See the Law of Deception

Chapter 130 The Substitute (4)

Upon arriving at their workstations, Yan Xiaoyu and her two colleagues also heard about "Xiaoyue" from their colleagues, and a previously unheard-of memory surfaced in their minds.

From this moment on, Yan Xiaoyu became absent-minded.

Ever since the name "Xiaoyue" appeared in her memory, she felt that the woman she met in the elevator looked somewhat familiar.

She looks a lot like Xiaoyue.

But she wasn't sure. She only glanced at it and thought it looked like her, but that glance was blurry. It felt like Xiaoyue, but when she thought about the facial features carefully, it didn't match the Xiaoyue in her memory.

Yan Xiaoyu was no newcomer; she was a Level 2 passenger. Whenever something seemed amiss, she would instinctively wonder if she had encountered a ghost. Naturally, she was no exception.

But she dared not say it.

She glanced up at Du Yu, who seemed oblivious to her presence, so Yan Xiaoyu immediately lowered her head.

can not say.

She had to figure it out on her own.

Yan Xiaoyu looked around but couldn't find the woman.

She felt a little uneasy, but it wasn't too bad. Strange things like this always happened on the platform. All she needed to do was avoid panic, carefully search for clues, find a way to cope, avoid danger, and survive.
"I may encounter some deadly dangers, but I have a destiny that I should be able to get through them."

If you can survive one encounter, find the patterns and taboos, and draw others into the ghost's sight, you will be safe.

Ideally, Du Yu would suffer a loss without even realizing it.

It would be even better if I could die here.

Yan Xiaoyu thought this way, but because of this thought, a little unease arose in her heart. Just then, her colleague suddenly walked in carrying a box.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, why didn't you bring the milk tea you bought up? The delivery guy is waiting for you outside."

"I've brought it up for you."

When the other colleagues heard the news, they all came over to thank Yan Xiaoyu. The box of milk tea was gradually distributed, but Yan Xiaoyu did not take any.

This is not the milk tea she bought.

In her memory, "employee Yan Xiaoyu" did not buy milk tea.

Who bought this box of milk tea in her name?
Du Yu stood beside her, also holding a cup of milk tea, and she was looking at her.

Yan Xiaoyu's breath hitched slightly as she explained, "It seems to be a habit of mine, but I didn't notice it just now."

Du Yu seemed to believe it. After all, everyone's memories were roughly the same on the platform, but different "experiences" would occur due to personality differences.

She returned to her workstation, and Yan Xiaoyu felt relieved. She turned around, turned on her computer, and thought about finishing today's work tasks first. After all, her current identity was that of an "employee," and she had to abide by the duties of an employee.

After working for about half an hour, a colleague came back from the restroom. When she saw Yan Xiaoyu, she was surprised and said, "Hey, you're so fast? I just saw you in the restroom. Where did you come from?"

Yan Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; she had never been to the toilet.

She looked at Du Yu, who was talking to another colleague and hadn't noticed what was going on. So she said without changing her expression, "I left quickly because I had something urgent to do."

The colleague didn't pay any attention to that; he simply nodded and left.

wrong.

Yan Xiaoyu immediately realized that even though she was just sitting in her seat and doing nothing, something seemed to be happening.

She thought of the name of this platform: Stand-in.

Don't let it see you.

But it seems she has already been seen.

Just two unusual things made Yan Xiaoyu realize that there seemed to be two of her in the company.

I ordered milk tea and went to the restroom.

But she was completely unaware of the other person's presence.

Without a doubt, that "Yan Xiaoyu" is a ghost. But where is she?

Yan Xiaoyu stood up and decided to go to the restroom.

A colleague saw another Yan Xiaoyu in the restroom, and she had to go check on her; she couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Going to encounter a ghost is dangerous, but it would be even more dangerous if Du Yu noticed something was wrong!
With Du Yu and the ghost involved, she will surely die.

Having made up her mind, Yan Xiaoyu stood up from her seat.

Du Yu, who was talking to others, immediately turned his gaze to her. Although he had no expression, Yan Xiaoyu felt a chill when she saw his slightly reddened eyes.

Sometimes, she felt that Du Yu was scarier than a ghost.

Yan Xiaoyu pointed hesitantly towards the restroom, and only after seeing Du Yu turn her gaze away expressionlessly did she hurried towards the restroom.

"where?"

She was ready, and the only supernatural item was clutched in her hand.

She was supposed to have three supernatural items, but she couldn't keep them.

If it weren't for good luck in obtaining the destiny, I would probably be gone by now.

Yan Xiaoyu clenched her fist; the hard texture of the coin gave her a sense of security.

She went to the restroom, which was open during working hours and not many people were inside. She walked around twice but didn't see anything strange.

Yan Xiaoyu did not give up, and even went to the smoking area to take a look, but found nothing unusual.

She was somewhat unwilling, but she knew she couldn't leave for too long, lest she arouse Du Yu's suspicion.

On her way back, Yan Xiaoyu was still thinking about what to do, but soon she was unable to think anymore.

Because she saw that someone was sitting at her workstation.

A woman wearing the exact same clothes and with the same length of hair as her.

That figure was both familiar and strange.

She felt familiar because the person's build was similar to hers, yet she felt strange because she could hardly see her own back.

Who is that?
With that question in mind, Yan Xiaoyu then provided the answer herself in the next second.

That was Yan Xiaoyu.

That other self that you can't see, but your colleagues can.

That, the stand-in.

That ghost.

Even though it's only been about an hour since the train arrived, Yan Xiaoyu felt that the situation was already serious enough.

She could no longer hide it. She was about to step into the office to warn the others when she was stopped.

The person who stopped her was a colleague. In my memory, this colleague was very upright, but also a busybody, and not a very likable person.

Now, she frowned, looked at Yan Xiaoyu, and asked, "Who are you? We don't have any visitors today."

Yan Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback. "What? I am..."

As she spoke, she reached for her employee badge, but when she looked down, she discovered that the badge hanging around her neck was gone.

All she could say was, "I am Yan Xiaoyu."

But her colleague looked at her with a strange, dismissive gaze, as if she were looking at a mental patient: "I'm not blind. I know what Xiaoyu looks like. If you're going to lie, at least use a name that looks somewhat like you, right?"

"Get out of here right now, I'm calling security!"

Her colleague scolded her, which alerted the others. They looked over, but each of their faces showed unfamiliarity with her.

My sleep schedule has become so chaotic that I'm turning day into night. Today I'm going to stay up all day to correct it!
