The Earth is Online - Chapter 156
[Chapter 156]
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walked at the front of the team with flashlights, and the other three followed closely behind them.
Schrödinger’s steel fortress consists of uniform steel corridors. The silver copper wall and the iron wall were condensed into one, and there was no gap to be found. On both sides of the corridors, there will be one or two imperceptible small doors from time to time. The door and the wall are integrated, the doorknob is inconspicuous, and the five people walk slowly to prevent missing any door.
When the first door was opened, Tang Mo stood behind and Fu Wenduo walked to the door.
The sixth rule of the game: Schrödinger’s room may contain Schrödinger’s inventions. There are successful inventions and there are failed inventions.
Tang Mo: “Be careful.”
Fu Wenduo nodded.
At this time, the two no longer hide the fact that they know each other.
The tacit cooperation when attacking the underground old man before, and the unanimous action when facing Schrödinger, the relationship between Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo is clear, the two absolutely know each other, and they should be teammates. Tang Mo chose to expose the relationship between himself and Fu Wenduo’s teammates, but he was actually hiding Li Miaomiao’s identity.
Sure enough, Zhao Xiaofei and Grea were not surprised by the relationship between Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, but they didn’t think about Li Miaomiao either.
Fu Wenduo got ready and quickly opened the door. The door was empty, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they entered the room, blue footprints began to disappear from the edge of the door. There wasn’t any place to hide in this room, they immediately walked out, went back to the corridor, and continued to search for other rooms.
Soon Tang Mo discovered that all of Schrodinger’s rooms looked exactly the same.
No furniture, no redundant layout, just a room made of steel. It’s made of silver steel on six sides and has no windows, so you can basically see everything in the room at a glance.
Zhao Xiaofei: “There is nothing in these rooms. We have found four rooms, and Schrödinger has a total of 108 rooms. Not surprisingly, I think other rooms are like this, and you can see at a glance whether there is Schrödinger in the room. If If we really come across a room with ‘Schrödinger’s invention’, we should just close the door quickly and there should be no problem.”
Li Miaomiao nodded and said, “So what we really need to do in this game is to simply find Schrödinger and find more rooms?” When she said this, Li Miaomiao quietly glanced at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. The two did not respond to her, so Li Miaomiao pouted her lips dejectedly, and after reciting Ruan Wangshu and Yu Zheng’s goodness again in her heart, she said, “There are three opportunities to find Schrödinger in total. Now is the first time, we will first Get familiar with the terrain and find as many rooms as possible.”
Li Miaomiao’s suggestion was unanimously agreed by everyone.
After leaving the kitchen, the five people chose to enter the inclined corridor. When they reached the end of this corridor, they found a very similar inclined corridor. This time, Tang Mo pondered for a moment and chose a diagonal corridor again. Then every ten meters, they will find one or three sloping corridors, each with one to three rooms.
The five players seem to be walking a curved serpentine corridor, and they keep swaying from side to side. When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they encountered a wall. At this time, there are three corridors in front of the player, go left, right, or choose another inclined corridor.
Zhao Xiaofei looked at the wall in front of her strangely, and then looked at the three corridors next to it, she said, “Do you think this scene is very familiar?”
The player’s memory is much improved than before Earth went online. Every corridor in the steel fortress looks exactly the same, except for the length and direction of the corridors, it is difficult to find the difference.
However, everyone has seen this scene now.
Li Miaomiao looked down at the footprints on the ground. After confirming that there were no blue footprints on the ground, she said, “This place is very similar to the kitchen where we first entered the corridor!”
Yes, the three corridors in front of you, plus the fourth corridor where the player is staying, add up to the exact same “water and refraction” corridor formed by the kitchen.
It is a horizontal straight corridor, and two diagonal corridors are injected from the left and right directions. The four corridors converge into one point and become a fork in the road. The only difference is that there are no doors on the walls of the straight corridor this time, just four corridors.
