Yang Qianfan! (Those interested can go back and look at Chapter 284.)

But Shu Renjun narrowed his eyes, his gaze sizing up Chen Ran, his expression grave.

'To be honest, up until now, I still don't believe that he has cultivated The Highest Goodness is Like Water.'

'As far as I know, cultivators of The Highest Goodness is Like Water will only appear in high-end matches.'

'That is, Nine-Star and Ten-Star.'

'The reason is also very simple. Nine-Star and Ten-Star players are in the Superego Mental State, and can project two perfect versions of themselves in the Distance-Free space.'

'The True Form cultivates Supreme Perfect Enlightenment, while the two projected bodies, one cultivates The Highest Goodness is Like Water, and the other cultivates Unity of Man and Heaven. They can casually switch who controls the body.'

'But Chen Ran is only Three-Star; he cannot project himself. He can only choose one between Supreme Perfect Enlightenment and The Highest Goodness is Like Water.'

'Is there a possibility that his Deceiver's Tongue is: Cultivating The Highest Goodness is Like Water?'

…

Shu Renjun remained silent without speaking.

Simply because, the moment he suppressed his Mental State, he in an absolute rational state, under the influence of reason, would deduce that...

He has a Dao Protector, and Chen Ran cannot be killed.

Chen Ran then looked at Lin Xuan.

"Who is the person you are tracking?"

Lin Xuan was left speechless.

After all, the information given to him by the Ninth Floor Master was to track a Five-Star player named...

Yang Qianfan! (Those interested can go back and look at Chapter 284.)

Chen Ran looked at Qiu Yinong again: "When you were alive, did you ever meet Chen Yang?"

Qiu Yinong was silent.

She couldn't help but recall the anonymous email she received the day before she died, which had a video of a coffee shop attached to it.

Seeing the three of them acting like this, the mockery at the corners of Chen Ran's mouth became even more obvious.

Finally, he landed his gaze on the Big Gold Tooth, who had a grave expression: "Are you really here to protect me?"

Hearing this, the Big Gold Tooth's pupils abruptly shrank. But very quickly, he felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that Chen Ran had only used Eternal Kingdom after their spatial transfer just now. The lie on his body had already been erased, allowing him to land safely.

Chen Ran's fatal four consecutive questions.

The Secret Room was dead silent.

There was a large information gap present here.

But two things could be confirmed.

First: Lin Xuan had a problem.

The person he wanted to track, and the person he actually tracked, had different names.

There must be a Deceiver's Tongue in this.

However, Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and the Big Gold Tooth, the three of them did not know what the name of the person Lin Xuan wanted to track actually was.

Therefore, this Deceiver's Tongue possessed a certain unknown attribute. It had some, but not much.

From an omniscient perspective.

The person Lin Xuan tracked was the Five-Star player Yang Qianfan, but the one he actually tracked was Shu Renjun.

There were multiple possibilities.

One: Yang Qianfan and Shu Renjun are different personalities.

For example, Lin Xuan wanted to track the Five-Star player Yang Qianfan, but this time it was Shu Renjun's personality's turn to control the body and enter the Instance.

But there was a problem. Hell treats personalities as independent players.

Whether the Tracking Talisman tracks the body or tracks the personality, this point cannot be determined.

If it is the body, there's nothing much to say here; calling him Shu Renjun is no problem.

If it is the personality, there's a lot to dissect here. Tracking Yang Qianfan, yet the result is tracking Shu Renjun.

Everyone had called Shu Renjun's name.

Therefore, everyone had fallen into the trap.

Fallen into an Unknown Lie.

Unknown Lie: the maker speaks a lie, the followers do not have a lie.

Who were the makers?

Lin Xuan and Shu Renjun.

The followers were: Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and the Big Gold Tooth, the three of them.

After all, based on the premise that the Tracking Talisman only tracks personalities, at the moment Lin Xuan tracked him, the Five-Star Youth's name was already confirmed to be Yang Qianfan.

It wasn't a situation where everyone was unable to confirm that his name was Yang Qianfan, and thus unable to generate the Deceiver's Tongue.

Then, the first possibility was ruled out.

Simply because, in the Unknown Lie, Shu Renjun was the maker, and he spoke a lie. But he couldn't possibly be stupid enough to speak a lie himself to construct an Unknown Lie. After all, Lin Xuan at the very beginning was indiscriminately Judging everyone.

Two: His name is Yang Qianfan.

Then Lin Xuan tracks Yang Qianfan, but the result is he tracks Shu Renjun.

Who is lying?

Shu Renjun and Lin Xuan!

The reason is also very simple. The person Lin Xuan tracked was Yang Qianfan, but as a result, you say your name is Shu Renjun. Just like the deduction above, this also constructed an...

Unknown Lie.

Makers: Lin Xuan, Shu Renjun.

Followers: still Chen Ran's group of three.

Same as the deduction above.

Shu Renjun couldn't possibly be stupid enough to lie to construct an Unknown Lie, and doing so while Lin Xuan was indiscriminately Judging everyone at that.

Therefore, the second possibility was ruled out.

Three: His name is Shu Renjun.

Then the question comes: he clearly is named Shu Renjun, so why would Lin Xuan track him when tracking Yang Qianfan?

Naturally, it is a Deceiver's Tongue making mischief.

What is the Deceiver's Tongue?

The Deceiver's Tongue is: My name is Yang Qianfan.

There's a problem in this.

A big problem.

The Deceiver's Tongue is Yang Qianfan, and the person Lin Xuan is tracking is also Yang Qianfan. Therefore, it can be confirmed that before the Deceiver's Tongue is cracked, his name is Yang Qianfan.

