Chapter 372: Chapter 284: Clearing the Level_2

"I? Specifically clarified this point?" However, Fei Ye just laughed, "Now you really misunderstood, it seems that you too have been influenced by human emotions... What made you think that I would sacrifice Xiao Yi and selfishly and despicably survive alone?"

"... What did you say?" Mr. Ke’s smile finally... disappeared for the first time.

Mr. Ke’s expression turned ugly, disbelief filled his eyes, "Are you serious? Up to now, you have actively revealed your last card, turning that nearly zero chance of victory into an absolute zero. I will definitely not step into your trap. By establishing rules that repel the Source Rules, what tactics do you have left to win?"

"Do I still need to ask?" Fei Ye said with a smile: "Remember you said you didn’t know what my talent is, right?"

"...!!?" Mr. Ke’s eyes widened, as if he realized something!?

"That’s right!" Fei Ye continued: "Our talents are derived from the Analog Horror system, something you have no right to know! So, it doesn’t matter if I tell you, as long as the Source Rules ensure our victory, that’s enough."

Saying this, Fei Ye revealed the smile of a victor.

"Finally, we are outside of the Ruined City, this ensures our victory!"

Seeing Fei Ye’s victorious smile, Mr. Ke panicked at once.

His human intellect was working hard at this moment! Trying to find a way to counter Fei Ye!

She mentioned outside the Ruined City, what did that mean? Could she use her ability to win once they were outside? What exactly was... outside the Ruined City!? And Fei Ye’s ability, right!

Mr. Ke immediately thought of something! That was Rule Eight!

[Rule Eight: Inside the Ruined City, it is forbidden to use time-stopping, time rewinding, time erasing, time accelerating or any other time-related abilities.]

This rule limited time-related abilities, but that restriction was defined within the Ruined City! And now, they were outside the Ruined City!

That meant Rule Eight, which restricted time-related abilities, did not apply here!

As expected! Was Rule Eight specifically designed to target little miss Fei Ye? And since she said using her ability would secure victory, Mr. Ke pretty much understood what her talent was!

The only way to win now would be to wait for the time to end and proceed to the settlement phase! So, her ability must be to accelerate time!

Mr. Ke thought of this in an instant, and immediately, before Fei Ye could use her ability, set a new rule!

"Rule Fourteen! [Outside the Ruined City, it is also prohibited to use time-stopping, time rewinding, time erasing, time accelerating or any other time-related abilities.]"

Having swiftly set the rule, Mr. Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but then he saw that the smile on Fei Ye’s face did not fade...

"You fell for it..."

"What...!?"

In the next instant, Mr. Ke felt pain as if his very existence was being torn apart! And he also lost the ability to set rules!

Because the rule he set was repelled by the Source Rules.

"What...!? What’s happening!?" Mr. Ke was stunned, but quickly, he figured out what was going on.

Just now, Mr. Ke set a rule that defined the outside of the Ruined City as part of the Ruined City, thus preventing Xiao Yi and his group from passing through.

But now, he set another rule that applied the prohibition of time-related abilities to the outside of the Ruined City, which was already included within the Ruined City.

However, this overlapped with Rule Eight, and overlapping rules are naturally repellant to each other. Worse still, Mr. Ke added the word ’also,’ deepening the logical paradox!

Rules do not allow ambiguous and contradictory logic like "He is a person, he is also a person." Not to mention the logic that outside the Ruined City is also part of the Ruined City is dangerous enough.

Therefore, to resolve the logical paradox, the Source Rules stepped in to abolish the newly added rule, as well as the existence that set the rule, making it unable to set rules any longer!

"Do you know?" At this point, Fei Ye said to Mr. Ke with a smile: "When humans are told they can’t do something, they are more likely to commit that very act, because instinctually they assume they won’t do it again, so they let their guard down. And when humans are pressured, they tend to make rash and irrational decisions. These are human weaknesses, and it’s because of this that I managed to lure you into the trap."

"Hehe... it’s my loss," Mr. Ke smiled helplessly, "I didn’t expect to be played to such a degree. Actually, if I think about it, if your ability was time-related, you could have used it already, there was no need to talk nonsense with me. And I could have just sealed your ability with rules, which would have saved all this trouble."

"That’s right," Fei Ye nodded, "My ability is not a time-related ability, I just needed to seal your rule-making ability to prevent you from sealing mine, that’s why I set this trap."

"That’s truly remarkable," Mr. Ke said in admiration, but then he immediately spoke coldly: "But do you think that without the ability to set rules any longer, you can defeat me?"

"I don’t think so," Fei Ye said: "But as long as I can ensure you don’t interfere with my talent, that’s enough!"

All this time, Fei Ye had been hiding her ability from Mr. Ke, just for this moment!
