Chapter 260: A Bit Too Much Nonsense

Chen Ran's trio of three, did not dare to stay in any Secret Room, bringing sparks and lightning all the way.

Taking the previous [Beauty Bathhouse] as a reference Secret Room, they went back and forth a few times, determining the direction they were located: West.

Further according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, the three reached a conclusion: They were situated on the Dui Palace.

Heading northwest is auspicious.

And the northwest, is exactly the Qian Palace:

Pre-heaven number: 1

Post-heaven number: 6

That is to say, the sixth Secret Room to the northwest should have an exit.

The Qian position benefits family harmony.

If the 6th Secret Room is not, then it's the 16th Secret Room, or the 26th Secret Room...

Having determined the direction as well as the safety exit.

The three selectively opened doors in every Secret Room.

Primarily opening the two northwest doors.

...

This is a Secret Room.

An empty Secret Room.

Inside the Secret Room there is and only is one door.

A tightly shut door.

On the door there is a monitor.

A black-screened monitor.

Inside the Secret Room, seven players were gathered.

They had all utilized the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, analyzing that the northwest Qian position had a safety exit.

However, at this moment they were all trapped in this Secret Room. The only clue in the Secret Room was just the monitor, but it was in a black screen.

They knew, this Secret Room possibly hadn't reached the opening condition yet.

Thus, the seven people either stood, or squatted, or leaned against the wall, or closed their eyes to rest their minds, quietly waiting for the Secret Room to open. Everyone maintained a distance.

Not long after.

On the originally smooth wall, a door suddenly appeared, and was pushed open by someone.

Outside the door, the handsome youth, seeing the seven people who were terrifyingly strong just from their standing posture...

Silently closed the door.

The seven people were also not anxious, simply because they knew in that Secret Room, this place was the Secret Room the west door led to, while the Secret Room the north door led to...

Was even more terrifying!

...

Mei Zhixu rolled her eyes at Chen Ran. Seeing him about to go open the north door again, she hurriedly called for a stop.

"I feel that, you seem to be very unlucky today. This kind of thing similar to opening blind boxes, just leave it to me."

Saying so, she arrived in front of the north door, silently praying in her heart, and lightly pushed open the door.

In the Secret Room the north door led to, there was only a fourteen or fifteen year old Youth. The Youth quietly stood in the middle of the Secret Room. Hearing the movement his eyelids slightly lifted to look at the three. With just this one glance...

The three's fine hairs all over their bodies stood up on end.

What kind of eyes were these?

Somewhere in the unseen world, they had a kind of premonition. Once stepping into this Secret Room, they would undoubtedly die.

"Sorry, for disturbing."

Mei Zhixu lightly closed the door, not even daring to breathe heavily. At the same time she signaled the two, to walk stealthily towards the direction of the west door.

Arriving in front of the west door once again.

Mei Zhixu had a mournful face: "That, that Youth, is at least Six-Star!"

Hearing this, Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong, also only felt their bodies lighten by two taels, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. A Six-Star Player meant, an existence possibly touching the threshold of Ego Heart Cultivation.

This kind of player, is highly likely already at the edge of severing Common Sense, being a true powerhouse.

The three of them, even dealing with a Three-Star Player was choking enough, let alone a Six-Star?

Moreover, Six-Star is the lower limit. That Youth is maybe a player above Six-Star.

However, right at this time.

Creak...

The three stiffened in place, mechanically turning their heads to look at the north door. They only saw the north door had already opened.

The Youth stood at the doorway, looking smilingly at them, making a ghost face:

"Wa!"

Scaring the three into pushing open the west door, desperately running inside. Behind them rang the Youth's extremely carefree loud laughter. He seemed to have a kind of...

Evil hobby of liking to scare little children.

...

The Secret Room inside the west door.

The seven people ignored the three who stumbled and staggered in, all deadly staring at the monitor.

Monitor: 0

Seeing this scene, at the same time the crowd was nervous, they also inevitably breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Secret Room had already opened, then that explains during this period there won't be any more players coming in, able to avoid the Youth seen previously.

Chen Ran's trio's eyebrows slightly frowned, very tacitly retreating to behind the crowd.

However, there's always someone more dog/cowardly. Mei Zhixu quietly retreated to behind Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong.

The Secret Room fell into silence.

Everyone was thinking, what did the number [0] on the monitor mean?

Among them, a Youth with a Shamate style stepped out: "I have a question. Does a Secret Room manufactured by a player's Skill, also follow the Decryption Protocol?"

Decryption Protocol: Through clues, find the method to escape the Secret Room.

The moment these words came out, the Shamate Youth suddenly had a feeling of being targeted by a pack of wolves.

Very quickly he reacted. Veteran Players wouldn't ask this kind of low-level question, only Newbies who just came to Hell would ask.

In this kind of Secret Room where enemies and friends are indistinguishable, exposing oneself as a Newbie, is definitely not a good thing.

He braced himself and continued: "The monitor is at [0]. If we say [0] symbolizes all players inside the Secret Room must die, then no one can clear this Secret Room."

"This does not fit logic, therefore I had that question just now."

The Shamate looked around at the crowd. Seeing a white-haired Elder nod, he immediately understood that a Secret Room manufactured by a Ghost Whisperer's Skill, would also follow the Decryption Protocol.

Chen Ran stroked his chin. In the previous Instance Li Zhitong and the others also manufactured a Secret Room.

'If, a Secret Room manufactured by a player follows the Decryption Protocol, then the supermarket manufactured by Li Zhitong and the others, the supermarket's main door...'

'Is exactly the exit!'

'But, what I saw was, in front of the supermarket's main door there was a wall. Saying it like this, the wall was manufactured by another Skill.'

'Really simple and crude.'

"This Secret Room, besides the door, monitor, and players, has absolutely nothing else."

"The door and monitor are both brought inherently by the Secret Room, therefore the number is related to the players."

"Since it's not the number of people, then there's only one possibility left... It's related to the quantity of Skills players use in this Secret Room!"

Wait until after he finished speaking, the crowd's expressions were varied. Some nodded in agreement, some had weird faces, some looked at him like looking at a fool.

It was very obvious, in their eyes, the Shamate's deduction, was full of mistakes and omissions.

But, very tacitly no one refuted.

Seeing the Shamate still wanted to speak, Mei Zhixu wanted to remind the two Newbies in front of her, but actually discovered the two stood behind her at an unknown time, and had both covered their ears.

'Damn it, is this right?'

The Shamate continued: "I will use a Skill later. If the number on the monitor becomes [1], it explains my deduction just now was correct. [1] corresponding to in the Secret Room, there is [1] player using [1] Skill. If the number on the monitor doesn't become [1], then just treat it as I didn't say anything just now."

Saying this, the Shamate Youth, slowly drew out his Liar-Slayer, muzzle pointing at the ceiling.

"If it's [1], it should also be accompanied by the sound of mechanical gears turning. Later you must definitely see clearly, if [1] appears on the monitor whether it is accompanied by sound."

"Right, you guys not taking the lead to use Skills, couldn't possibly all be Liar-Slayers right?"

The crowd: "..."

The Shamate who had a bit too much nonsense, after finishing speaking the last sentence, slowly pulled the trigger.

The crowd only heard the gunshot, but did not hear the Shamate's Skill command password.

Yet the Secret Room had already turned black.

However, it could be confirmed, the Shamate either had a lie on his body, or he was a Ghost Whisperer. The possibility of the latter was greater.

When light was restored.

The crowd uniformly looked towards the monitor.

Only seeing.

The number on the monitor...

Was still [0]!
