Chapter 480: Brainwashing

In Hell, as long as the basic logic of the Secret Room is figured out, then next, humans will become the most terrifying source of danger.

Very obviously.

The six people had already realized that the Coin tossed earlier might temporarily suck away the luck of the players, which meant this was a Liar-Slayer skill.

And the whole building was covered by the Whisperer's Escape Room. Then this Whisperer's Escape Room only needed to provide dangerous venues.

Liar-Slayer + Ghost Whisperer, the Combo Skill of these two skills was quite suitable and perfect.

But there was a problem here, and that was Chen Ran didn't die. Did his luck come back?

However...

None of this was important. Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe looked at the Twin-Tailed Loli's group of four.

"My skill can make the skills you use disappear." Jiang Zhe drew his Liar-Slayer and looked at the four people with a sneer.

On the surface, the Combo Skill of these two was exactly...

The full effect of the Eternal Kingdom.

Chen Ran was startled.

He suddenly looked at Jiang Zhe. Previously, he was still wondering why it was this reincarnated body of Jiang Zhe that followed him.

So it was like this!

'If in the Instance, Jiang Zhe and I successively use skills, then no one will know the true effect of the Eternal Kingdom. The players who fall victim will think this is the effect of Jiang Zhe's and my Combo Skill—one making skills disappear, one prohibiting them from using skills for an hour.'

'In other words, in the judgment of the leader of the Liar-Slayer Alliance, the opponents I will face in future Instances will be very strong, so strong that we cannot annihilate them all, which will result in one or two players leaving the Instance alive.'

'It seems that something else will happen during this Hell Great Escape, causing me not to be stuck at Three-Star, but directly rank up.'

After all, if it was Four-Star, facing a Six-Star Hunter Team, Chen Ran felt that he and Qiu Yinong would only be able to protect themselves, unable to achieve killing all the Six-Star players in the Instance.

As for Lin Xuan and Jiang Zhe.

Chen Ran would have to burn high incense if these two didn't cause trouble in the Instance. Don't look at how Jiang Zhe helped him so much on the eighteenth level, that was because Chen Ran couldn't be allowed to use his skill on the eighteenth level.

If they arrived in the Instance, Jiang Zhe not causing trouble would be the biggest help.

Lin Xuan, in Chen Ran's eyes, belonged to a formidable character role. He acted very much like it when it was time to play the fool, but if there was truly an opportunity, he would definitely deal a lethal blow to Chen and Qiu.

'What reason would make me give up being stuck at Three-Star and choose to rank up?'

Thinking of this, Chen Ran lit a Cigarette, his clenched hands relaxing and clenching again, clenching and relaxing.

'Okay, okay, okay, so this is how we're playing, right?'

…

Neither of Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe's words Avoided Lying, but they avoided the scope.

This made the Twin-Tailed Loli realize that what they said was all true, and the skill effects were more than what they said.

'This also means they have already predicted our team's skills.'

In fact, thinking carefully, one could predict the Combo Skill of the Twin-Tailed team.

First, the Twin-Tailed Loli, she could immunize against Virtual Overlays and virtual people.

Then, her teammates must have skills like creating Virtual Overlays or creating virtual people.

And now, the underlying logic of this Whisperer's Escape Room was already known by everyone.

Once they applied a Virtual Overlay to the Whisperer's Escape Room, Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe wouldn't be able to see the danger in the Secret Room and would undoubtedly die.

That was why the two gave the Twin-Tailed Loli and her teammates a heads-up in advance.

She took a deep look at the two and asked a very critical question.

"Will you use skills?"

"Guess!" Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe said in unison, staring at the four people with wide, innocent eyes and a teasing expression.

Chen Ran took a drag of his Cigarette: "Oh right, before you came, the two of us went to the rooftop. There is a door from the top floor to the rooftop. If your skills are prohibited by me, assuming the players on the rooftop have a Virtual Overlay skill, do you think they would add a Virtual Overlay skill to this Whisperer's Escape Room?"

Simply put, once the Twin-Tailed Loli's skill was prohibited, then she wouldn't be able to immunize against the Virtual Overlay. At that time, if the Five-Star players added a Virtual Overlay skill, in such a dangerous Secret Room, they would all die.

It was that saying again: the essence of deterrence lay in mutual destruction, not in throwing harsh words.

The four of the Twin-Tailed Loli's group paused their breathing.

'The white hair uses a skill first to make our skills disappear, and then the handsome youth uses a skill to prohibit our skills for an hour.'

'And, because there is a door upstairs, the two people's skills probably wouldn't reach...'

'The players on the rooftop.'

'If they have a Virtual Overlay skill, we would indeed all die.'

"How many people are on the rooftop?"

"Should be two, but whether they would go invite people or not is unknown. After all, hypothetically speaking, as long as they invite a player with a Virtual Overlay skill, they can kill us in the Whisperer's Escape Room. Presumably they would be very happy to invite someone." Chen Ran glanced at the four people and said unhurriedly.

Twin-Tailed Loli: "..."

'I suspect he is brainwashing me.'

'Turning black into white.'

'But thinking about it carefully, it seems to make sense; there's nothing wrong with his hypothesis.'

This was an information gap. They didn't know the specific effects of the two people's skills. If it was really as they described, and the Twin-Tailed Loli's team dared to use skills, the two would drag them to perish together.

Therefore, the best choice was for no one to use skills later.

'Two massive tricksters!'

Seeing their appearance, Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe exchanged a glance, secretly saying that the biggest threat in this Whisperer's Escape Room had already been removed.

Thirteenth floor.

When the man with a thick gold chain and Granny Zhang first heard their conversation downstairs, they were somewhat tempted about whether to invite a player with a Virtual Overlay skill to increase the difficulty by a 'tiny' bit for these six people in the Secret Room.

But on second thought, Jiang Zhe's skill could flip the table at any time. Rather than wasting time with these two here, it would be better to give the players coming to this building in the next round a 'little' bit of a shock.

Anyway, they were only using skills and then watching if the players could clear the room. From beginning to end, the two of them wouldn't participate in Infighting.

Even if Chen Ran and his companion cleared the room, Granny Zhang and her companion could still wait for the next batch of players.

Of course, this was only limited to today; tomorrow they would rotate shifts and rest.

Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe probably never dreamed that what was originally intended to brainwash the Twin-Tailed Loli's team, actually laid a huge trap for the next round of players.

'Two wealth-bringing boys!'

Granny Zhang and her companion already foresaw that there would be quite a bit of profit today.

They didn't think of this earlier, entirely because they suffered a loss from cooperating for the first time.

After all, in the first cooperation, they were both guarding against each other. How could they tell the other party the full effects of their own skills?

…

First floor, stairwell entrance.

Whether Chen Ran's lost luck had returned was unknown, but since the order of victims was decided according to the order of tossing the Coin, then on the second floor Jiang Zhe would become the Grim Reaper's target.

Chen Ran sized up Jiang Zhe from top to bottom. His right hand was temporarily considered useless.

"Need help?"

Jiang Zhe: "..."

'Come on, I have nine lives, okay!'
