Chapter 454: All Are Bubbles (2)

From God's perspective.

After coming to Hell, Chen Ran had been cloned many times, either by Instance cloning or by a player's skill cloning.

Instance cloning: In the previous 【Lonely Revenge】, Chen Ran and Geng Hao encountered the infinite clone Secret Room, and the cloned Chen Ran had used Eternal Kingdom.

Skill cloning: Lin Xuan's skill could create Chen Ran, but the Chen Ran in the other spaces couldn't use Eternal Kingdom.

The reason was simple.

Lin Xuan's skill was Superego-tier; it couldn't clone a Chen Ran possessing a True-Self Tier Skill.

That wasn't all. Among True Self skills, Eternal Kingdom was number one, with the highest Priority.

In other words.

A skill could clone Chen Ran, but it couldn't clone Chen Ran's Eternal Kingdom.

He only needed to summon his panel and check. If there was no Eternal Kingdom, he could confirm that he was a skill clone.

…

In other words.

When the third batch's Chen Ran saw that there was no Eternal Kingdom in the panel, he knew he was created by a skill.

The Heart-killing setup was broken.

Perhaps the mastermind never dreamed that they were facing a True Self Player.

And the special mechanism of a True Self Player caused their perfect Heart-killing setup to go bankrupt just like that.

Thus, the Psychological Defense Line was activated. What the third batch's Chen Ran had to do was protect the True Form.

Then the question came.

Where was the True Form?

Two possibilities:

One: the missing Chen Ran was the True Form.

Two: it was among the first and second batches of Chen Rans.

He eliminated them one by one.

First was the first possibility. If the missing Chen Ran was the True Form, since there was a clone of Chen Ran, it meant that the True Form was also in this 【Instance】.

But, there were already nine people on the first floor. Plus the missing True Form, that would be ten people.

Therefore, to prove that the first possibility was established, he first had to prove that among the nine players present, one was a virtual person.

He immediately thought of Jiang Zhe.

Just now in front of the bus, Lin Xuan provided a lie, and Qiu Yinong used her skill, proving that Lin Xuan was a physical person. But after Jiang Zhe used his skill, there were no changes.

He might be a virtual person.

It could also be that his skill couldn't break through the boundary of the Instance.

Thus, Chen Ran touched Jiang Zhe to prove which possibility it was.

His hand clipped through. Jiang Zhe was a virtual person.

Jiang Zhe was a virtual person, he wasn't a skill clone, so he couldn't use a skill.

Since Jiang Zhe couldn't use a skill, Lin Xuan should have noticed it at the very first moment.

But, in front of the bus, Lin Xuan pretended his skill was 【Reverse the Future】'd, ran onto the bus to quietly tell a lie, and used his skill.

Therefore, Lin Xuan was fake.

However, Lin Xuan had picked up a stone and smashed the electrical box on the utility pole.

This proved that Lin Xuan was a physical person.

Conclusion: Lin Xuan was not the real person, but he was a physical person, not a virtual person.

Therefore, Chen Ran Judged him. After all, he had provided a lie before.

Lin Xuan's corpse reverted to its original appearance.

Chen Ran picked up the Point Card and found that it couldn't be stored in his panel.

He thought about it and felt it was very reasonable.

After all, without Eternal Kingdom, this gun didn't match Chen Ran's Liar-Slayer.

As for why he could Judge, specifically, he could refer to the Novice Tutorial Room, where The Judge's Liar-Slayer didn't have a skill, but could be used by Bai Xiuci and Chen Ran to Judge others.

Jiang Zhe was a virtual person. That meant that in the five-story small building, there was still a hidden one.

This hidden one was...

The missing Chen Ran.

Then the question came...

The hidden Chen Ran, the first batch's Chen Ran, the second batch's Chen Ran. Who was the True Form?

He continued testing.

He deliberately held the Point Card that couldn't be stored in the panel in his hand.

The Chen Rans in the first and second batches were also in a situation without testing.

The Chen Ran from the second batch deduced that he couldn't store the Point Card in the panel.

The Chen Ran from the first batch, however, couldn't deduce that he couldn't store the Point Card in the panel.

The answer was obvious.

The Chen Ran from the first batch absolutely didn't have Chen Ran's IQ, nor did he know that Chen Ran was a True Self Player. He was fake.

The Chen Ran from the second batch possessed Chen Ran's IQ. He was the True Form or a clone.

However, when the Chen Ran from the second batch got the Point Card and said 【the tactile feel is not bad】, and didn't store it in the panel, he was telling the Chen Ran from the third batch:

【I am a clone!】

Then the True Form was the hidden one upstairs!

Having deduced up to this point.

What they had to do next was to deduce, among the non-Chen Ran players present...

Who else was real?

In the second batch, there were Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and Jiang Zhe. For these three, when they were first teleported here, neither Qiu Yinong nor Jiang Zhe used skills to test whether they could get out.

After all, they were teleported in by a skill. If Qiu Yinong reset time, she might be able to pull them back; if Jiang Zhe used his skill, he might be able to Reverse the Future.

But, neither of them tested it.

Moreover, Jiang Zhe didn't need a lie, and Qiu Yinong only had to hide on the bus and say her previous command: "I lied." To some extent, she also didn't need a lie.

But, neither of them tested it.

Therefore, they were both fake.

And the only one who had tested was the Qiu Yinong among the four people of the third batch. Time had indeed been reset, so she could be the True Form or a clone.

There were only two Qiu Yinongs on the first floor. One was fake, and the other might be a clone.

If the Qiu Yinong in the third batch was a clone, it meant that there was a second hidden one in this five-story small building.

Namely, Qiu Yinong's True Form.

But, there were only nine people. If Qiu Yinong's True Form was upstairs, then on the first floor...

There were still virtual people.

But the problem was, in the two versions of the actor Secret Room, there was no situation where one Qiu Yinong was missing. Therefore, the Qiu Yinong in the third batch was the True Form.

Thus, the two Chen Rans, without prior agreement, told her to go upstairs to find the hidden Chen Ran.

What was she going to find him for?

It was very obvious. The hidden Chen Ran hiding upstairs was definitely confirming something.

Simply put.

If this building didn't have any other forms of decryption, it meant...

It was reincarnation cloning!

However, the first floor had already proven that they were created by a skill, not by the Instance. Then... there was no reincarnation cloning in this 【Instance】.

The two contradicted each other.

There was only one possibility...

This wasn't an Instance at all, but a Secret Room created by a Ghost Whisperer.

As for the skill 【Dungeon Teleportation】?

Don't forget, virtual people can speak, and players can also randomly shout skill commands, which doesn't count as lying.

…

Qiu Yinong ran up to the fifth floor in one breath, and found Chen Ran sitting at the stairwell on the fifth floor smoking.

"You came a bit slowly. It seems my clone took a while to deduce it."

"Come with me."

Saying that, Chen Ran stood up, came to the innermost room, walked to the window, and pointed to the thing fixed on the window.

"I found this in a trash can. After my repeated testing, fixing it in this room on the fifth floor can allow us to cross over the wall and wire mesh outside."

Qiu Yinong took a closer look, and was immediately somewhat dumbfounded. She saw that fixed to the window was...

An Escape Cloth Bag!

Qiu Yinong: "..."

Her face showed a rare expression of anger.

'I am really just ah ah ah!!'

'I am numb from being deceived!'
