The routes were all planned out, and they kept staring at the pointers on their watches to confirm the direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the pointers were covered midway, Chen Ran's group of four would definitely be able to sense it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for each direction, the number of steps away from the Ancient Tower could be calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had definitely entered the Alliance Ancient Tower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【One cup contains highly toxic poison.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rule: After the first player chooses a wine glass, they must drink the wine in the glass within one minute before the second player can choose a wine glass, and so on.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You can clear the stage if not poisoned.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Time limit: 1 hour.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a logical problem here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppose Chen Ran never drank any wine. When the time limit ended, what would happen to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was clearing the stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the rule clearly stated 【You can clear the stage if not poisoned】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't drink the wine, you won't be poisoned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan deduced for half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe deduced for half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Qiu Yinong too; the three of them seemed to have ignored this logical problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the other players in the Secret Room hadn't deduced this logical problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it could be a Lie-Judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Chen Ran continued to observe secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone actually drank the wine. Forget about the other players, Lin Xuan, Jiang Zhe, and Qiu Yinong—these three also drank the wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Chen Ran realized that all these people in front of him were fakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skills were also fake, because most of the skills they used were Ego Tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know, for a player possessing a virtual world skill to fake the effects of Ego Tier skills, it was simply too easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Three-Star players could be immune to Ego Tier skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, regardless of whether Chen Ran suppressed his Mental State or not, the player creating the virtual world could continue to fake it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, an Ego-Tier skill also appeared midway: Cosmic Shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was even easier to fake. When the virtual Lin Xuan wanted to trick Chen Ran into drinking the wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran didn't drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player creating the virtual world changed the wine glass into bread, but it was covered by the virtual world, so what Chen Ran saw was a wine glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the virtual person pretended to use a skill. The person creating the virtual world then made the virtual world go dark, and canceled the virtual world covering on the bread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Cosmic Shift was used, what Chen Ran saw was bread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, none of this was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a smokescreen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Ran, when he deduced that everyone else was a virtual person, he immediately remembered all the encounters outside the Ancient Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, right after exiting the Instance, the virtual Lin Xuan and Qiu Yinong appeared right next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he deduced that the player creating the virtual world outside the Ancient Tower...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed him in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, Chen Ran was very speechless: This is fucking chasing to kill; completely going for the fatal strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Chen Ran had to do next...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: continue pretending to know nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: kill the player creating the virtual world, or make them disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one definitely wouldn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was too uncomfortable. With just a little carelessness, he wouldn't be able to distinguish between virtual and reality. Furthermore, there must be many players in the Ancient Tower. If he encountered other players later, and was covered by the virtual world again, just thinking about it, he knew what the outcome would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be the second choice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other players were all virtual people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only the two of them in this Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ran was covered by the virtual world. To kill the player creating the virtual world in reality was like a person in a 2D space trying to kill a person in a 3D space...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harder than ascending to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example: you are watching a cartoon, and a character in the cartoon wants to kill you who are watching the cartoon. Isn't this bullshit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Law of the Bright Ocean, at this time you have to find a stronger enemy to take care of the enemy in front of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this stronger enemy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it was The Almighty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when the virtual people joined forces, wanting to trick Chen Ran into making a Future Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran knew his opportunity had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke the Future Lie:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【For the sake of fairness, within the next minute, all players in this Secret Room must throw all their points onto the table. Furthermore, players who won't be drinking immediately after throwing their Point Cards... must lean against the wall within one minute.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sentence 【For the sake of fairness, within the next minute, all players in this Secret Room must throw all their points onto the table.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran deliberately waited until the last five seconds to throw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Secret Room, there was only Chen Ran and the player creating the virtual world, just the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ran didn't throw, then the player creating the virtual world only needed to throw all of their Point Cards onto the desktop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Chen Ran would violate the Future Lie, and the Future Lie would become a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player creating the virtual world could directly Judge Chen Ran to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for the player creating the virtual world, he\u002Fshe absolutely had to throw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why Chen Ran waited until the last 5 seconds to throw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran had to wait for the player creating the virtual world to throw their Point Cards first. Otherwise, if he threw first, the other party could just take it directly. After all, Chen Ran didn't even know if the other party had spoken a Future Lie or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second sentence 【Furthermore, players who won't be drinking immediately after throwing their Point Cards... must lean against the wall within one minute.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence, on the contrary, wasn't very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just to make the Future Lie Chen Ran spoke seem a bit more reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, whether the player creating the virtual world leaned against the wall or not, to Chen Ran...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because what he was going to do next was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summon the Ultimate BOSS!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, every sentence he said next was explosive: 【Have you had enough fun playing?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was to attract the attention of the player creating the virtual world. After all, Chen Ran didn't want the player creating the virtual world to pick up the cards on the desktop while he was summoning the BOSS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then here comes the problem. You might as well guess if I have a Deceiver's Tongue?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence was even more explosive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Chen Ran have a Deceiver's Tongue?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing out the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately fused his Mental State, preventing anyone from reflecting what he wanted to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, two possibilities would arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: he had a Deceiver's Tongue, and when he used his skill, the 18th Level would self-destruct along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: he didn't have a Deceiver's Tongue, he was bluffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would dare to gamble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Almighty's best choice was to transfer the person who pushed Chen Ran to a 【dead end】 to another place, and retract the virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be doubts here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was Chen Ran sure that The Almighty had always been paying attention to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course it was because of The All-Knowing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been hit by The All-Knowing in the previous Instance, so whatever happened to him, The All-Knowing definitely knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The All-Knowing told The Almighty, and The Almighty transferred the player creating the virtual world away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still have doubts, why didn't The Almighty transfer the Point Cards away together with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because, to The Almighty, Chen Ran's danger signal hadn't been lifted yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Chen Ran's thoughts moved, and a 3,000-point card appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then was Chen Ran sure he was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if there weren't 3,000 points in the Liar-Slayer panel, the card in his hand...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could not be generated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it was generated, it proved his deduction and plan were both successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing with the card in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran clearly knew that this kind of threat could only be used once. Who would be willing to be threatened every two or three days? Therefore, if there was a second time, Chen Ran felt The Almighty would fight a desperate battle with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away the Point Card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pleasantly lit a cigarette, silently smoking and quietly waiting for the Secret Room's time to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hell Great Escape, the player intensity suddenly increased so much, I'm a bit unaccustomed to it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I don't know what...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I'll encounter next?'\u003C\u002Fp>",1692,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","30956a9af4845989e3ff2c0678252096e53dee42bcb3658fc463accc67d8485f","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-450","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-448",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