Zhao Xiaofei suddenly widened his eyes: “Wait, in fact, every corridor we walked just now is very similar to this one! When we walked just now, we always encountered a combination of a straight corridor and two inclined corridors. The choice is to take the sloping corridor. If we draw a map of the route we just took, it is probably… like this?”
Zhao Xiaofei took out a lipstick from her arms – no one would have thought that she would carry such a thing with her at such a time. She first drew a rectangle on the ground, and then drew a curved line from one vertex of the rectangle. This polyline, like an electrocardiogram, fills the entire rectangle. There are countless “water and refraction” corridors in this graphic, the exact same route they have just taken.
After finishing the painting, Li Miaomiao also suddenly realized. However, she soon thought: “No, this polyline does not start from the vertex of the rectangle. Every intersection of the corridors will have two corridors, or four corridors, and I have never seen three corridors.”
If the polyline starts from the vertex of the rectangle, it will create a scene where “three corridors” meet.
Zhao Xiaofei was stunned.
Tang Mo’s voice was calm: “Flip this picture over and stitch it together.”
Zhao Xiaofei rolled her eyes and understood what Tang Mo meant. She stuck close to the rectangle just drawn, and drew another mirror-symmetrical rectangle with lipstick. When the rectangle was finished, Tang Mo crouched down, stretched out his hand, and wiped the straight line between the two rectangles.
When Tang Mo finished all this, the five looked down.
This is a neat rectangle with a diamond pattern in the central blank of the rectangle. Like a pattern woven by a textile worker, the diamond-shaped patterns are closely connected one by one, tiled in a row, filling the entire rectangle. Looking at this picture, all players instantly understood the map of this layer of steel fortress.
Li Miaomiao said in surprise: “If the corridor is really like this, we can easily find out which rooms we have looked for and which rooms we haven’t.”
Grea smiled: “My lady, it’s not that simple. First of all, you don’t know if this map is correct, and secondly, where do we start from, where on the map is that kitchen located… Do you know?”
Li Miaomiao was at a loss for words.
“A total of 21 diamonds have been walked just now.” A low male voice sounded.
Grea was stunned for a moment, then turned to look. I saw Fu Wenduo with his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at the map on the ground. He raised his eyes and glanced at Grea indifferently. Grea smiled innocently and said, “Okay, that’s twenty-one diamonds. So where are we on this map now?”
Tang Mo pointed at the ground with a small parasol: “Here, or here.” He was referring to the intersection of the corridor on the two short sides of the rectangle.
Greya’s eyes swiveled around Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn’t speak again.
Li Miaomiao: “Although we don’t know if this map is correct, our top priority is to determine the distribution of corridors and rooms on this floor. So… where should we go now?”
After a while, Tang Mo said, “Let’s go here.”
Tang Mo was referring to the other side of the diamond-shaped corridor.
Li Miaomiao glanced at everyone: “Okay, I also think we should walk through these diamonds again, and finish the other side of the diamonds. This will also confirm the correctness of the map.”
The five players turned around again and entered the diagonal corridor. Everything was as shown on the map, and they entered a crooked, broken-line corridor again. And at the intersection of the four inclined corridors, Tang Mo lit the other two corridors with a flashlight, and found blue footprints one after another—they had walked through the inclined corridor on the other side.
All the scenes confirmed the speculations of Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo.
The map on this floor is a rectangle with neatly arranged diamond-shaped corridors in the center. Everything developed according to the map they guessed, and the two female players were a little happy. But Tang Mo frowned slightly. When he opened a door and found an empty room inside, his expression became even more solemn.
Li Miaomiao also noticed: “We seem to have found almost 50 rooms, but each room is empty? Heita said that there may be Schrödinger’s invention in the room, there are 108 rooms in total, we have not yet I met one…” After a while, Li Miaomiao thought, “Is it a rare invention of Schrödinger?”
The Black Tower only said that there may be Schrödinger’s inventions in the room, but did not say how many inventions Schrödinger had, nor did it say that there would be inventions.
