(For specifics see Chapter 210, won't pad the word count here.)

Diwu Zeyi continued pondering.

'Since the BOSS is unable to come down.'

'Then, is there a possibility that Qiu Yinong came down?'

Thinking up to this point, Diwu Zeyi hurriedly looked at his Watch to check the time.

Staring at it for fully ten minutes, only then did he confirm the effect of Wheel of Time didn't exist.

After all, Qiu Yinong's Wheel of Time can only reset five minutes of time.

'In other words, in here, Qiu Yinong's Skill fundamentally doesn't exist.'

'Qiu Yinong also didn't come down.'

'What am I thinking, Qiu Yinong's Skill is unable to resurrect already dead players.'

'When all answers are eliminated, then the answer that isn't an answer also becomes the true answer.'

'This Gao Sheng is exactly the BOSS!'

'I said previously [in this space I encountered another living Gao Sheng].'

'This sentence...'

'Won't be judged as a lie. After all, from a logical perspective, the BOSS cannot possibly come down. Him coming down now would also become a Deceiver's Tongue. I am the one deceived by the Deceiver's Tongue; saying Gao Sheng is still alive doesn't constitute lying.'

'Moreover, I eliminated all possibilities. The BOSS coming down can only be caused by the Instance's mechanics. Therefore what I deduced is the Instance. Lying fundamentally doesn't exist.'

'In other words, whether from the perspective of the Deceiver's Tongue or from the perspective of reasoning the Instance, I won't be judged as lying.'

Thinking of this, Diwu Zeyi should logically be at ease, but that inexplicable terror in his heart instead grew thicker and thicker.

Chen Ran fished out his Cigarette Case, wanting to take a Cigarette to smoke, but it was completely empty inside.

Seeing Diwu Zeyi pull out a Cigarette, a thin Cigarette handed over, Chen Ran thought for a moment and didn't go take it, but instead poured out the things in his bag all at once.

Among the things were five empty Cigarette Cases. Chen Ran opened and checked them one by one. When checking the third empty Cigarette Case, he discovered there was a Cigarette inside.

Taking out the Cigarette.

Chen Ran's expression was heavy.

He couldn't help but recall the various things before dying.

And also recalled the various things after death.

Past events were like a white steed flitting past a crevice, flashing through his mind scene by scene.

He thought of the panic when facing the Two-Star Player Lin Jiabei in the last Instance.

He thought of the calmness when once again facing a Two-Star Player in this Instance.

He thought of the despair when facing Three-Star Players in this Instance.

He thought of the difficulty of pitting Dorje and Long Hui to death in this Instance.

Now, only one person remained among the Three-Stars. This person was also the hardest to deal with among the three Three-Star Players.

He didn't know whether his plan had succeeded, nor did he know later...

Who would die.

But he knew, right now the three Diwu Zeyis had already all returned to their original spaces.

They were unable to utilize spatial transmission to erase the lies on their persons.

This is the only opportunity.

Once missed.

It's gone.

This game seemingly had already arrived at the match point, the final showdown.

He couldn't help but think of Yuan Shao.

Fierce in appearance but timid in heart, fond of scheming but lacking decisiveness, cherishing his life when doing great deeds, but forgetting his life when seeing small profits.

He didn't want to be Yuan Shao.

Bet, this word, shouldn't appear on rational players like them.

But, this layout, for both people, both possessed the Wallfacer attribute.

Simply put, this layout was laid out standing from the perspective of the Instance Boss.

Needing to both trick out Diwu Zeyi's lie.

And trick out Chen Ran's lie.

The key point lay in whether Chen Ran could realize he himself was currently being... by his own layout...

Lie-tricked!

Therefore, he fundamentally didn't know when this layout began, nor did he know whether this layout was already proceeding.

He could only bet!

There were no other choices.

Either Diwu Zeyi dies.

Or Chen Ran dies.

A way of retreat didn't exist.

Pinching the Cigarette between two fingers, fishing out a Lighter from his pocket and lighting it, he took a deep drag.

