Chapter 270 [Mind Catcher] (Oddity): Truth or Dare?
"Only members of the Siren royal family of high status are qualified to write this script, and only those written by powerful members of the Siren royal family will be sensed by other Siren. However, the Siren royal family will not write this script lightly."
"It has only appeared three times in history books. If you ever see this siren script somewhere, it means that the place has been marked by the siren race. The siren race will definitely use all its strength to destroy the civilization of that land."
After Yu Xunge left the beach, she called Tu Lan out and shared her discoveries and what Hechpa had told her. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had gotten used to sharing her experiences with Tu Lan.
Tu Lan, however, didn't seem to care: "I know this script too. Bei Sui told me about it when he was telling me stories."
Yu Xunge became interested: "How so? Is there any story behind it?"
Tulan gave a complicated look: "This symbol has indeed only appeared three times. The first time was written to the Undead Clan, the second time to the Moon Fox Clan, and the third time to the Oak Owl Clan."
Yu Xunge: ………………
Is this a clarion call for war or a cursed blessing?
Her heavy mood vanished instantly, and she even had a fleeting urge to run back, dig out the plank, and take it home as a keepsake.
With no trace of the Wind Scythe and now the Sea Emperor added to the mix, Yu Xunge felt uneasy if she didn't resolve the issues. Instead of going home, she turned a corner and went to the city's most luxurious cemetery.
It's easier to do bad things before dawn.
The man and the dragon flew directly across the air, arriving at their destination in less than five minutes. Yu Xunge held his pocket watch and used his probe on the ground. Even through layers of obstruction, he could see what was inside—[a box of ashes mixed with a few impurities].
Considering the Liang family's wealth, Yu Xunge started searching directly from the most expensive area. Soon, he found Liang Pozhou's luxurious tomb in the golden area of the first ring of the cemetery, with a group of reliefs behind the tombstone.
However, what was placed in the tomb was not a box of ashes mixed with a few impurities, but a Mind Catcher (an artifact).
Yu Xunge: !!!
Here we go again, testing her moral standards and personal qualities once more!
What's the point of testing something that doesn't exist?
The invisible Yu Xunge glanced around like a thief, patted the equally invisible Tu Lan on his shoulder, and whispered, "There's something good inside."
Tulan immediately understood: "Is it the one we accidentally lost before?"
Yu Xunge was taken aback: "Huh? Which one? What did we lose?"
Tulan asked, "What's inside?"
Yu Xunge: "A strange object called Mind Catcher."
Tulan: "What was your last question?"
Yu Xunge sensed something was wrong, and her voice weakened slightly with guilt: "...What did we lose?"
Tulan said indignantly, "We've been looking for a strange object called the Mind Catcher for so long! We never expected it to end up here."
Yu Xunge: "..." Holy Grail, Bei Sui, why don't you two have another one... Let's just forget about this one for now.
The perfect combination of a human and a dragon: one flies into the air to cover the camera and uses the Eye of the Hunter to keep watch, while the other uses the dragon's claw to draw a square above the artifact, puts the contents inside into his own dimensional space, and then puts the lid back on.
Tu Lan flew to Yu Xunge's side, growing larger as it caught Yu Xunge, whose planetary skills had been rendered ineffective by her proximity, and carried her away from the crime scene.
There was no verbal communication whatsoever; the entire process was completely silent, and the skill involved was so practiced that it made one want to call the police.
Yu Xunge was also extremely shocked. His accomplice was so skilled! Last time when the two of them went to steal the Legion Token, Tu Lan was only agile in escaping, but now he was so smooth in attacking as well...
Moreover, after receiving the item, Tulan communicated with her mentally the whole time. My goodness, this child is so talented and insightful in this regard.
The man and the dragon went straight home, and upon arrival, they immediately took out the stolen goods and surrounded them to begin their appraisal.
It was a complete, pure white hand bone, not only a hand bone but also connected to the thin bones of the forearm. When the hand bone was opened, it was almost the same size as Yu Xunge's head. The hand bone was densely engraved with siren characters the size of grains of rice.
These are definitely the hand bones of a siren, and most likely even the sea god who carved the ¤ symbol on the fishing boat.
[Good Will Hunting] (Oddity): Intertwine our fingers and tell me, will you choose truth or dare?
With only one instruction manual and no mention of any side effects or benefits, Yu Xunge hesitated.
Perhaps using Mindcat is itself a great adventure.
Tulan was already eager to try: "Are you going to play? If you're not, I want to!"
Yu Xunge shook his head: "I'll go first. If anything goes wrong, just use Despicable Me to turn back time."
This is the safest way. If Tulan falls into the trap, she is worried that something unexpected might happen and she won't be able to turn back time. Moreover, she prefers to have the initiative in her own hands.
After exchanging the secret code, Yu Xunge placed his hand on his wrist bone, and the Mind Catcher naturally intertwined with Yu Xunge's fingers. Even though he knew this was the effect of the artifact, this action still made Yu Xunge's scalp tingle.
The moment she touched the hand bone, with a hum, five siren characters on the hand bone were illuminated by blue light, and the chanting of siren echoed in her mind.
As their fingers intertwined, [Mind Catcher] forcefully locked Yu Xunge's hand. She instantly realized that the game had begun, and that she had to play a game before this hand bone would release her.
Two choices flashed through her mind, just as the strange object described: Truth or Dare.
Yu Xunge chose truth.
The Mind Catcher sang a song in the language of sirens, but it reached her very soul. She understood; the song asked her, "Is power more important, or is your race more important?"
Yu Xunge answered without hesitation: "Power."
As long as she is strong enough, even if she becomes an alien race, as long as she stands on the side of Earth, humanity will not easily abandon her. Even if they do, there is nowhere in the world she cannot go. Conversely, without power, she has nothing.
The blue light on the siren characters flickered. After confirming that Yu Xunge was telling the truth, it released Yu Xunge's hand, but the hand bones remained loosely clenched, and the five siren characters that had been lit up continued to emit a soft blue light.
There's an extra line of text under its item description.
[Good Will Hunting] (Oddity): Intertwine our fingers and tell me, choose truth or dare.
[One answer (1/1)]: You can ask me a question related to improving your strength.
Yu Xunge was still thinking about the question from earlier. It was too simple. If it was such a simple question, would anyone still choose Truth or Dare? How could the game continue? Or was Truth or Dare not difficult?
But if that were the case, the game would lose its meaning. The fun of Truth or Dare lies in the fact that truth makes people afraid to answer, and dare makes people afraid to take risks.
