Chapter 1: House of Truth, your special identity has been activated, congratulations...
[Dear players, welcome to the world's number one puzzle game "House of Truth". The copy is loading for you...]
[Since this is your first time playing, we will provide you with a beginner's guide. Do you want to check the game rules? ]
[Excuse me, do you need to check the rules? ]
It wasn't until the strange voice asked a second time that Cecia came to her senses.
In the last second, she was drinking newly brewed wine and admiring the moonlight in the bedroom. In the next second, she suddenly appeared in this place she had never been to before, and there was a voice with an awkward accent saying something that was completely incomprehensible.
She knew about the game, but she had never heard of the game "House of Truth". What was a copy?
Looking at the colorful and strange building in front of her, Cecilia tried to enter it, but was blocked by an invisible wall of air.
After becoming the Demon King, no one dared to hinder her so blatantly.
Cecia became interested and raised her hand to try to blast away the obstacle in front of her, but she found that she could not mobilize any magic power at all. Even the physical fitness that she was proud of had regressed to that of a child. She was so fragile that anyone could slap her to death with a single slap.
After a long while without a response, the strange voice seemed to have lost its patience. It stopped asking questions and a thin booklet appeared directly in Cecilia's hand.
【House of Truth Tour Guide】
[1. Each time you enter the game, a copy will be randomly generated. Players who enter the game for the first time can draw an identity card to gain the ability to survive.]
[2. The number of players and difficulty levels of different dungeons are different, but the clearance condition of all dungeons is to crack the truth. After the dungeon is loaded, the player will be provided with some information and questions. As long as the correct answer is given, the player can pass the level perfectly and leave the dungeon.]
【3. Players need to guess the answer to the question based on the information given. During the game, you can ask three questions and get a yes or no answer.
Note: Questions can only be asked in special places. 】
【4. Please obey every rule you see, they are saving you. 】
[5. You only have one life, please cherish it. If you cannot figure out the truth, you will become the nourishment of the world.]
After reading the words in the manual, it disappeared in Cecia's hands as if it had never appeared.
Weird things happened one after another, but she was rarely excited.
She was taken away without anyone noticing in the Demon King's bedroom, which was the most heavily guarded place in the Demon Clan, and all her magic and physical strength were taken away from her... Even if the leaders of several other races joined forces, they would not be able to do this.
Therefore, the current situation is most likely the work of some "unknown" person.
Although she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, it was obvious that in the other party's eyes she might not even be an ant and could only act according to the so-called "rules of the game."
For her, this feeling of being coerced was not a bad one.
Cecia asked with interest, "What about my ID card?"
The person on the other end didn't seem to expect her attitude to change so quickly. After a few seconds of silence, the other person spoke.
[The copy "Blind Paradise" has been loaded. The identity cards derived from this copy are "Clown", "Balloon Distributor", and "Dessert Lover". Do you want to randomly draw? ]
[Ding, the special identity has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining the title "Balloon Dispenser". The survival guide for the corresponding identity has been unlocked. Please use the identity-specific skills reasonably to uncover the truth as soon as possible. ]
[It is detected that this is the first time for the player to enter the dungeon. The difficulty has been adjusted to the lowest level for you——]
[This is the largest amusement park in the city, and it is also known as the only "blind park". You brought your congenitally blind sister to play there. After returning home, her eyes miraculously recovered. But she always sneaks to the amusement park at night, saying that it is paradise. Excuse me, what is paradise? ]
The voice quickly read out the copy information, and then fell completely silent, as if it had finally completed its mission.
Cecia turned over the small wooden sign that said "Balloon Dispatcher" and saw a few short rules written on the back.
[Balloon Launcher (lv1) Survival Guide]
[1. Every hour, you can generate a balloon. Now you can only generate red balloons.]
[2. The ability of the red balloon will be drawn from the E-level and F-level skill libraries. The current extraction probability is: F-level (99%), E-level (1%). This ability will only take effect when you hold the balloon. If the balloon is damaged or lost, the ability will disappear. ]
[3. The balloon can be forcibly given to others. No consent is required from others. As long as the other party holds the balloon, the ability will continue to be effective.]
[4. As a balloon distributor, you cannot enjoy the beauty of balloons alone. For every five balloons you generate, you must give one to someone else. Otherwise, all the balloons you generate within 24 hours will burst immediately.]
After reading the four rules on the wooden sign, Cecia casually stuffed it into her pocket and tentatively generated a balloon.
