To broaden sources of income, you have to compete with other companies for market interests. For the losers, the fates of tens, hundreds, or thousands of employees in the whole company are rewritten. They might become impoverished, or they might thereby resort to extremes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reduce expenditures, the best method is to extend employees' working hours while keeping salaries unchanged. Simply put...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unpaid overtime!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, employees' bodies and minds will be dragged down. When they can no longer competently perform their work, they are \"optimized\" out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The company I founded in life was a gaming company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be even more malicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, after a game has been operating for a certain period, we would optimize the appearance and modeling of the game characters. But not a positive optimization; instead, we would optimize the appearances to be uglier. This way, the skins in the game could sell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gacha-type games were even simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tweak the probabilities in the backend, or lock the drop rate of a certain card for a player, making the player more and more obsessed the more they pulled. When the player finally woke up, they wouldn't even know how many 648-yuan packs they had recharged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capital is the root of all evil. During my pursuit of profit in life, I certainly indirectly did many bad things. After death, I naturally went to Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I find it very strange. Chen Ran shouldn't have committed any crimes in his life, yet he obtained a True Self Skill. Although I indirectly did bad things in life, I didn't excessively violate the Criminal Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for things like murder, I can only say \"heh.\" I would use legitimate legal channels to send my opponents to their deaths...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I came to this interesting conclusion: When players go to Hell, the Skills they obtain are related to their sins in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more [kind-hearted] a person is, the higher the level of the Skill they obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this guess, I feel the probability of Hell being a virtual world is zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's more like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the countless people with heavy sins, selecting relatively [kind-hearted] people to reshape the order of Hell. Simply put...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Hell's repair mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the rumors about the Ghost Whisperers and the Liar-Slayer Alliance, I actually think that the very first batch of players was most likely the batch that broke the order of reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned Hell into chaos, so Hell began to self-repair. From among the players arriving in Hell, it selected [kind-hearted] people to be given high-level Skills, letting these [kind] people repair the order of reincarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is just my guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I personally feel the probability of this guess is less than 10%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, I am an atheist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, understanding the truth is my only goal for surviving in Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To me, there's nothing more tempting than exploring and uncovering the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This path didn't seem very easy to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Case in point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the novice tutorial Instance, this was mine and Chen Ran's fourth Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And we encountered...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three-Star players. Their level of terror was despair-inducing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if they had a god's-eye view, knowing everything. From the First Secret Chamber until now, Chen Ran had laid out plans nearly ten times, and only succeeded once after deducing an Unknown Information Deception, screwing Dorje to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt that Chen Ran was almost at the end of his wits. This exhaustion of tricks came from his own flaws. After all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had not yet undergone Heart Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his close-quarters encounter tactics had already been seen through by the Three-Star players...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it was time for me to take the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am different from Chen Ran. If there was no long-term planning, my company in life would have long been swallowed by other capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I am very good at...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long-term planning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the first patient bed, and then being teleported from the patient bed to this Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I noticed that everyone's bodies were continuously having blood drawn while in the patient beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this continued, sooner or later a situation would arise where everyone would be unable to think normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unable to think normally]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words must be highlighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I started to deduce backwards. Heart Cultivation relied on Mental State to suppress situations. The so-called Mental State was nothing more than reaching a realm of free control after the emotional threshold was broken through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, emotions have a valve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This valve cannot be controlled by players without Heart Cultivation, but players with Heart Cultivation can open and close the valve at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what does opening and closing the valve rely on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I don't know, this must be related to thought. Since the ultimate consequence of this Secret Room is [unable to think normally].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does it mean that the Three-Star players will be unable to normally open and close their emotional valves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will be unable to suppress their emotions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this guess, I knew I had found the Three-Star players' breakthrough point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a problem here, which was the existence of the Instance Boss. Once I lied in the Third Secret Chamber, the BOSS would Judge me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I had to quietly lay out my plans while deceiving everyone, yet I couldn't lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I learned that this Secret Room would result in players being unable to think normally due to continuous blood drawing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew my opportunity had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I deliberately revealed a flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make Chen Ran ask if I was anemic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really was anemic in life. High-intensity work, plus an obsession with losing weight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The simplest way to lose weight is starving yourself.] If I have the chance, I want to beat the person who said this to death to their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this phrase that almost got me killed in this Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we women seem to have an innate resistance to blood loss causing the brain to be unable to think normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, by using [anemia] to extricate myself, I left myself a space for thinking that wouldn't be suspected by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found a reasonable excuse, letting Chen Ran deal with the Three-Star players and the BOSS, while I quietly thought about how to lay out my plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Unable to think normally]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then my layout must be centered on this point. Therefore, what I needed to do...