But, everyone calls him Shu Renjun.

Lin Xuan also calls him Shu Renjun.

He himself also says his name is Shu Renjun.

There is only one possibility.

Shu Renjun cracked the Deceiver's Tongue in advance.

But there's a problem here. Since the Deceiver's Tongue was cracked in advance by Shu Renjun, how did he...

Use his skill without a lie?

Age is the second Deceiver's Tongue. From an omniscient perspective, when Shu Renjun died, it was around the 2000s, and now more than twenty years have passed. Therefore, Shu Renjun's true age is fast approaching forty-something years old.

【Youth】 turned into a Deceiver's Tongue.

Everyone had deduced this point previously, and after they deduced it, they never called him 【Five-Star Youth】 again.

Returning to the first Deceiver's Tongue.

Shu Renjun cracked his first Deceiver's Tongue in advance. Then him being named Yang Qianfan would be a lie, but Lin Xuan had ironclad proof.

He knew that the person he was tracking was Yang Qianfan, and his tracking behavior occurred in the 18th Level.

Therefore, on Lin Xuan's body, Shu Renjun's behavior of cracking the Deceiver's Tongue...

Would not possess uniqueness!

Put simply, for Shu Renjun to crack the Deceiver's Tongue, he had to take out proof that he was named Shu Renjun.

But over here with Lin Xuan, his Tracking Talisman could also prove that Shu Renjun wasn't named Shu Renjun, but rather named Yang Qianfan.

Logically speaking...

The two proofs did not possess uniqueness, so the Deceiver's Tongue could not be cracked.

But...

According to the Instance rules, lies in the Instance will not be brought into the 18th Level, while lies in the 18th Level will be brought into the Instance.

In other words.

Deceiver's Tongues in the Instance will not be brought into the 18th Level.

Deceiver's Tongues in the 18th Level will be brought into the Instance.

By the same logic.

Deceiver's Tongues cracked in the Instance will not be brought into the 18th Level.

Deceiver's Tongues cracked in the 18th Level will be brought into the Instance.

Put simply.

Shu Renjun's proof allowed him to crack the Deceiver's Tongue in the Instance.

Lin Xuan's proof allowed him to corroborate the Deceiver's Tongue in the 18th Level.

The two do not conflict.

That is, Shu Renjun's proof can crack the Deceiver's Tongue in the Instance, while at the same time, the Deceiver's Tongue he constructed in the 18th Level still exists.

Whereas Lin Xuan's proof corroborates Shu Renjun's Deceiver's Tongue in the 18th Level, and simultaneously brings Shu Renjun's Deceiver's Tongue into the Instance. And before the Deceiver's Tongue in the 18th Level is cracked, his proof also possesses certainty.

In other words.

For Lin Xuan, Shu Renjun's Deceiver's Tongue 【My name is Yang Qianfan】, at the time Shu Renjun cracked it, did not possess uniqueness. Therefore, the Deceiver's Tongue on Lin Xuan's body was not cracked.

For the other people, Shu Renjun's Deceiver's Tongue 【My name is Yang Qianfan】, at the time Shu Renjun cracked it, possessed uniqueness, including for Shu Renjun himself. Therefore, the Deceiver's Tongues on their bodies had already been cracked a long time ago.

To give a simple example:

This is like two valves installed at different geographical locations in a reservoir.

One valve can only let water out.

One valve can only let water in.

But if the valve letting water out is suddenly damaged by someone, what happens?

It will affect the people downstream of the reservoir.

Chen Ran's group of three are like the people downstream of the reservoir; when the Deceiver's Tongue was cracked, they were affected.

But the valve letting water in is not broken, so it will not affect the people upstream of the reservoir.

Lin Xuan is like the people upstream of the reservoir. As long as the water intake valve is still there, their upstream water will constantly flow towards the reservoir. Even if there's a flood, it's only a flood downstream; it fundamentally cannot affect the people upstream of the reservoir.

But if the water intake valve is damaged, both upstream and downstream of the reservoir will be affected. Meaning, if the Deceiver's Tongue in the 18th Level was cracked, Lin Xuan, Chen Ran, and the others would all be affected. But the problem is, the Deceiver's Tongue in the 18th Level was not cracked, therefore Lin Xuan would not be affected.

Conclusion: Shu Renjun cracked the first Deceiver's Tongue, and the Deceiver's Tongue on the bodies of the four people—Chen Ran, Shu Renjun, Qiu Yinong, and the Big Gold Tooth—was cracked, while the Deceiver's Tongue on Lin Xuan's body was not cracked.

Lin Xuan knew this point, but he still called the Five-Star Youth Shu Renjun.

Simply because he had a spatial skill and could erase the lies on his body at any time.

The reason why he did this was definitely because he had planned out how to set a trap in advance.

Did Shu Renjun know?

He absolutely knew.

But he just didn't expose it. Put simply, Lin Xuan thought he was the chess player, but little did he know he was merely Shu Renjun's Chess Piece. This step of his was taken very subtly, specifically targeting the soft spot of Newbies like Chen Ran—namely, that having just arrived in Hell, their familiarity and understanding regarding the generation and cracking of Deceiver's Tongues between Instances and the 18th Level are somewhat lacking, making them prone to errors in judgment.

It could be called a Divine Move.

It was the ultimate trump card Lin Xuan prepared for Chen Ran, and also the ultimate trump card Shu Renjun manipulated Lin Xuan into preparing for Chen Ran.

What a pity...

Chen Ran: Divine your mom's move, this daddy will chop your hand off.
