You live in my heart.
The old man stared at the two stowaways with a greedy gaze. His gaze was naked, and he smiled sinisterly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He looked exactly like the old beggar who had appeared three hours ago, and now looked at Fu Wenduo and Li Miaomiao with the same eyes.
"A stowaway can be traded for a bowl of cat food ...... It's a good deal."
The answer was a storm of players attacking him.
There were five players in the room, two of them were stowaways. Undoubtedly, these two stowaways would never take the initiative to go out and exchange themselves for cat food. Even if the five of them didn't know each other, three against two, trying to catch the two stowaways wouldn't necessarily be successful. What's more, Zhao Xiaofei vaguely perceived that the powerful and silent man seemed to be one of the stowaways.
Catching a fellow stowaway or killing the old man, the five men unanimously chose the latter.
However, none of them expected that this time the old man was much stronger than before. Moving even faster, the old man pulled out a thicker wooden stick from his dirt-covered chest, and as he slammed the stick against the black sharp object in Fu Wenduo's right hand, Fu Wenduo took a step backwards, shaking his shoulders.
Tang Mo saw this and realized, "He's gotten stronger."
The crowd dared not be more careless.
This time it took them ten minutes to subdue the old man. The old man was pierced through the heart with a Fu Wenduo's sword, and fell to the ground in a very funny position, twitching twice and stopping moving. Soon, his body turned into a small pile of ashes, and when the wind blew, they all scattered in the air.
Zhao Xiaofei exclaimed, "He turned himself into dust?!"
Yes, this time Tang Mo did not ignite the old beggar, the old man still turned into ash by himself. Tang Mo stared at the black puddle of ash on the ground, his eyes narrowed slightly. He walks up and picks up the old man's cat food from the ground. Tang Mo covers his nose without expression and hands the cat food to Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao froze.
After a moment, "...... you obviously took it all and gave it back to me?"
Tang Mo nodded and stepped between Fu Wenduo and Grea, becoming a passerby again.
Li Miaomiao: "......"
This is still not a man!
Li Miaomiao walks into the castle with a depressed look on her face, carrying cat food that looks like shit.
There are two reasons why Tang Mo gave the cat food to Li Miaomiao again. First, Li Miaomiao is more accustomed to this kind of flavor, and she was the one who took the cat food into the castle to look for cats the last time. Secondly, Li Miaomiao is the leader of the team. Tang Mo doesn't want to jeopardize the relationship that has been formed so easily.
The five men entered Schrödinger's castle in order, Guan Jia at the end, closing the door with a bang. In the darkness of the castle, the red moonlight cast into the room through the stained glass windows on the second floor, barely illuminating the room. Li Miaomiao carried the cat food and again intended to check the first floor before going to the second floor to look for the cat. Before she could enter the corridor, she was stopped by Tang Mo.
"Through here."
Li Miaomiao stops and turns to look in the direction of Tang Mo's finger.
It was a dark pathway, more like a passageway for underlings than any other corridor, without much in the way of gold decorations. Li Miaomiao glanced at Tang Mo and understood, "Whatever." With that, she walked into this corridor with cat food in hand.
The two female players softly shouted the kitten's voice, trying to attract out the mysterious cat. At the end of the corridor, Li Miaomiao planned to head back, she turned halfway around and looked up to see a small wooden door in front of her. Li Miaomiao's footsteps were stopped, and she instantly understood Tang Mo's meaning. The female doctor calmly looked at Tang Mo, then at Fu Wenduo.
Neither gave her any response.
Li Miaomiao muttered, "It's better to be the head and Sister Zheng," and then said, "This is the kitchen, isn't it? Let's go into the kitchen and take a look."
The middle-aged Guan Jia slowly raised his head and stared straight at Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao : "Can't we go in for the cat?"
Guan Jia's voice was mechanical: "Yes."
Guan Jia took out his key and unlocked the kitchen door. There was a steaming bowl of soup burning on the kitchen stove, and the smell was overwhelming. The smell and the black cat food in Li Miaomiao's hand blended together, and even Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little nauseous. The corner of Li Miaomiao's mouth twitched as she held the cat food and searched around the kitchen.
The crowd finally stopped at a locked cabinet.
Zhao Xiaofei : "Eh, that bowl of cat food was put in this cabinet before, right? Can you open it?"
Guan Jia, a middle-aged man, kept his head down and did not speak.
