To be exact, 1.2 meters\u002Fsecond is the speed of an adult female.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, although I am thin and weak, I am taller than Qiu Yinong, and Qiu Yinong's height is above average among females. No matter how I look at it, my speed shouldn't be 1.2 meters\u002Fsecond.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unless... this body I am currently in is Qiu Yinong's, or Qiu Yinong and I are both in the same female body right now.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Here, I need to analyze who exactly is the adult and who is the third person between her and me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In the plot, the adult cannot physically kill the third person.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But, the adult still designed a scenario where the third person broke in to commit murder.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The reason is very simple.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Judging from the ideal outcome the adult designed: the adult is hung outside the building, and the third person falls from a high altitude and is crushed to death.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, the adult wanted to make the third person mentally deny that he was still alive.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Then, the adult knows that he and the third person share the same body; while the third person does not know that he and the adult share the same body.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This point can be proven by the fact that the third person broke in with a murder weapon. After all, the third person cannot physically kill the adult. Since that's the case, why would he wield a murder weapon? Unless he doesn't know he shares the same body with the adult.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That's not all!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'During the process of the 【murder case】, the adult and the third person 【scuffled】.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This shows that the consciousness of both people can appear simultaneously.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Conclusion: The adult has a continuous perspective, while the third person only has their own perspective.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Simply put, when the third person controls the body, the adult is a bystander; but when the adult controls the body, the third person is...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unconscious.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Chen Ran habitually lit a cigarette, his throat so dry it almost started smoking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coughing violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next, what I need to do is determine whether I am the adult or the third person.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How do I determine this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Very simple. I walk forward. If there is a discontinuity along the way, it means I am the third person. If there is no discontinuity...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It means I am the adult. If I am the adult, then it will be troublesome.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before doing that, Chen Ran had to make something resembling a wooden stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were no materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this couldn't stump him. He untied his shoelaces, tied the two together to make them about two meters long, tied one end to the butt of his Liar-Slayer, and held the other end in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step he took, Chen Ran stopped, threw the Liar-Slayer forward, and judged whether its movement trajectory was complete to determine if there were any discontinuities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no discontinuities, Chen Ran would quickly pull the Liar-Slayer back via the shoelace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Liar-Slayer would only disappear if the player died, dropping it on the highway might result in it being temporarily confiscated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran had only seen two types of bulletin boards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a third type, then there would be two combinations. The first type: 【Skull, Little Girl, Unknown, Skull, Little Girl.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second type: 【Skull, Unknown, Little Girl, Skull.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the skull represented odd hundreds of meters, and the little girl represented even hundreds of meters, the unknown bulletin board would definitely have nothing to do with the hundred-meter marks, therefore it would only appear between the skull and the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Chen Ran only needed to test 300 meters to get the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these 300 meters, with every step he took, he would throw out the Liar-Slayer and observe its movement. If he didn't find any discontinuities, he would continue walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the 300-meter test, Chen Ran stood in place with a somewhat ugly expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am the adult!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have a continuous perspective, which symbolizes here that I am the one walking the entire journey.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It depends on whether Qiu Yinong can deduce this layer of meaning.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If she can deduce this layer, she should understand that I am the one walking the entire journey.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Meaning, my clearing the stage equals her clearing the stage!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The only thing she needs to do is stand in place and not move, so as not to drag me down.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran stood in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the condition of his body and estimated it couldn't hold on for much longer. Therefore, he would only give Qiu Yinong one hour. After one hour, Chen Ran would continue walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he then thought that Qiu Yinong had the Wheel of Time, so she should be able to deduce the answer very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll give her half an hour!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Whisperer·Wheel of Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky turned black, but the temperature didn't drop noticeably. Qiu Yinong retracted her skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Wooden Man game requires cooperation, but the highway game has no way to cooperate.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Chen Ran walked a segment of the distance for me, but we still haven't reached the finish line, which means whether he and I walk or return, we are dragging each other down.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, according to the setting, no matter which direction Chen Ran and I walk, for example, if I walk 100 meters and Chen Ran walks 100 meters, for this body, it has only walked 0 meters.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Actually, thinking simply, as long as Chen Ran deduced that we share the same body, he should know that I would let him walk first.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But the difficulty lies here.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I stop, he walks, but I don't know when he will reach the finish line. Only when he reaches the finish line can I walk.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong looked at her Watch, thinking that with Chen Ran's intelligence, he should have already deduced that one person needed to walk and one person needed to stop. So at this moment, Chen Ran might be waiting for her to deduce the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she felt...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had already deduced the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Qiu Yinong hesitated over whether to give Chen Ran an hour to walk to the finish line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But I cannot be certain if stopping for an hour will allow him to reach the finish line.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'According to the Decryption Protocol, this type of Instance would not be created.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is one and only one possibility: there is a problem with my deduction logic.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Whisperer·Wheel of Time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Suppress Mental State!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, she had plenty of time to sort out her deduction again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, Hua Changsheng's Instance is closely related to the plot. Therefore, the highway game will definitely involve the plot of the Hell Dungeon.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Second, the Wooden Man game requires the cooperation of two players, so the theme of the highway game should also be cooperation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Finally, how should we cooperate, and when should we cooperate?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let's tackle the first question first.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The plot of the Hell Dungeon has already been explained very clearly by Chen Ran earlier.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The adult and the third person are a Chimera.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'During the embryonic stage, one absorbed the other, but the consciousness of the absorbed one was preserved.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is a question here: between the adult and the third person, who is the absorbed one?'\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","ecd9de040ffde4ca6f4ddb3b990aad15f1bcc81e3918c4f7bb09e949614b6351","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-426","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-424",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
