My na is Chen Ran.

Right now, I am furious. If the gun at my waist wasn't restricted, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot these sons of bitches dead.

Simply because...

I was completely fooled by them!

Three Skills, one Deceiver's Tongue, one Secret Room, and five layers of interference.

Eternal Kingdom could break through these five layers of interference, but to do so...

I had to deduce the identity of the liar.

But...

I, Fat Tiger, simply cannot do it!

Looking past the surface to see the essence, those three Three-Star Ghost Whisperers were so eager to use their Skills, yet I was the only one capable of breaking them.

They were obviously coming for !

They wanted to kill .

Trick a lie out of , then kill . In short, they wanted dead.

Therefore, the trap was the deduction of who the liar was. Simply put, as soon as I started deducing, I would fall right into their snare.

I felt like...

They were deliberately making things difficult for , Fat Tiger!

Hilarious.

Am I the kind of person to casually jump into a trap?

If anyone out there thinks: yes.

Then I can only say...

You are an excellent judge of character.

I was tricked straight into the pit by these sons of bitches.

Fortunately, I realized it in ti.

However, before I restart my deductions, I need to review exactly how I was deceived.

...

First, to deduce who the liar was, I had to determine the exact ti the Deceiver's Tongue was subjected to Lie Breaking, in order to narrow down the scope.

Qiu Yinong had used the Wheel of Ti.

If the Deceiver's Tongue had undergone Lie Breaking before she used the Wheel of Ti...

The liar would have been singled out and killed by Qiu Yinong, aning they would have been nad and subjected to Judgnt one by one.

Diwu Zeyi stated that he had deduced who the liar was and successfully used his Skill.

This proved that before Diwu Zeyi used his Skill, the Deceiver's Tongue had already faced Lie Breaking.

Thus, the exact ti of the Lie Breaking was: after Qiu Yinong used her Skill, and before Diwu Zeyi used his.

What happened during that interval?

Long Hui used his Skill!

In other words, Long Hui's Skill unintentionally caused Lie Breaking on soone's Deceiver's Tongue.

Long Hui's Skill branded a countdown onto a Player's arm.

To put it another way, anyone with a countdown on their arm was a Player.

The evidence: the corpse on the floor inside the carriage did not have a countdown on its arm.

Therefore.

I reached this conclusion: soone's identity was problematic, perhaps they were not even human. However, Long Hui's Skill gave everyone's identity a unique attribute: Player!

The problem was, all ten people in the carriage had countdowns on their arms. They were all Players; a non-Player simply did not exist among us.

I had to bla myself for this, simply because I had used Eternal Kingdom before Long Hui used his Skill, completely shattering the Ghost Whisperer's Skill.

That is to say.

Eternal Kingdom shattered the Skill, forcing the person with the problematic identity to reveal their true form, and then Silent Seal branded that true form with the unique label:

"Player"

The Deceiver's Tongue was broken!

This also explained why the liar managed to avoid being singled out and killed within Qiu Yinong's Wheel of Ti.

Next.

It was ti to deduce: who was the Ghost Whisperer that fabricated this Deceiver's Tongue?

I thought of Lin Xiuyuan.

His Slave had provided a lie to Li Zhitong. Was it possible that the Slave had also provided a lie to him?

For a Slave, providing a lie to one person versus providing it to two people really made no difference. After all, apart from those two, no one else could deduce that he was the one providing the lies.

Unfortunately, he ran into Qiu Yinong.

For Lin Xiuyuan, having a chance at Judgnt that could be discarded at any mont was simply a god-tier opening hand.

Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan's Slave definitely would have provided a lie to Lin Xiuyuan.

But, from beginning to end, I had never seen Lin Xiuyuan use a Skill in a situation where no one had lied. This was highly illogical.

Unless...

He had already used his Skill.

Exactly!

Entering the venue one minute early!

He had already used his Skill during that one minute. So the question was...

What was his Skill?

Earlier, when Li Zhitong prepared to use Mount Tai Crushing Down for the second ti, we were all terrified by the ntal bludgeoning, so we scrambled to use our Skills first.

Because I activated my Skill preemptively, the others failed to unleash theirs.

However, they still shouted their activation phrases.

Among them, one phrase was:

"Ghost Whisperer: Substitute Doll!"

At that ti, ti was incredibly tight, and the person who shouted this phrase didn't bother to disguise their voice.

It was... Lin Xiuyuan!

Lin Xiuyuan had used his Skill right at the very beginning, and that Skill was the Substitute Doll.

A conclusion could be drawn: from the mont I first saw Lin Xiuyuan in the supermarket, up until the mont I used Eternal Kingdom, during that entire period...

