I had no mory of Future Lie 1 and Future Lie 2.
If it were not for Long Hui, I most likely would have been set up and killed in this tiline.
There should be five active skills right now: Wheel of Ti, Silent Seal, Turned Upside Down, Mount Tai Crushing Down, and Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers.
Just now...
I rembered that the last person to use a skill was Diwu Zeyi.
His Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers was absurdly overpowered. It could weaken our skills, and once weakened to a certain extent, they would fall under his control.
It was also influenced by the level of his skill.
True Self was a supre skill that possessed the privilege of priority judgnt, but there was no such distinction between the remaining Id, Ego, and Superego skills.
After all, those three types of skills were simply categorizations made by players.
The True Self was different. It involved the stone pillars of the 18th Level. The Pillar Rules could not be broken or influenced by other skills, and therefore, True Self Skills were the sa.
In other words.
It was highly likely that at this very mont, Diwu Zeyi had already taken control of our skills.
I looked down at my arm.
Countdown: 24 seconds.
My pupils instantly constricted. Just as I was about to speak to Long Hui, I rembered the existence of Turned Upside Down and abandoned any intention of looking up.
But right at that mont.
"Everyone!" a shout rang out, causing to instinctively raise my head. Then, I had no idea what happened; I only felt a sudden bout of disorientation in my mind.
It felt as if I had lost sothing.
When I regained my senses, I saw flas. A raging inferno had appeared within the Secret Room.
It threatened to swallow whole, making feel as insignificant as an ant before such a massive blaze.
'Where did this fire co from?'
'Not good. It is my Mount Tai Crushing Down. Diwu Zeyi has taken control of it, and I have now beco a patient suffering from Alice in Wonderland Syndro.'
Furthermore.
A Level Three Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers would strengthen my Level Two Mount Tai Crushing Down.
First controlling my Level Two skill, then enhancing it by three levels... that ant it was now a Level Five...
Mount Tai Crushing Down!
The scorching heat made it feel as though my soul were being roasted over an open fire. It hurt. It hurt so much. Was this the effect of a Level Five Mount Tai Crushing Down?
'So powerful!'
'If I were a Five-Star player and Mount Tai Crushing Down extended to this effect, would I not be invincible? I cannot die here!'
'As long as I survive, my future and my prospects will be exceptionally bright.'
With this thought in mind, I reached out my hand, but before I could do anything, I noticed a talisman already attached to my arm. The piercing agony of my soul burning completely vanished.
'A Heart-Clearing Talisman?'
'Sothing is wrong!'
'Sothing is very wrong!'
Turned Upside Down dictated that as long as speaking or acting fulfilled two actions, the brain would be unable to process the information of the second action.
Just now, lowering my head to check the ti was one action. Hearing soone shout was another. After that, I had absolutely no related mories.
The next thing I knew, I saw the Secret Room engulfed in flas.
That ant...
When I heard the shout, I instinctively raised my head to see who was yelling.
But I never received that sensory information.
'Not good!'
Turned Upside Down had also been seized by Diwu Zeyi, and the skill had been reinforced.
It had beco...
Whether speaking or acting, the mont a single action was completed, the brain would fail to receive any information regarding the second action.
I looked down and saw the countdown tir stamped onto my arm by Silent Seal:
Two minutes and fifty-nine seconds.
Silent Seal originally lasted for five minutes, but now it had been reduced to three.
This perfectly confird my theory. Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers truly had taken over our skills.
The skills under its control were:
Mount Tai Crushing Down.
Silent Seal.
Turned Upside Down.
And...
Wheel of Ti!!!
Simply because this was the third tiline created by the Wheel of Ti, it was supposed to last for about five minutes. But now...
If Wheel of Ti was enhanced after being subjugated by Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers, what kind of effect would it produce?
'No, Emperor Erges from the Three Rivers should only prioritize nurical enhancents.'
'My skill does not possess nurical values, so it was reinforced in other aspects.'
