Truth Clock!

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walk at the front of the group with flashlights, followed closely by the other three.

Schrödinger's steel fortress consists of an even corridor of steel. The silver-colored copper walls coalesce into one, and not a single gap can be found. On either side of these corridors, a small, imperceptible door or two appears from time to time. The doors were integrated with the walls, and the doorknobs were inconspicuous. The five of them walked very slowly to prevent them from missing any of the doors.

When the first door was opened, Tang Mo stood at the back and Fu Wenduo walked to the door.

Rule #6: Schrödinger's room may contain Schrödinger's inventions. There are successful inventions, and there are failed inventions.

Tang Mo: "Be careful."

Fu Wenduo nodded his head.

At this point, they no longer hide the fact that they know each other.

The tacit cooperation during the attack on the old man, and the unanimous action in the face of Schrödinger, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's relationship is obvious, they definitely know each other, and should be teammates. Tang Mo's choice to reveal his teammate relationship with Fu Wenduo is actually hiding Li Miaomiao's identity.

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaofei and Grea weren't surprised by Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's relationship, but they didn't think much of Li Miaomiao either.

Fu Wenduo got ready and quickly opened the door. The door was empty, and the crowd breathed a sigh of relief. As they stepped into the room, the blue footprints began to disappear from the edge of the door. There was no hiding place in the room, and they immediately walked out and back into the corridor to continue their search for the other rooms.

Tang Mo soon realizes that all of Schrödinger's rooms look exactly the same.

No furniture, no extra layout, just a room made of steel. All six sides are silver steel, there are no windows, and you can basically see everything in the room at a glance.

Zhao Xiaofei: "There's nothing in these rooms. We've looked in four rooms, and there are 108 Schrödinger rooms in total. Not surprisingly, I think all the other rooms are the same, and we can find out if there is a Schrödinger in the room at a glance. if we really come across a room with 'Schrödinger's inventions', we just have to hurry up and close the door, and we should have no problem."

Li Miaomiao nodded, "So all we really have to do in this game is simply find Schrödinger and more rooms?" As she says this, Li Miaomiao quietly glances at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, who don't give her a reaction, and Li Miaomiao glances away in frustration, and after mentally reciting Ruan Wangshu and practicing Yu Zheng once more, she says, "There are a total of three chances to find the Schrödinger! There are a total of three chances to find Schrödinger. Now that it's the first time, let's just familiarize ourselves with the terrain and find as many rooms as possible."

Li Miaomiao's proposal was unanimously endorsed by all.

After leaving the kitchen, the five chose to enter the diagonal corridor, and when they reached the end of this corridor, they found another very similar diagonal corridor. This time, Tang Mo ponders for a moment and again chooses a diagonally oriented corridor. Every ten meters for the next few minutes, they found one or three diagonal corridors, each with one to three rooms spread out.

The five players were walking as if they were walking down a curved serpentine corridor, and they kept swaying from side to side. When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they hit a wall. At this point there were three corridors placed in front of the players, to the left, to the right, or to choose another diagonal corridor.

Zhao Xiaofei looked strangely at the wall in front of her, then at the three corridors beside her, and she said, "Do you guys feel that this scene is very familiar?"

The player's memory is so much better than it was before Earth came online. Every corridor walk in Steel Fortress is exactly the same length, and it's hard to notice the difference except for the length and direction of the corridor.

Yet now this is a scene that everyone has seen before.

Li Miaomiao looked down at the footprints on the floor and, after making sure there were no blue footprints on the floor, said, "This place is especially similar to the kitchen where we entered the hallway at the beginning!"

Yes, these three corridors, together with the fourth corridor where the player is staying, are exactly the same as the "Water and Refraction" corridor formed in the kitchen.

It's all one horizontal, straight corridor, with two diagonally oriented corridors shooting in from the left and right. The four corridors converge to a point into a four-way intersection. The only difference was that this time there were no doors in the walls of the straight corridors, just simply four corridors.

