Actually, from the titles of the previous two chapters, one can already know who the Youth is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran turned sideways. The Youth glanced at the white light not far away, muttering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One step away...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This step was just like a natural chasm, simply because Chen Ran constantly maintained the action of aiming his Gun at the ceiling, so the Youth already had no opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Youth walk to the front desk, Chen Ran only then lowered his arm, also coming to the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he stood in front of the Youth, preventing the other party from utilizing the Slayer's Sanctuary mechanics to rapidly flee the Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth handed Chen Ran a Cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm very curious, exactly which step's mistake made you perceive my existence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It shouldn't be considered a mistake either. I was half-deducing and half-guessing, feeling you shouldn't be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a middle finger towards Chen Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two lit Cigarettes, leaning their backs against the front desk, silently smoking like long-lost old friends. After a long while, the Youth broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak your deduction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran sorted out his wording: \"When the BOSS came down to the Past Instance, it used [Usurpation]. When Qiu Yinong's Skill ended and memories returned, in my memories, there was indeed one extra memory of The Tunnel turning black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, The Tunnel turning black once doesn't mean there was only one Skill, there is also the possibility of two Skills!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the first point I thought was suspicious. Thus I was thinking, if at that time there was still a second Skill used...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose would it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The answer seems to have no suspense, it must definitely be Diwu Zeyi's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Youth's expression was weird, asking uncertainly: \"You couldn't possibly be wanting to tell me that just relying on this point, you deduced my existence right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course there's more.\" Chen Ran took a deep drag of the Cigarette, continuing: \"If, I were Diwu Zeyi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upon discovering one among the three Gao Shengs would be killed, yet deducing all three Gao Shengs were still alive, I would definitely not speak words like [the living Gao Sheng].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even I couldn't possibly say it like this, then Diwu Zeyi would be even more impossible to say it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, the fact is, Diwu Zeyi intentionally spoke such words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the second suspicious point I felt, and also your fatal mistake. I think you should have underestimated me too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth didn't speak this time, instead continuously smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran continued again: \"Actually I was conflicted, even not giving the BOSS the opportunity to speak last words just now. Thinking that since you have already changed your appearance, turning a blind eye and letting you leave isn't impossible either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the BOSS's words before dying also corroborated my conjecture. It seemingly very much wanted me to speak the words [Diwu Zeyi is already dead].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly because I discovered I had the thought of letting you off, it instead made me realize your terror, firming my thought of killing you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the corridor fell silent once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two people were both smoking. It was still the Youth who broke the silence: \"You realized you wanted to let me off, so you wanted to kill me even more. What a strange logic indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran smiled: \"Haha, I also feel this kind of logic is very strange. Thus I recalled every bit and drop of this Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Discovering a...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cognitive blind spot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a Newbie. Before this Instance, I had encountered emotional Lie-Judgment and also Common Sense Deception, but still hadn't encountered Affective Lie-Judgment. So in my cognition, my understanding of Affective Lie-Judgment was still stuck on comforting teammates or friends to speak a well-intentioned lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, when I recalled Diwu Zeyi's behavior in the entire Instance, I suddenly discovered Affective Lie-Judgment doesn't stop here. It's also possible to be mutual appreciation between opponents, and also possible to be a deliberately created image similar to a radio station's caring big brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Diwu Zeyi would basically answer my questions, just like an old master passing on his own experience to a rookie who just entered the workplace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of behavior would make the workplace rookie develop respect towards the old master, even developing a kind of emotion similar to [worship].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I realized this point, only then did I discover Diwu Zeyi's terror. He perhaps exactly calculated accurately that Newbies fall for this set, only then being so unsparing in answering a Newbie's doubts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Making me develop a kind of mutual appreciation between opponents towards him, even developing the thought of letting him off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, the thought of [letting him off] is highly likely the thought produced after I was subjected to Affective Lie-Judgment. Just thinking about it feels terrifying.\" Speaking up to here, the hand Chen Ran used to pinch the Cigarette was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth was dumbstruck, subsequently applauding: \"Brilliant, brilliant, not bad imagination. But there is a question. Since Diwu Zeyi paved the way so much, why would he easily die in The Tunnel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran smiled: \"Simply because I was not the only one laying out a layout with his own body in The Tunnel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was also Diwu Zeyi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His initial goal was perhaps only to kill me and manipulate Qiu Yinong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the appearance of the Past Instance highly likely let him see the hope of extrication!