The Earth is Online - Chapter 154
[Chapter 154]
The old underground man stared at the two stowaways with greedy eyes. His eyes were naked|naked|exposed|bone, and he laughed sinisterly, revealing yellow teeth. He looked exactly like the old beggar who appeared three hours ago, and now he is looking at Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao with the same eyes.
“A stowaways can exchange for a bowl of cat food… It’s a good deal.”
The answer to him was the violent attacks of the players.
There are a total of five players in the audience, and two of them are stowaways. Undoubtedly, it is absolutely impossible for these two stowaways to stand up and exchange themselves for cat food. Even if the five of them don’t know each other, three-on-two, trying to catch two stowaways may not be successful. What’s more, Zhao Xiaofei vaguely sensed that the powerful and silent man seemed to be one of the stowaways.
Catch the fellow stowaways and kill the old underground man, the five unanimously choose the latter.
But none of them thought that this time the sloppy old man was much stronger than before. Moving more quickly, the old man took out a thicker wooden stick from his muddy chest. He slammed it on the sharp black weapon in Fu Wenduo’s right hand. Fu Wenduo took a step back, his shoulders numb.
Tang Mo immediately understood when he saw this: “He has become stronger.”
The crowd did not dare to be careless.
This time it took them ten minutes to subdue the old man. The old man was stabbed through the heart by Fu Wenduo, fell to the ground in a very comical posture, twitched twice and stopped moving. Soon, his body turned into a small handful of ashes, all scattered in the air when the wind blew.
Zhao Xiaofei was shocked: “He turned gray himself?!”
Yes, this time Tang Mo didn’t ignite the old beggar, but the old man turned to ashes himself. Tang Mo stared at the pool of black ash on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly. He stepped forward and picked up the cat food left by the old man from the ground. Tang Mo covered his nose expressionlessly and handed the cat food to Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao was stunned.
After a while: “…You obviously took it and gave it back to me?”
Tang Mo nodded, walked between Fu Wenduo and Greya, and looked like a passerby again.
Li Miaomiao: “…”
This is still not a man!
Li Miaomiao walked into the castle with a depressed look on her face, holding cat food like shit.
Tang Mo actually gave Li Miaomiao the cat food for two reasons. First, Li Miaomiao is more accustomed to this kind of taste. The last time she took cat food into the castle to find a cat. Second, this team is vaguely led by Li Miaomiao. Tang Mo didn’t want to destroy this hard-to-form relationship.
The five people entered Schrödinger’s castle in order. The butler walked last and slammed the door shut. In the dark castle, the red moonlight projected into the house through the stained glass windows on the second floor, barely illuminating a little light. Li Miaomiao took the cat food and planned to check the first floor first, and then go to the second floor to find the cat. Before she even walked into the corridor, she was stopped by Tang Mo.
“Go from here.”
Li Miaomiao stopped and turned to look in the direction of Tang Mo’s finger.
This is a dark path. Compared with other corridors, it is more like a passage for people to walk. There is not much gold decoration. Li Miaomiao glanced at Tang Mo and understood: “Whatever.” After saying that, she walked into this corridor with cat food.
The two female players whispered the kitten’s voice, trying to attract the mysterious cat. At the end of the corridor, Li Miaomiao planned to turn her head. She turned around halfway and looked up to see a small wooden door in front of her. Li Miaomiao paused, and she instantly understood what Tang Mo meant. The female doctor calmly looked at Tang Mo, then at Fu Wenduo.
Neither of them responded to her.
Li Miaomiao muttered, “It’s better to have a good head and sister Zheng”, and then said, “Is this the kitchen? Let’s go into the kitchen and have a look.”
The middle-aged butler slowly raised his head and stared straight at Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao: “Can’t you go in and find a cat?”
Butler Voice Machine: “Yes.”
The butler took out the key and opened the kitchen door. A bowl of hot soup was burning on the kitchen stove, and the smell was fragrant. This smell blended with the black cat food in Li Miaomiao’s hands, and even Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows, feeling that things were a little disgusting. The corners of Li Miaomiao’s mouth twitched, holding cat food and looking around in the kitchen.
The crowd finally stopped in front of a locked cupboard.
Zhao Xiaofei: “Hey, that bowl of cat food was put in this cabinet before, right? Can you open it and take a look?”
