The Eighteen Levels of Hell: Lying is Forbidden Here

'With the Meng Hexagram, naturally, the mountain is in the front and the water is in the back, but that is not the main point.'

'The main point is, why would a Child appear here?'

'Under normal circumstances, NPCs appear in the third Secret Room. Of course, to accommodate certain plotlines, an NPC might appear in the second Secret Room, but I have never encountered a situation where one appears in the First Dungeon Chamber.'

'Moreover, the Three-Star Trickster-Speaker just said that an NPC "might" appear.'

'Logically speaking, lying does not exist in a puzzle-solving Secret Room, yet he used words synonymous with the Avoidance of Lying when warning us.'

'Is it possible that he was reminding us that the Child is not an NPC?'

'This is only a One-Star Instance. From a deductive standpoint, it involves complex metaphysics like the I Ching. Very few people dabbled in the I Ching while alive, and even if someone had read it, without in-depth research, they would never remember the names, meanings, and Hexagram Lines of the Sixty-Four Hexagrams.'

'Assuming none of the twenty matched Players understand the I Ching, wouldn't that mean the mortality rate of this Instance is far, far higher than "Lonely Revenge"?'

'In that case, the most difficult One-Star Instance would not be "Lonely Revenge."'