This probability does not necessarily exist. Before opening the door, no one knew whether there was an invention inside. Maybe there are inventions in all 108 rooms, or maybe none of the 108 rooms.
Tang Mo lowered his head, always feeling that something was wrong.
Schrödinger has a very different personality than his appearance. With its vile character of hating humans and wanting to turn all humans into collectibles, it is impossible to keep inventions in the room with good intentions. However, Tang Mo didn’t show this concern, because he and Fu Wenduo were the ones who opened the door.
Tang Mo raised his head and looked at Fu Wenduo before they walked to the next room.
Sure enough, after opening the door, there was nothing inside.
Zhao Xiaofei also muttered: “Is it true that Schrödinger’s inventions are rare?”
The five walked two more corridors. When they found the 61st room, Fu Wenduo walked to the door and put his hand on the handle lightly. With a creak, the steel door was pushed open. There was nothing unusual, Fu Wenduo entered the house vigilantly, and the other three followed. But just after the last person entered, countless black rays of light shot frantically from one side of the room. Tang Mo reacted very quickly and turned sideways to escape and escaped from the room. Grea also hid quickly. Because Fu Wenduo was the last person to come out, he and Li Miaomiao were scratched by the light, and the sizzling burning sound came from the place where they were hit by the light.
After the black light rubbed the skin, it immediately turned into a black wound, and the flesh was corroded and expanded. Fu Wenduo took out the dagger immediately and cut off the flesh that was touched by the light. Li Miaomiao also cut a piece of thigh meat. Zhao Xiaofei was the most serious, with four wounds on her body, one of which was still on her chest.
When she discovered that the wound had started to corrode the flesh and blood next to her, the young woman gritted her teeth and took out a knife to cut off four pieces of her own flesh.
The door has been closed, but the terrifying scene just now lingers in front of everyone’s eyes.
“La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la~”
Suddenly, a cheerful and cheerful humming sounded from the empty steel corridor. The soft and glutinous milk cat is humming a minor tune without lyrics. Everyone was stunned. Tang Mo stretched out his hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead. Then he raised his head and looked coldly at the little black cat hiding in the steel fortress through these icy steel walls.
After Zhao Xiaofei stopped bleeding, everyone continued to look for the next room.
Schrödinger continued to sing. After a long time, no one paid attention to its singing. He couldn’t help but say, “Hey, you shameless bad people, don’t you have anything to say to your honorable Lord Schrodinger?”
Tang Mo and Fu Wen snatched the front of the team, and opened a door without changing their faces. Seeing that there was nothing in the door, they turned and left. Grea leaned on a short staff and followed them gracefully. Zhao Xiaofei’s face was ugly, because the piece of flesh she cut off was one of her breasts. It wasn’t just physical pain, she was even more annoyed. But none of the four teammates spoke, and neither did she.
It was the first time that Zhao Xiaofei hated cats so much. She wanted to chop Schrödinger into four pieces, just like the flesh she had just cut with her own hands. But being influenced by Tang Mo and others, she didn’t speak.
Anger and complaining are pointless and only make Schrödinger even more complacent.
“You…you stupid bad people!!!”
The little milk cat angrily complained that this year’s human beings were not qualified at all, and no one died under its 315th invention, even if it was not angry. Tang Mo suddenly stopped, and Schrodinger seemed to see this scene, and said in surprise: “Hey, are you going to scold the distinguished Lord Schrodinger? You are very angry, are you going to scold the distinguished Lord Schrodinger?”
The one who answered it was Tang Mo’s raised flashlight, illuminating the road in front of him.
Tang Mo: “There is a staircase here.”
The crowd immediately gathered around.
Li Miaomiao: “Is this the staircase leading to another floor? The black tower said that there are two floors in the steel fortress. We can go to the other floor through this staircase?”
Zhao Xiaofei: “It must be this. So shall we go down now, or continue to look for a room on this floor?”
Schrodinger: “…”
The soft voice said angrily: “Don’t you have anything to say to Your Excellency Schrodinger!”
Tang Mo: “Continue to look for this floor first.”