I saw a bright red balloon connected to the balloon string in my hand, and a note was tied to the end of the balloon string, which read -
"You can lick your elbow with your tongue (F)."
?
Cecia's playful smile froze on her face. She did not verify the feasibility of her ability, but walked straight to the amusement park with the balloon.
As soon as the voice finished reading the message, the wall of air in front of her disappeared. At the same time, the originally silent amusement park also underwent earth-shaking changes.
The crowd was bustling and the children were laughing. They came from nowhere and rushed into the amusement park.
The gate of the amusement park was bright red, with paintings of cats, dogs and rabbits, species that she had seen in ancient books and had long been extinct. A sign in the center read "Happy Paradise".
Although she had never been to an amusement park before, Cecia had heard of it. It was nothing more than some children's amusement projects.
A living museum, an aquarium 20,000 meters under the sea with one click (you better taste terrible), a haunted house where you are swallowed by giants (you will smell terrible after the tour)...
But the happy paradise before her seemed different from what she had heard.
"Hello, do you need to buy a ticket? You can spend one question opportunity to buy a ticket to Happy Land."
As soon as Cecia reached the entrance of the amusement park, she was stopped by a staff member wearing a black cat doll costume.
The other party bent slightly, holding a stack of tickets in his hand, and his attitude was friendly and respectful, but her survival instinct warned her: if she refused, the other party might immediately tear off this disguise.
“Apart from the opportunity to ask questions, can the tickets be exchanged in some other way?”
She only had three chances to ask questions, and she needed to use them to infer the truth. It would not be wise to waste an opportunity at the beginning.
“You can also exchange your balloons for tickets.”
Hearing the other party's request, Cecilia's expression became strange. She had never heard such a strange request.
How could a balloon that allows people to lick their elbows be so popular?
After getting the ticket, she did not enter the amusement park directly, but wandered around. But no matter which direction she walked, she could not leave the vicinity of the gate.
Is the copy limiting her to exploring the amusement park?
Cecia looked thoughtful, turned around and stepped into the gate of the amusement park.
silence.
This was her first feeling.
The moment she completely entered the paradise of happiness, the noisy crowd around her suddenly disappeared, leaving her with only deathly silence and pitch-black darkness.
The cool breeze brushed across her exposed arms, and the regular heartbeat was clearly audible. It seemed as if she was the only one left in the world. In the endless darkness, something seemed to be watching her, and that gaze was kind and compassionate...
Completely blind, Cecia had no choice but to turn to balloons.
Instantly, a strange face came very close to her. It had no eyes, only two black holes in its eye sockets. But it kept smiling, with the corners of its mouth almost reaching its ears.
She was startled, but suppressed her body's subconscious reaction. She then carefully observed every detail of the blind man. Only when he was about to touch her did she move to the right and let him pass.
The surroundings were densely packed with eyeless people, with happy smiles on their faces, and they were slowly moving deeper into the amusement park.
But in the darkness, she was completely unaware of their presence, and the nearest eyeless man was about to bump into her, and she couldn't feel his breathing or heartbeat.
While dodging the Blind Man, Cecia looked down at the balloon string and saw the note read:
"You have excellent night vision, but can only see in complete darkness (F)."
This means that it just suddenly got dark, not that she was blind.
It seems that the other party is more inclined to change the surrounding environment than to directly affect her condition. Or in other words, the other party has no right to directly harm her?
She wrapped the balloon string around her wrist several times, broke away from the large group of eyeless people, turned around and saw a girl squatting in the corner, shivering.
The question says that my sister often sneaks into the amusement park at night. Could she be her?
Cecia slowly approached the girl and whispered, "You..."
A short scream broke the quiet night, and Cecilia quickly covered the girl's mouth to block the rest of the scream.
Not far away, the eyeless people paused for a few seconds and turned their heads in unison in the direction they were in.
Cecilia quickly put her arms around the girl's slender waist, gently carried her and hid behind the red and white tent.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after the eyeless man turned his head back and continued moving forward, but she still did not dare to relax her hold on the girl.
"Shh, I don't mean to hurt you."
She held down the man's struggling arm tightly and whispered, "Don't make any noise, or they will come over here."
Only when she saw the girl nodded obediently did she let go of her hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm just scared."
The girl said timidly that she couldn't see around her and could only open her eyes in confusion, subconsciously holding onto Cecilia's arm.
"Sister is also a player, right? Do you know how to quit the game?"
