Below the hole should be a basement, with many robot remains piled inside. Down there...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should be the real Scrapyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan visually estimated the height. It was about three meters. Therefore, he threw the robot remains into the hole, and then found a board from the room to cover the hole. It not only covered the hole completely but was also quite a bit larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted the board, jumped down, and let go, the board covering the hole again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Whisperer: Magic Cube World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of the Scrapyard and looking at the staff coming and going in the laboratory, he couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself that since the rules weren't posted in a conspicuous place, it meant the rules were posted in some important room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What room would be important?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: The room of the Laboratory Building's manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: A classified room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Should I hide in a certain room and randomly knock out a staff member who comes in?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This plan was vetoed by him. With his mortal flesh and blood, he couldn't beat a robot at all. Even with a sneak attack, he couldn't knock one out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have it!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan's body flickered, and his shoes turned into red leather shoes. He casually walked around the laboratory while counting silently in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'1, 2, 3, 4... 10!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is it 10 seconds?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he turned his head, he once again saw the robot Chen Ran, and raised his middle finger at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was obvious. Lin Xuan was once again captured alive by Chen Ran and disemboweled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper level of the Scrapyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stroked his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Previously, I was discovered by Chen Ran at around 10 seconds as well.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he directly pushed open the door, walked inside the laboratory, and counted silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'7, 8, 9, 10... 11, 12...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two and a half minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you still doing here?\" Hearing this, Lin Xuan turned his head and saw the researcher from before staring at him coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head, clear and foolish university student-like innocence appearing in his eyes: \"Um, sorry, I got lost just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the researcher raised his palm, aimed it at him, and a laser pierced through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper level of the Scrapyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'F*ck! Even I am having such a hard time, it's hard to imagine how Chen Ran and the others are supposed to clear this!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'After two experiments.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This conclusion can be drawn: wearing red leather shoes will actually expose your identity faster.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But, not wearing red leather shoes, and wandering around as a student who escorted someone in, you have two and a half minutes after leaving the Scrapyard before being killed by the staff.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Counting the time to enter and take the remains to the Scrapyard, it's about...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, his body flickered again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Exactly five minutes!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, there is a rule in the Laboratory Building: Non-staff members can stay in the Laboratory Building for a maximum of five minutes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'My True Form is in the lower level of the Scrapyard. As long as no one finds me, I can hide for a long time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, once five minutes are up, as long as I come out, I will be killed.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sure enough, another trap!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shu Renjun hid the rules in the Laboratory Building. He knew that if I wanted to find out what the rules were, I would have to hide my True Form well.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No wonder the Scrapyard was designed like that.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It was deliberately to lure me to jump down. By now, five minutes have long passed in the original space. In other words, as long as my True Form comes out in the original space, it will be killed by the staff in the Laboratory Building.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most painful thing in this world is when you realize you love someone, want to contact her and pursue her, only to find that her second child is already old enough to buy soy sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this, Lin Xuan had just deduced that he could only stay in the Laboratory Building for five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he discovered that the five minutes in the original space had long since passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly a certain-death situation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, one of Lin Xuan's six spaces had already been crippled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was the original space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that no matter how much he retracted or used his skill, he only had five spaces available until this Instance ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the five spaces, since the time in the original space was missed, the spaces with faster time flow must have also missed the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he truly only had two or three spaces left to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as time passed, the spaces with slower time flow would also gradually miss the five-minute mark. When the time in all six spaces was missed, he would undoubtedly die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There are still three spaces left.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'To be safe, I have to let a Lin Xuan in one space directly leave the Laboratory Building after tossing the robot remains.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, I currently only have two spaces I can use. Let me see...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In the two spaces.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One space: The robot Lin Xuan and I just left the Health Building.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One space: I am currently lying on the hospital bed in the Infirmary.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Taking the space lying on the hospital bed as the final reference, I have about...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Half an hour!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, in half an hour, the time in these two spaces would play out to five minutes after arriving at the Laboratory Building. Therefore, the two spaces would be crippled, and coming out would mean death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Half an hour, each time going out as a student takes two and a half minutes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I still have 12 chances!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but recall the circular structure of the Laboratory Building and frowned slightly. In the middle was a super-large laboratory, and on the four sides were six floors with an unknown number of rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had 12 chances, he only had two and a half minutes each time, and he had to start from scratch after each time ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost impossible to finish searching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Searching blindly, I feel I eventually won't be able to find the rules.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Here, I have to consider the issue of Strategies of Escaping and Pursuing.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strategies of Escaping and Pursuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mentioned before, if it was just a simple escape and pursuit, it would be a contest of who runs faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as an escaper, you have no idea if the person chasing you is faster than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, if you want to not be caught, you must set up smoke screens and traps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smoke screens, to make the other party not know which direction you ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traps, setting up traps occasionally while escaping to kill the pursuers behind you, and then continuing to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the pursuing side doesn't just blindly chase. First, they have to know the direction the target is escaping. Second, they have to remove or bypass the traps the target set along the way, ensuring they always maintain the identity of a hunter, not prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the same logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he blindly went to find the rules, then this game between Lin Xuan and Shu Renjun would just be a simple hide-and-seek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides relying on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, one might think there's a problem: if Shu Renjun directly hid the rules in some obscure corner, such as under a certain floorboard, wouldn't Lin Xuan be absolutely dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is no. Instances created by players conform to the same rules as Hell Dungeons, which means following the Decryption Protocol. Simply put, you can hide the answer very trickily, but you cannot not provide clues, clues that the player can see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for both people to ensure their own victory, they must use Strategies of Hiding and Seeking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Renjun had to hide the rules in a place Lin Xuan absolutely couldn't find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan, on the other hand, had to consider where that absolutely unfindable place was, as well as...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem of Darkness Under the Lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>",1474,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","c1232a64dc54cbaa5857ef1f7a3cf7ef72fe79570936f46b8e91f101fe4bbf79","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-399","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-397",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
