FU - weakly - sniff snatch.

Under the reddish-bronze moonlight, a small black cat lay on Grea's shoulder, lifting its large transparent green eyes to look at the human in front of it.

There was dead silence in the kitchen.

Li Miaomiao slowly opened her mouth, and Zhao Xiaofei looked incredulously at the little black cat that was lying on top of Grea, or had been pestering Grea for four hours.

Grea laughs, "The theory that Schrödinger's cat is a person, therefore Schrödinger is a cat ...... seems to make sense then."

Tang Mo: "Since you are not a Schrödinger, it doesn't matter if we catch you now." As the words fell out, Tang Mo did not give the little black cat a chance to answer, and directly grabbed at it. In the blink of an eye, the little black cat stomped its hind legs and leapt from Grea's shoulder, a black shadow flashed, and the little black cat flew to the head of the middle-aged Guan Jia. Its movements were so fast, faster than Tang Mo's, that even Fu Wenduo could not catch it.

The small black cat sat on top of Guan Jia's head, looking down at the five players in the kitchen. Its pink nose twitched and Schrödinger let out a soft hum, opening its mouth, "Hmph, you stupid humans!"

Tang Mo: "......"

Fu Wenduo: "......"

Crowd: "......"

Schrödinger didn't notice the players' strange expressions, it wagged its tail and continued, "You greedy, shameless and hateful humans, you entered my steel forest without permission, and actually dared to break into my steel fortress! That's how humans are, without my permission, coveting my treasures, always coming in in groups to steal."

The little black cat was so small that it could walk in circles above the middle-aged Guan Jia's head. As it strides along on its short legs, it mumbles something about cursing all the treasure-stealing subterraneans to become big bugs. It was five minutes before Schrödinger stopped. The little black cat stared at the group of odd-faced players with rolled green eyes, "What are you doing!"

A low laugh rang out.

Grea couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone in the kitchen looked at him in unison, and the pale blonde foreigner smiled a wide, unabashed smile.

Schrödinger exploded, "No laughing!"

The soft, sticky voice echoed through the kitchen for a long time.

Tang Mo didn t think it was so funny, just weird. A strutting little ...... Schrödinger actually speaks in this sweet, soft voice. Tang Mo has never owned a cat and doesn't come into contact with them much. What he remembers about cat calls is that every spring, the sound of a cat in love would often ring out from the downstairs of the university dormitory. It does sound a bit like a baby's cry, but it's not as sweet and sticky as Schrödinger's voice.

The voice that says "stupid humans" and curses all humans to death is not something that players can relate to, but rather it's very funny.

Grea laughed for a moment, "Well, not anymore."

Schrödinger: "......"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Schrödinger : "And you laugh!!!"

The little black cat exploded all over: ''Damn Black Tower, why did you send this kind of asshole over here as well. I'll never be able to communicate with a species with a low IQ, this is an insult to my intelligence! What kind of a damn game did the Black Tower release?"

Middle-aged Guan Jia licked his cat food: "Meow."

Schrödinger sounded a little surprised, "A game of hide and seek?" A moment later, it bounces twice in delight, "Oh yes, my favorite game of hide and seek!" It looked up, "Well, you damned humans, hurry up and start our game of hide and seek. As long as you find me, you can have one of my inventions. If you guys haven't found me after three rounds of the game ......"

A huge dark cloud drifted in from the sky, covering half the moon. Reddish-bronze moonlight shone through the window, illuminating half of the little black cat's face. With an eerie red glint in her big green eyes, Schrödinger fumed in a sweet, sticky voice, "I want you to become my collection!"

Tang Mo: "......"

Fu Wenduo: "......"

Crowd: "......"

Schrödinger : "...... You guys are not allowed to laugh!!!"

Grea laughed again quite disrespectfully.

The little black cat was so angry that he snapped at Grea and scolded him over and over again. But any words that come out of his mouth become pettiness. While they are arguing, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo look at each other and instantly rise up. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, attacked and grabbed the little black cat sitting on top of Guan Jia's head. However, the little black cat is actually prepared for the attack. The middle-aged Guan Jia suddenly throws away the cat food and jumps back to avoid Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's attack.

When the Tang Mo duo was ready to charge again, Schrödinger stood up straight and slapped his paw against the kitchen wall.

