In other words, five cats will clear the Secret Room early.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'And the final result would be that upstairs, from the 2nd to the 18th floor, there are a total of six mice hiding, as well as five cats searching for mice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Moreover, the distribution of the mice would be: Lin Xuan cannot hide on the first four floors, one mouse cannot hide on the first two floors, one mouse cannot hide on the first floor, and the remaining three mice...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are all on the first floor!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Simply put, the plan he described orally mixes these two variables together.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's no lying involved, it's just not explicitly stated. It requires the listener to comprehend it on their own.' (For specific reference, see Chapters 313 and 314.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This guy is a huge pit!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why did he do this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In both variables, the cats remaining at the end must know Distance-Free Technique, otherwise it's unplayable.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, he is targeting the Three-Star cats who don't know Distance-Free Technique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Lin Xuan's two teammates, Gao Lan's three teammates, and the Fitness Blogger.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'These six people don't know Distance-Free Technique. But if it's the first variable, there will only be five cats going down to the first floor, leaving one extra.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then this extra one is the target Qiu Hua is aiming for.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The answer is glaringly obvious. He wants to target the Fitness Blogger. If the Fitness Blogger only deduces the first variable, he will sense killing intent from Qiu Hua. What will he do?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Prematurely touch a mouse!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But Qiu Hua will be guarding against him, unless the Fitness Blogger uses a skill. Coincidentally, he is a Ghost Whisperer and can use a skill at any time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Conclusion: Qiu Hua deliberately mixed the two variables together in his speech to force the Fitness Blogger into using a skill.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why does he want to force him to use a skill?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong scanned the crowd, her gaze falling upon Chen Ran and Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So that's how it is!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'After all, when the Secret Room goes dark, it isn't necessarily just one person using a skill.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then the question arises.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Who will Lin Xuan transfer?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's either Qiu Hua or me. After all, in his Dormitory Building space, I screwed over several Ye Qians, and he should have sensed that scene. Therefore, in his mind, I am even more formidable than the Four-Star Ye Qian.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Both Qiu Hua and I have the possibility of deducing his plan, and Qiu Hua is his teammate. So when the Fitness Blogger uses his skill...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He will transfer me!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Chen Ran will also use his skill. His skill can break the items manufactured by players, which should be the crucial reliance for the mice on the first floor to break through the blockade.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Known fact: The Fitness Blogger will use his skill upstairs.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Known fact: Lin Xuan will use his spatial skill when the Fitness Blogger uses his skill, transferring me to another space.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Known fact: The Chen Ran on the first floor is the Chen Ran from another space, and the real Chen Ran will use his skill in the other space.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Conclusion: I must clear the stage in the other space, otherwise there will be a huge mix-up!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple. If Qiu Yinong didn't clear the stage in the other space, then when Chen Ran used Eternal Kingdom, Qiu Yinong would return to this space, while Lin Xuan would have also transformed into Qiu Yinong's appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, there would be two Qiu Yinongs upstairs, and anyone with half a brain would know something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, this is all just my deduction. There's no direct or indirect evidence.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unless...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Qiu Yinong nodded and agreed to Qiu Hua's plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the cats established Future Lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Future Lie: The cat guarding the first floor cannot prematurely touch the controlled mice; they must wait until another cat comes to take their place, or until 24 minutes have passed, before they can touch a mouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Future Lie: The player guarding the first floor cannot touch a mouse midway while going downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As expected, the Future Lies did not mention that the cat searching the last room on the 18th floor must go down to the first floor.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is to provide convenience for Lin Xuan, disguised as me, to swap identities with the other mice.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Simply put, Lin Xuan, disguised as me, doesn't know which room on the 18th floor the other mice will hide in. And earlier in Qiu Hua's plan, he mentioned that whoever searches the last room on the 18th floor will go down to the first floor. But this rule was absent from the Future Lies.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Therefore, this clause being omitted is actually telling the mice to swap their identities in the last room on the 18th floor!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, my previous deduction is highly likely correct.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But it's still not foolproof enough.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If, later on upstairs, the Fitness Blogger uses his skill and Lin Xuan transfers me to another space, it will prove my deduction was 100% correct. Then all I have to do is clear the stage early in the other space!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Future Lies were established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong followed the crowd up to the second floor. She noticed that Ye Qian, Han Bing, and the other players didn't seem to pay any attention to her, causing her to freeze slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems they only deduced the second variable and believe my value is zero.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head and saw Qiu Hua closely guarding the Fitness Blogger, bringing a clear realization to her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fitness Blogger finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He drew his gun, pointed it at the ceiling, and used his skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Room went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qiu Yinong found that the Secret Room instantly returned to brightness again. She observed her surroundings and noticed there were no other players nearby. Looking at the floor number, it was: 18th Floor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems I've already been transferred to another space by Lin Xuan.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'And according to what Qiu Hua verbally stated: whoever searches the last room on the 18th floor will go down to the first floor...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked towards the location of the last room on the 18th floor, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There must be a mouse hiding in that room, intending to catch me by surprise and set me up.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and sprinted towards the last room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she entered the door, she was deflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a cat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that person's appearance and hearing the password for Confirmation, Qiu Yinong's pupils shrank slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Placing the bet on Gao Lan?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original space, a Qiu Yinong from another space was transferred over. Finding the Secret Room in a dark state, she quietly detached from the group and sprinted towards the 18th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Xuan transformed into Qiu Yinong's appearance and mixed into the crowd of cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to this point, the space where Chen Ran was, the space where Qiu Yinong was, and the space where Gao Lan was had all formed perfect closed loops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be a question here: Lin Xuan never spoke out his plan. Why would Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, the Senior in Gao Lan's consciousness, and the Four-Star player Qiu Hua all cooperate with Lin Xuan's plan under unknown circumstances?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was the Law of the Bright Ocean!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Law of the Bright Ocean: When a collective faces a common enemy, everyone will unite to deal with that common enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a larger scale: a country appeasing internal conflicts through foreign wars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a smaller scale:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you are being bullied in your class, you can manufacture a conflict between your class and the class next door. Then, the students in your class will unite to deal with the next-door class. If the students who bullied you dare to bully you again, it will provoke public outrage, and they will likely be told: \"At a time like this, you're still fighting your own people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Law of the Bright Ocean. However, one must be careful not to let the classmates know that you were the one who provoked the conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, you're liable to get beaten up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, in the Three-Body Problem, it wasn't just the Law of the Dark Forest that existed; the Law of the Bright Ocean also existed. That is, when facing the Trisolaran crisis, all nations of the world united to respond together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example: in \"Drawing Sword,\" Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Chu Yunfei, upon discovering that the Japanese were sending reinforcements to Ping'an County, deduced that Li Yunlong was attacking Ping'an County. They all chose to cooperate with Li Yunlong and intercepted the enemy reinforcements, simply because they shared a common enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, Qiu Hua, and the Senior in Gao Lan's consciousness all chose to cooperate with Lin Xuan's plan simply because they shared a common enemy: to clear out some of the Three and Four-Star players, and finally deal with the Five-Star Youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from a God's-eye view, regarding Gao Lan's role, although he completed a perfect closed loop in the other space, his operations upon returning to this space had a flaw.\u003C\u002Fp>",1687,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","245d5005645085d844cf164a8d975d0cc346aa9eecd76fc43dbfea781828d848","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-324","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-322",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
