The Earth is Online - Chapter 118

[Chapter 118]

The truth clock game of Mr. Rabbit has only started twenty minutes. In just 20 minutes, at first, Black Rabbit shortened the distance between him and Tang Mo, and was about to catch up with him; now the distance between the two has returned to the original point, which is still 30 blocks.

The truth clock is a circle, which can be roughly divided into the 1st to 60th squares, which are connected end to end to form a closed loop.

Counterclockwise is forward, clockwise is backward.

In this game, advance or retreat. Assuming that in a certain round of the game, Tang Mo moves forward fifteen squares and Black Rabbit backwards fifteen squares, then he will catch up with Black Rabbit in an instant, and Black Rabbit falls into the black hole of truth.

And there is something special about this game.

Tang Mo sat on the ground, resting cross-legged. He narrowed his eyes, and his eyes slid from the 59th square where the black rabbit was originally to the 3rd square where it was now standing. Black Rabbit went back four squares in total.

“There were a total of sixteen items in the game just now. If all of them are eliminated, there are 8 pairs of items, a total of 8 points. Four squares, it answers six pairs of items incorrectly, and only answers two pairs correctly, so that it can go back four squares. Tang Mo had a calm expression on his face, but he silently calculated in his heart, “Among the sixteen items just now, at least three pairs of items are very simple. The single truth between them is obvious, and it shouldn’t answer so many mistakes. So…”

So Black Rabbit, like him, chose to give up eliminating items.

Rule 6 of the game: When opening Schrödinger’s box, if there are still items on the truth clock that have not been eliminated, go back two spaces.

Yes, in Mr. Rabbit’s Truth Clock game, there are a maximum of 58 items and a minimum of 2 items. Eliminate mistakes, go back one space; eliminate correct, move forward one space. There are also four different penalties depending on the level of fallacies for eliminating errors. Suppose the player is very ignorant of two items and really can’t find the truth buried in them. At this time, he can choose: first, say a truth casually and eliminate these two items; second, give up eliminating items.

Just say a truth, the probability of being correct is infinitely close to zero. It is very possible to go backwards, and even trigger the first-level origin fallacy.

Abandoning the elimination item will not trigger any fallacy, but it will go back two squares.

Among the sixteen items just now, there were three items Tang Mo had never seen before. He thought carefully for a long time, and finally decided to give up the elimination. Compared with the unknown first-level punishment, he would rather go back four steps and take a long-term view. But to his surprise, the Black Rabbit went backwards so much this time. There is a 90% chance that the black rabbit has not eliminated all items, so it will go backwards so many spaces.

“Then why is he happy…” Tang Mo murmured in a low voice.

The time interval between two rounds of items appearing is ten minutes.

In the game just now, both Tang Mo and Black Rabbit triggered the third-level gray fallacy. It took some effort for them to deal with the huge black suction vortex, and the two of them did not speak in tacit understanding, and rested separately. Tang Mo kept thinking about it. He recalled the sixteen items he had seen just now, as well as the four items he saw in the first round.

Although these objects should not appear again in the future, he wanted to get some clues about the single truth from them.

For example, this time, Tang Mo stepped back two spaces. This shows that apart from the four items he gave up and eliminated that made him go back four squares, he really only advanced two squares. The remaining twelve items can be divided into six pairs for a total of six points. Tang Mo answered four pairs of items correctly and two incorrectly, which allowed him to move forward only two spaces.

When you find where you are wrong, it is easier to analyze what the single truth recognized by the Black Tower refers to.

Tang Mo stretched out his hand and drew on the truth clock. When his hand pressed on the blue clock, the blue light on the clock of truth flickered gently with the movement of his fingers. Black Rabbit was originally standing opposite, staring at Tang Mo angrily. After a few minutes, seeing Tang Mo keep bowing his head and ignoring it, a strange look flashed across its eyes.

In a place that Tang Mo didn’t see, the black rabbit heaved a sigh of relief, and a tired look appeared on his fierce and ugly face.

The next second, Tang Mo raised his head sharply, the black rabbit was startled, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his big face quickly. Soon, it opened its mouth and said angrily: “You…you stupid human! Don’t think that the distance between us is shortened again, and I can’t eat you. When I catch up with you, I will take your eyeballs. Drink and eat!”

Tang Mo fixedly looked at the black rabbit, and the black rabbit was scolded repeatedly by him. When it got tired of cursing, Tang Mo said calmly, “The time is up.”

The black rabbit was stunned for a moment, and it took a moment for it to recover: “You think I am because of this?”

Tang Mo didn’t answer, twelve faint blue rays of light lit up in the center of the truth clock. Tang Mo and Black Rabbit turned their attention to the truth clock again.

In the third round, twelve items appeared on the clock of truth. Tang Mo advanced two squares, and Black Rabbit advanced three squares. This time it was the Black Rabbit who was one space ahead, with a difference of 29 spaces between the two.

The black rabbit cracked his mouth: “Hehehe, I’m going to catch you again…”

Tang Mo was noncommittal. He sat on the ground and quietly thought about the six pairs of objects he had just eliminated. He got four points right and two points wrong.

