Chapter 270: The Tool Man's Overthinking

Ge Tian's trio, had a feeling of having gamed all night wanting to sleep yet unable to sleep.

Luo Xin from her bag, took out a bottle of oral liquid. Pulling up a corner of her mask, she drank while thinking about Black and White Impermanence's [Soul Reaping] condition.

'Only looking at my data.'

'Last time.'

'White Impermanence: 10k.'

'Black Impermanence: 0.'

'This time.'

'White Impermanence: 0.'

'Black Impermanence: +1.'

'First time, yawning.'

'Second time, mental fatigue.'

'I have had my soul reaped twice.'

'Conclusion 1: When the sum of the numbers on Black and White Impermanence's two tall hats is a positive number, the player will have their soul reaped once.'

'Conclusion 2: Every passed period of time, White Impermanence will steal away [1] point, Black Impermanence will secretly add [1] point. That is to say, if I don't do anything, the sum of the numbers on the two tall hats will from beginning to end be [1].'

'From beginning to end being [1], means I will continuously have my soul reaped.'

'If I take my own money...'

'And throw it away!'

'Does it mean, my sum of numbers on Black and White Impermanence's tall hats is [0], and I can be immune to the fate of having my soul reaped?'

Thinking to this point.

She wanted to experiment, but considering Black and White Impermanence were manufactured by the Ghost Bride, God knew what other effects there were. Rashly discarding her own money that had already been recorded on White Impermanence's tall hat, perhaps some ominiousness would occur.

...

Ge Tian was very panicked right now.

Only because he discovered, currently in the Secret Room besides his Inverting Black and White being there, there was also a Counter-Strategy Scheme being there.

He wasn't sure, if the numbers he saw were genuine.

If they weren't genuine, wanting to deduce Black and White Impermanence's effect, he could only let that person retract Counter-Strategy Scheme.

But this way, it would expose that he was exactly the player who used Inverting Black and White, and it could be easily deduced that he was lying.

But, if he didn't do this, he would continuously have his soul reaped by Black and White Impermanence.

Thinking about it.

Putting away Zhou Xiaoxiao's money, then taking out his own money from his bosom, throwing it not far in front of him. This position was very subtle, other people wanting to snatch it also couldn't snatch it.

Quiet, quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

The next moment, White Impermanence swung the Mourning Stick in his hand forward. The tip of the stick appeared a slender white line, as if fishing, and it was even the most skill-less lure fishing. The end of the white line entangled that stack of money, pulling it back bit by bit.

Pulling it in front of him, amidst the astonished gazes of the four people, White Impermanence opened his bloody maw, swallowing the money inside in one gulp.

The four people hurriedly looked towards the tall hats.

On White Impermanence's tall hat, the other people's wealth values hadn't changed, but Ge Tian's...

Became [10k]!

The three people first stared blankly, subsequently having eccentric expressions, looking towards Ge Tian carrying a bit of sympathy.

Ge Tian didn't have time to curse up a storm in his heart. When the number on the tall hat underwent a change, he clearly saw Black Impermanence waving his Mourning Stick, also as if fishing, only...

The thin line swung into his body!

Pulling out a transparent soul body that looked exactly the same as him. The soul body struggled with all its might reaching out a hand calling to him for help, but it was of no help.

Black Impermanence swallowed the soul body in one gulp.

Ge Tian half-knelt on the ground. He only felt his spirit exceptionally fatigued, just like he hadn't slept for three days and three nights, his brain being in a half-crashed state.

He couldn't figure it out.

He himself had thrown the money, his wealth value not decreasing aside, it instead increased by ten thousand.

Moreover he also realized, him being able to clearly see Black and White Impermanence's soul reaping movements this time, explained he was already in an extremely weakened state.

'What are reaped away are souls and spirits?'

'A person has three immortal souls and seven mortal forms. I have had my soul reaped three times, that is to say there are still...'

'Seven chances?'

'Impossible. I feel, at most coming two more times, I will fall into a coma.'

'Am I going to die here?'

Three strong enemies glaring like tigers watching their prey, seemed to be waiting for him to weaken. The two Impermanences were also intermittently reaping his souls and spirits. The most critical thing was he was still a liar.

All of this of all of this, were all telling him what kind of desperate situation this was.

He had two choices:

One: Assuming the remaining three people, all didn't know the existence of still having Skills, he could establish a Future Lie with the three people, and retract his Skill.

Two: Carve out a path of blood, utilizing Inverting Black and White to pit the three people to death.

Finishing drinking an oral liquid for calming the nerves and waking the brain fished out from his bag, feeling a bit better, he looked towards the three people with faces of watching a play, organizing his wording in his heart, saying:

"I didn't speak a lie just now..."

Originally thinking of first Inverting Black and White, then proposing the matter of retracting Skills. But his words hadn't finished speaking, when he was interrupted by Chen Ran: "I feel you have to consider clearly before speaking."

Only seeing, although Chen Ran was carrying a smile, his hand was actually touching the Liar-Slayer at his waist.

Seeing this.

Ge Tian's heart plummeted to the bottom of the valley.

He could confirm right now, Chen Ran from beginning to end all knew he was the liar. The reason why he didn't Judge him, was wanting to utilize him to trick out the lies of the remaining two people.

But right now, if Ge Tian were to execute the [First Possibility], if he and Luo Xin both retracted their Skills, it meant...

He would lose his value.

Chen Ran would without hesitation Judge him.

'It turns out, I f*cking have always been Chen Ran's tool man?'

'But the problem is, I've already Inverted Black and White, how did he confirm I'm the liar?'

'The text recorded in his palm?'

'Previously the text in his right palm was [I used a Skill].'

'That is to say, he relied merely on this one sentence to deduce I am the liar?'

'A pure white Liar-Slayer, definitely is an Ego Tier or above Skill.'

'Manufacturing solid entities?'

'Also shouldn't be ah. He didn't use a Skill just now, there are no solid entities manufactured by his Skill in the Secret Room. How did he judge out I am the liar?'

'Could it be the sentence [injected a Sobering Agent]? Letting him deduce I'm lying?'

'Injecting a Sobering Agent = Lying.'

'Explaining, towards him, not injecting a Sobering Agent is the true words.'

'The sentence [I used a Skill] can deduce: did not inject a Sobering Agent?'

'That is to say, in Chen Ran's brain's deduction, him not using a Skill equals to not injecting a Sobering Agent?'

Feeling like his head was going to explode. This inside involved the oolongs of Counter-Strategy Scheme, he fundamentally couldn't deduce it.

"Speaking of which..." Chen Ran's voice rang again: "Do you guys still remember, the deduction towards the nine-square grid Secret Rooms previously?"

Seeing him having no follow-up for a long time, the three people wished they could tear his mouth to pieces.

But very quickly, Ge Tian realized, this was the path of survival Chen Ran pointed out for him.

'The Youth is in the [5] Secret Room, moreover is also a Six-Star or above player.'

'Wanting to avoid clashing hard against the Youth, the best method is exactly...'

'In the [5] Secret Room, having five players use Skills!'

'Perhaps, the nine-square grid Secret Rooms, will be cracked, and players will escape to see the light of day.'

'Since it's using Skills, the Liar-Slayer must have someone provide a lie.'

'Therefore, Chen Ran's thought is: He and a liar will clear this Secret Room.'

So that's how it is.

Ge Tian immediately reacted over. His opponent from beginning to end was never Chen Ran. Only needing to kill Luo Xin and Lin Bei, he could live.
