“Oh?” The Inspector was no longer surprised by her unconventional behavior, his gaze briefly drifted over her face, “If it’s something important, we might as well… lend our ears, right?”
Bai Youwei: “Whether you listen or not doesn’t matter, but it would be better if they all listened.”
The Inspector, wearing an emotionless smile, gestured for her to continue.
“Zhang Qi, Wu Lili, and you… what’s your name again?” asked Bai Youwei to the slender woman sitting next to her.
The woman replied timidly: “… My name is Zhu Xiaofen.”
Bai Youwei nodded indifferently, “Alright then, Zhang Qi, Wu Lili, and Zhu Xiaofen, listen to me. We only get one chance to clear this round. We must each choose ‘Truth’ to use up all the white cards, forcing it to pick a black card in the next round. Do you understand what I mean?”
All three of them nodded.
“Good, if you understand, I’ll continue.” Bai Youwei continued, “I don’t know what you’ve written on the black cards. But in any case, if you do as I said, there is an 83% chance that we will survive and leave this place, and all five of us will make it. But if—”
Her voice took a cold turn, “If anyone fails to follow my instructions, this strategy will likely fail. So if anyone ends up dead, don’t blame me. Blame the person who couldn’t cooperate~”
Zhang Qi spoke up, “I wrote exactly as instructed!”
Wu Lili quickly added, “I… I did too. I wrote it exactly as requested!”
Zhu Xiaofen: “… I did too.’
“Honestly, I don’t quite trust you, but it doesn’t matter.” Bai Youwei said indifferently, “Now, let me explain the steps in detail.
There are two critical points in the game. The first is the order. The Inspector is first, and he will certainly choose ‘Truth’ to expend the white cards.
The second is the rule that a black card must be chosen after two rounds of white cards. My brother will take a black card once, leaving five white cards, which are exactly enough for the four of us.”
Zhang Qi blurted out, “But doesn’t that mean your brother will die?”
“My brother has a way to survive, you don’t need to worry about that.” Bai Youwei did not explain about the puzzle piece and said lightly, “After my brother takes a black card, I’ll take a white card, Zhu Xiaofen will take a white card. By the game rules, after two rounds of white cards, a black card must be chosen unless two white cards are burnt. So, Wu Lili will use two white cards, and the last white one will be used by Zhang Qi, using them all up—”
After finishing her explanation in one breath, she let out a sigh, “I’ve explained in such detail, if anyone still doesn’t understand, I really can’t do anything.”
“Um…” Zhu Xiaofen asked with trepidation, “You said earlier that the Inspector has an 83% chance to draw, but what about the remaining 17%? What if… if it doesn’t draw… what should we do…?”
Bai Youwei asked her, dumbfounded: “Do you think playing Truth or Dare is about probability?”
Zhu Xiaofen looked blank.
Bai Youwei: “The point of Truth or Dare is to see who has more courage! If you are afraid to take even a 17% risk, then why bother playing Truth or Dare? Why don’t you just stay here and be its friend- I’
Bai Youwei couldn’t be bothered to say more, she yawned lazily and said to the
Inspector, “Alright, I’ve said all I need to say, we can start the game now.”
The Inspector examined everyone quite interestingly, and at last, his gaze fell on Bai Youwei’s face, he smiled and said, “Your method could work, but… I don’t trust these people to write exactly as you instruct. But you’re correct, the game of Truth or Dare is all about courage. So, I’ll bet with you too, I’m betting that… due to fear, doubt, selfishness, and ignorance, they will not follow your instructions.”
Bai Youwei sneered: “If they won’t follow then so be it, either way, I’ve written it. You will draw it..”