Li Miaomiao: "Can't open it?"
The middle-aged Guan Jia still looks down and doesn't say anything.
Both female players sensed that something was wrong and asked Guan Jia to open the cabinet. But Guan Jia didn't hear anything, as if the mute button had been pressed. It was as if he didn't react until the two female players said a certain keyword.
Tang Mo: "Can I force open the cabinet?"
Guan Jia remained silent.
Tang Mo hooked up her lips, "Since she didn't say anything, it seems that she has acquiesced."
Li Miaomiao's eyes widened, "Wait, you're going to force open the cabinet?"
As she said this, Fu Wenduo had already stepped forward, and his right index finger slightly moved, turning into a thin wire. Seeing this, Grea's eyeballs moved, revealing a strange smile. Fu Wenduo cupped the lock with one hand, and with his other hand, he pushed the wire into the lock hole and flicked it a few times. With a crisp click, Fu Wenduo removes the open lock.
The cabinet opened with a creak, and after everyone got a good look at what was in the cabinet, Li Miaomiao bristled and twisted her head to look at Guan Jia: "Where's the cat food in there?!"
Guan Jia actually looked up and replied, "It's poured."
When this came out, the crowd actually couldn't refute it. Guan Jia had said long ago that he couldn't keep such smelly things in the castle, and that he would take care of the cat food. It wasn't impossible to dump the cat food. However, the two women always felt that something was not right, and with their women's intuition, they sensed that things were not that simple.
Zhao Xiaofei asked tentatively, "Where did it go?"
Guan Jia repeats again, "Poured."
Li Miaomiao : "When did you pour it?" Cat food has a very strong odor, and Guan Jia taking it out of the cupboard and dumping it again should have been noticed by the players.
Guan Jia is still saying, "Down with it."
The crowd could do nothing with him, so Li Miaomiao simply followed Tang Mo's example and said angrily, "Can I forcefully beat you to make you tell the truth?"
This time Guan Jia raised his head and stared silently at Li Miaomiao: "It is forbidden to beat up any of Schrödinger's products."
Li Miaomiao: "......"
Shit, why don't you acquiesce this time!
"Are you all Schrödinger's goods?" A clear male voice rang out from behind Li Miaomiao. Tang Mo stood beside Fu Wenduo, even half a length back from Grea, and asked with a smile.
The middle-aged Guan Jia replied, "Yes. Everything in this fortress, except for the five guests, belongs to the Honorable Schrödinger."
"Including the old earthling guy who just showed up?"
The middle-aged Guan Jia's body lurched and bowed, "Yes."
Zhao Xiaofei's eyes widened as she remembered Li Miaomiao's earlier speculation. "Schrödinger's cat isn't necessarily really a cat, it could be a person, it could be something else. Could it be that ...... that cat is actually that underground person? That underground man isn't even a real underground man who can come back from the dead and turn himself into ash. He's Schrödinger's cat!"
"He's not." Fu Wenduo's voice is low, "Schrödinger's cat likes cat food. The cat won't trade cat food for stowaways because he doesn't need stowaways, he needs cat food."
Tang Mo : "And Schrödinger's cat is very clean. The old man of the Underground Man is not clean."
Grea let out a laugh as she watched the two of them sing in unison, stroking the fur of the little black cat in her arms as she said, "So now it's my turn to speak? Schrödinger only has one cat, and while that little cutie that came back from the dead might still be the same person, it might not count as a cat.My lady, to sum it up, that little friend is definitely not Schrödinger's cat."
Tang Mo swept Grea a glance and said calmly, "Eliminate all the impossible answers, and the one that remains at the end, no matter how unlikely, must be the correct answer."
Li Miaomiao pondered Tang Mo's words, and after a few seconds, she jerked her head up and looked at the middle-aged Guan Jia with his poker face.
Tang Mo : "Schrödinger only had one cat, and he was the only one in this fortress."
Fu Wenduo looked down at Tang Mo: "Schrödinger's cat is very clean."
Grea hugged the little black cat and raised her paw to scratch the air, "He's the only one who has a key to this cabinet."
Being stared at coldly by the five players, the middle-aged Guan Jia did not change his face, as if he had not been dismantled. He still had his head down, looking like he knew nothing.
