The Eighteen Levels of Hell: Lying is Forbidden Here Chapter 226: Darkness Under the Lamp

Last words?

Tong Fei's thoughts were myriad. Recalling all sorts of things from when she was alive, she looked at Chen Ran and asked: "Have you ever heard of the Theory of No Gratitude?"

Chen Ran nodded: "Kong Rong was precisely discussing this, and his vulnerability was grasped by Cao Cao to have him executed."

Tong Fei smiled bitterly:

"If parents only give birth but do not raise, to the Child it is without any kindness."

"If parents do not give birth but do raise, to the Child it is an imnse kindness."

"They adopted , which to was an imnse kindness."

"But, they gave birth to a younger brother, yet did not properly teach and raise him. This is their problem."

"Since there is no kindness, why did they still give birth to a younger brother and snatch away everything that originally belonged to ? I don't understand."

Chen Ran was startled and looked her up and down: "So you killed them?"

"No, I killed my younger brother, sliced him into pieces, made him into food, and served it to them."

Chen Ran silently took a puff of his Cigarette, looking at the calm-faced Tong Fei: "Although I don't know what happened to you, there's one thing I must tell you. The so-called Theory of No Gratitude only beca hotly debated in those few years before we died. There's a high probability of Western involvent, disintegrating and collapsing the bonds of the entire social relationship from the inside by exaggerating family conflicts. Actually, Kong Rong's Theory of No Gratitude was standing from the perspective that he was a parent, humbly saying that he had no kindness to his children."

"Of course, if the family that adopted you did sothing heinous to you, then treat it as if I didn't say anything."

Tong Fei did not continue speaking. Perhaps she was already out of the mood to explain, or perhaps she also realized that her thoughts had been hypnotized before.

Seeing this, Chen Ran no longer hesitated.

"You lied."

A gunshot rang out. Tong Fei fell into a pool of blood, but very quickly, Tong Fei appeared again.

The three in the Secret Room also lost the mory of Tong Fei's death.

Chen Ran picked up an ordinary Pistol, ejected the magazine, counted the Bullets inside, confird the quantity, and waited for a while.

Loaded the magazine and raised his hand to fire a shot.

Killing NPC Tong Fei.

Tong Fei appeared intact in the Secret Room again. Chen Ran again ejected the magazine, and found the quantity inside was short by one. Only then did he confirm that player Tong Fei had already been killed by him.

Turning his head to look at Diwu Zeyi, the latter was willing to admit defeat and signaled for him to ask a question.

"Previously, my question perhaps wasn't very accurate. This ti I want to ask, in the 18th Level, is there a kind of collective existence that can develop into an organization?"

Previously Chen Ran had asked him whether there were any other organizations in the 18th Level besides the two alliances. But the 9th True Self Player had ntioned that there were also special existences in the 18th Level.

Therefore, he felt that the question raised previously might not have been very precise.

Diwu Zeyi pondered for a mont, and suddenly gave Chen Ran a thumbs up.

"Have you read 'Disorganized Mob'?"

"I've read it."

"What made the deepest impression?"

"Of course it's: Once an individual rges into a collective, the individual's IQ will decrease."

"Since you understand this principle, you should understand..."

Chen Ran froze in place.

'Diwu Zeyi didn't continue speaking.'

'Two situations.'

'One: He definitely didn't answer my question. Acting Shaless?'

'Two: He answered, but a situation of soone dying happened to occur, so I lost the mory of his answer.'

'Crap!'

Diwu Zeyi smiled indifferently: "Since you made a bet with just now, then now I'll make a bet with you."

"Bet on what?" Chen Ran asked.

"We'll bet on whether I answered your question just now or not. The rules are the sa as the rules when you proposed the stake just now."

Bang, gunshot.

Chen Ran looked at Diwu Zeyi, smilingly saying: "Continue."

Bang, gunshot.

Diwu Zeyi looked at Chen Ran: "Do you want to make a bet?"

Bang, gunshot.

Chen Ran: "The Bullets in my Gun aren't many left. Do you want to continue speaking?"

Diwu Zeyi: "..."

Very obviously, these two old foxes were utilizing the two NPCs to exploit a BUG here.

But, they both underestimated the degree to which they were each Shaless. Chen Ran saying the Bullets in his Gun weren't many left was telling Diwu Zeyi: We have lost a lot of mories.

In other words, up to now, both could not be certain whether they had respectively answered/heard the answer to the question.

One had to say, Chen Ran's Shalessness once again refreshed Diwu Zeyi's cognition, and at the sa ti, Diwu Zeyi's Shalessness also once again refreshed Chen Ran's cognition.

Both of them knew that this puzzle-solving couldn't be dragged on any longer. After thinking for a bit, Diwu Zeyi said: "Since you understand this principle, you should understand that at each Star Rating, players stuck at their Star Rating can be regarded as a collective."

"Their IQ will decrease, and they can be subjected to a dinsionality reduction strike from an ideological standpoint."

"In other words, at each Star Rating, players stuck at their Star Rating all have the potential to develop into organizations, but with the existence of Heart Cultivation, it's highly unlikely they would truly develop into an organization."

"To be precise, they need a fuse to develop into an organization."

Hearing this, Chen Ran froze in place.

'Yes, stuck at Star Rating!'

'For instance, stuck at Two-Star, these players don't have Heart Cultivation. It's very easy to be ideologically subjected to a dinsionality reduction strike by players with high ntal States.'

'By the sa logic, even a Three-Star is only at the First Realm of Lingtai. They can similarly be subjected to an ideological dinsionality reduction strike by players at the Second Realm of Lingtai, and so on.'

'But, with Heart Cultivation existing, a spirit of collectivism won't appear, unless...'

'In the 18th Level, a fuse appears that can make them unite.'

'The Stone Pillar?!!!'

'Listening to his aning, it seems although there are no organizations in the 18th Level, there are ideological dinsionality reduction strikes. Put simply...'

'There must definitely be one or several people carrying out an ideological dinsionality reduction strike on players stuck at Two-Star.'

'These players stuck at their Star Ratings haven't been exterminated, which explains that the person carrying out the dinsionality reduction strike knows how to circumvent the alliance's sanctions.'

'As long as I disguise myself as a player stuck at Two-Star and contact them, maybe I can crack the predicant I'm facing now.'

'Only, how to contact them?'

'It's her! i Zhixu!'

'Where are the people, how much does the spring intent know.'

Chen Ran couldn't help but recall that when he just ca to the 18th Level, i Zhixu had said that as long as he was willing, he could join her team at any ti.

'Could it be...'

'At that ti, she had already obscurely told how to crack it, right?'

'Holy shit!'

'She must have definitely seen many players forced into a dead end by the alliance, which is why she said such words to ?'

'A bit mysterious.'

'Where venomous snakes reside, there must be an antidote within seven steps. The ancients truly didn't deceive .'

'No wonder she found two Two-Star Players with so substance this ti. I guess she was probing my specific value.'

Chen Ran wanted to laugh. He discovered that he had ignored the point of Darkness Under the Lamp from the very beginning.

"How long do you still have to think? If we go on like this, maybe our bodies at the station will drink ng Po's Soup."

Chen Ran returned to his senses, thanked him, and then looked at the teorite in the middle of the Secret Room.

"Your marksmanship is fast, you take charge of keeping an eye on these two NPCs. I will go destroy the teorite."
