Chapter 237: Twin Pavilions Station (1)

~8 min read 1,465 words

Ahead of Wangchuan Road was The Tunnel.

The three walked into The Tunnel, only feeling heavy fog filling the air, with very low visibility.

The further they walked forward, the blurrier it became.

Not knowing how long they had walked.

Chen Ran felt very, very sleepy, hurriedly lighting a Cigarette to refresh his mind.

However, when the Lighter was lit, he suddenly remembered something and looked left and right.

The traces of Diwu Zeyi and the black and fat player were not seen.

Looking all around.

He discovered that on both the left and right sides of The Tunnel, there was a mass of black shadow, while Chen Ran's position was exactly on the tracks in the middle of The Tunnel.

But, he felt it was strange. Why were these two separated so far apart?

Carrying suspicion, Chen Ran walked towards the left side of The Tunnel. The dense fog was very thick. It wasn't until he was about one meter away from the black shadow that he clearly saw who it was.

The black and fat player!

Seeing him, the black and fat player smiled and signaled for him to sit down. Chen Ran stared at the black and fat player. Perhaps influenced by the previous phantom, he wasn't sure whether the black and fat player's character was actually free and easy, or as timid as a mouse. After all, he didn't know whether Diwu Zeyi and the black and fat player had secretly plotted anything while he was in the mirage.

Chen Ran sat on the steps about half a meter away from the black and fat player. Suddenly, a lit Lighter was handed in front of him.

After lighting Chen Ran's Cigarette, the black and fat player also took a deep drag of the Cigarette dangling at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't you find it strange? Your Lighter was out of fuel long ago."

"Otherwise, when you were in the Meteorite Mirage, how could you possibly look for Diwu Zeyi to borrow a light?"

Hearing this, Chen Ran's pupils abruptly shrank. Not waiting for his reaction, the black and fat player continued speaking: "Tell me, is there a possibility that you are still within my [Flowery Language]?"

Chen Ran laughed coldly: "If it's as you say, just now I have already had a lie tricked out by you two, then I should be dead right now."

"No." The black and fat player shook his head: "Diwu Zeyi's Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers can take control of my Skill. But if it's like this, then the person using [Flowery Language] on you should actually be Diwu Zeyi. For him to want to tamper with your cognition, he would inevitably speak lies."

"Simply put, he said [Your cognition will all be discarded], but in fact you would still retain two cognitions."

"Then he lied."

"Things like this, utilizing [Flowery Language] to tamper with your cognition definitely involves speaking lies. But with Diwu Zeyi's caution, he definitely wouldn't actively speak a lie."

"Therefore, he would first trick my lie out, and then make me tamper with your cognition."

"And for me, wanting to shake off the threat of Diwu Zeyi's Judgment, what I have to do is first construct multiple mirages. Within the mirages, I trick your lie out, and do it under circumstances where Diwu Zeyi doesn't know."

"Then, I will be able to join hands with you to trick Diwu Zeyi's lie out."

"Therefore, a lie has already been tricked out of you by me. What we have to do next is establish a Future Lie, and then together trick Diwu Zeyi's lie out."

Chen Ran smoked his Cigarette, his eyes having flickering expressions, not knowing what he was thinking about.

His hand unconsciously reached towards his Liar-Slayer, but after thinking about it, he gave up again.

"First, in the Meteorite Mirage, only Diwu Zeyi and I survived. How did you know about the matter of the Lighter?"

"Second, the one who handed me a light was the NPC Diwu Zeyi in the Meteorite Mirage."

"Third, Diwu Zeyi is a First Realm of Lingtai Player. He is immune to your Skill. You fundamentally cannot accomplish tricking out my lie while also making him completely unaware."

"Fourth, the text left by Qiu Yinong on the Sobering Agent makes me completely certain that I myself have already broken away from [Flowery Language]."

"You couldn't possibly think that because I dread your Skill, you could utilize this point to trick out my Future Lie, right?"