"Rumble--"

Violent sounds resounded throughout the steel forest. The earth trembled as if there had been an earthquake, the ceiling shook, the floor shook. All the dishes and pots in the kitchen fell out of the cupboards, crackling and scattering all over the place. Immediately afterward, a mechanical arm reached out from all corners of the wall and swept the scraps into the trash can. Countless steel hard plates were hidden inside the walls. They folded out and wrapped around the walls, floor, and ceiling with a thud.

In the blink of an eye, the kitchen was transformed into a fortress of pure steel.

Middle-aged Guan Jia, holding a small black cat in one hand, stood in the doorway of the kitchen, looking expressionlessly at the five humans in front of him. The little black cat's sweet voice mixed with an impish laugh crashed back and forth between the steel walls, creating an echo, "You stupid humans, wait until you become my collection, hahahaha!"

Before the words even left his mouth, the middle-aged Guan Jia turned around and jumped into a dark steel chute with the little black cat in his arms. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo wanted to chase after him, but the steel chute was closed as soon as they ran in. The ground was still shaking, the kitchen seemed to be moved by something, and there was a creaking sound of steel rubbing together in the castle.

Five minutes later, it was finally over.

Tang Mo The five stood in the copper-walled steel room and looked at each other. They waited for a while, not waiting for any movement. Fu Wenduo nodded his head and walked to the doorway of the kitchen with extremely light footsteps. He pressed the door handle with one hand, and with a slight movement of his other hand, a pitch-black dagger appeared in his palm.

There was a click and the door was pulled open.

The crowd grabbed their weapons, wary of any enemies that might appear at any time. However, in the next second, a clear nursery rhyme rang in the ears of the crowd-

"La la la la, Schrödinger has a steel forest."

"La-la-la-la, Schrödinger has a steel fortress."

"La-la-la-la-la, Schrödinger's castle is inhabited by Schrödinger and his cat."

"Dingdong! Opening the main quest 'Schrödinger's Hide and Seek Game'."

"Rules of the game--"

"First, there are 108 rooms in Schrödinger's steel fortress, and Schrödinger is hiding in one of them."

"Secondly, the Iron Fortress is divided into two levels, and all rooms are open to the players, who are free to seek out Schrödinger."

"Third, the doors to the room are spread out on both sides of the corridor, and each player can only walk through the same corridor once. When a player walks through a particular corridor it leaves human footprints in the corridor, and corridors with human footprints are banned from re-entry."

"Fourth, there will be no human footprints in the room."

"Fifth, players have a total of three chances to find Schrödinger. Each time the game is lost, a ten-minute break is allowed."

"Sixth, Schrödinger's room is likely to contain Schrödinger's inventions. There are successful inventions and there are failed inventions."

"Seventh, look in all the rooms, you're bound to find Schrödinger."

"Eighth, if the player does not find Schrödinger after three rounds, Schrödinger wins and the players all become part of Schrödinger's collection. If a player finds Schrödinger, the game ends and the player wins. The player may make one request to Schrödinger that is within Schrödinger's power and may not be refused."

"Ninth, Schrödinger's Iron Fortress is situated in the crevices of time and cannot use any time-effect props."

"The great Herr Schrödinger wants to catch a little friend for his stew today, and which one is so lucky?"

In the darkened steel fortress, the Black Tower's loud voice ended, and the aftermath continued to reverberate between the steel walls. Tang Mo walked to the kitchen door and stood beside Fu Wenduo, observing the door. The castle had been completely different from what they had just seen; it had truly become a steel fortress, not a castle.

The paintings on the walls, the gold leaf on the pillars have all disappeared, the furniture is nowhere to be seen, and a dark corridor runs on both sides. There are no lights, and Tang Mo's vision is limited to five meters by the dim red moonlight. He turned on his flashlight to illuminate the corridor, and stopped when his eyes reached the kitchen door directly across from him.

Li Miaomiao The three of them also walked up and stood in the kitchen doorway and saw where Tang Mo's flashlight light was illuminating.

"What is this?!"

It's a strange four-way corridor.

Like the refraction of light on the surface of water, the corridor on Tang Mo's side is a horizontal straight line, like a level surface. A beam of light shines from the upper left and is refracted out. The path of this light becomes two corridors. If the five Tang Mo's want to leave from the kitchen doorway and look for Schrödinger, they have a total of four ways to go. To the left, to the right, and to the two strange corridors in front of them.

Tang Mo looks down at the ground.

They were currently standing in the kitchen, which was the room. This castle had completely changed, and the layout was very different from before. If they took a step forward, they were considered to have entered the corridor. Entering the corridor would leave human footprints, and there was no turning back.

