Chapter 165 The House of Evil Spirits (9)

Lu Jinzhao looked at her: "I also want to ask, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Are the passengers on other platforms all mentally ill?
She felt that her teammates this time were too strange.

“What do we want to do? We want to complete our mission and leave this place,” Autumn said matter-of-factly.

Is not this nonsensical?

Lu Jinzhao suddenly leaned forward, getting closer to Qiu Tian, ​​and asked, "You two know each other?"

Autumn's expression froze: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Jinzhao smiled at her stiff expression: "I just find it strange. We're already at a Class A platform, so why is the atmosphere so tense before the mission even begins?"

"You did this on purpose?"

I deliberately put on a show for her.

However, the performance was flawed, which made her feel uncomfortable.

After all, he is not a professional actor.

Can you answer?

The black-haired girl leaned closer: "What do you want to do?"

"You've misunderstood." Qiu Tian couldn't help but take two steps back to create some distance.

Lu Jinzhao straightened up, her smile fading slightly, and her tone returning to normal: "Is it a misunderstanding? It's okay, I don't care what you're doing, just don't bother me, so don't bother me either."

As for cooperation, she has absolutely no intention of cooperating with these people anymore.

"Aren't you curious?" Autumn suddenly asked.

"I'm not curious," Lu Jinzhao replied decisively.

She wasn't curious about their relationship or what they were planning. The only reason she cared and investigated was for her own benefit. If she disregarded any threats to her, she really didn't care what these strangers were thinking or plotting.

“But I will be watching you,” she said honestly.

Lu Jinzhao sensed a dangerous and strange aura emanating from these three people, and she felt that they seemed to want to harm her.

"You just said that?" Qiu Tian was somewhat surprised.

"This doesn't affect anything."

She only said she would keep an eye on them; she didn't say anything like she would kill them if the opportunity arose or if necessary.

Lu Jinzhao wasn't sure if she was having paranoia, but she didn't mind striking first.

“Okay, you really should be careful.” Qiu Tian seemed moved by her honesty: “I really don’t know that Aunt Duan, but she just tried to win me and Tan Meng over. She seems to really dislike you.”

"As for Tan Meng and me, we've only worked together once, and we're far from being familiar with each other."

"Just in case, I think you'd better not end up alone. Even if Tan Meng and I have any plans, getting on the train is our top priority. But Aunt Duan is different."

Autumn is implying that Lu Jinzhao should stay with her and Tan Meng if he has nothing else to do.

But Lu Jinzhao doesn't believe it.

Even though Qiu Tian's words sounded sincere, and this person seemed to be the most trustworthy of the three, she still didn't believe it.

"Okay, thank you, I'll consider it." Lu Jinzhao smiled, her tone exceptionally sincere.

But after saying that, she showed no intention of joining any group and turned to walk towards the third floor.

Autumn was left behind her; the shadows of the stairwell obscured her face, and her gaze toward Lu Jinzhao's back seemed to be shrouded in shadow as well.

The conversation with autumn made Lu Jinzhao even more certain of one thing.

This teammate is completely untrustworthy and must be guarded against.

They definitely have some plans.

what is it then?

And why?

It seems that these teammates had already made their decision before even entering the apartment.

The only time they had to discuss things was right after they got off the bus. And I was the last one to get off.

But is it necessary?

At that time, nothing had even started yet, right?

Could it be that someone's fate is particularly unusual, or that the backlash from supernatural objects forces her to kill other passengers?
Anything is possible; in any case, she must be wary of these people.

Lu returned to the third floor today.

Before opening the door, she took a deep breath, composed herself, and then pushed the door open.

The room was indeed completely new.

The dusty ground and the white cloth that was not lifted at all.

This is room number 3.

"I had previously guessed that the room and the apartment each had their own problems, but it's clear that the changes to the room followed the changes to the apartment."

"Now, I need to verify the last one."

She went into the room, closed the door, then lifted the two white sheets and let them fall to the ground. She walked to the door again, opened it, and went downstairs.

On the way, she saw her teammates, who looked at her with strange eyes, as if she had done something wrong.

But Lu Jinzhao doesn't think he did anything wrong.

She walked to the blackboard on the first floor, and after seeing what was written on it, her breathing paused subtly for a moment.

Killing is prohibited.

The rules have changed, and there's only one.

This is blackboard number 4.

"Killing is forbidden?"

This rule is so weird!

If this is something that must be followed, how can there be a rule prohibiting killing inside the platform?
This completely contradicts the essence of the platform and the instincts of ghosts.

"Or is this just a rule for the tenants, and ghosts don't need to follow it?"

Even so, it's still strange. She has been to slaughterhouses and other platforms where passengers are encouraged or even encouraged to kill each other. Having experienced so much, Lu Jinzhao can confirm that every platform hopes to see passengers killing each other.

Otherwise, why would the waiting information at the [Inheritance] station be misleading, making them believe that only one person could get out alive?

"If the rules prohibit passengers from killing each other, does that mean that the power of the ghosts on this platform has exceeded the limits?"

That's why it's necessary to restrict humans from killing each other.

This rule did not make Lu Jinzhao feel at all; she only felt that the air in the apartment seemed to have become colder.

"However, one thing can be confirmed now."

Something that puzzled her slightly.

The point at which the space changes is most likely the moment she enters the room and then walks out of the door.

She wasn't sure if it was a problem with room 302 or something else. If possible, she had to try entering other people's rooms and then coming out again.

However, at the same time, another concern arose.

"So far, I haven't encountered the same blackboard twice. Should I cherish the apartment where the rule against murder is located?"

"Do not."

After some deliberation, Lu Jinzhao rejected the idea.

Killing is forbidden, but there are plenty of ways to commit a heinous act on the platform.

"We still need to verify it as soon as possible."

A sense of urgency filled her heart. The apartment that kept jumping between spaces, the seemingly friendly rules for passengers, the eerie noises at night, and the strange teammates—when these things came together, Lu Jinzhao had a premonition that if she didn't hurry, everything might be too late.
