Chapter 269: How Coincidental, Crashing Onto Chen Ran's Muzzle

Bang. The Bullet pierced through her skull. Before dying she seemingly thought through something, looking towards Chen Ran, in her eyes was endless resentment.

"You..."

What a pity, too late. The two words [tricked me] choked in her throat, forever unable to be spoken.

At the same time.

On Black Impermanence's tall hat, Chen Ran's number also underwent a change.

【Chen Ran: -5】

'So that's how it is!'

Chen Ran retracted his gun, turning his head looking around the three people revealing a harmless to humans and animals smile:

"The liar is already dead."

'My Skill...'

'Is Inverting Black and White!'

'Effect, speaking what's wrong as right, speaking what's right as wrong.'

'This Skill of mine, will only be used under the condition where I had spoken a lie and was driven into a dead end.'

'After all, to Invert Black and White, it is bound to speak out a lie, and one cannot Avoid Lying, otherwise the Skill effect won't take effect.'

'The second effect is: When I speak someone else's Skill as mine, that person will believe his/her Skill is Inverting Black and White, moreover also knowing the first effect.'

'Therefore, after I confirmed, I had used a Skill, I then knew I lied.'

'Again seeing them yawning repeatedly to the sky, I only then Inverted Black and White saying it was the effect of a Sobering Agent. But in fact no one injected a Sobering Agent.'

'That is to say, my Skill effect has always existed, and I am the liar.'

'Zhou Xiaoxiao is not the liar, just now was merely me speaking randomly off the cuff...'

'But the problem is, who can tell me why Chen Ran would successfully Judge?'

'My heavens ah, what kind of monster exactly is this guy?'

Looking from a God's perspective, actually there were many oolongs (mix-ups/blunders) inside here.

Zhou Xiaoxiao's Skill was...

Indiscriminate Between Friend and Foe.

As the name implies, if there exists a liar in the Secret Room, and when everyone knows who the liar is, getting hit by this Skill, will make everyone unsure who the liar is.

Including herself.

But, Ge Tian's Skill, was Inverting Black and White. The crowd originally unable to distinguish who the liar was, were Inverted Black and White by his words. That is he said Zhou Xiaoxiao was the liar, then the crowd would believe Zhou Xiaoxiao was the liar, including Zhou Xiaoxiao herself also believing so.

It had a kind of meaning of bringing order out of chaos returning to [correctness].

But, this [correctness] was also fake.

Simply put, the crowd originally unable to lock onto a target, suddenly locked onto...

An erroneous target!

This was exactly the first oolong.

And the second oolong, was exactly Luo Xin's Skill, Counter-Strategy Scheme.

What is upright/correct?

What is reverse/opposite?

Just now three people had used Skills, two people hadn't used Skills. This was correct.

Just now two people had used Skills, three people hadn't used Skills. This was the opposite.

Chen Ran hadn't used a Skill.

This was correct.

Chen Ran had used a Skill.

This was the opposite.

But, the problem also appeared here. This Skill exactly crashed onto Chen Ran's muzzle.

What was Eternal Kingdom?

In this kind of, Hell Maze where countless Skills superimposed, its might was comparable to a nuclear explosion.

When Counter-Strategy Scheme, made him cognitively aware he had used a Skill, he wanted to laugh.

Thus, he jotted down this joke [I used a Skill] in his right palm, constantly reminding himself he hadn't used a Skill.

But to be safe, he also wrote down [Truth: Right is wrong] in his left palm.

To sum up the above.

Objective deduction he hadn't used a Skill.

Cognitive awareness in his mind he had used a Skill.

Conclusion: The Skills hadn't disappeared. None of the five people had injected a Sedative. Then Zhou Xiaoxiao highly likely wasn't the liar.

Therefore, what Chen Ran had to do next was exactly trick out Zhou Xiaoxiao's lie.

Because of having the first oolong existing, Chen Ran spoke out the classic phrasing of the eyebrow pencil kid: Look more for reasons on your own body.

Easily tricking out:

【My own reason? How would I know the banknote counting machine had a problem? It's you! If it wasn't for the three of you bewitching, how could I possibly speak these two words [Counterfeit Money]?】

Although this sentence had vocabulary for Avoiding Lying like [If], but in fact the [If] in this sentence had already happened, then the effect of Avoiding Lying didn't exist.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoxiao lied.

Not over yet!

Because Zhou Xiaoxiao's Skill, was countered by Ge Tian's Inverting Black and White, leading to even if she died and the Skill disappeared...

The players present fundamentally couldn't realize, her Skill effect had disappeared.

This was the third oolong.

Not over yet!

Because the second oolong existed, Chen Ran could confirm, they hadn't injected a Sobering Agent. Therefore he could deduce...

Ge Tian lied just now.

After all, Ge Tian just now Inverted Black and White saying they had injected a Sobering Agent.

Then, of the four people present, Ge Tian knew he himself had lied, Chen Ran also knew he had lied, but Lin Bei and Luo Xin didn't know.

Fate is exactly this strange. The people who should lie, no matter how outrageous their Skills are, will also speak lies. The reason is very simple...

In Instance Infighting, Skills are forever merely embellishments that's all. Thoughts are the core.

Just like rebirth novels, Chen Ran had always been unable to understand the logic of this type of novel.

People one couldn't outfight in a past life, after rebirthing once can then be outfought?

Zhou Xiaoxiao being tricked out of a lie, as well as Ge Tian speaking a lie again.

Were all their own factors. In essence it didn't have much relation to Skills.

The former was still easy to say, explaining Chen Ran, Luo Xin, and Lin Bei, all didn't know...

He was the liar.

If it was the latter, Ge Tian would have to suspect whether Chen Ran knew he lied, and still didn't kill him, whether he wanted to utilize him, to trick out Luo Xin or Lin Bei's lie.

Thinking about it.

He picked up Zhou Xiaoxiao's money, arriving at the previous workstation: "Since, among us there doesn't exist a liar..."

Speaking to here, he glimpsed Chen Ran again lowering his head seemingly writing something in his palm.

Ge Tian: "..."

'Dammit bro, do you have a sickness?'

His Skill effect, was most afraid of encountering this kind of player who loved to take notes.

Isn't this it, seeing this scene, Lin Bei also realized something, fishing out a gel pen from his bag, lowering his head not knowing what he was writing.

Actually it was Luo Xin. She thought about it, feeling there was no necessity to record.

"Since among us, a liar already doesn't exist. Next we should properly decrypt this Secret Room."

Actually, everyone all knew, here wasn't an Instance. Decrypting or not wasn't important. After all Lin Bei was highly likely the Secret Room master. As long as they killed him, the Secret Room would disappear.

Saying this, Ge Tian was about to take the money to pass through the banknote counting machine. But right at this time, not knowing how he unexpectedly felt his spirit exceptionally fatigued.

Luo Xin and Lin Bei were also like this. Looking conversely at Chen Ran he didn't have a bit of a problem.

The three people fiercely looked towards the middle of the Secret Room.

Only seeing...

Black and White Impermanence's tall hats had changes appear again.

White Impermanence:

Chen Ran: 40k.

Luo Xin: 0k.

Lin Bei: 0k.

Ge Tian: 0k.

Black Impermanence:

Chen Ran: -4

Luo Xin: +1

Lin Bei: +1

Ge Tian: +1

The sudden change, made the three people unprepared. Until now they still weren't clear exactly what effect Black and White Impermanence had.

But it could be confirmed, it was linked with the mental strength of the players present. If pushing deeply Black and White Impermanence were highly likely...

Quietly and soundlessly reaping souls!
