Just as she was about to walk towards the square grids leading to the statue on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran blocked her figure and stepped in front of the right-side square grids first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changsheng shrugged and walked towards the square grids leading to the statue on the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Renjun blocked her figure and preemptively stood in front of the left-side square grids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changsheng was speechless: \"Come on, you've already deduced the result, there's no need to hide it. Just say your deduction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiu Yinong immediately looked at Chen Ran, who was about to speak, and signaled him with her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a problem here. In the Instance created by Hua Changsheng, did players still have to follow the principle that there is no lying in Instance deductions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran took a drag of his cigarette and said: \"Before I died, I was a novel author. Sometimes when writing a story, I would often write the same story from multiple perspectives. The advantage of writing this way is that it allows the readers to understand the truth more comprehensively.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, several suspects all recount the course of events from their own standpoints, and the result is usually multiple versions of the incident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Renjun nodded: \"This involves a theory: unreliable narrator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, the storyteller has biases, misunderstandings, and deceptions, which leads the listener to be unable to trust them completely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiu Yinong, Lin Xuan, and Big Gold Tooth agreed very much. To sum it up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A one-sided story, for reference only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong pondered: \"The three Secret Rooms seem to tell three stories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first Secret Room: The adult designed a situation where a third person broke into the house, scuffled with him, and both fell out the window simultaneously. The third person fell to his death, while the adult was hung upside down outside the building by a pre-prepared rope. The little girl edited a message, wanting the police to confirm the adult's crime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second Secret Room: The story is a bit strange, it seems to unfold from the neighbors' perspectives. Someone saw the adult drinking, someone was cursing in the hallway, someone pulled the power switch, etc.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third Secret Room...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking up to here, Qiu Yinong did not continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran took over: \"The rest of the plot is in this Instance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he looked at the two statues: \"We can understand it as: the little girl ultimately backstabbed the adult and the third person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran was avoiding lying, but the crowd looked at the statues, which had their backs to them, and pressing the red button on the statues' backs indeed symbolized backstabbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, we can find the logical flaws in the three stories, and we should be able to piece together the complete story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logical flaws naturally belonged to unreliable narration. As long as the logical flaws were resolved, the truth of the story could be restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran was about to throw away his cigarette butt, but after thinking about it, he stubbed out the cigarette, put it in his pocket, and lit a new one. He looked at Shu Renjun: \"I thought you would continue talking. It seems you only just noticed something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Renjun ignored this verbal sparring, so apart from Hua Changsheng, everyone waited for Chen Ran to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the first story, there are two logical flaws: One, killing a suspect who breaks into your house to commit murder is justifiable self-defense. The adult had no need to carefully design it this way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two, according to the first Secret Room, by checking the adult's room, we found medicine for treating mental illness. In other words, the adult is a mentally ill patient. Legally speaking, a mentally ill person committing murder can be exempt from punishment, at most being sent to a mental hospital. The adult had even less need to carefully design a murder incident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, we can reach this possible conclusion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is, actually, the adult was fundamentally unable to physically kill the third person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was startled. Logically speaking, if someone holding a murder weapon breaks into your home and you kill them in return, it is definitely justifiable self-defense; legally speaking, if you are mentally ill, even if you kill someone, you won't be sentenced. Therefore, it should have been very, very simple for the adult to kill the third person at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, a sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was fundamentally no need to design a situation where he luckily survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even though Chen Ran's conclusion was unimaginable, it was reasonable: namely, the adult could not kill the third person on a physical level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the second story, there are also two logical flaws: One, when the cat catches the mouse, the mouse turns into a Ghost State. This supernatural phenomenon definitely defies logic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two, in the amnesiac Plot Simulation, Murderer A and Murderer B ultimately had the same killing mechanism, which was that as long as they met the condition of not exceeding three people, they could kill at will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran emphasized 【ultimately】, meaning that after Murderer C died, Murderer B would have the same killing mechanism as Murderer A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, we can reach this possible conclusion: Between the adult and the third person, one is a physical entity, and the other is a physical entity under certain circumstances and not a physical entity under other circumstances; and the third person is universally aggressive, while the adult is only aggressive towards the third person under certain circumstances, but universally aggressive under other circumstances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Gold Tooth also lit a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It is indeed like this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When the mouse hasn't been caught by the cat, the mouse is a physical entity. When the mouse is caught by the cat, the mouse is not a physical entity; when the little girl is alive, the adult only has murderous intent towards the third person. If the little girl dies, the adult has murderous intent towards anyone.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In these two games, the cat and the little girl are both variable factors, so...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The little girl is the cat catching the mouse!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran took a deep puff of his cigarette and frowned: \"I've deduced up to here, do you still want me to continue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to continue: \"Logically speaking, the plot of this Instance is that the little girl backstabbed the adult and the third person. But according to our previous deduction, the third person fell to his death, so the little girl can only backstab the adult. The little girl backstabbing both the adult and the third person doesn't make logical sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, we can reach this possible conclusion: The little girl backstabbing the adult is equal to backstabbing the third person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Ran used the word 【possible】 to avoid lying when stating his conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that he was avoiding the situation where a deduction error equaled lying in this Instance created by Hua Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Putting the three possible conclusions together, it means...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The adult and the third person are the same person under certain circumstances, and not the same person under other circumstances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Chen Ran didn't use the word 【personality】 here was also very simple, because in the amnesiac Plot Simulation, Murderer A had his own room, therefore the third person was a person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a personality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A Chimera!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A Chimera!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A Chimera!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, the same three words flashed in the minds of the four people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Chimera, simply put, is when during the embryonic stage of twins, one absorbs the other, resulting in one person having the DNA of two people. But in this Instance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan frowned and said: \"Are you saying that the absorbed one actually still has self-awareness? The adult and the third person are an existence of two lives in one body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","f9c3f59c966a5698a1994a1dfeefe5e19c53fa1028664fa44a26c892d923b24a","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-422","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-420",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
