Chapter 364: War Without Gunpowder Smoke

Ultimately.

The security guard and the Sinister Youth arrived at Room 1803.

After the two entered the door.

Neither had the intention to search. Instead, they calmly sat down on the sofa, and Wang Dazhu handed the Sinister Youth a cigarette.

The two silently lit up.

"Do you have something to say?" Wang Dazhu's voice broke the tranquility.

The Sinister Youth took a deep drag of his cigarette, organized his wording in his mind, and said: "There's a saying that goes, when the tide recedes, you know who is swimming naked. Along with the acting out of the plotline, the people who sent false messages in the group chat will make people realize they were sending false messages earlier because they are unable to act out the false messages they sent."

"Why don't you guess, among the nine people in the group, who sent false messages?"

Hearing this, Wang Dazhu's eyelids twitched.

He had guessed correctly!

Thinking of this.

The Sinister Youth also fell silent, and at the same time rapidly reviewed everything in his mind.

'First, judging from the deductions, among the nine rooms, there are two identical rooms.'

'If these two identical rooms are 1801 and 1802...'

'Then there is a problem with our numbers!'

'Simply put, both 1801 and 1802 should be 1801, and 1803 should actually be 1802, and so on.'

'But, when we conversed, we spoke each other's numbers, which means we lied.'

'But the problem is, all eight of us lied, yet we weren't shot.'

'In other words, this kind of lie belongs to a special kind of lie.'

'Objectively, it's true, there are indeed nine rooms, but logically, it's false.'

'Therefore, to break this special kind of lie, one needs to negate the objective facts.'

Reviewing up to here, the Sinister Youth took a deep breath and continued to review.

'The node of the problem...'

'Appeared in Room 1802.'

'The Youth and the Elite Male went to search Room 1802. Up to here, it's actually nothing much.'

'The key is that the Elite Male left the room first, and the Youth left the room later. And the Youth who left the room later...'

'Even brought out a Property Deed!'

'When I saw that Property Deed, I got goosebumps all over my body.'

'What followed next was the Youth's operation, which was even more terrifying to death.'

'Pretending to use the house owner's name on the Property Deed to Exchange information with the Beautiful Woman.'

'Thereby logically allowing the Elite Male to see the information on the Property Deed.'

'It might be helpful to make an assumption. When the Youth took out the Property Deed, we instinctively thought it was Room 1802's Property Deed.'

'But, is there a possibility that what he took out was 1801's Property Deed?!!'

'When the Elite Male searched Room 1802, he must have seen Room 1802's Property Deed. Under the Youth's design, he saw 1801's Property Deed again. If both Property Deeds were exactly identical, whether it was the house owner or the Property Deed's serial number...'

'It means that among the nine rooms, there are indeed two identical rooms. In other words, there aren't nine rooms on this floor, there are only and exactly eight rooms. That special kind of lie...'

'Was broken!'

'Then, moving forward, whoever spoke a room number again would be telling a lie.'

Reviewing up to here, a trace of chill emerged in the Sinister Youth's heart.

'If it really is like this, if we hadn't paid attention just now, our whole team would have been wiped out.'

'Simply put, two people entered the room to search, so there were still six people outside.'

'Killer A had already locked onto Killer B. In other words, among the six people were Killers A and B.'

'For the remaining four people, as long as Killer A successfully induced a lie from one person, they would all die.'

'If Killer A played it safe and induced lies from two people before triggering the killing mechanism, then he could achieve a 100% safe clear.'

'More crucially, the Youth shouldn't have seen the information related to 1802's Property Deed. In other words, logically speaking, only the Short and Fat player would know if that kind of lie was broken or not.'

'To put it another way, when the Youth induced lies from the others, after successfully inducing a lie, a Pistol would only appear out of thin air in the Short and Fat player's hand. After all, only he should know if someone was lying or not.'

'This would cause various chain reactions.'

'For example, it would cause people to misjudge that the Short and Fat player was Killer A, and rashly Confirming him would lead to death.'

'Conclusion: Just now, if there was even the slightest problem, we would all have to die. After all, at that time we didn't know the special lie was broken, and speaking as we did before would definitely be lying.'

The Sinister Youth glanced at the Frail Youth who was silently smoking and continued to review.

'Of course, I have no way to Confirm whether that Property Deed was actually 1801's or not.'

'Therefore, I have no way to be certain that the Youth is Killer A.'

'However...'

'There are still experts!'

'The security guard and the Beautiful Woman should have reacted at that time. They immediately reprimanded anyone who wanted to speak to shut up.'

'At the same time, the security guard proposed going into the room to search with the Short and Fat player. This was obviously to hold the Short and Fat player, who might be Killer B, in his hands. As long as a lie wasn't induced from Killer B, then maybe there was still a possibility of turning the tables.'

'Next, I vaguely saw the security guard and the Beautiful Woman exchange a glance, as if making eyes at each other. Immediately after, their outrageous operation appeared.'

'Speaking of which, being able to understand what each other is thinking with just one look, these two didn't have an affair before losing their memories, right?'

'Cough cough.'

'Their operation was very outrageous. First, they let the Short and Fat player state the house owner of the house he was in.'

'When the Short and Fat player answered Wang Dahai, the Beautiful Woman unfolded the Property Deed and let everyone see that the house owner on the Property Deed was Wang Dahai.'

'This resulted in a very outrageous phenomenon, and I don't know if it's correct either.'

'First: This Property Deed was only taken out by the Youth after he came out of 1802.'

'Therefore, we took it for granted that it was 1802's Property Deed.'

'After the Elite Male saw it, that special kind of lie was broken.'

'Second, the Beautiful Woman made the Short and Fat player state 1802's house owner's name.'

'1802's house owner is Wang Dahai, and the house owner on the Property Deed is also Wang Dahai. We also believe this Property Deed is 1802's.'

'In other words, under the Beautiful Woman's outrageous operation, even if that Property Deed was 1801's... it couldn't be 1801's anymore, it could only be 1802's.'

'She seemed to be manufacturing that special kind of lie, but I just don't know if she succeeded.'

'It might be helpful to properly sort it out.'

'The first special lie: There are nine rooms on this floor.'

'If my deduction is correct, namely that what the Youth took out was 1801's Property Deed.'

'Then, the first special lie was broken by the Property Deed the Youth took out.'

'The second special lie: The Property Deed the Youth took out is 1802's.'

'This was manufactured by the Beautiful Woman.'

'In other words, the Beautiful Woman negated that the Youth's Property Deed was 1801's, forcibly reviving the first special lie.'

'Is this also the reason why, after the Beautiful Woman displayed the Property Deed, the two of them didn't really care who went to search 1803?'

The Sinister Youth rubbed his brow. He didn't know if his deductions were correct either.

If they were correct, then what just happened was simply a war without gunpowder smoke. Without them knowing, half their foot stepped into the Ghost Gate Pass, and they were forcibly dragged back by someone.

If they were wrong, he didn't dare to imagine it either. Because the Sinister Youth couldn't be certain exactly which step of the deduction was wrong: whether it was the first special lie being broken, or the second special lie reviving the first special lie. If he got this wrong, it would cost human lives.
