A crying flower~

Side quest one was completed so easily. At the end of the time limit, the Tang Mo trio rushed into the glass flower room as fast as they could. Now that they had completed the quest, all three of them were a bit tired. After resting in place, calming their breathing, and waiting for their bodies to regain their composure, Tang Mo raised her head and looked around.

This is a dodecagonal glass flower room. A transparent dome covered the spacious and clean flower room, and golden sunlight shone through the glass, illuminating the flourishing flowers in the room. There was no one else in the quiet room, but it was as if you could hear the clear hoofbeats of birds.

It is silent and beautiful, Tang Mo After resting well, and discussing with the white-collar woman and the doll face, the three of them decided to split up and check out the situation of this flower room.

The flower room is filled with countless flowers, and although it is not a large room, it is densely planted with flowers. The flowers were all very tall, one red moonflower was as big as Tang Mo's face, and another petunia was the size of his palm.

The three split up and searched the entire glass bower.

The white-collar woman said, "I didn't find anything strange, this looks like a very ordinary flower room. In addition, I purposely went to look for the 'Lying Moon Flower'. We don't know what a Moon Flower looks like, but in this flower room, every flower is a flower that exists on Earth, not a Moon Flower. Of course, it's possible that the Moon Flower is an alias for some kind of flower in the World of the Black Tower, it's impossible to say for sure."

Tang Mo nodded, "I haven't found anything related to the name Moonflower either."

The white-collar woman looked to the doll-face.

The doll-faced youth was still smiling as he looked at Tang Mo and the white-collar woman, and when they both looked at him, he said, "I didn't find the Moon Flower either."

The white woman asked, "Did you look hard?"

Dollface froze and laughed, "Looked very hard."

The white-collar woman swept her eyes over him suspiciously, but didn't ask any questions. The baby-faced young man glanced at the white-collar woman, and quickly turned his gaze back to Tang Mo's. As if he saw something, the smile on his lips widened. As if he saw something, the smile on his lips grew even wider. He kept staring at Tang Mo with those meaningful and strange eyes, anyone else would have been made very uncomfortable by him, but Tang Mo lightly glanced at him, her expression remained unchanged, and she looked at the white-collar woman.

"We only have two hints. First, Moonflower loves to lie; second, it's called Moonflower." Tang Mo wouldn't just leave the white woman to make up her own mind about the tower game. He analyzes, "The lying clue doesn't feel useful at the moment, but the second clue looks useful. Whether the name Moonflower is an alias or a real name, we should have to guess why it's called Moonflower."

The white-collar woman thought for a moment, "Most likely, it looks like the moon."

Dollface interjected, "It likes to grow under the moon?"

Realizing that this doll face was actually involved in the discussion, Tang Mo gave him an extra look and nodded, "All are possible. There are generally three ways of naming flowers around the world. The first has to do with the flower's growth habit, such as the moonflower. It's called the Moon Season because it opens every month, blooms all year round, and is also known as the Monthly Red."

The white-collar woman said, "I think I've seen this one somewhere, too."

Tang Mo continues, "The second naming convention relates to the shape of the flower, such as the five-star flower. It has five well-defined petal corners, like a five-pointed star, so it's called a five-star flower. If the Moon Flower's nomenclature is the first two, it's very easy to find, or at least there's a trail to follow. If its nomenclature is the third, we have too few clues this time. The naming style of some flowers was decided based on some nebulous legends and stories, such as forget-me-nots and lingering flowers. These aside for now, now that the Black Tower hasn't given us any hints on how to find the flower, the Moon Flower's naming method shouldn't be the third kind, otherwise it would be almost impossible for us to find it."

It's a game and there are ways to pass and win.

In the absence of any clues, the three words "Moon Flower" are the only clues Tang Mo's trio have now. The fact that it is called the Moon Flower must have something to do with the flower itself, not because of those strange stories and legends.

The white-collar woman nodded approvingly.

A laughing voice rang out at this time, "You know a lot of flowers ah, used to be a flower store?"

Tang Mo looked towards the doll face and said lightly, "I've read some books." In the past, when Tang Mo worked at the library, he would read books in his spare time. He had read a lot of books, and his knowledge reserve would be a little more than an ordinary person, but it was definitely not comparable to Luo Feng Cheng.

