That means out of the four corner surfaces, three are...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are safe surfaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Four corners:'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Top: East, North.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Bottom: West, South.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Two combinations: of the three safe surfaces, two are at the top, or two are at the bottom.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Earlier, Diwu Zeyi and Long Hui chose to go to the bottom, the [Yin] on the South side.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Those two can occupy the South surface and West surface right away.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If, out of the three safe surfaces, two are at the top and one is at the bottom.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If we run towards the bottom, Diwu Zeyi and Long Hui will occupy the only safe surface at the bottom.

The essence of this Secret Room lies in racing against time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run towards the top!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run towards the top!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen and Qiu spoke in unison; clearly, Qiu Yinong had also deduced this layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a problem here: what if there was only one safe surface at the top?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were flat surfaces, they could only see the characters on them by getting close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong arrived at the top, they looked at the two surfaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East: Eastern Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>North: Western Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Western Han was a dangerous surface, which meant that at the top, only the East surface was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, on the East surface stood [Lin Xiuyuan].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong's physical stamina was better than Chen Ran's, and she was the first to step onto [Eastern Han]. There was no deliberate blocking of positions, so even if [Lin Xiuyuan] wanted to block them, he couldn't. Chen Ran smoothly stepped onto the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't your physical stamina a bit too poor?\" [Lin Xiuyuan] had just tried to block Chen Ran to prevent him from coming up but failed, so he changed the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I reckon our bodies in the patient room are still having blood drawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran frowned. If that was the case, their physical stamina would get progressively worse, to the point where they wouldn't be able to view all five surfaces within two and a half minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Right now, three are at the top and two are at the bottom. Our stamina can still keep up.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But after a while, as our blood is drawn, our bodies will get weaker and weaker. We won't be able to clearly see the characters on the five surfaces within two and a half minutes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Therefore, we have to use a trick in the next round.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'After all, we don't know if our bodies will be able to run another lap around a Secret Room the size of a football field in the next round.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No matter how it changes, there will always be three surfaces that are safe surfaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Five surfaces...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Three are safe.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, we only need to check the words on three surfaces, and one of them will be a safe surface.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Two plans.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One: Diagonals. We are currently in the East corner, so we'll run towards the South side at the bottom. We'll pass the middle platform along the way. This way, we can see the words on the East, South, and Center surfaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Two: A [V]-shaped run.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'We run to the middle first, then run towards the North side at the top. This way, we can see the words on the East, North, and Center surfaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, regardless of which plan.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'We must occupy the middle!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking up to this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran looked at [Lin Xiuyuan], his expression increasingly strange before gradually turning into relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Earlier I was wondering why he, a BOSS, would follow us down.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So he was waiting for this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Simply put, as long as [Lin Xiuyuan] occupies the middle, then...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When our stamina fails, if he and I join forces, we can eliminate the Three-Star players. If he and the Three-Star players join forces, they can eliminate me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Logically, he should eliminate the two Three-Star players first, but this kind of thing...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Cannot be gambled on! And I can't afford to gamble on it!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm very curious. If your Skill truly is what we guessed earlier...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does your Skill's effect repair the corpse permanently, or does it repair it once every time your soul descends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Ran asked, black, corrosive rain suddenly began falling in the Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a guess?\" [Lin Xiuyuan] smiled wickedly, refusing to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qiu Yinong took out a pair of gloves from her bag and put them on. This action made Chen Ran feel a bit offended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong seemed to know what he was thinking in his heart. She looked him up and down, her eyes practically screaming the words \"Skinny Dog\" [weakling].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain was still falling. In the Secret Room, the five stopped speaking, all waiting for the rain to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the rain became lighter and lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the rain stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong hopped lightly, then kicked Chen Ran with one foot. She was rebounded away by Chen Ran's Liar-Slayer, falling through the air in a parabolic arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She propped herself up on the ground with one hand, as if landing on cotton, bouncing her entire body up. She did a forward somersault, then charged towards the middle surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi also attacked Long Hui the instant the rain stopped, using the Slayer's Sanctuary protection mechanism to send his body flying backward towards the middle at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his landing posture wasn't as silky-smooth as Qiu Yinong's, causing him to be half a beat slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching helplessly as Qiu Yinong stepped onto the middle surface first, he knew that Qiu Yinong would stand in the middle of the surface to block his position, preventing him from stepping onto it. If it were two people, it would be fine; they could walk onto the surface from the left and right directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then use their positioning to let another person enter the surface, but unfortunately...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hui had to go check the second surface at the bottom, so he wouldn't be able to come over in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran watched this scene, feeling a bit guilty. Fortunately, he hadn't tried to show off just now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1395,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","d19a720fbab17ff80d34389e8fbc7e32539da1b19799c7f477a7913bafe7a0e8","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-196","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-194",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
