Chapter 271: What a Pity, My Jianbing Guozi [Two in One]

~16 min read 3,066 words

Ge Tian retracted his gaze.

Shaking his head a bit, taking Zhou Xiaoxiao's money arriving in front of the banknote counting machines. Thinking about it using those few machines Chen Ran had tuned well previously.

Hualala.

All 100 notes passed through. He learned from Chen Ran first going to sort, then going to strap.

At the workstation, he didn't find a related work badge or identity proof.

He arrived in front of the facial recognition machine. Facial recognition still failed.

'No work badge.'

'Facial recognition also cannot pass.'

'This Secret Room, all the various things previously, were all related to money, then...'

Beep!

The door actually opened. Through the crack in the door he saw the scene inside.

Money, so much money, everywhere was money.

Contained in large boxes and small boxes, stacked on the ground into a small hill. On the iron-skinned long table, it was also fully placed with stacks of money. Every stack was ten thousand yuan.

Here there was to say the least over a hundred million!

Besides this, there were also many machines.

Among them banknote counting machines were the most, roughly having over a hundred. Next were sorting machines, large sorting machines there were five, small ones there were a dozen or so. Banknote strapping machines were a bit less with only ten.

Briefly losing his mind, Ge Tian saw the remaining three people all approaching towards here. After all the door only opened a single crack, only this position of his could see the scene inside.

Bang!

The door was pulled shut by him. His body blocking in front of the facial recognition system, he reached out his hand towards Chen Ran.

"Cigarette."

Chen Ran handed him a cigarette. Ge Tian lit it taking a refreshing drag. While alive he previously was also an old smoker. Later having a Child he quit.

Smoking a cigarette once again, he was actually somewhat unaccustomed. Taking another two drags, he only then started thinking about the logic hidden inside here.

'If I didn't see wrongly...'

'Inside is a vault.'

'This bank is the Industrial and Commercial Bank.'

'Bank, vault.'

'So that's how it is.'

He looked towards the three people. Although the three people hadn't seen the scene inside, but seeing this appearance of Ge Tian, unavoidably had vigilance born in their hearts.

"What's inside?"

Facing the office worker's inquiry, Ge Tian exactly just finished deducing. He suddenly discovered, this kind of situation... he was a little bit invincible.

"The scene inside, is about the same as an ordinary office area."

"Highly likely it's a fog laid down by the Secret Room master. I feel we very possibly have all along ignored the simplest decryption logic."

After Ge Tian finished speaking, the four people uniformly looked towards the rolling shutter door, complexions eccentric.

Secret Rooms manufactured by players, complied with the Decryption Protocol. That is... having a Secret Room there must be an exit to escape the Secret Room.

Moreover having one or multiple clues pointing towards the escape exit.

But, what if the master of this Secret Room played a hand of Darkness Under the Lamp?

Simply put, it was exactly that in fact the exit had all along been the simplest Common Sense. That is pulling up the rolling shutter door would allow one to leave this Secret Room.

If it really was like this, then this bank in its entirety were all interfering factors.

Moreover, deducing from the time, it was only past three in the afternoon, the bank also shouldn't close its doors.

Chen Ran arrived in front of the rolling shutter door, attempting to lift upwards, yet discovering it couldn't be lifted.

Based on Chen Ran's actor attributes, the office worker also arrived in front, lifting the rolling shutter door upwards.

Hua!

The rolling shutter door was unexpectedly lifted up.

Chen Ran: "..."

'I really wasn't acting this time!'

Outside the bank was still a Secret Room. The walls of the Secret Room were white, and on the wall directly in front was a door, the door having a display monitor.

The four people walked out of the bank. The next moment the bank Secret Room disappeared. This remaining Secret Room, was about the same as the Secret Room before they were teleported.

The four people Looked At Each Other In Dismay.

Lin Bei uncertainly said: "Came out this easily? The bank disappeared? The Black and White Impermanence inside also disappeared?!"

The pleasant surprise came a bit fast.

Luo Xin was a bit more cautious. She first carefully sized up the surrounding environment. Closely following and confirming Black and White Impermanence disappeared, she only then had a judgment.