Dollface said, "Oh," and added, "You've read so many books, what did you used to do?"

The white-collar woman finally couldn't help herself, "That's enough out of you, this time of the year is focused on the mission, this kind of useless nonsense will be talked about when the game is over. Right now our priority is to find the Moon Flower, do you have a clue?"

The doll-faced youth shrugged, "I don't know. He's read a lot of books, so maybe he knows." He points to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: "......"

Read a lot of books to find out what a moon flower is? What kind of logic is all this.

Tang Mo remembers a book-finding game he once played with Mosaic. In that game, Tang Mo and Mosaic pulled out tens of thousands of books from several bookshelves in order to find the book. There was a time limit on that game, and in the end Tang Mo didn't find the book by "searching through every book", but now there is no time limit on the game.

Tang Mo was going to propose that the three of them pick each of the flowers in this flower room. As long as the Moon Flower was among them, perhaps it could be counted as completing the side quest. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, the doll-faced youth suddenly reached out and blocked his hand in front of Tang Mo's face.

Tang Mo was shocked.

The smirk on the doll-faced youth's face narrowed slightly, and slowly he smiled again.

The white-collar woman frowned, "What are you doing?"

Tang Mo did not speak. The baby-face's movements are clearly preventing Tang Mo from speaking. Only to see him pull out a cell phone from his pocket. After the Earth went online, all the electronic devices could not be used, the cell phone could not access the Internet, could not make a call, could not send a text message, and at most could not check the time, it was not as light and fast as a watch. Tang Mo had long ago thrown away his dead cell phone.

I didn't realize that this baby-faced young man was actually carrying a cell phone with him. He opened his cell phone, clicked on the memo, and typed a line and handed it to Tang Mo.

[Don't move, that flower behind you just moved slightly.]

Tang Mo's eyes flashed.

The white woman also saw the line and her eyes widened in surprise, but she was smart enough to keep her mouth shut and not make a sound.

Tang Mo took Dollface's cell phone and typed, [Are you sure you saw the flower behind me move? I remember a bush of white roses behind me, I checked there just now and didn't find anything different].

Dollface typed quickly.

[It moved, the rhizome moved about six millimeters, I saw it.]

...... Six millimeters, he saw such a fine distance, and so please accurate.

The doll-faced young man's face was unchanging. He had found a strange flower that could very well be the Moon Flower, Tang Mo, but he couldn't see any excitement or triumph on his face, instead, he had an eerie feeling.

Tang Mo calmly typed, [I'm not moving, you two find a chance to grab the flower that moved. Maybe it is the Moon Flower.]

The white-collar woman glanced at the doll-face, and the two of them nodded gently. Tang Mo pretended to not notice anything as he spoke calmly, "Since the side quest is for us to find the Moon Flower, then ......"

Whoosh!

Right at this moment, White Collar Girl and Doll Face moved together. The two players who had reached the level of attacking the tower rushed behind Tang Mo with great speed, and in the blink of an eye, they grabbed a tall and strong giant white rose. The spikes on the rose's rhizome were unable to pierce their skin, and the two of them, with four hands, firmly grasped the rose. Then a mournful cry rang out through the glassed-in flower room--the

"Aaaaahhhh help!!! Stinky human player got me!!!"

Tang Mo suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he had time to react, he then heard a burst of mournful shouts, like mountains and seas, roaring towards them.

"What are these human players up to, are they trying to capture us for a dip!"

"I don't want it! I'm so good looking and I haven't given my pollen away yet, I don't want to be taken by humans for a bath, let alone for their tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thousands of flowers screamed like a roar in this small glass flower room. The flood of sound formed a bombardment in the ears of the three players, and with the strong physical qualities of the three players, all of them had their ears ringing from such a horrible sound.

The smile on the doll-faced youth's face completely disappeared for the first time, and he ruthlessly pinched the white rose with one force. Only a click was heard, and the long rose rhizome was directly snapped by him.

The flowers' screams suddenly stopped.

A second later, even more miserable cries rang out again.

"Aaaaahhhh he really is trying to pluck us for a dip!!!"

"It doesn't have to be a bath, it could be a tea, it could be made into a balm, into anything he wants to make!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I don't want it, I don't want to be plucked away from him!"