The middle-aged butler lowered his head and did not speak.
Li Miaomiao: “Can’t open it?”
The middle-aged butler still bowed his head and did not speak.
Both female players noticed that something was wrong and asked the housekeeper to open the cabinet. But the butler seemed to have pressed the mute button and heard nothing. It was as if the two female players didn’t say a certain keyword, and he wouldn’t react.
Tang Mo: “Can you force open the cabinet?”
The butler still didn’t speak.
Tang Mo raised the corners of his lips: “Since you don’t speak, it seems that you have acquiesced.”
Li Miaomiao opened her eyes wide: “Wait, do you want to forcibly open the cabinet?”
When she said this, Fu Wenduo had already stepped forward, and with a slight movement of her right index finger, it turned into a thin wire. Seeing this, Greya’s eyes moved, revealing a strange smile. Fu Wenduo held up the lock with one hand, while the other hand put the wire into the keyhole and flicked it a few times. With a crisp click, Fu Wenduo took off the unlocked lock.
The cabinet opened with a creak, and after everyone saw the contents of the cabinet, Li Miaomiao turned her head to look at the housekeeper: “Where’s the cat food in it?!”
The butler actually raised his head and replied, “It’s poured out.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone could not refute them. The housekeeper has long said that such odorous things cannot be placed in the castle, and he will handle cat food. It’s not impossible to throw out cat food. But the two women always felt that something was wrong. With women’s intuition, they realized that things were not so simple.
Zhao Xiaofei asked tentatively, “Where did it fall?”
The butler repeated again: “Drained.”
Li Miaomiao: “When did you pour it?” The cat food has a strong odor. The housekeeper took it out of the cupboard and poured it out, which should be discovered by the players.
The housekeeper was still saying, “It’s poured out.”
Everyone had nothing to do with him, so Li Miaomiao simply imitated Tang Mo and said angrily, “Can I force you to tell the truth?”
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper raised his head this time and stared at Li Miaomiao silently: “It is forbidden to beat Schrödinger’s possessions.”
Li Miaomiao: “…”
Damn, why didn’t you acquiesce this time!
“You belong to Schrödinger?” A clear male voice sounded from behind Li Miaomiao. Tang Mo stood beside Fu Wenduo, even halfway back than Grea, and asked with a smile.
The middle-aged butler replied: “Yes. Except for the five guests, everything in this fort belongs to the esteemed Lord Schrodinger.”
“Including the old underground man who appeared just now?”
The middle-aged butler paused and bowed, “Yes.”
Zhao Xiaofei’s eyes widened, she thought of Li Miaomiao’s speculation just now. “Schrödinger’s cat is not necessarily a cat, it may be a person, it may be something else. Could it be that… that cat is actually the underground man? The underground man is not a real underground man at all, he can be resurrected from the dead, He can also turn into ashes himself. He is Schrödinger’s cat!”
“He’s not.” Fu Wenduo said in a low voice, “Schrödinger’s cat likes to eat cat food. The cat won’t exchange cat food for stowaways, because it doesn’t need stowaways, it needs cat food.”
Tang Mo: “And Schrödinger’s cat likes to be clean. The old man in the ground doesn’t like to be clean.”
Seeing how the two of them were singing together, Grea laughed, and while stroking the fur of the little black cat in her arms, she said, “Then it’s my turn now? Schrödinger only had one cat, although that one died. The resurrected cute may still be the same person, but it may not be a cat. My lady, to sum up, that little friend is definitely not Schrödinger’s cat.”
Tang Mo glanced at Greya and said calmly, “Exclude all the impossible answers, and the one left at the end, no matter how impossible, is definitely the correct answer.”
Li Miaomiao thought about Tang Mo’s words, and after a few seconds, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the middle-aged butler with a poker face.
Tang Mo: “Schrödinger has only one cat, and he is the only one in this fortress.”
Fu Wenduo looked down at Tang Mo: “Schrödinger’s cat loves to be clean.”
Grea hugged the little black cat, raised the cat’s paw and scratched the air: “Only he has the key to this cabinet.”
Being stared at coldly by five players, the middle-aged butler did not change his face, as if he had not been exposed. He kept his head down, as if he didn’t know anything.