The Lin Xiuyuan we saw wasn't actually Lin Xiuyuan, but his Substitute Doll.

In the supermarket, before Lin Xiuyuan began his deduction about the pirates splitting the gold coins, he had said: "My na is Lin Xiuyuan, and I am going to begin my deduction."

A Deceiver's Tongue was ford!

From this, it could be deduced that Lin Xiuyuan's Skill had two effects. First: the Substitute Doll transford into him and appeared before us.

Second: his true body turned invisible!

Only this could explain why Lin Xiuyuan didn't change at all after I used Eternal Kingdom, and it also explained why he specifically emphasized "My na is Lin Xiuyuan."

Eternal Kingdom caused his Substitute Doll to vanish and forced his true body to appear. Furthermore, this happened in the dark, so no flaws could be spotted.

Emphasizing "My na is Lin Xiuyuan" was purely to fabricate a Deceiver's Tongue.

What deep scheming.

What ticulous calculation.

The formation of the Deceiver's Tongue, the Lie Breaking, and Lin Xiuyuan's Skill—I had completely deduced all of it.

Next, the most crucial part of all: it was ti to deduce who the liar was!

I could swear on... ten years of Qiu Yinong's lifespan, that in this tiline, not a single one of the ten people present had told a lie!

"My na is Lin Xiuyuan" was spoken by the Substitute Doll; it had nothing to do with Lin Xiuyuan's true body.

Therefore, even though the Deceiver's Tongue was subjected to Lie Breaking, Lin Xiuyuan was still not guilty of lying.

This was the absolute most baffling point to : who on earth actually lied?

Very quickly, I found my answer.

It still went back to when Li Zhitong intended to use Mount Tai Crushing Down for the second ti.

At that mont, as we scrambled to use our Skills, I used Eternal Kingdom first. Logically, the exact second I fired my gun, the Substitute Doll should have disappeared, yet we could still hear:

"Ghost Whisperer: Substitute Doll!"

This proved that the person who shouted the activation phrase was the true body of Lin Xiuyuan, who had just been revealed.

There was a logical loophole here.

He already had a Substitute Doll active, so why would he use the Skill a second ti?

Even if two Substitute Dolls could exist simultaneously, the mont everyone saw two Lin Xiuyuans, they would instantly deduce the series of mysteries hidden within.

Therefore.

It was impossible, and there was absolutely no reason, for him to use the Substitute Doll a second ti.

But the truth was, he really had shouted the phrase. Moreover, when the lights returned to the carriage, I clearly saw everyone pulling their triggers to confirm whether their Skills had been banned by .

I pondered the logical loophole of Lin Xiuyuan using the Substitute Doll for the second ti for a very long ti.

Ultimately, I recalled his background information:

He had once cleared the Instance "Redemption of the Psychopath."

I reached a conclusion: Lin Xiuyuan had multiple personalities.

Suppose Lin Xiuyuan only had one dominant personality and one sub-personality.

If the person who used the Substitute Doll the first ti was the dominant personality, then the person intending to use it the second ti was the sub-personality.

Furthermore, the mories of the two personalities were not shared.

Only under these circumstances would a situation arise where he would try to use a second Substitute Doll when one was already active.

...

Everything above, except for the part about personalities, was the deduction process through which I was deceived. The deduction regarding personalities was, I believed, exactly the conclusion the three Three-Star Ghost Whisperers wanted to reach.

After all, they knew I had co here tracking Lin Xiuyuan, which ant I had definitely reviewed Lin Xiuyuan's background data in advance.

They knew I was aware the target had cleared the Instance "Redemption of the Psychopath."

They thought I was a Newbie, that I had a blind spot regarding how Skills functioned across different personalities. That was why they kept relentlessly spamming their Skills to pile pressure onto my deductions, while telling soone had lied to guide toward deducing the liar's identity. Then, they wanted to reach this conclusion:

"Different personalities using the sa Liar-Slayer possess the sa Skill."

I can only say...

What a coincidence!

I encountered two psychopaths in my damn last Instance as well.

And my conclusion was:

"Different personalities using the sa Liar-Slayer possess completely different Skills!"

When Lin Jiabao used his Liar-Slayer, his Skill was Three Flowers Converging at the Peak. When Lin Jiabei used Lin Jiabao's Liar-Slayer, her Skill was Floating Life Nightmare.

If not for this prior conclusion, I would have absolutely been led straight into the ditch by them!

I dare to bet ten years of Qiu Yinong's lifespan that the mont I reached the wrong conclusion, they would definitely spend the following ti tricking into voicing that flawed deduction out loud.

You want to kill ?

In your damn dreams!

Now, everything deduced above is completely overturned. I will start again from the very beginning to find the liar hiding among these ten people.
