Two decks of cards, one white and one black.
The white cards had “Truth” written on the back.
The black cards had “Dare” written on the back.
Without guessing, just by looking at these words, they knew this game was—Truth or Dare.
This was indeed a party game popular among friends.
But would Truth or Dare in the Doll Game be the same as in the real world?
The five people stared at the cards with various expressions. Some were thoughtful, some were anxious and uneasy, some were silently praying, some couldn’t stop crying…
The Inspector took in everyone’s expressions.
“I assume everyone has played this before?” It smiled at the five people. “So I won’t explain the rules in detail…”
“You should still explain.” Bai Youwei slowly raised her hand. “I haven’t played it.”
The Inspector raised an eyebrow at her. It knew this player was especially troublesome.
Bai Youwei blinked her eyes with an innocent expression: “I really haven’t played it, because I have no friends—no chance to play this kind of game.”
“…Oh, don’t be sad, Miss.” The Inspector’s smile turned slightly cold. “The Friends’ Party welcomes you. As long as you stay, we’ll be friends forever.”
She gave a delicate snort. “Forget it. I have no interest in this outdated game.”
Inspector: “…”
Shen Mo held Bai Youwei’s hand, signaling her not to speak recklessly anymore, and said to the Inspector: “Please explain the game rules.”
The Inspector’s gaze swept over these two people’s faces. He smiled coldly, then pushed the black and white decks toward everyone—
“Here are a total of twelve cards—six white cards and six black cards. Each participant will receive one white and one black card. We need to write Truth questions on the white cards, and correspondingly, write Dare challenges on the black cards. After that, we can begin the game.”
It picked up one white card and one black card with its two hands, then continued:
“Starting from me as the beginning point, we’ll proceed clockwise through the game. You can choose either Truth or Dare, but you need to note one thing—
After two consecutive rounds of Truth, the person in the third round must choose a black Dare card, otherwise they must offset one Dare challenge with two Truth questions.
Similarly, after two rounds of Dare, the next person must choose a white Truth card, otherwise they must offset one Truth question with two Dare challenges.
When all twelve cards are completely consumed, the game ends.”
After the rules explanation finished, everyone had a pen in their hands.
The Inspector also had one.
It spun the pen in its hand and smiled: “Friends, let’s start writing questions now.”
Bai Youwei spun her pen even faster than it, looking left and right, asking: “Can we write anything?”
The Inspector said: “You can write anything, but I must remind you all—if you cannot answer a Truth question or cannot complete a Dare requirement, you will be eliminated on the spot.”
Bai Youwei: “What if we complete everything?”
Inspector: “That card is consumed, and the game continues.”
Bai Youwei: “What if there are no cards left?”
Inspector: “The game ends.”
Bai Youwei: “I don’t believe it.”
Inspector: “…”
Bai Youwei stopped looking at it. She raised her hand and lightly tapped the table twice, then swept her gaze around with a half-smile, saying:
“Listen up. It’s not that I look down on people, but certain people should know deep down what kind of trash they are. So I’ll just speak plainly.
In the first round, eight of us were eliminated. In the second round, five of us were eliminated. Do you think in this final round it will easily let us go? If you want to end the game, do as I say. On every black Dare card, write—
Kill this game’s Inspector.”