Tang Mo: “If it was really eaten by a cat, or someone else secretly opened the cupboard and then ate it, after opening the lock, he doesn’t need to close the lock. Schrodinger’s cat loves to eat cats. Food, I think even if we take this second bowl of cat food to look around the castle, in the end no cat will come to eat it. In the end you will remind us again that there can be no odor in the castle, and then put this Take the bowl of cat food. That means…in the end, this bowl of cat food is yours anyway. You love it.”
Fu Wenduo took the cat food from Li Miaomiao and handed it to the middle-aged butler. His dark eyes were bottomless, and he whispered, “Do you want to eat?”
The middle-aged housekeeper took the cat food, held it in both hands, and slowly raised his head to look at the five players in front of him.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and shouted in a stiff and unpleasant voice: “Meow.”
“Ding Dong! Successfully completed the side quest ‘Find Schrodinger’s Cat’. Trigger the main quest ‘Schrödinger’s hide-and-seek’.”
A crisp child’s voice sounded throughout the castle, but it stopped suddenly after just saying this. The players were still waiting for the black tower’s text, and suddenly there was no sound. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo both glanced at each other strangely.
Zhao Xiaofei said blankly, “Trigger the main quest…and then it’s gone?”
Tang Mo waited for a long time, then he looked at the housekeeper: “What should we do now?”
The middle-aged butler in this castle looks like the Black Tower BOSS, who can start the Black Tower game. If nothing else, the middle-aged butler should serve as the boss in this tower attack game. This time, however, the middle-aged butler did answer. He held the stinky cat food, stared at Tang Mo with those dead fish eyes, and said in a mechanical voice, “Miaomiao, meow, meow.”
Tang Mo: “…”
Everyone: “…”
It’s impossible for Jakes to believe this thing is a cat!
No matter how the player asked, the only answer left by the middle-aged butler was “meow”. The two female players were searching in the castle. Since it was a game of hide and seek, they must be looking for something. Gray didn’t seem to want to move. He stayed in the kitchen with the little black cat in his arms, poured himself a glass of water very spontaneously, and stood gracefully by the window, admiring the towering steel forest outside the fortress.
Tang Mo walked over: “Mr. Grea.”
Grea turned around and looked at Tang Mo with a fixed gaze. After a while, he smiled and said, “My lady, how can I help you?”
“where are you from?”
Grea asked back, “Where are you from?”
Tang Mo’s expression was calm: “Before the earth went online, where did you live, what districts in Huaxia?”
Greya stared at Tang Mo closely, and after a few seconds, he answered earnestly, “I live in your heart.”
Tang Mo: “…”
“If I were to ask you, where do you live, Mr. Grea?” A low and magnetic male voice sounded from the side. Fu Wenduo leaned against the wall and calmly looked at the tall, thin, pale blond half-blood. Although he was smiling, his eyes were not Very cold. He asked, “So…you also live in my heart?”
Grea smiled: “No, I only live in this lady’s heart. In other words, this lady has always lived in my heart, and I am fascinated by him. If my heart can be divided into three parts, there must be one. It belongs to you. But unfortunately, I always choose the more important thing, so…” He stroked the little black cat and looked at Tang Mo again: “My lady, you always live in my heart.”
Fu Wenduo stared silently at the blond man in front of him, and he slowly raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a deep smile.
Zhao Xiaofei and Li Miaomiao walked into the kitchen: “I didn’t find anything strange.”
Li Miaomiao came over and said, “you also go to the castle to find it. This is the first time I have encountered such a strange tower attacking game. I only told the name, not any rules of the game, nor any hints, telling us what to do. How to do it.”
Fu Wenduo: “Heita gave a hint. The hide-and-seek game is divided into two main bodies, one is the person who hides, and the other is the person who is looking for someone. In this game, it is obvious that we belong to the person who is looking for someone. So now All you need to find is the one who is hiding.”
It was the first time that Li Miaomiao heard Fu Wenduo say so much, and she looked at Fu Wenduo in surprise.
All members of the Tianxuan Organization know the name Fu Wenduo. In other words, no one in the whole of Beijing, the whole of China, and even the players around the world does not know this name. But they never had contact with Fu Wenduo.
God chooses.
Six months ago, Fu Wenduo was about to leave Beijing. Li Miaomiao followed Ruan Wangshu and Qi Heng to stop Fu Wenduo and wanted to bring him into the organization. This man is silent and powerful, and his moves are deadly. He never fights to win, but to kill people. This is a different player from them. They are all stowaways, but they don’t have the murderous smell of Fu Wenduo.