"Going all out?" This operation made the corners of Diwu Zeyi's eyes twitch as he watched.

For a chain smoker, checking empty Cigarette Cases is their last choice, and also the only salvation when out of ammunition and food.

Nicotine's salvation!

'Not good, this guy...'

'Is going to fight me to the death!'

Sure enough, Chen Ran drew his Liar-Slayer and placed it in front of himself, saying indifferently:

"When this Cigarette finishes, I will launch a Judgment against you."

"If successful, you die."

"If failed, I die."

Hearing this, Diwu Zeyi's pupils instantly abruptly shrank, his eyes exhibiting Flickering Expressions. The next moment he drew his Gun, about to fire at Gao Sheng to thereby test whether he himself had spoken a lie.

But...

Gao Sheng had long run away. While these two people were pondering, he had run into the depths of The Tunnel.

"Your reasoning basis?" Diwu Zeyi withdrew his Gun and inquired.

At the same time, he also felt very strange in his heart. This Chen Ran was not a player in the same space as himself. He actually wants to Judge me?

Chen Ran calmly said: "Although we are not players of the same space, do you still remember what Chen Ran said when separating from Qiu Yinong in your original space?"

"He seemed to have asked Qiu Yinong [Do you know how the systems of the protagonists in novels are born?]"

Hearing this, some color was restored in Chen Ran's eyes. He subsequently said: "In my space, before I died, I was invited by Qiu Yinong to write a story background for the new game developed by her company."

"The story background I wrote was: The Four-Dimensional Aliens launched a high tech, using signal coverage on all the planets in the solar system, covering them with a layer of virtual world..."

(For specifics see Chapter 210, won't pad the word count here.)

"In this story, there is information passed on by me. You might as well guess what there is?"

After Diwu Zeyi finished listening to the story, he slightly pondered and said: "If I have a lie tricked out by Chen Ran, there would be the possibility of perishing together with Qiu Yinong. Therefore, for Qiu Yinong to want to live, then the Four-Dimensional Aliens in the story should symbolize Qiu Yinong."

Chen Ran nodded. The Four-Dimensional Aliens couldn't reach Earth. Then even if Earthlings broke away from the virtual world, they also couldn't reach the four-dimensional planet, and naturally also couldn't kill the Four-Dimensional Aliens.

"Since the Four-Dimensional Aliens in the story symbolize the Qiu Yinong in the Instance."

"She wants to stand in an invincible position."

"Then, she should manufacture a virtual world, letting me die in the virtual world she created."

"In other words, Qiu Yinong should use Wheel of Time, letting me die in the scene of Wheel of Time..."

The time reset by Wheel of Time is equivalent to the Four-Dimensional Aliens' virtual world.

"What else?" Chen Ran asked.

"The Four-Dimensional Aliens manufacturing the high tech capable of manufacturing the virtual world should have been manufactured on the four-dimensional planet."

"The four-dimensional planet should symbolize the normal Instance timeline."

"Then, Qiu Yinong should use Wheel of Time in the normal Instance."

"In other words, the location where Qiu Yinong uses Wheel of Time is..."

"The Hospital, the Heart Ward!"

"Moreover, in the story, Lu Xingjian wants to shuttle through other spaces to search for his companions."

"This is Chen Ran..."

"Reminding Qiu Yinong to pay attention to space!"

"It shouldn't be ah."

"How could Chen Ran possibly know in advance that this Tunnel involves Spatial Decryption?"

However, once these words came out, Diwu Zeyi froze in place. His expression was complex. There was the sudden enlightenment after understanding the truth, there was also the remorse of being deceived by Common Sense, and even more the astonishment of being ambushed by an Unknown Lie and finding it impossible to defend against.

And also...

The doubt of being uncertain whether the entire layout was already proceeding.

Like Chen Ran, he also didn't know whether Qiu Yinong and the BOSS had already started?

At this moment.

Diwu Zeyi finally understood why Chen Ran wanted to bet.
