Chapter 236: Halftime Break, And Bombing Mindsets Along the Way

Time Paradox.

The gap in plot construction.

Eternal Kingdom.

Qiu Yinong's message.

Sobering Agent.

And the three layers of Psychological Defense Lines.

Just now, the behavior of tossing the Glass Bead was also just his disguise. He was actually waiting for the Sobering Agent's side effects to end.

Various verifications and deductions...

Only then did Chen Ran confirm that he had already returned to reality, and had already used Eternal Kingdom, cracking the black and fat player's Skill.

But, just like before he died, how everyone predicted the decline of the US: Launching a wrong war in a place where war shouldn't be launched.

Would make the US walk towards decline.

By the same logic.

A top-tier Three-Star Player is very strong, but plot construction is his weakness, and it was also Chen Ran's strong suit. This was launching a wrong war in a location where war shouldn't be launched.

Although Diwu Zeyi could suppress his Mental State, and wouldn't have his Mental State damaged due to failure.

However.

From the moment he launched it, it was destined to be impossible to succeed.

At the same time, it also made Chen Ran realize that even a top-tier Three-Star Player was not all-powerful; everyone had weaknesses.

"Are you afraid?"

"My Skill level is higher than yours. I can pit a Three-Star to death while at One-Star, and there are also players from the future interfering with me..."

"So, you are afraid?"

"In your heart, has the thought that you might lose to me ever arisen?"

Hearing this, Diwu Zeyi closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his heart was like tranquil water.

Chen Ran's shoulders were trembling. His hand also rested on his forehead, and laughter gradually sounded.

"I told you so. Three-Star Players are not invincible. If it's like this, I think it's truly possible for me to kill you!"

"Right, why don't you guess, will Qiu Yinong and the BOSS secretly plot something?"

"Oh, you can hold the thought of perishing together and Judge Qiu Yinong."

"But, tell me, a Newbie with so much potential like me, is it possible for me to summit the highest point of the entire Hell in the future?"

"If the mechanism of Hell is to create an Omniscient and Omnipotent god, I will definitely resurrect Qiu Yinong. But do you think I would resurrect you?"

Chen Ran was doing a preemptive strike. Previously, Diwu Zeyi had revealed and bestowed goodwill upon Chen Ran. In his view, if the final outcome of Hell was to create an Omniscient and Omnipotent god, then Chen Ran, remembering the favor, might resurrect him, this former opponent.

And now, using Diwu Zeyi's speculation on Hell's mechanism, Chen Ran conversely came to give him a preemptive strike.

The general idea was: If you dare to perish together with Qiu Yinong, if the mechanism of Hell truly creates an Omniscient and Omnipotent god, then I will definitely not resurrect you!

Even though neither of them was sure about the final outcome of Hell.

But, standing from a rational angle, if a situation where Diwu Zeyi had a lie tricked out occurred in this Instance, if he wanted his death to have value, he wouldn't hold the thought of perishing together and go Judge Qiu Yinong.

This story tells us that trump cards cannot be casually revealed. Otherwise, upon encountering a Shameless scum like Chen Ran, one will only have the lot of being pinched and controlled.

Hearing this, Diwu Zeyi didn't have much expression.

Conversely, Gao Sheng...

'No way, these two are obviously in a situation of fighting until one dies. Logically speaking, from the duel just now, they are both high-end players. Yet unexpectedly, they also play this kind of vulgar method of talking trash to bomb mindsets?'

'Dirty, too fucking dirty.'

However, he still overestimated a certain someone's moral character that had fallen into the mud.

See, when Chen Ran saw Diwu Zeyi choose to suppress his Mental State, he turned his head to look at Gao Sheng.

"He and I come from the Instance's future timeline. Since we can come to the Instance's past timeline, tell me, is there a possibility that you can also..."

"Go to the future timeline?"

"So, I think you should have multiple choices. For example: whoever holds the advantage in the subsequent duel, you can choose to help them expand that advantage."

Gao Sheng widened his eyes. He clearly realized that after Chen Ran finished this sentence, Diwu Zeyi would stir with killing intent.

Scaring him into... hurriedly speaking a Future Lie: "I, Gao Sheng, will only help Diwu Zeyi deal with Chen Ran."

"A Future Lie? But I'm very curious, do you think if I die, Diwu Zeyi will let you go?"

"Can I understand it as, whether you help him or not, it's an outcome of certain death."

"If the outcome is the same, then that explains you actually can either help or not help."

"If I were Diwu Zeyi, at this time I would feel you are uncontrollable."

Gao Sheng fiercely glared at him. If it weren't for this being Hell, he definitely...

Would give Chen Ran a kowtow, begging him to shut up quickly. His spirit was already overdrawn to this degree, yet he was still here sowing discord.

Seeing the goal achieved.

Chen Ran no longer wasted his breath. It was simply because he was truly disgusted to the extreme by this [Flowery Language]. Burying a seed in Gao Sheng's heart in advance might have a miraculous effect.

However...

"Rest assured, if you choose to help me later, I won't Judge that Future Lie of yours from just now."

'OK! Great success!'

Gao Sheng: "..."

He looked at Diwu Zeyi: "Do all of you high-end players act like this...?"

The word [Shameless] he didn't dare to say.

Diwu Zeyi thought for a bit, nodding in strong agreement: "For survival, naturally one must resort to all conceivable means."

"Him messing with your mindset exactly explains that he should be very afraid of your Skill."

"I suggest you wave your Liar-Slayer in front of him from time to time, also messing with his mindset. He might be even more nervous than you."

Chen Ran: "..."

Diwu Zeyi continued his output: "Moreover, he also doesn't know whether you had a lie tricked out by me just now. If so, was one tricked out, or were multiple tricked out? Were any lies reserved in advance for using your Skill?"

Chen Ran: "..."

Gao Sheng looked at Chen Ran, and then looked at Diwu Zeyi. For a moment, he actually found it somewhat difficult to determine between these two, who was more Shameless.

'Dirty, too fucking dirty!'

'But, I like it.'

Thus, Gao Sheng drew out his Liar-Slayer, waving it in front of Chen Ran: "My Skill can make Chen Ran forget I used my Skill. Tsk tsk tsk, then the question comes, how should Chen Ran determine whether I have used my Skill?"

Chen Ran: What the hell are you showing off for? Big bro, do you know your own situation?

Seeing Chen Ran's weird expression, Gao Sheng also realized that he was the person among the three who was most likely to die...

'What the hell am I showing off for?'

The three fell silent again.

Although the two could leave early and head to the next station, but with Chen Ran not leaving, just decrypting alone was meaningless. After all, what Diwu Zeyi wanted was to kill Chen Ran during the decryption.

This wait was two and a half hours.

Chen Ran once again flicked away his Cigarette butt, shook his head, and confirmed his spirit had recovered enough.

He revealed a mouthful of big white teeth to the two.

"Let's go! To the next station!"
