He paused for two seconds after saying this, then continued, "Oh, as for your inquiry..." He looked at Honghu and said, "Obviously, we decline to answer."

As he made this announcement, an inquiry card on the table automatically flipped over, moving in front of Honghu. The front of this card also bore the word "Exemption."

At this moment, it was Qiufeng's turn.

"Let me think..." Qiufeng said.

Ji Chang reminded him from the other end of the table, "In this round, it's best to choose 'Inquire' and draw an exemption card as a safety net."

Honghu agreed with Ji Chang's view, adding, "That's right. We currently know very little information. Speculation is unsafe, and presumption is likely to result in punishment."

At this time, Moriarty spoke, "Let me clarify. In terms of intensity, the punishment for Suggestion is between mild and moderate. If Inquiry and Speculation are punished, the damage will be from moderate to severe. But the punishment for Presumption is between severe and fatal."

"According to conventional strategy," Holmes added, "those who are uninformed should choose Inquiry in the second round after entering the game with Suggestion, in order to obtain exemption. In the third round, they should try Presumption. Even if Presumption is wrong, they can use the exemption right to offset the punishment." He took another puff of his pipe, "Hoo... of course, if you are confident in your ability to Speculate, you can also choose Speculation in the third round. But if your Speculation is completely unrelated to the truth, then the exemption right will be consumed by Speculation... By the fourth round, you will have to make a Presumption without any insurance measures."

"Hey... we're opponents," Qiufeng said. "What do you mean by analyzing so diligently for us, you two?"

"What I'm saying is just the most basic strategy," Holmes replied. "I believe that any of you, after a little thought, would come up with the same sequence—Suggestion, Inquiry, Presumption, Speculation—to deal with the first four rounds."

"If you think the good-faith reminders given by Holmes and me are misleading, you don't have to follow what we say," Moriarty said.

"They're right," Ji Chang turned to Qiufeng and said. "Surviving to the fifth round is our primary goal. And Mr. Holmes's proposed strategy is the most correct and safest."

Honghu interjected, "They are just stating a strategy that we could have thought of and are very likely to implement anyway. It's not much of a help." He pushed up his glasses. "If you go against it out of a rebellious mentality, you will fall into their trap."

After hearing this, Qiufeng thought for a moment and then said, "Inquire..." He looked at the Professor and Holmes. "Besides the death of all the uninformed and solving the laws of this space, are there any other ways to end this game?"

The two Bosses looked at each other. This time, they chose to answer.

Holmes laughed. "Yes, you can try to kill the Professor."

Moriarty continued, "If you can kill me, this game, this room, will disappear."

Their answers ended, and an inquiry card on the table moved in front of Qiufeng.

Qiufeng took a deep breath and flipped the card over, only to find that the front was blank.

"You should have more confidence in yourself, young man," Moriarty said. "That was a good question."

Qiufeng sighed. "Seeing you two so confident, I naturally guessed something..." He looked at his teammates. "Obviously, with our strength, we can't kill the Professor at all. But if we deduce the laws of this space, we have a chance to do it..."

Honghu continued, "But... since we have already deduced the laws of space, there is no need to risk fighting. We can directly say it in the form of 'Presumption' and win the game."

"We can't rule out... that among the four of us, someone clearly knows the truth, but doesn't make a Presumption, and insists on putting the Professor to death." Feng Bujue suddenly opened his mouth.

In that instant, all three teammates cast meaningful glances at him.

"What?" Feng Bujue leaned back in his chair, spreading his hands.

"Brother Feng, I think only you would do such a thing..." Ji Chang said.

Qiufeng and Honghu also nodded in agreement.

"Then let's not play. I'll try killing him first." As Feng Bujue spoke, he actually took something out of his knapsack.

"What!" The other three were shocked when they saw Feng Bujue reach into his knapsack.

Because their three knapsacks had returned to their sealed state after arriving in this room. Logically speaking, everyone was a player, and there was no reason for Feng Bujue to be an exception.

But they saw Feng Bujue holding up the anti-gravity catapult and taking out that Nokia phone from his pocket as ammunition, aiming at Professor Moriarty: "Any last words? Professor."

"Hahahaha..." Holmes laughed beside him, putting down his pipe and applauding for Feng Bujue.

Moriarty remained calm, sitting at the table unmoved, and asked quietly, "Unbelievable... only halfway through the second round, and you've already completed the deduction."

"If the opponent is too weak or too strong, it will deprive the game of its fun, isn't it?" Feng Bujue smiled.

"What exactly is going on?" Honghu said. "Brother Feng... what exactly are you..."

"The laws of this space are..." Feng Bujue confidently continued, "Believing is seeing."

"Holy crap... how did you figure that out..." This time, Qiufeng completely failed to keep up with Brother Jue's train of thought.