Zhao Xiaofei suddenly widened his eyes, "Wait, in fact, every corridor we just walked through is particularly similar to this one! When we were walking just now, we also kept running into a combination of one straight corridor and two slanted corridors, and we chose to take the slanted corridor every time. If we draw a map of the route we just took, it probably ...... looks like this?"

Zhao Xiaofei took out a lipstick from her bosom - no one would have expected her to carry such a thing around at a time like this - and drew first a rectangle on the ground, then a curved folding line starting from one of the vertices of the rectangle. This fold line seemed like an electrocardiogram, filling the entire rectangle. Inside this figure, numerous "water and refraction" corridors appeared, exactly the same as the route they had just taken.

When the drawing was finished, Li Miaomiao also realized something. However, she soon thought, "No, this fold line doesn't start from the apex of the rectangle, each intersection of the corridors will have two corridors, or four corridors, I've never seen three corridors."

If the folding line starts at the apex of the rectangle, it creates a scene where the "three corridors" meet.

Zhao Xiaofei froze.

Tang Mo's voice was calm, "Flip this picture around and put it back together."

Zhao Xiaofei's eyes twirled and realized what Tang Mo meant. She drew another mirror-symmetrical rectangle with her lipstick right next to the one she had just drawn. When the rectangle was finished, Tang Mo squatted down, stretched out her hand, and erased the straight line in the middle of the two rectangles.

When Tang Mo had done this, the five looked down.

It was a well-defined rectangle, and in the center margin of the rectangle, there was a single diamond-shaped pattern. As if the weavers had braided out the patterns, the diamond-shaped patterns were tightly connected one to another, laying flat in a row and filling the entire rectangle. Looking at this map, all the players instantly understood the map of this layer of the Iron Fortress.

Li Miaomiao surprised us by saying, "If the corridors are really like this, we can easily find out which rooms we actually looked in and which ones we didn't."

Grea laughed, "My lady, it's not that simple. First of all you don't really know if this map is correct, and secondly where do we start from and what point on the map is that kitchen located ...... do you know?"

Li Miaomiao was speechless for a moment.

"A total of twenty-one rhombuses went by just now." A low male voice rang out.

Grea froze slightly and turned his head to look. He saw Fu Wenduo with his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at the map on the ground. He raised his eyes and coldly swept Grea a glance. Grea smiled innocently and said, "Well, that's twenty-one diamond shapes. So where are we on this map again now?"

Tang Mo points to the ground with a small Yang San, "Here, or here." He points to the intersection of the corridors on the two short sides of the rectangle.

Grea's eyes flicked over Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's, and the corners of her mouth quirked up without another word.

Li Miaomiao : "Although we don't know if this map is correct or not, our top priority is to determine the distribution of corridors and rooms on this floor. So ...... where should we go now?"

A moment later, Tang Mo said, "Go this way."

Tang Mo refers to the other side of the diamond-shaped corridor.

Li Miaomiao looked at everyone, "Okay, I also think we should walk through these rhombuses again and finish the other side of the rhombus. That way we can also make sure the map is correct."

The five players turned back again and entered the diagonally oriented corridor. As shown on the map, they had once again entered a curved, zigzag corridor. And at the intersection of the four diagonal corridors, Tang Mo shines his flashlight on the other two corridors and finds a single blue footprint - they had walked through the diagonal corridor on the other side.

All the scenes confirm Fu Wenduo's and Tang Mo's speculations.

The map of this floor was a rectangle with one neatly arranged diamond-shaped corridor in the center. Everything was going according to the map they had guessed, and both female players were a bit happy. Tang Mo, however, frowned slightly, and his expression became even more grave when he opened a door and found another empty room inside.

Li Miaomiao also realized, "We seem to have searched for almost fifty rooms, and every room is empty? The Black Tower said that the rooms might contain Schrödinger's inventions. There are 108 rooms in total, and we haven't come across a single one yet. ......" After a pause, Li Miaomiao thought, "Is it because Schrödinger's inventions are few? are Schrödinger's inventions few and far between?"

