See the Law of Deception

Chapter 166 The House of Evil Spirits (10)

Lu Jinzhao looked at the rules on the first floor and pondered for a moment before running down the corridor without hesitation, quickly heading towards the third floor.

"Isn't everything alright?" Lu Jinzhao stopped after running for a while and carefully felt the changes in his body.

Why are her teammates acting so timid and hesitant, as if they're afraid of walking too fast and breaking the rules by "running"?

Her teammates are very different from her.

Lu Jinzhao stopped at the door of Qiutian. Coincidentally, the rules did not prohibit entering other people's rooms this time, so Lu Jinzhao raised his hand and knocked on the door first.

There was no one inside.

So Lu Jinzhao took a step back, then raised his leg and kicked the closed iron gate hard!
--boom!

A loud crash was heard as the iron door was kicked open, slammed against the wall, and bounced back. Lu Jinzhao had forcibly broken through the door.

She stood there in silence for a while, not going in immediately.

After confirming that there were no changes in his body and nothing unusual happened around him, he cautiously stepped into the room.

There was no one in the room.

Autumn has vanished without a trace, and even Aunt Duan and Tan Meng have disappeared.

The layout of this room was not much different from hers, but there was a huge difference between them, simply because there was no corpse in this room.

There were no corpses, no furniture, and certainly no "bed."

If there was no bed, how could the mattress mentioned by Qiutian be stained with blood?

She is lying.

Faintly, Lu Jinzhao seemed to hear a sneer coming from afar.

Something was mocking her at that moment.

It's as if it's saying, "You finally figured it out," or as if it's saying, "You only just realized it?"

Lu Jinzhao's expression did not change at all because of this discovery; in fact, he only felt "as expected."

She had already guessed the outcome of the strange things she noticed and the fragmented clues before entering the room; now, this more direct clue simply confirmed her guess.

She wasn't surprised by this; she just felt that the truth was the worst one.

Her teammates were deceiving her and misleading her.

why?

Naturally, they wanted her dead.

Inside the station, who was she a complete stranger who wanted to kill her the moment they saw her?

The answer is actually quite obvious.

The waiting information indicated that she needed to find the truth behind the ghost story. Why was she given a separate prompt to find the truth when she only needed to survive for three days?
The truth is important, important enough to determine whether she can leave alive.

So, are her teammates trying to find the truth?

No.

They were just trying to cling to her, hinder her, test her, and put on a clumsy performance in front of her.

This is already the biggest flaw.

Secondly, Lu Jinzhao also pays great attention to the arrangement of the room layout.

Rooms 301, 302, 303, and Autumn, who lived across the hall from her, all conveniently enveloped her in the very center.

What's special about the room isn't that Qiu lives across the street, but that she lives in the very middle.

It has now been proven that there were indeed no corpses in the room in the autumn.

Many details on the platform are clues, not to mention the three corpses that died so tragically. Why do other people's rooms not have such important things, but only hers?

The room number wasn't randomly selected; it was assigned by the train. Surely the train didn't give her special treatment?

That means they simply don't need this important clue.

Her teammates didn't actually intend to inspect the other people's rooms; they pretended to be interested, then tacitly changed the subject to refusing.

Lu Jinzhao thought of the ghost that knocked on the door last night, who said the name of each of his teammates one by one.

It said it was autumn, Aunt Duan, and Tan Meng. It was as if it were crawling down the corridor, peering through the crack in the door, even the sound of its knocking was low and discreet.

But what if it was only half a body to begin with, and had already been cut in half?

The sounds she heard were the sounds of it crawling across the ground with its hands.

"And those rules on the blackboard."

Although her teammates pretended not to know, didn't they all choose to abide by the rules as soon as they saw them?

Even when the rules on the blackboard changed, they still carefully followed all the known rules.
Thinking about this, Lu Jinzhao suddenly realized something.

"I see."

"Because you cannot change the rules, nor can you immediately determine what the current rules are, you must comply with them all."

Looking at the empty room, Lu Jinzhao sighed, "Those who need to follow those rules aren't people, but ghosts, aren't they?"

In a haunted apartment, besides the human tenants, aren't the only other people there ghosts?

The only person Lu Jinzhao could be certain of was human was herself.

As for her teammates, they were already on the platform as soon as she got off the train.

She had absolutely no way of knowing whether they were human or ghosts.

If this assumption holds true, then the only special room is 302, and she is the only one who can change the space by entering and leaving the room.

The other teammates won't know when the space has changed, so they must always follow the known rules.

The rule prohibiting passengers from leaving the apartment building is a "protective measure" implemented by the train to balance the difficulty of the journey.

Because of this mission, besides her, there are only three ghosts left.

Should we stay here?

Suddenly, the sheepskin appeared.

[Stay in this apartment where killing is forbidden.]

"No." Lu Jinzhao turned and walked towards the door.

"Staying here is pointless."

Killing is forbidden. With three ghosts facing her, don't they have any other means besides killing?

If she only thinks about surviving here, will she still be able to leave the apartment on the third day?

She vividly remembered the horrific state of the three corpses in the room!

Moreover, if the three teammates are ghosts, then what are the three corpses in the room?

Is she the "prototype" of her teammates?

If so, then why are they separate?

Are there other secrets hidden here?

She thought of the ghost who could only knock on the door last night, and the little stories told by her three ghost teammates. All of this told her that the ghost was being suppressed and was looking for an opportunity to break through the suppression and seize her.

Staying in this apartment building means you won't die immediately.

The sheepskin seemed to be reminding her.

But Lu Jinzhao didn't think this guy meant well.

"Do you know where my three teammates are?"

Lu changed the subject today.

Yes, where did they go?

[So interesting]

Lu ignored it again.

Simply confirming that all three teammates are ghosts is not enough.

Where have they gone now?
The three people "disappeared" when she decided to break through the door of autumn.
