Shen MO held the card in his hand and stayed silent for a moment. He gently tossed the black card back onto the table and said indifferently, “I choose to abstain.”
He presented the piece of the puzzle.
A second later, Shen MO disappeared from everyone’s sight.
White card: one used card.
Black card: three cards to choose from and one used card.
The corners of the Inspector’s mouth curved up in a silent smirk.
It was Bai Youwei’s turn.
She did not rush to draw a card but instead looked at Wu Lili and Zhang Qi. “I wanted to take you all out of here, but…” Bai Youwei glanced at the now-vacant seat beside her, “as you can see, there’s been an unexpected turn.
Now, there’s only one white card left. Whoever draws it, lives. As for who is more deserving… I won’t be the judge, you decide.”
Having said this, she picked one from the three remaining black cards, saying, “I choose to take a big risk.”
The black card was flipped:
[Dare to cut open your body and let the blood, rich in water, protein, and inorganic matter, flow out?]
Bai Youwei raised an eyebrow, “Oh…l’m lucky, this is the card I wrote.”
The inspector noted this, his expression was a mix of amusement and intrigue:
“A clever challenge.”
“Yes.” Bai Youwei punctured her finger with the sharp edge of the black card. Bright red droplets of blood seeped out, staining her white dress in a spotty pattern.
“When I wrote this, I remembered what you said. Suddenly, I thought that it would be an intriguing challenge. After all, your present body is unlike a human’s, right? You can’t bleed like us, can you?”
Having said this, she gently sucked on her wound, locking eyes silently with the Inspector.
The Inspector paused for a moment before smiling, “Indeed, I can’t. Lucky that you drew the card.”
Bai Youwei’s black card disappeared.
White card: one used card.
Black cards: two to choose from and one used card.
“How will you choose?” The Inspector looked at Wu Lili with curiosity, “After two straight rounds of black cards, the white card must be chosen. Otherwise, you will need two black cards to offset one white card.”
Wu Lili’s eyes were bloodshot, her expression filled with utter despair.
The Inspector admired her current state, asking, “What will you choose? Will you willingly sacrifice yourself by choosing two black cards, thereby giving your companions a chance to live? Or, will you choose the white card and leave all black cards for your companions?”
Wu Lili, in agony, held her head, not daring to look at Zhang Qi’s face.
She doesn’t want to die!
But she also doesn’t want to watch her friend die!
“Lili, choose the white card.”
Zhang Qi’s voice was calm and steady, devoid of any ripples.
“We’re not that familiar anyway. We coincidentally lived together on this island for two months but we’re barely even friends… So, there’s really no need.”
Wu Lili’s vision was blurred, tears fell freely down her cheeks.
… Are we really not friends?
If we weren’t friends, why would she pressure her to answer Bai Youwei’s questions
If we weren’t friends, why didn’t she expose her for faking an injury?
Are we… really not friends?
“Have you made your decision?” The Inspector asked, “Truth or Dare?”
“Lili, choose the white card.” Zhang Qi’s voice lowered, “Even if you choose two black cards this round, if he draws the remaining black card, we still won’t survive.”
The final black card: Dare to kill all other players on the field?
Wu Lili lowered her head, her finger trembling as she slowly reached out to place it on the table… Truth or Dare?
Her finger finally touched the only remaining white card with the remaining riddle that Zhu Xiaofen couldn’t answer— [Truth: Have you ever harmed anyone?]
“I’m sorry, Zhang Qi..
Wu Lili lowered her head, hot tears burning her cheeks.
“I’m sorry! I hurt you! It was because of me! I’m really sorry!!!”
The white card turned to dust, Wu Lili couldn’t hold back any longer, she wailed in despair..
