See the Law of Deception

Chapter 185 Looking for clues
As Lin Lin recounted the story, the car drove to the outside of the residential area.

She followed Lu Jinzhao back home and looked around the place with some curiosity.

On the way, she had already told Lu Jinzhao about her destiny, and Lu Jinzhao did not hesitate to take her to the workshop.

"Let me show you my destiny."

Lin Lin was somewhat surprised: "It's actually something you can see directly?"

That's quite rare.

Lin Lin pushed open the door and walked into the workroom.

The windows of the workshop were closed, but the lights were bright, and she could see everything inside at a glance.

There were several human skins and bones, and various carving knives and tools were neatly arranged on the table. At first glance, the scene was even a little bizarre.

But Lin Lin's expression didn't change at all; in fact, he moved closer, his face full of curiosity: "Is this a shadow puppet?"

"You did it?"

"Amazing!"

Lu Jinzhao naturally didn't think that Lin Lin would feel uncomfortable or disgusted by the scene in front of her. She walked to the workbench and introduced to Lin Lin, "Yes, my destiny allows me to make and use shadow puppets."

"The specific effect depends on the raw materials of the shadow puppet. For example, this one was given to me by a teammate during one of my performances. Its destiny is to change one's luck."

After Lu Jinzhao finished speaking, Lin Lin blinked and said, "What an amazing destiny! It's much more useful than mine!"

"I'll mail you a copy of my skin and bones when I get back to the capital."

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Okay."

[Silence] is also very strong, strong in that it is comprehensive enough. Even when facing illusions, remaining silent can maintain a moment of clarity at critical moments. If the ghost is not strong enough, it may not even be able to drag the holder of the destiny into the illusion.

The same principle applies to other attacks by ghosts; simply remaining silent will give you more room to survive.

"So how did you become a passenger?" Lin Lin asked, looking at Lu Jinzhao after visiting her studio.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jinzhao told Lin Lin what had happened on the day she first received her train ticket.

Naturally, this included sheepskin, but she concealed the fact that she had traded souls with sheepskin.

"She must know you."

After listening, Lin Lin came to a definite conclusion: "She doesn't seem to be randomly pulling some unlucky person onto the train; she's keeping an eye on you."

Why did she do this? Who told her to do it?

"I'm also very curious about this, but unfortunately, I haven't found any useful clues." Lu Jinzhao sighed. To this day, she still hasn't found anyone among the passengers who knows her roommate.

"Could it be your parents?" Lin Lin suggested.

"If, as you said, they are most likely passengers, is that possible? After all, they even left something for you."

“It’s not impossible, but there’s one question I haven’t figured out.” Lu Jinchao frowned slightly: “If they were passengers, when did they become passengers, when did they leave those things for me, and how long did they live as passengers?”

"For such a supernatural item to remain, it must be at least a top-tier item, right?"

"But I did not find their names in Yuncheng's current passenger records."

"If they did it, why would they do it?"

Why ask your roommate to do it?

"How did they manage to complete this plan so many years after their deaths?" There are too many things that don't make sense.

Therefore, Lu Jinzhao found it difficult to be certain of this guess, but he also felt that the possibility was not entirely zero, after all, trains are involved, and there are too many unknowns and mysteries.

"Is it possible that your parents aren't actually from Yuncheng, just like me, which is why we can't find them in Yuncheng?" Lin Lin raised another possibility.

This also explains why Lu Jinzhao has never met his parents' relatives and friends, and why they always live in other places for a long time.

"Then why did they come to Yuncheng?"

Why leave her in Yuncheng?
Is there anything special about this place?
"Anyway, I'll investigate first." Lin Lin clapped his hands. "You definitely don't want me to change my ticket back to Yuncheng, so I'll stay in the capital and help you investigate this matter."

"You know I don't want to, huh?" Lu Jinzhao looked at her amusedly. "Then why did you come to me to discuss it?"

"Isn't that a good opportunity to meet?" Lin Lin muttered. "You're my only good friend now!"

Perhaps because she had deliberately severed her friendship with Lu Jinzhao, the people who used to surround her gradually distanced themselves. Even after meeting some fellow passengers in the capital who would no longer ignore her, Lin Lin did not choose to develop another friendship. Instead, she actively shut herself off.

Therefore, when she encountered the "silence" destiny, her first reaction was that this destiny was very suitable for her now.

When she returned to Yuncheng some time ago because of the news about the death platform and happened to meet Lu Jinzhao, she was, to some extent, "playing" her past self.

Lu Jinzhao turned slightly and looked into Lin Lin's eyes after hearing her words: "Then thank you for your trouble, flying over to see me."

It's said that flying is tiring, but that's not all it's about.

"It's alright." Lin Lin blinked. Her beautiful eyes no longer held the innocence and liveliness of her high school days, but were now filled with a hint of weariness, yet still sparkling brightly. "Knowing that it's to see you, I won't feel tired even if I have to take a flight for another day!"

"I don't have any plans to go abroad for the time being," Lu Jinzhao replied calmly.

As expected, Lin Lin's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Ugh, you're so annoying, is that what I meant?"

The two chatted for a while, their conversation seemingly unrelated, and the atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious. However, the troublemaker always seemed to appear regardless of the atmosphere.

You two seem to have a really good relationship.

You care about her a lot.

The sheepskin, subjected to one-sided emotional abuse, suddenly appears, and the blood-red words floating in the air reveal undisguised malice.

Lu Jinzhao raised her eyebrows slightly, but only for a moment before she looked away as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong?" Lin Lin noticed her momentary distraction.

"It's nothing, I just think I saw a mosquito."

【? 】

【What's the meaning】

Ignoring the barrage of questions and curses that followed, Lu Jinzhao turned to ask Lin Lin about his next plans.

After learning that she had no plans and didn't want to go out, she continued making shadow puppets. Lin Lin just quietly stayed by her side watching her carve the shadow puppets, occasionally glancing down at her phone as if replying to some messages.

"I asked someone to inquire for me, and we should have news soon," Lin Lin said, looking up.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhao looked at Lin Lin innocently and asked, "Who are you looking for? Your friend? Didn't you say I was your only friend?"

Lin Lin said expressionlessly, "Your acting skills are a perfect 100. You're not allowed to enter the entertainment industry."

"You're my only good friend, but I still need to maintain some basic social interaction with other passengers, you know, since we have to go to the platform together."
