Moreover, it's highly unlikely for cloning or reincarnation mechanics to exist in this Maze, so the answer can only be players turning into NPCs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaohai nodded: \"Among the effects of Si Jincheng's Skill, there might exist an effect that turns players into a part of this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three nodded, somewhat accepting this absurd setting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fei continued: \"There's another question. What does 'pick up the can' mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there were still NPCs in the Maze, then the person who yelled to pick up the can just now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was an NPC!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This NPC wasn't necessarily an NPC in their Maze; it was also possible they were an NPC in the other three Mazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaohai took over the topic: \"Then the question arises: why did they ask us to pick up the can, and why did you pick up the can?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fei pondered and said, \"I experimented earlier. Markings cannot be left on the walls, and when a can is thrown on the ground, the walls will move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my previous deduction, since Markings couldn't be made on walls, and making Markings on the ground would also move the walls, it meant that it was basically equivalent to not being able to make Markings at all. But this Secret Room is a Maze; it's very difficult to clear without Markings. Therefore, I was thinking: does human memory count as a kind of Marking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three understood. In Han Fei's previous deduction, cloning or reincarnation mechanics existed in this Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clone enters the Maze, familiarizes themselves with the traps in the Maze or how to walk to clear it and so on, and then the clone returns to lead the True Form to clear this Secret Room Maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Han Fei's previous deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the appearance of the black shadow just now, based on the timing of the Judgment, led the four to conclude: this Maze had no cloning or reincarnation mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you're saying, you previously deduced that this Maze might have clones or reincarnation. You picked up the can because you were afraid that we were all reincarnations or clones, and if you didn't pick up the can, it would cause the next batch of 'us' to deduce incorrectly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If at that time, after Han Fei threw the can, he found two cans in front of the entrance, then Han Fei and the others would deduce that a cloning or reincarnation mechanism existed in this Maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, this Maze had no cloning or reincarnation mechanism at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking up to here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them widened their eyes and glared fiercely at Han Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any last words?\" Han Fei silently took a drag of his cigarette and looked at the three of them with sincere eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that all three were in a state of shock, Han Fei helplessly drew his Liar-Slayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two shots. Li Xiaohai and Tang Xiaotan were shot in the forehead, falling stiffly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fei swung his gun muzzle to point at Neng Ningyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among the five people in the team, only your IQ can rival mine. I want to know, exactly where did I reveal a flaw?\" There was no problem with these words, but the fact that the person saying them was Han Fei meant there was a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neng Ningyuan pointed at Hua Hu's corpse: \"He just used a Skill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is.\" Han Fei shook his head with a bitter smile. \"Your Emotional Deception is still as formidable as ever. Do you have any last words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\" Neng Ningyuan originally wanted to roll his eyes, but after thinking about it, he said, \"This Secret Room probably isn't that simple. That guy named Chen Ran should also be The Highest Goodness is Like Water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot rang out. Neng Ningyuan died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Fei put away his Liar-Slayer, dragged a corpse, and went toward the left passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four corpses were all dragged by him to a certain spot in the left passage. The blood on the ground was absorbed by the lawn, leaving not a single trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran and his group of four walked into the Maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, they felt something and turned to look behind them. The entrance was blocked by a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had thoroughly turned into a Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking straight for a distance, it was a dead end in front, but there was a passage on both the left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choose.\" Chen Ran shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not that troublesome,\" Lin Xuan said and was about to draw his Liar-Slayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intention was very obvious: first transfer everyone to another space, and explore whether to go left or right in the other space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, in the other space, they chose the left passage. If the end of the left passage was a dead end, they would transfer back to this space and choose to go to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that Lin Xuan's spatial Skill was truly perfect. It was just like having a cheat code, allowing him to play however he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran raised his hand to stop him: \"How are you sure the Maze hasn't been overlaid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. If all 20 players were in the same Maze, it was highly likely that the scene they were seeing had already been overlaid by Virtual Overlay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, from the time we arrived at the Maze until now, the Secret Room has never turned black.\" Lin Xuan felt that Chen Ran was being overly cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's better to be cautious.\" Saying this, Chen Ran looked at Jiang Zhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe drew his gun: \"Ghost Whisperer: Emperor's Seal of Reincarnation: Reverse the Future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Secret Room turned black, but in the darkness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second gunshot rang out. The three instantly realized things were bad; Lin Xuan might be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light returned, Lin Xuan's corpse was lying on the ground. Seeing this, Chen Ran...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, was quick on the draw and picked up the Point Card that had dropped beside Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the fact that Lin Xuan had lied, the three were well aware of the reason, which was very simple...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when they had just appeared in this Secret Room, they were overlaid by various virtual Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe had used his Skill once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Lin Xuan's Skill had already been broken by Jiang Zhe's Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he said that he could no longer sense the two spaces with the fast time flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this sentence wasn't a lie—after all, since his spatial Skill was broken, he indeed could not sense the other spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Ran had asked: 'Before you lost the connection, what did you sense?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan's answer was: 'The Maze seems to have an anti-detection mechanism. Previously, I could only sense that they were still alive, and then the four of them died one after another.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sentence contained a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why did Lin Xuan lie?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Given the situation at the time, with so many players present, logically speaking, he shouldn't have blatantly lied.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if the others didn't know the effects of Lin Xuan's Skill, Jiang Zhe was also present. It's impossible for Lin Xuan to be unguarded against Jiang Zhe.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking up to here, Qiu Yinong couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhe. Jiang Zhe shrugged, indicating it had nothing to do with him, and he looked at Chen Ran again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran lit a Cigarette: \"I think it should be related to that middle-aged man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying that the middle-aged man used Distance-Free Technique on Lin Xuan and said something to him within Distance-Free Technique, which caused Lin Xuan to dare to lie so brazenly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran nodded: \"It should be like this. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the behavioral logic of Lin Xuan's actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really troublesome. One died right after arriving in this Maze. So what we need to do next is deduce who killed Lin Xuan?\" Chen Ran drew the Liar-Slayer at his waist and looked at Qiu Yinong and Jiang Zhe with unfriendly eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-06-02T12:08:13.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3837ca3df3952d17c106beae6cf5404d1e168d13520bc8a8f168278ab48e9f8","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-510","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-508",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
