First, there was no need. Second, he wanted the two to witness the true value of a top-tier Three-Star Player in the Instance, forcing them to choose the second scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he did not know was that after careful consideration, Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chose the third!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the first scenario?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the passive choice of trash. If they died, they died, and it would not be worth pitying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At seven in the morning, the duo arrived at the Gatehouse, where roughly ten thousand players had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not as many as they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was actually understandable. The Deceiver Alliance held the Hundred Ghost Feast every fifteen days. Players who did not want to participate only needed to manage their time well or clear an Instance and temporarily stay inside without coming out to avoid it. Of course, they would also miss out on the Rewards the Liar-Slayer Alliance offered for the Hundred Ghost Feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opportunities and dangers coexisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Safety and mediocrity went hand in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two split up and wove through the crowd, scanning every face to see if they recognized anyone from their previous lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they regrouped, both shook their heads. Neither jumped to any early conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Mei Zhixu found them in a hurry, bringing along two players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She briefly introduced the pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were a man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was named Cao Xiu, a youth wearing tight jeans and slip-on loafers. Combined with his scrawny figure, he perfectly fit the vibe of an Energetic Young Guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-tier Two-Star Player!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was named Zhang Meili, in her early forties. Wearing black-framed glasses, a silk scarf with a jasmine pattern tied around her neck, and a floral blouse, she had a strict expression. Chen Ran saw the shadow of a middle school Chinese teacher in her. Though they didn't look alike, their attire and temperament were strikingly similar. Perhaps every older female middle school teacher dressed like this... with the exception of the English Teacher. Chen Ran remembered his middle school English Teacher being very beautiful...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another top-tier Two-Star Player!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they observed the newcomers, the newcomers were also observing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them had done their homework beforehand and did not look down on Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong just because they were One-Star Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before coming into contact with a Mental Cultivation Method, players below Three-Star only had a gap in Skill levels; there was not much difference in intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew about Chen Ran's Skill and understood that Eternal Kingdom would be incredibly effective when battling with Skills in an Instance. Therefore, they both smiled and nodded, acknowledging the duo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mei Zhixu took a deep look at Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong before shaking her head and walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I remember someone else facing this kind of situation in the past.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'They asked me to find four teammates, then later reduced it by one, telling me to just find three.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'His Skill was even of the noble karmic type, but unfortunately...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He failed to make it out of the Instance alive.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I see time acting like a cycle of reincarnation, replaying every predetermined fate.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth with a dazzling smile on his face approached Chen Ran's group of four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth was named Diwu Zeyi. He was not considered handsome, but he had a pleasant appearance, and his smile made people feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them blanked slightly upon hearing his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Diwu is not in The Hundred Family Surnames, but the surname Diwu does indeed exist. It seems that during the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Tian royal family of Qi fled their homeland to seek refuge. The clan split into eight branches and relocated. The first branch changed their surname to Diyi; the second branch changed to Dier...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The fifth branch changed their surname to Diwu. Zeyi: To choose what is good and follow it, remaining consistent from beginning to end.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could all feel the weight of history and culture from the youth's name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the one the First Floor Captain had sent to \"protect\" Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-tier Three-Star Player!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of them chatted, talking and laughing. To outsiders, they looked like beloved friends and sworn brothers. When discussing the distribution of Instance Points, they were highly amicable, as if no one cared about their own personal interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the five reached a consensus: however many people from their temporary team made it out of the Instance alive, the Points obtained would be divided equally among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi chuckled softly. \"I heard you bought a Tracking Talisman. How about it, do you have a target? Do you need me to give you a suggestion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What suggestion?\" Chen Ran asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi was about to speak, but Zhang Meili beat him to it. \"I believe in Chen Ran. Since he purchased a Tracking Talisman, it means he already has a definite target, and this target should align with his interests as a One-Star Player.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of the four people's mouths curled up. A certain Ping Pong Ball demon king once said that the moment she shook hands with her opponent, she knew who would win or lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meili also realized that her words had indirectly exposed her strength, and she could not help but feel alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Diwu Zeyi seems to be making small talk, but he is actually probing our depths.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He is a top-tier Three-Star Player. The fact that he isn't expressionless suggests that he has very likely Slayed One Complete Corpse.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In front of this kind of person, any negligence could trigger a chain reaction.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have a faint feeling that if only the five of us are left at the end of the Instance, those four will definitely make me their first target.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My suggestion is not to use the Tracking Talisman. We might just get randomly matched with three teams from the Deceiver Alliance,\" Diwu Zeyi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xiu frowned, but wary of making the same mistake as Zhang Meili, he refrained from voicing any objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran feigned a look of terror and said in a panic, \"I think we'll pass. She and I are only One-Star Players, and we've only been in The 18th Level for a few days. For this Instance, as long as we make it out alive, it's fine. We aren't asking for too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, a Tracking Talisman only has a ten percent success rate, so the possibility of failure is very high. Since we already bought it, it would be a shame not to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That acting is a bit too exaggerated!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them shot Chen Ran disdainful looks, and even the corner of Qiu Yinong's mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Whisperers stepped forward one after another, disappearing into the screen of light. The Liar-Slayers present checked their Watches almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7:59.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, they had entered a minute early, yet from beginning to end, none of them had seen the Eight-Star Ghost Whisperer Xia Ning use her Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an owner of a spatial Skill, Lin Xuan immediately thought that it was highly likely Xia Ning was being assisted by a spatial Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the time hit 8:00.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran and his group of five also stepped into the curtain of light, arriving in a vast expanse of white space. There were two doors in front of them: one leading to a Novice Instance and the other to a One-Star Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because there was a Three-Star Player in their team, the door leading to the Novice Instance remained tightly shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong walked at the very back, watching the other three step into the One-Star Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran took out the Tracking Talisman and recalled Lin Xiuyuan's information in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack. The Tracking Talisman shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told a lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar-Slayer: Wheel of Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran recalled Lin Xiuyuan's information in his mind again. Crack. The Tracking Talisman shattered once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong used her Skill again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran once again recalled Lin Xiuyuan's information in his mind. Crack...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They repeated this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ninth attempt, the Tracking Talisman in Chen Ran's hand turned into specks of starlight and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracking successful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them walked into the One-Star Instance...\u003C\u002Fp>",1535,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","1f1b7d2c1e287c2b8e1d9ef97fe0dadaedd679a00b58473730ddb93729f49006","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-132","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-130",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