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 9th True Self Player, as well as Wheel of Time, both proved that time disorder exists in the Past Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say, if Diwu Zeyi utilized Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers to control the BOSS's Skill and occupy Gao Sheng's corpse, what would happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When The Tunnel finishes decryption, will he stay in the Past Instance, or will he stay in the present Instance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Logically speaking, he should return to the present Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is my deduction, the words of one school, purely for reference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he looked at the Youth, and after a brief pause, the Youth signaled him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assuming the three spaces are A, B, and C, and the space I am in is C.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Diwu Zeyi in the same space as me is also a player in Space C.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Assume Diwu Zeyi in Space C transmits to Space B, uses Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers to control the Skill of the BOSS in Space B, then occupies Gao Sheng's corpse in Space B, and controls Diwu Zeyi's physical body to conduct spatial transmission...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, it's the body shuttling through space, while the soul doesn't shuttle through space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This point can be proven from Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi leaving Lighters on each other's bodies. Spatial shuttling is physical shuttling, and doesn't necessarily require the soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, when the physical body of Diwu Zeyi in Space C assumes transmission to Space A, because the spaces are different, logically speaking the soul of Diwu Zeyi in Space C should be unable to control the body transmitted to Space A anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, if the Diwu Zeyis of all three spaces all do it like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, the Diwu Zeyi in Space A can occupy the physical body of the Diwu Zeyi from Space C that transmitted over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The result of doing so is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the physical body of Diwu Zeyi in Space C transmits back to Space C, actually his soul is still left in Space B.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diwu Zeyi of Space C is split into two parts: soul and physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul: In Space B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physical body: In Space C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two Diwu Zeyis are also in this situation, distributing their bodies and souls...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Into different spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next it's simple. Assume the Diwu Zeyi soul left in Space C is the Diwu Zeyi from Space B. Then he only needs to sell a flaw to Chen Ran, letting Chen Ran kill the physical body of the Diwu Zeyi in Space C, and in the instant of the Judgment, occupy the...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gao Sheng's corpse in Space C!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then he can accomplish Sloughing Off the Cicada's Shell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to take the previous example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Diwu Zeyi of Space C, the body is in Space C, the soul is in Space B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Space B.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul of Space C's Diwu Zeyi is occupying the physical body of Space B's Diwu Zeyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abbreviated as: Space CB Diwu Zeyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Space B's Chen Ran Judges, the soul of Space C's Diwu Zeyi abandons the physical body of Space B's Diwu Zeyi and occupies Gao Sheng's corpse in Space B. Then he can accomplish Sloughing Off the Cicada's Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Logically speaking, actually when Chen Ran Judged Diwu Zeyi in The Tunnel, Diwu Zeyi immediately occupied Gao Sheng's corpse. The moment Chen Ran spoke the Judgment Command, he would already have had a lie tricked out by Diwu Zeyi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, the Chen Rans of all three spaces were very cautious, adopting cross-spatial Judgment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which is Judging the Diwu Zeyi of the other space, and after the Judgment ends, immediately re-entering The Tunnel to conduct spatial shuttling, erasing the lie on their bodies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Diwu Zeyi occupying Gao Sheng's corpse, due to fearing the plan's exposure, didn't dare to get too close, letting Chen Ran escape a disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doing it like this caused the false impression that Chen Ran Judged Diwu Zeyi to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When all three Chen Rans returned to their respective spaces, it became interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example in Space C, Chen Ran returned to the original Space C. And Space C's Diwu Zeyi was not in Space C, and the physical body was also in a dead state. From a certain perspective, the original Diwu Zeyi in Space C was already dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there was an extra, the soul of a Diwu Zeyi from another space occupying Gao Sheng's corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in the Tunnel decryption, Gao Sheng cannot be transmitted. In other words...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions to complete the decryption are: Chen Ran and Diwu Zeyi both return to their respective spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran returned to his own space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi's physical body returned to its own space, but the soul was not there. Then Diwu Zeyi was judged dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diwu Zeyi from another space occupied Gao Sheng's corpse. And Gao Sheng wouldn't be transmitted. Therefore whether Gao Sheng was dead or not, or what soul was in his body, didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summarizing the above, the decryption conditions were met!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Space C completed the decryption conditions, therefore the heavy fog disappeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, because Gao Sheng belonged to the Past Instance, and the Diwu Zeyi occupying Gao Sheng's corpse also didn't belong to Space C, then when Qiu Yinong's Skill ended, only I and the BOSS of this space were transmitted back. And the Diwu Zeyi from another space occupying Gao Sheng's corpse was left in...