Mo and Li Miaomiao were looking for the first floor, and Fu Wenduo and the others were looking for the second floor.
Li Miaomiao grabbed a kitten, checked it, and made a mark on its hind legs. The two quickly searched ten rooms and found nothing. And as Tang Mo said, their efficiency in finding cats was greatly reduced. Of the cats caught by the two, eight out of ten have been marked and have been found.
An hour and a half later, the two had only found a dozen cats.
Li Miaomiao let go of a dirty little black cat, squatted on the ground, and was very confused: “Do we really want us to find this copy this time? We should have found a total of more than 200 cats now. Cats, there are more than 100. If the cat is not here at all, aren’t we doing free labor?”
“It must be here.” Tang Mo said.
Li Miaomiao turned to look at him.
The remaining black cats are more clever than each other, and the kittens run away before the player can get close to them. Tang Mo pretended not to care, stared straight ahead, and walked past a kitten hidden behind a vase. When the kitten was not paying attention, he suddenly shot and grabbed the cat.
“Meow!”
The little black cat screamed angrily and scratched Tang Mo’s hand with its paws. It’s a pity that its little claws couldn’t leave traces on Tang Mo’s hard skin, so it simply gnawed its teeth. Tang Mo checked, put the cat down, and looked up at Li Miaomiao: “The cat must be here. Any game given by the black tower can be cleared. If the cat is not here, we will never find it. It cannot be cleared. So, Schrödinger’s cat must be in this castle.”
Li Miaomiao actually understood this truth. She gritted her teeth and said, “It’s really not possible. We can search every cat again, and the elimination method will definitely be found.”
Tang Mo was noncommittal.
The two continued to search.
“What kind of game is this? How could there be cats who like to eat that kind of cat food.” Li Miaomiao complained. Before Earth went online, she raised a cat, it wasn’t a precious breed, but let alone shit, her cat didn’t even like to eat fish and was very picky eater. There may be cats in the world that don’t eat fish, but there can’t be cats who like to eat shit. “…is Schrödinger’s cat so different from other normal cats?”
Tang Mo’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
Li Miaomiao took a few steps and turned to look at him: “Tang Mo?”
Tang Mo opened his eyes slightly, and his brain thought quickly. He closed his eyes, and the next moment, he said, “A cat that is different…Schrödinger’s cat, maybe not a cat?!”
Li Miaomiao was taken aback: “Huh?”
Tang Mo: “Do you know the Schrödinger theory?”
Li Miaomiao: “Of course I know, I’m a science student, and Schrödinger’s cat is an experiment he proposed. Put a cat in a box containing radioactive substances, there is a 50% chance that the substance will decay, and the cat will It will die; with a 50% probability of not decaying, the cat will not die. Before opening the box, no one knows whether the cat is alive or dead, it is both alive and dead.” After a pause, she asked : “But what does this have to do with this game?”
“Does Schrodinger’s cat have to be a cat?”
Li Miaomiao: “What is not a cat?”
Tang Mo frowned, but the corners of his mouth slowly twitched. He whispered the three rules of the game given by the black tower, and when Li Miaomiao was at a loss to ask again, he raised his head: “Until we find the cat and finish the game, no one will know, then Is a cat a cat or something? This cat may be an ordinary cat, or it may not be a cat at all. Your name is Li Miaomiao.”
Li Miaomiao vaguely sensed what Tang Mo meant, but she still didn’t understand: “My name is Li Miaomiao?!” Does this have anything to do with the game?
“Yes, your name is Li Miao…” A cat suddenly gave Tang Mo a hug, and Tang Mo’s voice stopped. He checked the little black cat that had thrown himself into his arms, saw the markings on the other’s hind legs, and let the cat go. He raised his head and continued: “Your name is Li Miaomiao, so you can’t be a cat. But what if… your name is a cat?”
Li Miaomiao opened her eyes wide, and she said in shock, “You mean, anything can be that cat? Schrödinger’s cat is not necessarily a real cat? The Black Tower gave three rules of the game: Schrödinger has only one It’s a cat, it doesn’t fit in, it likes cleanliness, it likes cat food… eh?!!! Can it still be like this?”
“Om-”
An hour later, the pendulum clock in the center of the castle hall struck the hour with a loud sound. Five players gathered downstairs, exchanged information, and counted the number of black cats that everyone checked this time. After making sure that no one had found Schrödinger’s cat, under the leadership of the housekeeper, the five walked out of the gate, walked into the garden, and waited for the cat food to appear.
Tang Mo and Fu Wen took it at the back.
Tang Mo lowered his voice: “How is it?”
Fu Wenduo lowered his eyes and fixedly looked at Tang Mo: “Nothing unusual, it looks like a very ordinary short stick. It should be some kind of prop, no weaker than your big match.”
To be able to kill a powerful underground man in an instant, the quality of this item is at least excellent.
Tang Mo pondered for a moment: “Where’s the bowl of cat food?”
Fu Wenduo: “It’s still in the cupboard.” After a pause, he added: “There is a lock on the cupboard.”