Feng Bujue temporarily put down the catapult and said, "First, recall the most basic hint... Language is a power." He tapped his temples lightly with his fingers. "Do you remember those five messages?"

Without waiting for his teammates to respond, Feng Bujue continued, "These messages are not comments after the fact, but the reason why things happened."

"So... those things we saw while climbing the stairs..." Honghu was the first to react.

Ji Chang continued, "The messages came first, and the events happened later..."

"When we jumped into the waterfall on the sixth floor, those five sentences became part of our 'memory'," Feng Bujue continued. "So, some of our experiences in the memory space matched the messages."

Brother Jue's gaze swept over his teammates. "If I'm not mistaken, the matches, top hat, broom, and apple you were carrying were all used up in the memory space to solve puzzles or advance the plot, right?"

The three nodded slightly. They had indeed used up all the plot items in their respective memory spaces.

"These items have two things in common. First, they were all obtained inside the 'Testing Tower'; second, they were all used up for various reasons before we entered this room. Heh... this can't help but give me a hypothesis. Is there someone who doesn't want us to bring these things in here?" As Feng Bujue spoke, he pointed to the phone suspended in front of the catapult. "You see, the phone, knife, notebook, etc. that I got outside the Testing Tower... have all been brought in."

"This is the final room. Isn't it normal for those 'plot items' to be consumed before arriving here?" Ji Chang said. "And Brother Feng's knives, notebooks, etc., are all 'tools' and 'equipment' that can be taken out of the script, not necessities for advancing the plot."

"Yes, that explanation seems plausible, but..." Feng Bujue sneered. "The Professor said something to me earlier that I cared about very much. He said... 'This is not my personal mental world, but a space composed of collective will.' Combining it with the current situation, I understand that the main purpose of that episode in the memory space was to make us consume those things that shouldn't be brought in."

"Why?" Qiufeng asked.

"Because those items are 'creations' of other wills. Their appearance here would have some kind of influence on the Professor." Honghu replied thoughtfully, barely keeping up with Brother Jue's train of thought.

Feng Bujue laughed. "Professor, you don't deny that, do you?"

"That's right, those items can pose a certain threat to me. Of course, provided you know how to use them." Moriarty generously admitted.

"Hmph... anyway, the things are gone now, so it doesn't matter, right." Qiufeng snorted coldly.

"Let's talk about the situation after the start of this Round Table Game." Feng Bujue continued. "The four of us entered the game according to the rules and were all injured by the power of 'language.' There's not much to say about that. Then, when it came to the Professor's turn, he immediately revealed a flaw."

"What did you say?" Moriarty's tone changed slightly as he frowned and asked.

"No, no, no, what I say doesn't matter. The key is what you said." Feng Bujue repeated. "Suggestion—[There are no lies in this world. ]"

As soon as he said this, Holmes's hand holding the pipe trembled slightly. He said in a deep voice, "Hmph... it seems the Professor's suggestion was too obvious."

Moriarty said, "Did you guess the truth after hearing that sentence?"

"I had a presumption, but I wasn't sure." Feng Bujue shrugged and sighed. "Hey... your suggestion wasn't punished, which means that the suggestion was meaningful. Since you gave me a meaningful piece of information, I have to dig something out of it to be worthy of you."

Qiufeng continued, "Believing is seeing, which means... as long as you mentally believe that something is true, it will become true."

Ji Chang also said, "So 'there are no lies in this world' is likely to be true."

Combining it with Feng Bujue's conclusion, these two naturally understood the deduction process.

"What brought me closer to the truth was Mr. Holmes's presumption." Feng Bujue continued, "He said... 'Professor Moriarty is an idiot'." He smiled. "I tried to think about it from another angle... as a knowledgeable person, when [Presuming], one would naturally not say a correct conclusion related to the truth, because that would be equivalent to admitting defeat. Therefore, Mr. Holmes would definitely say a presumption that was unrelated to the truth."

In fact, he could have completely said something like 'the sky is blue' or 'the snow is white' and accepted the punishment. But he didn't... just as you, Professor, said, Mr. Holmes is 'extremely arrogant, casual, and unrestrained'."

So he said, 'Professor Moriarty is an idiot'."

Heh... this is interesting. Why didn't he say 'giraffes breathe fire' or 'pigs fly in the sky'? Because he knew... if he said such things, there was a certain chance that these things would become reality."

Feng Bujue stretched out a hand and pointed to the surroundings. "You two are very clear about the laws of this space and have long been accustomed to manipulating these laws. You only need to convince your brain to believe that something is true, and that thing will become true. Just now, as long as Mr. Holmes let himself 'believe' that the bomb would not cause him any damage, he would be unscathed."

"This kind of self-hypnosis can become proficient through training, and it's not difficult for you." Brother Jue tilted his head and said to the Professor, "As for 'Professor Moriarty is an idiot,' it's a sentence that Mr. Holmes could never convince himself to believe, so he said it with a playful attitude."