Tang Mo saw the situation directly stride forward, the white rose while crying for help, while the flower branch trembling from the hands of the doll-faced youth. The youth looked at Tang Mo, did not say anything, Tang Mo directly asked: "Are you the moon flower?"

The white rose's weeping stopped at once, and when it did not answer, the flowers around it spoke for it.

"Moonflower? Isn't it a white rose, when did it become that lying moon flower?"

"It's not a moon flower. The Moonflower has long since been moved elsewhere by Queen Hong Tao. It's a white rose, a white rose with a special glass heart."

Chattering voices clamored in the ears of the three, and Tang Mo seized on the key word: "Moonflower was moved by Queen Hong Tao?"

A giant peony the size of a face bowl poked its large bud in front of Tang Mo's eyes, its red petals gently trembling as it said, "Are you three humans looking for the Moon Flower?"

Such a huge flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, Tang Mo's face changed, soon he composed himself and said, "Yes, we are looking for the Moon Flower."

Big Peony said, "The moon flower is not here. I know all the flowers in the Glass Flower Room. The Moon Flower was sent away by Queen Hong Tao yesterday, and I heard that it was moved to her bedroom, and I also heard that it was moved to the Jeweled Corridor, and I also heard that it was given away by Queen Hong Tao. You will not find the Moon Flowers here."

The other flowers responded, "Yes, yes, yes, the moon flower is not here."

Tang Mo asks, "So how do we get to the Moonflower?"

The Great Peony shook his head for a while and said, "We've been in this glass flower house since we were seeds, and none of us know what the outside world is like or where the Moonflower really is. But when those two guards removed the Moonflower yesterday, they left from that spot."

The large peony stretched out its large green leaves and pointed to the trellis of vine flowers. "Those two guards left through that door, perhaps if you go out that way, you will find the Moonflower."

The white-collar woman walked to the flower stand. The wisteria on the shelf covered its petals with its leaves, gave a shy "ouch" and stepped aside. The curving branches and leaves of the wisteria spread out one layer at a time, revealing a small wooden door.

The white-collar woman turned around and said, "There is indeed a door here."

Tang Mo turned his head again to look at the giant peony. His gaze was calm as he looked at this peony that was so big that it was scary, as if he wanted to see if the other party was lying from its tightly packed petals.

The big peony seemed to be the leader of the glass flower house, it saw Tang Mo's thoughts and said, "In the glass flower house, only the moon flower loves to lie. We are all good flowers that don't lie. Yesterday, two guards did remove the Moon Flowers from here, right through that door."

Many flowers echoed the words of this peony.

Tang Mo looked at it for a moment.

The white-collar woman said, "It sure doesn't look like it's lying."

Tang Mo chimed in, "Yes, I think so too."

The doll-faced youth laughed again, "So now we're going to walk through that door to get to the Moonflower?"

The three of them discussed for a while (basically Tang Mo and the white-collar woman were discussing, with Dollface watching from the sidelines), and unanimously decided to leave the glass flower room and go in search of the real moon flower. Tang Mo looks at the broken white rose in her hand and wonders where to put it.

The white rose wailed and cried as it carefully said, "Can you ...... you stick me back into the dirt where I was just ......"

Tang Mo plunged the flower back into the soil where it had just been, right next to its half-broken rhizome.

Upon returning to the soil, this white rose wiggled with delight. It spread its leaves happily and kept poking its head up, as if trying to get more sunlight. But because it was broken in half, it was shorter than the other white roses beside it, and these white roses blocked its sunlight, so it only got a little bit of poor sunlight from the tops of its petals.

The white rose wailed again, and the few white roses around it reached out their leaves to comfort it.

Tang Mo The three of them turned towards the small door. The baby-faced youth stretched out his foot and tried to kick the door again, but Tang Mo stopped his leg with a handful of small Yang San.

He looks to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo: "There have been guards of Queen Hong Tao coming in and out of this place, let's not make too much noise so as not to attract unnecessary trouble."

The white-collar woman carefully pushed the door open to make sure there was no danger beyond it, and the three of them went through the small door and left the glass bower.

Two months ago, Tang Mo would never have believed that there could be such a big flower in the world that could even talk. Since the launch of Earth, he has experienced too many copies of the game and seen all kinds of game bosses, even Mario and Pinocchio, not to mention a group of flowers that can talk and cry.

