Chapter 540: Fight!

Ling Yu hid on the second floor of the villa, playing with the Ace of Spades in his hand.

The outside was overlaid with more than a dozen layers of virtual realities. He fundamentally couldn't see clearly what was happening outside.

At this time, the sound of knocking came from downstairs.

"Hello, checking the water meter."

Going downstairs to open the door, same as the previous operation by the Hearts Ling Yu, he confirmed that the Ying Siliang in front of his eyes wasn't virtual. Only then did he close the door.

The two took their seats on the sofa.

"Are you ready?"

Facing Ying Siliang's inquiry, Ling Yu lit a cigarette: "You came a bit later than I expected."

These words seemed ordinary and unexceptional, but if pondered carefully, one would discover its true meaning was saying: You might have first encountered the me on other timelines. That you could find me again means you killed him. Then I haven't violated the Future Lie, and it's basically impossible for you to trick out my lie.

Ying Siliang took a drag of his cigarette: "I feel that from beginning to end, we've ignored one point."

"Do you think there's a possibility that this Villa District isn't an independent space?"

"What do you mean?" Ling Yu grew interested and couldn't help but ask.

"Do you think there's a possibility that actually, the so-called Final Chamber is just not far from the Villa District, or adjacent to it?"

…

Meanwhile.

In the Final Chamber.

Han Fei held half a watermelon, scooped a spoonful of the flesh with a spoon, and put it in his mouth. His expression was extremely enjoyable. This kind of watermelon, chilled and sprinkled with a layer of sugar, was his favorite.

"So to speak, if they want to clear this Secret Room alive, they can only construct a Deceiver's Tongue?"

Chen Ran lay on a rocking chair, reached out to take the chilled black tea on the small table and took a sip, revealing a smile with two rows of teeth to Han Fei.

Getting Chen Ran's confirmation.

Han Fei sank into deep thought.

Han Fei couldn't help but frown. Chen Ran's layout could be described as closely interlocked. Those fifteen people were just like the novel characters under his pen, swept along by the plotline he had conceived in advance.

…

In the villa, hearing Ying Siliang's words, the expression on Ling Yu's face changed, becoming uncertain.

"Your meaning is, we might have fallen into the... constructed by Chen Ran for us?"

"Personal Common Sense?"

Ying Siliang nodded: "If the so-called Final Chamber and the Villa District on the true timeline are in the same space..."

"It will be very hard for us to survive!"

Hearing this, Ling Yu wanted to curse, but didn't dare curse out loud. He just held it in, holding it in until his face flushed red.

"Don't tell me this is the true timeline, right?"

Simply put, if this wasn't the true timeline, them using Skills here didn't violate the Future Lie established on the true timeline, but if...

This was the true timeline, then the them on the true timeline using Skills here would violate the Future Lie.

Wanting to prove this point...

Ying Siliang took a drag of his cigarette, his eyes looking lifelessly at the ceiling: "You'd best be able to prove you aren't a clone, otherwise, we can only construct a Deceiver's Tongue!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, Ling Yu's mind shook violently, and he glared fiercely at Ying Siliang.

"Don't tell me you've already killed the me of other suits?"

Ying Siliang nodded.

Seeing this, Ling Yu was boiling with rage and kicked the coffee table in front of him.

Ying Siliang ignored Ling Yu, who knew that his True Form might have already died out, and said to himself: "Clones created in the darkness possess the True Form's thoughts. If there is no psychological suggestion in advance, wherever the True Form runs, the rest of the clones will run."

"Recall carefully. In the darkness, when you ran to the front of the villa door, was the door in a closed state? If it was in a closed state, then it proves it's the True Form, running into the villa one step earlier to close the villa's main door."

A time difference existed here. When the sky turned black, the True Form was already running. But the created clones were initially stationary, and only then would they run towards the villa. Therefore, the person who arrived at the villa first was the True Form. The clones were shut out and could only run into other villas.

In other words, as long as there was a person who chose a villa a second time, then they were all...

Clones!

Ling Yu froze in place. Simply because in the darkness, he had run towards the villa closest to the door, but he was shut out, which was why he chose this current villa.

Ling Yu's brain spun rapidly, hoping to find a flaw in this. For example, the so-called being shut out was encountering a Whisperer's Secret Room, and the other party leaving and choosing to retract the Skill.

But.

For a player to reach his level, it was impossible to fall for this kind of low-level trick. He could be absolutely certain that what he touched the first time was the villa's main door.

Ling Yu slumped onto the sofa. He clearly knew that with Chen Ran's level of insidiousness, it was impossible to let them Infight on a non-true timeline. In other words, this was highly likely the true timeline.

Moreover, the him on the true timeline had already been killed by Ying Siliang.

Ling Yu opened his mouth with difficulty...

Without waiting for him to say anything, Ying Siliang took out the Ace of Hearts from his pocket!

This was... the best proof of killing the him on this timeline.

For some people, the most terrifying ghost story in this world was: actually knowing that oneself was already dead while [still alive], the kind that's completely done for.

Superego affected emotions, exploding with a bang at this moment. With a savage expression, he roared: "Even if I am a clone, it doesn't prove that all the rest of my True Forms are dead! This shouldn't be the true timeline! How could a person like me die so simply? I haven't obtained the Method of Lingtai Second Realm Cultivation yet! I haven't become a Floor Master! I haven't ruled the entire Hell! I haven't..."

"Shut up!" Ying Siliang looked at him coldly and said with disdain: "You are the sorest loser among all the Heart Cultivators I've seen. Since it's come to this point, you should face it calmly. Don't forget you still have teammates."

This last sentence made Ling Yu, who was controlled by the Superego, suddenly awaken. Five-Star party members had basically established deep friendships and wouldn't abandon teammates at will.

Ling Yu lit a cigarette again and said apologetically to Ying Siliang: "Sorry, I made a fool of myself just now. Having been in Hell for so long, I actually still haven't seen through life and death."

"However, if I don't tell a lie, you can't do anything to me. And since you poured everything out to me, it means you need my help."

"Then, let's have a good fight with Chen Ran!"

This was the terror of Five-Star players. Even if they were dead, they would still fight, striving for a sliver of survival chance for the living.
