Yu Jiyun slowly stretched out two fingers.

The second time!

Seeing everyone's expressions turn ugly, the four also had no intention of staying behind.

There was silence for about ten minutes.

Those four people appeared at the villa door again. This Yu Jiyun didn't say anything, showed an Eight of Hearts, stretched out three fingers again, and walked straight away.

The third time!

Another burst of silence. A weird aura permeated the villa. Two words simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the eleven people.

Simply put, the four groups of them holding the four different suits of Spades, Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds all arrived at this Villa District at the same time. Moreover, the two players in the four groups who didn't obtain a card also ran out of the villa at the same time, and the Yu Jiyun and Guo Zudong in the four groups also ran out to chase those two at the same time.

The most crucial point was that, other than this, they didn't have a single clue about this script.

Staying in the villa, they would never get an answer. If they wanted to get an answer, they had to walk out and go to the villas of the other suits. But going out might cause a situation of identity confusion. However, they already had no other choice.

But before going out...

Some things had to be made clear.

Ling Yu organized his wording and said: "First of all, the thirty clones that went out to search earlier, the ones that came back, are they really from our group?"

"I don't think they should be," the curly-haired young girl said.

"If they aren't, when the players possessing clone Skills retracted their Skills, those thirty clones indeed disappeared. Doesn't that mean we can exclude the possibility of space?"

Indeed. If you are in Space Number One, you can't retract clones located in Space Number Two. After all, your Skill cannot take effect in Space Number Two.

Of course, spatial and temporal Skills are exceptions.

Theoretically, clone Skills cannot retract clones located in other spaces, but in fact, the two clone players did retract the thirty clones.

Therefore, space could be excluded.

Yang Shuqi frowned and said: "Presumably everyone has deduced just now..."

Speaking up to here, he felt it would be very easy to tell a lie, so he organized his wording: "Looking at the situation just now, I think there should be four groups of us, each group taking a different suit. Moreover, it's very likely we even took the four different suits at the same time. If it was at the same time, according to your words, assuming multiple spaces do not exist, but the four groups of us walked to the Light Zone and didn't see each other, isn't that a bit contradictory?"

Indeed.

Assuming multiple spaces existed, if the clones that went out and the clones that came back were different, they definitely couldn't retract the Skill.

But, they did retract the Skill.

This meant multiple spaces did not exist.

Assuming multiple spaces did not exist, then the four groups of [fifteen people] would meet when walking out of the Dark Zone.

But, they did not meet.

This meant multiple spaces existed.

No matter how they deduced it, the results were self-contradictory.

A youth who had been watching the show all along walked to the coffee table. The youth was called Ying Siliang. His teammates had all died in the Maze, so he had been deliberately lowering his presence. But now he felt it was necessary to salvage this group of people, otherwise they would all die here: "First of all, in the third-floor Secret Room, it can be deduced that among Chen Ran's fifteen people, there is a very high probability that a player possessing a clone Skill exists."

"Secondly, among Chen Ran's fifteen people, there is someone called Lin Xuan. He possesses what is acclaimed as the most perfect spatial Skill in Hell. Although I don't know what the specific effect is."

"But that doesn't hinder our deduction."

"Then, let's simulate the plotline when we first arrived here."

"Two players possessing clone Skills created thirty players. Fifteen searched forward, fifteen searched backward."

"If Chen Ran and his people were here, I think they would do it like this..."

"First, the player among Chen Ran's fifteen people possessing a clone Skill clones out these thirty people."

"Secondly, Lin Xuan transfers the thirty people cloned out on our side to other spaces. Of course, this is an assumption. If his spatial Skill has a transfer effect, I think it should be like this."

"Then, the thirty people cloned out on Chen Ran's side pretend to be the thirty people cloned out on our side and come back. When our side retracts the Skill, the player on their side possessing a clone Skill also retracts the Skill. This way, it will create a false impression: that it was our side that retracted the thirty people. Of course, the premise for this is that they know who cloned who on our side."

Having said that, Ying Siliang looked around: "Do you guys think there is a possibility that they are also in this villa, just in a different space? We can't see them, but they can see us?"

His line of thought was simply amazing.

Let's sort it out.

Just now, in everyone's deductions, both the existence of multiple spaces and the non-existence of multiple spaces were contradictory situations.

Therefore, there had to be an entry point to prove that one of the contradictions did not exist.

And the main source of the contradiction lay in: Why, assuming multiple spaces existed, could the clone Skill players retract their Skills?

Thus, he concluded that the clones that came back had been swapped.

And based on Chen Ran and the others using Skills on the third floor and deliberately confusing the sequence of commands, he concluded that there was a player with a clone Skill among Chen Ran's fifteen people.

Assuming Chen Ran and his people were also here.

Then, he also concluded that the clones that came back were cloned by Chen Ran's side.

But there was a problem here.

Since the clones that came back were cloned by Chen Ran and his people, then where did the clones cloned out on Ling Yu's side go?

He thought of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's Skill was acclaimed as the most perfect spatial Skill in Hell.

Without needing to think, it definitely had a spatial transfer effect.

Thus, he again reached a conclusion: The thirty people cloned on Ling Yu's side were transferred to other spaces by Lin Xuan.

Next was the most crucial part.

When the clones came back, the two clone Skill players on Ling Yu's side confirmed through some sort of operation that the ones that came back were the clones they themselves had cloned. (For specifics, refer to the beginning of Chapter 531.)

If the previous deduction was correct.

Then, the operation in this process was deceived by Chen Ran's fifteen people.

Namely: Chen Ran's side had perception-type Skills.

Simply put, it was that Chen Ran and his people knew which fifteen players the two clone Skill players had respectively cloned out, and which direction they went to search. Therefore, the operations of the two clone Skill players on Ling Yu's side couldn't deceive Chen Ran and his people.

Then linking it with the spatial Skill.

Thus, he concluded that the so-called perception Skill should be a spatial Skill: Namely, Chen Ran and his people were also in the villa right now, just in a different space. Chen Ran's fifteen people could see them, but they couldn't see Chen Ran's fifteen people.

This was Ying Siliang's line of thought.

It could only be said to be ridiculously strong.

Actually, from the fact that in his party, only he could survive the Maze, it already explained everything. He wasn't just a little bit stronger than his teammates. In other words, his teammates encountered a middle-aged him in the Maze, but couldn't even defeat a middle-aged Ying Siliang whose Mental State had problems. This was enough to show Ying Siliang's power; he was completely not on the same level as ordinary Five-Star players.

It wasn't over yet.

Just as everyone was pondering whether this line of thought was feasible, Ying Siliang slowly raised his hand and pointed at Ling Yu: "If I guessed correctly, you shouldn't be a person from our group!"
