Smuggling across Europe

From the outside, Santa's Candy House looks like a tall house, but once you enter the front door, it's more spacious than Tang Mo imagined. Now the player has followed Santa through three rooms, each with a different kind of candy and dessert.

Three of the rooms were of the same size, the same dimensions, and this fourth and fifth room, did not differ much from the first three-they were still identical.

The doors of these two rooms are almost immediately adjacent to the walls on either side of the third room, because they are identical. Santa Claus stood in the center of the two doors, smiling at the players. The players looked at each other, not saying anything, but in their hearts they had their own calculations.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other, Tang Mo went to the left and Fu Wenduo went to the right.

Soon, the players split into two groups, standing in front of the doors of the rooms they wanted to enter. One team chose to enter the room on the left, and one team chose to enter the room on the right. Santa Claus had no problem with their choices, he stretched out his big hand and counted the number of players in each of the two teams: "One, two, three ...... Well, there are eight lovely children on the left."

There were nineteen players in total, so it was logical that if you counted out one side, you could directly calculate the number of people on the other side. But Santa looked like he was bad at math and counted the number of people on the right side again.

"...... Eight, nine. Huh, why are there two missing?"

Santa looked up for a moment and found the little girl and young woman standing in the middle of the two lines.

Santa Claus asked in surprise, "My dear children, did you not hear what Santa Claus just said? The underground man, Wang Guo, the most democratic Santa Claus of all, has decided to let you all vote on which room to enter first. Don't you want to vote?"

Mu Huixue clasped her arms in front of her, and when she heard that, she smiled brightly. "Must you join the vote?"

Santa froze.

"If I must choose, then I choose now." With those words on his lips, Mu Huixue didn't move.

Santa: "Well, if you don't want to choose, Santa won't force you. Because I am the most democratic Santa Claus." Touching his thick white beard, Santa helplessly put his hand into his pants|crotch, and fumbled a few times to find another key. He walked to the door of the room on the right and unlocked it.

One by one, the crowd entered the room.

Mu Huixue and Chen Shanshan were the last ones to enter the room because they were standing outside the group and were far away from the door of the room. Chen Shanshan entered the room and walked straight towards Fu Wen Sound, silently blending into the large group. Mu Huixue looked at the little girl's back, rubbed his chin, and did not make a sound.

Tang Mo had been quietly observing this woman, never letting his guard down. Seeing that Mu Huixue did not make any next move, he withdrew his gaze and observed the room.

"Congratulations, sweet children, you have chosen the most popular chocolate bean house in my candy house."

In the center of the large room was a five-meter-diameter giant inflatable bed, and Santa Claus stood beside it, bending down to pick up a large pile of colorful balls from the bed. These colored balls were as big as a person's fist, Santa opened his fingers and the colored balls fell from between his fingers, hitting each other and making a clattering sound.

"No child in this world can resist the temptation of colorful chocolate beans, and the best item sold in candy houses are these chocolate beans." Santa didn't give the chocolate beans to the players this time, he patiently explained how they were made, "...... Thanks to the great Herr Schrödinger for inventing the Chocolate Bean Machine, that's my second favorite invention, and only a little bit less practical than the Golden Toilet it makes. "

Confusing chocolate beans with a toilet, the crowd suddenly felt some sort of eerie odor permeating the room.

Tang Mo looked carefully at every corner of the room, and finally her eyes fell on these chocolate beans.

Except for the lack of an "M", these chocolates are exactly like an enlarged version of MM Beans.

After Santa's introduction, he was very stingy and didn't let the players touch the chocolate beans for a second before leading them towards the next room. As soon as they walked into the room, the players fell over. Not that they'd fall, given their fitness, Tang Mo stepped on the soft floor, and he discerned it carefully.

Tang Mo: "It's cotton candy."

Fu Wenduo : "The first room is a chocolate fountain, the second room is a glass candy ball, and the third room is strawberry ice cream, which are chocolate beans and marshmallows respectively."

The two men look at each other, and Tang Mo opens her mouth and speaks wordlessly.

"Where's the lollipop?

That's right, lollipops.

Who knows, in the previous game of True or False Store, from the very beginning Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had a natural advantage--

They know that Santa Claus runs a candy store.

Six months before the Cirque du Freak episode, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo, dressed as Mr. A and Mr. B, survived for seven days in the capital city of Wang Guo, the underground man. They intentionally walked through every street in Wang Guo's capital to gather information. Tang Mo once saw a store called "Santa's Candy House". The store had a huge colorful circle of lollipops printed on the sign, and many underground children came in and out of the store, making business very good.

