The Long-awaited Mr Han

However, after experiencing so many terrifying events. What else could they not believe?

So, when they heard what Xie Jiling said, they took it seriously.

"Don't worry. If you can resolve this, we will definitely pay you within the time stated in the contract," Yu Yuexin said.

Xie Jiling nodded and said, "Alright. Now that we have talked about the terms and conditions, it's time for us to talk about the serious matters."

"However, you two have to cooperate," Xie Jiling said.

Li Yisi hugged herself and said, "How… how should we cooperate?"

"And now, you can turn on your phones. Don't be scared if you see the notification. Just click it. Then, share the app with me, and I will play with you guys."

"Just choose to say the truth. As long as you answer the truth, there will be no problem. Just answer honestly." Xie Jiling said.

"Don't worry. Just honestly answer the system's question. I won't tell another soul."

Xie Jiling said bluntly, "We don't know each other very well as well. You don't have to worry about my opinions toward you two."

"In times like this when your lives are at stake, you mustn't hide any secrets. Of course, after you leave this room, you should never talk about this game of Truth or Dare anymore," Xie Jiling said.

Yu Yuexin hesitated and asked, "Do we have to participate? Even if you told me that I would be fine as long as I remained honest, I'm still scared."

Li Yisi nodded at the side.

"If you don't participate, how do you intend to lure that thing here?" Xie Jiling said.

"Are you going to be paranoid about this for the rest of your life?" Xie Jiling asked, "Moreover, what if the system sentenced you to death because you didn't answer? By then, you won't know when your death will arrive."

"You might as well participate. Just tell the truth, and that will guarantee that your life will be safe. As for me, I will keep lying, and whatever it is, it can come for me."

"I will be responsible for luring that thing out," Xie Jiling said, "I can't risk your lives. I do need to lure it out, but I can't risk your lives. This is the only option."

"But we can't just do nothing and just wait," Xie Jiling concluded.

"But… but I'm still scared…" Li Yisi said in fear.

"I promise you that you will be fine." Xie Jiling said, "But if you refuse to cooperate, I can't help you."

"I can give you time to think about this." Xie Jiling said, "I just don't know how much time the system will give you."

Xie Jiling said and stood up. She said to Yu Yuexin, "We are in the same school. If you don't dare to turn on your phone, you know where to find me."

When Yu Yuexin saw that Xie Jiling was leaving, she started panicking.

As of now, they had no other choice but to listen to Xie Jiling.

"Don't… don't leave!" Yu Yuexin quickly stopped Xie Jiling and said, "I… I will listen to you…"

Yu Yuexin cried in fear, "You made a promise. You will protect me, and nothing will happen to me…"

When Li Yisi saw that Yu Yuexin had agreed, she realized that she had no choice but to agree as well.

Li Yisi cried as she asked, "You… you have real skills, right? You're not lying to us, right? Our lives are in your hands. Don't… don't kill us…"

Actually, anyone in the right mind would know that Xie Jiling could answer this question however she liked.

There was no evidence. Even if Xie Jiling said she was capable, it wouldn't actually mean it was true.

However, Li Yisi was just looking for comfort.

"I promise." Xie Jiling said.

It could have been because she said this in such an overly confident rather than in a prideful tone.

She seemed like she was just stating facts.

So, Li Yisi felt less worried.

Yu Yuexin and her then agreed to turn on their phones at the same time.

As expected, the moment they restarted their phones, even before the phone started getting reception, the notification had already popped up on the phone screen.

Unexpectedly, it was just as what Li Yisi had guessed.

There was another line of words on the notification. Today was the last day.

If they didn't enter the game before midnight tonight, the system would automatically consider that they forfeited the game and death would then come to them within twenty-four hours.

Yu Yuexin and Li Yisi felt fortunate that they had turned on their phones.

The two entered the game and noticed three people in the room of the game.

They didn't know those three people.

Yu Yuexin couldn't bother to ask those three how they had entered the game.

She first shared the app with Xie Jiling.

Xie Jiling then entered the room.

When Yu Yuexin and Li Yisi saw that Xie Jiling was now in the room, they felt more at ease.

"Are these three the three girls who played the game with you?" Xie Jiling asked Yu Yuexin when she saw the three.

"It's not them. I don't know these three," Yu Yuexin said.

For more convenient gameplay, the game allowed voice calls.

Xie Jiling then said, "Can you give me the right to the room?"

It didn't matter to the players. Xie Jiling soon got the right to the room.

"The game is starting." someone urged.

"No rush." Xie Jiling said, "I just wanted to know how you found out about this game?"

"Someone shared it with us." a random person answered.

Xie Jiling immediately asked, "Who shared it with you?"

"My friend."

The other two also said that their friends had shared it with them.

Xie Jiling thought about it and remembered that Yu Yuexin had been the one to receive the invitation first.

She then asked, "Was Pei Chuyao the one who shared it with you?"

"Eh? Do you know her?" One of them answered in surprise. "She was the one who shared it with me. She told me to play the game. However, she told me that I must tell the truth if I were to choose truth and that I must complete the requested task if I were to choose dare."

"I must tell the truth, and I must take the dare seriously," the person said.

Xie Jiling's heart sank.

Li Yisi was terrified. "How could she do that?! She is bringing harm to people!"

The three other players in the game thought it was weird.

This was just a game. How was that bringing harm?

Xie Jiling said, "Maybe that's how the game got more players."

"What… what does that mean?" Yu Yuexin asked puzzledly.

"How did Pei Chuyao receive this in the first place? Her friend must have sent it to her. I guess the game increases its users by forcing the survivors of the game to share the game with the next person."

"She would only survive by doing that. If not, she would die."

Xie Jiling said coldly, "It's like those curse messages, saying that the person who sees this message has to share this message with a certain number of people. If not, you would experience unlucky things or your family would get cursed."

"Those messages are fake, but many people still think of it as unlucky, so they share it to make sure they won't attract bad luck."
