See the Law of Deception

Chapter 129 The Substitute (3)

"This mission is only 12 hours long, but there are a total of six passengers. Danger is bound to come very early."

Qin Wan tried to move her injured leg, but found that even though it was just a flat fall, her walking posture had become somewhat awkward because of the wound on her knee.

She didn't ask Lu Jinzhao and Zhou Ziming to continue supporting her; she simply walked slowly and shared her guess.

"They will definitely encounter danger before us, so we can observe first."

Lu Jinzhao noticed that Qin Wan used the word "certainly".

That's wonderful! In her eyes, the future of this destiny is becoming brighter and brighter.

【want to】

A line of blood-red words appeared before her eyes, and Lu Jinzhao paused slightly in her forward steps.

This is how you feel right now.

Sheepskin affirmed.

Lu Jinzhao didn't speak; this wasn't the time to talk to himself.

It's a pity that one's destiny cannot be exchanged or traded.

The sheepskin continued.

Lu Jinzhao had no idea what it meant by saying these things.
Even though it was possible to trade or exchange, she had no intention of doing anything about it.

Undeniably, she did feel a greedy desire for Qin Wan's destiny. In that instant, the thought that came to mind was indeed "want"—not that she wanted to exchange her own destiny for it, but that she wanted this ability.

But I only thought about it in my mind, and then I quickly suppressed the thought.

But can't you get it?

"Sheepskin suddenly said."

You're pretty good.

Why not just kill her and turn her into a shadow puppet?

Upon seeing these words, Lu Jinzhao remained completely unmoved.

She has decided that if any passengers with a destiny die on the platform, she will take their skin and bones, and if any remains of the body are left.

However, she did not intend to kill someone who was not in her way just for the sake of a good destiny.

She's not a ghost.

With the sheepskin enticing her like this, she was even less likely to do it.

Moreover, her ability to make shadow puppets is still insufficient. Even if she kills Qin Wan now, neither her fate nor her own is strong enough. Even if the shadow puppets she makes inherit that ability, how much of it can they actually use?
It's not worth it.

Lu Jinzhao ignored the sheepskin's enticement. After walking a short distance, some memories that did not belong to her surfaced in her mind, just like last time.

However, this memory was very faint; it only told her that she was an ordinary office worker, working nine to five, and was currently on her way to the company.

The others were all her colleagues; they worked at the same company, and even their accommodations were company-provided dormitories.

"Looks like we need to go to work first."

They entered the platform around 8:12 in the morning, which means they need to survive until tonight.

Soon, they arrived at the company building.

This is an office building that isn't very tall and looks quite old. When Lu Jinzhao looked down, he saw a name tag hanging around his neck.

Following their memories, they entered the company, opened the door, took the elevator to their workplace, and found that many colleagues had already arrived at their workstations. After a quick glance, Lu Jinzhao spotted the three people.

It seemed no different from before; nothing unexpected had happened. The three of them had their workstations next to each other. After they sat down, the woman next to them, carrying breakfast, turned her chair around and ate while looking at the three of them, saying, "Oh my god, I can't believe Xiaoyue really had an accident. Everyone in the company is going to the funeral this afternoon, so we don't have to come to work."

Xiaoyue?

As the eldest sister finished speaking, a new memory entered her mind.

The girl named Xiaoyue was their colleague, a long-time employee. Starting last month, she suddenly began to take frequent leave. She only came to the company occasionally, and her mental state was very abnormal. She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, and it looked like she hadn't slept well for a long time. She also became easily startled, and the slightest noise could frighten her.

Most importantly, she started asking some strange questions.

For example: "Have you seen me anywhere else lately?"

"Besides today, have I come to work this week?"

Her colleagues were completely baffled, and her boss thought she was sick and gave her leave to rest. But before leaving the company, Xiaoyue left even stranger words.

"I might die."

At the time, other colleagues only felt that Xiaoyue might be under too much pressure and had mental problems.

Unexpectedly, news of Xiaoyue's death came a few days ago.

"Really dead?"

"What happened?"

"Is she being stalked? She seemed really upset during that time."

Is she afraid of something?

Police officers came to inquire about what happened before Xiaoyue's death. Her colleagues were also extremely curious about Xiaoyue's death. After all, if it were just a normal suicide, the police wouldn't have come to question her repeatedly. But no matter how much they asked, they didn't seem to get any results.

Today is Xiaoyue's funeral. After all, she was a long-time employee of the company. This afternoon, they will all go to pay their respects.

As these memories surfaced, Lu Jinzhao immediately grasped the key point.

The strange questions Xiaoyue asked might seem odd to her colleagues, but to these passengers, they were undoubtedly messages that she was being watched by a ghost.

After her older sister finished gossiping and returned to her workstation, Qin Wan lowered her voice and said:

"Xiaoyue's last words should be clues. Combined with the waiting information, this ghost can definitely imitate us. We need to be careful at the funeral this afternoon."

We should be careful this afternoon.
Lu Jinzhao raised his head slightly and looked at the three people not far away.

Will the morning be wasted in 12 hours?

But because of Qin Wan's transfer ceremony, even if something happens in the morning, it's unlikely to happen here.

Yan Xiaoyu was unaware that someone was watching her; her mind was completely elsewhere.

When Du Yu led them into the platform, she didn't think anything of it. But after walking a little further in, a memory surfaced in their minds, and they realized that today was their "work day." So the three of them headed towards the company.

However, as they walked inside, they saw that the elevator entrance was already crowded with people going to work. The elevator doors opened, and everyone rushed in. They naturally found a spot too, but when the last person tried to get in, the elevator showed that it was overloaded.

One person has to go down.

They looked at the last colleague to enter. She had her head down, her black hair obscuring her view, making it difficult to see her face clearly. She remained unmoved by the complaints of the others in the elevator, as if she couldn't hear them.

No one else seemed inclined to leave the elevator. Yan Xiaoyu looked at Du Yu, wanting to ask her what to do.
Should we just throw someone out?

But the mission had just begun and the situation was still unclear, so Du Yu probably wouldn't do that directly. Sure enough, Du Yu glanced at her and gestured for her to get out. Yan Xiaoyu couldn't disobey the order, so she could only step out of the elevator.

As soon as she left, the elevator stopped ringing.

Soon, the elevator doors slowly closed. The woman who had been keeping her head down, causing the overload, suddenly looked up at Yan Xiaoyu when there was only a small gap left in the elevator doors, looking at this "kind person" who was willing to give up her seat.

She remembered Yan Xiaoyu's face.
