《Humanity? HELL YEAH!!》Scarcity of truth

"What are you talking about? I don't know what is going on, how I got here, what reality is, what you two want, I don't know who is right and who is false.", Sigmund lamented.
The blue humanoid scoffed, while the red one kept staring at Sigmund without a change in its expression. "You are asking too much of me, there have been entire libraries of books written about all of your questions and it isn't my job to answer. I can just point you the way to the nearest library.", the blue one pointed out, he had crossed his arms.
The red one stayed silent.
"Can you just answer one question? I really need some guidance here, because all I knew is wrong apparently.", Sigmund had begun to ignore the red one, it did not communicate and behaved like a zombie, the likelyhood that it really was a 'scambot' seemed quite high.
"Not really. As you said, you can't trust either of us, because you don't know anything. How do you know I don't just lie to you? You are way too naive for your own good.", Blue sneered. "OK? Are you really trying to help me? I don't see it.", Sigmund mirrored Blue and crossed his arms. Blue sighed and Red began to repeat the 'instructions'.
When Red was done, Blue said "I don't have to do this, but you'll be very grateful to me if you look back to this point in time. If you follow the instructions of the scambot, you'll be converted into a scambot, believe me or believe me not, it is your wager." Blue rubbed over its temples, which made a scraping noise "If you really want to stand a chance, move that way", Blue pointed at a door, "and you can educate yourself in the library.".

Reds orb changed its color and a different, human voice spoke from Red.
"That is what he says. I know his type, if you go through that door, there will be an ambush waiting for you. They will kill you and dismantle you for your organs. Follow my instructions, his accomplices are probably already on their way towards you. I am your only chance at survival.", Red warned.
The sudden change seemed completely random, but Red suddenly was no longer a non-factor, the equivalent of a headache without actual pain washed over Sigmund.
He began to play with a wager, if Blue was right, following Red would be very bad, if Red was right, following Blue would be very bad. He wanted neither.
"If I were to run away from here, would any of you stop me?", Sigmund probed.
Both of them spoke over each other, eager to talk, but that just meant that he did not understand any of them. What a dilemma, and he was under time pressure.
"STOP! Both of you shut up. If I see more blue people, I will take the deal of Red. Both of you stay back from me. Answer my questions, but not at the same time.", Sigmund had raised his voice significantly, and it had worked.
He then turned off his attention, as the resulting bickering on who would talk first began.
The situation was defused for now, no one could act against him according to the established facts. Reality still was unknown, maybe one of them said the truth, maybe both said the truth sometimes and lied at another time or withheld important information.
Trusting any of them fully would be foolish, he wasn't as naive as Blue implied.
There would be information to be gotten out of these two and if they attacked both, he would run. But as long they kept it civil, he would profit from staying here.

Level Up Hero!
In a world where the gods' gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard is among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life-force to do it. Hero society doesn't think he's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. It’s why he quit. But it turns out that giving up the hero life isn’t easy, not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves. After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero, Thunder, he inherits a strange power from her; the training system that taught her how to become a top hero. It apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat no one knew was possible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve... A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future.
