Chapter 441: Hell Great Escape (2)

~8 min read 1,485 words

At the front door was a long-faced man in his thirties, none other than...

The 1st Floor Master!

At the back door was a handsome youth around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with completely white hair. Seeing him, Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong felt their hearts palpitate for some unknown reason; the oppression he gave off far exceeded that of the 1st Floor Master.

The two of them also entered the shop, and both coincidentally closed the doors, forming a Secret Room. Chen Ran and the other two were blocked in the middle.

Seeing this, a burst of hostility suddenly flashed in Chen Ran's eyes. He threw away the long baton and pulled out his Liar-Slayer.

Seeing the pure white Liar-Slayer being pointed at the ceiling by Chen Ran, the heartbeats of the 1st Floor Master and White Hair accelerated. They had a feeling as if some immense terror was about to happen.

Qiu Yinong secretly thought this was bad; she saw that Chen Ran was bluffing.

The reason was very simple.

Chen Ran was not a Ghost Whisperer; he needed someone to provide him with a lie. Logically speaking, Lin Xuan could provide him with a lie, but...

Lin Xuan was baffled by her stare, pointing his index finger at himself, as if saying:

【What do you want with me?】

Qiu Yinong: "..."

But very quickly she realized something.

"Can you use your skill?" White Hair broke the silence, lighting a cigarette and asking.

"I've followed you the whole way, you should know..." White Hair pointed at Lin Xuan: "This one is fake, probably a virtual construct."

"It's said that Lin Xuan has a spatial skill and he should be able to provide you with a lie, but this one is fake. Do you think you can use Eternal Kingdom to ban our skills for an hour?"

Chen Ran didn't deny it.

Lin Xuan looked unintelligent, but no matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't go to a potentially dangerous area to pick up an empty bottle.

Lin Xuan's phrase 【I will test it, you guys follow behind me】 was actually trying to lead Chen Ran into a trap.

"Not only do I know that the Lin Xuan just now was fake, but I also know that the Qiu Yinong just now was fake," Chen Ran said coldly.

"Not bad," White Hair praised: "So you chose to return to that white world before entering the Instance, because you two are teammates, so the Qiu Yinong you met inside there would definitely be the real one."

Chen Ran was noncommittal.

The previous Qiu Yinong.

First, she talked too much.

Second, she had no opinions of her own.

Finally, she talked too much.

Therefore, Chen Ran returned. After confirming the number of steps did indeed lead back to the front of the Gatehouse, he chose to enter the white world for Instance selection.

In the white world for selecting Instances.

Only he and Qiu Yinong could meet each other in there. It was impossible for a third person to appear, after all, their team only had two people.

Therefore, the virtual world couldn't possibly cover that white world. The Qiu Yinong he met was definitely the real Qiu Yinong.

This was also the reason why Chen Ran had to wait for half an hour in front of the Gatehouse.

As long as Qiu Yinong realized that the Chen Ran and Lin Xuan in front of her were both fake, she would definitely also think of that white world for entering Instances.

The two met in the white world, connecting themselves to each other with a rope, so when they came out, they would be in the same virtual world. Originally, holding hands would have a better effect, but the premise was that one side had to drop their Liar-Slayer. However, in such a dangerous Hell Great Escape, who would dare to drop their Liar-Slayer?

Therefore, the current Qiu Yinong and Chen Ran were both real, while Lin Xuan was fake.

White Hair took a deep drag of his cigarette: "Are you planning to let Qiu Yinong provide you with a lie?"

Indeed, either Chen Ran had to lie, or Qiu Yinong had to lie, in order to possibly use Eternal Kingdom, causing the two to be 【banned from using skills for an hour】.

"Relax, my skill can make the 1st Floor Master's figure disappear," White Hair comforted Chen Ran. He didn't know why the leader had specifically instructed him that he must not let Chen Ran use his skill, but looking at this situation, he could only try to pacify him.

