Meanwhile, Chen Ran's Mental Overdraft was a bit severe, accompanied by tinnitus. After recovering for a while, he leisurely pressed the Elevator button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran changed into Qiu Hua's appearance and entered the Elevator, ready to go down to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, right after the Elevator doors closed, they immediately opened again. At the twelfth floor Elevator entrance, a Qiu Hua stood there and walked into the Elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying nothing, they took the Elevator down to the second floor and both sat on the steps to smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the four people coming down from upstairs saw the two Qiu Hua A's sitting on the steps, their expressions changed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elevator came up from the first floor. From inside the Elevator, another two Qiu Huas and two Ye Qians walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already ten people on the second floor, all with the appearance of Qiu Hua and Ye Qian. Next, Gao Lan, who was preparing to go down to the second floor, saw this situation and immediately fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a God's-eye perspective, there were three extra people on the second floor: a Qiu Hua A, a Qiu Hua D, and a Ye Qian C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total: 10 people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that everyone had gathered, one of the Qiu Hua A's sitting on the steps said, \"I have a question. According to the rules, two rats cannot hide on the second floor. In the Secret Room we were in previously, there were still eight people, which means only six people can appear on the second floor. Yet there are seven of us here, why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Qiu Hua A speaking his line, it meant the acting out of the hidden script officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a lie in his words. After all, there were ten people here, yet he said there were seven. Theoretically speaking, he had lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other people who had acted out the previous scripts wouldn't be stupid enough to Judge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, they could Avoid Lying in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, establishing a persona in advance: \"What I say next are the words spoken by Qiu Hua A before Qiu Hua C used his skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, it was equivalent to Qiu Hua repeating what he had said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qiu Hua A finished speaking, everyone recalled the previous scene, thinking inwardly that next...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Qiu Hua D's turn to speak his line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, Qiu Hua D frowned and didn't speak. Seeing this, everyone was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players who could survive up to Four-Star definitely possessed formidable IQs, even photographic memories. It was impossible for them to forget what they had said before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about 20 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua D finally said, \"How are you certain there are ten people left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others narrowed their eyes. They remembered Qiu Hua D's line should have been: How are you certain there are eight people left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's great terror!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first thought of all the players present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one moved, nor would anyone be stupid enough to Judge a person who was obviously lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four characters for 【Obviously Lying】 could not possibly exist in Three and Four-Star Infighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it appeared, then the person speaking was not the prey; the listeners were the prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, it was Qiu Hua A's turn to speak his line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both Qiu Hua A's frowned, and neither spoke their line immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another roughly 20 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua A finally spoke, \"The reason we chose the second floor was precisely because we figured the two rats couldn't come down to the second floor, while the Five-Star Youth could come down to the second floor, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(For the rest of Qiu Hua A's words, refer to Chapter 328; I won't pad the word count here.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, it was Qiu Hua C's turn to speak his line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qiu Hua C also didn't speak his line immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua C glanced at Qiu Hua A, then at Qiu Hua D, and asked solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to know, just where exactly did I make a mistake?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for the two to answer, he continued, \"It should be that senior, right? His Distance-Free Technique should be able to reflect the future, which led to the two of you arranging a secret signal to identify each other in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, it was supposed to be a sure-kill setup. I didn't expect it to be spoiled by that senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiu Hua D, which was Big Gold Tooth, had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When time reversed back to the twelfth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran used Distance-Free Technique on 【Lin Xuan】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the white world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Gold Tooth's Distance-Free Technique was obviously stronger than Chen Ran's Distance-Free Technique. Therefore, he looked coldly at Chen Ran opposite him, wanting to hear what he had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the real Chen Ran, whether you believe it or not. Also, the setup laid by the senior wasn't to help us kill the Five-Star Youth