That answer was far too shocking.
Like Chen Xiao Qiu, I'd thought Zhang and the others had played Truth or Dare last night and were now making up for it.
It wasn't an unreasonable guess.
We'd only just learned about the game when we heard one after another about people dying in bizarre ways. Zhang had rushed over to confess to Guo Yujie, and then there was everything he'd said on the phone just now. It was no wonder we'd made that connection. In fact, it was only natural.
Chen Xiao Qiu had been a little abrupt to ask outright, but at most she'd been a bit rash.
She hadn't expected Zhang to say that, and neither had I. Judging by the looks on the Thin Man and the other two's faces, they clearly hadn't expected to hear that answer either.
It seemed Zhang had finally put two and two together. His eyes nearly lit up. "Why are you asking that? You know too? Do you all know? Did you hear something? Did you see the post on Moments?"
Zhang's words surprised me again.
"What post?" Chen Xiao Qiu frowned.
The Thin Man had already pulled out his phone to check Moments. A moment later, he let out a startled cry.
He showed us his phone.
Sure enough, there was a reposted message on Moments warning people not to play Truth or Dare. Many people had already fallen victim. Those who failed to complete a dare or tell the truth had suffered unimaginable punishments, dying gruesome deaths on the spot.
The person who'd posted the original message seemed to have witnessed one such incident firsthand. They'd used a sensational headline, repeating the warning not to play at the start before describing how they'd gone to a gathering with coworkers yesterday
