Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 355 Truth or Dare
"Hall of Honesty? Miss Wheel of Fortune seems to know a lot about it."

"Why is Pado so gloating? Hmm, I have a bad feeling about this."

Emlyn and Klein's voices rang out almost simultaneously.

"Hall of Honesty? What Hall of Honesty?" Audrey and the others followed suit with their questioning voices.

"What's going on?" Klein's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, his own thoughts resurfaced.

"This is...this is the Hall of Honesty?" Everyone looked at Paddo.

“I don’t know anything, don’t look at me.” Padmon buried her head in Klein’s hat, but her voice still kept coming out, “I’m not looking for any fun.”

"I didn't want to see Brother Ke's true colors revealed, I didn't want to see Brother Ke die a horrible death..."

Before entering this place, Padmon had Serres encrypt a small portion of her memories so that the hall wouldn't be able to detect them.

So now she thinks quite recklessly.

“Paddo!” Klein’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Hiding his true colors? Haha, that's really interesting." Leonard's voice rang out, "A cold-blooded killer, but inside he's someone who'd be happy to get a few pounds reimbursed..."

"Shut up too!"

"What's going on... what's going on... I can't stop it..." Derrick's voice sounded anxious, as if he thought that his inability to stop it was his own fault.

“Foolish sheep, this is something left behind by the Imaginary Dragon, a powerhouse on par with our vampire progenitor.” Emlyn’s voice interrupted Derrick’s self-reproach.

"Mr. Moon's words of comfort are still so unpleasant to hear; this is what Mr. Devil calls tsundere." Derrick's inner thoughts sounded rather silly.

"Who are you calling arrogant!"

"This hall reflects our thoughts? Honesty... this is the Hall of Honesty?" Cattleya's rational voice rang out.

Hmm, calm my thoughts, calm my thoughts... Klein began to try to concentrate using meditation to stop his mind from wandering.

At the same time, almost simultaneously, the corresponding words rang out beside him: "Calm your mind, calm your mind..."

"So this is what Mr. World's mind is like. Like a child who has just started school, constantly emphasizing things he needs to pay attention to. And what he's meditating on are actually layers of light orbs. How beautiful! No, no, I didn't think that way, and I never described you like that, Mr. World, really!" As her true thoughts continued to emerge, Audrey finally couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Meanwhile, Leonard's "hahaha" sounds were already echoing all around.

"Is the crazy Gehrman Sparrow really this kind of person inside?" Cattleya was somewhat surprised.

"As expected of the secretly passionate wild rose of the Five Seas..." Fowles' voice rang out at the opportune moment.

But then, Fowles was glared at by Klein and shrank back.

"Fine, I won't say. I didn't mention you or the three of you..."

"Miss Magician!"

"Three people what?" Leonard asked curiously.

“A little story I have to tell about the three female pirate generals,” Fowles thought subconsciously.

"Which three? I don't have any!" Gadriya's inner voice quickly retorted.

"It's such a mess, it's a complete mess."

As Klein listened to his inner monologue, he sighed helplessly:

"This is a great place to play Truth or Dare, which is probably why the Honesty Hall is so popular..."

"What kind of game is this?" Audrey didn't even need to open her mouth to express her confusion.

"It was probably invented by Emperor Roselle... I need to be careful not to think about things I shouldn't. Honestly, it's so hard to rein in these random, wandering thoughts without meditation. Even the artist's abilities are beyond my control, especially if I were to use Ether to edit the data..." Klein answered, habitually reminding himself. As a result, he was once again betrayed by the hall.

"By the way, why aren't there any inner voices from Mr. Demon, Miss Priestess, Miss Emperor, and Mr. Tower?" Fors wondered.

Otto smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Alicia closed her eyes, placing her hands on her temples. A few seconds later, her voice rang out, "One, two, three; three, two, one; hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"

She tried to lower her defenses, and it took her quite a while to finally succeed.

Xing put her hands on her hips, smiled crookedly, and her inner thoughts began to resonate.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"First, let's empty our minds and return to a state of harmony with nature..."

The next second, she tilted her head and her eyes became wise.

Her voice disappeared from Honesty Hall once again.

"So you just weren't thinking about anything?" Audrey realized.

"And what about Mr. Demon?" Derrick asked, looking at Serres.

Serres smiled, his inner voice echoing: "I can only open my mind a little bit to you. After all, I have been exposed to nothingness, and if I completely open it up, this city will collapse."

But after merely answering the question and mentioning the word "nothingness," the hall's color dimmed for a fleeting moment.

Immediately afterwards, Serres suddenly pointed in Otto's direction, and the invisible barrier and golden feather dust shattered.

"Oh no, I've been found out." Otto's inner thoughts could no longer be concealed.

"Don't miss this opportunity, let's play Truth or Dare." Xing had somehow already switched back from "energy-saving mode."

“Then let’s use roulette.” Serres pulled out a pistol.

“I understand the logic, but why roulette?” Klein asked. “And aren’t we here to explore?”

“Relaxing won’t hurt you.” Serres tossed the pistol to Klein. “You start.”

“Hey, I didn’t agree to bet with you.” Klein took the pistol.

But Serres ignored him, and instead, his inner voice suddenly grew louder, overwhelming everyone else.

"We've walked for so long, it's time to relax. Everyone, let's play a game. There are prizes!"

"I can't, it's too shameful!" Fowles waved his hands repeatedly.

“If you want to leave now, just say so, and I can block you. But in return, your perception of other people will also be blocked,” Serres replied.

"Imagine everyone is laughing, but you know nothing about it..."

"I'm so shy, but it seems really fun..." Fowles couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

"Let's forget about it," Klein said, frowning.

“I’ll keep quiet about particularly private matters, okay?” Serres offered as a concession.

"I'm sorry, but how do you plan to silence it?" Cattleya asked, trying to suppress her thoughts.

Serres snapped his fingers, and a ball of light appeared in front of each person.

"After grasping the ball of light, your thoughts will not be displayed in the hall. Release it when you encounter a question that someone is willing to answer, and hold it when you encounter a question that someone is unwilling to answer."

"This effectively protects privacy, but it prevents you from lying."

"how?"

Whether they played or not was secondary; everyone instinctively grabbed the ball of light in front of them.

The chaotic hall finally quieted down.

P.S.: Only two days left, monthly tickets!