at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not over yet. The Five-Star Youth has already placed his pieces in advance. He is no longer the prey, but the hunter hunting the prey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Big Gold Tooth still didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, when you take the Elevator to the first floor, there will be a Chen Ran and a Short and Fat taking the Elevator with you. In the Elevator, they will turn into the appearances of Qiu Hua and Ye Qian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Big Gold Tooth's expression turned grave. \"State your conclusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, if the Short and Fat or Chen Ran who took the Elevator with you turned into Qiu Hua's appearance, and later on the second floor, disguised himself as Qiu Hua D and spoke, what would happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Similarly, if I'm not mistaken, there will be two Qiu Hua A's on the second floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the fake Qiu Hua A disguised himself as Qiu Hua A and spoke his line, what would happen then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Big Gold Tooth couldn't remain calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If the fake Qiu Hua A speaks the line first, and I mistakenly think it's the real Qiu Hua A speaking the line, and I hastily reply with my line, wouldn't that mean I would deviate from the plot?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Similarly, when the fake Qiu Hua D speaks his line, if the real Qiu Hua A hastily replies and speaks the corresponding line, he would also deviate from the plot.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How insidious!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean, when we speak our lines, we need to make a secret signal in advance? To indicate that the person speaking the line is you and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Gold Tooth looked at Chen Ran. \"How can I be certain you are the real Chen Ran?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn't be certain the Chen Ran opposite him was the real Chen Ran, Big Gold Tooth wouldn't dare hastily agree on a secret signal with the Chen Ran in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, in Distance-Free Technique, I have Chen Ran's appearance, so I am Chen Ran.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, this setup is targeted at the Five-Star Youth. Even if I were a Chen Ran from another space, I would also target the Five-Star Youth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you die, do you think the remaining players joining hands will still have the ability to deal with the Five-Star Youth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Gold Tooth nodded. The moment the two Hunter Teams were broken up, the remaining players automatically adhered to the Law of the Bright Ocean: which was to join hands and kill the Five-Star Youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they still engaged in Infighting, even immortals wouldn't be able to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the two agreed in Distance-Free Technique that when they spoke their lines: their right pinky finger would wiggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, between the two Qiu Hua A's, whoever didn't wiggle their right pinky finger when speaking their line would be the fake, and the line they spoke could be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a God's-eye perspective, when all ten people appeared on the second floor, Qiu Hua A immediately spoke his line, and Qiu Hua D followed up with his line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it was Qiu Hua C's turn to speak his line, he didn't speak it. This indicated that Qiu Hua C knew the Qiu Hua A and D who had just spoken their lines...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were both fake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acting of the hidden script hadn't started yet. Right now, they were in the two-minute...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Hua C was the Five-Star Youth, the same Five-Star Youth who had used 【Forbidden Bookstore】 just now. When he found that neither Qiu Hua A nor D fell for it, he immediately realized that the senior had used Distance-Free Technique to reflect the future, allowing Chen Ran to know his trump card in advance. And for Chen Ran to avoid this trump card, he could only arrange a secret signal for speaking with Qiu Hua D beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The senior, which was Wan Feng, had completed the closed loop of his Distance-Free Technique at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did it make Chen Ran understand the formalization of Heart Cultivation deduction problems, but it also allowed Chen Ran to avoid the Five-Star Youth's trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the formalization was explicitly told to Chen Ran, while the Five-Star Youth's trump card was the assignment he gave Chen Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since he had taken online classes, how could there be no assignments?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, based on previous deductions, even if Chen Ran still followed the scenes seen in Distance-Free Technique and didn't know how to adapt, his final outcome would definitely be deviating from the plot and getting lost in the Forbidden Book. However, he had Eternal Kingdom, and he could escape the Forbidden Book by lying and using Eternal Kingdom. But doing so would leave him with a lie on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the space they were currently in was definitely not the original space. In other words, even if Chen Ran failed to complete the after-school assignment, he could still get away and eliminate the lie on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: He's really so considerate, I'm crying to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: Damn it, is this Emotional Deception again?\u003C\u002Fp>",1874,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","8ba49147a6da3b0fec955318781998d1b44125966d482c5781208afdace06c1a","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-341","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-339",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
