To think a person like you would actually fall for this??!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Distance-Free Technique, the 【Angry】 Chen Ran pointed at the absolutely rational Chen Ran and laughed uproariously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rational Chen Ran lit a cigarette and watched the 【Angry】 Chen Ran finish laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he say faintly: \"Did you want to say that my reasoning just now conflicts with my questioning in the Three Gods Riddle earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he snapped his fingers. A light screen appeared in front of him, reading:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: The visitor may ask a single question to the three people, with only three chances. The three can only answer 1 or 2. Among them, the human can only tell the truth, the robot can only tell lies, and the cyborg's answer can be true or false.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look closely, this is the 【Rule】, not 【Rule 4】.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Principal's home, there are exactly three rules. There is no fourth rule.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 【Rule】 here is the game rule for players playing the 【Three Gods Riddle】.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, in the Three Gods Riddle, the three Principals know each other's identities; while in the question of who to choose, the three Principals do not know each other's identities. These two issues are independent of each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the evidence, it's very simple. If they weren't independent of each other, then the three would have known who the 【Human】 was from the very beginning. The robot doesn't care about personal feelings and would have definitely killed the 【Human】. But before you made a choice, the three of them did not kill each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To sum up, there is one and only one possibility: In the Three Gods Riddle, the three Principals know each other's identities; in the choosing issue, the three Principals do not know each other's identities. These two issues are independent, with no data sharing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rational Chen Ran finally finished his lengthy speech, and the logic was very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 【Angry】 Chen Ran applauded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, his expression changed, and he cursed: \"Are you a pig? Are you kidding me? If the Unity of Man and Heaven next door saw this, he'd think we couldn't even reason properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 【Angry】 Chen Ran changed his expression again, his brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly: \"Tell me, is there a possibility that we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the very beginning, have never left the virtual world? This... is the third layer of the Triple-Layer Simulation!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first layer is the emotional trap! Family affection, romantic love, friendship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second layer is the Common Sense trap! Not hearing 【Identity correct】 meant we hadn't cleared the stage and had to continue pretending to be a robot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third layer, which is the layer we are in now, logically should be a mood trap, but here it's an anti-Common Sense trap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, clearing the second layer, we heard 【Identity correct】.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this 【Identity correct】 doesn't necessarily mean returning to the real world. It could also be the third layer, meaning the simulation of us entering the Principal's home begins. Therefore, this command cannot be used as a reference for returning to the real world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secondly, don't you find the three rules in the Principal's home very strange?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The so-called rules are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My territory, my rules. Yet on the Principal's territory, there are no rules about when the Principal is at home, no rules about what to pay attention to, and no rules about the Principal's special characteristics. So what the hell are these three rules we got?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 【Angry】 Chen Ran snapped his fingers, and a light screen also appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule 1: In the school, there are two Principals. One is not a human, and the other is also not a human. Please carefully choose which Principal to handle it based on your purpose of visit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule 2: Different choices will lead to different subsequent plots.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule 3: No matter who you choose, there will be no certain-death subsequent plots in this Instance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do these three rules have much to do with the Principal's home? To put it bluntly, if you casually move the three Principals to any scene, these three rules would still apply, and they wouldn't affect the reasoning. You would still arrive at the answer you just got, with no change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, I suspect this isn't the Principal's real home at all. We are very likely still in the virtual world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me be clear first, I have no evidence. But proving my speculation is very simple. We are wearing white shoes now, so no one can kill us. We just need to wait for the countdown to end and see if the scene changes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash of lightning, the two lines of thought intertwined in Chen Ran's mind, causing him to not dare take that step, his right foot frozen in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because he knew that as long as he stepped out, he might get lost in the virtual version of the Rule-based Weird Tale Instance. Even if he cleared the stage in the virtual version of the Rule-based Weird Tale Instance, he couldn't possibly get any points. After all, he hadn't yet cleared the stage in the real version of the Rule-based Weird Tale Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had encountered scenarios where reality and illusion were mixed before, but basically, there were obvious loopholes. However, this time, the intensity was clearly unparalleled compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because, before lifting his foot, he had never even considered that this was a virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was a virtual world, Chen Ran would break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he would rejoice that there were no other players or Shu Renjun here, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first lesson of arriving in Hell was taught by Diwu Zeyi, teaching him to beware of Emotional Deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next it remained to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the second lesson of arriving in Hell, Common Sense Deception, was taught by Shu Renjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and retracted his right foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting quietly. Just as the 【Angry】 Chen Ran said, having white shoes, he could afford to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting was undoubtedly agonizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, in the end, it was proven that this was the second lesson of arriving in Hell, then this Hell was too terrifying. A Five-Star player could make Chen Ran unable to distinguish between reality and virtuality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't a Six-Star player be heaven-defying?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more terrifying was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon clearing this Hell Dungeon, if Chen Ran didn't delay the time he exited, he would run right into the 【Hell Great Escape】 event. At that time, only the ninety stone pillar rules would remain in the 18th Level, and high-star players could ignore star rank differences and attack low-star players like Chen Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the logic above, a top-tier Five-Star player could already make it very difficult for Chen Ran to distinguish reality from virtuality. A high-star player would simply be dealing him a dimensional strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he withstand it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't!\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5394ac487ac3f31a9b1230d4e39dd882b9a16d987ac8e3763b1ac29745c2415","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-413","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-411",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