Behind the trellis of vines and flowers was a narrow, narrow corridor.

This corridor was a bit similar to the previous tunnel, on the walls on both sides, there was a small fire pot hanging every ten meters, illuminating the entire corridor, only this time, the flames on the fire pot burned even more vigorously, illuminating the corridor as if it was daytime.

As he walked past the fire pits, Tang Mo's eyes remained fixed on the patterns of the fire pits. These patterns are similar to those on the previous tunnel fire pits, they look like random curves drawn by craftsmen, but there is always a strange sense of familiarity when you look at them.

Tang Mo watched for a while, and in his afterglow he suddenly realized that someone had been watching him.

He turned his head quickly to get a good look at the other man and said coldly, "Mr. Blues, what are you looking at?"

Knowing that Blues Wayne is a fake name, Tang Mo still says it without a blush, as if the baby-faced young man is really called that.

Dollface grinned, "Look at a funny thing."

Tang Mo let out an "Oh" and his voice was calm, "I'm something interesting?"

Dollface asked rhetorically, "Don't you think you're funny?"

Tang Mo gave him a fixed look and averted her eyes without answering his question.

The three continued on their way. The white-collar woman had long been disgusted with Doll Face, and she always stood at Tang Mo's side, keeping her distance from him. Now even Tang Mo walked far away from him, and Doll Face was the only one with his hands in his pockets, seemingly happy and smiling as he walked ahead.

Through this corridor, the three of them came to a dining room. A set of gilt cutlery was placed on the long table of the restaurant, and the white-collar woman carefully examined it and said, "There are still some meat dregs on the plate, and the knives and forks are still a little bit warm, so they should have been eaten not long ago. Be careful, there might be someone here."

The trio cautiously watched their surroundings, yet nothing strange happened until they left the restaurant.

Tang Mo closed the heavy white door tightly as he turned around and realized that the doll-faced youth was looking at himself again. Tang Mo's face slowly sank. This time the doll face s eyes were even more odd, as if, like he said, he was really looking at an interesting thing, because Tang Mo noticed that the gaze he looked at himself was not mixed with any other feelings, but only a ...... strange kind of anticipation and leap.

Tang Mo doesn't believe that this stranger whom he met for the first time has any special feelings for himself, because at the beginning, when the three met in the oil painting corridor, Dollface looked at himself with such eyes.

He must have seen something.

Tang Mo gripped the handle of Yang San's umbrella.

Queen Hong Tao's Jeweled Castle was so huge that the three of them walked for ten minutes without reaching the end and without meeting anyone. This time they passed through a large hall made of gold, the white-collar woman pushed open the back door of the hall, she was surprised "eek", "there is no light?"

After leaving the glass bower, every corridor and room that the three had traveled all the way through was lit up. Some were illuminated with flames, some with gems. The lighting tools were varied, but without exception, all of them illuminated this majestic and gorgeous castle with radiant splendor. Once again encountering an environment without light, the white-collar woman cautiously pulled out her flashlight. She illuminated the room to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary and turned her head, "It's an empty room, no problem." With that, she raised her steps and walked in.

Dollface followed her in.

Tang Mo turned on his own flashlight and was the last one to enter the room while he closed the door. The moment he had just closed the door behind him, a fast wind sound invaded from above his head. Tang Mo reacted very quickly and took two steps backward, but this thing was even faster, and the cold pointed object slashed through Tang Mo's chest with force. From his left shoulder to his right abdomen, Tang Mo's clothes were cut through by the sharp object.

The thing was just too sharp, and it was only when it cut through that a tiny bead of blood oozed out along the tiny wound. The wound was not deep, as Tang Mo dodged it and only scratched the skin. However, the wound was too long and soon stained the clothes on Tang Mo's chest, making it look very scary.

In the darkened room, the white woman hurriedly turned on her flashlight to illuminate the object in front of Tang Mo.

"Panther!" The white-collar woman exclaimed.

At the sound of her voice, the black cheetah lying beside the door hissed, stomped on all fours, and rushed towards Tang Mo, who was the closest to her. her front paws were stained with some red blood, which was the mark caused by her slashing through Tang Mo's chest just now. Tang Mo lifted up the small Yang San and quickly recited a spell. Yang San opens up and stands in front of the panther, which slaps it with a paw.

