Chapter 274: Director, Please Cut That Segment Just Now
"You lied."
Another gunshot. The only remaining liar took a bullet to the center of the brows and died. Up to this point, the Secret Room only had nine people remaining. Among them eight were the victors of the eight Secret Rooms, one was the Youth.
The Youth's gaze, fell onto the Peace Amulet folded into a triangle shape at her waist.
On the unhurried face, finally a trace of solemnity was revealed, lightly muttering: "Interesting. Not even knowing ghosts entered the house..."
【The Soul Reaper ran away.】
【The hanged ghost was killed. The news transmitted back only has four words [Benevolent Man of Nine Lives].】
【The Skill's specific effect is unknown. It should be an effect similar to a life simulator,】
【News transmitted from the 9th floor. She is a Two-Star and also not a Two-Star. No need to mind her.】
In the Youth's mind, the red-dressed woman's voice rang out, making his mind and spirit entirely tremble.
'Benevolent Man of Nine Lives?'
'Is it acting on the one falling for the move, or acting on her this holder?'
'If it's the latter, the deceptiveness of this Superego Skill can be called heaven-defying.'
The Youth looked around the crowd. The remaining players seemingly besides Chen Ran, were all Superego Tier Skill owners. It could be said it converged the strongest Newbies born in Hell in this half year.
'The mission the higher-ups gave me is...'
'To force out Qiu Yinong's Skill. Her Skill might be True Self.'
'What a pity, having Lin Xuan here. His Rubik's Cube Space, exclusively counters Ghost Whisperer Skills.'
In Mei Zhixu's mind, the [Soul Reaper]'s voice no longer rang out. She also realized the [Soul Reaper] might have been surrounded or ran away.
'Sigh, this guy is way too unreliable.'
'The Youth looking at me like this, presumably also received instructions. If he dares to tear the face (openly break relations), then I can only call [Yama].'
'Suffer a loss, it is impossible to suffer a loss. While alive I suffered too many losses. In Hell, anyway I absolutely cannot suffer a single bit of loss.'
Chen Ran narrowed his eyes, line of sight sweeping back and forth over the Youth and Mei Zhixu.
'Have a kind of not good feeling. If the two of them want Infighting, then I can only...'
'Reward them a shot of Eternal Kingdom. At worst destroy the entire Hell. After all with my current Mental State, I am not their opponent.'
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over the three people.
'Dammit, how come they suddenly exactly seem like they want to risk their lives.'
'Should I... send them to my Rubik's Cube Space inside to calm down a bit?'
'I see this working!'
'I see this working!'
'I see this working!'
'I see this working!'
'Won't work, there is still a better method.'
The next moment, the cynical expression on Lin Xuan's face was restrained. Taking down the half-cigarette dangling in his mouth, disgustedly throwing it on the ground, again newly taking out one, lighting it.
This operation, was sharply captured by Qiu Yinong. She had seen Chen Ran smoking cigarettes, but had never seen this kind of behavior before. She couldn't help but feel it was somewhat strange, but it was merely strange.
Lin Xuan looked around the crowd, subsequently looking towards a position, seemingly facing a camera lens: "Audience friends in front of the television sets, as well as the vast readers lying in bed reading novels."
"Good evening everyone, I am Hell's battlefield reporter Lin Xuan."
The crowd: "..."
To tell the truth, they were all accustomed to Hell's solemnity, spirits always taut. Being messed with by him like this, they couldn't help but frown. Envying the reckless actions of a Spatial Skill owner, also speechless at his fooling around regardless of the occasion.
Lin Xuan ignored the crowd.
"Currently, the situation is anxious. Let this station's reporter properly analyze it for you guys."
He pointed at the Youth: "This one is a Six-Star player. His Skill, which is exactly this Secret Room of ours, looking from the effect, should only be an auxiliary class Skill. If he uses Lie-Judgment, actually as long as we don't open our mouths and don't use Skills, he has no way to deal with us."
He pointed at Mei Zhixu: "This beautiful Mei's behavior is a bit tricky. Little friends in front of the television sets please watch my next analysis under the accompaniment of adults."
"Just now, it was Chen Ran saying he wanted to use a Skill, that she only then killed the liar."
"That is to say, her killing the liar was because Chen Ran wanted to use a Skill."
"Why can't this son-of-a-bitch Chen Ran's Skill be used out?"
"Did everyone notice, this son-of-a-bitch's previous wording [My Skill can forbid using Skills for one hour]."
"[Can] mark the key point."
"[Can] doesn't equal all. That is to say, Chen Ran's Skill highly likely still has a second effect existing. It's exactly this effect that made Mei Zhixu apprehensive, killing the liar."
"Director, please pull the camera lens closer towards here. Right, exactly here." Lin Xuan was like a psychopath, pointing at the Peace Amulet folded into a triangle shape at Mei Zhixu's waist.
