Chapter 227 Guessing the True Heart



"The name of the game is "Guess the Truth"."

"You now have 1 gold coin and 6 silver coins. You don't have to return them after the game is over. Use them to feed the magic spirits."

"The rules of the game are as follows: First, there is the answering phase. Each person asks a yes or no question in turn, and then everyone uses gold coins to make a true answer. The literal side of the coin represents "yes", and the flowery side represents "no."

"The next part is the guessing game. Everyone has to guess how many people answered "yes" and place a corresponding silver coin. The player who guesses successfully gets one point, and the person with the highest score wins."

"But no matter before or after the game, no one is allowed to ask others for information, nor can they reveal what they answered."

"It's a simple game, right?" An Nan said with a smile, "I will fulfill the wishes of anyone who scores higher than me, whether it's picking up corpses in the sewer or wanting to top up the game."

At first glance, this game does not sound very tricky, but Harvey soon discovered the loophole: "But how do you guarantee that everyone will give a true answer during the answering session?"

"It's very simple." An Nan said: "Pan Ji, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Borgin, and Ash, you have to give true answers in the next game. It's your turn, Ash."

Ash lowered his head and said to the little girl, "Liz, you have to answer honestly in the game later. If you lie, all your dolls will be made by Uncle Harvey himself."

Little Liz turned pale with fear: "I will never lie!"

Harvey, on the other hand, looked at Ash strangely and asked, "How do you know I can make dolls?"

"After all, making dolls sounds like a perverted hobby..."

"Wait," Igula narrowed his eyes, "We are bound by the contract, so we will not lie intentionally. But what about you, young lady?"

"Isn't there a clause in the contract that binds me? As long as I say the binding spell, my subsequent words will become an oath that binds me. Once I break the contract, our contract will end. And the binding spell is..."

"I'm betting on Duolan's reputation." An Nan raised his head: "I will uphold the virtue of honesty in the next game."

"No!" Ash suddenly became clever: "Shouldn't there be some magic or miracle that can detect the situation of the gold coins? Maybe even directly detect the thoughts in other people's minds! Wouldn't cheating like this be impossible to detect?"

An Nan was very easy to talk to: "I swear I will not use any magician's power in the game."

Then everyone looked at the second-ranked fraudster on the Two Wings Mental List, who had just brushed his teeth and was still talking nonsense. The fraudster put his hands together, made a handcuffed gesture, shrugged and said, "It seems that my promise will not win your approval, but you really don't respect me."

Ash said: "It is precisely because I respect you that I must restrict your cheating methods."

"This is the greatest disrespect - you actually think I need to cheat in this game to beat you." Igula raised his head, with a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "The rules are the skirt that the goddess of victory lifts for me."

"Why did you lift up the skirt? Aunt Borkin, do you want to see the panties of the goddess of victory?" Little Liz was a little confused.

"Liz, you don't understand." Ash said, "It is said that Veela and men with Veela blood like to lick--"

Before An Nan could say anything, Igula had already turned over the table and covered Ash's throat with his hands to prevent this 0-star useless adult from saying dirty trash in front of the child.

"What the hell—"

An Nan said to Liz very seriously: "If you want to replace this father, I will be happy to help."

“No way!” Liz went over and pulled Igula away: “Aunt Bogin, please stop bullying Daddy!”

"Really? I'm the most normal adult among us. Igula, do you think I would say something perverted? I'm not Harvey!" Ash struggled to pry Igula's hand open: "I just want to say that people with Veela blood like to lick legs!"

"This is already very perverted, okay?!"

After a commotion, not only Igula, but everyone else was ordered not to use magic. The six of them sat on the sofa around the coffee table, and Banji was very considerate and brought drinks and snacks and fruit plates, which made it feel like a party.

"Do I want to play too?" asked the young butler.

"Of course, you are also a member of the firm. This is the first team-building activity of the funeral firm after the expansion of its staff. If you beat me, I can also meet your requirements."

"Miss, you are joking."

"Come to think of it, it feels a bit unfair." An Nan suddenly said, "If you win, I will reward you, but if I win, shouldn't you reward me too?"

"But now we are yours, what can we give you as a reward?" Igula sneered, "You only need an order to get what you want, can we refuse your order?"

Harvey reminded her, "Our contract allows us to refuse sex, so we can refuse."

"Hey, don't be so shady. Maybe the boss just wants us to have this intention." Ash said, "And we do have gifts to give. For example, Liz, you are a little girl, so you can make a wreath. Harvey, you are a necromancer, so you can take out your ribs and process them into amulets. Igula, you are a psychic, so you can dig out your own heart..."

Harvey looked confused: "How do you know that I once took out my ribs and made them into gifts? Although it was not processed into an amulet..."

Igula originally wanted to complain harshly, but Harvey's words choked him - Ash's wild imagination could not keep up with Harvey's strong execution ability.

"It doesn't have to be that serious." An Nan smiled and said, "How about this, if I win, I will still fulfill your wish, but you need to do something for me. Something that may not be work-related, but something I want to take you to do."

"What's up?"

"Let's talk after the game is over." An Nan let the Scarlet Golden Dragon Lizard go and said, "I know you don't believe me. It's normal. Who would believe a super beauty who enslaved herself with conspiracy and trickery?"

Igula showed disdain, while Ash and Harvey showed no reaction - their looks were not enough for them to object to this statement.

"But I really don't have the idea of ​​enslaving you. In my opinion, you are all my equal partners. The profits from the weaving ceremony will be shared by us. We are colleagues who work together. The funeral agency will only be a platform for you to go further, and these 101 days will become a valuable experience in your life."

"Let me use this game to prove my sincerity."

An Nan said, "Since I proposed this game, let me start asking questions."

"Question: Do you want to obtain the God's wish?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Hide the gold coins in your hand, and then put them into this handkerchief." An Nan reached into the handkerchief on the coffee table and put down the gold coins in his palm: "It's your turn."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but they had no choice - restricted by the contract, they had to answer honestly and could not lie.

"Then it's time for the guessing game," Annan said. "I think everyone answered 'yes', so I'm going to bet 6 silver coins."

Everyone, including the faithful butler Panji, also placed 6 silver coins. When the handkerchief was opened, there were indeed 6 gold coins with the words facing up, which meant that everyone's answer was "yes".

"Banji, what wish do you want to make after you get the wish from the God?" An Nan asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Banji shrugged: "Maybe it's 'Please fulfill the young lady's wish'?"

"I don't believe it. You must have your own wishes." An Nan looked at the others: "This is natural. Everyone has something to ask for. I have it, Banji has it, and you naturally have it too. As long as you can breathe, you must want to get the gift of God that can fulfill all wishes."

“Although I am very selfish, I am not so selfish as to think that others are selfless.”