The force was far beyond Tang Mo's expectation, and Tang Mo was knocked backward a meter by its terrifying claw.

The white-collar woman said anxiously, "It's too powerful, we're no match for it. There's the door, run!"

The white-collar woman said shining the flashlight's light back as she hurriedly ran for the door on the other side of the direction. Doll face looked at Tang Mo and let out a smile, he also twisted his head to follow, and fled away with the white collar woman. Tang Mo was at the end of the trio, he didn't have time to care about the white-collar woman's words at this moment, he turned around and intended to leave this room with his companions, at this moment, only to hear the black panther roar angrily, it opened its bloody mouth, a dazzling white flame shot out from its mouth.

Tang Mo's eyes widened in dismay.

No one could have imagined that this very ordinary-looking black panther could actually breathe fire!

It all happened in the blink of an eye, both White Collar Woman and Doll Face saw the fire, but they had already run to the door, White Collar Woman's hand pressed on the doorknob. Only Tang Mo he was closest to the panther and could barely dodge the sudden attack of flames.

Yet for just a second, the white-collar woman's eyes blinked softly, and the doll-faced man with his hands in his pockets watched with interest as Tang Mo was about to be engulfed in flames.

It was this second that the white-collar woman finished blinking this one time, and the corners of her doll-faced mouth just ticked up.

The youth's figure instantly appeared here behind the black panther, Tang Mo lifted the small Yang San and ruthlessly stabbed into the back of the black panther's head. The white flames disappeared in an instant, and the black panther hissed in pain and fell to the ground. Thick blood quickly spread out from underneath it, flowing down to Tang Mo's feet.

After resolving the black panther, Tang Mo walked over to the white-collar woman and the doll face with an icy expression and said, "I don't know what this black panther is about, and now that it's dead, it's best for us to hurry up and get out of here."

The white-collar woman looked at him in shock, "You, how did you just ......" Her voice trailed off and she didn't ask.

Tang Mo opens the door, "Let's go."

The white-collar woman looked at Tang Mo with complicated eyes, she did not ask more questions and walked out of the room.

That was Tang Mo s prop ...... or psychic ability, in any case, they were only a temporary team, Tang Mo did not need to tell her the way she instantly moved and killed that black panther just now. It s just that she looked at Tang Mo with a bit more vigilance and caution in her eyes.

Tang Mo and the white-collar woman leave the room and realize that Dollface actually didn't follow them out.

The white-collar woman turned around and said, "What's wrong?"

Dollface's figure was shrouded in darkness, and the two could only see his feet, not his expression. After a long time, the doll face walked out of the dark room, he smiled, "It's nothing. That black panther appeared out of nowhere just now, got a little startled, keep walking?"

Not a word of truth comes out of this man's mouth.

The white-collar woman didn't believe that he would be scared by that black panther, with this man's level of neurosis, it was her and Tang Mo who had been receiving each other's scares along the way. The white-collar woman coldly swept him a glance, the doll face still had the same smiling look.

Tang Mo narrowed her eyes at his disgusting smile.

...... is not the same as before.

He was still laughing, but it didn't feel the same as he had laughed before.

Doll face seemed to notice Tang Mo's gaze, he turned his head to look at Tang Mo. both of them exchanged glances, neither of them said anything.

Soon, the three of them passed through the room. With the Panther's surprise attack earlier, the white-collar woman was more cautious this time when leaving the room. She opened the door and quickly jumped back a step to make sure there was no surprise attack before carefully looking inside. Her eyes carefully scrutinized every corner of the next room, and finally her eyes suddenly stopped and stared straight ahead.

"Isn't that a moon flower?!"

Tang Mo and Dollface both walk over.

Behind this door (Tang Mo had already walked through countless doors by now), there was a long, dimly lit corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor were painted with a beautiful mural of angels using special paints. The roof of this corridor was glass, and the moonlight shone down through the glass roof, spreading on the murals, and those beautiful angels seemed to be painted with diamonds, glittering with light.

And at the end of this corridor was a small jeweled raised platform, a circular glass cover over it, enclosing the silver flower in the shape of a curved moon within it.

