See the Law of Deception

Chapter 171 The House of Evil Spirits (15)

When Lu Jinzhao passed by 302, he didn't go in, but he did open the door.

This was a backup plan she had in case what she planned to do didn't work out.

She stopped at the end of the corridor and turned to observe the three teammates chasing after her.

The rule states that running in the corridor is prohibited, but the ghost's actions are not limited to "running." However, her three teammates are now obediently approaching her on foot.

Even the speed was slowed down.

But they weren't in a hurry.

In their eyes, the situation was already like catching a turtle in a jar.

The three "people" walking in the dimly lit corridor are like a ruler moving on a scale. The moment the ruler reaches its target is the moment of death.

Lu Jinzhao took a few deep breaths. She was still waiting, waiting for her three teammates to get close enough so that they would all come over and walk into the largest public restroom, instead of standing guard at the entrance of room 302.

These three ghosts disguised as humans didn't actually know why Lu Jinzhao didn't enter the 302 switching space, but instead chose to walk down a dead end. They didn't "think" at all, but simply followed the aura and kept getting closer.

When they got close enough to Lu Jinzhao that the distance between them was less than five meters, "Autumn" had already raised her hand, eager to grab the only prey in front of her through the air.

As his inhuman teammates drew closer, Lu Jinzhao was undoubtedly under immense mental pressure.

Whether it was the cramped corridor, the dim environment, the filth on the walls, or the faint stench in the air, everything was constantly putting pressure on her, not to mention her three teammates with strange expressions.

But Lu Jinzhao was not in a hurry. Even though she wasn't wearing a bell on her wrist, her heartbeat was steady and slow.

When her three teammates were drawn to her and walked up to her, but still kept a little distance, Lu Jinzhao decisively turned around and ran into the toilet.

The restroom is slightly more spacious than the hallway, making it easier to move around.
Lu Jinzhao ran into the messy toilet and immediately spotted her target.

window!

Unlike the room where the windows were covered with newspapers, the bathroom windows were larger and made of glass. Although they hadn't been cleaned in a long time, making it difficult to see outside, some light still managed to pass through, allowing a glimpse of the outside world.

Before the ghost entered the toilet, Lu Jinzhao decisively ran to the window and then smashed the glass with a punch.

The shards of glass cut her finger, but didn't cause her to bleed much.

Lu Jinzhao didn't care about this minor injury. Her current physique was very strange. Martial arts training made her body stronger and better able to recover than ordinary people, while the ghost bone reduced a certain "activity" in her body.

However, these two things did not conflict.

This resulted in Lu Jinzhao's wounds being less fatal than those of ordinary people, less likely to bleed profusely, and healing faster.

It seems that apart from the lower temperature, slower heart rate, and weaker breathing, it did not have any negative effects on her.

Now, she broke the glass, and while her three teammates were still walking into the toilet, she decisively used her elbow to clear away the remaining glass. Then, she grabbed the window frame with both hands, leaped up, and sent her body directly out of the window!
"The waiting area information says I can't leave the apartment building. Can't I go through the window instead of the door?"

Moreover, she didn't intend to leave the apartment; she was just taking a shortcut.

However, Lu Jinzhao wasn't sure if this would work, so she climbed out of the window, but didn't let go of her hand. Then, she felt the same strange sensation as when she left the room last night, only it came on much faster, and she might lose consciousness completely in less than two minutes.

It works.

Having confirmed this, Lu Jinzhao no longer hesitated. He braced his toes between the bricks, gripped the gaps in the wall with his fingers, and relied on his strong physique to descend rapidly on the vertical plane.

On the first day, she followed several "teammates" to explore the entire apartment building. The location of the toilets was fixed, as was the location of the windows!

Soon, guided by her senses, she arrived above the second-floor bathroom window. Lu Jinzhao's fingers loosened slightly, and her body fell rapidly. Then, she immediately seized the fleeting opportunity, gripping the window frame tightly with all ten fingers, easily bearing the weight of her entire body, including the gravity from the natural descent!
"Deer!"

She heard someone calling her from above.

Lu Jinzhao raised her head slightly and saw a scene that made her feel a little creeped out.

Her three teammates all leaned out of the third-floor bathroom window, looking down at her, their mouths opening and closing as they called her name, but the parts of them above their necks that were above the apartment were like deflated balloons, just wrinkled skin floating in the air.

Those three disgusting and eerie human skins seemed unaware of their current state, and even tried to reach out to grab Lu Jinzhao. However, the outstretched hand immediately seemed to have its flesh and blood drained away after leaving the window, or perhaps there was no flesh and blood inside to begin with. Then, as if it had lost its support, it slammed against the window.

The hand tried to reach down unwillingly, but it could only limply stick to the wall and writhe like a maggot.

Only the three deflated balloon heads floated in the air, twisting and sticking together as a gust of wind blew.

Lu Jinzhao felt a chill run down her spine after just one glance. She dared not look any longer, controlled her knees to bend forward, and then exerted force with her body, smashing the glass in front of her with a bang. Before her consciousness could take it all, she returned to the apartment.

"What exactly is that thing?"

Even though she could no longer see them, the fear brought to her by the three heads still lingered. It was almost a physical fear; just one glance was enough to send chills down one's spine. Even Lu Jinzhao, whose body was not in good condition, got goosebumps.

She hadn't had such a strong physical reaction to simply seeing something terrifying in a long time.

"Those three things are definitely not simple."

However, they seemed to be restricted by something, and did not unleash the power that Lu Jinzhao found almost unbearable.

"Perhaps it's because I exposed the truth that they weren't human so early on?"

If the truth is not revealed, will we eventually have to confront the terror of these three teammates?

It's not certain, but Lu Jinzhao finally understands why Yangpi thought she was bound to die.

Facing three such ghosts alone, even with her decent means of survival, she still felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Moreover, unlike the strange feeling she had when she tried to enter the corridor last night, which disappeared after she returned to her room, the "pressure" she felt from climbing out of the window onto the exterior wall of the apartment did not dissipate when she returned to the apartment.

This pressure felt somewhat mental; after just one short trip, Lu Jinzhao felt her brain become heavy. She realized that she couldn't stay away from the apartment any longer, even if she wasn't actually leaving.

She cannot rely on this method to get through the entire day.
