Chapter 518: Waiting for the Rabbit to Hit the Tree!

~8 min read 1,584 words

Lin Xuan walked out of the Maze exit.

Arriving at the third floor.

The third floor was not yet open. He sat on the steps, smoking a Cigarette, quietly waiting.

Not long after, tap tap tap.

Someone was coming upstairs. From the sound of the footsteps, it seemed there were two people. Lin Xuan couldn't help but crane his neck to look down, only to see two people walking up.

One was handsome like a young Leon Lai.

One was thin and frail with a delicate appearance.

The two also felt something and looked up towards the upper floor. Although they were wearing Sunglasses, from their expressions, it could be seen they were quite shocked.

Lin Xuan retracted his head, straightened his clothes, and patted the dust off his butt. Half-leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed over his chest and a cigar dangling from his mouth, he closed his eyes as if deep in thought, striking what he considered the most handsome pose.

"You guys are so slow."

Seeing the delicate youth staring at him, Lin Xuan made an 'OK' gesture: "It was alright, the Maze is very simple. The hem of my clothes just got slightly dirty."

Chen Ran slowly extended his index finger and wagged it left and right a few times: "Watch me."

After saying that, he sat on the steps with his legs spread wide apart. His elbows rested on his legs, and his hands were clasped together and placed in front of his nose, his eyes slightly cold.

This scene made Lin Xuan couldn't help but think of the scene in Wind and Cloud where Bu Jingyun sat on the roof.

Qiu Yinong and Jiang Zhe cleared the stage at the same time.

Pushing open the exit door.

Meeting in front of the door.

Both of them were somewhat surprised, feeling that with the other party's strength, they shouldn't have cleared the stage so early.

The difficult points of the Maze were three:

One: it involved many counter-intuitive things.

Two: how to prove whether oneself is real or fake, or how to prove whether one's teammate is real or fake.

Three: facing the strongest person in the team.

The first two points were easy to talk about. The key was the third point. For example, the four members of Chen Ran's team all faced the middle-aged Chen Ran, and the five members of Han Fei's team all faced the middle-aged Han Fei.

The so-called reincarnation replication...

Actually fundamentally didn't exist.

Simply put, the first batch of players to enter the Maze were all fake. In the Infighting within each team, the strongest person in the team would ultimately win, and subsequently be influenced by the stone steles to break free of their Psychological Defense Line.

In the second batch of players that entered, each team only had one real player.

It was just these two times, there was no third time.

Then reincarnation did not exist.

So...

There would be much to play next. Clearing the Maze was not the end, but the beginning.

Jiang Zhe stood in front of the exit, holding his Liar-Slayer in one hand, smoking silently.

Qiu Yinong walked upstairs.

Reaching the halfway point between the second and third floor, when she looked up towards the third floor, her pupils suddenly shrank.

She saw Chen Ran and Lin Xuan sitting on the last step of the third floor. Their eyes were cold, and their clasped hands were placed flat in front of their noses, as if deeply pondering something, or waiting for something. Her heart immediately skipped a beat as she secretly thought things were bad: Chen Ran had very likely already deduced that I would test out his Ultimate in the Maze.

She looked at Lin Xuan again.

'Lin Xuan has very likely stood on the same line as Chen Ran. Should I rope in Jiang Zhe?'

Thinking this, every step she took was extremely slow, her brain turning rapidly.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Seeing Qiu Yinong in this state, Chen Ran and Lin Xuan really couldn't keep up the act anymore.

The two pointed at Qiu Yinong.

"Ah hahahaha!"

One burst into side-splitting laughter.

"Eh hahahaha!"

One slapped his thigh in loud laughter.

Qiu Yinong: "..."

'It's decided. From now on, as long as there is a chance, I will give them a Distance-Free Technique kill.'

Han Fei: "..."

'Are these the final opponents I'm facing in the Heart Cultivation Method competition? Having such opponents feels so shameful.'

After Chen Ran and Lin Xuan finished laughing, they continued to sit on the steps, their postures the same as before.

"Comrade Pavel Qiu Korchagin, the great and loyal warrior of the Bolsheviks, go do what you want to do, I will bless you." Lin Xuan's cold tone carried a trace of fervor.

