See the Law of Deception

Chapter 122 Things That Cannot Be Shared

Lu Jinzhao tightened her grip on the iron box, remembering how much Yangpi had coveted it when she first got it.

How did this thing end up in her house?
Why had she never noticed the things her parents left her before?
Could it be because she wasn't a "passenger" before?
What is the relationship between her parents and all of this?
Lin Zhao, yes, and Lin Zhao again—all these unusual opportunities began when Lin Zhao gave her the train ticket.

She was just her college roommate, so what did she know?
“Student, you look very worried, as if you have a lot of things you want to know?” The fortune teller, dressed in bright yellow, looked at her and moved his body as he spoke, seemingly putting away the footrest of his electric scooter.

Then, Lu Jinzhao saw her back begin to recede, and the strands of hair that had fallen onto her shoulders fluttered in the wind.

"So you're going to tell me the answer?" Lu Jinzhao replied.

"That's definitely not going to work," the fortune teller on the bicycle immediately refused. "You haven't paid me yet!"

"Besides, I've already done one calculation for you, and I won't be doing a second one for you anytime soon."

There was one more thing she didn't say: she felt that telling Lu Jinzhao's fortune was not a good thing.

Today's events have exceeded her expectations; Lu Jinzhao is unlike any of the newcomers she has encountered before.

In her presence, most people are like blank sheets of paper. She only needs to exchange a few words with them, listen to their experiences, and ask them what they want to know to see their thoughts, desires, and even their life clearly.

But Lu Jinchao is not an option.

Even though she was just a passenger who had just passed through Platform B, she felt as if she could see those strange people around her.

It cannot be fully seen through, as if through a layer of fog, blurry, dangerous, and easily arouses a desire to explore.

But this is not a good sign.

Every time she develops a strong curiosity about someone and tries to see through them, she always ends up in big trouble.

This time it was even stranger; she hadn't even started doing anything yet, and she was already in trouble!
No, no, this newcomer is too dangerous. She needs to think about it.

"Hang up~!" Without waiting for Lu Jinzhao's reaction, she quickly hung up the phone.

"That seems a bit impolite?"

As she rode her bike, she thought to herself, "Oh well, she's already made a fortune off me anyway!"

"If we keep talking, I might not be able to resist continuing to make calculations. I just don't think that's a good thing."

She decided that she should not have any contact with Lu Jinzhao for the time being. Even if she did, she should never be too curious and ask him about his affairs or try to speculate about his past and future.

"But I still need to tell Crescent Moon."

A special, extremely promising, but also potentially very dangerous newcomer.

Lu Jinzhao didn't feel anything when the call was hung up on, after all, she had already received very important information from the fortune teller.

She was just wondering how to open the box.

Do you know how to open this thing?

She simply asked about the sheepskin.

【? 】

Sheepskin sent a question mark.

"You don't know?"

【Of course I know. 】

But why should I tell you?

Lu Jinzhao hesitated for a moment: "...Should I give you half of what's inside?"

Of course she wouldn't; that's just a lie.

But she didn't expect the sheepskin to react even more violently.

【don't want!!】

That's not something you can share!

I absolutely, absolutely, will not share this with you. Don't even think about it!

I won't tell you how to open it unless you give it to me.

what's the situation?
Lu Jinzhao was genuinely stunned.

She began to think.

The sheepskin's reaction was clearly wrong.

Even though she had used the most vicious words to provoke and provoke her in the past, Yangpi had never lost her composure like this before.

What exactly is in there?

[Something extremely useful to ghosts, but useless or even harmful to humans. Give it to me, and I'll grant you one wish.] Has it now become a wish-granting machine?
"You think I'd believe you just because you say that? I'll have to open it and use it to find out if it's harmful to people."

Lu Jinchao said this, but he was thinking in his heart.

Sheepskin doesn't lie. If it says this thing is harmful to people, it's probably true. But the fortune teller says it's a supernatural item and tells her she must get her hands on it. Lu Jinzhao doesn't think she's lying.

It wasn't that she trusted someone she had just met, but rather that she genuinely believed this matter was related to her parents.

Surely her parents couldn't have left this box intentionally to harm her?
Therefore, she tends to believe that neither the fortune teller nor the sheepskin lied.

"It's useless or even harmful to people, but what about me alone?"

Do you think you're special?

Sheepskin scoffed.

Lu Jinzhao wasn't angry when she saw this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Am I not special?"

"I'm nothing special, so why are you lingering here?"

【? 】

【Am I going to stay and refuse to leave?】

"Is not it?"

Lu Jinzhao unconsciously turned the iron box in his hand, pondering why Yangpi's attitude was so strange.

These questions seem to involve something crucial that could easily sway Yangpi, but something they don't want her to know.

She had to keep probing, using more extreme tactics to provoke the sheepskin, make it lose its temper, and extract more useful information.

【madness! 】

【ridiculous!】

Looking at you is like looking at a frog in a well, only seeing the sky from the bottom of its own lap!

"My goodness, you even know the story of the frog in the well?" Lu Jinzhao feigned surprise.

This seemed to completely enrage the sheepskin, causing it to lose its mind and begin to move.

But since this is reality, it seems it can't do anything too outrageous, so right under Lu Jinzhao's nose, it begins to "wriggle".

Like a very hard-working worm, it arches and tries to get away from Lu Jinzhao's hand.

The scene looked both comical and pathetic.

"At this speed, can you even get out of my house before sunset today?"

The sheepskin seemed to be stimulated, and it began to wriggle even faster.

Looking at it, Lu Jinzhao felt a pang of pity for it.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but then a wave of disgust washed over her.

She frowned and said, "Are you really brainless?"

"There's a limit to stupidity, isn't there? Sometimes when I look at you, I really don't understand why there are things in this world that can be so stupid."

“Since you’re so eager to leave, I’ll see you off.” She picked up the sheepskin, brought it to the window, and then threw it out without hesitation.

She wasn't really angry, of course, but she was genuinely disgusted.

She sat back down, her expression quickly returning to calm. She looked at the table and waited, silently counting down. When a certain time was reached, she reached into her pocket and, sure enough, took out the sheepskin.

“If I were you, I would never be so spineless as to come back,” Lu Jinzhao sneered.

I won't leave until I get what I want.

And you, you will surely die.

Sheepskin seemed to have regained its composure.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Lu Jinzhao said suddenly, looking at it.

Her expression became subtle, and her eyes revealed an emotion that made Yangpi uneasy.

Sheepskin felt that after devouring part of Deer Jinzhao's soul, it was indeed becoming more and more like a human. Now, it even understood what unease was.

She suddenly said, "I understand."

This idiot's previous state didn't seem like acting; his acting skills aren't that good. If it wasn't acting, then there's only one answer.

"You don't not want to leave."

"You simply cannot leave me."
