Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

The violet beam erupted from the eye without giving Ren Yuanwei time to think!

Ssssh!

The laser struck between his legs, instantly vaporizing a hole into the floor.

“Well? Care to test it?” Bai Lian’s voice dripped with mock sincerity. “Maybe it’s all just an illusion?”

Ren Yuanwei: “...”

Damn it, are you mocking me?!

The dust from the blast still clung to his face—how could this possibly be an illusion?!

“I believe you!” Ren Yuanwei made the only rational choice: between death and trusting Bai Lian, he chose trust.

What else could he do?

Maybe the eye was an illusion. Even that laser might’ve been fake, conjured by Bai Lian’s tricks. But...

Why risk disbelief?

The price of doubt was death. And Ren Yuanwei never gambled with his life over slim odds.

“Truth is, I’ve always believed you!” He forced a laugh, retracting his steel claw weapon—useless against this foe. “Just... testing your reflexes earlier. Lighten up!”

“Knowing when to yield is true wisdom. You’re sharp,” Bai Lian replied, admiration lacing his tone.

See?

Making others believe was simple: wield overwhelming power.

A strongman’s words commanded respect. Endless lies couldn’t match the efficiency of force.

【Huh??? Since when is coercion a valid persuasion tactic?!】

【Threatening belief? So that’s how you turn lies into reality!】

【Should’ve known—Bai Shen doesn’t bother with tricks. He bulldozes truth into existence!】

The stream chat erupted in epiphanies and exasperation.

Meanwhile, Ren Yuanwei bowed like a vassal. “Boss, I’m convinced! This teleportation power—it works on others too, right?”

Having accepted subjugation, he now saw opportunity: unite the prisoners. Use Bai Lian’s might to clear the dungeon together.

“Naturally.” Bai Lian arched a brow, impressed by the man’s quick pivot.

“Then let’s rally the others! Make them believe!” Ren Yuanwei’s eyes glinted. “Unity boosts our survival odds!”

“You’re sharp. I’d already started.” Bai Lian smirked. High-level players are smarter.

Without another word, he turned to the cell wall. The Dead Eye on his forehead pulsed violet.

Zzzap!

Annihilation beams shredded through reinforced steel, piercing multiple walls. Prisoners in adjacent cells jolted awake, weapons raised.

Bai Lian stepped through the smoldering breach. Before the stunned inmate could react, Ren Yuanwei stepped forward, pitching their alliance.

Doubt flashed across the player’s face—until Bai Lian’s beam disintegrated his weapon.

Belief acquired.

One by one, Bai Lian repeated this “friendly negotiation.” Players faced a binary choice:

Trust or die.

Soon, a growing entourage trailed behind him—defeated souls masquerading as allies.

【Are these really veteran players? They’re folding like origami!】

【Bai Shen’s turned a D-rank hellhole into a kindergarten field trip!】

【Another SSS rating incoming. Place your bets!】

As the last prisoner swore allegiance, a chime echoed in their minds:

【Congratulations to player Bai Lian for clearing the D-rank dungeon “Endless Prison”!】

【Clear Time: 10 minutes 30 seconds】

【Completion Rating: SSS】

In his cell, Bai Lian closed the Book of Illusions, a faint smile curling his lips. The final rune glowed on its pages.

“Turning lies to truth...” He chuckled. “Simpler than I thought.”