Tang Mo thought for a moment and stepped forward to stand in the middle of the four forks.

The game had to start eventually, and the remaining four stepped forward and entered the corridor together. Fu Wenduo raises his foot and a glowing blue footprint appears on the bottom of his foot.

Li Miaomiao : "This is the human footprint. Wherever we have walked, we cannot walk again."

Everyone lifted their feet up, and as expected, all of them had blue footprints under their soles. Li Miaomiao pondered which path to choose to move forward, when a voice rang out, "Wait, I've found a way to pass this game."

Zhao Xiaofei couldn't hide his excitement: "It's very simple! The Black Tower says we can't go back where we've been, so we can't go back. When we look for Schrödinger, we'll probably miss some rooms and won't be able to find them. But we can split up! There are five of us, and at this fork in the road, for example, there are four corridors. Each of us chooses a corridor, and we look for as many rooms as we can, since the corridors that have been traveled will leave footprints anyway. When there's nowhere else to go, we stop where we are and wait for our teammates to finish. That's a sure way to find Schrödinger."

Upon hearing this, Li Miaomiao said, "That makes sense. Let's split up into four groups and find Schrödinger. The rules of the game say that there may be Schrödinger's inventions in the rooms, so I guess there will be penalties in some of the rooms. In that case, our weakest and strongest players stay in one group, and the other players each choose a path?"

As he spoke, Li Miaomiao quietly looked at Tang Mo for advice.

Tang Mo's brows tightened and he bowed his head in silence. Li Miaomiao gave him half a day's worth of signals, but Tang Mo did not respond. She was a bit anxious and was about to say more when Tang Mo looked up and said, "We can try it first, but it shouldn't be that simple."

"I'm teaming up with him." Grea smiles and raises her hand, pointing at Tang Mo.

Li Miaomiao : "You ......?"

Grea winks, "I'm the weakest, he's the strongest."

Li Miaomiao: "......"

The weakest should be her and Zhao Xiaofei, Fu Wenduo is the strongest alright!

Before Li Miaomiao could open his mouth, a low male voice rang out, "I'm even weaker." With that, Fu Wenduo calmly stood next to Tang Mo, and even deliberately pulled his collar, looking very weak.

Li Miaomiao, who knows the identity of Fu Wenduo: "......"

Zhao Xiaofei, not yet blind: "......"

Can a man nowadays still be a bit responsible!

Tang Mo was fine with the grouping thing, and he naturally preferred to be grouped with Fu Wenduo. However, they didn't dwell on this matter for too long, because as the five were about to split up, they took a step in four directions together, and all five of them were stopped by an invisible wall.

"You brazen humans!" A soft, sticky voice echoed through the castle, "Shameless, shameless, shameless, shameless! Shame on you!!! I, the honorable Schrödinger, put down my stature to play games with you guys, and you guys actually want to split up and come after me. Shame on you, shame on you, a bunch of you bullying Schrödinger!"

The five are back to square one.

"Hmph, shameless humans, if you really want to split up, I won't disallow it. But I will release my most powerful invention. Hmph, you guys come to me, you'll definitely die in the room first! Die in the room! All of you, I swear!!!"

Tang Mo has long felt that this approach would not work. The rules of the game given by the Black Tower seemed to treat the players as a whole, a game between humans and Schrödinger. If it were that simple, it would be unfair to Schrödinger.

So the five players can only move in and out together, not separately.

In the corridor, Schrödinger is still repeating the word "shameless" over and over again. Li Miaomiao pretends not to hear the sticky voice of the kitten, but says, "So we can't split up, so we have to choose a path. ......Which path?" She was asking Tang Mo.

Tang Mo shines a flashlight down the corridors to the left and right, then down the two strange corridors.

"The corridors on either side of this should be a straight line, very long, at least a hundred meters long each, judging by the reflection of the light. The two in front of us aren't long, maybe ten meters each. Straight corridors are usually simpler and don't change much. Let's take the other two first. Pick one." The voices stopped, and Tang Mo looked to Fu Wenduo.

Tang Mo never believed in himself when it came to luck.

Fu Wenduo took the flashlight and walked toward the slanted corridor on the right: "This one."

The five men entered the corridor on the right diagonal side in turn.

Accompanied by the background sound of "shameless", the five players walked into the long corridor one after another. The reddish-bronze moonlight shone on the cold steel fortress, reflecting a cold light.