The Black Tower only says that the room could possibly contain Schrödinger's inventions, it doesn't say how many inventions Schrödinger has, nor does it say that there will definitely be inventions.

This probability does not always exist. Until you open the door to a room, no one knows if there is an invention in it. Maybe there are inventions in all 108 rooms, or maybe there are none in all 108 rooms.

Tang Mo lowered her head, always feeling that something was wrong.

The Schrödinger has a personality that is very different from its appearance. With its bad character that loathes human beings and wants to turn all of them into collector's items, it is unlikely to be kind enough not to let the invention in the room. But Tang Mo doesn't show this concern, because he and Fu Wenduo are the ones who open the door.

Tang Mo looks up and locks eyes with Fu Wenduo, and the two of them walk to the next room.

As luck would have it, there was again nothing inside when the door was opened.

Zhao Xiaofei also muttered, "Is it really Schrödinger's invention rarely?"

The five walked down two more corridors, and when they found room 61, Fu Wenduo walked up to the door and placed his hand lightly on the handle. With a creak, the steel door was pushed open. With no sign of trouble, Fu Wenduo cautiously stepped inside, followed by the other three men. But just after the last person entered, numerous black lights shot out frantically from the side of the room. Tang Mo reacts quickly and dodges them, escaping the room. Grea also dodged quickly. Fu Wenduo, being the last one to come out, was scratched by the light along with Li Miaomiao, and the sound of burning came from the place where they were hit by the light.

After the black light ray grazed the skin, it immediately turned into a black wound, and the flesh and blood were corroded and expanded. Fu Wenduo took out his dagger on the spur of the moment and cut away the flesh he had been touched by the light. Li Miaomiao also cut off a piece of his thigh. Zhao Xiaofei was the most serious, with four wounds on his body, one of which was also on his chest.

Once she realized that the wound had actually begun to corrode the flesh next to it, the young woman gritted her teeth and took out a pocket knife to cut four chunks of her own flesh off.

The door had been closed, but the horrific scene from earlier still lingered 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-la-la-la."

Suddenly, a pleasant and cheerful humming sound rang out from the empty steel corridor. The soft and sticky milky cat voice was humming a ditty with no lyrics. The crowd all froze. Tang Mo reached up and wiped away the thin sweat on his forehead, then he raised his head and looked coldly at the little black cat hidden in the steel fortress through these cold steel walls.

After Zhao Xiaofei stopped bleeding, the group continued to search for the next room.

Schrödinger continued to sing, and after half a day when no one paid any attention to his song, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, hey, don't you bad, shameless humans have anything you want to say to His Excellency, the Honorable Schrödinger?"

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo walk at the front of the group, open a door without changing their faces, see that there is nothing inside, and then turn away again. Grea followed them gracefully with her short staff. Zhao Xiaofei, on the other hand, blushed as the piece of flesh she had cut away was one side of her breast. It wasn't just the physical pain that irritated her more. But no one of her four teammates said anything, and she couldn't speak.

For the first time, Zhao Xiaofei hated cats so much that she wanted to chop Schrödinger into four pieces, just like the flesh she had just cut off with her own hands. But being influenced by Tang Mo and others, she didn't say anything.

Anger and whining are pointless and only add to Schrödinger's complacency.

"You ...... you stupid bad humans!!!"

The little milk cat angrily complained that the humans in this session were not qualified at all, no one died under its 315 invention even if it was, but it was actually not even angry. Tang Mo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Schrödinger, as if seeing the scene, surprised him by saying, "Eh, are you going to scold the Honorable Schrödinger? Are you so angry that you are going to scold the Honorable Schrödinger?"

It was answered by Tang Mo's raised flashlight, illuminating the path before him.

Tang Mo : "There's a staircase here."

The crowd immediately gathered around.

Li Miaomiao : "Is this the staircase to the other floor? The Black Tower said that the Iron Fortress has two floors, so we can get to the other floor through this staircase?"

Zhao Xiaofei : "This must be it. So do we go down now, or keep looking for a room on this floor?"

Schrödinger: "......"

