See the Law of Deception

Chapter 164 The House of Evil Spirits (8)

It was clearly just Lu Jinzhao who didn't want to stay on the first floor and chose to return to the third floor, but in the end, everyone else also returned one after another.

"Little Deer." Before opening the door, Lu Jinzhao was called again.

Aunt Duan walked behind her, looked at her, and said, "It's already the second day. Do you have any thoughts on the truth?"

Lu Jinzhao turned to look at her, narrowing her eyes slightly: "Not yet."

"How about we swap rooms and look for any new clues?"

As she spoke, Qiu Tian and Tan Meng also came up the stairs one after another.

The two heard this, but neither of them said anything.

Lu Jinzhao looked at the middle-aged man and asked bluntly, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"I just feel that we might need to hurry; the longer we delay, the more unforeseen circumstances will arise."

"So, would you like to come and see my room?" she suggested.

eccentric.

Lu Jinzhao looked at her, observing her expression, eyes, and tone of voice. She sensed that Aunt Duan spoke with a strong ulterior motive, and her words and eyes revealed insincerity. She did not genuinely want to exchange clues with her to find the truth.

So what was her motivation?

Regardless of the reason.
"Sorry, let's talk about it another time."

Lu Jinzhao chose to refuse.

She opened the door, ignoring the other person's anxious look as if they wanted to say something more, and went inside before closing the door behind her.

There was a knock on her door, but the person knocking only dared to call her softly, not daring to make too much noise, and also because of the rules on the blackboard, they dared not enter her room.

At this moment, Lu Jinzhao had no time to care what the people outside the door were up to.

There's something wrong with her room.

Same problem as the first floor.

At first glance, nothing seemed to have changed, but Lu Jinzhao remembered that the white cloth in the room had been lifted and covered up by herself, and its shape and folds had actually changed quite a bit. Even a lot of the dust on it had been shaken off. It should not be like this now, as if it had never been lifted at all.

Her room returned to its original state.

Nothing had changed before she left the room.

So when did the changes begin?
It could only be the time between her stepping out of the room and reaching the first floor.

Lu Jinzhao walked up to the white sheets again, reached out and lifted one of them. The corpse hidden under the white sheet was no different from the one she had seen yesterday.

She went to the bedroom again. Even though she didn't rest there, a room that had been unoccupied for a long time would leave some traces if someone stayed there overnight. But now, they were all gone.

"Is it time travel? Or something else?"

If it's related to time, then that's troublesome.

The knocking at the door stopped temporarily, and Lu Jinzhao stared into thought as he looked at the two white sheets in the room that were no different from those from yesterday.

Apartment, room, blackboard.

It's like a scene from time travel, but with different "rules" on the blackboard.

"No, it's not time travel."

If it were a time rewind, the writing on the blackboard should not have changed.

She suddenly remembered the surrounding environment she had observed when she first entered the platform but before she entered the apartment.

The sky was overcast, and several buildings looked exactly like the apartment building in front of her. At the time, she simply assumed they were all completed in the same batch, which was quite common, but now...
"So, the space itself has changed?"

What if several apartment buildings not only looked exactly alike, but also had identical interiors?
The only difference might be the "rules" on the blackboard. "Everything else is the same, but in each apartment building, different notices, or rules, are written on the blackboard."

If you think about it this way, it seems much more reasonable.

"But what is the reason for this shift?"

How did they move from one building to another?
Ghosts can certainly do this silently, but there has to be a time, a point in time when the change occurs.

"Then, let's do what we just did again."

If we just speculate, there are many possibilities, but if we do everything we just did again, we might be able to reach a conclusion.

If doing this causes the words on the blackboard to change again, it means she may have jumped through space again.

If nothing changes, then the problem may not be with what was done. The jumping between spaces may be fixed at a certain point in time, or at some other trigger point she was unaware of.

But before that, Lu Jinzhao lifted the white cloth and threw it on the ground.

She needs to make this room different from both the previous one and any future one.

"So, this room is number 2."

The initial room is number 1.

Lu Jinzhao opened the door again. She wasn't too worried about anyone messing up the things she had arranged in the room, since there was a no-trespassing rule written on the blackboard, and it seemed that the other teammates were following the rules on the blackboard.

They were all very cautious.

She didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door, she would be met with three pairs of eyes.

Her three "teammates" were standing outside their respective doors, seemingly discussing something.

Upon seeing her come out, their gazes fell upon her.

Lu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow slightly, ignored the group, turned around and closed the door, then headed downstairs.

"What are you doing?" Qiu Tian, ​​who lived across the hall from her, suddenly strode over and stopped her to ask.

“I think you’re right, we still need to keep an eye on the first floor.” Lu Jinzhao looked like he had just realized something.

A hint of irritation flashed across Qiu Tian's face: "You!"

She wanted to say something, and her voice suddenly rose, but she immediately realized something and lowered it again.

Lu Jinzhao looked at her and found it a bit strange. Since the rules on the first floor had changed, why was she still following the original rules?
But she didn't say much, she just turned around and walked downstairs.

Behind her, she heard several footsteps; it was her unfamiliar teammates catching up again.

"She's so clingy!"

Lu Jinzhao thought this to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.

When she came down to the first floor and looked at the blackboard, Lu Jinzhao saw that the words on the blackboard had changed.

[It is forbidden to occupy the restroom for extended periods, damage other people's property, steal, or rob.]

The third rule, blackboard number 3, then, does that mean her room also becomes number 3?
Lu Jinzhao did not rush back to the room to check immediately. Instead, he went up to the second floor first, then went back down to the first floor to check the blackboard. The blackboard had not changed.

She went up to the third floor again, then returned to the first floor, and the blackboard remained unchanged.

So, after ruling out these possibilities, it seems that only one possibility remains.

Lu Jinzhao took another step upstairs, but she was blocked. Her teammates looked at her in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

　There are still today
