Chapter 102: Truth or Dare

Truth or Dare

Although Hu Xuan's outrageous behavior was very frightening, everyone still adopted her suggestion.

The group did not deal with the corpses, but simply wiped away the traces at the scene, then left the two corpses lying there, and each went out, leaving the room.

This was an experiment, and also a probe.

The players were probing where the town's bottom line lay, and also observing the sightseeing assistants' reactions to the corpses in the room.

After leaving the room, Cheng Shi went straight back to his own room. Before leaving, he wanted to ask Shaman in the room what exactly a sightseeing assistant meant.

Shaman was very well-behaved; she stood dutifully at the door of the room, not even sitting on the stool, quietly waiting for Cheng Shi to return.

"You're back."

Seeing her honest appearance, Cheng Shi suddenly had a plan in his mind.

He smiled, poured a glass of water, placed it in Shaman's hand, and then said slowly in a magnetic voice:

"Miss Shaman, in my hometown, new friends often play a game to accelerate the warming of their friendship.

Although we have just met, I feel that we are already friends, aren't we?"

Shaman had probably never encountered such a thick-skinned traveler; she smiled shyly and said nothing.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it that the beautiful lady has accepted my game invitation."

Shaman still didn't speak, but the expression on her face already indicated the answer.

She was not resistant.

Very good.

Cheng Shi smiled happily.

He held Shaman's hand and sat down at the table, then held her slender wrist with his forearms crossed.

Similarly, he let Shaman's little hand hold his wrist.

"This game is called Truth or Dare. Everyone takes turns asking a question. If the person being asked chooses Truth, then they cannot lie.

If the person being asked chooses Dare, then they must follow the questioner's request and do one thing.

Note, it's anything."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi's aggressive gaze lingered wantonly on Shaman's chest, making Shaman shrink back, her little hand gripping his wrist tightly.

"Given that the beautiful lady is playing for the first time, the priority for asking questions will be yours."

Cheng Shi generously gave Shaman the opportunity, but Shaman was playing such an ambiguous game for the first time and didn't know what to ask for a while.

She thought for a long while with a conflicted expression before finally opening her mouth with a blushing face.

"Guest... where... are you from?"

"Kanliwal, the far north, a place covered by wind and snow."

Cheng Shi answered quickly, and after finishing, added: "I choose Truth."

Hearing this answer, Shaman covered her mouth with her other hand in surprise.

"I have never heard of that place."

"Is that so? The world is big and very interesting, isn't it?"

As Cheng Shi spoke, he used his fingernails to gently hook and stroke the delicate skin on Shaman's forearm.

Shaman only felt her forearm tingling, as if stung by a weak electric current.

Her face turned even redder with a "whoosh," her head hung lower, and a layer of pale pink frost hung on the back of her neck and earlobes.

Seeing the girl in front of him bowing her head in shyness, Cheng Shi smiled.

A very shy girl, this is very good.

Such a girl is either easy to deceive or easy to be deceived.

Shaman is clearly the latter.

Of course, Cheng Shi was not deliberately taking advantage of her.

The reason for doing this was nothing more than to deliberately create some physical contact, letting this cautious and shy little lamb feel the aggressiveness of a lecher.

In this way, perhaps she would have some scruples and not choose the Dare that "might have danger."

Cheng Shi didn't want any Dare either.

The silent ambiguity was still fermenting.

It was Cheng Shi's turn to ask. Feeling the increasingly romantic atmosphere in the room, he smiled gently and whispered:

"What is your purpose in coming to my side?"

This was a very unromantic question that shouldn't have appeared on such an occasion.

However, Cheng Shi wasn't really here to pick up girls; he was here to collect intelligence. Since all the groundwork had been laid, he naturally had to gain something.

But what he didn't expect was that because of this question, Shaman's already blushing face turned even redder.

At this moment, Cheng Shi suddenly realized that his judgment might have deviated.

Seeing Shaman open her mouth several times to answer, but after a long time of fidgeting, she still said shyly:

"I... I want to choose... Dare."

?

Cheng Shi froze.

Little sister, my hand is almost reaching onto your body, and you choose Dare?

Do you know what a Dare is?

You know, right?

Fine, fine, fine, is that how you want to play?

I'll satisfy you.

"Alright, since that's the case, my request is..."

Cheng Shi smiled politely, his face stiff as he made an extremely excessive request.

"Please answer the previous question truthfully: what is your purpose in coming to my side?"

"???"

