Chapter 55 - Truths and Lies

'The Lie Fruit doesn't just tell lies.'

'Don't believe in the Forest of Lies.'

'Five clues are needed to get the location of the Truth Fruit.'

'Welcome to the Forest of Lies.'

After arranging the four known hidden clues, Su Yu was thoughtful. He thought for a while and turned on the light screen rules again.

From the first rule, to the last one, and from the last one, to the first one, after repeating several times, his sight finally fixed on the second rule... Su Yu's thoughts were still in a mess. These hidden clues could not be useless, but he could not find the key point and could not connect them all.

However, he felt that... he seemed to have gained an unexpected reward.

②: Telling lies is not allowed in the Forest of Lies. Violators will be warned, those with serious circumstances will be eliminated.

Staring at this explicit rule, Su Yu suddenly remembered something, it was this thing that made him look at this rule, the more he looked at it, the more strange it felt... Is this a BUG ma?

"Contestant Su Yu, is there wrong ma?" Fenyu Xue followed quietly. Su Yu didn't speak, so she didn't speak either. It wasn't until Su Yu turned on the rule screen and continued to stare at the rules that she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Su Yu shook his head and turned off the screen. He didn't say his guess. After all, it was just a guess. He wanted to do a few experiments first and make a decision after he was completely sure.

"Let's go ba. We are still missing a hidden clue."

According to Su Yu's idea, he was going to pick a lie fruit as before, then find a contestant, let the other party eat it, and ask for the hidden clue. But he didn't expect that he picked the lie fruit, but the contestant he met was the one who reminded him that the lie fruit could be eaten.

With Northfield's perception, he had already noticed that two people were walking towards him. He wanted to take a detour, but found that one of them was Su Yu. His footsteps paused slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, he didn't know what kind of mentality he had. He gave up the idea of ​​changing the route and continued to move forward. In this way, it was natural for the two sides to meet.

Don't want to see Su Yu's defensive and vigilant look again. In order to avoid this, when Northfield walked to a certain place, he stood still. This was a safe position that would not make Su Yu feel threatened. He nodded slightly to the other party. For some reason, he felt inexplicably nervous. Fortunately, he disguised himself very well and greeted him naturally: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Can only say that Northfield's estimated distance in his heart was very accurate. He did step on a position that would not make Su Yu defensive, but was not far from Su Yu.

It was slightly different from the first meeting. The situation at this time did not make Su Yu feel threatened. He noticed that he had a strange emotion. Why... When he saw this Northfield, he felt close to him and repelled him at the same time?

Let's not talk about why two mutually exclusive emotions arose at the same time. The problem is that he didn't know this person at all. Where did these two emotions come from? There was no reason at all.

Disturbed by these two emotions, Su Yu did not respond immediately, but stared at Northfield a few more times with a strange look, and the latter, not only did not feel angry, but even slightly adjusted his facial expression, smiling more perfectly.

This smile made Fenyu Xue's scalp numb, her whole face turned pale. If she turned back to her original flower form, she might be able to perform a withering on the spot. She remembered one thing, Su Yu was an Earth contestant, and Earth civilization had just joined the Interstellar Alliance not long ago, so he might not understand the Interstellar Alliance... but she did a!

Su Yu could not be allowed to stare at Northfield like this again. If the other party got angry, Su Yu would die! Fenyu Xue mustered up the courage and stretched out her slightly trembling hand. She wanted to pull the corner of Su Yu's clothes to remind him, but as soon as she did this, Northfield's eyes fell on her inadvertently. The courage she had accumulated with great difficulty dissipated instantly, and the hand she stretched out was quickly retracted as if it had been electrocuted.

Fenyu Xue's action still made a little noise, successfully calling Su Yu's attention back.

Seeing this, Northfield's smile faded a little. He looked at Fenyu Xue with an unclear expression, causing her to shudder. Then he looked at Su Yu and asked in a slow voice: "Is this your teammate?"

"Yes." Su Yu nodded and answered casually. He wanted to leave quickly.

This time he did not feel threatened by Northfield, but he still did not want to have too much contact with this person. There were two reasons. The first was that Northfield's strength was above his. Su Yu could not guarantee the stability of the other party and his own safety, so avoiding him was the best policy. As for the other point, it was because of the two inexplicable emotions in his heart. It was not disgust, but it just felt a little strange.

[Shocked me, does this Earth contestant know who is talking to him?]

