See the Law of Deception

Chapter 127 The Substitute (1)

The platform was still classified as Class B, which relieved Lu Jinzhao slightly.

After obtaining her destiny, she was no longer in a hurry to upgrade her passenger level. After all, the higher the level of the platform ghost, the more powerful it was. She needed some time to upgrade her destiny and obtain more money to buy life.

Now that I've spoken with the sheepskin, I'm even less inclined to head to a higher-level platform anytime soon.

If what the sheepskin said is true, then she only has one chance to enter the [Class A] platform, get a first-class seat, and become a first-class passenger. Then, when the next train arrives, she will enter the death platform.

If the mortality rate is extremely high for novice passengers after they are selected for the train, and only decreases when they become premium passengers, then the mortality rate on the premium platform is an even more terrifying meat grinder than that of novice passengers.

It's not without reason that some people call the death platform a "purge mechanism".

The mortality rate was simply too high. Even if the passengers who went in were the elite of their group, they were just cannon fodder inside.

Special class passengers can only be born on the special class platform. Once they complete the boarding and ticket inspection, the class on their ticket will change to special class. However, even special class passengers cannot guarantee that they will come out alive.

Rumor has it that if you survive ten special platform rides, you can unlock the train's secrets.

But this is just a rumor, because no one has ever actually succeeded in doing it ten times, or even five times.

In the past, the death platform would appear almost every six months, and the people who entered were randomly selected. Even with the best of luck, one could only complete it twice a year.

Ten times, at least five years.

However, this is only an ideal situation. So far, there has never been a case of a person repeatedly choosing the same special class to enter the Death Platform.

The process of becoming a top-tier expert currently takes at least two years.

Some speculate that the fixed number of "ten times" might just be a false message released by deceased predecessors to give hope to those who come after.

A carrot hanging right in front of you, yet you can never reach it.

Lu Jinzhao had a premonition that if she didn't die in the next mission, she might be able to break the record for the shortest time to become a Special Grade.

But this is not good news.

This means she spends far less time getting used to the platform and gathering resources than other passengers.

This rapid growth was not due to her exceptional talent, but rather because she had a dog chasing after her.

Were you thinking something rude just now?

On the way to the train station, the sheepskin suddenly appeared.

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Can you read minds?"

Lu remained unfazed.

No, but I felt it.

"Feeling something?"

【mood.】

Since the day Yangpi broke the news to her, he has become much more candid. It seems that since Lu Jinzhao already knows all this and is going to die sooner or later anyway, he might as well just say what he wants to say.

"Mine?" Lu Jinzhao asked knowingly.

Of course, who else could it be? I only devoured your soul.

Sheepskin looked somewhat speechless, probably thinking she was stupid for asking such a question.

"So, what tricks are you planning to pull this time?" Lu Jinzhao changed the subject after confirming what he wanted to know.

【No】

【Am I very free?】 Aren't you free?

However, since Yangpi was very certain that he wanted her dead, the only reason he didn't keep tampering with the platform must be because he couldn't.
"It seems you're not all-powerful after all."

[Heh, don't get too cocky. Do you think you'll be better off if I don't pull some strings?]

"Wow, that's scary." Lu Jinzhao replied dismissively with a blank expression.

She certainly didn't think that if the sheepskin wasn't tampered with, the task at the Class B platform would become easier.

However, even after she said that, the sheepskin didn't seem to want to do anything, which meant it was indeed because it couldn't.

Even though it is powerful, its power is still limited. Even though she is the only one Lu Jinzhao knows, and can interfere with the existence of trains and platforms to some extent, it seems that she can't interfere with too much.

"That's good."

Lu Jinzhao did not try to talk to Yangpi again. She and Yangpi seemed to have entered a "truce" and were no longer constantly at odds. Of course, this was only on the surface.

She knew in her heart that the sheepskin was waiting, waiting for the moment she would step onto the platform of death.

And she, too, was waiting.

Yuncheng Railway Station is as bustling as ever. This somewhat outdated platform carries a lot of memories of the times for the people of Yuncheng, and also the fate of all passengers.

Lu Jinzhao entered the underground platform and met his teammates in the waiting room.

She arrived rather late, and as soon as she entered the platform, she saw two strangers.

"Huh, are there only three people?" She looked at the waiting information with some doubt, and then noticed something that surprised her.

[Train class arriving at this station: B]

[Number of passengers taking the train at Yuncheng Station this time: 3]

[List of personnel: Lu Jinzhao, Qin Wan, Zhou Ziming]

[This site: Stand]

Be careful, don't let it see you, don't let it get close, it will take everything from you.

[Survived for 12 hours.]

"So, we're not the only ones participating in this platform mission?" Lu Jinzhao asked the two people beside him with some hesitation.

She had seen a description in the pinned post that when the waiting information in the passenger column shows the words "Yuncheng Station", it means that the number only represents the stations in this city, and if the passenger list has 【.】, it means that the list is not complete.

This also means that the train will stop at more than just Yuncheng.

"Yes." Besides Lu Jinzhao, there was a man and a woman in the waiting room. The girl, who looked quite young, nodded: "You're Lu Jinzhao?"

"Yes." Lu Jinzhao nodded.

"What a coincidence, to be able to work with a newcomer so quickly." Qin Wan smiled, her tone was gentle, and her demeanor was exceptionally friendly, making her seem very approachable.

“The other party is probably also three people.” Zhou Ziming nodded to Lu Jinzhao first, then pointed to the name and explained to her, “But we don’t know how many stations they are cooperating with. Generally speaking, a Class B mission usually involves two stations cooperating, so six people are involved. It’s not easy.”

"And all three of us have a destiny," Qin Wan added.

"By the way, Little Deer, you probably don't know, but my destiny's function is to exchange luck. I can change a person's luck over a period of time. As for Zhou Ziming, his destiny is more practical; it's a divine strike, very reliable." Qin Wan said softly.

Lu Jinzhao blinked, not expecting her teammates to be so frank. Looking at Zhou Ziming's expression, she didn't seem to mind what Qin Wan had said at all.

Seemingly noticing Lu Jinzhao's confusion, Qin Wan explained, "Once you survive a few more times, everyone will be able to figure out the role of their teammates' destinies pretty well. It's not a secret to us, especially since there will be people from other platforms involved this time."

Qin Wan frowned: "We still don't know which platform it is. Although our goal is to complete the mission and deal with ghosts, it's best not to get too close to people from other platforms."

She seemed to have swallowed some of her words, only uttering this one piece of advice.
