This statement is not a truth at all!
"Grea , what do you ...... mean." The latter half of the sentence didn't come out, and Li Miaomiao snapped her mouth shut. Any word that could be a question could be answered by the Truth Clock as a question. She glanced fearfully at the blue clock suspended in the air, and said with gritted teeth, "The question you asked, is of no use."
Grea took off her bowler hat with one hand and said seriously, "My lady, this is a question that has been bothering me for many years." After a pause, with sincere eyes, "I'm asking this question from the bottom of my heart."
Li Miaomiao: "......"
I'm going to fuck you from the bottom of my heart!
If Li Miaomiao could move her feet right now, or if she could beat Grea, she had no doubt that she'd put the asshole who wasted the opportunity to ask a question on the ground!
They only had a total of five chances. The first question was wasted because they were tricked by the Truth Clock. The second question was again pitted against them by the Black Tower, and it was a waste of time. The third question was answered subtly by the Truth Clock, which did explain what the Fallacy Compass was, but did not reveal a single piece of information about the Transparent Man.
With only two questions left, Grea actually asked Truth Clock how he was going to make the big bucks?
Why the hell don't you just ask the truth clock how to get rich overnight?
Not only Li Miaomiao, other players also stared coldly at Grea. the gentleman in crimson dress felt very innocent, he smiled helplessly, the crowd thought that he was going to say something to explain, but no one expected that he actually turned around and bowed to the truth clock, "Thank you for answering my question, great truth clock. "
Crowd: "......"
Truth Clock: "......"
A moment later, Truth Clock, "...... You're welcome."
Tang Mo's eyes darted back and forth between Grea and Truth Clock as he slowly raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. He mentally replayed what Truth Clock had just said. Tang Mo's reaction was not as big as Li Miaomiao's, because he could probably guess what kind of questions Li Miaomiao and Zhao Xiaofei wanted to ask.
Li Miaomiao muttered in a low voice, "Wasting this kind of opportunity, now well, there's only one question right left." Li Miaomiao still held an attitude of incomplete trust towards Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, after all, she was a member of the Chosen. She trusted Ruan Wangshu unconditionally, but it was impossible for her to trust Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo, even though they had more experience in raiding the Black Tower. The current situation worried her greatly, but she tried not to show it.
Li Miaomiao just complained in a small voice, but Grea didn't expect to hear it.
"My lady, are you trying to get me to ask questions that don't seem to have the right answers?"
Grea suddenly utters a question, and the bodies of all the players in the room instantly tighten. The questions in their heads immediately disappeared, and Tang Mo looked at the Truth Clock warily. But this time, the Truth Clock doesn't react, perhaps it's not interested in Grea's strange behavior, and will no longer use it to count on the players.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Miaomiao held her tongue for half a day before spitting out one word: "Right." She doesn't dare to talk like Grea.
Grea laughs, "For example, what do you feel about me, which color of flower do you prefer; if you were to end the Black Tower game right now and leave Schrödinger's steel forest and you wanted to eat, what would you choose to eat?"
Li Miaomiao was a bit surprised and didn't say anything.
Grea guessed right.
Li Miaomiao would like to ask two types of questions, the first is a direct question about what is the way to pass this game on the truth clock, and the second is a question about some subjective type of answer. There is no right answer to any question that has anything to do with emotions. This second Li Miaomiao likes blue flowers, a year later she might like red flowers. When she used to be asked by Qi Heng what she wanted to eat, she used to say whatever, and that was really whatever. Because she didn't really want to eat something, too obsessed with wanting every single thing.
Even Li Miaomiao herself can't answer this question, and she believes that the Truth Clock can't tell her the right answer either. She believes that the Truth Clock can't tell her the right answer either, because if it tells her any of them, Li Miaomiao will be able to find out what she doesn't like about it, what she doesn't want to eat, and negate it.
Grea : "You think too simply of the great truth clock. Such a question is to it only one of the meaningless of the endless truths."
Zhao Xiaofei couldn't help but say, "Then you shouldn't ask you this kind of question and then waste an opportunity!"
Grea looked ashamed, "Are you angry?"
Zhao Xiaofei didn't react for a moment, "Huh?"
"Making a lady angry is my greatest fault. Though I don't think asking questions that are unsolvable by humans is going to be hard on the Truth Clock. My dear LADY, do any humans know what the Black Tower really is?" Without waiting for an answer, Grea said, "No humans know. You may ask questions that are currently unsolvable by humans, but this clock must know them all. It knows more than you can imagine. For it is the great Clock of Truth! Wasting questions on these unnecessary questions, it is better to ask ...... how I can make a lot of money. Don't you think so, Great Truth Clock?"
Truth Clock blushed at the compliment, speechless at the odd human.
