Lin Xuan had planted a player from another spatial layer among the eighteen people. This player was either among the six mice or the twelve cats, and judging from just now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were among the cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the twelve were teleported over, Lin Xuan retracted his skill, teleporting the player from the other spatial layer back to their original space. Thus, the twelve became eleven. Lin Xuan then used the mouse's transformation technique to turn into the person who disappeared. This was the reason why there was an extra Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because there had only ever been eleven cats from their spatial layer all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Holy shit, this badass?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's one thing for Lin Xuan to be badass, but Qiu Yinong, Ye Qian, and the others are also this badass?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Judging from just now, Qiu Yinong deduced that the Three-Star youth was transformed from Lin Xuan.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Meanwhile, the Three-Star youth also realized that Qiu Yinong or the others could deduce this. So when Qiu Yinong was about to touch him, he deliberately pretended to be Lin Xuan and fled wildly towards the stairwell. But in reality, one of Ye Qian's two teammates, a Four-Star player, was the one Lin Xuan transformed into. Oh my god!!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of many, it seemed Heart Cultivation wasn't as formidable as imagined. But the root cause was the vicious mechanism of Hell: no matter how strong you were, there would never be an easy stomp match, simply because the people you encountered would always be stronger than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that people got the illusion that Heart Cultivation was just so-so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to first understand their operations before knowing their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minor interlude ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, what they had to do was optimize their search plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This involved...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue of contemplating fleeing and contemplating pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleeing was not fleeing blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pursuing was not pursuing blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just blindly fleeing and pursuing, wouldn't that be leaving one's fate up to physical stamina?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could you be sure that your stamina was better than the fleer's or the pursuer's?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the fleer had to set traps or misleading clues along the way. The pursuer had to determine the fleer's direction, avoid traps, and sort out the clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the pursuer especially, they had to first determine the direction. If even the direction was wrong, how could they track down the fleer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who had read history knew that when a border emergency was extremely critical—an eight-hundred-li express dispatch, a Fire Burning One's Eyebrows urgent situation—the imperial court would take their time after receiving the news, spending several days discussing who should lead the troops for reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a problem with the system, but rather because it was precisely so urgent that they needed to be cautious. If they blindly sent someone to lead troops for reinforcement, there was a high probability that the reinforcing troops would also be completely annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the more urgent it was, the more one had to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These players, having survived until now, all understood the importance of the First Step of Planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Qiu Yinong's skill can reset time, so time is not an issue.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What needs to be done is to prevent Qiu Yinong from catching mice, while also making her use her skill.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But, that's unrealistic.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The mice will definitely try every means possible to make Qiu Yinong clear the Secret Room first.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Looking at it this way, there was a problem with Lin Xuan's operation just now. Or did he overestimate Qiu Yinong's deductive ability, or perhaps Qiu Yinong intentionally made a wrong deduction to stir up trouble?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But none of that matters anymore.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The problem to consider now is how to complete the sweep of the building within two hours.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, one thing must be clear: after a cat discovers a mouse, do they catch it or not?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Catch? The cat clears the stage, the number of cats decreases, and it becomes even harder for the remaining cats to catch mice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Therefore, the cats must establish Future Lies in advance to prevent a reduction in numbers, otherwise the remaining cats are out of luck.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not catch? The mice will stage a crash-for-cash scam, turning around and chasing the cats to make the cats catch them, reducing the number of cats through this operation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'At this time, one has to consider: if a mouse touches a cat, is it considered the cat catching the mouse?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'According to the rules, only when 【A cat touches a mouse, or is repelled by a mouse's Liar-Slayer】 will it be considered as the cat catching the mouse.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Within this, 【A cat touches a mouse】 might have ambiguity, but 【Is repelled by a mouse's Liar-Slayer】 has no ambiguity.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Liar-Slayer's protection mechanism: I touch you, I get repelled, you remain in place.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Therefore, only when a cat actively touches a mouse will it be considered catching it. A mouse actively touching a cat will not be considered catching.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Understanding this, the previous deduction can proceed. Seeing that the cats won't catch them, the mice will turn around and stage a crash-for-cash scam on the cats to reduce the cats' numbers. But according to the rules, a mouse touching a cat is not considered a cat catching a mouse. However, mice can transform and will try every means possible to make cats touch them.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a bit complicated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They felt it was very similar to cats catching mice in real life. When a cat caught a mouse, it wouldn't eat it immediately; it would play with it for a while. And mice infected with Toxoplasma would actively provoke cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having deduced up to this point, they realized they had only just straightened out the hidden rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they still had to face that problem: how to efficiently catch mice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a proposal.\" An ordinary-looking Four-Star youth player said, \"If I were a mouse, the first thing I would do is reduce the number of cats. But how could I be sure that the cat I encounter is a real cat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong suddenly realized. \"You mean the mice, except for Lin Xuan who was just caught, will all hide on the first floor? And in very easily catchable positions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct. Based on deduction, five mice will intentionally let us catch them to reduce the number of cats in the Secret Room. And they are not sure if the cats they encounter are real cats, so they will hide on the first floor. We are standing in the lobby of the first floor; if a mouse wants to turn into a fake cat to catch mice, they will definitely be discovered by us. Using the code phrase 【You are a mouse】 from the rules, we can immobilize the mouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, a fake cat can appear in front of nine, eight, or seven real cats, but wouldn't dare appear in front of ten real cats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Conclusion: The answer deduced by the mice should be:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Xuan was exposed, all the cats appearing on the first floor are real cats. Being caught by a real cat can let five cats clear the stage, making it extremely difficult for the remaining five cats to catch mice between the 2nd and 18th floors within two hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mice will highly likely all clear the stage, leaving the remaining five cats trapped here to die, unable to continue the Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, my plan is: if all five mice hide on the first floor, we leave one person behind to guard the first floor, preventing these five mice from going up to the second floor. The rest of the cats will search from the second floor up to the eighteenth floor. We don't need to search too carefully; we just need to memorize the scene in each room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, our search speed will be very fast, as long as we keep the search of the entire building within 24 minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fitness Blogger suddenly asked, \"Why must we keep it within 24 minutes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four-Star player didn't answer him, but continued, \"Whoever opens the last room on the eighteenth floor first goes down to the first floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the cat left on the first floor, upon seeing a real cat come down, immediately touches the discovered mouse to clear the Secret Room. The cat that came down will take over the clearer's position and continue keeping an eye on the first floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of the cats will continue searching from the second floor up to the eighteenth floor. Similarly, don't be too meticulous, but make sure to memorize the scene of each room. Simply put, reinforce your memory of every room's scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When searching up to the eighteenth floor again, the person who opens the last room will again go down to the first floor. Like before, the cat guarding the first floor, upon seeing a real cat come down, will immediately touch the found mouse to clear the Secret Room, and the cat that came down will continue guarding the first floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of the cats will start searching from the second floor again, continuing to reinforce their memory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, by following this method, once all the mice staying on the first floor have been touched once, the remaining cats will have repeatedly reinforced their memories five times. They might not know the scene of every room like the back of their hand, but at least they'll be able to immediately determine what extra item there is. That extra item is probably what the mouse transformed into.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, even if five cats clear the stage, the remaining cats can easily spot the hidden mice among the numerous rooms, and the search speed will also increase significantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this time, we can discover mice but not catch them immediately. We'll wait until all five cats have discovered mice, then catch them all at once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1704,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","f78134c96515be1ce94fbcf7cf172379cd3d49a9a5b439d0dd1093ca56c41b90","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-314","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-312",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