Tang Mo: "If the cat did eat it, or if someone else opened the cupboard and ate it, he didn't need to close the lock after opening it. Schrödinger's cats love cat food, and I don't think that even if we went around the castle with this second bowl of cat food, none of the cats would eventually come up and eat it. At the end of the day you will remind us again that there can be no odors in the castle and remove the bowl of cat food. That means ...... no matter what, at the end of the day, this bowl of cat food will belong to you. You love to eat it."
Fu Wenduo took the cat food from Li Miaomiao's hand and handed it to the middle-aged Guan Jia. His dark eyes were deep and bottomless as he whispered, "Eat it?"
The middle-aged Guan Jia took the cat food and held it in both hands as he slowly raised his head to look at the five players in front of him.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and cried out in a stiff, hard voice, "Meow."
"Dingdong! Successfully completed side quest one 'Find Schrödinger's Cat'. Triggered main quest 'Schrödinger's Hide and Seek Game'."
The clear childish voice resounded throughout the castle, yet it only said this sentence before suddenly stopping. The players were still waiting for what the Black Tower would say, when suddenly there was no sound, and both Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other strangely.
Zhao Xiaofei said blankly, "Trigger the main quest ...... and then it's gone?"
Tang Mo waited for half a day, he looked at Guan Jia: "What should we do now?"
In this castle, only the middle-aged Guan Jia seems to be the Black Tower Boss, who can open the Black Tower game. If nothing else, the middle-aged Guan Jia should be the BOSS of this tower attack game, but this time the middle-aged Guan Jia did answer, holding the stinky cat food, staring at Tang Mo with those dead fish eyes, and reciting in a mechanical voice: "Meow, meow, meow."
Tang Mo: "......"
Crowd: "......"
This stuff goes out to the cats, Jacks can't believe it alright!
No matter what the players ask, the middle-aged Guan Jia's only answer is "meow". The two female players searched the castle, and since it was a hide-and-seek game, they must have been looking for something. Grea didn't seem to want to move, he stayed in the kitchen with his little black cat in his arms, poured himself a glass of water with great ease, and stood elegantly by the window, admiring the towering steel forest outside the fortress.
Tang Mo walks over, "Mr. Grea."
Grea turned and looked steadily at Tang Mo. after a while he smiled, "My lady, what can I do for you?"
"Where are you from?"
Grea asked back, "Where?"
Tang Mo looked calm: "Where did you live before Earth came online, what district in China?"
Grea gazed tightly at Tang Mo and after a few seconds he replied seriously, "I live in your heart."
Tang Mo: "......"
"If I were to ask you, where do you live, Mr. Grea?" A low, magnetic male voice rang out from the side, and Fu Wenduo leaned against the wall, staring calmly at the tall, thin, pale blonde mulatto with icy eyes, even though he was smiling. He asked, "So ...... you live in my heart too?"
Grea laughed, "No, I only live in this lady's heart. Or rather, this lady has always lived in my heart, and I am fascinated by him. If my heart could be divided into three parts, one would belong to you. However, unfortunately, I always choose the more important portion, so ......" He petted the little black cat and then looked at Tang Mo : "My lady, you have always lived in my heart."
Fu Wenduo stared silently at the blonde man in front of him as he slowly raised the corners of his mouth into a deep smile.
Zhao Xiaofei and Li Miaomiao walk into the kitchen, "Didn't find anything strange."
Li Miaomiao walked over, "You guys go look around the castle too. It's the first time I've come across such a strange tower attack game that only tells the name, doesn't tell any of the rules of the game, and doesn't give any hints on what to do."
Fu Wenduo : "The Black Tower gives hints. The game of hide-and-seek is divided into two main bodies, the one who hides and the one who finds. In this game, it's obvious that we belong to the finder. Then what we need to find now is the one who is hiding."
Li Miaomiao looked at Fu Wenduo in surprise as she heard him speak so many words for the first time.
In the Chosen Organization, all the members knew the name Fu Wenduo. Or rather, there was no one in Beijing, China, or even the whole world who didn't know this name. However, they have never come into contact with Fu Wenduo.
Chosen has it.
Half a year ago, Fu Wenduo was about to leave Beijing. Li Miaomiao, along with Ruan Wangshu and Qi Heng, stopped Fu Wenduo and tried to take him into the organization. This man is silent, powerful and deadly. His fights are never about winning, but about killing people. This is a different kind of player from the rest of them, they are all stowaways, but they don't have Fu Wenduo's murderous flavor.