[Maybe he should not know, otherwise he would not have this attitude, unless he is not afraid of death.]

[That why, I think Lord Northfield is a little strange, don't you think so ma?]

[Don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that Northfield is trying to talk to this Earth contestant, and this Earth contestant doesn't want to pay attention to him... This idea is too terrible, who can wake me up from my illusion?]

"Excuse me, can I join your team ma?" Northfield.

Su Yu didn't expect Northfield to suddenly say this, and couldn't help but remain silent.

After a long time without a reply, Northfield also became silent. Su Yu's attitude was the best answer. This was already a very obvious rejection. He didn't know why he did this, and he didn't want to think about this problem for the time being. He only knew that Su Yu's rejection made him feel depressed.

Restraining his lost mood, Northfield said: "I'm very sorry, I'm presumptuous."

"Do you have hidden clues ma?" Su Yu suddenly asked.

Northfield paused slightly: "Hidden clues ma? Yes, I do."

"Maybe we can make a deal." Su Yu said.

Northfield agreed, then the three of them went together to the Lake of Lies. After a lie was told, the familiar white mist filled the three people. When it dispersed, a lake appeared in front of them.

"Why are you back again, adventurer?" The lake made a sound.

Su Yu stepped forward: "I want to ask about the location of the Truth Fruit."

This time, the Lake of Lies did not evade the location of the Truth Fruit as before, but thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I can tell you the location of the Truth Fruit, but you have to use hidden clues in exchange."

"Is one hidden clue enough?" Su Yu asked.

The Lake of Lies said: "Yes."

"Then will you tell me the real location ma?" Su Yu asked again.

The Lake of Lies said without hesitation: "Of course, I won't lie. I hate lying the most."

Su Yu's eyes moved slightly. All creatures in the Forest of Lies lied all the time. This reminded him of the clues obtained by Fenyu Xue. The sentence 'Don't believe in the Forest of Lies' seemed to be warning the contestants about this. Then there was a discord. The Truth Fruit also belonged to the Forest of Lies.

"Adventurer, tell me the clues you got ba." Lake of Lies urged.

Su Yu told the Lake of Lies the five clues he knew in turn. The last clue was given by Northfield on his own initiative when he came here. His reason was very appropriate. He wanted to get the location of the Truth Fruit and hoped that they could give him two out of five identification opportunities of the Truth Fruit. This request was not excessive, and Su Yu agreed.

"One of the Truth Fruits is in the center of the forest, next to the magician's house." Lake of Lies said.

Northfield, the only one who knew where the magician's house was, was destined to take the responsibility of leading the way.

On the way to find the truth fruit, Su Yu remained silent. Northfield's eyes would occasionally fall on him. Fortunately, Fenyu Xue also looked at Su Yu from time to time, and her behavior was more frequent than Northfield, which made Northfield's gaze seem less abrupt and strange, and did not attract Su Yu's attention.

Next to the magician's house, the direction is very clear, there is no need to worry about finding the wrong truth fruit.

The unripe truth fruit and the unripe lie fruit are almost exactly the same, there is no difference, at least it cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. In this regard, the Lake of Lies did not a lie? Is it that it can't lie on the key point? Or is it that it don't need to lie on this point? Or is it that it is used to speaking half-truths and half-lies?

"This is the truth fruit a, it really looks like the lie fruit." Fenyu Xue looked at it eagerly. This is an important prop for passing the game.

Hearing this, Su Yu looked at Fenyu Xue.

"Wh...what's wrong?" Fenyu Xue asked cautiously. Did she say something wrong ma?

Su Yu asked: "How did you know that the truth fruit and the lie fruit look exactly the same?"

"..." Behind this question, there was a lot of tears and shame for Fenyu Xue, but since Su Yu asked, she had to answer: "Those lie fruits told me... Two or three said so." Yes, more than one, she was fooled by many lie fruits! Fenyu Xue burst into tears when she thought about it. What kind of magical creatures are these in the Rosa civilization? There are so many plants in their Loran civilization, but there is no such thing as one's mouth full of lies a!

"I know about this too." Northfield casually interrupted the topic.

Su Yu glanced at him. The three of them learned the same news. One thing can be confirmed. This is not accidental. It should be fixed information that cannot lie. It is different from the hidden clues that need to eat the lie fruit to get it. This should be a hidden clue that is exposed on the surface. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why this is forced.

'Welcome to the Forest of Lies. Don't believe in the Forest of Lies.'

'The lie fruits are not all lies. Sometimes they tell the truth.'

