Chapter 477: It's Here! It's Here!

Bang.

When the light was restored.

The scene changes on the first floor were different from what Chen Ran and the others saw at the very beginning.

First was the notice:

【9 Bams is on the roof】

Secondly, the first floor looked a bit like a storage room of some factory.

About 5 meters in front of them, there were five platforms. On each platform were placed steel coils, and iron pins were inserted under the steel coils to prevent them from rolling off.

On the ground, perhaps because things were frequently moved around, the floor was heavily cracked in many places.

On the right side of the Secret Room were shelves.

The bottommost shelf was filled with tools, such as wrenches, hammers, screwdrivers, sockets, and other common industrial maintenance tools. However, they were placed very messily, for example, a wrench was placed horizontally on the handle of a hammer, like some abstract balancing art of a certain employee.

On the second shelf from the bottom, there were two jacks, and some employees' clothes, also very messy. Some were draped over the edge of the shelf; probably the employees took them off, changed into their work clothes, and went to work.

As proof, Chen Ran also saw a few packs of cigarettes and a Lighter next to the clothes.

Going to work, right, occasionally slacking off and running here to secretly take a few puffs of a cigarette was very reasonable.

However, Chen Ran looked at the shelves and found it very strange. Usually, shelves were made of alloy or aluminum, but this shelf was made of plastic.

The third shelf from the bottom was filled with small parts, such as screws, couplers, multimeters, iron nails, nuts, etc.

The topmost shelf had a few transparent glass bottles. The glass bottles seemed to be filled with half a bottle of water, and inside the water was also a fingernail-sized silvery-white metal.

On the left side of the Secret Room, there was an iron cabinet three meters high and two meters wide. The cabinet had no doors, and inside, about ten industrial Nitrogen Cylinders were neatly stacked horizontally, with the bottle mouths facing outwards.

The light bulb in the middle of the Secret Room's ceiling was about three times larger than a household light bulb. Inside, besides the filament, there was also a pitch-black thing of unknown nature. The light bulb was currently in an illuminated state, the light neither strong nor weak.

At the original position of the stairwell entrance, a glass door suddenly appeared. But what was strange was that the outside of the glass door was chained with Iron Chains. This meant that the glass door had to be opened from inside the stairwell, but they were trapped in the Secret Room and couldn't get out.

In the middle of the Secret Room.

There was a table, and on the table were a Coin and a notice.

【Please toss the Coin in turn to start the decryption process of this Secret Room.】

Retracting their gazes, Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe, as well as the smoking player in the Twin-Tailed Loli's team, all silently stubbed out their cigarettes. Although this was a Secret Room, it was also a warehouse. Not smoking was respect, respect for their own lives.

From the current look of things, the clues regarding decryption in this Secret Room were basically zero.

Perhaps, just like the rule on the table, everyone had to toss the Coin once for it to start.

"I'll go first." Seeing everyone hesitating, Chen Ran walked up to the table.

He picked up the Coin and tossed it upwards. Just as the Coin was tossed to the highest point, the light bulb on the ceiling suddenly burst with intense light, shining so brightly that everyone couldn't open their eyes. But as the Coin fell, the light bulb's illumination returned to normal.

Chen Ran, Jiang Zhe, Twin-Tailed Loli.

They were all startled.

'The black object inside the light bulb should be some kind of sensor device, sensing the Coin!'

'Once it senses the Coin, the light bulb will burst with intense light.'

'But, what does this mean?'

The three couldn't figure it out, and the other four people couldn't figure it out even more. Thus, when the Coin landed on the ground, Chen Ran covered the Coin with his foot, and both he and Jiang Zhe looked at the Twin-Tailed Loli.

The Twin-Tailed Loli immediately understood their meaning. She slowly closed her eyes, and very quickly opened them again, saying: "There is no Virtual Overlay or virtual people in this Secret Room."

This was the terrifying aspect of Id skill players with Distance-Free enhancement.

One must know, only after severing the Ego could one construct scenes in Distance-Free, for example, reflecting the existing objects, environment, etc., in the Secret Room.

But the skills of Id Players were fundamentally mental-type to begin with. They could overlay a layer of illusion within Distance-Free.

Simply put, if the Secret Room was covered by a virtual world, then Id Players could overlay another layer of illusion in Distance-Free, and it would be an illusion of the original appearance of the Instance. Therefore, for them, they only needed to compare whether the scene they saw matched the scene seen in Distance-Free to determine...

Whether the Secret Room had a Virtual Overlay!

To put it even simpler.

Any Id skill player who could survive past Three-Star and also use Distance-Free, every single one of them was a Pseudo Six-Star.

Pseudo Six-Star meant they only knew a bit of what Six-Star players could do, such as distinguishing between reality and virtuality.

But their strength was far inferior to Six-Stars.

Such Pseudo Six-Star players were very rare in Hell. After all, Id Players would basically die in One-Star or Two-Star Instances.

If they luckily survived to Three-Star, Three-Stars basically all possessed Ego Tier Skills. When an Id skill player faced them, it was like a player without a skill facing them; it was very hard to survive.

Returning to the main topic.

The Twin-Tailed Loli's statement was an affirmative sentence.

Only then did Chen Ran move his foot away.

Jiang Zhe picked up the Coin with a solemn expression, looked up at the light bulb overhead, silently retreated behind everyone, and gently tossed the Coin.

However.

When the Coin was tossed to the highest point, the light bulb on the ceiling burst with intense light again, but this time everyone had learned to be smart, taking out Sunglasses from their bags in advance and putting them on.

The intense light disappeared, and the light bulb returned to its original brightness again. Everyone immediately took off their Sunglasses.

Only because they weren't sure...

If this was the Secret Room creator subtly constructing their Personal Common Sense.

Everyone looked around left and right, and didn't find the switch for the light bulb. Thus, they became even more certain that the light bulb might be the important clue for decryption.

Immediately after, the four people in the Twin-Tailed Loli's team continued to toss the Coin.

They experienced the intense light illumination a total of six times, and didn't discover a pattern or any other useful clues.

Then the answer was ready to be revealed.

In the last toss!

Seeing this, the Twin-Tailed Loli didn't rush to pick up the Coin. The seven people strolled around the Secret Room, looking here and there. Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe came to the left side of the Secret Room, walked to the iron cabinet, looked left and right, their expressions becoming increasingly solemn.

They exchanged a glance.

'Distance-Free!'

In the white world, Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe stood facing each other, speaking almost simultaneously.

"You'll drop your Liar-Slayer later."

"I won't drop it."

"I'll drop my Liar-Slayer later."

"Okay."

The two were startled, both taking a deep look at each other, and silently exited Distance-Free.

Breaking away from Distance-Free, the two returned to the table as if nothing had happened, standing on the left side of the table.

Chen Ran rested his right hand on the lower right corner of the left side of the table, and Jiang Zhe rested his left hand on the upper left corner of the left side of the table. The two behaved very naturally, and bystanders fundamentally couldn't discover any clues.

The Twin-Tailed Loli took a deep look at Chen Ran, a very strange feeling...

'What's going on, I actually have a feeling that handsome youth is going to die.'

'An illusion?'

She shook her head. Since it was someone else who would die, then... it didn't matter.

So, she came to the middle of the Secret Room, picked up the Coin on the ground, and tossed it high.

When the Coin was tossed to the highest point, the light bulb still burst with intense light, but this time it lasted for a very, very long time.

Bang! The light bulb exploded!
