Shen Mo tapped Bai Youwei on the forehead. "Don't be silly."
The Overseer silently adjusted its emotional, psychological, and micro-expression data, reminding itself to stay calm and not fall for her tricks.
Bai Youwei, finished interacting with Shen Mo, noticed the Overseer's lack of reaction and was surprised. "Huh? Why aren't you angry? Actually, I was afraid you'd hit me, so I deliberately said that to my brother. So, Overseers really can't just attack players?"
The Overseer: "…"
Really…
Unbearable. This game needs to end quickly!
"Please select your cards, players!" It said coldly, its patience exhausted.
Zhang Qi's gaze fell flatly on the table.
White cards: 2 remaining.
Black cards: 5 remaining.
Just as the Overseer had said, five black cards, five bombs, almost certain death.
But if he could eliminate this monster… he felt it would be worth it!
Zhang Qi calmly picked up a black card and flipped it over with force!
The black card landed on the table with a slap—
[Dare: Do you dare to sing a song?]
Zhang Qi: "…"
Bai Youwei: "…"
Shen Mo: "…"
Wu Lili cried tears of joy. "That's great! Zhang Qi, you don't have to die!"
The outcome was so different from what he expected that Zhang Qi was momentarily stunned. After a long pause, he turned to Wu Lili, his face bewildered. "Did… did you write this?"
Wu Lili nodded tearfully. "I was afraid I would draw it… so…"
Zhang Qi's expression shifted repeatedly. He wanted to blame Wu Lili for her recklessness, but the fact that he drew this card meant she had saved him. Words of gratitude wouldn't come, nor would words of blame. A whirlwind of emotions churned within him.
He gritted his teeth and finally muttered, "So stupid."
Wu Lili continued to sob.
The Overseer asked, "So, what song are you going to sing? I can have my friends play the music for you."
The friends it referred to were, of course, the lifeless dolls.
"No need," Zhang Qi said after a moment of thought. "I'll sing that one… I don't know the name. It's a song my wife often sings."
Everyone fell silent, listening to him sing.
…
His voice wasn't particularly melodious, his pitch was a little off, and he didn't remember all the lyrics, but he sang earnestly:
"…The universe, vast and indifferent,
Our love, tiny yet sparkling,
A bumpy ride, yet so selfless,
Fate brought us together beyond the chaos,
Destiny made us fall in love amidst peril,
Perhaps the future lies light-years away,
I will wait for you in the unknown…"
…
When the song ended, the black card in Zhang Qi's hand crumbled into dust. His eyes reddened slightly, and he lowered his head, not wanting the others to see.
On the table—
White cards: 2 remaining.
Black cards: 4 remaining.
"Is it my turn?" The Overseer chuckled. "My choice is, of course… Truth."
The white card Zhu Xiaofen left behind was face up. Only after all the other white cards were eliminated could a player choose a card previously used.
The Overseer flipped over the unchosen white card:
[Truth: Do you like the doll game?]
"Ah��� this is the one I wrote," the Overseer said with a smile. "Of course I do. Every game is a cherished creation of the Overseer. I love them very much."
The white card instantly turned to dust.
Next was Shen Mo.
"I choose Dare." Without hesitation, Shen Mo calmly flipped over one of the four black cards.
[Dare: Do you dare to kill all the players on the field except yourself?]
Shen Mo smiled faintly.
Just as Bai Youwei had guessed.
So, whether they were from West Mountain Island or sent by Uncle Zhao, none survived. Even if they picked the most beautiful flower and found the right teammates, they were still destined to die in this game of Truth or Dare.
