Chapter 387: Whether Human or Dog, Everyone's Showing Off! (2)

Time reversed to a few minutes ago again.

With the passage of time.

It reached the 17th round.

The chips on Shu Renjun's table were already far fewer than the two NPCs.

Lin Xuan dealt the cards for the eighteenth round.

But right at this moment.

Shu Renjun looked at the two people squatting on the ground, one smoking and the other spacing out.

"I say, you two, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Chen Ran and Hua Changsheng stood up extremely reluctantly and made an 'after you' gesture to Shu Renjun, who nodded.

"Ghost Whisperer: Forbidden Bookstore!"

The Secret Room instantly turned pitch black.

When the light returned.

The Forbidden Book hovered on the ceiling of Lin Xuan's Instance, recording the plot.

At the same time, based on their memory, Chen Ran and Hua Changsheng stood in positions roughly equivalent to where they were in the third Secret Room of the Instance.

Shu Renjun adjusted his direction so that, visually, Chen Ran and the dealer Lin Xuan were kept on the same straight line. He looked at Lin Xuan and asked:

"What is your mother's honorable surname?"

"I don't know," Lin Xuan answered.

"You, lied." Shu Renjun picked up the revolver from the gambling table, which wasn't loaded with any bullets, and fired at Lin Xuan.

Click!

Without any surprises, a revolver with no bullets could not fire a bullet.

"Ghost Whisperer: Forbidden Bookstore."

"Withdraw."

"Ghost Whisperer: Forbidden Bookstore."

The Secret Room turned black again.

A script appeared in the minds of the three—Shu Renjun, Chen Ran, and Hua Changsheng.

Shu Renjun immediately said: "The 【You lied】 I am going to say next is just speaking lines according to the script."

Soon after, the 18th round ended.

The three were forcibly made to clear the Instance, but their consciousness was still within the Forbidden Book.

Therefore, when they returned to the third Secret Room of the Instance, it was equivalent to covering a layer of the book's world in their consciousness.

…

Time returned to normal.

In the third Secret Room of the Instance, all five people pointed their guns at the second person whose Judgment had failed.

This person...

Was naturally Lin Xuan, and it was indisputably Lin Xuan. There were no other possibilities.

Chen Ran and Hua Changsheng were the witnesses to this Lie-Judgment.

The Big Gold Tooth had fought Shu Renjun within the Forbidden Book during the Cat and Mouse Game, so he knew that 【lines from a script】 could avoid...

【You lied】.

Moreover, Lin Xuan also knew this. Therefore, theoretically speaking, the only person who dared to Judge Shu Renjun was Qiu Yinong...

But Chen Ran had told her what happened during the Cat and Mouse Game. Plus, with her quiet personality, unless she was within the Wheel of Time, she wouldn't easily Judge others.

Therefore, theoretically, none of the five would Judge Shu Renjun.

Since all five didn't dare to Judge, then this time it was Lin Xuan's turn to show off his operations.

He had a spatial skill. Even if his Judgment failed, no one would dare to Judge him.

Moreover, he could also...

Put the pressure on Chen Ran.

Simply because Chen Ran had previously said:

【Lin Xuan, I gave you a chance just now. If there is a next time, you die.】

This sentence was obviously a Future Lie.

Therefore, the five sets of eyes landed on the smoking Chen Ran.

"Why are you guys looking at me? Oh, I remember now. I indeed said previously that I gave him a chance, and if there is a next time, he dies."

"Then the problem comes. Before I said this, Lin Xuan lied first, then used his skill, and then spatially transferred, and even transferred while bringing Qiu Yinong and the Big Gold Tooth. May I ask, the 'next time' I was referring to is..."

"The 'next time' of which step?"

'Shameless!'

'While acting pretentious, he didn't forget to lay a trap in his words.'

The six silently put away their guns, and Shu Renjun also withdrew his skill.

In the Instance, Chen Ran and the other two reached a tacit understanding, letting Chen Ran establish a Future Lie and pretend to be tricked into the lie of a wrong deduction, wanting to use this unknown information to trick the three in the third Secret Room out of a lie.

