The two women at the table turned pale first.
Wu Lili exclaimed in alarm: “But! People who can’t complete the Dare will be eliminated!”
How could they possibly kill the Inspector?!
“Are you genuinely stupid or playing dumb?” Bai Youwei impatiently rolled her eyes. “Obviously writing this is to eliminate the Inspector! We have five people. As long as all five cards say this, it has an 83% probability of drawing one. As long as it can’t do it, it’ll be immediately eliminated. Or if it’s ruthless enough and eliminates itself, without an Inspector the game will naturally end. Understand?”
Wu Lili shook her head in panic. “No, no, no… we can’t do this! It’s too risky! What if it doesn’t draw one and we draw it instead? I think we shouldn’t write anything too extreme, right? Um… just write something random, like do some push-ups or run a few laps. As long as we can consume all the cards in the end, won’t the game end? Why must we take this risk?”
Bai Youwei held her head, complaining: “Playing games with this kind of person is simply torture. Inspector, when you design games in the future, could you please pay a little attention to user experience and at least match players with similar capabilities?”
Inspector: “…”
It said: “The game’s existence is not to cater to your experience.”
Its tone was inexplicably somewhat resentful.
Bai Youwei casually asked back: “Then what is it for?”
The Inspector coldly closed its mouth, refusing to be drawn into revealing more.
Shen Mo explained to Wu Lili: “Trying to end the game by consuming cards—this method won’t work, because besides the five black cards we write, there’s a sixth black card written by the Inspector. It will definitely be a task we can’t complete.”
Wu Lili said: “But that’s only one card. We might not draw it, right?”
“Can you shut up?” Zhang Qi couldn’t stand it anymore. “Don’t you understand what they mean? As long as the Inspector’s black card isn’t consumed, the game will continue indefinitely! You’ll draw it sooner or later!”
Wu Lili still refused to give up: “Maybe it will draw it itself? As long as it draws its own card, wouldn’t that be fine?”
Zhang Qi was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
But Bai Youwei laughed.
“If…” She narrowed her eyes slightly, smiling faintly as she said, “It writes ‘Kill all other players’ on that black card, then even if it draws it itself, wouldn’t the result be the same?”
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
If drawn by a player, the player would be eliminated for not being able to complete it.
If drawn by the Inspector, killing all other players would be effortless.
This was a dead end.
Unless they could eliminate the Inspector before drawing that card, otherwise, no matter what, it would end in death!
Zhang Qi gritted his teeth hard, grabbed his pen and said: “I trust you! Kill the Inspector!”
After speaking, he quickly began writing on his black card.
Wu Lili and the Number Two woman who had exploded words in the previous game hesitated for a while, then also picked up their pens and silently began writing.
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo quickly finished writing as well.
Next, they had to write the white Truth cards.
After all, this was a life-or-death situation. Everyone had no interest in prying into others’ secrets, so they all wrote some mild, harmless questions.
On the contrary, Bai Youwei thought for a very long time before slowly beginning to write.
After all questions were written, the twelve cards returned to the center of the dining table, shuffled randomly, then separated into white and black cards on two sides, face down with the backs facing up.
The Inspector sat at the table, hands clasped, smiling as it watched them: “So, shall we begin now?”
“Can we wait a moment?” Bai Youwei said. “Before we start, I have some things I’d like to say in advance.”