'The Ghost Bride this Skill is very strong.'

'However, it's already not the first time appearing. The previous prelude to the Battle of the Two Alliances, also had this Skill appear.'

'Therefore, quite a few Veteran Players, all know this Skill's shortcoming. That is exactly along with the disappearance of the Secret Room, ghosts and monsters will also disappear.'

'Then, by the same logic, since Black and White Impermanence disappeared, it explains the Secret Room disappeared.'

"How to say?" Ge Tian looked towards the pondering Luo Xin.

"How else to say. Secret Rooms manufactured by players are not necessarily all meticulously laid out, there is also the possibility of being shoddily made. All the various clues inside the bank previously could all be fronts, exactly in order to cover up this hand of Darkness Under the Lamp."

It had to be said, Luo Xin and Lin Bei's degree of cautiousness made one's hair stand on end.

Already having escaped the Secret Room, while speaking they were still Avoiding Lying.

Ge Tian nodded, again looking towards Chen Ran.

"The three of us, basically all confirm the bank Secret Room disappeared. And you?"

Chen Ran retreated half a step, hugging his chest with both hands, just like this quietly looking at the three people.

Gradually the atmosphere started to congeal.

A trace of anxiety flashed past Ge Tian's eyes, but very quickly it was concealed down. His face still hanging a smile he again said: "Dammit, give an explanation ah. In the bank Secret Room, you performed so amazingly. You're not certain, the three of us all also don't dare to be certain."

Chen Ran didn't answer.

Along with the passage of time, Ge Tian became impatient: "Speak ah! Why don't you speak your deductions?!!! Are you watching our joke? Or is it saying you believe the bank Secret Room fundamentally hasn't disappeared?!!!"

Seeing this appearance of his, Chen Ran couldn't help but think of the [Chicken soup is coming] meme.

At this moment, even Luo Xin as well as Lin Bei perceived something was wrong, the two feeling towards their waists.

Ge Tian also felt towards his waist.

Chen Ran again retreated a few steps. He saw cold sweat seeping out on the foreheads of the three people, as if the tense atmosphere before a Wild West cowboy duel.

Swish swish swish!

The three people drew their guns at the same time, two gunshots ringing out.

Lin Bei took a Bullet to the center of his brows!

Ge Tian took a Bullet to his right hand!

Clatter!

Ge Tian's Liar-Slayer dropped to the ground.

Thump!

Lin Bei's corpse fell down straight as a board.

Luo Xin pointed her gun at Ge Tian.

This scene happened too fast. So fast that Chen Ran hadn't reacted over yet, the three of them had already concluded their duel.

'Not right!'

'Luo Xin shouldn't be a Three-Star Player.'

'But, her gun-drawing speed, how could it possibly be this fast?'

Luo Xin looked towards Ge Tian, asking: "What did you see inside the vault door?"

Ge Tian and Chen Ran were both stunned. This voice and Luo Xin's previous voice...

Were different!

The two people looked towards Luo Xin, all noticing her gaze had also undergone a change. Previously it was shrewdness, but without any sense of oppression. But right now her gaze gave the two people an inexplicable oppression.

Seeing Ge Tian not answering, she again said:

"Hehe, Luo Xin would fall for your trick, but I absolutely wouldn't. If I didn't guess wrongly, you saw inside the vault door, a scene that could prove the Secret Room just now wasn't a bank. That is to say when you saw the scene inside, the Deceiver's Tongue had already been broken. Therefore when they spoke of a bank, it was exactly lying."

Chen Ran couldn't help but nod. Just now when Luo Xin and Lin Bei were speaking although they both Avoided Lying.

But they didn't avoid the lie that it was a bank.

Ge Tian saw the scene inside, the bank Deceiver's Tongue was broken. The two people speaking didn't avoid this lie, and also followed along in lying.

Thus, the three people turned into a gunfight.

And standing in Ge Tian's position, he knew Chen Ran knew he was lying. Therefore he only then when tricking out the two people's lies, again wanted to trick out Chen Ran's lie. This was only then seen through the clues by Luo Xin and Lin Bei, evolving into the gunfight just now.