Unfortunately, this kind of information is too trivial, so the two of them didn't tell Chen Shanshan and Fu Wen Sheng. Luckily, Fu Wen Sheng was assigned to the Tang Mo room, so all four of them were able to pass the level.

Any seemingly insignificant piece of information can be the difference between winning and losing a game.

Tang Mo never ignores a lead.

Lollipops are emblazoned by Santa on candy house signs, and Tang Mo doesn't think this one was done randomly. If a candy ...... appears in every room, where is the lollipop?

Santa was surrounded by players and didn't notice the eye contact between the two young players. He led the player door into the next door. This time it wasn't two rooms side by side, the sixth room was just a separate room like the first three. However the seventh and eighth rooms were again side by side.

Once again, Santa asked the players to choose, and this time a few more players abstained from voting.

The crowd enters the room on the left and then the right.

When the two rooms had all been visited, Santa Claus took the key and stood in the doorway of the ninth room. The huge door with a dome three meters high was actually only level with the top of his head in front of the giant-like Santa Claus. He turned to look at the nineteen players, his gaze loving and his voice thick: "Children, pleasant times are always so short, this is the last room."

The crowd's hearts tightened as they looked warily at the white-bearded old man.

Santa's face was written all over it, but no one would really think that this was an innocent and harmless old man. He was Santa Claus, who had never shown an ounce of malice towards the players from last year's Christmas Surprise Copy to the present day, but he would always be a Black Tower Monster.

『...... Santa Claus likes honest children? Santa Claus himself is very dishonest!"

Wang Xiaotian's gloating laughter in "Happy Quiz" rang in Fu Wenduo's head. He approached Tang Mo's ear and lowered his voice to say these words. Although Tang Mo had never thought of Santa Claus as a real friendly BOSS, after hearing this, he became even more wary of Santa Claus.

However, Fu Wenduo said, "This does not mean that Santa Claus wants to kill the player. Granny Wolf has malice towards the player and wants to eat the player. Schrödinger is neutral towards the player."

The world isn't black and white, and as of now, Santa doesn't seem to be a sinister and vicious Black Tower Boss.

Tang Mo nodded, "Observe again."

Santa used his scarce vocabulary to express his regrets about the short visit. "Children, how I would love to be with you forever, but unfortunately joy cannot be kept forever. Let Santa give you one last gift before entering the last room."

The looming, tall Santa unclasped the red gift bag from his waist, he furrowed his brow and reached halfway into the bag. "Ah, finally found it!" The white-bearded old man laughed, his face all wrinkled, only to see him pull out a crystal-like icing dice from the bag.

Under the brilliant light, this icing dice shimmered with a diamond-like light. There were six sides in total, with a number written on each side. Santa tied the bag back on, showing a rare hint of smugness as he laughed, "This is Santa's lucky dice."

"Every year on Christmas Eve, December 25, Santa Claus rides in his reindeer sleigh and delivers gifts to children. But there are so many children all over the world, and I have so many gifts. I am always at a loss as to which gift to give to which child. So the great Herr Schrödinger made this beautiful lucky dice just for me, praise be to Herr Schrödinger."

Santa said happily, "It's a magical dice that always finds the perfect gift for the children. Every time before I put a gift in a child's stocking, I throw it and it makes a selection and chooses the one that is full of love. Now, kids, I've decided to share this luck with you."

Santa held up the icing dice, "There are six numbers in all, the bigger the number, the more luck. Cast it, children, it's a lucky little game and my gift to you."

As the words fell from his lips, Santa flicked his wrist and tossed the icing dice into the sky. As the dice fell freely to the ground, lights penetrated it, illuminating a line of small golden letters in the air. At first the players didn't think it strange when they saw these words. The Black Tower never makes things difficult for the players when it comes to props; it tells them exactly what each prop does, except that the way they find the instructions for using it varies each time, and can be quite bizarre at times.

However, after reading these words, the players let out an intake of breath in unison. Everyone breathed in sharply, their gazes instantly blazing, and the air temperature skyrocketed.

Tang Mo's eyes widened and he subconsciously took half a step forward. Fu Wenduo Narrowed his eyes, his gaze locking onto the crystal clear dice.

Mu Huixue also let out a surprised "eek" as she spoke a quick Cantonese that no one could understand, and more carefully read the instructions for the dice from start to finish.

Chen Shanshan said in dismay, "Is this dice really that amazing?"

"With a thud, the dice fell to the ground, as if a seductive hand had seduced the players to come forward and pick it up.

"Yes, it is that magical." Santa laughed out loud, "Come on kids, this is Santa's last gift to you before you enter the last room!"
