Three Questions

Is she looking at me?

It didn't just look; it grabbed my wrist!

But wait, I haven't deactivated my invisibility yet... How did she...?

No, it's over now. The moment his wrist was grabbed, Luo Jun had already exited stealth mode and revealed his true form as Great Shaman.

"You've arrived?"

The bride, seeing the "Great Shaman" before her, showed no surprise. She slowly sat up, a smile on her face, "I knew you'd come. You already suspected me during the day, didn't you...? I thought you'd come and ask me again tomorrow. I didn't expect you to be so hasty, sneaking into a girl's room in the middle of the night. That's not very polite at all."

"You... know who I am?!" Luo Jun touched his face, confirming that he was indeed in the form of Great Shaman.

"You've changed your appearance, but you can't change your smell..." The bride patted the edge of the bed. "Sit down and talk."

"No, thank you..." Luo Jun moved a chair over. "I'll sit here."

"Are you still embarrassed?" the bride laughed. "Haven't you had much time alone with other girls before?"

"I'm not even sure if you're a girl right now." Luo Jun said with suspicion, but he had already prepared for the worst.

"Because my goal isn't just to catch the murderer." Luo Jun looked into the bride's eyes. "I also want to know the truth."

After so much training, Luo Jun, who possessed seven layers of the Body Tempering Art and nearly two hundred points of Strength attribute, was confident that unless his opponent was a Ascension True Immortal, even if he couldn't defeat him, he could at least escape.

Luo Jun thought to himself, "I didn't gather enough information during the day, otherwise I would have had the Fifth Elder deal with you then and there."

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if he could fool this woman by wearing the Midnight Mask.

"Since you could tell I suspected you during the day, why didn't you leave?" Luo Jun asked. "With the way you saw through my invisibility and grabbed my wrist, you think you could leave? The guards here couldn't stop you at all."

"That's so hurtful to hear..." The bride pouted, feigning grievance, and looked quite pitiful.

"What would constitute satisfaction?" Luo Jun asked. "And how can I be sure your answer is true and you're not lying to me?"

"You could say that," the bride smiled brightly. "Similarly, whether you attend or not is entirely up to you."

"What do you mean by saying my scent hasn't changed?" Luo Jun remained completely unmoved, only asking the question that concerned him.

This eerie feeling left Luo Jun uncertain whether what was in front of him was "she," "he," or "it"...

"I should have perfectly imitated the Great Shaman by now."

"Well, I'm sorry..." The bride tapped her cheek with her finger, "Besides a verbal promise, I can't give you any additional guarantees."

However, since the other party did not show any hostility, Luo Jun did not mind talking... But if he sensed any danger, he would react immediately.

Luo Jun frowned. "Doesn't that mean whether I can get the truth depends entirely on your mood?"

Luo Jun looked at the bride, then considered the three Dice Opportunity he still had left.

"Go ahead and ask."

"And what about you?" the bride retorted. "Since you already suspect me, why don't you tell the Fifth Elder? Knowing his ways, even without solid evidence, as long as his suspicions are reasonable, he will use every means to deal with me and dig out my hidden secrets."

"How about this, let's play a Game. I'll ask you a question, and if I'm satisfied with your answer, you can ask me a question, and I'll answer it for you."

"I like that look in your eyes, so eager for the truth." The bride smiled slightly. "Judging from your expression, you must have already deduced quite a bit of information."

Clearly, this woman was no ordinary person. At this moment, she gave Luo Jun a feeling that was difficult to describe in words. This was not because of the bride's demeanor, actions, words, or other superficial things, but rather because of something that Luo Jun instinctively sensed through his Perception Ability, which was dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people.

"The scent I'm talking about isn't the kind you smell with your nose." The bride smiled and shook her head. "Everyone in this world is unique. No matter how you imitate or what methods you use, you can never completely replace someone, and everyone has qualities that no one else can have. I can tell."

The bride smiled slightly, "How did you discover that the Great Shaman had been poisoned?"

The bride has been here the whole time. Given her abilities, even without leaving the house, she should have noticed that the Fifth Elder had begun inspecting the tableware and food at the wedding banquet.

Luo Jun looked at the bride and said, "It was the Fifth Elder who discovered it... I'm not familiar with the toxins of Southern Borderlands, but I noticed something unusual about the Great Shaman's hair."

The bride nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed, the effects of the Immortal's Intoxication can even be felt after death... Now it's your turn to ask."

Luo Jun looked at the bride, his mind already activating the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

"Ask the right questions!"

Two pairs of dice are rolled. One pair shows 51, and the other shows... 2.

Bad luck, but I can only choose 51. I can't afford to have a Great Failure.

"Ding, Event Difficulty 51 points, Final Points 51 + 5 points, Event Success."

It worked?!

Luo Jun was slightly surprised. The Event Difficulty 51 points, which meant it was exactly halfway there. Could it be that this woman really did answer questions based on her mood, just as he claimed?

But now that he had succeeded, Luo Jun wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

After considering it for a moment, he decided to ask the most crucial question:

Who was the murderer who killed the Great Shaman?

"You're really direct... You want the final answer so quickly? Looks like you don't really enjoy playing with me." After hearing the question, the bride gave Luo Jun a reproachful look and said, "But I'll naturally abide by the Game Rules I set. The answer is..."

"Those who wish him dead!"

What kind of answer is this? Luo Jun narrowed his eyes. A murderer is someone who wants the victim to die, isn't that obvious? But thinking about it from another angle, the dice roll determined that this was the correct answer, so it's not wrong.

Luo Jun felt it would be very difficult to get information out of this woman, and he had a feeling that he had been tricked.

"My turn," the bride asked with a smile. "So, have you figured out how the Great Shaman was poisoned?"

Luo Jun frowned, then said, "Wasn't it at the banquet? I've already asked the Fifth Elder to investigate."

"You really think so?" The bride's face showed a slight disappointment.

Of course not... Luo Jun answered this way because he was worried that the bride would destroy the evidence after she found out that the Great Shaman's lips had a problem, so he pretended to be stupid.

"Is there some other hidden story?" Luo Jun asked, feigning surprise.

"Is this your next question?" the bride asked with a smile.

"Uh... no..." Luo Jun hurriedly shook his head, "Let me think about the next question."

At the same time, he activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind.

"Ask the right questions."

"Event Difficulty 82, Final Points 44+5, Event Failed!"

Today's been a bit unlucky... Luo Jun frowned. Two consecutive judgments and four dice rolls had yielded no high numbers... Moreover, judging from the soaring difficulty, the bride was clearly not satisfied with his answer and didn't really want to tell the truth.

However, Luo Jun was prepared for the possibility of failure.

Was the man in black that everyone saw a real, living True Person?

Whether the man in black was summoned by the bride is a crucial part of Luo Jun's deduction. The reason this question is placed here is because it can only be answered with a yes or no. Even if the bride deliberately answers incorrectly, he can still deduce the truth!

"Of course it is," the bride laughed. "What else could it be?"

Sure enough, it wasn't True Person! This proves my reasoning was correct! At least the general direction was right!

Luo Jun understood the situation and smiled slightly, "Go ahead and ask."

The bride looked at Luo Jun: "You seem quite smug? Did you deliberately answer my question wrong just now?"

"Is this your next question?" Luo Jun countered.

"Of course not..." The bride pouted, then her eyes darted around, and she lightly touched her lips with her finger. "My next question... what should I ask... Oh, right!"

Seemingly having thought of a very interesting topic, she suddenly leaned closer to Luo Jun, her eyes wide, and asked:

What's your zodiac sign?