It could only be said, just like an esports game, two low-health players running in different directions. Ge Tian wanted a double kill, the result was both ran away.

After all, if he first killed the two people, he definitely wouldn't trick out Chen Ran's lie, Chen Ran could Judge him to death.

The grand trend had already gone. Ge Tian helplessly sighed, smiling bitterly saying: "This wave was me being greedy. Inside the vault door I..."

"Saw a vault!"

"So that's how it is!" [Luo Xin] was relieved, and continued asking: "Inside did you see many banknote counting machines, sorting machines strapping machines as well as lots of money?"

"Not wrong."

"Sure enough." [Luo Xin] finally understood how this Deceiver's Tongue was broken.

"That is a sorting center, subordinate to the People's Bank, which is exactly the vault everyone commonly speaks of in their mouths. Every bank before getting off work, will hand over the money inside that bank, to an Armored Transport Company to transport to the sorting center, carrying out sorting as well as strapping and the like work. The next day before going to work the Armored Transport Company again takes the well-counted money, distributing it into the various bank branches."

Actually, in real life, as long as one slightly paid attention they would discover, every time it reached getting off work point a security transport vehicle would park in front of every bank. It was exactly transporting the money towards the sorting center.

[Luo Xin] sneered saying: "A sorting center, is subordinate to the People's Bank. How could it appear inside the Industrial and Commercial Bank?"

"This clue possesses uniqueness. Therefore the Secret Room just now wasn't a bank."

Reviewing a bit the formation of the Deceiver's Tongue.

When the several people arrived at the Secret Room just now, for the players, the Secret Room whether objective or subjective, without a doubt was all a bank.

Objective: Environment, text, equipment.

Subjective: Possessed universality.

Therefore, a solid entity class Deceiver's Tongue formed.

Next was the cracking of the Deceiver's Tongue.

Not getting off work pulling down the rolling shutter door in advance, had multiple possibilities. It might be a problem appeared internal to the bank, having to get off work in advance.

Existed multiple possibilities.

Didn't possess uniqueness.

No explosion-proof glass in front of the counters, also had multiple possibilities, didn't possess uniqueness.

Therefore, the Deceiver's Tongue always existed.

However, when Ge Tian saw the scene inside the vault door...

A sorting center, wasn't subordinate to the Industrial and Commercial Bank. This point possessed uniqueness.

The Deceiver's Tongue was broken!

Then, next, whoever said the Secret Room just now was a [Bank]...

Would all be lying.

This inside involved many regulations internal to the industry. It had to be said, if it wasn't a player who understood the industry, they would be tricked into becoming a Muggle.

Not over yet.

Luo Xin and Lin Bei, why would they easily fall for the trick?

The reason was very simple...

Inverting Black and White!

When Ge Tian spoke [The scene inside, is about the same as an ordinary office area.]

It triggered the effect of Inverting Black and White. That is speaking what's wrong, as right.

Therefore, towards Luo Xin and Lin Bei the inside was exactly the same as an ordinary office area.

This was also the reason the two people, didn't place the center of gravity of Avoiding Lying, on the two words [Bank].

It could only be said.

Despite them being very careful, they still fell for a trick in a Secret Room manufactured by players.

...

Chen Ran couldn't avoid heart-trembling.

'Secret Room Lie-Judgment, is simply exactly digging one pit after another pit. Inside the pits there are pits, outside the pits there are also pits, everywhere are all pits.'

'Wanting to crack it, one must exactly find out the genuine answer among the numerous pits.'

'But, cracking isn't the key. The key is the Lie-Judgment involved inside here.'

'The reason why I didn't answer just now, is only because I know Ge Tian most wants to kill me. Therefore his words I basically all cannot catch.'

'If tossing aside this point, I think I highly likely would also be like Luo Xin and Lin Bei, quietly and soundlessly being tricked out of a lie.'

Realizing this point, Chen Ran increasingly felt Secret Rooms manufactured by players...

Were startling at every step!

'Going back this time, have to properly summarize the Secret Room Lie-Judgment logic with Qiu Yinong.'

Bang!

Ge Tian was headshot by [Luo Xin].

Up to this point, the Secret Room only had two people remaining.

