Chapter 462: Maze Death Chronicle (2)

~7 min read 1,389 words

The woman took one step.

Chen Ran took two steps and reached the finish line.

The other three did the same.

The woman lost four times in a row.

The five people arrived at Platform B, among which Li Hao and the other two distanced themselves, occupying half of the platform.

The remaining half was not enough for the woman to fall flat on her face on level ground, which meant that when she fell to the ground later, she would definitely trigger the Slayer's Sanctuary of the other players.

Logically speaking, the wall was also 【level ground】.

But, judging from Chen Ran's deduction, the danger coefficient of the wall surface was very high.

This depended on whether she wanted a decent death. Falling on the platform, she would be bounced around and ultimately fall into the abyss.

Facing the stairway, firstly it wasn't level ground, and secondly the stairway would thrash about, causing her to fall down the abyss.

Facing the stone statue, she would fall into the abyss, which was actually a pretty good decent way to die.

The woman seemed to have made a choice. She stood up, straightened her clothes, looked at Chen Ran, and inexplicably said: "In Hell, being kind-hearted is not a good thing."

After saying that, she faced the wall. At this time, the skill penalty forcibly activated, and she fell flat on her face towards the wall. The next moment...

A giant axe split her into two halves.

The woman died.

The giant stone statue put away the giant axe, and returned to its previous appearance of staring intently at the crowd.

At this time, the four walls rotated.

Clockwise 9 times, counterclockwise 8 times.

After it ended, the other three threw the woman's corpse down the abyss.

Right at this moment, the Middle-aged Uncle, who originally hadn't spoken or used a skill the whole time, pulled out his Liar-Slayer and pointed his gun at Chen Ran.

"I remember, you said to Li Hao just now that the exit is right behind the wall of the previous platform, but the walls will rotate, and according to my deduction, that wall with the exit will ultimately rotate to behind the next platform."

From God's perspective.

Previously, when they finished walking a circle, the walls rotated clockwise 31 times and counterclockwise 33 times. Clockwise and counterclockwise offset each other, so it was equivalent to the walls only rotating counterclockwise 2 times.

The exit wall would stop behind Platform C.

They continued walking forward.

First time: Clockwise 10, Counterclockwise 3.

Fifth time: Clockwise 3, Counterclockwise 10.

Second time: Clockwise 8, Counterclockwise 9.

Sixth time: Clockwise 9, Counterclockwise 8.

According to this pattern.

Third time: Clockwise 6 times, Counterclockwise 5 times.

Then the next time would be:

Seventh time: Clockwise 5, Counterclockwise 6.

By then, they would be standing on Platform C.

And it just so happened there was still a fourth time left.

Fourth time: Clockwise 4 times, Counterclockwise 6 times.

Equivalent to a counterclockwise rotation of 2 times, the exit's wall would also happen to be behind Platform C's wall.

In other words.

When they walked to the next platform.

They could push the wall and go out, clearing the stage.

Therefore, the exit couldn't be behind Platform A's wall, Chen Ran lied.

"You lied!"

The Middle-aged Uncle pulled the trigger.

Click, the Bullet jammed. Seeing this scene, the three simultaneously drew their guns and pointed them at him.

"You lied!"

Click, the Bullet jammed again. The middle-aged man who used Countless had a constipated expression.

He stiffly turned his head, looking at Chen Ran and Li Hao, who had only drawn their guns without speaking the Judgment Command.

"You bluffed me!"

Chen Ran, Li Hao, and the Middle-aged Uncle who hadn't spoken much, the three pointed their gun muzzles at him.

"You lied!"

Bang, the Middle-aged Uncle died. The Middle-aged Uncle who hadn't spoken much immediately threw his corpse into the abyss.

Chen Ran looked at his Watch. It had been exactly an hour since 【Countless】 was used, and he found that the effect of Countless had indeed ended.

Only then did he look at the still-alive Middle-aged Uncle who didn't like to speak.

He walked forward and touched him.

Sure enough, he clipped through, and the Middle-aged Uncle who didn't like to speak disappeared.

"Come out!"

Hearing this, the Middle-aged Uncle who didn't speak much deactivated his invisible state and appeared in the sight of the two. The three frowned and looked at each other.

What Chen Ran said just now was:

【What do you think? When we first came in, didn't we appear on... the previous platform we stopped at? The exit is right behind the wall next to that platform.】

This referred to when they just came in and the walls hadn't rotated yet, the exit was behind the wall of the previous platform.

There was nothing wrong with this sentence.

If the Middle-aged Uncle who didn't speak much couldn't even discern this, how could he possibly have survived until now?

But, he still Judged Chen Ran.

Proving that he was a virtual person.

As expected, his Judgment failed. Chen Ran and Li Hao simply didn't give the 【Countless】 Middle-aged Uncle a chance to think, drawing their guns and aiming at the virtual person, and the result was that he really fell for it.

Judging a virtual person failed.

Chen Ran assessed the 【doesn't like to speak】 Middle-aged Uncle who appeared out of thin air.

'Just now, the virtual person Uncle had his Liar-Slayer tucked into his left waist. This physical person Uncle has his Liar-Slayer tucked into his right waist.'

At this time, Li Hao pulled out his Liar-Slayer, like a beast bearing its fangs.

"Very good, your skills have pretty much all appeared."

He pointed his gun at the ceiling.

"Ghost Whisperer·Usurpation!"

Chen Ran: "..."

The Secret Room went dark, a gunshot sounded.

When the light was restored, Chen Ran immediately searched his memory and found that...

He had forgotten numbers again!

The Middle-aged Uncle who didn't like to speak said with a shocked face: "I forgot the numbers I remembered before again, you..."

Li Hao said indifferently: "Usurpation, just as the name implies, do I need to explain?"

Chen Ran covered his forehead.

If it wasn't a Rest Area, and Distance-Free couldn't be used, could these few have hopped around for so long?

He had to analyze again.

'The skills for creating virtual people seem to have many types. Some mass-produce them, while some can create one virtual self while the True Form is in an invisible state.'

'But, virtual people seem to all have one common trait: they cannot be touched. Once they are clipped through, they will disappear.'

'Fusing Mental States!'

Chen Ran silently smoked a cigarette, a flash of hostility passing through his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

He soon recovered his calmness.

The three continued walking down to the next stairway. They were already very tired and had to rest from time to time.

"Give me a cigarette," Li Hao reached his hand out to Chen Ran, who handed him a cigarette.

"By the way, I've never seen you use a skill. What is your skill?"

Hearing this, Chen Ran felt that Li Hao would sooner or later be his teammate:

"My skill can forbid players from using skills for an hour."

"Oh." Li Hao was surprised: "Then why didn't you use your skill in advance just now?"

"I am a Liar-Slayer; unless I have a Deceiver's Tongue, I need a lie."

Li Hao nodded, then glanced at the Middle-aged Uncle and whispered: "His skill can create virtual people, we have to be a bit careful. I feel he is still a virtual person."

"Actually, to deal with a virtual person, you can use your hand to touch them."

Hearing this, Chen Ran immediately reached his hand out to touch Li Hao. The next moment he was bounced away, his back pressing against the stairway and being pushed up quite a few steps before barely stopping, the pain making him bear his teeth.

"It seems that what I touched was a physical entity protected by a Liar-Slayer," Chen Ran scratched his head and said awkwardly.

Li Hao: "What were you thinking, did you think I was a virtual person?"
