Chapter 539: The Mantis Hunts the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind!

Ying Siliang picked up the Ace of Hearts and glanced at Ling Yu's corpse on the ground.

Spades is not safe?!!!

The clone Ying Siliang was stunned. He absolutely didn't expect that the True Form would even deceive him, making him mistakenly think that Spades was absolutely safe?

He hurriedly recalled whether the True Form had said when talking with him: "This is not the Spades players' timeline?"

The clone felt slightly relieved in his heart, secretly thinking: It seems the Goddess of Luck is standing on our side.

Just thinking about it made him feel lingering fear.

On this timeline, the players who established the Future Lie walked out of the Dark Zone and were randomly time-traveled to other timelines. This included the Spades timeline. That is to say, the True Form Ying Siliang was very likely one of the fourteen people who established the Future Lie here.

Fortunately, the Judgment failed.

This Skill of ignoring crucial memories was absolutely a trump card, and also the deepest hidden hunter. He could imagine how many players would be tricked into a lie by this Skill.

Qin Shu hid in the villa.

She somewhat regretted using her Skill, causing the current situation where she didn't know if she had violated the Future Lie.

But, she also knew that even if she survived to the end, she would still have to face three of herself.

The three of herself would definitely also choose to hide.

It was meaningless for the four to waste time with each other.

Simply put.

It wasn't that using a Skill lowered her intelligence, thereby possibly violating the Future Lie. It was that even if they didn't use Skills, when there were only four of themselves left at the end, they would still tell lies and experiment through Judgment to see who was the themselves on the true timeline, and it might not even succeed.

It would be better to use a Skill first and judge which of herself was the herself on the true timeline by resolving the others.

This was originally Chen Ran's design, forcing them to slaughter each other; there was fundamentally no choice.

Just as she was thinking.

The sound of knocking echoed from downstairs.

"Hello, checking the water meter."

Qin Shu's spirits roused. Her deduction was the same as Ling Yu's; she knew that either Ying Siliang's clone would come knocking, or Id Players would come knocking on players' doors.

She put away the Ten of Clubs she was playing with, came to the first floor, and opened the door.

Same as Ling Yu, she confirmed Ying Siliang wasn't covered by a Virtual Overlay, nor was he a virtual person.

Bang!

The door was heavily closed. Ying Siliang glanced at the virtual person Qin Shu in front of him.

In his line of sight, the real Qin Shu had already quickly run to the second floor after closing the door.

"I have a few questions. My True Form will only come downstairs after you answer them."

Ying Siliang motioned for her to speak on.

"First of all, I can roughly deduce your Skill's effect in the previous villa. That is to say, you know my True Form's movement trajectory. Why didn't you Judge her at the first opportunity just now?"

Ying Siliang thought briefly: "Chen Ran should be very strong. His teammates have time and spatial Skills, and there's another one who can crack Skills. And the one cooperating with Chen Ran's party is Han Fei's party. This party is infinitely approaching a top-tier Five-Star party. If we all die here and only I go out, I'm afraid it would be about the same as a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."

Qin Shu's virtual person nodded. After all, in their previous deduction, there also existed a Final Chamber. In that Secret Room, they would confront the Chen Ran and Han Fei parties.

Therefore, this script could first dismantle parties to let elite players survive. When the time comes, elite players would have to form a party to have a final showdown with the Chen Ran and Han Fei parties.

"The second question, before coming to this villa, how many villas have you been to?"

"One."

"What gains did you have?"

Thus, Ying Siliang told her what happened in Ling Yu's villa.

A long silence.

Qin Shu's [True Form] came down; after all, this Qin Shu might be a clone.

"Any last words?"

Qin Shu was actually very calm, but the one speaking was her virtual body: "You should truly want to kill me, right? Perhaps in your eyes, I'm not elite enough, so you won't let me survive to that so-called Final Chamber."

"Reason?" Ying Siliang asked.

"If following the normal sequence, since the Hearts Ling Yu died, then you should go check how many of the other three Ling Yus died, using this to confirm the true timeline, and then come to Judge the players hiding in the villas one by one. If the Judgment fails, you would tell them the true timeline. This way, the four of us could selectively kill the other three of ourselves, preserving the us on the true timeline."

"But you didn't do this, but instead came to Judge us first. The sequence is reversed."

"Either you were lying just now, or you truly want to kill us."

Ying Siliang frowned upon hearing this. Previously, his killing intent towards Qin Shu wasn't strong, but upon hearing her virtual person's excuse, he felt...

It would be better for Qin Shu to die here.

Simply because Qin Shu hadn't deduced that a Skill that ignored important memories existed.

They had been scrambled from the very beginning. Therefore, whether it was confirming the true timeline first, or Judging other players first...

Actually, there was no difference.

Wrong memories leading to wrong conclusions; this is a great taboo for Hell players.
