See the Law of Deception

Chapter 134 The Substitute (8)

"I had a pretty leisurely morning."

Zhou Ziming sighed as he ate his meal.

Inside the station, passengers should take the time to eat and sleep if possible, since they are not yet at the point where they can maintain their bodily functions without rest and food.

Seeing that nothing unusual had happened, Zhou Ziming suggested that they have lunch first before going to the mourning hall, and Lu Jinzhao and Qin Wan had no objection to this.

Is it possible that our relaxed lifestyle is because someone is carrying the burden for us?

Qin Wan took a sip of yogurt.

Lu Jinzhao doesn't eat much. Because of her martial arts training, her body is different from ordinary people in terms of endurance and strength. It's okay for her to miss a meal or two.

Just then, she noticed the urgent voice at the entrance of the cafeteria and reminded them, "The person who is carrying the burden for us is here."

"It looks like they've come looking for us."

After all, the moment that person made eye contact with her, he immediately walked over here.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziming immediately began shoveling rice into his mouth, trying to finish the remaining food in his bowl before trouble came knocking, while Qin Wan simply put down her chopsticks.

Du Yu moved quickly, and by the time Zhou Ziming finished the last bite of his meal, he had already reached the three of them.

She was slightly out of breath, which suggested she had run some distance.

"Is there a problem?"

Qin Wan put down the napkin and looked at Du Yu warily.

"My name is Du Yu. I'm here to ask if I can work with you later?" Du Yu got straight to the point.

But she didn't just ask; she immediately put forward a condition: "Something happened on our end. If you promise me, I can tell you what happened."

This offer is quite tempting.

After all, the entire morning had been completely peaceful for Lu Jinzhao and the other two. They had no idea what had happened, nor where the danger was or in what form it was.

However, Du Yu was, after all, a member of Feiquan.
The three exchanged glances, and then Zhou Ziming spoke up: "Okay, you can come with us from now on, but you have to tell us what happened now."

Agreeing to act together doesn't mean we have to cooperate. If necessary, Du Yu, being an outsider, is not within the scope of mutual assistance.

Du Yu knew this, but she also knew that she couldn't be left alone no matter what.

As for the information given out
She had already made up her mind on her way here.

“My companion encountered a ghost. The ghost possessed her. She looked no different from usual, but I noticed something was wrong and realized that she was probably not human.”

“Another colleague had frequent contact with her, and I was afraid that she had been targeted by a ghost. I felt unsafe, so I came to you.”

After she finished speaking, Zhou Ziming looked at her and said, "That's not right, is it?"

"Is there any difference between what you've said and nothing at all?"

Du Yu was not surprised to be questioned, as it was within her expectations. So she added, "I tested my teammate, and she looked exactly the same as usual. If I hadn't used my Destiny ability, I wouldn't have been able to tell that she was any different from before."

"Thoughts, memories, temperature, heartbeat, and even blood are exactly the same as those of normal humans."

Of all these, only "fate" is a lie.

But it is also the most deadly lie.

She wanted to leave these three with the impression that her destiny could distinguish truth from falsehood. "Oh?" Lu Jinzhao, who had been silent all along, slightly raised her head to look at her, her expression calm, a slight smile on her lips, her pupils pure black. She looked directly into Du Yu's reddened eyes: "Then did you see clearly?"

"What?" Du Yu looked at her, somewhat puzzled.

Are we really human? Can you see clearly?

As soon as Lu Jinzhao finished speaking, Du Yu's expression visibly paused. She even thought about it for a moment, but the next second, she realized that the girl in front of her was just bluffing. So she adjusted her expression and said very seriously and sincerely, "I know you are real people, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come over."

"Just kidding, don't mind it." Lu Jinzhao's smile widened slightly, his tone kind, seemingly just a casual joke.

Du Yu tightened her grip on her hands behind her back, a flash of anger crossing her mind, but on the surface, she remained nonchalant, even appearing relieved.

"So we've reached a cooperation agreement?"

"Wait, is that all you know?" Zhou Ziming stood up.

He was already tall, and because of the divine power he received, his physical fitness was constantly being improved. Now, when he stood up, he looked like a small mountain in the eyes of Du Yu, who was only 1.6 meters tall.

She really hates people who can put pressure on her, whether it's their abilities or their appearance.

The malice in her heart continued to grow, but due to the situation, Du Yu could only explain: "By the time I realized something was wrong, it was already too late. There wasn't much I could do. I only learned this much in a short time. I really didn't mean to hide anything from you."

"Oh, by the way, my teammate went to the bathroom alone before the abnormality occurred and disappeared for a while. Does that count?"

While this isn't a lie, it's not the point at all.

Du Yu knew perfectly well that ever since she heard Bai Xunyan's words, she could conclude that the ghost's attack had nothing to do with whether someone was alone or not!

Bai Xunyan dared not lie to her; she had indeed seen him. Therefore, his double had also appeared.

But she didn't even know what taboo she had broken!
Why does another version of myself appear?
Du Yu was now somewhat confused.

However, she still provided this information.

This message disrupts other people's perspectives.

If you can cheat one, then cheat it.

Du Yu thought darkly, anyway, her fate would ensure that she was the one who survived to the end.

"I really don't know anything else." Her tone was exceptionally sincere.

"Okay." Qin Wan exchanged glances with the two of them, then nodded.

"We're heading to the funeral hall now, do you want to come with us?" she asked casually.

"Of course," Du Yu agreed immediately.

Lu Jinzhao didn't speak again, but just observed this person from Feiquan.

She clearly appeared to be the leader of that squad, yet she abandoned her teammates and fled in disarray within just one morning. Now, she seemed cowardly, insisting on staying with them.

Was she genuinely afraid of the ghost, or did she have ulterior motives?
Although being alone on the platform is not a good thing, we are all experienced people, so being alone doesn't mean certain death.

Why does she insist on staying with people from other stations?
Is it just for a greater sense of security?
This person, and the information she brought, are all problematic.

After a short rest, the four of them left the company and headed to Xiaoyue's funeral hall.