Su Yu had a guess in his mind. If it came true, he could pass the level tonight. This guess might be a bit bold, so he planned to wait and try it with double insurance.

Before the night came, the truth fruit matured. It gently greeted Su Yu and the other two: "Hello a, three adventurers, is there anything I can help you with ma?"

"Yes! Can you help us identify the authenticity of the lie fruit ma?" Fenyu Xue said excitedly.

The truth fruit smiled: "Of course, I can help you identify the authenticity of five lie fruits."

"How can we take you to identify ne?" Fenyu Xue asked.

Truth fruit: "Just pick me is fine."

Northfield was the tallest among the three. He stepped forward to pick the truth fruit, but did not take it himself. Instead, he came to Su Yu and handed the truth fruit to Su Yu.

Su Yu did not accept the thruth fruit, but said, "I'm leaving for a while." If his guess came true, no matter which method he used, he could pass the game tonight. According to past experience, passing the game means leaving the game, so he must go to collect the scattered Zergs and medium-level Zerg base.

"Do you need help ma?" Northfield wanted to ask Su Yu where he was going, but after all, he and Su Yu did not know each other, they were not even a team, but just a cooperation between the two sides. After thinking about it, he could only express it in a tactful way.

"No, thank you, please wait a moment, I will be back soon." Su Yu did not hesitate.

Northfield did not stop him and could not stop him eighter. He could only watch Su Yu leave. Fenyu Xue moved her body silently, trying to move as far away from Northfield as possible. She...she did not want to be with this killer.

"Am I very scary ma?" Northfield suddenly asked.

Now there are only two people left here. Anyone who asks this question will know it. Fenyu Xue choked up: "No, you are very gentle and kind..." She said this answer against her conscience.

Northfield didn't mean anything, nor was he trying to intimidate Fenyu Xue. He wasn't that bored, he just asked casually, and after asking this question, he already had the answer in his mind. Su Yu's attitude towards him had nothing to do with fear, but more like not wanting to get close to him... Did he do something that Su Yu hated? Thinking carefully, it seemed that it was only the initial eavesdropping.

On the other side, Su Yu ordered all the Zergs outside to return to the Zerg base. At the same time, he also rushed to the Zerg base. According to the system, except for the low-level Zerg base, the medium-level and high-level Zerg bases can be converted back into energy. Even the high-level Zerg base can be hidden in the Queen's mental power and carried with her. Of course, to do this, you need to pay the price of consuming mental power every moment.

[King... I may have to tell you something.] The system suddenly spoke.

'What?' Su Yu asked.

[There may be another Queen in this galaxy.] System.

'Zerg Queen?' Su Yu paused.

[Yes, ten points sorry, this is my mistake.] The system was puzzled. Why did it become like this? It clearly did not sense the existence of another Queen, but why did a high-level Zerg suddenly appear now? That's the Zerg General! If the Queen is in trouble, the Zerg General will never live alone. The existence of the Zerg General obviously proves one thing, that he must serve a Queen.

'…' Su Yu asked: 'If there is another Queen, what will go wrong?'

[According to common sense, there can only be one Queen in a galaxy, but there are exceptions. If there are two at the same time, they will fight each other until one is swallowed.] The system said in a deep voice [You must obtain energy as soon as possible to hatch your Zerg army. If the Queen behind the Zerg General finds you, you will die.]

'Zerg General? Northfield ma?' It's obviously not Fenyu Xue, so there is only one person left. If the system really said so, Su Yu could understand why he had two completely opposite emotions when he saw Northfield, and he could also understand why Northfield would deliberately approach him.

[Yes.] The system felt very painful about its mistake. Its King was still in his infancy and didn't even have a few medium-level Zerg guards, while the other Queen already had high-level Zergs! If they met, its King would definitely be devoured! Just thinking about it, the system shuddered.

'I know.' Su Yu.

Back to the Zerg base, the Zergs outside had already returned, the mantises and soldier worker ant had already been collected by Su Yu. Only the ten flying bee mosquitoes and the iron blood vine underground were left. After the bee mosquitoes were collected into the space, the shrunken iron blood vine also drilled out of the ground in time. The slender vines shook their bodies to make sure there was no soil, and the upper body was raised, waiting to be picked up by Su Yu, and softly wrapped around the wrist.

A large amount of mental energy is consumed when constructing a medium-level Zerg base, but it only takes a few seconds to recover and transform it into energy.
