The Three-Star female player looked hopefully at the four people, hoping she could land safely.

Chen Ran lit a Cigarette. "There are many loopholes in your deduction. One of them is that you guys should have been on the third floor when the Fitness Blogger used his skill. Based on your search speed, searching from the third floor to the eighth floor shouldn't take ten minutes."

"According to your explanation, Gao Lan only took the elevator to the 18th floor to set up Qiu Yinong after I broke the skill, entered the Ghost State, and then returned to the eighth floor to complete the identity swap with Lin Xuan."

"But the problem is, based on your search speed, you would have reached the eighth floor within ten minutes. And within that ten minutes, Gao Lan would still be in the Ghost State. How could he possibly swap identities with Lin Xuan?"

Hearing this, the Three-Star female player's face instantly turned pale white. She realized that Chen Ran was just putting it mildly. In fact, one also had to calculate the time it took Qiu Yinong to climb the stairs.

Just the time it took Qiu Yinong to climb from the third floor to the 18th floor alone could take...

Ten minutes!

Then being set up by Gao Lan, and Gao Lan entering the Ghost State, would be another ten minutes.

In other words, the entire process would take at least twenty minutes before Gao Lan could possibly appear on the eighth floor in a physical state to collude with Lin Xuan and swap identities—that is, Lin Xuan reverting to his original appearance while Gao Lan transformed into Qiu Yinong.

Hearing this, the Three-Star female player's eyes widened, as if she had suddenly been enlightened, and then her entire body went cold. She remembered that among Lin Xuan's six spaces, there existed spaces with faster time flows!

…

Returning to the very beginning.

The six people who were teleported into this Secret Room early finished reading the rules.

Lin Xuan smiled. "This kind of game is simply a freebie for me."

The other five remained noncommittal.

Among Lin Xuan's six spaces, there were spaces with a faster time flow. In other words, he could foresee what would happen next.

"However, learning from past lessons, I need you all to establish a Future Lie: you cannot Judge me on the first floor."

The five thought about it, nodded in agreement, and then established the corresponding Future Lies.

"A bunch of trash..." Seeing everyone's unfriendly expressions, Lin Xuan didn't continue cursing.

"Liar-Slayer: Rubik's Cube Universe."

The Secret Room went dark. When the light returned, the number of people in the Secret Room hadn't changed.

Lin Xuan seemed to sense what happened in the space with the faster time flow. He suddenly opened his eyes and said with a strange expression, "I need to transfer Chen Ran, and..."

He pointed at Gao Lan: "You!"

Immediately after, he continued telling lies and used his spatial skill again.

Chen Ran found that after being transferred, he was still standing on the first floor. He looked at Gao Lan and noticed that this space's Gao Lan had a normal expression, not looking like he was Suppressing his Mental State. He guessed that this Gao Lan wasn't the Gao Lan from his original space.

'Then here is the question: where was the Gao Lan from my original space transferred to?'

At the same time.

Gao Lan was shocked to find himself transferred into a room. He walked out of the room, checked the floor, and saw that it was actually the 18th floor.

【Senior?】

【I am here.】

【What exactly is going on?】

【If my guess is correct, I might disappear shortly. Remember what I'm about to say: hide on the 18th floor. There will be an opportunity to pull off a flashy play.】

Hearing this, Gao Lan complied.

At the same time.

The Qiu Yinong in this space was frantically running up the stairs from the 12th floor, but her footsteps were very light, seemingly not wanting anyone to know.

Eventually, panting heavily, she arrived on the 18th floor and headed straight for the last room.

While simultaneously pondering, or rather reviewing the feasibility of the entire plan.

Deep in thought, Qiu Yinong didn't notice Gao Lan, who suddenly appeared. Caught off guard, she crashed into Gao Lan, was deflected, and slammed against the wall.

Gao Lan hurriedly Confirmed.

The next moment, Qiu Yinong's body began to fade, and Gao Lan's body also entered the Ghost State.

"It's you!"

"How could you possibly appear here?"

However.

She had no chance to get an answer before her body completely vanished.

Cleared the Secret Room!

In his Ghost State, Gao Lan floated quietly in mid-air, staring blankly.

'Is this the opportunity Senior mentioned?'