The soft voice said angrily, "Don't you have anything to say to the Honorable Schrödinger!"

Tang Mo : "Keep looking for this floor first."

"Good."

Completely ignored Schrödinger : "......"

You guys are the worst class of humans I've ever seen!!!!

The little black cat's whining stops abruptly, Tang Mo seems to completely ignore Schrödinger's presence, but in fact he is secretly calculating: Schrödinger can observe everything they do here and knows their whereabouts.

I'm afraid this little black cat has been in a room somewhere, watching their every move.

After the lesson of the black ray room, the crowd was more cautious when re-entering the room. But many times there is no defense. Until all five people entered the room, there would not be any difference in the room. Sometimes even when only Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo entered the room alone, there would be accidents. But until they walk in, absolutely nothing will happen. It is only when they enter the room that accidents occur.

On this floor, they found a total of eighty-six rooms.

When they reached 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 exclaimed, "Eh? There's another staircase here?

A dark staircase appeared in front of the crowd.

This staircase was already located at the end of the corridor, and after Tang Mo's five people checked the rooms next to them, they unanimously decided to go down this staircase to have a look. Following this rotating staircase, the five of them arrived at another floor. Just as they stood still, they saw a small door.

Tang Mo walks up to the door and presses the knob.

A male voice with a smirk rang out, "You can't always strain a lady."

Tang Mo turned to the blonde man.

The tall, thin blonde hybrid removes his bowler hat and gives Tang Mo a small smile. Grea stepped forward and said, "It's time to go to the other floor, so let me, a gentleman, do it for you for such hard work."

Tang Mo didn't let go.

Grea looked at him in surprise.

Tang Mo: "No, Mr. Grea."

At Tang Mo's guarded look, Grea blinks in aggravation and walks back with her short cane. Tang Mo holds onto little Yang San and opens the door with a snap. It is empty again, but Tang Mo does not let his guard down. He stepped into the room alone, ready to observe its contents. Just as he stepped in, a familiar yet unfamiliar clattering sound rang out. Tang Mo reacted extremely quickly, pulling the door of the room with one hand and quickly pumping his foot, trying to close the door behind him.

However, time seemed to stand still as a blinding blue light instantly illuminated the entire room and corridor. This light wrapped all the players, including the four Fu Wenduo standing outside the door, in it with absolute speed. When Tang Mo opened his eyes again, he turned his head to see that all five players had entered the room.

Tang Mo drew his little Yang San straight away, ready to attack. He looked at all the objects in the room, and his eyes widened when he saw something like that in front of him. Tang Mo looked at it with disbelief, his pupils fluttering gently.

It was a huge blue clock!

The blue light made up every number of the clock and its hour hand, minute hand, and second hand, and its second hand clattered along, and the clattering sound Tang Mo heard just now was the sound of the second hand clattering along. Every number on this clock was familiar to Tang Mo, because he had once stood on this clock and played a life and death match with another player.

The other players also saw the clock, Zhao Xiaofei turned around and tried to run out of the room, but she realized that her feet were nailed to the ground in a deadlock, unable to move. The terrifying pressure was like a small mountain, slamming heavily on the shoulders of the five players, the weaker ones, Zhao Xiaofei and Li Miaomiao, even breathed heavier and were crushed to the point that they couldn't breathe.

On the Truth Clock, the second hand was still moving. When the three hands converged on the same point, they pointed to "12".

Knock!

A loud bell suddenly rang out.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

After the twelve loud and ear-splitting chimes, a calm and powerful female voice rang out in the room, "Welcome to the world of the Truth Clock. I am the great Truth Clock, chiming the time accurately for the great Mr. Schrödinger. Schrödinger's Time Sandwich 3156th Era, Day 134, 0:0:0:0, Black Tower Intruder Fu Wenduo , Tang Mo , Zhao Xiaofei , Li Miaomiao , Grea Sykes enshrined in the world of the Truth Clock."

"Honor all truth."

"Follow all truth."

"Be the truth, or break the truth."

"Five Black Tower intruders, what are your choices?"
