Chapter 615: Survival Through Desperation

The third time loop.

The fourth time loop.

The fifth time loop.

Remaining number of people in the Instance: 8 people.

...

Still in front of the experimental building.

Seven people stood in front of the building, just like in previous time loops, deducing bit by bit.

Deduction ended.

When it was time to go upstairs, Chen Ran's gaze swept over the remaining six people, having two among them stay in front of the experimental building to guard.

Chen Ran wasn't anxious to go down. Instead, he leisurely lit a cigarette, glanced at Qiu Yinong who had a face full of vigilance, and walked up to her.

Just when he was about to say something.

Three people pushed the door and came in.

Among them two were the people Chen Ran previously left in front of the experimental building, the third person...

Naturally was Yue Guanshan.

Yue Guanshan looked at Chen Ran with a smiling face.

Giving him a thumbs up.

Chen Ran looked at Yue Guanshan with disdain.

Giving him the middle finger.

Yue Guanshan walked up to Chen Ran. And there was a saying to Chen Ran's standing position. On his right side there was only Qiu Yinong alone; on his left side were the three people who came up together with him, while Yue Guanshan squeezed between Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong.

The remaining five people were all on their left side.

"You do it, or I do it?" Yue Guanshan's expression was having Chen Ran dead to rights.

Chen Ran ignored him, but waved his hand at Qiu Yinong: "In a moment, the words we say you definitely have to hear clearly."

Yue Guanshan also followed suit, waving his hand at Qiu Yinong and exhorted: "Listen well."

At this time, the remaining five people had already obviously sensed something wrong, silently retreating two steps, making preparations to run away at any time.

Following closely behind, Chen Ran began narrating, from the deduction process, as well as the meaning of the Double-slit Experiment, but just wouldn't say the answer.

For example: He merely said, we are prohibited from lying, which fits the characteristics of the Hell of Tongue-Ripping, and this number 14, repeatedly appears.

They were all smart people. Hearing up to here they should be able to associate it with the Unjust Death Hell. But the problem was Chen Ran just wouldn't say Unjust Death Hell.

When he finished narrating.

The remaining five people were as nauseated as if they had eaten a fly, cursing his mother non-stop in their hearts.

But time waits for no man.

Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan both fished out knives from their pockets, slaughtering towards Qiu Yinong.

What was strange was...

Qiu Yinong seemingly didn't sense it. When the knives were about to touch her skin, only then did she react, but it was already too late.

One knife stabbed in the chest.

One knife slit the throat.

...

In the First Dungeon Chamber, Qiu Yinong's consciousness returned to her body.

Seeing the rest of the people all look at her, she hurriedly looked towards Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan, only seeing that Yue Guanshan lost consciousness, yet Chen Ran hadn't.

Qiu Yinong truly found it hard to believe that the person who helped her clear the Instance was unexpectedly the fake Chen Ran.

Even more terrifying was that up until now she still hadn't sorted out the scheming of the entire Instance clearly.

Previously, inside the laboratory, when Chen Ran waved at her and spoke out: [In a moment, the words we say you definitely have to hear clearly.]

She clearly saw Chen Ran's palm...

Writing:

[In the left ear, out the right ear.]

Yue Guanshan's palm also simultaneously had similar text written:

[Do not deduce, do not think.]

After obtaining the hint, when Chen Ran narrated the underlying logic of the entire Instance, Qiu Yinong's mind wandered the entire time, her spirit roaming the horizon. Under the situation where Chen Ran didn't explicitly speak out the answer, this state of Qiu Yinong...

Let alone deducing the answer, there wasn't even the most basic deduction.

Now, seeing that the chair behind her was number [14], she immediately then deduced the true answer of the Instance, and also understood the reason for her clearing the Instance.

She could understand all these, but what she couldn't understand was, why Chen Ran and Yue Guanshan in the time loop...

Would have deviant behavior appear?

Qiu Yinong rubbed the center of her brows. She carefully reviewed the entire Instance.

Instance mechanics: People who haven't deduced the answer will clear the Instance after dying; people who have deduced the answer will be very hard-pressed to clear the Instance.

This mechanism is incomparably vicious.

But, Chen Ran however utilized the identity of an Observer, to create an advantageous environment for his own self who would switch to a player's identity in a moment.

After all, the moment he killed Qiu Yinong, he turned into player behavior.

And player behavior possesses 'to the greatest possible extent', but at that time, they were all in the laboratory. Therefore 'to the greatest possible extent' could only be joining hands with Yue Guanshan to kill the five people.

By the same logic, Yue Guanshan was also like this.

Simply put, it was the two people utilizing Observer behavior to create a desperate situation for themselves, then by killing Qiu Yinong, turning into player behavior.

Then, player behavior: The opening is precisely Hell Mode. The greatest possible extent has and only has one: Joining hands to kill the five people.

Thinking of this point.

Qiu Yinong looked towards the Clown. Organizing her wording a bit, she pointed at Chen Ran: "Can I ask Chen Ran a few questions?"

"Revealing the mechanics of this Secret Room will suffer obliteration," the Clown said sinisterly.

Qiu Yinong nodded. Only then did she look towards Chen Ran and ask: "I want to know, if you sink into a time loop, every loop will lose the memory of the previous one, and you yourself also only have the memories of the university period, what would you do to be able to ensure every time loop will be done according to your thoughts?"

Right at this time, Yue Guanshan, who had lost consciousness, raised his head, giving a thumbs up to Chen Ran.