“Okay.”
Schrödinger, who was completely ignored: “…”
You are the worst human race I have ever seen! ! !
The little black cat’s complaints came to an abrupt end. Tang Mo seemed to completely ignore Schrödinger’s existence, but in fact he was secretly calculating in his heart: Schrödinger could observe everything here and know their whereabouts.
This little black cat may have been in a certain room, watching their every move.
With the lessons of the black ray room, everyone will be more cautious when entering the room again. But most of the time it is impossible to prevent. There will be no difference in the room until all five people enter the room. Sometimes, even if only Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo entered the room alone, accidents would occur. But until they walk in, nothing will happen. Only when you enter the room will there be an accident.
On this floor, they found a total of eighty-six rooms.
As they approached the end of the diamond-shaped corridor, Tang Mo suddenly stopped and raised his flashlight. Li Miaomiao looked in the direction of Tang Mo’s finger and said in surprise, “Eh? There is still a staircase here?!”
A dark staircase appeared in front of everyone.
This stairway is already at the end of the corridor. After the five Tang Mo checked the rooms next to them, they unanimously decided to go down this stairway to have a look. Following this spiral staircase, the five people came to another floor. Just as they stood firm, they saw a small door.
Tang Mo walked to the door and held down the door handle.
A smiling male voice sounded: “You can’t always make ladies tired.”
Tang Mo turned to look at the blond man.
The tall and thin blond half-race took off his top hat and smiled at Tang Mo. Grea stepped forward and said, “It’s on the other floor. Let me, a gentleman, take care of such hard work.”
Tang Mo didn’t let go.
Grea looked at him in surprise.
Tang Mo: “No need, Mr. Grea.”
Seeing Tang Mo’s guarded expression, Greya blinked in grievance, leaning on her short staff and walking back. Tang Mo grabbed the small parasol and opened the door with a clatter. It was empty again, but Tang Mo didn’t let his guard down. He entered the room alone, ready to observe the contents. Just as his feet had just stepped in, a familiar and unfamiliar rattling sounded. Tang Mo’s reaction was very fast. He pulled the door with one hand, and quickly kicked his feet, trying to close the door.
However, time seemed to stand still, and a dazzling blue light instantly illuminated the entire room and corridor. This light enveloped all the players at absolute speed, including Fu Wenduo who was standing outside the door. When Tang Mo opened his eyes again, he turned his head and saw that all five players had entered the room.
Tang Mo directly pulled out the small parasol, ready to attack at any time. He observed everything in the room, and when he saw something like that in front of him, his eyes suddenly widened. Tang Mo looked at that thing in disbelief, his pupils trembling slightly.
That’s a giant blue clock!
The blue light composes every number of this clock and its hour, minute, and second hands. Its second hand is walking da-da. The da-da sound Tang Mo heard just now is the sound of the second hand walking. Every number on this clock is very familiar to Tang Mo, because he once stood on this clock and had a life-and-death match with another player.
The other players also saw the clock, Zhao Xiaofei turned around and wanted to run out of the room, but she found that her feet were pinned to the ground, unable to move. The terrifying pressure was like a hill, smashing heavily on the shoulders of the five players. Zhao Xiaofei and Li Miaomiao, who were a little weaker, even breathed more heavily, and they were overwhelmed.
On the truth clock, the second hand is still moving. When the three pointers converge to the same point, they point to “12” together.
Boom!
A loud bell suddenly rang.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After the loud and deafening twelve bells, a calm and powerful female voice rang in the room: “Welcome to the world of the truth clock. I am the great truth clock, which accurately tells the time for the great His Excellency Schrödinger. Schrödinger In the 3156th year, the 134th day, at 0:00:00, the black tower intruders Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo, Zhao Xiaofei, Li Miaomiao, and Grea Sykes were loaded into the world of the clock of truth.”
“Respect all truth.”
“Follow all truth.”
“Be the truth, or defeat the truth.”
“Five black tower intruders, what is your choice?”