The hallway is just too long, and the flower isn't big enough for Tang Mo to look as hard as she can to barely make out its moon-shaped bud.

Dollface laughed, "Looks like a moon flower?"

Tang Mo affirms, "That must be the Moonflower."

The three looked at each other, and with the white-collar woman taking the lead and the doll-face padding behind, the three cautiously walked into this corridor. After the three of them entered the corridor, the door slammed shut. Tang Mo and the white-collar woman immediately looked at Dollface.

Dollface innocently said, "I didn't close the door hard, it closed itself."

The credibility of this statement was questionable, and Tang Mo and the white-collar woman remained coldly staring at each other. Doll face said helplessly, "It's rare to say something true, and you all don't believe it anymore."

Tang Mo withdrew her eyes and continued to walk towards the moon flower which was placed at the end of the corridor.

The white-collar woman said, "The side quest is asking us to 'find the moon flower that loves to lie'. If we were just asked to find it, then we would already be considered to have 'found it' by now. But the Black Tower doesn't prompt us to complete the quest ......"

"It's asking us to get that flower in our hands, which is really 'find the moon flower'." Tang Mo added.

Without delay, already here, the three hurried through the corridor towards the moonflower. Tang Mo's eyes traced over the murals of angels on both sides of the corridor. These murals were very similar to the murals of many church buildings, all of which were scenes of angels playing and having fun, except that the paint used to paint them was very special, reflecting diamond light under the moonlight.

Walking to the end of the corridor, the three of them were only about ten meters away from that moon flower.

From such a close distance, Tang Mo could clearly see that this graceful and beautiful silver flower was gently swaying in the moonlight. Perhaps it was the moonlight's original luster, or perhaps its unique color, its moon-like bud was blooming with layers of silver petals. It gently stretched its branches in the glass enclosure, and a layer of silver waves swirled on its dense petals. The moonlight shone through, making it look deceptive and beautiful.

The white-collar woman's breath caught a few quick breaths, and she quickened her steps to try to hurry up and pick up the flower, however, they had just reached a position ten meters in front of the flower, when a seductive, gentle voice rang out in the narrow corridor-

"Are you really coming over?"

The white woman stopped in her tracks.

Tang Mo looked at the flower with surprise and curiosity on her doll-faced face.

Through a layer of transparent glass, the silver-colored Moon Flower turned its beautiful bud towards the Tang Mo trio. Its inclusive and moving voice seemed like a feather that gently tickled across the hearts of the three. "O three poor humans, you have come this far and still haven't realized that thread on the ground."

Tang Mo immediately looked down. The white-collar woman and the doll-face also looked to the ground.

The three looked carefully for several moments before the white-collar woman said, "It's here!"

Tang Mo followed the direction of her finger.

There weren't any special lines on the flat and smooth ground, Tang Mo looked sideways for a while and finally found an extremely thin silver straight line. This line was ten meters long, parallel to the direction of the corridor, splitting the two-meter wide corridor into two halves flatly. It appeared suddenly from underneath the feet of the Tang Mo trio, and extended all the way to the foot of the wooden high platform where the Moon Flower was located.

At this very moment, the three Tang Mo's are standing at the beginning of this thread.

The Moonflower said gently, "Now you have two paths to choose from; come from the left side of the line and pluck me, or come from the right side of the line and pluck me. O three poor humans, which path will you choose?"

The white woman calmed down and asked, "What's different about these two roads?"

Moonflower: "Two paths, only one is the right path. Poor child, there is a price to pay for stepping on the wrong path. In your short human lives, there are always choices to be made, sometimes choices you are forced to make, sometimes choices you make of your own accord. Many times you stand in the midst of a choice unable to realize that this choice may determine your entire life. For example, right now ......"

The moon flower swayed its beautiful petals, "One path is full of traps, and one path is calm. Human, which path do you choose to walk over and pick me?"

Tang Mo looked up at the moonflower, which seemed to be gentle and affectionate, and said faintly, "Did you just lie?"

Moonflower's voice ended abruptly.

A few moments later, it let out a strange laugh, its voice was still incomparably soft, but that gloating laugh just now had already revealed its sinister and cunning mind.

"Human, guess if I just lied?"
