Chapter 235: You Are Truly Fucking Cautious!

Time Paradox, a closed-loop psychological logic defense line. There was truly no need to continue.

Diwu Zeyi sighed secretly, signaling the black and fat player to withdraw the Skill.

Seeing the black and fat player not move, Diwu Zeyi said helplessly: "Rest assured, I temporarily won't kill you. After withdrawing the Skill, remember to provide him with a lie. He isn't sure if you've spoken a lie previously, so it's highly likely he won't Judge you."

'During the third layer of mirage, when Chen Ran saw my phantom kill Gao Sheng, he realized that he himself was still in a mirage.'

'This kind of perverted Skill, from universal rationality, I definitely would hold back a trick and give him a hit in the next Secret Room.'

'It also can't be called a mistake. He is a novel author, he knows what kind of plot is reasonable.'

'While I, in terms of plot construction, am equivalent to a Newbie novice.'

'In front of him, this web novel author, it's roughly the same as not wearing clothes.'

'Regardless of what kind of plot I construct, he would always discover the clues.'

'My first duel with him in the true sense, let's just consider it a draw.'

Gao Sheng carefully weighed the logic in Diwu Zeyi's words, confirming that just as he said, he himself couldn't die temporarily.

He felt that he seemed to have Poker Chips for negotiation. After all, at the next station, Diwu Zeyi still needed to use him.

However, when he turned his head and met Diwu Zeyi's eyes, his entire body turned cold.

'I dare to guarantee, as long as I proposed the so-called Poker Chips just now, he would kill me.'

'Right. The Poker Chips I want are nothing more than him not being able to judge my previous lies.'

'But doing it this way, I would have the possibility of defecting to Chen Ran. This is what he is unwilling to see.'

He put away his petty thoughts.

He drew out his Liar-Slayer.

"Liar-Slayer: Flowery Language."

"Withdraw!"

Chen Ran once again returned to reality. He still didn't speak, quietly looking at Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng understood. He cleared his throat. Originally wretched and cowardly, he spoke out:

"Chen Ran, your grandpa is standing right here. You stupid fuck, if you have the ability come kill me ah!"

"Liar-Slayer: Eternal Kingdom."

Almost at the same time he spoke the swear words, Chen Ran drew his Liar-Slayer and spoke the command.

But the strange thing was, the Gun didn't sound.

"What's going on?"

"Don't speak first!" Seeing Gao Sheng had the suspicion of having his next lie tricked out by Chen Ran, Diwu Zeyi voiced out to stop him.

Chen Ran took a deep look at the two of them, and took out his hand that had been kept in his trouser pocket all along.

At the center of his palm was a small black dot.

'First Psychological Defense Line: The black dot symbolizes that I didn't pull the trigger. If the Secret Room turns black, it means it's a hallucination.'

This was his sudden inspiration. Diwu Zeyi fundamentally didn't have time to modify the cognition.

It matched the facts.

Immediately following, Chen Ran pulled the trigger. The platform instantly turned black, and when the light restored.

He fished out his Cigarette Case.

He checked the quantity of Cigarettes inside, confirming it was the same quantity as before he fell into the mirage.

'Second Psychological Defense Line: The quantity of Cigarettes can match. This is the second Psychological Defense Line I confirmed only after firing the gun. Diwu Zeyi also didn't have time to modify the cognition.'

He looked at Gao Sheng again: "The words just now, say them backwards once."

Gao Sheng: "..."

Seeing Gao Sheng not speak, Chen Ran confirmed the third defense line was also not a problem.

Simply put, if Gao Sheng really said them backwards once, then that was a mirage. If Gao Sheng answered saying he didn't want to say it, or answered in other verbal ways...

That was also a mirage.

A normal person, hearing this kind of unreasonable request, would curse at people. But this is Hell, lying is prohibited. Therefore, when normal players heard this kind of unreasonable request, under normal circumstances, they would be very speechless and look at him like looking at an idiot.