Ruan Wangshu said that Fu Wen probably killed many more people than they put together.
Li Miaomiao originally thought that Fu Wenduo in the team was the kind of person who didn’t like to talk and obeyed orders, just like practicing Yu Zheng. Every time they challenge the black tower game, they rarely practice Yu Zheng. Usually, Ruan Wangshu formulates strategies and practice Yu Zheng silently. Originally, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were like this, why did Fu Wenduo suddenly start talking?
Li Miaomiao looked at Tang Mo without knowing why, and saw Tang Mo’s expression was calm, as if he knew something.
…probably their strategy.
Li Miaomiao thought to herself.
In fact, she didn’t know that Tang Mo was very calm on the surface, but he was full of confusion in his heart. Tang Mo had long discovered that this hide-and-seek game was for them to find someone, but countless guesses flashed through his mind, as if he was about to figure out the truth, but he never caught the light.
Fu Wenduo already knew?
Fu Wenduo continued: “As long as we know who the hiding person is, the game should be able to start normally. Besides, maybe we can directly catch the hiding person and the game can end immediately.” After a pause, He looked at Tang Mo and his tone softened a little: “The game of hide and seek has a nickname, it’s called peekaboo.”
Fu Wenduo’s tone was so soft that no one noticed his change.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other. In an instant, Tang Mo understood what Fu Wenduo meant. The answer surprised him, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable, and even a little… funny. Tang Mo has long known that his thinking has always been very rational. Fu Wenduo always says a lot of things that seem whimsical, and his thinking is very open, but he is not guessing out of thin air, and he can guess right most of the time.
But the answer this time really made Tang Mo laugh and cry.
Fu Wenduo turned around and faced Greia, who was standing by the window, holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile. He said lightly: “Schrödinger’s cat is not a cat, but a person. In Schrödinger’s hide-and-seek game, the person looking for is the player, and the person who hides can only be Schrödinger. The cat is not a cat, but a person. So Schrödinger is who?”
After a few seconds, Li Miaomiao said in surprise: “So you are not Schrödinger’s cat, you are Schrödinger!”
Li Miaomiao had long guessed that Greya was Schrödinger’s cat, but unfortunately she guessed wrong. It’s not unreasonable that it is Schrödinger to replace Greya now. The woman who dared to love her intuitively sensed not Schrödinger’s cat, but Schrödinger himself.
Hearing Li Miaomiao’s words, even the middle-aged housekeeper who was squatting in the corner of the kitchen and licking cat food all the time raised his head and looked at Greya.
Greya was watched by the four players and the middle-aged butler. He was stunned for a few seconds, then he blinked and pointed at himself with a smile: “So, now I am Schrödinger?”
Zhao Xiaofei thought: “Are you called Greer Schrodinger? Or Schrodinger Greer?”
Grea: “My name is Grea Sykes.”
The two female players did not believe his words.
Li Miaomiao asked the housekeeper, “Is he Schrödinger?”
Middle-aged housekeeper: “Meow.”
Grea is very innocent: “My ladies, I’m really not Schrödinger.”
Li Miaomiao looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo’s calm expressions and chose to believe them. She said firmly: “You are not Schrödinger, but there are only five of us and that Schrödinger’s cat in the entire castle. Who else is there besides you?” Li Miaomiao glanced at Zhao Xiaofei quietly, but turned her head. Compared with Zhao Xiaofei, she felt that Greya was Schrödinger. Because Grea inexplicably has a strange temperament that is different from other players. This temperament is strange, but he is real.
In simpler terms, the first time they saw Grea, they felt that he was different from other players. Not sure where the difference is, but it must be different.
Grea raised her hand, and the short staff hit the ground with a rhythmic clack. He was about to refute again when a voice sounded: “Victor didn’t say he was Schrödinger.”
Li Miaomiao was stunned.
Greya smiled and turned her head to look at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stared at Greja, he leaned slightly and looked at Schrödinger firmly: “Dear Schrödinger, now you can tell us how to start the main game ‘Schrödinger’s hide-and-seek’? Or, If we just grab you right now, it’s game over? That’s the easiest tower attack game I’ve ever experienced.”
