The Homeroom Teacher must have a pair of blue leather shoes at their feet.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule Three: The Homeroom Teacher is very obsessed with fantasy novels, always imagining himself as a sect elder who ignores mundane affairs. Please correct his thoughts and make him believe in science.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule Four: Students can seek help from teachers. There are two and only two opportunities to ask questions.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule Five: When the class bell rings, any student located within the Teaching Building must immediately return to the classroom.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the rules, Chen Ran glanced at the time on his watch. There were still six minutes before class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, I must deduce the meaning of the rules and leave the Teaching Building within these six minutes, otherwise it's certain death.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First is Rule One.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Teachers dislike students who snitch. The Homeroom Teacher is also a teacher, so I cannot directly say what the Math Teacher did.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just like avoiding a lie, I must avoid the act of snitching.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next is Rule Two.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Homeroom Teacher must have a pair of blue leather shoes at their feet. The Homeroom Teacher must have a pair of blue leather shoes at their feet. There's a problem with the wording.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Having blue leather shoes at their feet doesn't state that the Homeroom Teacher is definitely wearing blue leather shoes.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'At the feet and wearing are two different things.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But the problem is, why does Rule Two repeat the content twice?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then is Rule Three.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This rule is the deadliest among the five rules. So here comes the problem.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How do you make a fantasy novel fanatic believe in science?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, perhaps Shu Renjun also felt this rule was too difficult, so he mentioned in Rule Four that one could seek help from a teacher.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Two opportunities to seek help.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There's a problem here. Rule Four doesn't specify what aspect seeking help from the teacher refers to. Simply put, is it two opportunities for help regarding Rule Three, or are there only two opportunities for help in total?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If it's the former, it means there is a chance for trial and error. If it's the latter...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Homeroom Teacher is also a teacher. My snitching might use up one opportunity to seek help, so I would only have one opportunity to seek help to make the Homeroom Teacher believe in science.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A bit troublesome.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In this situation, I can only handle the problem assuming the latter, otherwise I will fall into a trap.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, if a player misunderstood Rule Four and used up the two opportunities to seek help from other teachers, there was a high probability they would be tricked to death when trying to avoid snitching for the third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran habitually reached into his pocket, but it was empty. He then remembered that previously, to be safe, he had thrown the rest of his cigarettes in the lower level of the Scrapyard in the Laboratory Building. After all, a student being caught smoking on campus was a very serious problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into the office again. There were seven teachers inside, all sitting at their workstations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, the positions of these seven teachers allowed Chen Ran to perfectly see the leather shoes they were wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six were wearing red leather shoes, and one middle-aged bald teacher was wearing blue leather shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this middle-aged bald teacher's desk, there was a radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a slight distance, Chen Ran could faintly hear the radio sounding out terms from fantasy novels: \"Great Accomplishment Holy Body,\" \"Bright Moon Rising from the Sea,\" \"Golden Lotus Planted in the Bitter Sea.\" The middle-aged bald teacher and the other teachers were listening with great relish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran noticed that every teacher had a job title placard on their desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the female Math Teacher's desk from before had a 【Math Teacher】 job title placard, while the placard on the middle-aged bald teacher's desk was placed in front of the radio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It read: Homeroom Teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Ran formulated a plan in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had to consider how to make the Homeroom Teacher believe in science?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Actually, this question can be changed to: Which is stronger, fantasy or science?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Regarding this topic, when I was alive, I saw similar discussions online, but both sides stuck to their own arguments with no conclusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'For example, fans of fantasy novels would talk about the combat power ceiling, while fans of sci-fi novels would talk about things like Dual-Vector Foil dimensionality reduction strikes. This belongs to Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong; the two systems cannot be compared.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Judging from the rules, I have one opportunity to seek help. Who should I seek help from?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Math Teacher? No.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Chinese Teacher? No.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Chemistry Teacher? No.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Homeroom Teacher? Even worse. He himself is a severe fantasy novel enthusiast; his answer will definitely lean towards fantasy novels.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran finally rested his gaze on...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Physics Teacher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having organized his wording in his heart, Chen Ran stepped into the office. In an instant, the seven teachers locked their gazes on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Chen Ran feel like he had thorns in his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without changing his expression, he came to the Physics Teacher's desk and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I have a question. According to the characteristics of wave-particle duality, we know that light and particles can exhibit interference and diffraction. So does the spiritual energy in fantasy novels also follow the characteristics of wave-particle duality?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the teacher wanted to answer his question, he must first independently judge whether spiritual energy was ultimately light or a particle, and only then analyze whether it followed the characteristics of wave-particle duality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, his question actually hid two questions, but one of the questions wasn't asked by him and required the teacher to judge independently. Therefore, there was only one question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Physics Teacher, an elderly man wearing thick glasses, seemed to get stuck upon hearing this, freezing for a full five seconds or so. Only then did he push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and ponder profoundly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fantasy novels, spiritual energy can be absorbed by the human body, indicating it is a particle. Since it is a particle, it follows the characteristics of wave-particle duality and can exhibit interference and diffraction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, if spiritual energy was a particle, it could be manipulated by science.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it even more simply, once spiritual energy could be manipulated by science, the entire energy system of fantasy novels would collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a source of power, how could cultivators possibly be a match for scientists?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Physics Teacher spoke, the middle-aged bald teacher's expression turned to one of astonishment, looking as if he was doubting life itself. At the same time, the voice from the radio came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Artificial Idiots are still easy to fool.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If this were netizens, wouldn't they debate with me for several hours?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, only these inexplicable questions could bluff an Artificial Idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After secretly rejoicing, Chen Ran came to the Homeroom Teacher's desk. At this moment, he was already about a meter away from the desk, but after thinking about it, he took two more steps forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his head to look at the desktop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Chen Ran's mouth curled up. Oh boy, on the desktop, faintly visible under the radio, was a photo of a pair of blue leather shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I didn't get closer, I wouldn't have been able to see this photo at all. Moreover, just now when it was confirmed that 【Science is stronger than Fantasy】, the radio, without anyone operating it...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Actually stopped on its own.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is Shu Renjun's Instance. From start to finish, you have to pay attention to details, otherwise, you will come up with the wrong version of the answer.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The radio is the Homeroom Teacher!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Just now, all seven teachers were listening to the radio, and after believing in science, the radio, without anyone operating it, stopped broadcasting the content of the fantasy novel.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Furthermore, at the foot of the radio is a photo of a pair of blue leather shoes. If the photo of blue leather shoes doesn't equal blue leather shoes, then the middle-aged bald teacher's feet have been kept under the desk the whole time. Under the desk is also at the foot of the radio, which perfectly matches the repeated content in Rule Two: 【The Homeroom Teacher must have blue leather shoes at their feet. The Homeroom Teacher must have a pair of blue leather shoes at their feet.】'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next is...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How to snitch!'\u003C\u002Fp>",1528,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","2964e2201851cbcb48f1d87b3d2e86608272004e76fd94405517688a2b4f5a67","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-404","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-402",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