But Qiu Yinong, Lin Xuan, and the Big Gold Tooth did not fall for it.

Lin Xuan pretended to fall for it, seemingly turning the tables on Chen Ran, but in reality, it was bait.

Logically speaking, Lin Xuan's Judgment failed and he carried a lie on him. As long as Chen Ran used his skill fast enough, Lin Xuan would definitely die.

But the problem was, who the hell knew if this Lin Xuan was the Lin Xuan of this space?

Both sides were showing off to each other.

Both were using unknown information, wanting to trick the other party in a Lie-Judgment, yet neither succeeded.

At this time, Hua Changsheng approached Chen Ran with a strange expression and said: "I thought you would give Qiu Yinong a little hint, but just now you kept staring at Lin Xuan. Were you planning to scam even your own teammate?"

'A clumsy scheme to sow discord.'

Chen Ran not looking at Qiu Yinong was the best hint. If he had truly been tricked into a lie, he would have definitely looked at Qiu Yinong. Upon receiving the signal, Qiu Yinong would have immediately used her skill, and then convinced Lin Xuan to transfer space to eliminate the lie on Chen Ran. But Chen Ran didn't ask Qiu Yinong for help at all, so the answer was self-evident.

Chen Ran took a puff of his cigarette: "I probably haven't seen your skill yet. Aren't you planning to use it?"

Hua Changsheng: "..."

When a person is speechless, they will be very speechless. With the Deceiver's Tongue around, no matter how formidable her skill was, a single Eternal Kingdom...

Would knock it back to its original form.

Perhaps it was only in this kind of situation that the players in Hell could profoundly realize the perversity of Eternal Kingdom.

Give him a lie, and his skill would be completely unreasonable.

The idle chatter ended.

Chen Ran and Shu Renjun spontaneously sized up Hua Changsheng. In Lin Xuan's Instance, her performance was by the book, yet she could skillfully avoid the probes of the two.

In other words, up until now, their knowledge regarding Hua Changsheng was practically zero.

But one thing was certain: she would participate in all the upcoming Instances.

As long as Chen Ran didn't participate, she would use her skill in the Instance.

Her skill was Superego-tier, and she was a subordinate of the Floor Master of the ninth floor of the Deceiver Alliance.

One could imagine that her skill must be extremely outrageous.

The next one was the Big Gold Tooth's Instance. The Big Gold Tooth couldn't register. Qiu Yinong and Lin Xuan would definitely register. These two wouldn't hand their fates over to others. Shu Renjun would also definitely choose to register. Then...

The next Instance might be an opportunity for Chen Ran's party.

In other words, in the next Instance, there was a high probability Chen Ran would not use Eternal Kingdom.

…

【Shu Renjun gains 1 point.】

【Chen Ran gains 1 point.】

【Hua Changsheng gains 1 point.】

【Instance Number 2 is about to open.】

【The number of registrants must not be less than two.】

【Please begin registration...】

There was nothing much to say about all three of them gaining points.

The clear condition for Lin Xuan's Instance was that all three survive, and the three joined forces to clear the Instance. There was no such thing as being carried to victory, so they all gained points.

【Hua Changsheng registers for Instance Number 2.】

【Qiu Yinong registers for Instance Number 2.】

【Lin Xuan registers for Instance Number 2.】

【Shu Renjun registers for Instance Number 2.】

【Chen Ran registers for Instance Number 2.】

Apart from the Big Gold Tooth who could only watch helplessly, the other five all chose to register for Instance Number 2.

The Big Gold Tooth's skill was...

Golden Mouth and Jade Words.

When a person couldn't fulfill the Golden Mouth and Jade Words, then his words would become lies when heard by others.

Chen Ran had deduced the trigger mechanism for Golden Mouth and Jade Words in Wan Feng's Distance-Free space, but it was just a deduction and hadn't been confirmed.

Since Instance Number 2 was created by the Big Gold Tooth, then the Instance mechanism...

Might be related to Golden Mouth and Jade Words.
