Chapter 363 Truth or Falsehood (1/2)



The appearance of the typhoon not only enlivened the comments section, but also made the guests in the video look much more energetic.

After all the rules were announced, the eight guests entered the "Human Laboratory" one by one and randomly drew their identity cards from the lottery box.

The production team edited and fast-forwarded through this part of the show, showing only the guests quickly entering and exiting the room, but not revealing what they actually drew. Sun Xiaoxiao craned her neck, trying to glean some clues from the guests' expressions.

These actors were all highly skilled; some stared in disbelief, some remained motionless, some made strange faces, and others deliberately made exaggerated facial expressions. Each expression was incredibly vivid, yet it was impossible to determine their identities based on them alone.

Sun Xiaoxiao was most concerned about Ye Chu. Ye Chu was the first to go in to draw lots, and when she came out, she looked a little nervous. The comments section was full of speculation that Ye Chu might have drawn the undercover agent.

Lu Huaizhang also quietly said to Cheng Daiqing beside him, "Little Li is definitely an undercover agent! Let's vote for her first."

Cheng Daiqing looked at him as if he were an idiot: "If you want to vote, you vote yourself."

Shortly after, the identity slips were drawn, the scene changed, and everyone arrived in a bright and spacious studio. The host, Ah Xing, smiled and began explaining the rules of the first round of the game:

"The first round of the game - the truth and false intelligence station."

Eight guests took turns going on stage, and the host asked each guest three questions. The guests wrote their answers on a whiteboard in their hands. The other guests in the audience also wrote their answers on their whiteboards. The guest who was asked a question had to provide three hints related to the answer to the others and could not lie.

"For each correct answer from a guest in the audience, I will add one point; for each incorrect answer, I will deduct one point and give one point to the guest who was asked the question."

"After the game ends, the player with the highest total score will receive two clues related to the undercover agent."

Ah Xing winked and said, "In other words, for every guest who is misled into answering a question incorrectly, the person being asked the question can get an extra point! Doesn't that sound tempting?"

Lu Huaizhang lamented, "The Party and the nation are in grave danger!"

“The Ninth Bureau, which was already in disarray, is now completely crumbling.” Zheng Bohan gave Shi Shan a mocking look. Among everyone present, only he and Shi Shan were not members of the Ninth Bureau, so they could openly ridicule this precarious “last line of defense of the Party and the State.”

He Xi raised her hand: "What if the guests on stage deliberately give false information?"

Ah Xing said, "If that happens, everyone in the audience will get one point, while the guests on stage will lose seven points."

The order of appearance was also determined by drawing lots. Coincidentally, the first person to go on stage was Zheng Bohan, who had just been laughing the loudest.

The other seven people sat below the stage, holding their breath and waiting.

The host pressed a button on the remote control, and a line of large characters immediately appeared on the big screen behind Zheng Bohan:

Of all the actors you've worked with, who is the most memorable to you?

"It's an easy question right from the start," Zheng Bohan joked. "I feel like I don't even need to give any clues; everyone can guess what it is."

The comments section was buzzing with activity:

[Blind guess: Ye Chu.]

This episode was made specifically to promote "Tianban," and even a fool would think it's about Ye Chu.

No, I guess it's Li Yiming [funny]

[What an easy question...]

[It could also be Shi Shan. Zheng Bohan and Shi Shan have a good relationship.]

[Shi Shan isn't the main character; for promotional purposes, it'll definitely be Ye Chu.]

What are you all saying? [sweating] Shi Shan is definitely the main character; he was also the lead actor in the official announcement. [sweating]

[Such obscure knowledge...]

【ah? 】

No, I always thought Shi Shan was making a special appearance or a guest appearance.

[Haven't seen the opening theme? Shi Shan's name is right below Li Yiming's. If your eyesight isn't good, go get them treated.]

【Are you crazy? Who says you have to watch the entire opening theme song to watch a show? I watched it on Tuiqi Video, and Tuiqi has an automatic skip function for the opening and ending credits, so what?】

[His mouth is so foul that he even curses at strangers who ask him questions. I always said Shi Shan was just a supporting character, a supporting character, a supporting character, a guest appearance, a guest appearance, a guest appearance.]

[***Your mouth is the one that's full of ***, isn't it?]

Even if you were to become a ** (unclear - possibly a character name), Shi Shan wouldn't even be a supporting character.

[Hasn't Old Liquid Feces been fucked enough by Tiger Sister? He's making lewd comments in the live chat too?]

Seeing that the ivy was once again embroiled in a battle of words in the comments, Sun Xiaoxiao impatiently paused the playback and skillfully blocked and reported dozens of ivy users who were hurling insults. The comments section immediately became much quieter.

While the barrage of comments was raging, Zheng Bohan had already finished writing his answer on the whiteboard. After he finished, the host said, "Professor Zheng, you can give me a hint now."

Zheng Bohan made a thoughtful expression: "Hmm... let me think. The first clue is that this person is very young."

Lu Huaizhang retorted with dissatisfaction, "Hey, hey, hey! Commissioner Zheng, what's the definition of 'young'? Compared to me, you're still considered young!"

Zheng Bohan teased, "Anyway, he's younger than old fogies like me and you. Under thirty, is that enough this time?"