“Which two pairs of items went wrong…”

Tang Mo had long discovered that angering the black rabbit would have no effect. This rabbit is not as stupid as it looks on the surface. When it comes to critical time, it will calmly analyze the problem and participate in the truth clock game. Then the only rules of the game that he can use at present are “what the black tower recognizes is the truth” and “there can only be one winner on the clock of truth”.

If the black rabbit dies, he can also clear the level directly.

Thinking of this, Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the black rabbit again. I don’t know what Black Rabbit was thinking, maybe because he was worried that Tang Mo would look up at him again in surprise (and didn’t), scaring him. During the ten-minute interval at the beginning of the game, it kept wide-eyed and glared at Tang Mo angrily, as if it was foolproof and would not be found by Tang Mo.

One person and one rabbit stared at each other with big eyes. Ten minutes are up, and this time, countless rays of light appear on the truth clock. Tang Mo was shocked. After he saw all the items on the field, the emotionless voice of the truth clock sounded——

“Time: 0:40, Location: Clock of Truth, forty-eight truth-rich objects appear.”

“After one minute, please eliminate the truth for the 0-point player and the 6-point player.”

Tang Mo: “…”

Black Rabbit: “…”

Depend on!

The long second hand slid again, Tang Mo didn’t have time to waste, he quickly scanned every item on the field.

According to the rules of the Black Tower game, there will be 2-58 items ranging from 2 to 58 on the truth clock. Tang Mo also thought about “if 58 items appear at one time, will players have no time to sort out the relationship between items”, but he never imagined that he would encounter so many items so quickly, and the truth clock gave The time is still one minute!

Tang Mo’s brain was running at an unprecedented speed, and blue veins burst out on his full forehead. His face flushed red, as if he could clearly hear the crackling of nerve cells in his brain. When all this was over, Tang Mo’s lips trembled as he listened to the truth clock prompting “6 o’clock players start eliminating items”, and a hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

“The first pair, rubber bands and tires, they are all rubber products. Except for these two, there are no rubber products in the other forty-six items…”

The hoarse voice seemed to have been ground on sandpaper. For the first time, Tang Mo felt that his mind had reached its limit.

He was exhausted.

In the truth clock game, it doesn’t mean that you find a separate truth between item A and item B to be sure that they are to be eliminated. For example, rubber bands and tires are the only two of the forty-eight items that have the “all rubber” truth, and they can indeed be eliminated using this single truth. But it is quite possible that, among the other forty-six items, rubber bands and ropes can also be eliminated, since they are all ropes. Tires and steering wheels can also be eliminated because they are one of the components of the car.

After Tang Mo removed the rubber band and tire, they could no longer be removed from the rope and steering wheel. In the end, the rope and steering wheel could not be eliminated, so Tang Mo retreated two spaces.

In one minute, Tang Mo had too many things to consider. Don’t just see an item, compare it to another item. When Tang Mo saw the rubber band, he didn’t just think about the tire, he also had to compare the rubber band with the other forty-seven items in his heart.

“…The twenty-second pair, a pile of glass shards and a mirror. The mirror’s composition contains glass. Except for these two items, all other items do not contain glass. The last four items, discard.”

The blue wall slowly rose, and Tang Mo looked up to see the black rabbit on the opposite side. Black Rabbit is not much better than him.

The black rabbit’s eyes were red, and the whole rabbit was panting violently. The two looked at each other across a clock. Then, a flat, unwavering voice rang out—

“The player at 0 triggers the second-level Sophistication Fallacy, and the player at 6 triggers the third-level Grey Fallacy. At 0, the player goes back ten spaces, and at 6, the player advances seven spaces.”

Tang Mo’s eyes slowly widened. Under his feet, the hour hand rattled and finally landed on the 24th grid. At the feet of the black rabbit, the minute hand also moved and finally fell on the 10th grid.

Black Rabbit’s face was extremely ugly. It looked at Tang Mo with stunned, horrified eyes, and a hint of naturalness that was difficult to detect. It gritted its teeth, hit the ground hard, and went down to the 10th square.

Tang Mo thoughtfully walked to the 24th square.

Both were punished.

The distance was suddenly shortened to 14 blocks.

For the next two rounds, not many items appear on the truth clock. Black Rabbit did not go back ten squares like in the third round, but each time he advanced more squares than Tang Mo, and the distance between the two widened to 19 squares. When the sixth round of items appeared, Tang Mo stood on the 20th square, and Black Rabbit stood on the 1st square.

The indifferent voice of the truth clock sounded: “Time: 1:00, location: truth clock, 4 items rich in difficult truth appeared.”

“After one minute, please eliminate the truth for the 0-point player and the 6-point player.”

The items that appear this time are all rich in difficult truths, and it will be more difficult to find individual truths between them. Tang Mo looked at the four items calmly, ready to analyze and answer. At this moment, a stunned voice sounded from across the clock: “Ah, this is the best-selling delicious smuggler’s BBQ pork bun in the Underworld Kingdom…”

Black Rabbit’s voice stopped abruptly, it raised its head stiffly and looked at Tang Mo opposite.

Tang Mo raised an eyebrow. He also didn’t expect that the black rabbit would reveal the information about the huge bun when he saw it.

Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit quietly, the expression on the black rabbit’s face was rich, and finally it slammed into the wall angrily: “Ah, ah, ah, I want to eat you, I want to eat you!!!” Completely an angry and angry rabbit appearance.