Shaman was caught off guard by this sudden change in style. She first looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, seemingly feeling that Cheng Shi was not gentlemanly enough.

Then she suddenly covered her mouth and burst into laughter.

For a moment, she was shaking like a flower.

Hiss—

Stop shaking, my eyes are dizzy.

"Guest, you don't need to be so guarded against me. Shaman is just a sightseeing assistant and will not harm you."

Seeing her speak openly, Cheng Shi naturally stopped hiding.

"Then I'm even more curious: what kind of scenery does Yuanmu Town have that requires every traveler to be equipped with a sightseeing assistant?"

Shaman blinked and asked back in surprise:

"You... didn't the tour guide tell you?"

"Tour guide? He didn't say anything. He took my money, brought me here, and then ran away.

So, as you know, I know nothing about this place."

Shaman showed a shocked expression of "so that's how it is," and then smiled to comfort Cheng Shi:

"They are too greedy for money, but guest, don't worry. Yuanmu Town is not a dangerous place. It always welcomes travelers, especially gentlemen like you from the surface."

How come I didn't know I was a gentleman?

Cheng Shi heard Shaman's teasing, smiled stiffly, and asked again:

"So, can I ask the beautiful Miss Shaman to introduce me to this town full of exotic scenery?"

Shaman shook her head upon hearing this.

"Sorry, guest, Yuanmu Town is a very ordinary town; there is no charming scenery here."

"?"

Shaman saw the doubt in Cheng Shi's eyes and continued to explain:

"However, there are charming people here."

As she spoke, she shyly guided Cheng Shi's hand, slowly sliding it across the skin on her arm, and arrived at...

Hold on!

Cheng Shi decisively pulled his hand away, successfully avoiding a finger weight-training session.

Touching unknown people on unknown territory is likely to incur unknown risks.

Before understanding the full scope of the trial, some advantages cannot be considered advantages.

They might even be very expensive.

The moment Cheng Shi decisively pulled his hand away, Shaman felt the guest's disgust and avoidance. She was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned pale instantly.

"So... the guest doesn't like Shaman.

You...

If you don't like Shaman, you can go to the Traveler's Office in town to apply for a change of sightseeing assistant.

I... sob, sob, sob..."

Saying this, this beautiful-looking girl actually covered her face and rushed out of the room, running away.

Cheng Shi looked at this scene in front of him, speechless and sucking his teeth.

Just at this moment, Qin Chaoge, who didn't know how long she had been listening at the door, leaned against the door frame and smiled meaningfully at Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi's face turned awkward.

"Is it good to listen to?"

"Tsk, boring. You don't like men, do you?"

Cheng Shi chuckled, originally wanting to retort, "Why don't you try it?"

But then a mischievous thought arose; he stood up with a smile on his face, reached out and beckoned to Qin Chaoge, and spat out a single word plainly:

"Come."

Just with this one word, Qin Chaoge exploded.

"Boom—"

Cheng Shi only saw a black shadow coming at him. Before he could react, he was smashed out by a fist the size of a bowl, breaking through the wooden wall of the room and falling directly onto the street.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and durable; apart from a slightly cracked sternum, he had no other injuries.

"Damn, good thing it's the second floor..."

He vomited blood, gave himself a small healing spell, and then looked up at the gap in the hotel's outer wall.

There, Qin Chaoge was looking at him with a half-smile.

Passersby seemed to be used to everything that happened in the hotel. Although many passersby wanted to reach out and help Cheng Shi up, Cheng Shi politely refused and did not accept.

It wasn't until Qin Chaoge walked out of the hotel and straightened him up from the ground that Cheng Shi's dark face looked a little better.

"Are you sick?" Cheng Shi complained.

"Aren't you?" Qin Chaoge asked back.

"..."

This sister is really sick.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"The 【Fate】 believer is sleeping, the 【Existence】 believer has run off, the Birth...

Forget it, I think you're the only reliable one. Let's team up and go investigate together."

"You punched me, and you still want to team up with me? Aren't you afraid I'll find an opportunity to retaliate against you?"

"Heh, your build isn't enough for one of my punches, where does such confidence come from?

If it weren't for the fact that you're a priest, I might not even have taken a fancy to you."

So I have to thank you?

Cheng Shi healed his broken bone with a dark face and said impatiently:

"Where to?"

"Traveler's Office. I've inquired; there, you can change a sightseeing assistant."

"What about your sightseeing assistant?"

"Tried to get handsy with me, killed them."

"?"
