Chapter 332: The Formalized Process and Result (7)

On the tenth floor of the Deceiver Alliance Ancient Tower, a woman sat properly on a throne. Her figure was dreamy and illusory, making her facial features unclear.

Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, and a smile appeared on her crimson lips. "It seems our 【One】 has already fallen into the trap."

The next moment, a certain person's past life, as well as their experiences in the 18th Level and Hell, all appeared in her mind in the form of images for her to browse at will.

Simply put, apart from their thoughts, a certain someone no longer had any secrets in front of her.

…

On the tenth floor of the Liar-Slayer Alliance Ancient Tower, an Imposing Figure dressed in what appeared to be ancient clothing from the Ming Dynasty stood before the window with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, a lot of information appeared in his mind, all about a certain person's past.

The Imposing Figure seemed oblivious, still looking out the window. Perhaps any changes in this world were unimportant to him; he existed outside of change, independent within eternity.

…

He lit a cigarette.

And took a deep drag.

'Let me straighten things out.'

'Who am I?'

'I don't know.'

'How did I die in my past life?'

'I don't know.'

'How old am I this year?'

'I don't know that either.'

'But, I feel like an instruction has been branded onto my soul.'

'This is the meaning of my existence.'

'Moreover, I'm very smart.'

'So smart it's somewhat outrageous. In the Novice Instance, that BOSS even said...'

'I am at the Ego Mental State.'

'So, am I a reincarnator? Or were my memories erased by someone?'

'From the information I got in the Novice Instance, the 18th Level seems very complicated. I might just be someone's hidden piece.'

Thinking up to here, the white-haired youth looked at the red Liar-Slayer at his waist.

'The Superego skill I just acquired, its effect in Hell seems to be...'

'An invincible existence!'

'It's very hard to kill me.'

'Oh right, a voice inexplicably keeps echoing in my head...'

'【Beware of Qiu Yinong!】'

'Who is Qiu Yinong?'

Soon, he was discovered by two alliance staff members who had received news long ago. After a bit of 【back-and-forth】, he eventually followed Xiang Jiaxing to the Liar-Slayer Alliance Ancient Tower.

Xiang Jiaxing handed a Form to the white-haired youth. Along the way, he discovered that the white-haired youth's tier before death was terrifyingly high. Traditionally, if a Newbie hadn't deduced the survival laws, they would basically be deceived into violating Common Sense and reduced to Slaves. But throughout the journey, he felt that the white-haired youth's performance was more like acting as a straight man in a comedy duo.

Simply put: I'll cooperate with you, clown, to make me laugh.

He was very curious as to just how absurdly strong the skill of a Superego player who had already reached such a tier before death would be.

The white-haired youth picked up the pen. The 【Name】 column on the Form made him frown slightly.

But soon.

【Name】: Jiang Zhe.

【Star Rating】: One-Star.

【Skill】: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation.

【Effect】: *

Xiang Jiaxing looked at a bunch of mosaics, suspecting that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them vigorously and looked again, instantly jumping in fright.

Because...

The white-haired youth had vanished out of thin air. More accurately, he was moved away. The only players who dared to use skills inside the Liar-Slayer Alliance Ancient Tower were those ten Floor Masters.

After a while.

The white-haired youth appeared in a conference room and asked for a new Form.

【Name】: Jiang Zhe.

【Star Rating】: Three-Star.

【Skill】: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation.

【Effect】:

Although Xiang Jiaxing didn't dare to look, the Form still showed a bunch of mosaics.

After he submitted the Form, this Form was instantly transferred to the tenth floor.

Xiang Jiaxing opened his mouth wide.

'H-h-he caught the eye of the leader?'

'Is this the legendary...'

'Ascending to the heavens in a single step?'

'If I had such good luck... Forget it, I'm not worthy.'

"Let's go," the white-haired youth said tersely.

Xiang Jiaxing was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was telling him to take him to the Residential Area.

"You are now a Three-Star, you can exchange for Mental Cultivation Methods, but it requires..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the white-haired youth:

"Not needed for now."

Along the way, the white-haired youth remained silent, while Xiang Jiaxing was fearful and anxious. He knew clearly that this white-haired youth was a minefield. He was afraid that he had seen something he shouldn't have seen just now.

'Dammit, what's with this feeling of being about to get silenced?'

Arriving at the Residential Area, Xiang Jiaxing turned and left without a word.

The white-haired youth arrived at the rented room, lay on the bed, and searched through the memories in his mind.

'What is the instruction?'

'There are no specific details, nor any related memories, which means I'm missing a...'

'Switch.'

'I need to meet someone or encounter something before I can recall the contents of the instruction.'

'That's easy to handle.'

With a thought, the information about his Liar-Slayer surfaced in his mind.

【Name: Liar-Slayer.】

【Skill: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation.】

【Level: 3 (140/1000)】

【Effect 1: Create nine copies of oneself, sharing the same mind as the True Form, and indistinguishable from normal players. They can enter instances independently, obtain normal Rewards upon clearing, and can simultaneously reset the True Form's days in the 18th Level.】

【Effect 2: Excluding the True Form, every copy of oneself has nine lives and can be Judged. Resetting the skill can reset the Fate of the reincarnated bodies.】

'From the information I've gathered, every player must enter instances to reset their days in the 18th Level, but my true body can stay in the 18th Level the whole time, letting my other selves enter instances to reset the true body's days.'

'The other selves all have nine lives and are very hard to kill. Even if they die in an instance, it doesn't matter. By resetting the skill, I can create them again and reset their Fate.'

'That's not all.'

'The other selves are indistinguishable from players, meaning they can provide me with lies, allowing my True Form to reset the skill.'

'This is the legendary...'

'Perpetual motion machine?'

'In Hell, I possess an endless lifespan, and I can't die, therefore...'

'Immortal and imperishable?'

'Immortality doesn't seem to matter to me. I need an answer.'

Thinking of this, he fell into a deep slumber.

At the same time.

At the Gatehouse, another white-haired youth appeared.

What was bizarre was that the moment the white-haired youth appeared, he changed from One-Star to Three-Star. Since it happened to be the time for instance matching, the white-haired youth walked into the Bronze Skull Gate again to match for an instance.

But the next moment.

A third white-haired youth appeared, also soaring from One-Star to Three-Star, and once again turned back to walk into the Bronze Skull Gate...

That wasn't all.

The fourth one!

The fifth one!

The sixth one!

The ninth one!

Nine white-haired youths all cleared the Novice Instance, soared to Three-Star, and non-stop entered instances, as if looking for something.

From a God's-eye perspective.

The white-haired youth must have used his skill upon clearing the Novice Instance, leaving nine of himself inside the Novice Instance, and had one of himself walk out to scout the way. After confirming there was no danger, the other nine of himself sequentially exited the instance.

From this, it could be seen.

Hell had gained another King of Hiding, and the skill of this King of Hiding was the absolute pinnacle of hiding.