[Luo Xin] looked towards Chen Ran: "Speaking reasonably later on you should face the Youth. Or to say the survivors of the eight Secret Rooms, will together face the Youth in the [5] Secret Room in the middle."

"The [5] Secret Room, the used Skill count is five. The survivors in the eight Secret Rooms must have five people using Skills. You should be a Liar-Slayer right. Therefore you have to carry a liar by your side, ensuring you use a Skill in the [5] Secret Room."

"According to this logic, you shouldn't Judge me. But I feel..."

"Since, you haven't used a Skill just now, presumably your Skill, cannot be casually exposed. You highly likely will Judge me."

"Then the problem comes, do you want to Judge me? Or to say..."

"Do you dare or not to Judge me?"

Accompanied by Ge Tian's death, the effect of Inverting Black and White disappeared. The two people both understood what happened previously. Chen Ran knew [Luo Xin]'s Counter-Strategy Scheme effect still existed.

He wasn't sure, whether this one in front of his eyes, was exactly Luo Xin's secondary personality, or the effect of Counter-Strategy Scheme making mischief.

If it was a secondary personality, according to Hell's mechanics for secondary personalities, personalities and personalities were independent. That is to say, Luo Xin lying absolutely didn't equal her secondary personality lying.

But, just now she could engage in a gunfight, explaining she had a lie on her body.

Therefore, in Chen Ran's view, the Luo Xin in front of his eyes was highly likely pretending to be a secondary personality.

But, he again thought, Counter-Strategy Scheme still had an unknown second effect.

The hand feeling towards his waist retracted back again.

Just now, if sending out a shot of Eternal Kingdom there might not be this kind of misgiving. But...

'Instances are still better ah!'

'If it was in an Instance, her daring to show off in front of me, I would just reward her with an Eternal Kingdom.'

After fully displaying Ah Q spirit (rationalizing to feel better), Chen Ran still endured the temptation of points.

Looking towards his arm.

【One: 3】

【Two: 2】

Just now he took out three One-Stars, two Two-Stars, it also counted as having some harvest.

Minding his own business sitting on the ground, quietly awaiting the Secret Room's next change.

Seeing this, [Luo Xin] astonishedly glanced at Chen Ran, secretly saying this guy is so cautious.

Whenever it was a normal One or Two-Star, they would all directly Judge her, but Chen Ran actually hadn't.

"You are a how many star player?"

"One-Star."

"One-Star?"

"One-Star."

[Luo Xin] widened her eyes. The person she regarded as a formidable enemy was only One-Star?

'I still thought he was Three-Star!'

Thinking to this point, she took off her mask, revealing a pure and innocent face.

"Lacking teammates?"

Chen Ran thought about it: "I still cannot confirm your strength."

"How can it be confirmed?"

Chen Ran hearing this, raised his arm: "The record of Heinous Crime. Presumably you also charged over all the way right. In this process how many players did you kill?"

[Luo Xin] stared blankly. The record of Heinous Crime truly was explaining a player's strength.

She rolled up her sleeve, suddenly seemingly thinking of something, hurriedly stopping this action.

Raising her head meeting Chen Ran's pair of eyes.

That pair of eyes completely displaying killing intent, made her unable to resist shivering.

'This guy, fundamentally doesn't have the intention of wanting to team up with me. What he truly wants to see, is the kill record on my arm!'

'According to the mechanics, the primary personality and the secondary personality are mutually independent. Then the kill record on the arm should also be mutually independent.'

'Previously, in order for him to verify the truth or falsehood of the players present, he motioned for us to display the records.'

'Just now I killed two people. If the kill record on my arm matches up, it explains I am not Luo Xin's secondary personality.'

'Once, he confirms I am not Luo Xin's secondary personality, he will without hesitation Judge me.'

'Truly sinister!'

Thinking to this point, she nervously looked towards the silently smoking Chen Ran. Seeing him not having the intention to Judge, Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh in relief, at the same time supplementing a sentence in her heart:

'Sinister and cautious.'

Chen Ran didn't see the kill record.

A bit regretful.

'What a pity, 2 Points, could buy quite a few jianbing guozi (savory Chinese crêpes).'
