The Earth is Online - Chapter 120

[Chapter 120]

A creaking sound sounded, and the short hour hand began to slowly slide to the left under Tang Mo’s feet. It slides clockwise four times in a row, finally landing firmly on the 24th square. Tang Mo stepped up and walked into the 24th square. On the other end of the truth clock, the minute hand at the foot of the black rabbit slides back. It retreated two squares and should have entered the 60th square, but after the minute hand pointed to the past, the black rabbit did not move.

The indifferent voice of the truth clock sounded: “Please enter the correct grid at 0:00.”

The black rabbit kicked the ground hard and jumped to the 60th square.

The huge Russian matryoshka slammed heavily on the ground, and the ground trembled slightly. This round of the game ended, and neither Black Rabbit nor Tang Mo were punished. Black Rabbit stepped back two squares, obviously giving up the elimination item, but Tang Mo moved back four squares.

How wrong is this number.

“Last time it was the fifth-level non-universal truth… What’s the reason for this time?” Tang Mo’s calm voice sounded.

Black Rabbit raised his head and stared at Tang Mo coldly without speaking.

Tang Mo’s mouth twitched, and he didn’t say more.

If someone were to observe it now, it would be found that the black rabbit seemed to have completely changed his personality, which was completely different from before. Ever since Tang Mo saw this Russian black rabbit nesting doll, the other party has always been a fiery, irritable, brutal and arrogant image. As soon as it walked up to the truth clock, it said harsh words, threatening to eat Tang Mo, and even eat Tang Mo’s eyeballs with candy.

In the mouth of the black rabbit, it has passed the clock of truth and eaten countless humans.

Such a black rabbit is very similar to every black tower monster Tang Mo has ever seen. Neurotic, sinister and vicious, the attitude towards humans is only “eat”, and he likes to hum some off-key ditties and say some creepy things. If there is any difference, it is probably only the black rabbit that is slightly worse than the surface. Whether it’s Mario or Pinocchio, they both love acting. Watching human players being played around by themselves is their greatest joy.

One person and one rabbit looked at each other quietly on the truth clock. After a long time, a hoarse male voice came from the black rabbit’s Russian nesting doll body: “…When did you find out.”

“In the beginning.”

Black Rabbit widened his eyes in astonishment, and after a long time he said, “In the beginning?!”

In the silent black space, Tang Mo looked at the Russian nesting doll not far away, and said lightly, “Before the game started, I fell directly from the sky because I grabbed Mr. Rabbit’s tail and fell on the truth clock. I had no choice, I was forced to stand on this clock, locked in an invisible cage by it, and couldn’t leave. But…” After a pause, Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit and said, “You are going by yourself. came up.”

The black rabbit’s face was full of surprise, its eyes rolled, and it kept thinking. After a minute, it seemed to finally understand where it was wrong, and gave a wry smile.

Yes, from the very beginning, Tang Mo had wondered what the purpose of this black rabbit was.

The black rabbit took the initiative to walk on the clock of truth. Before walking on the truth clock, its body is not restricted by the truth clock and can move freely (including choosing to walk on the truth clock). After walking on the truth clock, it was trapped in this small space, less than one square meter, just like Tang Mo. It said it played the truth clock game and ate a lot of humans with this amazing clock. It also does know the way to turn on the truth clock, and has always appeared to know the truth clock game well.

But after walking on this clock, no one can guarantee that they will die in this game controlled by the clock of truth. Where did Black Rabbit get its confidence, thinking that it would definitely win Tang Mo, would not lose the game and fall into the black hole of truth?

There are two possibilities. The first is that it is so arrogant and arrogant that it does not take human players like Tang Mo in the eye. But it’s more likely that it does have something to rely on.

What is the reliance that makes Black Rabbit confidently walk on the clock of truth and play a game with Tang Mo with his life?

For the first half hour, Tang Mo kept thinking about this question. He originally thought it was some kind of special prop, or that the black rabbit was really smart and good at playing this game. Until that time, a total of 48 items appeared, and both Tang Mo and Black Rabbit tried their best to eliminate the items. In the end, Tang Mo advanced seven squares, but Black Rabbit retreated a full ten squares.