Chen Ran raised a middle finger at Lin Xuan and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't joke around casually."

Hearing this, Qiu Yinong drew her Liar-Slayer. She didn't go up to the third floor, but waited quietly.

Han Fei, who was standing to the side, understood.

'The Maze on the second floor simply doesn't have the so-called reincarnation replication.'

'If, in the Maze, someone spoke about the reincarnation replication mechanism, and didn't employ Avoidance of Lying, they would have told a lie.'

'Lin Xuan reminded Qiu Yinong to do what she wanted to do, and that he would bless her...'

'What does this mean?'

Han Fei felt that it was highly likely related to the Skills of the two of them, probably a Combo Skill.

However, among his teammates, there was a spatial Skill owner who could erase lies.

'Wait!'

Han Fei suddenly widened his eyes, simply because he found that Jiang Zhe hadn't appeared here.

He had no worries about whether his teammates could clear the Maze.

But there was only one spatial Skill. This meant that if his other three teammates spoke about the reincarnation replication mechanism and didn't employ Avoidance of Lying, they wouldn't have time at all to spatially traverse and erase the lie, and would be broken by Jiang Zhe's Skill.

He wanted to go downstairs...

But, Chen Ran and Lin Xuan were sitting right at the stairwell on the third floor. This was not giving him the chance to go downstairs and inform them!

Only at this moment did Han Fei look Chen Ran squarely in the eye for a long moment.

'This opponent's ability to predict the future is actually above mine?!'

'No!'

'It's an information gap. I don't know the specific effects of Lin Xuan and Qiu Yinong's Skills, which is why I was one step slower than Chen Ran. Even so, it also shows that Chen Ran's ability to predict the future is at least not much worse than mine.'

Feng Yucheng walked out of the Maze, greedily breathing the free air, only to find Jiang Zhe standing in front of the exit, looking at him fixedly and revealing two rows of white teeth.

Tap tap tap.

Someone walked down from upstairs. It was a beautiful woman with a cold expression.

"You lied."

The woman acted with zero-frame startup. She pointed the muzzle of her gun at him, immediately spoke the command, and subsequently fired.

Feng Yucheng clearly saw the spark the moment the bullet left the chamber, which then shot towards his forehead at an extremely fast speed. His forehead felt as if it had been bitten by something, and his consciousness gradually faded.

'Impossible!'

'How did she know that I told a lie in the Maze? She actually dared to Judge an Unknown Lie?'

Boom, Feng Yucheng fell down.

And Qiu Yinong jogged towards him the moment she fired the gun. She quickly picked up the Point Card from the corpse. The Point Card disappeared in her hand, turning into Points that appeared in her Liar-Slayer.

Jiang Zhe: "..."

'Usually she's like a quiet gourd, how come she's so fast at picking up Point Cards?'

"One share per person." Qiu Yinong didn't plan to hoard it all for herself. She stated the division of benefits and pointed at the corpse on the ground.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhe could only obediently throw the corpse back into the Maze that Feng Yucheng came out from, and also wiped clean the bloodstains on the ground. Only then did Qiu Yinong toss him a Point Card.

About ten minutes or so passed.

Another woman walked out of the Maze. The woman did not belong to the players from the three teams of Chen Ran, Han Fei, and Feng Yucheng. She was very vigilant and first looked left and right for a moment. She only saw Jiang Zhe, but quickly figured out the reason behind this: 'I remember that among the previous four teams, there was one team without an Id Player, and they were very afraid of Virtual Overlay. However, this young man's Skill can break Skills. Is this to prevent any players from using Virtual Overlay the moment they exit the Maze?'

Thus, she walked out of the Maze...

Tap tap tap.

Qiu Yinong walked down from upstairs again.

Still with a zero-frame startup.

"You lied."

Click, the Bullet jammed. Panic appeared on Qiu Yinong's face, and she immediately pointed the gun at the ceiling.

Seeing this, the woman hesitated slightly, but still didn't raise her gun to Judge Qiu Yinong.

"Liar-Slayer: Wheel of Time!"

The entire corridor immediately turned black. In the darkness, the woman was startled, her expression looking ugly.

'Liar-Slayer Command?'
