Tang Mo lowered his head and didn’t speak.

…There was something wrong. There must be something wrong!

The truth clock confined Tang Mo to a square that was one meter. He simply leaned back against the invisible wall and bowed his head to think about the problem.

The TV and lamp, the table and longbow.

Between these two pairs of items, one of the truths that he found was wrong.

In this game, Tang Mo started at 6 o’clock and he was Player 6. The black rabbit stood at 9 o’clock and was Player 0. Just now, the truth clock said—

“Player 0 has advanced one square and Player 6 has moved back one square.”

The truth clock said that Tang Mo moved back one square.

It meant the direction this clock was moving in was counterclockwise. Going counterclockwise was the way to move forward. Tang Mo had just moved clockwise, which meant he had moved back.

“All the items on the truth clock are limited to a common truth between only two objects, in other words, there is one single truth.” Tang Mo whispered to himself.

Just now, Tang Mo had moved back one square. This proved that the truth of four out of six items was wrong and only the truth of two items was correct. Among them, Tang Mo was most uncertain about the owl and the bowl of soup. However, he was confused about which two of the remaining four items were wrong.

Whether it was the TV and the lamp or the table and the longbow, perhaps the truth he found wasn’t the only single truth. There were other separate truths between these two objects. There was no doubt that what he found was definitely a truth.

Tang Mo lowered his head, his face cloudy and uncertain.

In the end, he gave a long sigh. “The truth is determined by the black tower.”

It could only be explained by this answer.

The individual truths that Tang Mo found weren’t wrong, but they might be different from the truth recognised by the black tower. If that was the case…

Tang Mo looked up coldly at the black rabbit.

The black rabbit was humming with delight. The distance between it and Tang Mo was shortened. It shook its strong body excitedly, humming an unknown song. It looked like many black tower monsters that Tang Mo had seen, who liked to sing out of tune songs and wanted to eat players. It seemed stupid and was easily provoked. But it had moved forward one square while Tang Mo had moved back one.

Perhaps it was because the black rabbit was a black tower monster. It had a better understanding of the truth clock game and knew how to pass the game. This caused Tang Mo to pay more attention to it.

He couldn’t underestimate any opponent.

Tang Mo put his hands in his pockets and rubbed the gold coin in his pocket. He wouldn’t use the king’s gold coin until he had to.

Five minutes before the next round of items appeared, Tang Mo once again sat on the ground and looked up at the black rabbit. The black rabbit saw Tang Mo sitting on the ground and its mouth slightly twitched. It snorted with disdain and turned to look in the other direction. Then Tang Mo asked lightly, “Which did you get wrong?”

The black rabbit didn’t expect Tang Mo to ask it this type of question and sneered at Tang Mo. “Stupid human, do you think I will tell you?”

Tang Mo looked at it calmly and didn’t speak.

One human and one rabbit looked at each other silently. Five minutes passed and 16 blue rays flashed in the centre of the truth clock. Tang Mo was startled when he saw so many flashes of light and then his lips curved. Risk was accompanied by opportunities. The more items there were, the more squares he could advance if he succeeded in eliminating the right items.

“The time is 0:20. Location: the truth clock. 16 objects rich in truth have appeared.”

“After one minute, players 0 and 6 please eliminate the truths.”

The long second hand started moving again. Once the truth clock announced that the players should prepare to eliminate the items, he inadvertently looked up and found that the joy on the black rabbit’s face was even more apparent. Its expression was astonished, followed by ecstasy and then relief.

Tang Mo frowned. Was there anything among these 16 items that it was familiar with?

There was no time to think about it. Tang Mo carefully observed the 16 items. The items that appeared on the truth clock this time weren’t as simple. There were three things Tang Mo had seen before and one item he knew, but his face sank when he saw this item.

It was banana wine.

Tang Mo had once seen Xiao Jitong take out this banana wine to treat the short-haired girl who was near death.

The presence of the banana wine suggested that the items in the black tower world could also appear on the truth clock. Thus, it was even more unlikely for Tang Mo to find out the separate truth behind them. Time was limited. Tang Mo first looked at the 13 items he knew and quickly discovered the separate truth between several pairs of items.

Finally, he stared at the banana wine and the three strange items. The three items were:

-A grey mouse with a small horn on its head.

-A transparent blue stone with a red water droplet suspended in the middle.

Finally, there was a plushy thing that looked like it had a lot of fur.

A minute later, the second hand stopped at the 12 position and the blue wall slowly descended towards the head of the little grey mouse.

Tang Mo and the black rabbit gave their own answers. Whenever Tang Mo gave a response, the two items he mentioned glowed blue, showing they were selected. He finished with 12 items and his vision moved towards the remaining four items.

Tang Mo stared at the four items. His mouth opened before closing.

The blue wall slowly rose and Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit not far away. He found that the black rabbit’s expression also wasn’t good. He raised an eyebrow and waited for the truth clock’s answer.

Click.

The clock hands at the feet of Tang Mo and the black rabbit started to move at the same time.

The hour hand under Tang Mo’s feet moved two squares to the left, meaning he had to move back two squares. On the other side of the clock, the minute hand at the black rabbit’s feet moved four times! Tang Mo saw this situation and the corners of his lips curved. “You have to move back four squares?”

The black rabbit’s expression constantly changed until it finally roared, “Shut up!”

“Player 0 has triggered a level three grey paradox and Player 6 has triggered a level three grey paradox. Player 0 has moved back four squares and Player 6 has moved back two squares.”

The moment the voice ended, a weak suction force appeared at Tang Mo and the black rabbit’s feet. The suction was hard to detect at first and Tang Mo only felt that his body was becoming heavier. By the time he discovered that something was wrong, he looked down and found there was a small dot on the ground that had become the size of a bowl.

The black dot grew larger and the suction force became fiercer. Once the black dot became a black vortex with a diameter of half a metre, the horrible suction pulled at Tang Mo’s clothes. Tang Mo moved to the edge of the square and held the invisible wall with his hands, stabilising his body. The black rabbit’s condition was worse.

None of them expected that the punishment given by the black tower would be this black vortex. The black rabbit’s body was a Russian cylinder doll. It couldn’t stabilise its body with its hands and feet like Tang Mo. It could only jump around the square in a disorderly manner, using the force created by the jumping to offset the suction.

The suction force became bigger and Tang Mo felt a burst of pain from his scalp, like his hair was being pulled out by the roots.

Finally, three minutes passed and the black vortex disappeared. Tang Mo picked up his pants with a blank expression and looked at the opposite side. The black rabbit was lying on the ground with a tired expression and couldn’t move. At this time, Tang Mo was extremely thankful that the underwear he wore today was tight and it wasn’t sucked off. He was glad that he attacked the tower alone. If there were other people such as Fu Wensheng and Fu Wenduo…

Tang Mo coughed and suppressed these thoughts.

In this round, Tang Mo moved back two squares and the black rabbit moved back four squares. It seemed like both of them were retreating backwards but Tang Mo’s retreat was less than the black rabbit. Tang Mo said, “Ah, how are we suddenly so close?”

The black rabbit stared at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo’s lips curved. “It seems that we have returned to our original point?”

Tang Mo stood on the 33rd square while the black rabbit stood on the third square. The distance between the two of them had changed back to 30 squares.

The author has something to say:

Tang Tang: [Pulling up pants with no expression]

Old Fu: …[Strongly demanding to attack the tower together!]
