Chapter 209: Chapter 147 Lack of Love_2

"No."

It was again related to Will’s girlfriend...

Next up was Huo Yan Luo.

"Why did you divorce your husband?"

Huo Yan Luo calmly said, "He cheated."

It was again related to Huo Yan Luo’s marriage...

"Do you have any special feelings for any individual of any gender around you?"

Jiang Wuming raised an eyebrow, "Special feelings meaning...?"

"Like, love, those kinds of feelings."

"In that case, no."

"Oh, are you also a pure lover warrior?" Stanley was surprised, "Out of these five, there are actually three pure lover warriors. Are all the good men in Night City gathered here? How rare!"

"Next question."

"Have you ever had the urge to kill a life form that destroys the environment?"

Bai Lang nodded, "Yes, and I have actually done it."

Finally, it was Zhou Yuan’s turn again.

The audience let out a series of boos because Zhou Yuan’s questions were always dull, probably because he was a plant by the organizers, who naturally didn’t deserve any respect.

"Audience, don’t get anxious! This time, the question has a bit of a change!"

Stanley said excitedly, "Please tell us a secret that no one else knows!"

A secret... Zhou Yuan paused, "I secretly browsed the Snake Clear website three nights ago and saw a friend’s work on it."

He twisted the truth a bit; what he actually saw was a Liu Bei story written by Chen Guangxi.

"Whoa!" Stanley’s eyes widened immediately, "That’s quite a coincidence, maybe your friend is watching the live stream! Hey, friend, remember to delete the video!"

Then he whispered to Zhou Yuan, "Send me a copy after the show."

The audience burst into boos again.

The fourth round of Q&A ended, moving into the fifth round.

And the following questions were indeed as Zhou Yuan had anticipated.

The questions for Will were always related to his girlfriend.

"Would you agree if your girlfriend invited you to a group activity?" "If your mom and your girlfriend fell into the water, who would you save first?" "Have you ever cheated on your partner, emotionally or physically?"...

Questions for Huo Yan Luo were about her marriage.

"Have you ever thought about killing your cheating husband?" "Do you think your husband’s cheating was your fault?" "Have you ever cheated, physically or emotionally?"...

Questions for Jiang Wuming were quite miscellaneous.

"Do you feel burdened by many heavy responsibilities?" "At this moment, is there something you would sacrifice your life for?" "Do you like cilantro?"...

Questions for Bai Lang mainly focused on environmental protection, but there were other questions too.

"Are you willing to sacrifice your life to protect the environment?" "Have you ever polluted the environment?" "Have you ever looked down on any of the guests here?"...

As for Zhou Yuan...

"Do you prefer cats or dogs?"

"Do you prefer mature women or young girls?"

"Do you prefer cold and aloof mature women or warm and mature women?"

"Do you prefer strong or weak personalities?"

After a series of questions, except for Zhou Yuan, everyone else had a sullen look on their faces.

Though no one would break down over this, it still left them a bit annoyed.

"Finally, our ’Truth or Dare’ has reached the final round! Guests, once you endure this round, you’ll win a grand reward, hang in there!"

Stanley cheered passionately, and the audience followed with screams and shouts.

He immediately drew a card with a question, smiled mysteriously, and said to Will:

"Your real name is Will Mont, a green-skinned Beastman, a Level 4 extraordinary being, who possesses the rare power of [My Reflection], correct?"

In the silence, Will’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Zhou Yuan and the others were also stunned, how did Yi know this?

Will quickly composed himself and nodded, "Yes."

"Your real name is Huo Yan Luo, a deity, a Level 7 extraordinary being, a direct descendant of the Fire God, correct?"

"Yes." Huo Yan Luo squinted her eyes, slightly straightened up, ready for a fight.

"Your real name is Jiang Wuming, a human, a Level 2 extraordinary being, who lost someone you loved in an accident and became cursed with a terrible misfortune, facing endless deaths but also infinite resurrection, correct?"

I’m clearly a Level 3 now... Jiang Wuming mused, those details definitely didn’t come from the earlier questions.

"Yes."

"Your real name is Bai Lang, a True Dragon, a Level 6 extraordinary being, the lord of the dragon palace, correct?"

"Correct."

Finally, Stanley looked at Zhou Yuan:

"Your real name is not Wang Zhen, that’s your false identity. In reality, you are someone who deeply lacks love, so you like pure love and want to be loved.

So you prefer dogs, because dogs can act as companions, providing a sense of mutual companionship and support. The loyalty, friendliness, and liveliness of dogs often attract those who lack love.

So you prefer strong and mature women. Such women usually appear mature, steady, and reliable, making those who lack love feel secure and receive more care and support. Moreover, these types of women often have a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, like sunshine illuminating the gloom of life, thus being more favored by those who lack love.

Am I right?"

Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded, how could so much be inferred from just a few questions? If you ask a few more, will you strip off my disguise and lay me bare?

"You’re right," he sighed.

"Uh..." Jiang Wuming seemed to think of something at this moment, looking at Zhou Yuan differently.

Wang Zhen, could he... really?

Huo Yan Luo also had a different look in her eyes. She perfectly fit those characteristics, but she was an old hand and knew that "Wang Zhen" only looked at her with pure admiration, not as a scoundrel who loves married women.

She was surprised that Yi could infer "Wang Zhen’s" psychological deficiencies from just those questions. Was the other person really just a teenage girl? Weiwei didn’t seem so sharp.

Could mechanization turn someone into a super robot like Terminator or Skynet?

"So, have we passed?" Zhou Yuan ignored Jiang Wuming’s odd look, seemingly asking Stanley, but actually questioning Yi.

Click.

The screen went black, and the broadcast studio disappeared. The lights in the villa’s living room brightened, gradually restoring its original appearance.

Yi’s cold, mechanical voice came from the broadcast.

"Congratulations, you have passed all the tests."

"Weiwei, bring them to the lab."

"Okay."

Weiwei, who had been watching the show on the sofa, nodded, jumped up, and called to the group, "Follow me."

The group exchanged glances—proceed with caution!

The information just now definitely wasn’t obtained through those questions alone.

Considering that quite a few extraordinary beings had recently disappeared in Night City...

Maybe some of those missing people were kidnapped by Yi and provided all the information about them.

That’s why the questions for "Wang Zhen" were so simple since he had recently risen as a new extraordinary being of low rank, with almost no public knowledge about him, and quite a few people didn’t even know about him.

With little intelligence, it’s naturally impossible to craft targeted questions.

When Stanley mentioned that Jiang Wuming was a Level 2 extraordinary being, they were almost certain of this fact—Jiang Wuming had recently advanced to Level 3, but not many knew, so he was still viewed as a Level 2 by most.

The source of the information was clear.
