Note: 'Mouse' here is merely a code name; saying it to a mouse will not constitute a lie.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: If a cat touches a mouse, or is repelled by a mouse's Liar-Slayer, it is considered catching the mouse. The cat will then clear the Secret Room and return to the Secret Room with twelve doors.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: Cats possess immortal bodies and cannot be killed, excluding Judgment obliteration mechanisms.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: A caught mouse enters a Ghost State for ten minutes. Upon being caught the first time, it cannot hide on the first floor; the second time, it cannot hide on the second floor, and so on. If not caught within two hours, the mouse clears the stage.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: Mice possess a transformation technique and can transform into cats, becoming 'fake cats'. They can catch mice, but do not possess immortal bodies. Moreover, if caught by a real cat, they will revert to their original form while also entering a Ghost State. The time spent as a fake cat does not count towards the mouse's hiding time.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: If a fake cat catches a mouse, there is a Confirmation process with a time limit of three minutes. If the fake cat cannot be Confirmed to be a mouse within this period, the fake cat clears the stage.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these rules, Qiu Yinong's pupils contracted as she began to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If it weren't for the last rule, the cats would undoubtedly lose.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Simply because the mice could let eleven cats clear the stage first and leave one cat behind.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This way, it would be a fool's dream for a single cat to catch mice in this building, so the last cat would undoubtedly lose.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The last rule perfectly fixes this loophole. A mouse cannot determine whether the one catching it is a real cat or a fake cat, so they won't dare to easily let a cat catch them.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'At the same time, since it can be deduced from the rules that the mice's transformation technique is a real rule, then the cats should also have a special ability.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Cats possessing immortal bodies—this counter-intuitive rule is also true.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Meanwhile, it can also be deduced that this is a virtual game world, as only this fits the setting of cats having immortal bodies.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The rules also mention that this place cannot be overwritten, meaning...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ghost Whisperers who can create Secret Rooms cannot use their skills. Or rather, the GM of the virtual game, that is, the Instance Boss, will teleport Whisperer's Escape Rooms out.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the rules were nothing much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when her gaze landed on 【You are cats】, her expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The twelve of us are cats, meaning Chen Ran and the other five are mice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'And the rules state 【You are cats】 first. Does this mean that when Chen Ran and his group saw the rules, there was a sentence 【You are mice】? In other words...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong immediately reacted, but she didn't say anything, instead quietly observing this relatively empty area on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knows, the space in the first-floor lobby of an Apartment Block is relatively large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about 70 square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front were two elevators, and on the left and right sides of the elevators were corridors leading to the first-floor apartments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong directly ignored the left and right corridors, locking her gaze within this 70-square-meter area of the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this area, there was a bulletin board, a complaint box, a radiator, and a trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong sneered, walked up to the trash can, and just as she prepared to touch it with her hand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Whisperer: Forbidden Bookstore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Room suddenly went dark. Even though the Secret Room couldn't be overwritten, it didn't affect it turning dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, people were running, and more than one person. The twelve cats wanted to give chase, but they couldn't see their own fingers in front of them, nor had they scoped out the area in advance, so they all stood in place, quietly waiting for the light to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light returned, no Whisperer's Escape Room appeared; it was still the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong surveyed the lobby again. Not only had the trash can disappeared, but even the radiator, complaint box, and bulletin board were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fitness Blogger wanted to go upstairs to chase, but seeing no one else move, he also stayed put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cunning mice!\" Ye Qian reacted. \"The rules we saw had the text 【You are cats】, so the rules the boss and his group saw should have the text 【You are mice】. This means the rules for cats and mice might be different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For mice to hide better, they would have to figure out the cats' rules first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the six of them were hiding right here just now. After seeing our rules clearly, a Ghost Whisperer used a skill to make the Secret Room go dark, and they escaped in the darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Qian spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qiu Yinong, thinking secretly: 'She must have noticed this long ago, which is why she went to touch the trash can, trying to steal a chicken and clear the stage rapidly.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Catch! What a god-tier troll player!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fitness Blogger had no mood to waste time here with everyone, proposing, \"We should now think about how to efficiently catch mice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush,\" Qiu Yinong interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked around at the crowd and counted the number of people. Including herself, there were exactly twelve people—no more, no less. There was no situation where a mouse transformed into a cat and blended into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, her gaze landed on Lin Xuan's two Three-Star teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong abruptly raised her leg, lunging forward with a vigorous stride right in front of Lin Xuan's male Three-Star teammate, wanting to reach out and touch him. But this male teammate seemed prepared and immediately turned to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator was definitely a no-go, so this Youth ran towards the stairwell. However, upon seeing Ye Qian's trio who had appeared at the stairwell at some unknown point, he stopped in his tracks, his expression ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qian didn't waste words, touching this Three-Star Youth a step ahead of Qiu Yinong, and was immediately repelled by the Liar-Slayer protection mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imagined scene of the Three-Star Youth entering a Ghost State did not occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan's two Four-Star teammates suddenly sprang out. The two reached for Ye Qian's two Four-Star teammates, and both were repelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for about three minutes, the body of the female Four-Star player with the pan-shaped face gradually faded and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared the stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ye Qian and Han Bing both looked at their other teammate. They saw this teammate's body also begin to fade, but instead of vanishing, it turned into a ghost floating in mid-air, and its appearance changed into Lin Xuan's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, are you kidding me? You guys are my teammates!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with his questioning, Lin Xuan's teammate, the Four-Star player with ordinary looks, looked at him with an odd expression and said, \"Sorry, we are in opposing factions right now. Besides, your disguise was too low-level. Even if we didn't expose you, they would have deduced it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he pointed at Qiu Yinong and Ye Qian. Lin Xuan was left speechless. His body sank into the ceiling and disappeared, supposedly heading upstairs to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong's expression darkened. She had struck first, but didn't expect to help them eliminate the wrong answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" The Fitness Blogger's mind was a mess; he had no idea what just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you deduce that Lin Xuan was hiding among us?\" He counted the number of people; there were ten left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan went upstairs, and the female player with the pan-shaped face cleared the stage, making exactly twelve people. There was no situation of an extra person. But the question was, how did Lin Xuan become an extra?\u003C\u002Fp>",1405,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe8b82b925b234c67a47a591405095e87a6c4b0ea36ee689a3451f069a364bea","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-313","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-311",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
