Chapter 27 Getting Wilder and Wilder
Lin Feng also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He chose an extremely safe direction for his lie—the opposite of his obvious characteristics.
He could even prepare a series of similar statements: "I am three meters tall," "I am wearing red clothes," "I am one hundred years old this year," and so on.
Using them in rotation is enough to last for 60 minutes.
Time passed by, second by second.
For the first fifteen minutes, despite the persistent tension in the air, no one broke the rules.
The cabin echoed with a series of low, absurd monologues, like a group of mental patients performing some kind of bizarre survival ritual.
However, the cruelty of the rules soon became apparent in another way.
About twenty minutes later, Xia Ning reappeared with two flight attendants, pushing a food cart and starting to distribute food.
"As a reward for everyone who has survived until now, today's meal will be improved, consisting entirely of normal, fresh food and drinks."
The food cart no longer carried the bizarre and indescribable dishes of the past, but instead offered bread, sandwiches, noodles, fruit, and various drinks with enticing aromas.
Upon witnessing this long-awaited return of normal food, one of the chosen ones was momentarily overwhelmed with joy and couldn't help but let out a heartfelt cheer: "Wow! This is wonderful!"
Before he finished speaking, the cabin lights instantly turned a blinding blood red!
"The statement expresses genuine joy and does not contain any acceptable lies. Judgment: Violation."
Xia Ning's voice was like a final judgment.
Before the man could even react, ice rapidly spread from the soles of his feet, instantly turning him into a stunned ice sculpture.
Immediately afterwards, the long, scarlet tongue shot out again from the darkness behind, snatched away the ice sculpture, and a chilling slurping sound followed from the darkness.
This sudden turn of events sent chills down everyone's spines, and several people who were about to speak up quickly covered their mouths.
The faint sound of the food cart wheels rubbing against the carpet was like a thunderclap in the deathly silent cabin.
The flight attendants pushed the food carts from the back row, distributing food to the survivors one by one.
The survivors stared intently at the food cart, their throats moving uncontrollably, a mixture of craving for food and fear of death.
The food truck stopped in front of the first survivor.
He was a young man wearing glasses who looked somewhat frail. He was so nervous that he gripped the armrests of the seat tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white.
"Bread, sandwiches, and noodles, choose two. What would you like, sir?" Xia Ning's voice was as cold as ever.
Caught off guard, the man's mind went blank, and he instinctively blurted out, "I...I want a sandwich and noodles!"
The red lights inside the cabin flashed on instantly!
Xia Ning coldly pronounced the verdict: "The statement expressed a genuine need but did not contain any acceptable lies. Judgment: Violation."
Suddenly, ice appeared, and before the man could even be surprised, he was frozen and dragged away.

"Holy crap! This is a trap! They asked so suddenly!"
"Oh no, oh no, who can react in time?"
"Instinct can kill! This rule is too insidious!"
"If it were me, I would have been swept away too..."
"You have to think of your lie in advance! There's no time to react on the spot!"
"Brother Feng, you absolutely must stay calm!"
........................
The food cart continued on its way and stopped in front of a middle-aged woman.
Her face was deathly pale, her eyes were unfocused, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Bread, sandwiches, and noodles, choose two. What would you like?" Xia Ning asked.
The woman shuddered in fright, shaking her head repeatedly and hastily lying, "I don't need it! I'm not hungry right now!"
However, the red light came on again!
Xia Ning: "The lie 'not hungry' is a subjective state, too vague and unverifiable. Judgment: Violation."
The survivors were horrified. Many who had prepared similar answers broke out in a cold sweat, never expecting that even such a seemingly negative answer would violate the rules.
Panic spread like a plague.
The next person to be questioned was a burly man who had witnessed the ordeal of the previous two, his back soaked with cold sweat.
"Bread, sandwiches, and noodles, choose two. What would you like?" Xia Ning's voice was like a death knell.
The burly man shook his head violently, almost shouting, "No need! I'm a robot, I don't need food!"
This time, the red light did not turn on.
The decision has been approved.
However, as a result, Xia Ning did not give him any food and instead pushed the cart to the next person.
The burly man stood there, stunned, watching the food cart leave, his stomach rumbling loudly.
Next, many people began to imitate the strong man, claiming "I don't need it, I'm a robot." Although they managed to get through the ordeal, they also missed out on the food.
Soon, the food cart arrived in front of Lin Feng.
"Bread, sandwiches, noodles, choose two out of three, what do you pick?" Xia Ning asked.
Lin Feng's gaze calmly fell on the bright red boutonniere on Xia Ning's chest, and he said composedly:
"I really like your blue corsage."
As he spoke, he calmly stood up, took a sandwich, a bowl of noodles, and an extra cup of hot coffee.
Everyone was stunned!
The red light did not turn on.
Surprisingly... there were no violations!
The survivors were immediately filled with shock and disbelief: Holy crap! So that's how it's done! Why didn't I think of that?!
An impatient passenger couldn't help but blurt out, "Dining car! Can it come back?"
The red light turned on immediately!
Xia Ning: "The statement was a genuine request and did not contain any acceptable lies. This is a violation."
The man instantly turned into an ice sculpture and was swept away by the scarlet tongue.

"666! Feng's move was absolutely amazing!"
"Not only did he lie, but he also complimented the flight attendant? What nerve!"
"I've learned something! You have to lie about the objective facts!"
"That idiot who called for the food truck to come back... he doesn't even understand the rules."
"Haha, look at the envious looks on everyone else's faces!"
"The Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, you're safe!"

Lin Feng took a sip of coffee before suddenly remembering that he hadn't used his [Desire Insight] ability for today.
[Desire Insight Activated! Target: The Mysterious Flight Attendant - Xia Ning!]
A faint spiritual fluctuation quietly emerged.
In the field of vision, red notification text flashed along with a highly impactful image:
[Current strongest desire: In the cramped bathroom, to be suddenly pushed against the door by him—the exceptionally clear image of Lin Feng—and have all reason sealed away with a burning kiss. (Desire intensity: 95%)]
Lin Feng inwardly exclaimed, "Good heavens!" This cold and aloof rule enforcer was really getting wilder and wilder.
However, this coincides with the mission of "many children, many blessings," which is actually a good thing for me.
Now we just need to wait for the right opportunity.
He glanced at the countdown for the "Echoes of Lies" segment; there were 30 minutes left. He decided to hold back for now and wait until the segment ended before taking action.
So he silently finished his food and coffee, mechanically uttering an absurd lie every four minutes or so...