Ruan Wangshu said, Fu Wenduo killed many more people than all of them put together.
Li Miaomiao originally thought that Fu Wenduo was one of those people in the team who didn't talk and followed orders, just like Yu Zheng, who rarely spoke whenever they challenged the Black Tower game, with Ruan Wangshu setting the strategy and Yu Zheng executing it silently. Originally, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo were like this, but now Fu Wenduo has suddenly started to talk?
Li Miaomiao looked at Tang Mo for an unknown reason, only to see that Tang Mo looked calm, as if she knew something.
...... is probably their strategy.
Li Miaomiao secretly thought.
In fact, she didn't realize that Tang Mo was very calm on the surface, but his heart was also full of confusion. Tang Mo had long ago realized that this hide-and-seek game was for them to find someone, but his mind had flashed through countless speculations, as if he was on the verge of figuring out that truth, but he had not been able to catch that aura.
Fu Wenduo already knows?
Fu Wenduo continued, "As long as we know who that hiding person is, the game should be able to start normally. Other than that, perhaps if we directly catch that person who is hiding, the game can also end immediately." After a pause, he looked towards Tang Mo and softened his tone slightly, "The game of hide-and-seek has a nickname, it's called hide-and-seek."
Fu Wenduo's tone of voice was so unobtrusive that no one noticed the change.
Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other, in an instant, Tang Mo understood what Fu Wenduo meant, this answer made him very surprised, but think carefully and feel in reason, even a little ...... funny. Tang Mo has long known that his own thinking has always been very rational, like to guess the conclusion based on the clues, and follow the clues, everything can be justified. Fu Wenduo, on the other hand, will always say a lot of seemingly whimsical things, thinking Zhang sex great, but also not out of thin air guessing, many times can be guessed right.
But this time, the answer really made Tang Mo laugh and cry.
Fu Wenduo turned to Grea, who was standing by the window, holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile, and said lightly, "Schrödinger's cat is not a cat, but a person. Schrödinger's cat is not a cat, but a person. Schrödinger's game of hide-and-seek, the one who looks for it is the player, and the one who hides from it can only be Schrödinger. the cat is not a cat, it is a person. So who is Schrödinger?"
After a few seconds, Li Miaomiao exclaimed, "So you're not Schrödinger's cat, you're Schrödinger!"
Li Miaomiao guessed that Grea was Schrödinger's cat, but she was wrong. Now that Grea is Schrödinger, it doesn't make any sense. It is not Schrödinger's cat, but Schrödinger himself that her female intuition has detected.
Upon hearing Li Miaomiao's words, even the middle-aged Guan Jia, who was crouching in the corner of the kitchen, licking cat food in small bites, raised his head and looked at Grea.
Grea froze for a few seconds as he was watched by all four players along with the middle-aged Guan Jia, then he blinked, smiled and pointed at himself, "So now I'm Schrödinger?"
Zhao Xiaofei thought, "Is your name Grea Schrödinger? or Schrödinger Grea?"
Grea: "My name is Grea Sykes."
Neither of the two female players believed him.
Li Miaomiao asked Guan Jia: "Is he a Schrödinger?"
Middle-aged Guan Jia: "Meow."
Grea was very innocent: "My ladies, I'm really not Schrödinger."
Li Miaomiao looked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's calm demeanor and chose to believe them. She said firmly, "You're not Schrödinger, but we're the only five players in the entire castle and that Schrödinger's cat. Who else is there besides you?" Li Miaomiao gave Zhao Xiaofei a quiet glance, but turned her head away. She thought Grea was the Schrödinger more than Zhao Xiaofei, because Grea had a strange, different aura from the other players. It was strange, but it was real.
To put it in simpler terms, the first moment they saw Grea they thought he was different from the other players. I don't know what was different, but it was definitely different.
Grea raised his hand and his short staff tapped on the ground with a rhythmic clatter. He was about to retort again when a voice rang out, "Victor didn't say he was Schrödinger."
Li Miaomiao froze.
Grea smiles and turns her head to Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stares at Grea, who bends down slightly and looks at Schrödinger: "Your honor, Mr. Schrödinger, can you now tell us how to start the main game 'Schrödinger's Hide and Seek'? How do we start it? Or if we just catch you now, the game will be over? Then this is the easiest tower attack game I've ever experienced."
