They were all deducing based on the three layers of meaning in Qiu Hua A's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: The number of people was problematic, indicating the presence of Lin Xuan's spatial skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C could not possibly be the Five-Star Youth. Moreover, having come up from the first floor, they might be true cats, or they might be mice who had never been touched from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three: If there were true cats among the seven, yet they didn't dare to touch the fake cats disguised as them, there were two possibilities. First, they were deliberately not touching anyone to cause the rest to misjudge. Second, there were simply no true cats among the seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven people present immediately deduced the above answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a question.\" Qiu Hua A paused and continued, \"Since we've deduced the presence of spatial skills... do you guys think there is a possibility that we don't actually need to engage in Infighting at all, and Lin Xuan can just clear the stage in another space?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement was clearly baiting. According to the rules, if the mice were not caught by the cats within two hours, they could clear the stage. Even if Lin Xuan cleared the stage and transferred the true cats to another space, the players present could also clear the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C quietly retreated behind the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the two true cats cleared the stage in another space, then the eight people in this space would all be mice and would be trapped here forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C quietly shifted towards the staircase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are also fake cats,\" Qiu Hua C said coldly, not understanding what he was trying to express.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, then ultimately, one mouse will be unable to clear the stage.\" Qiu Hua A finally revealed his trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was right. In a normal game, either the group of cats would be trapped here or the group of mice would be trapped here. But with Lin Xuan's spatial skill, then ultimately either one cat or one mouse would be trapped here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this variable was controlled by Lin Xuan. Therefore, the one finally trapped here forever would absolutely be a mouse, specifically the Five-Star Youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people all looked uniformly at Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C, who had come up from the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two were flaws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people made a move simultaneously, wanting to touch the two of them. But Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C had already retreated to the stairs leading down to the first floor by this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the five people didn't dare press further and very tacitly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C looked at the five playfully. Qiu Hua D said, \"In your deductions, the two of us came up from the first floor, so our identities could be: Chen Ran, Big Gold Tooth, Short and Fat, Qiu Hua, or Ye Qian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the true Qiu Hua and Ye Qian were transferred to another space by Lin Xuan, then we are mice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You touch us with the appearances of Qiu Hua and Ye Qian. If we don't Confirm your identities within three minutes, you can clear the Secret Room. But if we do Confirm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This involves the issue of whether the hypothesis stands or not. That is, have the true cats been transferred away or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once Confirmed incorrectly, it becomes a lie. Therefore, you are betting that we don't dare to Confirm, which is why you chose to touch us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words struck right at everyone's weak spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua A shrugged. \"Since you chose to run, doesn't that prove neither of you are true cats? After all, true cats aren't afraid of being touched by other players.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides were engaging in a battle of words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap! With a snap of fingers, the scene froze once again, as if the pause button had been pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is Qiu Hua A?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the youth's inquiry once again, Chen Ran thought deeply for a moment and answered, \"Qiu Hua!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth neither nodded nor shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's keep watching. I will ask you this question again shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the seven people in the scene started moving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second floor was deadlocked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the actions just now had already explained some issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C were not true cats, but mice in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: Among Qiu Hua B, Qiu Hua C, Ye Qian A, and Ye Qian B, there were no true cats among these four people. After all, a true cat could have just chased them down to the first floor. It also couldn't be Chen Ran, Big Gold Tooth, or Short and Fat, for the same reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Deduction One: A conclusion could be drawn, namely: Qiu Hua D and Ye Qian C were either Chen Ran, Big Gold Tooth, or Short and Fat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Deduction Two: A conclusion could be drawn, namely: Qiu Hua B, Qiu Hua C, Ye Qian A, and Ye Qian B—these four people were either Gao Lan, Lin Xuan, or the youth. But Gao Lan and Lin Xuan couldn't possibly appear on the second floor, therefore, these four people were all the Five-Star Youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Qiu Hua A?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six of them all looked at him. This guy had been stirring up trouble and setting the rhythm the whole time. Simply put, he was controlling the variables and guiding the direction of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his identity could basically be locked onto three people: Gao Lan, Lin Xuan, and Qiu Hua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple. This layout was clearly designed by the Senior residing in Gao Lan. If they wanted the layout to develop along a set path, it had to be spearheaded by someone who knew the layout. Just like a fuse, you have to light it for the explosion to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, Qiu Hua A had been lighting the fire the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Qiu Hua A definitely knew the ultimate goal of this layout. What he was doing now was guiding the situation toward that ultimate goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who knew the layout:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Gao Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these two couldn't possibly appear on the second floor and could be ruled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the question came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than these two, who else could possibly know the entire layout?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was Qiu Hua!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First: He was Lin Xuan's teammate, so Lin Xuan might have informed him of the entire layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second: His IQ was exceptionally high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third: His power tier was very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth: He was a cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most important was the fourth point. If he was the true Qiu Hua, meaning a true cat, then his identity would be highly deceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who would have thought that a true cat would mix into a group of fake cats? And on top of that, not catch the mice disguised as these fake cats?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was only their deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could be certain that their deduction was absolutely correct. This was the situation that players above Three-Star least wanted to see: the Shura battlefield of Unknown Lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait?\" Qiu Hua A didn't have the slightest caution about his identity possibly being exposed. Instead, he continued to ramp up his output: \"Do you guys actually think we can safely wait until the two hours are up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed upstairs. \"Don't forget there's still one person upstairs. Lin Xuan can use his skill in other spaces. As long as he notices signs that we're waiting for the two hours, he might immediately swap the person upstairs for...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A true cat from another space, or a fake cat from another space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, across the six spaces, only eight players were real. The other forty players were created by Lin Xuan's skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan could entirely let the true cats or fake cats he created enter. These seven people wouldn't dare Confirm their identities at all. After all, they wouldn't know whether the one let in was a true cat or a fake cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all six mice were touched by the forty true and fake cats, the time would be extended to more than six hours. And you think that's it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan could also withdraw his skill, use it again, and once more create forty players from other spaces to continuously touch the six mice, extending the time infinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting was a dead end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they had to do now was utilize the uncertainty to clear the stage with the identity of a fake cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, they couldn't just touch indiscriminately. For example, thinking that the person touched wouldn't dare Confirm their identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don't forget, the person upstairs could be swapped into a true cat at any time. As long as the true cat spoke the password 【You are a mouse】, you would be frozen. Then the person you touched would immediately Confirm your identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring out all the above, the seven people couldn't help but curse inwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What a vicious layout!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Distance-Free Technique, the youth sneezed inexplicably and grinned at Chen Ran, saying, \"They must be silently praising me in their hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1596,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","16f91e3f926aea008c7f1e71e55cf85af8a84920abc3cdf31ab4e6b575e6c64d","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-331","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-329",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