Hearing this, Tang Mo’s footsteps suddenly stopped, he looked up at Fu Wenduo in surprise, his eyes just fell into the other’s dark eyes. The two looked at each other quietly, and Tang Mo understood what Fu Wenduo meant. He was thinking very fast, and he overturned some of his previous thoughts in a few moments, but before he could speak, a familiar and unpleasant singing sounded from a distance—
“Oh, did you eat stowaways today?”
“The hearts of stowaways are especially good for drinking.”
“The liver of stowaways is stir-fried and not greasy.”
“The stowaways’ thighs are chewy and powerful.”
“Oh! My respected Excellency Schrödinger, have you eaten stowaways today?”
Hearing this song, Li Miaomiao was shocked in place. She grasped her weapon tightly and saw a black shadow slowly approaching from a distance. This is a short, thin, dirty old man, wearing tattered gray clothes, his face is covered in gray, as if he hadn’t taken a bath for many days. He walked to the center of the garden, sat down, and pulled out a bowl of dark stuff from his dirty chest.
The next second, the familiar stench hits the face, and this time the players are already prepared.
Seeing everyone’s calm reaction, the sloppy old man spit in disappointment, and soon he sniffed and smelled a delicious aroma: “Oh, see what I smell? A stowaways, or two stowaways! Delicious cat food, the most famous top royal cat food in the Underworld Kingdom, do you want to get it? A smuggler for a bowl of cat food, this business is really worth it!”
Zhao Xiaofei was a little hesitant, she glanced at Tang Mo and others seemingly casually. To be able to enter this game, Zhao Xiaofei at least cleared the first floor of the black tower, not a fool. She observed that Tang Mo was not a stowaways, nor was Fu Wenduo. Then the most likely stowaways are this Li Miaomiao and that inexplicable Greia.
Sending Greya out for cat food, Zhao Xiaofei agreed with both hands and feet. This person is a bit different, and seems to have a secret. Such teammates are likely to be a time bomb when placed in the team.
But they can’t do it.
Zhao Xiaofei held the purple box tightly, ready to attack at any time. However, what she didn’t expect was that Li Miaomiao suddenly said, “Schrodinger’s cat really likes your cat food?”
The old man seemed to have been stabbed in the foot and jumped up from the ground: “What do you know, shameless human being! Your Excellency Schrödinger’s cat only eats my cat food, it likes it!”
Li Miaomiao: “but he didn’t eat the bowl of cat food you brought over last time.”
The old man immediately shouted: “Impossible!”
Seeing his reaction, Li Miaomiao knew that he was not lying. Schrödinger’s cat really likes that bowl of shit cat food. That being the case…
“Schrödinger’s cat must be in this fortress. He is not gregarious and likes to be clean. In theory, he likes to eat shit… eat that bowl of cat food. But he didn’t eat it. There is only one possibility.” Li Miao Miao’s eyes swept over everyone present, and finally, her eyes stopped and she settled on that person: “Who said that Schrödinger’s cat must be a cat? He didn’t eat that bowl of cat food because he didn’t have a chance to eat it. , he’s been with us all the time…”
“Really, Mr. Grea?”
Under the bright sun, the man in the dark red dress was lowering his head and teasing the little black cat in his arms. Suddenly being watched by so many people, Grea looked at everyone in surprise, which seemed incredible. Looking at Li Miaomiao’s determined expression, Greya blinked: “Me? Schrödinger’s cat? My lady, do you think… I’m Schrödinger’s cat?” He laughed and asked, “Dear lady, Can I ask what makes you judge like that? If I’m a cat, why isn’t he, he, and she a cat?”
Greya pointed to Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, and Zhao Xiaofei one by one.
Of course Li Miaomiao couldn’t say that she knew Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, so she knew that they were definitely not cats. As for not thinking Zhao Xiaofei is a cat…
Li Miaomiao did not change her face: “A woman’s intuition.”
“So to you, I look like a cat?” Grea raised her eyebrows, nodded her head and thought about it for a long time. He seemed to have figured out something, grabbed the paw of the kitten in his arms, imitated the lucky cat to gently scratch the air, and made a soft sound: “Like this—”
“… Meow~?”
The air froze for a moment.
Such a reaction does not need to be proved by the black tower, and Li Miaomiao also finds that she seems to have guessed wrong. “How is that possible?! To be able to eat cat food means it must be alive and alive. There are only a few of us humans and the hundreds of cats in this castle, and the hundreds of cats don’t eat cat food at all, because they are all alive. It’s not Schrödinger’s cat, normal cats don’t eat cat food. It could only be us…”
Li Miaomiao turned her head to look at Zhao Xiaofei.
Zhao Xiaofei’s eyes were red: “You are sick, how could I be a cat, I am a human.”
The hoarse laughter sounded: “Hahahaha, look what I heard, you actually said that he is Schrödinger’s cat? How could this be the real Schrödinger’s cat. This is really the funniest joke of the Underworld Kingdom this year, I will sell it to Peter Pan’s gossip tabloid, and I will definitely get a king’s gold coin! I have already thought of the name, so I call it weird…” The old man suddenly closed his mouth and blinked: “Then I won’t say it. Follow the rules of the black tower, so…hehe, are you going to buy my cat food now?”
