The words spoken, the actions taken, and the deductions made by everyone across more than two hundred cycles...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it crammed into their brains like a tidal wave. Their heads first throbbed with swelling pain, then stung sharply, until finally, all three of them threw up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was like a 5G signal downloading hundreds of terabytes of files in a single second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong was different; she had rested and recharged her energy for over eight hours halfway through. The other three, however, had been in a state of extreme deduction for nearly eighteen hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran, Diwu Zeyi, and Long Hui were all half-kneeling on their respective floors. They felt the world spinning around them, accompanied by a buzzing tinnitus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong looked at the mentally exhausted trio as if she had discovered a new continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Perhaps my Skill also has a Psionic Attack effect similar to Li Zhitong's...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three only experienced brief discomfort before quickly recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A summary of the entire process:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, as the orchestrator, Chen Ran tried everything he could. Whether it was utilizing an Unknown Lie, trying to use Turned Upside Down to prevent the Three-Star players from receiving the Unknown Lie, or attempting to construct Deceiver's Tongue...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all failed, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was around the 100th reset that Chen Ran finally eliminated all other possibilities and locked his suspicion onto Dorje's Skill...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second effect of Turned Upside Down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he would also lose his memories with each reset, if he were to orchestrate the plan, simply deducing the second effect of Turned Upside Down all over again would consume most of the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he handed the orchestration over to Qiu Yinong, the only one who wouldn't lose her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He implicitly pointed out that the Three-Star players weren't as strong as imagined. The reason they seemed invincible lay in Dorje's Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Connecting the dots up to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi and Long Hui turned their heads and simultaneously gave Qiu Yinong the middle finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next hundred or so resets, Qiu Yinong had been resting and recharging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made them suffer bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the 203rd time. Logically speaking, Qiu Yinong had already provided a lie for the others earlier by saying \"I lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, she clearly could have activated her Skill instantly with zero delay, but instead, she...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Said \"I lied\" once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Diwu Zeyi had already retracted his Skill and was bound by a Future Lie. If no one provided him with a lie, he would be unable to use Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, Qiu Yinong's phrase \"I lied\" was to provide a lie for Diwu Zeyi, allowing him to use his Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result of the 203rd time was exactly this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong used the Wheel of Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi used Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What needs to be noted here is that the Wheel of Time creates the present timeline based on a past timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers from the timeline before the previous one could influence the Wheel of Time from that same timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just earlier, what Diwu Zeyi retracted was the Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers from the previous timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the timeline before the previous one, Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers controlled the Wheel of Time, enhancing its duration to exceed five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Dorje looked at his Watch, thinking the Wheel of Time only lasted five minutes, he estimated it would end in about two minutes. That's why he said \"there are less than three minutes left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning it would end at 21:03.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the time surpassed 21:03:01 and Qiu Yinong's Wheel of Time hadn't ended yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorje would be lying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, this was the case. The duration of the enhanced Wheel of Time had far exceeded five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, he was Judged to death by Qiu Yinong and Diwu Zeyi. Just to be safe, however, Qiu Yinong used the Wheel of Time one more time, letting all that had happened return to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ran, Long Hui, and even Qiu Yinong realized that there was an glaringly obvious loophole in all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was—how did Diwu Zeyi manage to control Qiu Yinong's Wheel of Time in just a split second?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three look over, Diwu Zeyi took a piece of paper from his computer desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless deductions were densely scrawled across it in messy handwriting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Skill is most likely derived from 'The Emperor emerges from the mouth of the three rivers, Jiahu serves as the battlefield.' That is a prophecy. But who told you that a prophecy only counts if it's spoken aloud?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had already written down my deductions in advance, just waiting for an opportunity. Until I heard Qiu Yinong say, 'I'm curious about a question. If a...' At that moment, I realized she might be trying to ask, 'If a Skill is retracted, does that equate to retracting the Skill across all timelines?'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I knew that she knew I was waiting for an opportunity, so I hastily spoke up to interrupt her from asking further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, after hearing my words, she immediately prepared to use her Skill and even provided me with a lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when I used my Skill, I flipped the paper that was face-down on the desk face-up. The instant I saw the text, I completed my control over Qiu Yinong's Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was my backup plan. I would actually have preferred to see the time resets continue. That way, Chen Ran would most likely trick us into a lie using his own lie. As long as I held steady and didn't lie, victory would essentially be guaranteed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking up to here, his gaze turned solemn as he looked at Chen Ran. \"I originally thought that you would break under that high-pressure environment and frantically try to use an Unknown Lie to trick us into a lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what I didn't expect was that you actually figured out that Turned Upside Down's second effect was influencing your judgment. I'm very curious. For nearly a hundred Time Resets, you probably hadn't even considered Turned Upside Down. Why did you suddenly change your line of thought and deduce the real reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A person's way of thinking is very difficult to change in a short amount of time. So what exactly caused your thinking to jump out of its original framework?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi's gaze burned brightly. He found Chen Ran increasingly impossible to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran didn't hide it, nor was there anything to hide. Having fought to this extent, no one would believe him if he pretended to be a rookie anymore. He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Writer's block experience. When I wrote novels while I was alive, every time I hit writer's block, I would force myself into a state of hyper-arousal. In this state, my mind becomes extremely active.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, a mind that's too active isn't necessarily a good thing. For example, I used this method on the subway and ended up making incorrect deductions about Long Hui's Deceiver's Tongue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As of now, the accuracy of my deductions in this state is only 50%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Monster!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Freak!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi and Long Hui exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn't understand the underlying principle of Chen Ran's method, the ability to jump out of a mental framework in such a short time already proved its formidable nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are True-Self Level players all this unsolvable? No wonder they're so hard to kill!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hui voiced his own doubt. \"I'm still a bit curious. Why would Dorje unguardedly say something as prone to error as 'less than three minutes left'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the three of us had already retracted our Skills at that time. Perhaps in his view, there were no longer any factors that could trick him into a lie. Moreover, he didn't have the memories of the previous timeline at that moment, which is why he was tricked into lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hui nodded, agreeing with the explanation. At this point, four people remained in the second Secret Room: Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, Diwu Zeyi, and Long Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had completely lost the desire to continue fighting. All of them needed to rest and recharge to prepare in advance for the final showdown in the Third Secret Chamber. Consequently...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealthy man, who had been left hanging this entire time, became the target of the four people's focused fire.\u003C\u002Fp>",1457,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","b79acd28fbf73e9cad30211dd3378bae0e32bb9802100a2f69ab6415c40df7ca","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-188","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-186",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