Subsequently, under Chen Ran's vigilant gaze, White Hair slowly raised his gun, pointing it at the ceiling.

The 1st Floor Master frowned. For some unknown reason, he actually felt a trace of oppression from White Hair.

He also raised his gun and pointed it at the ceiling.

"Liar-Slayer·Morning Flowers Plucked at Dusk!"

"Ghost Whisperer·Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation·Reverse the Future!" White Hair spoke a long string of command words.

The next moment, the 1st Floor Master disappeared, and Lin Xuan also vanished. Inside the shop, only Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and White Hair remained.

White Hair put away his Liar-Slayer and said to the dumbfounded Chen Ran: "Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Zhe, a Three-Star Liar-Slayer, and a Reserve Teammate... of the Liar-Slayer Alliance leader!"

Chen Ran was startled.

'Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe...'

'Such a familiar name!'

But, searching through his memories, among the people he knew, there was no one named Jiang Zhe.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will be your second special teammate," Jiang Zhe said something shocking again: "The reason is very simple, in the coming days, I will infinitely track you into Instances."

"However, how long you can survive under my tracking will depend on your skills."

"Right, forgot to mention, I'm also a Newbie. I just arrived in Hell yesterday."

He had appeared!

The third teammate in Chen Ran's deduction!

He had deduced it previously.

The Alliance leader would plant a trusted aide to infinitely track him, constantly assessing the probability of this 【nuclear bomb】 detonating, and even dismantling the 【nuclear bomb】 in an Instance if there was a chance.

It's just that Chen Ran hadn't expected the third 【teammate】 to appear so quickly.

'He just said...'

'He only arrived in Hell yesterday?'

'Sounds like a lie.'

'But, if his talent is strong and he has the support of the leader's points, he indeed could reach Three-Star in one day, it's just that...'

Seeing Chen Ran looking at his Liar-Slayer, White Hair smiled faintly: "Are you trying to ask why my skill command words are so long?"

"My True Form's skill is: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation. It can create nine Samsara Bodies. Each Samsara Body is an independent individual. Since it is an independent individual, returning to the Novice Instance again to endow the Liar-Slayer with an independent skill..."

"Is very reasonable, right?"

Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong: "..."

'Damn it, he successfully flexed on us.'

'However, based on my years of writing experience, when a person who transcends Common Sense, transcends imagination, and transcends logic appears.'

'Then, this person will often play a huge role in pushing the plot forward, and Jiang Zhe perfectly fits the above characteristics.'

'I seriously suspect this person was created by the Alliance leader!'

'Moreover, his 【Reverse the Future】 is very strange. Lin Xuan is a virtual body created by a skill, then the 1st Floor Master just now was probably also some kind of virtual body. However, what is a bit different is that the 1st Floor Master's virtual body should have been able to use skills.'

'Jiang Zhe's skill could make these two disappear. Why do I feel like it's a non-amnesiac version of the Wheel of Time?'

'Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation...'

'Could it be that this guy's nine Samsara Bodies can respectively use weakened versions of the skills of the nine True Self Players?'

Right at this moment, White Hair Jiang Zhe snuffed out his cigarette butt and looked at Chen Ran: "Shall we go? I feel there are still many dangers waiting for us ahead."

Chen Ran still didn't speak, nor would he let Jiang Zhe lead the way, so he turned around and walked forward.

Chen Ran walked in front.

Jiang Zhe walked in the middle.

Qiu Yinong walked at the very back. She looked at the two people in front of her, and a very, very outrageous idea popped into her mind.

'These two...'

For some reason, the figures of the two people gradually overlapped in Qiu Yinong's line of sight.

It was as if they were the same person.

'Could it be that the Alliance leader created Jiang Zhe using Chen Ran's template?'

'And the time of his birth is also...'

'Roughly the same as the time Chen Ran fell victim to Omniscient and Omnipotent!'