"This is a Voice Transmission Talisman, very expensive. You group of poor bastards can't afford to buy it."
"Then, let's return to the previous problem again. Beautiful Mei, arriving in this Secret Room at the first moment didn't kill the liar. It explains she at that time absolutely didn't know Chen Ran's second Skill effect. It was temporarily obtaining higher level intelligence, or to say, the person transmitting the voice to her temporarily obtained higher level intelligence."
"Chen Ran wanted to use a Skill. She and the person transmitting the voice to her, in a split second exactly obtained higher level intelligence. It explains the state of affairs had already become serious to a certain degree."
"Then, the content of the voice transmission, can also be deduced out: Kill the liar."
"Only like this, can one ensure higher level intelligence isn't leaked at the same time, also being able to ensure Chen Ran has no way to use his Skill."
"Stop!" Mei Zhixu speechlessly looked at the ceaselessly pouring Lin Xuan.
"Don't you know, this guy's Skill is endless and unceasing?" Mei Zhixu pointed at the Youth saying: "If, we don't escape this Secret Room within a certain time, the next round of the nine-square grid Secret Room will exactly begin. At that time again not knowing how many players will be teleported in, whether there are Three-Star Four-Star Five-Star and the like? No one can be certain. In this kind of situation, you dare let Chen Ran forbid us from using Skills for one hour?"
"Moreover, my killing the liar, was also forcing you to put away the Youth's Secret Room."
"Ah this..." Lin Xuan thought about it, it seemed indeed to be this reasoning.
'Dammit, what are you doing?'
'Hehe, wanting to guide everyone to focus fire on this son-of-a-bitch Chen Ran?'
'This wishful thinking (abacus) of yours, is almost collapsing onto other people's faces, stupid c*nt.'
'Come down now, change to let me do it.'
'Wait, let me confirm a bit.'
Lin Xuan looked towards the Youth, only seeing the Youth slowly nodding: "Not wrong. My Skill indeed is about to begin the next round..."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan again looked towards Mei Zhixu.
Slowly drawing his Liar-Slayer.
"You lied."
Click. The Bullet jammed. Proving Mei Zhixu's words just now, didn't have lies existing.
He didn't believe in heresy and again looked towards Chen Ran: "Just now, why did you have to use [Can] this kind of ambiguous vocabulary?"
Chen Ran spread both hands: "Please, so many Superego Skill owners present. You say what can I do? I was merely purely scaring you guys a bit that's all..."
"You lied."
Lin Xuan again raised his gun. Click. The Bullet still jammed. Explaining Chen Ran indeed was purely scaring them a bit...
Seeing this.
Mei Zhixu rolled her eyes at Chen Ran. There were also people raising their middle fingers at him. All of this seemingly was a giant oolong (misunderstanding).
Chen Ran feigned wanting to use a Skill.
The [Soul Reaper] knew the Youth's Skill effect. If letting Chen Ran use his Skill out, not a single player present would be able to escape out. The nine-square grid Secret Room would open the next round. At that time they might encounter High-Star Players...
Therefore, the [Soul Reaper] immediately transmitted voice to Mei Zhixu, letting her kill the liar.
This series of actions, made Lin Xuan obtain an erroneous judgment, only then having the deduction just now.
Since the process was wrong.
Then the result was also wrong.
Lin Xuan awkwardly scratched his head, looking towards the previous position saying: "Cough cough, that, Director please cut that segment just now."
Chen Ran hugged his chest with both hands, narrowing his eyes sizing up and down this show-off Lin Xuan. Also thinking of the scenes one by one just now, he wasn't sure if he deduced wrongly himself, or if it really was merely a coincidence.
'The person transmitting voice to Mei Zhixu, knew the Youth's Skill effect. Also noticed I might want to use a Skill, and was afraid everyone would be forbidden from using Skills for one hour. This was only then letting Mei Zhixu kill those two liars.'
'Or is it to say...'
'The Ninth True Self Skill player, knows my Skill effect. Afraid I use out my Skill, destroying half of Hell. Notifying the person transmitting voice to Mei Zhixu, to kill the liar?'
'Looking from the result, Lin Xuan Judging Mei Zhixu failing just now, explains it's the former.'
'Sigh, the Hell Maze, gave too much pressure, resulting in seeing every bush and tree as an enemy soldier (extreme paranoia).'
'However, this is also fine. Right now the situation is already very clear. It's impossible for the Youth to retract his Skill. Only with Lin Xuan taking away the Secret Room, can one take the opportunity to understand his Skill.'
'Also this guy, cursed me as a son-of-a-bitch several times. Must record it in the little notebook.'
PS: Still that sentence, the author cannot pad word counts, and also wouldn't deliberately act weird. Lin Xuan's Skill is excessively complex, moreover the shortcomings are very very big. This is laying the groundwork for the next Instance.
