Chapter 223: Meteorite Mirage (5)

Chen Ran silently retreated two steps, carefully looking at Tong Fei and Feng Xiao.

He discovered that Tong Fei stood in place, seemingly not daring to move, while Feng Xiao was roughly the same as before.

Feng Xiao saw Tong Fei's abnormality and wanted to step forward to ask. However, just as his hand was about to touch Tong Fei's shoulder, he was bounced away by a mysterious force and smashed heavily against the wall.

Chen Ran was shocked, the corners of Diwu Zeyi's mouth twitched, and Feng Xiao groaned in pain.

Tong Fei looked at the Gun close at hand and wanted to go take it, but having been hit by [A Single Leaf as a Boat], her walking was unsteady and swaying.

Chen Ran made three steps into two, trotted forward, and picked a Gun from the pile of Guns.

Grasping the initiative again, Chen Ran sometimes pondered and sometimes frowned: "Are you guys... still the original batch of people?"

"Diwu Zeyi, you would rather stab yourself than walk. Tong Fei doesn't dare to walk. As for Feng Xiao, your acting skills are slightly exaggerated; you probably also want to injure yourself to avoid walking and having people see the clues. I feel like you guys seem to have been hit by some kind of witchcraft."

Feng Xiao: "..."

Tong Fei caught the keyword: "Are you saying Diwu Zeyi stabbed his own thigh?"

"That's right, didn't I already say it just now... No, it seems you guys really aren't the original batch of people!" Chen Ran was as if his fur exploded, pointing the muzzle at the three in panic.

Tong Fei ignored him, and instead stared fixedly at Diwu Zeyi: "In other words, you appeared in the plot one step ahead. You are not Diwu Zeyi. Are you Tong Fei or Chen Ran?"

"What do you mean?" Diwu Zeyi lit a Cigarette, a dazzling smile hanging at the corners of his mouth.

"Right now it can be confirmed that this Chen Ran is an NPC, and the three of us are all players. If Chen Ran is among you, I remember previously the Ninth True Self Skill possessor said that Chen Ran's Skill can decipher Skills. Let's set up a Future Lie; have one person provide a lie to first decipher these few Skills!"

"Oh? Who provides the lie?" Feng Xiao also lit a Cigarette and asked smilingly.

"Rock-paper-scissors. Whoever loses will provide the lie. The other two people cannot Judge the person who provides the lie, nor can they tell who the person providing the lie is to the player who hasn't arrived at the plot yet. How about it?"

[Tong Fei] was clear that just now in the chaos someone used a Skill, and it was a player in the station using the Skill.

If this continued, players who drank Meng Po's Soup in the station would constantly be tricked into lies by other players. When that time came, the four of them would have to face over a dozen Skills in the mirage.

This was no joke. Over a dozen Skills, as long as two or three could coordinate with each other, the four would definitely die without a doubt.

Diwu Zeyi looked at Feng Xiao, still smilingly, and asked: "What do you think?"

Feng Xiao thought for a bit: "I think... it's not that troublesome."

The next moment, Feng Xiao drew the Liar-Slayer at his waist. That was a...

Pure white Pistol.

He raised his arm, the muzzle slowly pointing towards...

"Stop stop stop!" Feng Xiao couldn't look handsome for more than three seconds, and saw that Chen Ran was suspected of interrupting his spellcasting. He hurriedly called a stop.

"Try making a move?" Chen Ran's muzzle aimed at Feng Xiao, his tone cold as ice.

This scene made Diwu Zeyi hold his belly in laughter. This was the first time he saw [Chen Ran] with an anxious, speechless, and bewildered expression.

But immediately after, the corners of Feng Xiao's mouth lifted into an arc, still pointing his Gun at the ceiling.

"Liar-Slayer: Eternal Kingdom."

"You lied."

"You are courting death!"

Three Guns were fired almost simultaneously. One shot was using a Skill, one shot was Judging, and one shot was Chen Ran killing Feng Xiao.

Whether it was intentional or intentional, Feng Xiao's Eternal Kingdom was a tiny bit slower.

Tong Fei was shot in the forehead. [Her] brain was in a crashed state.

'Why...'

'Did I...'

'Lie?'

'Which sentence?'

'[You are not Diwu Zeyi]!!'

'Right!'

'Diwu Zeyi can suppress his Mental State at any time, rendering himself immune to Id Tier Skills.'

'In other words...'

'Previously, the person occupying Diwu Zeyi's body definitely wasn't Diwu Zeyi. But through suppressing his Mental State, he let his consciousness return to his own body...'

'Then, the current Diwu Zeyi is the true Diwu Zeyi!!!'

'Fuck you!!!!'

'Do you have to be so disgusting ah ah!'

When the light was restored.

In the Secret Room there were still four people: Chen Ran, Diwu Zeyi, Feng Xiao, and Tong Fei.

When Tong Fei found she had returned to her own body, her pupils shook violently.

'Let me stroke this out.'

'Just now, I occupied Diwu Zeyi's body, but somehow, I was suddenly kicked out of the plot.'

'Why was I kicked out of the plot?'

'Looking from deductions, as long as a player is killed by a mirage NPC, they will be kicked out of the plot.'

'If it's like this, was I killed by a mirage NPC just now?'

'But, looking from the angle just now and the situation at the time, the only one who could kill me was Chen Ran holding a Gun.'

'No!'

'The Chen Ran at that time had the soul of a player in his body. He and I were both players.'

'He could only Judge me. An ordinary Gun couldn't kill me.'

'I didn't lie at that time either. If I lied, I would be dead completely. How could I still appear within the plot?'

'Wait!'

'There is another possibility: The player occupying Chen Ran's body at that time was Diwu Zeyi.'

'Simply because we had all been hit by [Illusion Swap]. Chen Ran couldn't possibly occupy his own body, therefore Chen Ran can be ruled out.'

'Diwu Zeyi is a Three-Star player, who can circumvent Id Tier Skills by suppressing his Mental State.'

'Then...'

'What happened just now should be: Diwu Zeyi, occupying Chen Ran's body, forcefully suppressed his Mental State the instant he stepped into the Meteorite's radiation range, letting his soul return to his own body and squeezing me out. And Chen Ran's body, which originally should have had a player's soul in it, no longer had one, so I filled this vacancy. Thus, I was killed by the python manufactured by the Meteorite.'

'Just now the Secret Room went dark, and I also heard the words Eternal Kingdom in the chaos.'

'That explains that the two god-tier pitters, Diwu Zeyi and Chen Ran, tricked the lie out of Feng Xiao's soul. The real Feng Xiao died!'

'Summary: Feng Xiao is dead completely. Chen Ran's Eternal Kingdom can decipher Skills. In other words, we no longer have the situation of different souls occupying different bodies. And Feng Xiao can only be a mirage NPC, not possibly a player.'

With this understanding, Tong Fei looked at Diwu Zeyi and Chen Ran, becoming vigilant.

"You guys... If you have already finished off Feng Xiao, it should be time to rest, right? Let's crack this Secret Room first!"

"You ask him." Diwu Zeyi looked towards Chen Ran, who was holding a Gun.

The Gun-holding Chen Ran frowned: "What exactly are you guys doing, and who are you?"

Tong Fei was speechless. Still pretending at this point, really taking everyone for fools?

"Chen Ran, you..."

"Hold it. Please call me Dr. Chen!"

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

'No, is this NPC of yours here to be funny? Do you want me to give you an award ah?'

Look, when Tong Fei heard these words, she immediately wanted to understand the crux of it.