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was to direct all the results of my layout towards the Secret Room change of [unable to think normally]. But when the time came, I might also experience a situation where I was unable to think normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I had to lay out my plans in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I envisioned many plans in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until I found that everyone's stamina was getting worse and worse, I then knew the Center surface would become the point of contention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after the first Time Reset in this Secret Room, taking advantage of the fact that the Secret Room was too large, I spoke the Skill incantation, reserving the incantation for the next use of Wheel of Time. When Chen Ran told me to throw away the Liar-Slayer, I deliberately tossed the Liar-Slayer not far away...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Chen Ran supported me and walked towards the Center surface, we would definitely pass by the spot where I designed to drop the Liar-Slayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was my time to perform...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran supported me. I guided Chen Ran towards the location of the Liar-Slayer, then unexpectedly broke free from Chen Ran and stepped on the Liar-Slayer. Chen Ran also seemed to understand my intention and immediately came up to touch me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ejected by my Slayer's Sanctuary mechanism, flying backward at top speed onto the Center surface...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I quickly bent down to pick up the Gun. However, I mistakenly underestimated the Three-Star players' resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they realized that Chen Ran used the Slayer's Sanctuary protection mechanism to occupy the Center surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hui and Diwu Zeyi actually pointed their muzzles at me without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to Judge me!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar-Slayer: Wheel of Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, I was prepared, while they were caught off guard and their reactions really couldn't keep up. That was what allowed me to activate my Skill first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time Reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the second timeline, I started to think. The intentions of the two Three-Star players seemed very simple. As long as Chen Ran or I occupied the Center surface, they would Judge me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple. If Chen Ran or I occupied the safe Center surface, one of the two of them would inevitably be unable to step onto the Center surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their stamina couldn't allow them to reach the safe surfaces at the top within the limited time. Therefore, as long as one of us, me or Chen Ran, stepped onto the Center surface, their probability of death was 50%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they would perish together with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's very strange. Why would the two of them definitely perish together with me for a 50% chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were gambling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gambling that I would reset time. Actually, thinking carefully about Long Hui's Future Lie from just now:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In this Secret Room, if Qiu Yinong dares to speak her Skill incantation again, I will definitely Judge her!] It didn't have a time limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I spoke the Skill incantation, he wouldn't be lying if he didn't Judge me. Furthermore, he really did Judge me just now, so this Future Lie of his has already been invalidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, both Three-Star players guessed that I had reserved a Skill incantation during the layout where we screwed Long Hui earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there be such terrifying players?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply flawless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt the powerlessness Chen Ran had when facing the Three-Star players before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We both knew clearly that encountering Three-Star players in this Instance was a hurdle that Chen Ran needed to face, and also a hurdle that I needed to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, Chen Ran seemed to have touched that threshold, successfully screwing Dorje to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Chen Ran's train of thought, I thought about the underlying logic of screwing Three-Star players to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third Time Reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth Time Reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth Time Reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my mind, it was as if a shooting star streaked across the pitch-black night sky, suddenly enlightening me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To kill a Three-Star player, one must use the unknown to conduct Lie-Judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown information in this is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know the North surface is safe, and through the previous Time Resets, I also know the Center surface is safe. But I don't know...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the remaining three surfaces are safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the two Three-Star players, they only know whether the surface they were just standing on is safe...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Three-Star players only know one surface is dangerous, but they don't know exactly which of the remaining four surfaces are dangerous or safe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a possibility that an Unknown Information Deception or an Unknown Deception Kill is hidden within this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth Time Reset. When Chen Ran supported me, I whispered in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"East!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran slightly startled, then took a deep look at the Liar-Slayer not far away. He quickly understood my plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same as before, I broke free from Chen Ran and stepped on the Liar-Slayer. Chen Ran proactively touched me and was rebounded away, but this time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flew backward towards the top East surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he clearly saw the characters on it, he immediately said to me, \"Dangerous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar-Slayer: Wheel of Time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time reset once again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock in my heart was beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are a total of three safe surfaces. The North surface we previously occupied is safe, and the Center surface is also safe. Now it's been confirmed that the top East surface is a dangerous surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the bottom two surfaces, one of them must be a safe surface!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Long Hui and Diwu Zeyi, one of them occupied a safe surface, yet chose to run towards the Center surface!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is this Movie King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hui?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or Diwu Zeyi?\u003C\u002Fp>",2187,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","f16c73eb1dffeb944d600fd30a7db5ba7283e6ed234596099d0ba0d14735beb6","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-205","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-203",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
