“Oh?” The Inspector was no longer surprised by her unconventional behavior. Its gaze lightly floated on her face. “If it’s something very important, we might as well… hear you out?”
Bai Youwei: “Whether you listen doesn’t matter, but they’d better all hear this.”
The Inspector smiled without warmth and made a “please” gesture.
“Zhang Qi, Wu Lili, and you… what’s your name again?” Bai Youwei asked the thin, small woman sitting beside her.
The other person timidly answered: “…I’m called Zhu Xiaofen.”
Bai Youwei coldly nodded. “Fine. Zhang Qi, Wu Lili, Zhu Xiaofen—listen to me now. We only have one chance to clear this. In this round, each of us must choose Truth to consume all the white cards and force it to choose a black card in the next round. Do you all understand what I mean?”
The three nodded.
“Good, if you understand, I’ll continue.” Bai Youwei said. “I don’t know what you wrote on the black cards. In any case, if you did as I said, there’s an 83% probability of leaving here alive, and all five people will survive without a single death. But if—”
Her tone changed, and her voice cooled by a few degrees. “If someone didn’t do as I said, this strategy will be difficult to execute. When someone dies from bad luck, don’t blame me—blame that uncooperative person~”
Zhang Qi said: “I wrote it as required!”
Wu Lili also quickly stated her position: “I, I also wrote it that way!”
Zhu Xiaofen: “…I also wrote it that way.”
“To be honest, I don’t quite believe you, but it doesn’t matter now.” Bai Youwei looked indifferent. “Now I’ll explain the specific steps.
This game has two key points. First is the order—the Inspector is in the first position. To consume white cards, it will definitely choose Truth.
Second is the rule that after two rounds of white cards, you must choose a black card. My brother will take one black card. This way, the remaining five white cards are just enough for the four of us to share.”
Zhang Qi blurted out: “Then won’t your brother die?”
“My brother has a way to save his life. You don’t need to worry about that.” Bai Youwei didn’t explain about the puzzle pieces and said indifferently: “After my brother takes a black card, I’ll take a white card, Zhu Xiaofen takes a white card. According to the game rules, after two rounds of white cards you must choose a black card—unless you use two white cards to offset it. So Wu Lili will use two white cards, and the last white card will let Zhang Qi use it, consuming them perfectly—”
She finished in one breath and let out a light sigh. “I’ve explained it so clearly. If someone still doesn’t understand, I really have no solution.”
“That…” Zhu Xiaofen asked anxiously and uneasily, “You just said the Inspector has an 83% probability of drawing it, but there’s still 17%. What if… what if it doesn’t draw it… what do we do…”
Bai Youwei asked her speechlessly: “Do you think Dare is about probability?”
Zhu Xiaofen looked completely confused.
Bai Youwei: “The so-called Dare is about who has more courage! If you don’t dare risk even a 17% chance, then what Dare are you playing? Stay here and be friends with it~”
Bai Youwei was too lazy to say more. She sat lazily and said to the Inspector: “Alright, I’ve said everything I wanted to say. We can start the game now.”
The Inspector looked at each person with interest. Finally, its gaze fell on Bai Youwei’s face as it smiled: “Your method is indeed feasible, but… I don’t believe these people will all write according to your requirements. However, you’re quite right—Dare is about being bold. So I’ll also bet with you. I bet that… under the influence of timidity, doubt, selfishness, and stupidity, they won’t do as you said.”
Bai Youwei sneered: “If they didn’t, then they didn’t. Anyway, I wrote it. You’ll draw it.”