The logic within this lay in that Chen Ran didn't know whether Gao Sheng had had a lie tricked out by Diwu Zeyi. Therefore, he wouldn't use a method of gambling his life to Judge Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng, facing a person who couldn't possibly judge him, would not agree to any of his unreasonable requests, nor did he have the obligation to execute them.

These three Psychological Defense Lines of Chen Ran seemingly weren't much, but actually were all nitpicking details.

Before he died, AI image generation couldn't even handle the issue of character fingers in pictures.

How could Diwu Zeyi possibly handle such numerous details within the plot?

However, it wasn't over yet.

Chen Ran fished out a Glass Bead from his bag, tossed it high up, and quietly observed the movement trajectory of the Glass Bead landing.

When the Glass Bead became still, he tossed it high up again, repeating like this.

Quietly waiting.

This scene made Gao Sheng open his mouth wide with a face full of disbelief, turning his head to ask Diwu Zeyi: "No, this bro... is also too careful and cautious, right?"

Both of them knew that Chen Ran doing this was observing the Glass Bead's movement trajectory, quietly making a mark, using this to confirm time hadn't been tampered with.

It was mentioned before, Gao Sheng's Skill had a time limit.

As long as he confirmed time hadn't been tampered with, then wait for a few hours. By that time Gao Sheng's Skill would have long ended, and he could judge whether it was a hallucination through whether memories returned, or if tampered cognition self-repaired.

Let alone Gao Sheng, seeing this scene, even Diwu Zeyi went numb.

'King of Caution ah ah ah ah ah!'

'You are truly fucking cautious!'

'But why do I feel that these are all confusing arrays laid down by the King of Caution? His true deduction to judge whether it's a mirage should only be known by him alone, and we can't guess it.'

About half an hour passed.

Chen Ran casually tossed the Sobering Agent in his pocket onto the ground. Inside it was empty.

Gao Sheng: "..."

Diwu: "..."

'This is his true intention!'

'This guy really... don't know what words should be used to describe him.'

Especially when seeing that there was still a line of small characters on the Sobering Agent tube, the two of them were both shocked beyond measure.

They only saw that on the Sobering Agent was a string of characters that couldn't form a sentence: [Ka Hua Mo Xi Li Sang Qiu Bu Ba Yu Hao Jin Ti Chu.]

"No way, you even left a mark on the Sobering Agent in advance?"

"No!" Chen Ran dangled his Cigarette: "This was left by Qiu Yinong. I didn't know what was written on it in advance."

Saying so, he pointed at the Sobering Agent: "Because the prerequisite for using the Sobering Agent is under the circumstance that I am hit by a mirage or mental-type Skill, therefore on the 18th Level, she left a passage of text on my Sobering Agent."

"What do you mean? You couldn't possibly be wanting to say this passage of text can let you distinguish reality and virtuality, right?" Gao Sheng had a face full of question marks, unable to understand this kind of operation.

On the contrary, Diwu Zeyi stared at that passage of text for a long time, figuring out the key within it.

"From a certain angle, the content of this passage of text has no meaning. But from the angle of having been hit by a mirage, the meaning of this passage of text becomes extraordinarily huge."

"If I don't guess wrong, even you didn't know what she wanted to express."

"Correct!" Chen Ran gave him a thumbs up: "Simply put, AI cannot explain humans' inexplicable behaviors."

"You guys can tamper with my cognition, equivalent to the AI constructing the plot."

"Then, in my cognition, the text on the Sobering Agent should be a passage of normal and grammatically smooth text. After all, I didn't know what she wrote in advance."

"Moreover, I have Eternal Kingdom. As long as I confirm I myself am in reality, I can utilize the Skill to pull her back to reality. Therefore, I wouldn't leave text on her Sobering Agent, nor would I go deduce what she wrote."

"As a result, just as you guys saw, she left a passage of meaningless text. That can prove that I have already escaped the plot scope constructed by the [AI]."

The two: "..."

'Great, there are two Kings of Caution!'
