Chapter 487: Underworld Skill: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation

"I've already given you time to think," Chen Ran said lightly.

Mo Xi was startled.

Right, Chen Ran raised his foot before she deduced the answer.

In other words, Chen Ran had already deduced the chain of traps designed in the Secret Room at that time. If he had knocked away the kitchen knife then, Mo Xi's group of four wouldn't have been able to react at all.

They had to thank Chen Ran. If it weren't for the uncertainty of whether there was 【physical work】 upstairs, their four people would have been completely wiped out just now.

…

The Secret Room quieted down. Yu Le and Zhang Chi poked their heads out from behind their backpacks.

Only to see...

The handle of the kitchen knife was connected to a spring. No wonder it shot straight out just now.

Seeing this scene, Mo Xi secretly thought that indeed the first Secret Room was to construct Personal Common Sense.

In the first Secret Room, there was no spring on the handle of the kitchen knife, and it could be taken down directly.

In this Secret Room, a spring was installed on the handle of the kitchen knife. If Yu Le had gone to take it just now, he would definitely have been pierced through the head by the ricocheting kitchen knife!

This could also prove that the third floor was indeed initially two Secret Rooms overlaid together.

Hiss hiss hiss!

The pressure cooker top spun faster and faster. The six of them didn't dare to get up. After all, the kitchen knife was still suspended in mid-air. God knows who it would shoot towards this time?

Jiang Zhe narrowed his eyes. He had a premonition that the kitchen knife would pierce through his body later, so he shifted forward, blocking Chen Ran behind him, while Chen Ran gave him his backpack.

Two backpacks, one protecting his chest, and one propped up in front with both hands.

Boom!

The pressure cooker exploded. The spinning top hit the knife handle, and the kitchen knife shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Boom!

The microwave oven exploded. An iron bowl shot out from inside. The bowl contained some pitch-black substance, not knowing what it was. The iron bowl crashed into the rapidly shooting knife handle, giving it a secondary acceleration.

Snap!

The spring on the knife handle snapped. One could imagine how fast the kitchen knife was at this moment.

It instantly pierced through the backpack Jiang Zhe propped in front. Its momentum unbroken, it sank into the second backpack and plunged into Jiang Zhe's abdomen.

'Fuck your mom!'

Jiang Zhe cursed inwardly. Without hesitation, he drew his Liar-Slayer and pressed it against his temple.

"I lied."

"You lied."

Bang, a gunshot, Jiang Zhe died. This scene happened so fast that it startled Mo Xi's group of four, secretly thinking there was no need for this, right?

Chen Ran immediately got up, stepped over Jiang Zhe's corpse, and stood in front of it.

With a solemn yet slightly awkward expression, he looked at Mo Xi and said somewhat embarrassedly: "As you can see, I might need your help."

What goes around comes around.

Just now, Mo Xi begged Chen Ran to spare their four people. Now that Jiang Zhe died, Chen Ran was hard to manage on his own in such a dangerous Secret Room and needed the help of Mo Xi's group of four, otherwise...

He would die!

Yu Le had a teasing expression, pointing at Jiang Zhe's corpse: "You can carry that corpse to help you block the dangers you encounter next."

Chen Ran pulled a bitter face: "My attitude might have been bad before. Give me a chance."

Mo Xi shook her head coldly.

Chen Ran looked at Zhang Chi again: "Help me persuade her, I will definitely give Points."

Zhang Chi looked left and right, confirming that there was no danger in the Secret Room. Then he sized up Chen Ran from head to toe, rolled his eyes, and looked at Mo Xi: "You can consider his proposal."

After saying that, he reached out his hand to Chen Ran. After all, Chen Ran just spoke a Future Lie. Not giving Points would mean lying.

Chen Ran was speechless.

He tossed him a 1-Point Point Card.

Feeling a bit distressed, he then looked at the Afro Woman who hadn't spoken from beginning to end.

"Help me persuade her. Look, my performance in the previous two Secret Rooms and this one should be pretty good, right? If I die later, can you completely clear the room?"

As his words fell, Mo Xi and the Afro Woman suddenly looked at Chen Ran. The atmosphere froze at this moment.

The two simultaneously drew their guns.

Pointing their guns at the ceiling, just as they were about to shout the command, their speed...

Was still a half-beat too slow.

"You lied."

The well-prepared Chen Ran drew his gun, spoke the command, and pulled the trigger.

The Bullet hit Yu Le's forehead.

"Wh-wh-why?" Yu Le slowly fell in disbelief.

With a vigorous stride, Chen Ran rushed forward and picked up the Point Card on the corpse.

'It's a Point Card?!'

The other three seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at Jiang Zhe's corpse.

Only to see that there was no...

Point Card on the corpse!

Jiang Zhe didn't die!

The three's alarm bells blared. They hurriedly looked left and right while their gazes sized up Chen Ran, seemingly wanting to confirm if the current Chen Ran and Jiang Zhe's corpse were products of a Virtual Overlay.

Mo Xi closed her eyes, but quickly opened them again, because she discovered...

There was no Virtual Overlay in the Secret Room!

Chen Ran also realized that his action of deceiving the Afro Woman into a lie just now made Mo Xi alert, and shook his head helplessly.

Logically speaking, the Afro Woman was the core of Mo Xi's team, and she hadn't spoken much from beginning to end. It was obvious she was the player possessing the Virtual Overlay skill.

As long as anyone communicated with her, Mo Xi would unconditionally believe...

That they were subjecting her to Lie-Judgment.

This was their team's firewall. The firewall to prevent the Afro Woman from being deceived into a lie, Chen Ran definitely couldn't break through.

After all, if she didn't speak, nor perform any dangerous operations, and the teammates stood in front throughout the whole process, how could she be deceived into a lie?

Therefore, to kill her, there was only one possibility: utilizing the accidental death mechanism of this Whisperer's Escape Room.

In this game, Chen Ran tested out the firewall of Mo Xi's team, so next...

His plan was set!

Thinking of this, Mo Xi blocked her good friend behind her and said coldly: "I'll warn you of one thing: if she dies in this building, I guarantee you will pay a price in the future."

For some reason, hearing this warning made Chen Ran's eyelids twitch non-stop.

Before exposing her skills, the sense of danger this person gave him was in a league of its own.

In the past, in Instances, he was always forced to game with those powerhouses after exposing his skills, but this time he hadn't exposed his skills.

Therefore, this was his first time feeling this kind of pure danger.

He sighed and turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe's 【corpse】 on the ground:

"Your disguise has a flaw."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe stood up. The wound on his abdomen stabbed by the kitchen knife disappeared, and even the previously fractured arm was restored to its original state. Looking at his temple, there was no bullet hole anymore.

"My bad," Jiang Zhe said sincerely to Chen Ran, without quibbling.

The two were not referring to this time. After all, Mo Xi was a Four-Star Id Player; she could confirm whether there was a Virtual Overlay through the Distance-Free Technique.

But, what if they were Ego or Superego players?

Then, Jiang Zhe's disguise would have a huge flaw: he didn't drop a Point Card!

If, before falling to the ground, he summoned his Point Card and placed it on his chest, it was highly likely that a large number of players would be influenced by Personal Common Sense, believing he was truly dead.

It didn't end there.

When someone, like Yu Le just now, said Jiang Zhe was a 【corpse】, and was judged to death by Chen Ran, the others would suspect that the Secret Room was covered by a virtual world, falling for the Personal Common Sense constructed by the two once again.

It had to be said, Jiang Zhe's skill of his reincarnated body having nine lives was very sinister.

Sinister beyond bounds.