Your "nice try" and his "it doesn't cost anything to try" made me understand as soon as I heard them. His behavior seemed to be trying to turn you into an idiot with language. And when he failed, the two of you said these two sentences half-jokingly.

At this point, I have basically confirmed the truth."

"Then why didn't you choose Presumption directly in your turn?" Holmes asked.

"It's not safe," Feng Bujue replied. "What if I was wrong?" He waved his fingers. "At that time, all I needed was more time to verify my conclusion, so I chose to Inquire first and asked a foolproof question."

"When you launched the Inquiry, I hadn't fully explained the rules of the Inquiry yet. You were able to ask such a question. It can be described as exquisite and precise." Moriarty commented.

"You flatter me," Feng Bujue replied. "In short... I am very clear that verifying my conclusion does not necessarily have to be done through rounds in the Round Table Game. I can complete it while sitting in my seat."

Honghu looked at Feng Bujue with an incredible gaze. "In such a short period of time, you mastered a way to manipulate the laws without using 'language'?"

"It's indeed difficult, but it's not impossible," Feng Bujue said. "I silently gave myself a mental suggestion, telling myself... I have two tongues."

"Huh?"

Including Moriarty, the expressions of everyone at the table changed drastically.

"The result was successful." As Feng Bujue spoke, he opened his mouth wide. Another identical tongue stretched out from under his original tongue. "This way, I completely confirmed the truth—as long as I convince myself that something is 'real', it will come true."

"Uh... I say..." Qiufeng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you use 'my face is intact' to experiment..."

"Wouldn't that expose it?" Feng Bujue retorted.

"Ha..." Moriarty sneered. "Therefore, after confirming that killing us can also end the game, you had the intention to kill? Heh... frankly, isn't this a bit unwise?" He glanced at Ji Chang beside him. "Wouldn't it be easier for your companion to just say the truth with [Presumption]?"

"Fuu—" Holmes also smoked his pipe, "You can take items out of the dimensional pocket, which is indeed commendable, but do you really want to fight us?" His tone was still calm. "For us, rewriting the reality here with 'thinking' and 'language' is commonplace. It only takes a few seconds for me to convince myself that 'Feng Bujue is a stone' or 'Feng Bujue is crushed into minced meat'." He pointed to Brother Jue. "And you, convincing yourself that 'my dimensional pocket can be used' has already taken a lot of time, right? How can you win against us?"

"Brother Feng... it seems they're offering good advice," Ji Chang said.

"They're just pretending to be calm. Hmph... as long as I firmly believe that 'Feng Bujue will not die', nothing will happen." Feng Bujue laughed. "When the 'reality' that others believe in contradicts the 'reality' that I believe in, this is a simple contest of willpower."

"Brother Feng... why bother..." Honghu was also very confused. At this moment, as long as Ji Chang said the Presumption, the game would be won. Why was Feng Bujue still obsessed with turning against the two Bosses?

"Don't you understand?" Feng Bujue interrupted. "This place is just a mental world. That's why language and thinking are so powerful here, even having the power to reverse the order." The gash on his face healed at this time, and his tongue returned to one. "In reality, our bodies must already be in the 'Deduction Club', but our spirits are imprisoned in this so-called 'Testing Tower'."

The Boss side couldn't hear what Feng Bujue said next, "I'll just ask you all one question... do you want to clear the level quickly, or do you want to come with me to see the truth of this script?"

Honghu, Qiufeng, and Ji Chang looked at each other.

As professional players, they sometimes need to make trade-offs between fun and efficiency. And the three of them also had something similar to Brother Jue in their bones, which was a near-morbid curiosity...

"Okay, let's do it according to your idea," Honghu said.

Ji Chang also said, "I'll risk my life with the madman."

Qiufeng was still lying on the chair: "I'm trying to convince myself that 'there is no wound on my chest', so I can't stop you."

"Heh..." Feng Bujue smiled. He raised the [Anti-Gravity Catapult] again, aiming the Nokia shell at Moriarty. "Professor, I regret to tell you. No matter in which dimension, no matter under what laws of physics, no matter in which creature's cognition... being hit by this thing is a sure death!"

Whoosh—

The phone flew out whistling under the action of the catapult. Professor Moriarty looked at the black shadow heading towards his face with a look of astonishment...

Almost at the same time as the attack took effect, system prompts sounded one after another: [Current mission has been changed, main mission has been updated]

[Worldview has been cracked, player: Feng Bujue, rewarded with 2700 skill points, the team can view the world rules of this script in the extended options of the mission menu]

[Hidden plot process has been entered.]

In the task bar, [Defeat Holmes and Moriarty in the "Round Table Game"] was crossed out, and a new task appeared below: [Defeat the real 'Boss' or escape the Deduction Club.]
