I could only sense that they were still alive before, and then the four of them died one after another.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Ran, Jiang Zhe, and Qiu Yinong, the three of them, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they remembered correctly, Jiang Zhe had used a Skill just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, none of the three said anything; they just took a deep look at the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four walked into the Maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the end of this passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front was a wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a passage on both the left and right sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe understood, drew his Liar-Slayer, and was about to use a Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop, what are you doing?\" Lin Xuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Jiang Zhe's spellcasting wind-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran frowned and said, \"By Jiang Zhe using a Skill, we can determine whether we are currently covered by a Virtual Overlay. Secondly, if we and the other teams are all in the same Maze, when Jiang Zhe uses a Skill, the other teams won't know it's Jiang Zhe using a Skill, so there's a high probability they will also use Skills. This way, we can determine whether or not the four teams are actually in the same Maze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to go through so much trouble.\" Lin Xuan waved his large hand and threw a Point Card to Chen Ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran didn't go to catch it. Instead, he stared straight at Lin Xuan for a long time before asking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan raised his middle finger at him: \"Am I that weak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Chen Ran almost blurted out, and added, \"I lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot rang out, and Chen Ran fell to the ground dead. Immediately after, Lin Xuan looked at Jiang Zhe: \"Are you still playing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe was somewhat speechless: \"I originally thought about acting along with Chen Ran for a wave to trick you guys, but I didn't expect him to leave so simply.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan grinned: \"Some things in the world are actually very simple to begin with; it is people who endow them with complexity. It's fine once everything is spoken out in the open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe couldn't help but nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe was killed by Lin Xuan nine times in a row, until he could no longer revive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, only Qiu Yinong and Lin Xuan remained of the original four people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong watched coldly from the sidelines the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the corpses of the two on the ground, which hadn't dropped Point Cards, and said, \"Dealing with me should be very troublesome for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, Chen Ran should have discovered that he doesn't have Eternal Kingdom, confirming that he is fake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Zhe probably also had a way to determine that he was a fake. And since the real Chen Ran wasn't here, he had no interest in playing either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your identity...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's very hard for you to prove yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow!\" Lin Xuan snapped his fingers and walked into the right passage on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About twenty minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the first Rest Area, and went to the next few Rest Areas. Only then did the two return to the first Rest Area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan spread his hands and said, \"I presume you can also deduce the Maze's mechanics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, you are a Qiu Yinong created by my Skill. This space is Space Number Four, which has the same time flow as the original space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiu Yinong didn't feel surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Xuan came in, he had a lie on his body, but he absolutely didn't know who among the three was fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This space was created by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran was created by him, which was why he threw a Point Card to Chen Ran. Chen Ran should have looked at his Liar-Slayer panel earlier and found that the Eternal Kingdom Skill wasn't on the panel, so he told a lie and intentionally died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Ran die, Jiang Zhe also saw no need to continue playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, if Lin Xuan retracted his Skill at this moment, he could make the Qiu Yinong in front of him disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, if he retracted his Skill, Lin Xuan would return to the original space to face those three—Chen Ran and the others—who he didn't know were real or fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, Lin Xuan wanted to clear the Maze in this space. Now he had already understood the Maze's mechanics. Therefore, what he needed to do was to make the players in this space...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be left with only him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong sighed with emotion in her heart. The more she understood Lin Xuan's Skill, the more she was shocked by the terrifying aspects of his spatial Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, this Maze. It was very obvious that the Maze designer had laid down an Immortal-Slaying Trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, Lin Xuan was in another space, not playing with the players of the original space anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who cares how many players in your original space are real? Anyway, all the players in Lin Xuan's space, except for him, were fake. His goal was exceptionally clear: as long as he killed the fakes, he could clear the stage in this space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the fake Chen Ran and the other two all had Psychological Defense Lines. As long as they confirmed they were fake, they wouldn't fight with Lin Xuan and would intentionally seek death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can't prove myself, I can't trigger my Psychological Defense Line. I think there is a high probability you will send me to another space?\" Qiu Yinong thought for a moment and voiced her conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan grinned and made a V sign with his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So to say, if the middle-aged man outside dares to come in, you will also send him to another space?\" Qiu Yinong said with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, exactly.\" Lin Xuan whistled and danced with excitement: \"No way, no way, could it be that someone actually has to go through Infighting in such a simple Maze to find the Maze exit and clear the stage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both Qiu Yinong and the middle-aged man were teleported to other spaces, then only Lin Xuan would be left in this Maze. And according to the Maze mechanics, however many people were facing a fork, that many passages would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there was only a single passage, then the end of this passage must definitely be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Maze exit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he walked out of the Maze in this space, he would retract his Skill and return to the original space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the original space, he...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would also have cleared the stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qiu Yinong thought, Lin Xuan's spatial Skill was truly abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong felt that the people who appeared by Chen Ran's side were perhaps none of them simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself was a hidden piece arranged by the 9th True Self Player by Chen Ran's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Zhe should be a hidden piece arranged by The Almighty by Chen Ran's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was Lin Xuan arranged by?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong asked curiously, \"I want to know, just how exactly did the middle-aged man outside trick you into telling a lie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The middle-aged man outside is Chen Ran. Don't tell me you couldn't sense it? Even if that guy was turned to ashes, I would still recognize him. His Mental State seems to have encountered a problem; he should have been interfered with by something,\" Lin Xuan said, looking at the stone steles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think a Chen Ran with a Mental State problem and whose authenticity is unknown would kill me? I think he would. But if he killed me outside, he would be exposed. So the moment I knew he was Chen Ran, I realized he would do something to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you were intentionally tricked into a lie by the middle-aged man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. After I told the lie, I immediately stood in the middle of you guys, drew my gun and used my Skill, transferring myself into Space Number Four, which has the same time flow, and teleported the Lin Xuan of this space to the original space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps even the real Chen Ran and the others didn't expect that the person who cleared this Maze the fastest would actually be that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not-so-smart Lin Xuan!\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-02T12:08:13.241Z",1,"novelbin.me","c5e314de1726bf68b4ae66d5f96aac98151b1be37ee43366e55fbc32382d79ed","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-518","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-516",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
