Chapter 238: Twin Pavilions Station (2)

~7 min read 1,326 words

'Wanting to satisfy: People who wouldn't lie in front of me, lying in front of me.'

'Then there is only one answer.'

'These two are both not players. Is it similar to that kind of Meteorite Mirage again?'

'No.'

'At Wangchuan Station, a Meteorite Mirage already appeared. Any player who comes to The Tunnel can deduce this point.'

'Twin Pavilions?'

...

Diwu Zeyi stood on the left side of The Tunnel.

He saw that in the middle of The Tunnel, as well as on the right side of The Tunnel, there was a mass of black shadow each.

He came to the middle of The Tunnel. As soon as he walked close, he heard the [bzzt bzzt bzzt] sound of a Lighter.

'Whose Lighter ran out of fuel?'

'If I go over, for the black shadow in the middle, would it count as nicotine salvation?'

About one meter away from the black shadow.

He saw clearly that person's appearance...

It was Chen Ran.

Chen Ran irritably pried open the iron piece on the outside of the Lighter and pulled the valve opening to the maximum, yet still couldn't strike a fire. Seeing Diwu Zeyi arrive was as if he saw...

The god in charge of nicotine!

Diwu Zeyi lit Chen Ran's Cigarette. The two sat on the track, smoking puff by puff.

"I feel you have something to say?" Diwu Zeyi said indifferently.

"Why ask that?"

"Just now, at the station, Gao Sheng provided a lie for you, making you successfully use Eternal Kingdom, but you didn't make Gao Sheng discard the opportunity to Judge himself."

"In other words, if Gao Sheng wants to use [Flowery Language], you can't stop him."

(Key point linking to the previous chapter)

"So, I think you should have done it deliberately. Since you already understand the essence of Gao Sheng's Skill, and relying on the fact that you won't have a lie tricked out in a cognitive mirage."

"Therefore, I think you are planning to give Gao Sheng a... to Gao Sheng it is an Unknown Lie, but to you it is definitely a truth that couldn't be any truer."

"Let me think. You previously said that before you died you hadn't violated Criminal Law."

"Then, the answer is vividly portrayed. The so-called [Unknown Lie] you plan to give Gao Sheng should be: Before I died, I hadn't violated Criminal Law."

"Gao Sheng will firmly believe you are lying, and will lift [Flowery Language], and then you two will establish a Future Lie to join hands to deal with me."

Having said that, Diwu Zeyi saw Chen Ran widen his eyes, staring fixedly at him, and his hand also unconsciously reached towards his waist.

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

'What does this mean?'

'He judged that I am lying?'

'I didn't lie!'

'In the words I just said, the front part is narration, the back part is deduction, and I also performed an Avoidance of Lying regarding the deduction.'

'The question comes, which sentence was it that made him feel I was lying?'

'It can only be the narration part.'

[Just now, at the station, Gao Sheng provided a lie for you, making you successfully use Eternal Kingdom, but you didn't make Gao Sheng discard the opportunity to Judge himself.]

'It's this sentence!'

'More accurately it is: [You didn't make Gao Sheng discard the opportunity to Judge himself]?'

'If it were the first half, under circumstances where Chen Ran didn't use Eternal Kingdom, he wouldn't be able to confirm he himself escaped the cognitive mirage.'

'Therefore, it could only be this sentence.'

'But, I am immune to [Flowery Language] and my cognition won't be tampered with. I can be certain that what Chen Ran thinks is a lie is the truth.'

'But the problem is, why would he have the impulse to Judge me?'

Diwu Zeyi expressed his lack of understanding. However, based on Chen Ran's characteristic of loving to act, he felt this should be Chen Ran's fake move.

Chen Ran withdrew his hand and smoked his Cigarette with his head down.

'I can be certain, Diwu Zeyi definitely lied just now!'

'At the station, Gao Sheng provided a lie for me, and I used Eternal Kingdom. But when I confirmed I broke away from the cognitive mirage, I made Gao Sheng establish a Future Lie: When using his Skill he cannot discard his lie from just now.'

(Key point linking to the chapter before last)

'At that time, Diwu Zeyi was also present, and should also know that I abolished Gao Sheng's opportunity to discard Judging himself to use his Skill.'

'Why did he lie?'

'Moreover, Diwu Zeyi couldn't possibly be stupid enough to lie in front of me, nor could he possibly make this kind of low-level mistake.'

'A Deceiver's Tongue?'

'How was the Deceiver's Tongue manufactured?'

The two fell silent.

At this moment, Diwu Zeyi also increasingly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't articulate it either.

'Suppose Chen Ran's move just now wasn't fake, but he truly wanted to Judge me?'

He thought for a bit, and also organized his wording in his heart, pointing at the black shadow on the right side of The Tunnel.

"Let's make a bet. Who do you think that mass of black shadow is?"

Once these words came out, Chen Ran's expression changed again and again. This kind of expression was exactly captured by Diwu Zeyi. The two fell silent again.

Diwu Zeyi got up. Just as he wanted to leave, Chen Ran called out to stop him: "Leave a light."

Leaving behind an ordinary Lighter, Diwu Zeyi walked towards the right side of The Tunnel.

The black shadow seemed very afraid of someone approaching.

Seeing a black shadow coming towards him, this black shadow took off running, running further and further away.

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

'It should be Gao Sheng.'

'He is afraid of me.'

'Simply because, if he used his Skill and ultimately joined hands with Chen Ran wanting to trick out my lie, just as I deduced just now.'

'When a black shadow approaches, he thinks it's me having seen through his and Chen Ran's joint effort.'

'Believing I am coming to Judge him!'

'This is interesting.'

'I am immune to his Skill, which means as long as he uses his Skill I will know.'

'Then the question comes, what on earth is going on with this bizarre logical circle?'

'My memory: Gao Sheng didn't use his Skill in The Tunnel.'

'Chen Ran's memory: Gao Sheng abolished the opportunity for self-judgment at the station.'

'Gao Sheng's memory: He [tricked] Chen Ran's lie out, and joined hands with Chen Ran.'

'The three of us, however, have three different kinds of memories. Why is this?'

Suddenly.

Diwu Zeyi seemed to have thought of something, his body trembling slightly. He seemed to be...

Afraid?!

'It definitely is!'

'This is definitely some high-Star Instance, or even the side plot of an Eight or Nine-Star Instance!'

'No wonder, throughout the entire Instance, there are so many side plots, and they are very messy. It turns out it's only a prerequisite Instance for a high-Star Instance!'

'In other words, after killing the BOSS and clearing the entire Instance, one will obtain an admission ticket to a high-Star Instance...'

'Since it's a prerequisite Instance for a high-Star Instance, there couldn't possibly be that kind of decryption that only exists in high-Star or prerequisite high-Star Instances, right?'

'This is troublesome now!'

'A Deceiver's Tongue has already been automatically generated. Even I cannot confirm when the Deceiver's Tongue will be broken.'

'Fuck! Is this the treatment of a True Self Player? It's simply Hell-level.'

'I need to be careful when speaking next. If I let the other... crack the Deceiver's Tongue, if I speak like just now again...'

'It will be judged as lying!'

'However, the most dangerous person seems to not be me, but Chen Ran. After all, he has never encountered this kind of Instance.'