“When there are very few items, you always walk more than me and have the upper hand. But once there are a lot of items, whether it’s 48 items in the third round, or 28 items in the eighth round, you have the upper hand. The progress is much less than me.” Tang Mo’s voice was calm, “If you have less items, you can walk a lot; if you have more items, you can walk less. This game is a test of the players’ brain power, eyesight, and memory… a test of the players. Hard power, the more items you have, the more difficult the game will be. The difficulty increases exponentially. Through those two rounds of games, you have proved that your strength is not stronger than me, but much weaker than me.”

Black Rabbit: “I just happen to have a few items I haven’t seen before.”

Tang Mo ignored it: “Especially with the 48 items in the third round, the number of squares you regressed was too many. The advantages you accumulated in two rounds of games have all disappeared in that round, and they haven’t even made up for it until now. This shows that you and I are equal in participating in the truth clock game. At least you don’t have any props or treasures, so you can guarantee that you have more squares than me. Then the question is…why do you want to go The clock of truth, start the game with me.”

This is a game in which life is staked, and there is no certainty that it can win. What is the reason for the black rabbit to boldly step on the clock of truth?

There is only one possibility.

“You didn’t want to come up, you were forced to come up.” Tang Mo came to a firm conclusion.

The black rabbit looked at Tang Mo with a complicated and strange look, its body swaying slightly. After a while, it began to laugh. A hoarse and unpleasant laughter came from the wooden doll’s body. It said it was laughing, but it laughed very tiredly, and it no longer had the irritable and furious look it used to be.

Black Rabbit has thought about it a lot, and it has been thinking about how to act in order to deceive this player since he walked on this truth clock. It really did its best, trying to intimidate Tang Mo, constantly disguising itself, and portraying itself as a mindless and manic stupid rabbit. Even Tang Mo was tricked by him, but it still lost.

“What I lost to was luck.” Black Rabbit said, “If I know all four items that appeared in the difficult truth game just now, I can tell you the information and let you answer the four items, and Instead of choosing to answer only two of them and give up the other two with no penalty. Delicious stowaways buns, the other one is clearly human blood. You can see how to eliminate these two. Just the other two One, half eaten a cookie and a pink sachet, I don’t know what these two are, so I can’t give you a hint. So you chose to give up and didn’t answer. ”

Rule 10: Every hour, only four items will appear on the truth clock. The truth of this item is a hard truth.

When a difficult truth item appeared for the first time, Black Rabbit “unintentionally” exposed the information of delicious stowaways buns. In that round, Tang Mo went back three spaces, and Black Rabbit went back one space. According to the number of squares, Tang Mo has no problem. He can understand that he answered two items wrongly, and gave up eliminating two items, thus retreating three squares.

But the problem is, he was not punished in any way. Black Rabbit turned his head quickly, and immediately said that because this was a “five-level non-universal truth”, Tang Mo could be exempted from punishment. If you were a player, you might really believe what he said, but Tang Mo wouldn’t. and……

“The half-eaten biscuits are Grandma Wolf’s favorite brand. That pink sachet is also the one that Grandma Wolf in Monster Valley has always kept at the bedside. This is the single truth between them.” Hearing this, Black Rabbit looked at Tang Mo in astonishment, only to see Tang Mo smile slightly: “That round I eliminated these two items, I gave up eliminating buns and blood.”

Black Rabbit: “You already know what buns and blood are, why don’t you eliminate them?!”

“You are my enemy. Even if the information that the enemy gives you, even if nine out of ten are correct… Would you believe it?”

Black Rabbit: “…”

Seeing the depressed and annoyed look of Black Rabbit, Tang Mo pursed his lips.

In fact, there are many things he has not said, and there is no need to say. In this game, Black Rabbit has lost its biggest chip——

Black Rabbit and Tang Mo are also two items that can be eliminated.

From the very beginning, Tang Mo said “The Black Rabbit is the Black Tower Boss”, and the truth clock gave him the answer of denial, which was to imply that this Black Rabbit was not the Black Tower Boss, and even said that it was probably not the Black Tower monster. is a human being.