【Not bad.】

【Later on, Chen Ran will use Eternal Kingdom to break the spatial skill, returning you to the original space.】

【Ah? No, what's the point of doing this?】

【If you return in the Ghost State... simply put, in Lin Xuan's plan, you were supposed to appear on a certain floor at a specific time. But because there wasn't enough time in the original space, Lin Xuan transferred you to a space with a faster time flow so that you could enter the Ghost State early.】

【What if I return in a physical state?】

【Then the cats are going to suffer terribly. Because the cats don't know the situation on the first floor, even if they think of the possibility of a spatial skill, their deduced result would only be that you returned in the Ghost State, making them very susceptible to Lie-Judgment.】

【Later, when the skill is broken, if it's the Ghost State, there's nothing much to say.】

【If it's a physical state, you need to snatch the initiative to go to the second floor, take the elevator from the second floor to the 18th floor, then press the buttons for the eighth and second floors, and finally exit the elevator on the eighth floor.】

【Understood!】

After a while.

【Wait, that's not right!】 Gao Lan seemed to think of something and said in his heart:

【You just said Chen Ran is going to use Eternal Kingdom. Since this space has a faster time flow, it means the Chen Ran in this space has already used Eternal Kingdom, and Lin Xuan shouldn't be able to use his skill at all. So how did he transfer me here?】

【Are you joking? Chen Ran's skill is at the True-Self Level with the highest Priority. Does a mere Superego Skill think it can copy a True Self Skill?】

【Do you mean that the Chen Ran in this space doesn't have Eternal Kingdom?】

【But the question is, what is the skill of the Chen Ran in this space then?】

【What are you thinking! Tell me, is there a possibility that Lin Xuan's skill instantly created six spaces?】

【In other words, when he used Rubik's Cube Universe on the first floor, the plot of this space jumped directly to you going up to the 18th floor, skipping the segment where Chen Ran used Eternal Kingdom, but the players in this space have memories of Chen Ran using Eternal Kingdom in their minds.】

【So that's how it is.】

…

In the original space.

The Fitness Blogger used his skill, the Secret Room went dark instantly, and Lin Xuan used his skill again.

He transferred Qiu Yinong into a space that was not where Gao Lan was, and which also had a faster time flow than the original space.

Qiu Yinong, like Gao Lan, was teleported instantly to the 18th floor, was set up by Gao Lan who was hiding on the 18th floor, and cleared the Secret Room.

At the same time, in the original space, when the Secret Room went dark, Lin Xuan transformed into Qiu Yinong and mixed in among the cats.

At this point, the scheme was complete.

Simply put, three people were transferred into three different spaces.

Namely:

Chen Ran, Gao Lan, Qiu Yinong.

In this Secret Room, after using Rubik's Cube Universe, Lin Xuan used his spatial skill two more times.

The first time: On the first floor, before the cats were teleported in, he used his skill to transfer Chen Ran and Gao Lan into different spaces.

The second time: On the third floor, when the Fitness Blogger used his skill, Lin Xuan followed suit and used his skill to transfer Qiu Yinong into a third space with a faster time flow, equivalent to instantly teleporting her to the 18th floor.

(For specifics, refer to the First Dungeon Chamber, where Lin Xuan used his spatial skill to make Chen Ran, who was originally standing at the door of the second bedroom, suddenly appear at the door of the third bedroom.)

When Lin Xuan transformed into Qiu Yinong and mixed in among the cats, the Lin Xuan in Chen Ran's space provided him with a lie, and Chen Ran used Eternal Kingdom to break the spatial skill.

Gao Lan returned.

Lin Xuan remained mixed in among the cats; after all, transformation was a Secret Room mechanic, not a skill.

The key point lay with Qiu Yinong.

Qiu Yinong cleared the stage in another space, and now that the spatial skill was broken by Chen Ran, did Qiu Yinong clear the stage or not?

The answer was: she cleared the stage!

For specifics, refer to when Lin Xuan cleared the First Dungeon Chamber; after he retracted his skill, the rest of the players also cleared the First Dungeon Chamber.

Similarly, since Qiu Yinong cleared the Secret Room in another space, then when Lin Xuan's skill was broken, Qiu Yinong still counted as having cleared the stage.