Zhao Xiaofei's face flushed red. Because Grea had guessed all her thoughts.
Li Miaomiao is thinking of asking subjective questions, and Zhao Xiaofei is thinking of asking famous human unsolved problems, or paradoxes.
Ask the Truth Clock, for example, how to answer Goldbach's Conjecture, whether the Grand Unified Equation of the Universe is real, and what it is. But Zhao Xiaofei ignores that human beings can't even explain the Black Tower, so what makes her think that the Truth Clock's knowledge of the universe is within the realm of human beings. The existence of the Black Tower has long exceeded the limits of human civilization, and so has the Truth Clock. Questions she found impossible to answer were child's play to Truth Clock.
Tang Mo looked at Zhao Xiaofei's depressed expression. His thoughts were the same as Grea's, that the Truth Clock might actually be able to answer these puzzles that humans couldn't solve. But it was likely to be shielded by the Black Tower when it spoke its answers.
Anyway, they only have one chance left anyway.
Li Miaomiao anxiously winked at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, but they didn't even look at her.
All eyes are on Fu Wenduo. This tall, handsome man is straight, staring down at the huge clock in front of him. His gaze was firm and his demeanor was calm. The two female players racked their brains to figure out what questions they could ask that would make the Truth Clock fail to answer, or answer incorrectly. Grea, leaning on his short staff, looks on in amusement.
Tang Mo, on the other hand, doesn't have a hint of panic in his demeanor.
In the silence of the room, they heard a low male voice ring out, "My question is, what do you ...... have to do to become a truth clock?"
"Splat--"
The long second hand on the large, bluish clock dial suddenly stopped moving.
The two female players were instantly stunned in place, looking at Fu Wenduo in dismay.
Tang Mo slowly curled the corners of her mouth.
Fu Wenduo gazed calmly at the huge bell in front of him.
A booming bell sounded, and the female voice that had been so calm suddenly erupted into an angry roar, "Black Tower intruder, I don't know what you're talking about. I am the Great Truth Clock, your question is meaningless, you are deceiving me!"
Fu Wenduo: "Is that your answer?"
Truth Clock stuttered, "You ......!"
"Dingdong! Wrong answer as detected by the Black Tower."
For the first time, the Black Tower helped the players without puddling them by refuting the words of the Truth Clock. The crowd revealed expressions of delight when they heard the Black Tower's voice. What the players were more willing to believe than this so-called Truth Clock was the Black Tower. This world is the Black Tower world, even s Schrödinger was forced by the Black Tower to play the game with the players. So ......
Li Miaomiao decisively said, "You're not a truth clock at all!"
The female voice roared angrily, "I am the Great Truth Clock. In the 138th Era, His Excellency, the Great Schrödinger, accepted Queen Hong Tao's commission to create me, the Great Truth Clock, as a gift for Queen Hong Tao's 100th birthday. I am the Truth Clock, the only Truth Clock in the world of the Black Tower, and I represent all the truths in the world ......"
"If you are a gift to Queen Hong Tao, then why are you here?"
The voice of the Truth Clock stops abruptly and it "looks" at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stood behind Fu Wenduo and said, word for word: "If you were a gift from the Queen of Hong Tao, you would be in the Queen of Hong Tao's jeweled castle right now, not in Schrödinger's steel forest. Schrödinger's 108 rooms house its inventions. You should know that there are successes and failures in these inventions." The voice stops and Tang Mo looks up at the large clock in front of him that no longer moves, "You are the Truth Clock, but you are the Truth Clock of Failure. I didn't notice anything wrong with you the first time I saw you, because you were so much like the Truth Clock. I've seen it before."
Except for Fu Wenduo, no one else knew that Tang Mo had seen the real truth clock.
Tang Mo: "That clock looks exactly like you, every number on the clock, every hand, there is no difference between you. The tone of your voice and your attitude toward the truth are all the same. But I always feel as if there is something different about you, but I can't find it for a moment. You really are too much alike."
Truth Clock could no longer contain himself as he roared, "I am Truth Clock!"
Fu Wenduo : "Truth means something that exists objectively and is absolutely correct. These words are yours."
Truth Clock: "Yeah, that's what I said, and everything I said is the truth!"
Fu Wenduo gave a low chuckle, "But the first moment you saw us, the first words you said, that was no longer the truth."
The hands of the Truth Clock trembled violently as it recalled exactly what it had said. On the other side, Li Miaomiao was also thinking hard. Suddenly, Zhao Xiaofei exclaimed: "Welcome to the world of the Truth Clock. I am the great Truth Clock, accurately telling the time for the great Mr. Schrödinger....... It says this? This sentence, this sentence ......"
Zhao Xiaofei exclaimed, "Ah! That statement is not the truth at all!"
