The BOSS of this Instance is the protagonist of a novel the creator read before death. Due to his IQ being too high, please try to stay united, otherwise it will be difficult to clear the Instance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Special Reminder: Due to the BOSS being overly powerful, the Instance time limit is 2 hours. Once the time ends, the BOSS will automatically die.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Special Reminder: For every person the BOSS BOSS kills, his existence time is extended by two hours.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five hadn't even appeared in the Instance yet. Their consciousness in the darkness heard the prompts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'IQ too high?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four words were a bit piercing to the ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Overly powerful?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The BOSS will automatically die? In other words, if we can't kill the BOSS in two hours, this Instance will automatically end. Then the five people participating in the Instance won't get any points?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, the Big Gold Tooth was simply too sinister. He knew in advance that the Instance creator couldn't participate in their own Instance, so he created an Instance where it was impossible to score points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Secret Room. There were six people in the Secret Room, and besides that, nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say, you five, what is there to examine in this Secret Room? And your gazes intentionally or unintentionally fall on me. Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. You can look openly and aboveboard. I'll let you look your fill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person speaking was a youth with a thin figure and a head full of white hair, smoking a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth had fair skin. His upper body wore a blue short-sleeved shirt, and his lower body wore sweatpants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys examine first. Let me check my own body.\" Soon after, the youth muttered to himself: \"No panel, so the weapons, cultivation methods, and supreme treasures I stored in the panel have all completely disappeared. Saying it like this, I'm not the me in my memory, but someone created by someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a Secret Room. Since it's a Secret Room, then we need to escape from the Secret Room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although these five people appeared in the Secret Room with me, they all intentionally or unintentionally gather their gazes on me. And the Secret Room doesn't have any other clues. In other words, the solution to clear the Secret Room is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking up to here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth scanned the five people: \"Come on, I'd like to know how you guys will kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the five frown, the youth asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I must remind you. Although this body of mine was created, my experience in life-and-death combat is quite abundant. I'm very good at dodging bullets and things like that.\" The youth nonchalantly glanced at the guns at their waists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he walked up to Chen Ran and reached out to touch him, but was bounced away. The youth did a mid-air spin and landed steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is like this. If we could fight in this Secret Room, I could beat you all to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All understood the logic of this Instance. Put simply, there was only one clear condition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trick the BOSS into a lie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an Instance created by the Big Gold Tooth. The youth was equivalent to Hua Changsheng. As long as he was tricked into a lie, he could be Judged to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, they suddenly thought of...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【IQ too high】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the youth's performance just now, he indeed possessed an extremely high IQ. In just a dozen seconds, he confirmed his identity and the clear condition for the five in the Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the youth should not have deduced the Supreme Rule of the Hell Instance yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the players would have no way to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, what the five needed to do was, before the youth deduced the... Supreme Rule, trick him into a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the youth had high intelligence. Once he discovered that the five were trying to trick him into a Lie-Judgment, and thereby deduced the Supreme Rule, it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they couldn't just casually try to trick him into a lie, but rather had to probe first...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth squatted on the ground, leisurely smoking his cigarette, and looked with interest at...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people making eyes at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at the youth, and the Distance-Free Technique was cast at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground, covered his head, and rolled all over the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Lin Xuan was replaced. The newly appeared and completely unscathed Lin Xuan stared fixedly at the youth, sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now in the Distance-Free space, the youth shattered his Distance-Free space with just a single look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I say you, you must have too much free time. Why use a Psionic Attack on me? Although in my memory I was called someone with a combat power of 5, when it comes to Psionic Attacks, I've truly never feared anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, the Distance-Free Technique is useless against this BOSS in front of us?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck, from which novel did the Big Gold Tooth find this protagonist?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's unfair, on what basis can you use special abilities?\" The youth pointed at the recovered Lin Xuan and said indignantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired youth had said so many things but hadn't triggered Golden Mouth and Jade Words. Shu Renjun felt that this Instance probably didn't involve the mechanism of Golden Mouth and Jade Words, just like Lin Xuan's Instance didn't involve spatial transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, it made sense. If everyone created an Instance based on what they were good at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what they were good at would be known to the players present. Thus, they would pay special attention to the areas the creator was good at in the Instance. In other words, if a player created an Instance according to what they were good at, it would instead become a weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four looked at Chen Ran. Chen Ran was a novel author before death. They wanted to know if he had read this novel before his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The best way to quit novels is to... write novels.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still carefully recalled it. Among the novels he had read, there indeed was a white-haired youth. But according to the description in the novel, it didn't match the youth in front of him. The youth should be the protagonist of an unknown novel. Chen Ran shook his head at the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Room became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their first time facing this kind of Instance that was simple to the extreme, yet also complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the youth finish his cigarette, Chen Ran handed him another one: \"How should I address you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Ou.\" The youth took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and looked at Chen Ran: \"The guns on you guys probably require me to trigger a certain mechanism before they can be used, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you deduce it?\" Chen Ran wasn't surprised and asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a bit of a clue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's hear it.\" Chen Ran continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy.\" The white-haired youth pointed at Lin Xuan: \"As soon as he came up, he used a Psionic Attack on me. But the intensity of his Psionic Attack was lacking; it couldn't even wipe out the mind of an ordinary person. Therefore, it can't kill anyone, at most it can cause mental overdraft or make someone delirious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His purpose in doing this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are two possibilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One: make me delirious, and take the opportunity to kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two: a delirious person might say certain things, and among them, some special words might violate the mechanism of the handguns at your waists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I lean more towards the second one. After all, you guys didn't immediately rush up to punch and kick me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of words would violate the mechanism on your waists? I'll have to think carefully about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'《IQ too high》'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment Chen Ran finally understood the weight of these four words in the Instance prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fucking hell, in just one encounter, he almost stripped us down to our underwear.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ou smiled at Chen Ran and asked: \"I seem to feel that your pressure has multiplied. I advise you not to do useless work. Actually, when I saw you guys at first glance, I knew that in front of me, you are like ants. Savor it, savor my words carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two words 【seem】 and 【like】 to avoid lies were like a Dusk Drum and Dawn Bell, striking Chen Ran's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, bro, didn't you just say you were going to think carefully? How come you...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Already thought of the answer?!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu Yinong!\" Chen Ran shouted in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute!\" Seeing that beautiful woman draw her gun, Lin Ou hurriedly called out to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head to look at Chen Ran, revealing a devilish smile that showed two rows of teeth: \"Remember to hand me another cigarette later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran widened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's so surprising about this? Since I have already deduced your killing mechanism, then logically speaking, you guys won't be able to play anymore. But you shouted that beauty's name. Then connecting it to the youth's special ability from just now, presumably, that beauty should also have a special ability. You calling her means her special ability can let you guys continue playing. Other than erasing memory and time reset, I truly can't think of any other special ability that can let you guys continue playing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are you the fucking devil?'\u003C\u002Fp>",1643,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9a346ecc40349ed9c938b763f4290bf1813465eb59592052e6afe09dd774723","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-389","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-387",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
