Chapter 166
Under the red moonlight, Zhao Xiaofei was helping Li Miaomiao clean her wounds while secretly looking at Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. She found that the expressions of the two men suddenly became very strange. First it was startled, then complicated and finally a bit angry and ashamed…
Eh? Angry and ashamed?
Zhao Xiaofei found it weird.
Were all advanced players so strange?
Zhao Xiaofei didn’t know that many thoughts passed through Tang Mo’s heart in this short second. In the end, he landed on the simplest thought. ‘Who would let him kick this fake clock back to the steel ruins?’
Embarrassment was inevitable but Tang Mo calmed himself down as quickly as possible. He didn’t glance at Fu Wenduo. He just stared coldly at the giant clock in front of him and asked, ‘What do you mean by taking away all his props and not allowing him to use them? If I take away all his props, can I give them back to him after getting his ability? What will the result be?’
Tang Mo knew that the truth clock would surely hear him and didn’t say it aloud.
According to the truth clock, he had to take away Fu Wenduo’s prop. He didn’t need to destroy it. Then if Tang Mo got the ability and returned the props to Fu Wenduo, could Fu Wenduo continue to use them? Or would he lose Fu Wenduo’s ability because he didn’t truly not give money for eating? If this was the case, it didn’t matter. Fu Wenduo’s ability was important but the more significant thing was finding out what the note meant.
The truth clock guessed Tang Mo’s thoughts. “You won’t lose his power because you already have it. However, the moment you take away his props and gain the ability, the law of causality will kick in and the props no longer belong to Fu Wenduo. He can’t use them even if you give the props back. You are the only person who can use the props.”
…It wasn’t that simple.
Fu Wenduo was standing quietly beside him but Tang Mo couldn’t ignore him. He didn’t know that Fu Wenduo was also looking at the truth clock instead of Tang Mo. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Tang Mo didn’t know if what he said in his heart could be heard by Fu Wenduo or not. He hesitated but still couldn’t ask ‘What do you mean by □□’. (TL: Mating) He said, “I can gain his ability by taking away all his props. Does this apply to other people as well?”
This was the second question and the truth clock didn’t need to answer it.
Perhaps it knew that it was going to be made into a stinky toilet for Santa and decided to freely answer, “It isn’t applicable. It applies to Black Tower Intruder Fu Wenduo because he has many rare quality props.”
Tang Mo guessed the correct usage of his ability but he was still a bit confused. The truth clock didn’t say anything else and Schrodinger yelled, “Hey, how are you humans more greedy than shameless? You have already asked several questions! You aren’t allowed to ask anymore! Get out of my steel forest!”
The truth clock was silent and quietly ticked like an ordinary clock.
Tang Mo was prepared to go back and it happened that Fu Wenduo also turned around at this time. The eyes of the two men met. The next second, Tang Mo suppressed the complex emotions that couldn’t be described in words. They were silent for a moment before Tang Mo spoke first. “We should be able to leave.”
Fu Wenduo nodded after a moment. “…Yes.”
Tang Mo, “…”
Fu Wenduo, “…”
