See the Law of Deception

Chapter 152 New Dream
Since the last outbreak, the sheepskin has been unusually quiet.

It doesn't seem like he's giving up; it's more like he's made a huge fuss after his outburst and is determined to make her pay, so he's acting all high and mighty.

Lu Jinzhao's opinion on this is: naive.

She hasn't done this kind of thing since she was 10 years old.

Back home, Lu Jinzhao didn't choose to rest, but instead turned on his phone and dialed Lin Lin's number.

However, as always, there was no response.

"So much time has passed."

She opened the group chat and forums to search for news about the death platform. Fortunately, the platform was not over yet, and it wasn't that Lin Lin didn't come out alive.

In the forum, when discussing this death platform, people didn't think the mission took too long; on the contrary, they were used to it. Lu Jinzhao sent Lin Lin a text message and then closed the page.

After reading the news she cared about most, she took her backpack and went to the study.

Although it's called a study, she has actually converted it into a workspace.

Here, she almost replicated the workbench from "Inheritance," and also created a suitable environment for the shadow puppets to dry in the shade.

Now, she needs to organize the materials she brought out. Without the ghost, it will take her about a week just to air-dry them. And it's best not to leave the fresh human skin that she peeled off untreated in her backpack.

As the backpack was opened, a familiar smell of blood rushed into Lu Jinzhao's nostrils. Lu Jinzhao had even become somewhat accustomed to this smell.

Without changing her expression, she took out two pieces of human skin and bones and began to concentrate on preparing the "potion" for soaking the materials.

"It shouldn't need to soak for too long."

Human skin is different from animal skin, so the hair removal process is much faster.

After hair removal, any remaining bits of flesh on the skin need to be scraped off before the skin can be air-dried.

As for bone treatment, it requires different medications and bone scalpels.

If it were the old her, she might have needed assistance with a chainsaw or something similar, but she's different now!
She is now very strong, and with just a good bone knife, she can cut bones into skewer pieces of the same size.

Yes. Not only is he strong, but he also has very precise control over his strength.

After processing the materials and completing these preparations, Lu Jinzhao smelled not only of blood but also of chemicals.

She checked everything to make sure the procedures were correct, then left the workshop with her backpack.

Lu Jinzhao's clothes were already quite unsightly due to stains and bloodstains, but fortunately, because she was a passenger, no one would be surprised by it in reality. Even when taking a taxi, the driver seemed not to notice the large patches of bloodstains on her clothes.

After taking a shower and changing her clothes, and confirming that there was nothing more urgent, Lu Jinzhao finally lay back down on the bed to rest.

Although this mission did not cause her serious physical harm, it did leave her quite mentally exhausted.

She thought that she would have some dreams about the "stand-in" when she fell asleep, but she didn't expect that she would lose consciousness as if she had fallen into a coma shortly after lying down. Then, she heard a call.

The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before.

Following the sound, she fell into a dream.

Then, she witnessed something completely unexpected.

her parents.

They were sitting on a dilapidated train that looked at least a hundred years old.

This reminded Lu Jinzhao of a train, but compared to the cleanliness of a train, this vehicle seemed to be more dilapidated.

There were more than just her parents sitting in the carriage; if you count carefully, there were nearly ten people.

Apart from her parents, Lu Jinzhao couldn't see anyone else's face.

But she could sense that the atmosphere inside the carriage wasn't very good; it was rather heavy.

People were talking non-stop, but Lu Jinzhao couldn't hear what they were saying.

She saw her parents' hands clasped together, seemingly encouraging each other. The next second, Lu Jinzhao seemed to sense something. She looked at the young woman sitting opposite her parents. A mist seemed to shroud her face, making it impossible for Lu Jinzhao to see clearly, but Lu Jinzhao was almost certain that she was looking at her?

This "eye contact" lasted for almost an instant; the next instant, Lu Jinzhao disappeared from the scene.

The instant the image vanished, even in her dream, a question surfaced with crystal clarity in Lu Jinzhao's mind:

Who is she?
Are they friends of her parents?

The next second, she realized that she was dreaming, and perhaps this woman did not exist in reality.

This strange "lucid dream" lasted only a short time. Perhaps it wasn't short in reality, but in Lu Jinzhao's "consciousness," the dream lasted less than a minute.

Then, her consciousness went into a state of confusion until she woke up from her sleep.

When Lu Jinzhao opened her eyes, her consciousness was still somewhat hazy.

She paused for about half a minute before slowly picking up her phone from beside her pillow. When she checked the time, she was surprised to find that only five hours had passed.

"I dreamt about my parents?"

Lu Jinchao was somewhat slow to realize this.

In fact, since her parents passed away, she has rarely, or rather, almost never, dreamed of them.

No matter how much she missed them or how sad she was back then, she never knew why she could dream of them.

It once made her believe that the saying "what you think about during the day, you dream about at night" was a complete lie.

Unexpectedly, she dreamt of it today without any warning.

But, dreams don't usually give any omens, do they?

But when she woke up and her reason returned, she realized something.

"Was the scene in your dream a train?"

so similar.

The atmosphere, in particular, was exactly the same as the solemn atmosphere that passengers felt before heading to the platform.

"I didn't dream about the body double, but I did dream about entering the train platform?"

Either way, it seemed a bit unlucky, but seeing a deceased relative lessened the bad luck.

Lu Jinzhao didn't dwell on the dream for too long. After getting up, she went to the workshop to finish the next part of the leather-making preparations, and then took out her phone to contact Sang Yuanbo.

I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you.

She sent the message, but Sang Yuanbo was not on the platform at the time, so she quickly received a response.

Sang Yuanbo was available immediately, so Lu Jinzhao arranged a meeting place with her, packed her things, and prepared to set off.

As she put the box into her backpack, the aloof sheepskin seemed to realize what she was up to and finally reappeared.

Are you going to open it?

Upon seeing the line of bright red characters, Lu Jinzhao's tone revealed a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, not pretending to be dead anymore?"

The sheepskin remained silent, as if to express that it was very different from before.

But after remaining silent for half the journey, just before Lu Jinzhao was about to meet Sang Yuanbo, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.

It serves as a reminder once again:

Give it to me, and I'll save your life.

Otherwise, you will die.

　I'm on my period these past two days, so updates will be less frequent. I'll increase the frequency in a few days.
