Chapter 233: Truth or Dare (1)

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

Hannie jumped into the air, lifting her heels from the ground. Using the momentum, she swung a black pipe downward. It hit the ground with a dull heavy metallic thud. Crooked cracks appeared on the hard concrete floor immediately and pieces broken concrete and dust filled the air. The very moment before, Rena leaped away and nearly lost her balance when she landed. When she looked down at her feet, she realized that the attack from Hannie had wreaked half the side of her shoes. If she was only half a second late, that black metal pipe would have landed on her feet.

A sudden fury rose from the teenage girl’s heart.

“Hey, you aren’t slow at dodging,” Hannie flashed a smile with her red lips. She looked at Rena as if she was looking at a person’s whose fate was already sealed. Hannie pulled the metal pipe from the ground nimbly and also stood straight. Tear. She tore off her mini skirt. Rena only realized then that Hannie had been wearing skintight shorts under her mini skirt all along. The black material had a sheen and looked very elastic. From the looks of it, Hannie was secretly prepared to fight all along.

“Why are these people spending so much effort to kill a few strangers? What would they get from this?” Rena thought to herself and wiped her face with the back of her hand. She could feel the space between her eyebrows twitching. In her fourteen and a half years, this was the first time she was fighting a really strong foe.

After they exchanged quite a few blows, it seemed as though neither Hannie nor Rena had an upper hand. However, after Rena used her [No depiction of body parts below the neck] consecutively for a few times, her opponent had already figured out Rena’s usual tactics. At the start, Hannie had no choice but to use her arm to block once. After that, she managed to evade all the attacks from Rena and was not injured even the slightest.

In contrast, Hannie had not even shown any hint of activating her ability. Using only a weapon, Hannie had forced Rena to retreat backward. And, now, Hannie had even ruined Rena’s shoe. Rena bit her lip and kicked off her pair of shoes, which she had gotten from one of the local shops. She stepped on the hard cold ground with her white socks, feeling somewhat worried.

Hannie probably had way more combat experience than her. This was the first time she was fighting alone, without her brother and Lin Sanjiu. contemporary romance

“I tired of playing with you, little girl,” Hannie suddenly broke into a smile. Her black metal pipe, which was almost 2 meters long, made a swooshing sound as she spun it few times in her hand, creating a blurred circular shadow, making it hard to see the pipe’s original form. “Just be a good girl and die. You’ll suffer less that way!”

The woman’s sharp voice drew close to Rena abruptly. Hannie had suddenly appeared in front of the teenage girl. Stirring wind as she swung her black pipe, Hannie aimed her attack at Rena’s neck.

If her attack hit its target, Rena’s neck would have ended up like her shoes.

Rena panicked and quickly retaliated with her [No depiction of body parts below the neck] while she stooped down and tried to create some distance between Hannie and herself.

Hannie’s black pipe swept noisily past Rena’s head, touching her hair. Maintaining her fight stance, Hannie managed to dodge Rena’s attack by just shifting her body. While Rena was silently atonished by this, she was shocked when she realized Hannie was hovering above her.

It was too late. Rena couldn’t change the direction of her movement. Rena felt her back touching Hannie’s palm almost like a self-delivered gift. She immediately felt the warmth from Hannie’s hand on her body. Meanwhile, Hannie threw away the black pipe far away. It fell on the ground not far from them. At the same time, Hannie erupted into a series of sharp laughter and Rena finally heard the woman saying, “[Truth or Dare], activate!”

Rena finally realized what had happened and she felt her heart sinking.

Even though Hannie used that black pipe with impressive finesse, she wouldn’t be able to cause any fatal damage with it when fighting with posthumans with enhanced physical attributes. Therefore, it was only used as artiful deception.

Similiar to her boots, Hannie could create such deceptions which diverted attention with ease. Rena realized that Hannie probably needed to touch her target to activate that [Truth or Dare] ability, and therefore the woman needed to create a false impression that she was a fighter type. When her opponents fall for her deception and focused instead on defending themselves against her physical attack, that was the best time for her to strike.

[Truth or Dare]

This is a party game popular among middle school students and alcoholics with a twist. The ability user would start first, dictating if the target would need to answer a question truthfully, or performing a “dare”. The target must then execute accordingly. During the game, both ability user and target cannot attack each other. Disregarding this rule would result in a random punishment. Regardless of the choice made, the target must answer truthfully or successfully perform the dare, otherwise, the person posing the question would gain a chance to attack the target. During this chance, the target would be forced to endure the attack without dodging or countering.

Of course, in this world, there isn’t such an unfair one-sided advantage. After the target completes three requests, the roles would switch. Thereafter, the game would take a normal turn-based format. So, dear ability user, please take full advantage of the first three turns before the ability move toward the fair gameplay.

The question poser can choose any question to ask, however, the “dares” are automatically generated by the ability.

PS: This ability creates opportunities for players to flirt around in the name of the game.

Hannie narrowed her eyes. She tapped her red lips lightly with her long fingernail. Rena and Hannie stood three to four meters away from each other. None of them dared to move unnecessarily.

“What should I choose…” Hannie appeared very pleased with the current situation as she gave a satisfied sigh, “This moment always feels so good. It’s addictive.”

Rena could hear her own heart pounding loudly. She bit her lips hard.

“Should I ask a question? What should I ask?” Hannie really toying with her prey, like a cat toying with a mouse. She liked it so much that she even felt a little reluctant to pose the first request, “Should I… ask you where your brother is hiding?”

Before Rena could say “in your dreams”, the woman in front of her waved her hands. “Oh, but I am not at all interested in knowing where he is. For now, getting you is enough.”

While Rena was caught off guard by Hannie’s “getting you is enough” comment, and was wondering what she meant, the woman’s voice suddenly spoke in a mechanical and flat voice. Her [Truth or Dare] ability announced using her mouth, “Dare 1: Get a phone number from a duoluozhong in Kisaragi Station 1 .”