After Chen Ran finished speaking, the black and fat player fell silent.

Immediately following, he turned his head to look at Chen Ran, revealing a bizarre smile.

"According to what you say, I have already lied just now. You can Judge me."

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes. His hand once again reached towards his Liar-Slayer, yet still gave up.

"Oh right. This is dense fog. You are unsure whether I have used my Skill within the dense fog. You are afraid."

"Hahaha, the decryption environment of this station is simply custom-made for me."

"Chen Ran!!!"

"Only by cooperating with me is it possible for you to survive! Hahaha!"

Seeing his crazed look, Chen Ran gradually had some speculation in his heart.

He got up, walked to the middle of The Tunnel, and looked at the black shadow on the right side of The Tunnel.

'He should be Diwu Zeyi.'

Thus, he walked towards the right side. Also when nearing the black shadow by about one meter, he saw clearly that this person was exactly Diwu Zeyi.

Diwu Zeyi was also smoking a Cigarette.

"Sit."

Seeing Chen Ran sit down, Diwu Zeyi's expression was weird: "You went to the left side just now, you couldn't have seen Gao Sheng, right?"

"Gao Sheng is that black and fat player."

Chen Ran nodded.

Seeing him nod, Diwu Zeyi rarely blanked out for a few seconds. Immediately following, his expression was solemn.

"When I discovered that The Tunnel was filled with dense fog, I had already..."

"Killed him!!!"

"So, just who was it that you saw just now? What did he say to you?"

A terrifying emotion was spreading, lingering in the hearts of the two people.

In Diwu Zeyi's view, Chen Ran had no need to lie, nor could he be stupid enough to actively speak a lie to trick out his own lie.

"Reason?" Chen Ran asked.

"Very simple. In a tunnel with such low visibility, if you are hit by his [Flowery Language], it's highly likely you will join hands with him to trick out my lie."

"For example, if Gao Sheng doesn't die, the current me would be unable to determine whether the you at this moment has had a lie tricked out by him."

"Should I Judge you?"

"Therefore, to me, you are in a superimposed state of whether you lied or not. If you use Eternal Kingdom, I would also be unable to determine whether you are discarding the opportunity to Judge yourself, or discarding the opportunity to Judge Gao Sheng. This would cause an impact on my lie-judgment of you."

"Rather than having the possibility of having a lie tricked out by you two, it would be better to kill Gao Sheng, this unstable factor, in advance."

Chen Ran silently smoked his Cigarette.

'First, Diwu Zeyi couldn't be stupid enough to lie in front of me.'

'From a logical angle, if Gao Sheng wants to survive, he must trick Diwu Zeyi's lie out, but he is not his match.'

'Therefore, Gao Sheng would first trick my lie out, and then coerce me to go trick Diwu Zeyi.'

'But, to me, as long as Gao Sheng dares to use his Skill, I can be certain that he definitely spoke a lie, then...'

'I would immediately use Eternal Kingdom. Gao Sheng's Skill would be instantly lifted. He fundamentally wouldn't have time to tamper with my cognition.'

'Conclusion: This is fundamentally not within the cognitive mirage of [Flowery Language]. I fundamentally haven't been hit by his Skill in The Tunnel.'

'Conclusion: Gao Sheng is lying.'

'Using this conclusion to reverse-deduce, Diwu Zeyi had fundamentally no need to kill Gao Sheng.'

'After all, he is immune to his Skill. Upon discovering Gao Sheng using his Skill, he would run towards me at the first moment, observing whether I had a lie tricked out by Gao Sheng.'

'Moreover, he should also know that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for me to have a lie tricked out by Gao Sheng in a cognitive mirage. Only under certain special conditions is it possible.'

'Conclusion: Diwu Zeyi had no need to kill Gao Sheng.'

'Conclusion: Diwu Zeyi lied.'

'This is interesting.'

'Two people who couldn't possibly lie both lied in front of me...'
