Novel & Cerita Question Behind The Question

The blood moon, maybe thats when Ill die. 51 "God Khloe If you want to ask questions just ask them." 133 My eyes widened as I turned to face him. "W-what?" He leaned against his desk, arms crossed. 4 "Its written all over your face, plus a pet always has questions after they've first been fed from." 109 I blinked at him, unsure of what to say. I mean, yea I had questions, but some of them I'm not even sure I want answered. 3 "H-how did I taste?" I decided to ask.

Right then, the system chimed in again. [Side Quest: “The Boss’s Truth” has been issued.] [Each player may ask the Boss any three questions.] [Quest time: Starting now.] [Eligible participants: All surviving players.] [Hint: The Boss will only tell the truth. He cannot lie.] [Hint: You may not ask questions directly related to the game’s ending, such as what the correct wish is.] [Hint: Questions involving the Boss’s past life may reveal clues to the correct wish—but they also risk angering him, resulting in immediate execution.]

They were standing on something that had been waiting to be remembered. And for the first time— They were close enough to start asking the right question. Not where it was. Not how it worked. But why it had been broken in the first place.

My eyes snapped up slightly, my eyes locking onto him as the realization hit me. He was looking straight at me. "My apologies, I didn't quite catch that." “…I’ll repeat my question. What do you think would drive someone to traffic werewolf organs? And who do you think the buyers are?” Out of everyone in this damn room, why was he asking me such questions? Did he know? Was he just trying to bait me? No. He couldn’t. If he knew, this wouldn’t be a question. “I believe that people tend to do… questionable things when they’re pushed into corners.” I answered, keeping my tone neutral.

She was no longer sitting upright with a straight back like before as she shifted more than half of her upper body weight to lean on the bar counter. “Here’s the third question.” She pursed her lips ever so slightly with great effort. Then, she asked, “When will our game end?” He could not answer her question immediately this time as he had done with the two previous questions. He remained silent until she turned over to look at him with her head propped on her arms. He answered, “I don’t know.”

"Are you feeling better today? " Ma'am Benita asked sitting on the egde of the bed, running her hand through Bianca's hair gently. " I have questions to ask, if you don't mind answering me because everything seems confusing " Bianca said looking at the ceiling. Ma'am Benita looked at her, smiling again.

For a second, I just stare at the question. At the life behind it. At the version of me it is asking for. Then I type two words. “I know.”

“Why.” One question. The most real question under all of the other questions. Not who are you or how did you get my number… just why. Why do you care. Why does this matter. So why are you still here in the outer reaches of my life when you should have been that odd thing that happened once and then dissipated in the light of day? I studied the question for a long time. I wrote the only truthful response I could. “I don’t fully know yet. But somewhere in those woods, last night, something was right in front of you. Be careful until I know what it is."