'None of this is the main point. The crucial question is, did I speak to Long Hui just now?'
'Why did Diwu Zeyi choose to suddenly speak up when there were only twenty-four seconds left on the countdown, cutting off our ability to receive information?'
'Logically speaking, it would have been much better to draw our attention when there were only a few seconds remaining.'
'Wait!'
'This is terrible!'
'Is it possible that within the information I failed to process, Qiu Yinong's Wheel of Ti ended exactly at that mont, causing all the mories from the other tilines to return?'
'Since I could not perceive the information during the second action, it is only natural that I would also fail to receive the returning mories when the Wheel of Ti ended!'
'This ans I have no way of knowing what we actually said or did during the first and second tilines, nor do I know the specific contents of Future Lie 1 and 2.'
'The mont I act in a way that violates those first two Future Lies...'
'I will be breaking a Future Lie!'
'No!'
'That cannot be right!'
'Before the Wheel of Ti is broken, the Future Lies from the vanished tilines should not be able to affect the current tiline.'
'The evidence: my previous deductions.'
'Future Lie 1 was ticulously designed for Qiu Yinong by Chen Ran. If I had deduced that Qiu Yinong was the liar during the second tiline...'
'As long as I passed Judgnt, Chen Ran would use his Eternal Kingdom to shatter the Wheel of Ti. Only then would a violation of Future Lie 1 occur.'
I felt like my head was going to explode!!
It was not until this very mont that I realized the person who truly wanted dead wasn't just Chen Ran—it was also that bastard, Diwu Zeyi.
Because...
As long as I was alive, Long Hui never had to worry about his skill being usurped by Diwu Zeyi.
But if I died...
Long Hui's advantage would completely vanish. Just like Diwu Zeyi and Dorje, he would also fear the Silent Seal skill.
Simply put, the mont I died, Long Hui would never dare to use his skill again.
'What a vicious bastard!'
'Why did my showdown with Chen Ran have to involve so many complex layers?'
Layer after layer.
Link after link.
I felt like my brain was about to go on strike. Even more terrifying was the likelihood that I had just fallen victim to the punishnt of Silent Seal.
There was a high probability that I had lost so piece of Common Sense.
At the sa ti, I still had not retrieved the mories that temporarily vanished due to the Wheel of Ti.
I wanted to recall my skill...
...but I was restricted by Future Lie 3. Since no one was lying, none of us except Qiu Yinong could touch our respective Liar-Slayers.
So that was it...
The rule "cannot touch our respective Liar-Slayers"
...carried three layers of aning:
First: To prevent from casting Judgnt upon Qiu Yinong.
Second: To prevent the liar from acting on any suicidal impulses to take Qiu Yinong down with them.
Third: To prevent us from recalling our skills.
That third layer of aning was a trap, one specifically prepared by Chen Ran for Diwu Zeyi.
At this mont, Diwu Zeyi was like an invincible god of war. With a full five skills under his absolute control, how could anyone possibly fight against that?!
When that shout rang out just now, it seed I was the only one who raised my head. In other words, I was the only one who didn't receive the mories from the other tilines.
It was simply impossible to defend against.
No wonder people always said that details determine success or failure.
I had lost because...
...I failed to make clear and tily deductions regarding the future direction of the situation.
One slow step led to being slow at every turn.
As a result, simply raising my head cost the ga. I had a strong premonition that this single, inconspicuous action would cause to lose everything.
No, wait...
It seed as though from the very beginning, I had never been the one moving the pieces. I was rely a Chess Piece myself.
The next mont, I realized I was looking at Chen Ran. His eyes were closed, and he sat as still as an old monk in deep ditation. However, the fine beads of sweat dripping down his forehead proved that he, too, was enduring imnse tornt. He was engaging in a...
...gamble with life!
A gamble to see who would be the first to suffer a ntal breakdown from Diwu Zeyi's torture...