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Past Instance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As time passed, the Past Instance became the present Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, the Diwu Zeyi from another space stayed in this Instance all along, until the appearance of our group of players!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He probably felt Gao Sheng's corpse was too conspicuous, thus he re-occupied a corpse. If I remember correctly, this physical body of yours is the body The 9th True Self Player once occupied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for why he didn't decrypt the Instance alone and leave by himself, I think it's because of the reason that the Heart Ward would return to the past. He was afraid he would die upon returning to the past. After all, the Past Instance began from the subway carriage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, Chen Ran was scammed numb. He thought the Diwu Zeyis of all three spaces were all Judged to death by the three Chen Rans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But actually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three Chen Rans had lies tricked out by the three Diwu Zeyis in The Tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the caution of the three Chen Rans made the three Diwu Zeyis too late to Judge them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ultimate result was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diwu Zeyis from other spaces occupied the physical bodies of players from the past, hiding in tightly shut rooms in The Hospital in the Past Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting and waiting, waiting until the Past Instance became the present Instance, which is becoming the current normal Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth in front of his eyes was exactly the one who had waited an unknown amount of time in the Instance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi from another space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, what he occupied was a corpse, so the players in the Past Instance all died, also not violating the Time Paradox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Youth finished listening to Chen Ran's deduction, he covered his forehead and asked: \"In your deduction, there are still two huge loopholes. That is, if I am Diwu Zeyi from another space, then the Instance would be in a state of having players. How could you guys possibly match into this Instance? Also, the BOSS is already dead. Logically speaking I should be unable to control his Skill. I should die together with the BOSS. How to explain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran pondered for a moment and said: \"The first question is very easy to answer. This Instance is a Composite Dungeon. The first two Secret Rooms of the past and the present should be mutually independent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the second question, that is Diwu Zeyi's Skill. The true effect of Emperor Emerges from the Three Rivers is perhaps only known by him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually I am also not sure. Therefore I just said half-deduction and half-guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since you were forced out by me, I think the answer is self-evident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to say, if I really let you flee the Instance just now, you should be carrying this body to start anew in the 18th Level, breaking away from the enslavement of the Alliance Floor Masters, perhaps having a brand new world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think, this is the reason Diwu Zeyi used his body to make a layout...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To him, freedom should be more valuable than Qiu Yinong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing speaking, both people went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assuming Chen Ran's deduction was correct, then he only needed to use Eternal Kingdom...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth would definitely die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking from the results, Chen Ran previously threatening to use Eternal Kingdom indeed forced the Youth out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the soul occupying the Youth's corpse must definitely be the...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diwu Zeyi from another space!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Chen Ran had to force the BOSS out of the ward before killing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he killed it in the ward, the Youth would highly likely seize the opportunity to dart out and flee the Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Diwu Zeyi's Affective Lie-Judgment made Chen Ran hesitate. Within the hesitation, Chen Ran firmed his thought of killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can only say...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's timing, it's fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Youth threw away the Cigarette butt. His eyes were full of the calmness of 'the winner is king, the loser is a bandit'. But he felt there was still a need to salvage it:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, your deduction as well as guesses have no doubts, all correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you let me off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he already had psychological preparation, but after obtaining the true answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An angry look surfaced on Chen Ran's face for the first time, kicking over the water dispenser in front of him with one foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have died in The Tunnel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Youth smiled, smiling exceptionally free and easy, just like that dazzling smile when the two met for the first time: \"Haha, this is your first time being tricked so miserably right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although you are not the Chen Ran from my original space, I still want to say, the above is the final lesson I am giving you.

This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My last words!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the Youth closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Ran sorted out his emotions, slowly drawing his Liar-Slayer and raising it above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the door to the ward Qiu Yinong was hiding in had completely opened, and she perfectly appeared in the Youth's blind spot of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liar-Slayer: Eternal Kingdom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Room immediately turned black.