When there are fewer items, the Black Rabbit will have the upper hand; if there are too many items, Tang Mo will gain the upper hand. This is not because the Black Rabbit can only eliminate a relatively small number of items, and it can’t solve it when the number is too large. It’s the “two-frame advantage” that it has, which disappears when there are many items.

The Black Rabbit has a two-square advantage. Because Tang Mo would not eliminate himself and the Black Rabbit in each round, he would retreat two spaces in each round. It was difficult for Tang Mo to discover this. For example, in the first round of the game, among the six items, he stepped back one space. At that time, Tang Mo thought that he had answered two items correctly and four items incorrectly. In this way, he moved forward by one space and backed up two spaces, and the final result was one space back. But now that I think about it, he actually answered four items correctly. He moved forward two squares and backed up one square, but because he did not eliminate himself and the black rabbit, he backed up two squares again. Add up, and eventually go back one space.

Another example is that only two items appeared in the round just now. This is simply to tempt Tang Mo to quickly eliminate the items and then clear the game. But Tang Mo chose to give up. He didn’t eliminate a single item. Assuming that he is eager to eliminate the item, he can indeed move forward one space by eliminating the item, but he is forced to retreat two spaces because he and the black rabbit are not eliminated. The ending is a step back, which can be explained by “Tang Mo answered the truth wrong”.

Only when he steps back four squares can it be proved that there are really “two items that can be eliminated but have not been eliminated”. These two items are Black Rabbit and Tang Mo.

There is a big bug in this game rule: If Tang Mo and Black Rabbit eliminate all the items on the truth clock at the same time, who will be the winner?

There are three ways to clear the game: catch up with the opponent, kill the opponent himself, and eliminate all items.

There can only be one winner on the truth clock. When two players eliminate all items at the same time, who is the real winner? The biggest loophole in the rules of the game made Tang Mo even more determined to give up eliminating those two items. Because there is only one answer to this loophole: Black Rabbit doesn’t play the same game as he does.

Tang Mo can clear the game by eliminating all items, but Black Rabbit cannot clear the game by eliminating all items.

Tang Mo determined Black Rabbit’s true reliance by giving up and eliminating two items.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon, ten minutes passed, and fourteen blue rays of light flashed in the center of the truth clock. Seeing these fourteen rays of light, the black rabbit seemed to suddenly realize something, and it said loudly, “I didn’t lose!”

Tang Mo looked up at it.

Black Rabbit’s eyes became fierce again, and a trace of joy flashed on its face, and sneered: “Yes, the game has just begun, I didn’t lose, and you don’t necessarily win. As long as I catch up with you, you will lose! So what if you know, it’s just a fair fight. I will definitely win!”

The blue light gradually dimmed. Seeing the black rabbit gnashing his teeth, Tang Mo raised his lips, and before the fourteen items were completely revealed, he said calmly, “I have already guessed the general truth, there is only one thing, I don’t Be sure. The Black Tower can force players to participate in the game, and maybe it can also force the underground people and the monsters of the Black Tower to participate in the game it designed. When I entered this game, the Black Tower said that this is my single-player game. so……”

The blue completely dissipated, fourteen items appeared, and the second hand of the truth clock moved again. It also made a mechanical sound, reminding the two players present to prepare to eliminate the items.

In the background sound of the truth clock that did not rise and fall, Tang Mo’s eyes gradually turned cold. He said word by word: “The only thing I’m not sure about is… Are you a human player?”

The expression on the black rabbit’s face changed, and the next second it suddenly laughed wildly: “Stupid human, you actually think I’m human? This is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year. I will definitely eat you, haha Haha, tear you into pieces and eat them all!”

Tang Mo raised his lips: “Oh, you really are a human player.”

Black Rabbit’s laughter stopped abruptly, and it looked at Tang Mo in disbelief. Tang Mo no longer looked at him, but looked down at the fourteen items.

The black rabbit roared, “Tang Mo!!!”

Tang Mo was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and muttered, “You even know my name? This is a bit unfair.”

The tenth round of the game officially begins.