It really wasn't Shi Shan. Sun Xiaoxiao thought gleefully, "That old man Shi Shan probably smells like an old man."

"The second clue is that this person is very beautiful."

"What kind of hint is this?" Captain Chen exclaimed. "Everyone here is good-looking! Even the Director is handsome and still has a lot of charm!"

The still-charming Lu Huaizhang glanced at Captain Shen and said, "Captain Shen, I think demoting you to private isn't enough for you. I'll just demote you to private."

"Alright then." Zheng Bohan sighed helplessly. "I'll narrow down the third clue a bit: this person is an important character in 'The Tale of Clouds.' Is that alright?"

[Just name Ye Chu directly.]

Ye Chu is indeed quite pretty, so why don't I feel she's that beautiful while watching the drama?

[To fit the character's persona, she didn't wear much makeup in the drama. She wore makeup in the variety show.]

[In this show, it's all about theft and murder; who cares what she looks like? Death is all that matters! [laughing and crying emoji]]

[That makes perfect sense; thieves and undercover agents are best kept as inconspicuous as possible.]

[Yun Qing Ji is really good, it's my go-to show to watch while eating]

[I scrolled through the progress bar, and it really is Ye Chu. Zheng Bohan just wrote two characters.]

Ah Xing glanced at Zheng Bohan's answer board, blinked, and said, "Okay, now please write down your answers! After you've finished, I'll count to three, and everyone will raise their signs at the same time."

"one two three!"

The people in the room revealed their answers one after another.

Seven whiteboards, seven different fonts, all spelling out "Ye Chu"!

Zheng Bohan grinned, revealing a strange smile on his long face.

Ah Xing complained, "The question was a bit of a mistake, which ruined the show's effect."

Everyone laughed. Di Ting said, "I think it's actually quite effective. At least it reminded everyone that the hints shouldn't be too obvious."

Ah Xing shrugged: "Okay. So the result of this round is—"

"One point deducted from everyone! Teacher Zheng Bohan gets seven points! Let's give him a round of applause!"

"Gah, gah, gah, gah, gah..."

A flock of crows, leaving a trail of black dots, flew calmly across the silent scene.

Ah Xing burst into laughter, laughing so hard tears were almost streaming down his face: "Haha ...

Zheng Bohan glanced at everyone present and turned the mysterious whiteboard over—

[Su Ge].

Everyone stared in disbelief, except for Ye Chu, who suddenly exclaimed with a look of realization, "Teacher Zheng!!! You!"

Zheng Bohan said with a forced smile, "When I was filming 'Yun Qing Ji' with Su Ge, Su Ge's...emotional scenes left a deep impression on me. I have never met such an amazing actor."

The live chat exploded.

[This is insanely amazing...]

Is this implying that Su Ge's acting is bad?

Judging from Ye Chu's expression, she seemed to be holding it in so tightly she was about to suffer internal injuries.

Of everyone present, only Ye Chu knew what had happened.

[Urgent! Does the movie "Yun Qing Ji" have any uncut behind-the-scenes footage? Is it true that Su Ge made Zheng Bohan cry?]

[Holy crap, that's hilarious! That makes sense, though. Good actors are never as memorable as bad ones.]

[Ahhh, I can't take it anymore! There might be a few people with better acting skills than Ye Chu, but there's absolutely no one whose acting is worse than Su Ge's!]

[Su Ge actually beat Ye Chu in acting one day (just kidding)]

I believe it; I feel Zheng Bohan is telling the truth.

[This is more than just the truth; it feels like he's been harboring resentment for a long time.]

[As expected of Zheng Bohan, he fooled everyone, even the comments section.]

[For the rest of his life, Zheng Bohan would dream of Su Ge so much that he would get up and burn incense for a while.]

While the live chat was enthusiastically discussing Su Ge, Zheng Bohan had also finished answering the second question. The second question was relatively simple, asking "What is Zheng Bohan's favorite food?" All the guests present answered correctly without any hints. Zheng Bohan's favorite food is a type of bitter biscuit with a refreshing minty aroma, imported from abroad. You could find the wrappers of this biscuit in every trash can on set.

Ye Chu complained, "Once, I was hungry after filming late at night, so I asked Teacher Zheng for a piece. I took a bite and almost cried."

Ah Xing deliberately asked, "Is it that delicious?"

Ye Chu feigned a lingering fear: "Teacher Zheng kindly gave it to me, I can't just waste it, can I? The thought of having to eat the whole cookie scared me to tears."

The guests present burst into laughter, and Zheng Bohan even put on a hurt expression, as if saying, "Mortals cannot understand my taste": "Look, look, this is what you call heartless!"

The third question arose amidst this lighthearted atmosphere:

Who is the person you dislike the most in the entertainment industry?

The air paused for a moment.

The production team deliberately used Indian camera movement effects to give everyone present an expressive effect.

Zheng Bohan was shocked: "This will offend people! Can I just abstain and give back those seven points to everyone?"

Ah Xing said cruelly, "No."

Zheng Bohan had no choice but to lower his head and slowly write down the answer.

I sensed an awkward atmosphere.

[The coffin platform is still so inhumane, ugh, this kind of question is really hard to answer.]

If I actually answer, you'll be unhappy.

I've thought of a name, but I won't say who it is.
