Chapter 119 (1/2)
The earth shook because of the black rabbit.
Tang Mo sat on the ground, glancing between the black rabbit and the four items in the centre of the clock. He saw the huge bun that was on the leftmost side of the blue clock. The bun was the size of a person’s head and looked soft and sweet, the white skin exuding a faint heat.
Next to the bun, there was a scarlet liquid, a half-eaten biscuit and a pink sachet.
The black rabbit jumped angrily and kept shouting that it wanted to eat Tang Mo. Tang Mo did not look at it at all. However, the ground shook too much, causing Tang Mo to sway even when he was on the ground. He suddenly looked up with cold eyes. “Shut up.”
The black rabbit was stunned and its mouth dropped open for a long time.
A moment later, the black rabbit looked down at the hands on the clock again and its eyes widened with horror.
There were only 30 seconds left!
The second hand moved. Tang Mo looked at the four items and then the leftmost steamed bun. Just now, the black rabbit said that this was the delicious stowaways barbecue buns sold in the Underground Kingdom. Once it said this, it acted surprised, like it really had slipped out and wasn’t a lie.
Tang Mo had actually heard of these buns.
The best pub in the Underground Kingdom was the Banana Pub and the best bun store sold the delicious stowaway buns.
In the Strange Circus instance, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had stayed a week in the Underground Kingdom. Apart from protecting the earthworm and fighting with the 22 players, Tang Mo also quietly walked around the Underground Kingdom. The delicious stowaways bun store was a special place.
This bun store only sold meat buns where the stuffing was the meat of stowaways.
The delicious stowaways bun store never had an accurate opening time. The buns were sold whenever stowaways were caught.
Tang Mo had wondered why the underground people liked to use stowaways to make buns, not bread and pizza. The answer was unknown. At this moment, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The strong aroma of meat came to his nose. It wasn’t the smell of pork, beef or mutton… amidst this fragrant smell of meat, there was also the pungent smell of blood. Tang Mo looked at the scarlet liquid next to the delicious stowaways bun and slowly smiled. He could guess what this was.
On the opposite side of the truth clock, the black rabbit carefully looked at Tang Mo and kept swearing, as if it was worried that Tang Mo would find out the truth because of its words. Its eyes lingered on Tang Mo and its mouth was sweating, but its eyes were moving around.
Clatter. Time was up.
The blue wall slowly fell and Tang Mo looked at the black rabbit on the other side.
The huge Russian doll opened its mouth and revealed its teeth. “Human! Class!”
Tang Mo looked at him calmly and didn’t speak. It was unknown what Tang Mo was thinking. Once the truth clock asked them to give an answer, Tang Mo opened his mouth and quietly said a few words. The black rabbit saw Tang Mo talking and stared nervously at him. It sighed with relief when it saw Tang Mo say a few words and turn started to give its own answer.
The hour and minute hands moved at the same time.
Click.
At Tang Mo’s feet, the hour hand moved three times to the rear. At the black rabbit’s feet, the minute hand was steady and didn’t move. Tang Mo returned to the 23rd square while the black rabbit was still on the 1st square.
“Player 0 has triggered a level three grey fallacy.”
The angry black rabbit instantly quieted down and turned to look at Tang Mo. The black rabbit’s red eyes stared at the truth clock and then Tang Mo. Three seconds passed and the black rabbit didn’t hear the truth clock say the next words.
Tang Mo’s eyes shone as he looked strangely at the truth clock and then the black rabbit.
The next moment, the black rabbit slammed into the wall and shouted, “How can you trigger the level five non-universal truth and escape punishment?!!”
Tang Mo smiled.
The black rabbit was still roaring. “You stupid human, I will eat you! I’ll surely eat you! To be able to discover the level five non-universal truth, you must be a very delicious stowaway. I want to eat you… ahhhh!”
The punishment of the truth clock arrived on schedule.
The blue flames instantly rose, burning the black rabbit’s wooden body. This time, the heat of the flames seemed to be higher than before. The black rabbit screamed as its wooden shell was burnt black. Yet it still screamed at Tang Mo with all its might while being burnt. It said, “I want to eat you,” and “the truth clock must be wrong about you triggering the level five non-universal truth.”
Three minutes later, the fire went out and the black rabbit fell to the ground. This time, it really became a black rabbit. The wooden body was burned all over and even the rabbit pattern originally drawn on it wasn’t as clear.
The black rabbit gasped for a while before finally stopping. It gathered its strength and started to yell at Tang Mo. It kept roaring, the irritating sound filling the dark space.
But no matter how angry it was, Tang Mo didn’t say a word and just lowered his head.
Tang Mo’s hands were in his pockets, his left hand touching the gold coin while his right hand was rhythmically tapping on the turkey egg. Three minutes later, Tang Mo sighed with relief and turned to look at the black rabbit.
The black rabbit’s yelling stopped immediately.
