Chapter 525: Chen Ran: Do I Dare to Lie?

In the void space.

Hua Hu was replaying the scenes from just now in his mind.

'First, Jiang Zhe used his Skill, and the Secret Room turned black.'

'I immediately used my Skill, and Han Fei and I drilled into the void space.'

'In the void space, Han Fei jumped down from the third floor to the second floor, hiding inside Old Xu's Maze exit door.'

'I, on the other hand, quickly ran downstairs.'

'Because I was in the void space, I was not obstructed by anything. Therefore, I opened a Void Door at a position slightly above the halfway point of the second floor. Lin Xuan and Chen Ran, who were going down from the third floor, both ran into my void space.'

'I opened another Void Door at the stairwell of the second floor. Therefore, Qiu Yinong and Jiang Zhe, who were running down from the halfway point of the second floor, also ran into my void space.'

'And I hid in Old Xu's Maze.'

'And the second effect of my Skill is that when I am not in the void space, and there are other players in the void space, the players in the void space cannot see me who is located in the original space.'

'Therefore, the four on Chen Ran's side couldn't see me.'

'The first time Lin Xuan spoke an Unknown Lie, I opened a small door leading to the void space in the original space, stretched out the gun barrel, and Judged Lin Xuan, but the Judgment failed.'

Up to this step, Hua Hu could understand everything.

But next, it was a bit strange.

'The second time Lin Xuan spoke an Unknown Lie, Han Fei Judged him, and the Judgment still failed.'

'This was what we had planned.'

'I had opened a Void Door behind Han Fei in advance, and its size was consistent with the Maze passage, fundamentally indistinguishable to the naked eye.'

'Thus, when Han Fei's Judgment failed, he would step back two steps and traverse from the real space into the void space, erasing the lie on his body. But facing Han Fei's genuine failed Judgment, Lin Xuan, Qiu Yinong, and Jiang Zhe all drew their guns and pointed them at Han Fei. Why didn't they Judge Han Fei?'

Logically speaking, Chen Ran couldn't deduce Hua Hu's Skill, so he couldn't possibly predict this step.

But Han Fei, in Distance-Free Technique, was certain that Chen Ran could predict this step.

Therefore, he had told Hua Hu to run quickly, to run towards the halfway point of the second floor.

'The facts were also exactly as Han Fei had predicted. Chen Ran, who was originally at the halfway point of the second floor, ran to the third floor, and even spoke an Unknown Information.'

'No matter how you look at it, this move was a sure kill.'

'The reason is very simple. Through the game just now, Chen Ran didn't know at all that the four of them were in the void space. What he wanted to do was to let Lin Xuan use his Skill. And at that time, I had made a move on the second floor, and Han Fei had also appeared in the Maze. Simply put, out of the six people, five were on the 'second floor', with only Chen Ran on the third floor.'

'As long as he told a lie and Lin Xuan used his Skill, they would 'win'.'

'But, I don't understand!!'

'Why did Chen Ran also speak the truth, instead of a lie?'

'Such a good opportunity, and he didn't even grasp it?'

Indeed, in terms of common sense, everything from before had already indicated that there were five people on the second floor, and only Chen Ran on the third floor.

For the people on the second floor to Judge the lying Chen Ran, they would have to run to the halfway point of the second floor. Time-wise, it might be a bit tight, but as long as Lin Xuan grasped the opportunity to use his Skill to transfer Chen Ran, the lying Chen Ran would find it hard to die even if he wanted to.

But, he never expected.

Chen Ran didn't lie on the third floor; he spoke the truth.

Hua Hu didn't understand.

Han Fei also couldn't figure it out. Such a good opportunity had actually been abandoned by Chen Ran.

What happened next was simple.

Hua Hu failed to Judge Chen Ran, confirming that Chen Ran had spoken the truth.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to tell a lie and use his Skill.

But!

Lin Xuan, Chen Ran, Qiu Yinong, and Jiang Zhe—the four of them were in the void space. Therefore, Lin Xuan's Skill could only manufacture five identical void spaces.

Simply put.

Lin Xuan's Skill, taking the void space as a template, manufactured five void spaces with different time flows.

It couldn't manufacture five original spaces.

Logically speaking, if this was the original space, then once Lin Xuan used his Skill, this game should have ended.

But, they were in the void space.

Lin Xuan's Skill couldn't take effect on the original space; using it was equivalent to not using it.

In Hua Hu's eyes...

'At that time, they only had one choice. Jiang Zhe would continue to break my void space, letting the four of them return to the original space, and the six people would restart the game.'

'But!'

'Qiu Yinong used her Skill to reset time back to when I Judged Chen Ran, which was also when Lin Xuan grasped the opportunity to tell a lie. This point is very important. Simply because the four of them were all in the void space, while Han Fei and I were not in the void space. Therefore, the Wheel of Time could not take effect on me and Han Fei.'

'My position was at the halfway point of the second floor.'

'Han Fei's position was in the Maze.'

'After resetting time, Qiu Yinong immediately blocked the Maze entrance, although she and Han Fei were not in the same space.'

'Jiang Zhe blocked in front of Lin Xuan.'

'Up to here, the positions of the six of us had already been confirmed, although the six of us were not in the same space.'

'But, Qiu Yinong snapped her fingers, Jiang Zhe received the signal and used his Skill, breaking my void space. Thus, all six of us were in the original space.'

'In the original space:'

'I was blocked by Jiang Zhe, unable to Judge Lin Xuan.'

'Han Fei was blocked by Qiu Yinong, unable to Judge Lin Xuan.'

'I could only use my Skill again.'

'Lin Xuan took the opportunity to tell a lie and used his spatial Skill in the original space.'

This was the process.

Summarizing the entire process of the game, one would discover that Han Fei had designed an 'environment where Chen Ran could tell a lie with peace of mind', but Chen Ran didn't fall for it.

Chen Ran's line of thought was very clear.

What you give, I don't want.

I want what I create myself.

Chen Ran's line of thought was very simple. It was just to utilize Qiu Yinong's Skill to create an environment where Lin Xuan could tell a lie with peace of mind.

The general process was like this: For example, you take the college entrance examination today, and find the answers online tomorrow. Utilizing a time Skill, you traverse back to yesterday to continue taking the college entrance examination. With the answers, you can do the questions with ease.

By the same logic.

Since Lin Xuan had used his Skill in the void space.

Then, resetting time and breaking the void space, Lin Xuan would definitely be able to use his Skill in the original space as well.

Wasn't this just like going back to take the college entrance examination with the answers?

…

Having replayed the entire process in his mind, Hua Hu finally understood at this moment why Han Fei had to clash with Chen Ran in Distance-Free Technique earlier.

This level of powerhouse, if they can be directly killed, then directly kill them.

'This is troublesome now!'

'However, they won this time mainly because of the reason that the enemy was numerous and we were few. If the other three teammates were here, it's hard to say who would win!'

Hua Hu was somewhat unconvinced.

Han Fei stared at Chen Ran, organizing his wording: "I want to know, just now upstairs you..."

He didn't finish his sentence, nor did he dare to finish it. After all, heaven knows if Chen Ran had taken the opportunity to tell a lie at the moment Jiang Zhe broke the Skill.

However, everyone knew what he wanted to say: Why didn't Chen Ran provide Lin Xuan with a lie upstairs just now?

Hearing this, Chen Ran took a deep drag of his cigarette.

Spitting in his heart:

'You think I would tell you that at any time, in any place, as long as I dare to tell a lie, there is a high probability that someone will traverse through time or space and come to Judge me.'

'Do I fucking dare to lie?'
