Chapter 428: Barely Passing, Passing, and Extraordinary Performance (2)

There are three people in front of me.

Just now, who was trembling?

Strange.

In a daze, I saw.

Shu Renjun was trembling.

Hua Changsheng was smiling.

When I wanted to look carefully, I found that the expressions of the two hadn't changed from beginning to end.

Is it intuition again?

Looking at it this way, I'm actually very talented, it's just that I relied too much on my skills before.

For example, Chen Ran's murderous intent, Shu Renjun's trembling, Hua Changsheng's excitement.

Is this foreseeing the future?

Too awesome!

Compared to the Observation Haki in One Piece, I don't know how many times stronger it is.

No wonder I was suppressed everywhere by Chen Ran and Shu Renjun before. It turns out that skills are just an embellishment; one's own strength is true strength.

Continuing the previous deduction.

The exam question from Chen Ran:

【How should I protect myself?】

Since this exam question exists, it means that right at this moment, I am already in immense danger.

Who does the danger come from?

I looked at the five people.

First, Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong. The two are immobilized by the Wooden Men, so they can be ruled out.

Second, Cui Yu. He is dead set on perishing together with Shu Renjun. Ruled out.

Then, Shu Renjun. He is like a clay Buddha crossing a river—unable to save even himself. Ruled out.

Finally...

I looked at Hua Changsheng.

Gradually, countless pieces of information converged in my mind. I went from doubtful, to puzzled, to confused, to suddenly enlightened, to shocked, to fearful.

Until I was trembling.

What the fuck!

This guy...

First of all, according to the second Secret Room of the Hell Dungeon, it can be deduced that...

Hua Changsheng's skill should be able to change the decryption gameplay. After all, the second Secret Room of the Instance is too similar to Shu Renjun's skill. If this is a coincidence, I'll wash my hair doing a handstand.

The third Secret Room of the Instance, which was players creating their own Instances, can also prove this point.

She is also a Ghost Whisperer.

So, from Hua Changsheng's perspective.

She is invincible.

If True Self does not appear, Superego is invincible.

However, it just so happened that Chen Ran, this True Self Player, appeared in this Instance.

Eternal Kingdom counters all skills.

She is no longer invincible.

For her, the only thing she needs to do in this Instance is to erase Chen Ran, this influencing factor, or...

Ban Chen Ran from using skills!

Erasing him is very difficult.

After all, Chen Ran's intelligence, his two types of Heart Cultivation, and his skills are all laid out there.

But banning Chen Ran from using skills.

Is very simple.

For example...

Now! Right at this moment!

She just needs to design a segment in her own Instance where Chen Ran is unable to move, and that would be equivalent to banning him from using skills.

I abruptly looked towards...

Chen Ran, who was immobilized by the Wooden Men.

The Wooden Men haven't turned their heads back yet!!!

I looked at my Watch.

There are less than five minutes left until the effect of Eternal Kingdom ends. Once it ends, Chen Ran will be immobilized by the Wooden Men and unable to use skills.

Hua Changsheng will be invincible!

Therefore, logically speaking, Chen Ran had already deduced from the beginning:

In Hua Changsheng's Instance, there will definitely be a segment that immobilizes him for an hour!

For example, the Wooden Man game.

No matter which group Chen Ran is in, he will be immobilized by the Wooden Men.

The time will definitely be one hour.

The reason is also very simple. Regardless of whether Chen Ran uses Eternal Kingdom before entering this Instance or before participating in the Wooden Man game.

As long as the Wooden Men immobilize Chen Ran for an hour, the effect of Eternal Kingdom...

Will definitely end.

It's just that I'm very curious, what exactly is Hua Changsheng's skill?

(Previously, when Hua Changsheng used her skill, Lin Xuan's group of four hadn't cleared the stage yet.)

Wait.

We came down wearing Game Helmets.

This is a virtual world.

Is there a possibility that the entire Hell Dungeon is a virtual world?

If that's the case.

Connecting it to the second Secret Room, then Hua Changsheng's skill should be...

Able to tamper with virtual world data!

Holy shit!

Now is Instance No. 3, which is also the fourth Instance created by the players.

If...

She uses her skill to tamper with our score statistics, changing them all to zero points, and then tampers with her total score, changing it to...

Four points!!!

Then, she will be the highest scorer in the absolute sense. The remaining two Instances won't even need to be carried out; it can proceed directly to Settlement. After all, even if we can score points in the remaining two Instances, it will only be two points, so the Instance will carry out a Forced Settlement.

We will be obliterated!

Conclusion...

If Hua Changsheng is allowed to use her skill.

We will all have to die!

Wait, is this right?

Yes!

As long as the situation of Chen Ran being immobilized for an hour occurs, then this deduction...

Must definitely be right!

But the problem is...

Since this is the case, why didn't Hua Changsheng directly trap Chen Ran in the virtual world, making him temporarily unable to clear the stage and come out?

For example, designing a decryption that takes a very long time to complete.

Wait.

A virtual world nested within a virtual world, nested within another virtual world. Would it be like Inception, where in the deepest virtual world, the flow of time becomes very slow?

(From an omniscient perspective, an hour had already long passed for Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong during the highway decryption, but in the Wooden Man game, an hour hadn't finished yet.)

I looked at my Watch again.

Three minutes left.

No, if this were the case, Shu Renjun would have probably deduced this answer long ago.

Why didn't he stop it?

Oh, he had no way to stop it. After all, he is dead either way, as far as the current situation goes.

He has two ways to die.

One: Tricked to death by Cui Yu.

Two: Tricked to death by Hua Changsheng.

No matter which one, he doesn't have any chance to struggle, unless...

I swap him with the him from other spaces, letting Cui Yu unknowingly trick to death the Shu Renjun from another space.

But if this were the case, logically he should have reminded me or negotiated terms with me.

Wait!

There's a variable, and that is Qiu Yinong. She has the Wheel of Time. Even if she is immobilized by the Wooden Men, she can still move.

Simply put.

As long as I use my skill, Qiu Yinong will immediately use her skill.

It's a bit chaotic.

This game of chess involves Hua Changsheng's skill, my skill, and Qiu Yinong's skill.

There's also the question of Shu Renjun's life and death, and Chen Ran's murderous intent.

For me.

One step is Heaven, one step is Hell.

I need to sort this out properly...

To hell with sorting!

Time is slipping away. I can clearly feel the sound of the mechanical Watch's second hand ticking.

It's like an electric current, constantly stimulating my heart and my nerves.

No!

No!

Chen Ran has a killing move!

Qiu Yinong's skill can change the position of objects. For example, it can make an object that has already moved return to its position from five minutes ago.

They cleared the stage.

The Wooden Men turned their heads. Therefore, calculating from the instant the Wooden Men turned their heads, if Qiu Yinong uses her skill within the next five minutes, she can return the Wooden Men to their original position, which is the instant the Wooden Men turned their heads.

She can remind Chen Ran to immediately use Eternal Kingdom.

Thinking of this.

I looked at Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong again and found that standing to their rear left, I could only see the left sides of their bodies.

So, I walked to the right side, and the subsequent scene made my heart skip a beat.

Although their right hands were not resting on their respective Liar-Slayers, their right hands were hanging straight down. Like Western cowboys about to duel, they had already made...

Preparations to draw their guns at any moment!

No way, does it have to be this exaggerated?

Distance-Free Technique!

The two of them must have secretly communicated through the Distance-Free Technique when we weren't paying attention.

Is this the exam question given by Chen Ran?
