Chapter 186 Shadow Puppet Making

Lin Lin stayed in Yuncheng for two days. During that time, the people who inquired reported back that they had not found any information related to Lu Jinzhao's parents.

"Could it be that the name is wrong?"

Lu Jinzhao didn't have much hope for this, and simply said, "It's okay, don't worry, it's already like this anyway."

"Perhaps once I get to the death platform, I can get some clues?"

She said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"That's bad luck." Lin Lin shook his head. "Anyway, I'll go back and check it carefully. I should be able to mail the skin and bone to you in a couple of days."

After all, she couldn't turn herself into a corpse here; she would have to return to the capital and rely on other people's supernatural items.

Two days after Lin Lin left, Lu Jinzhao finally finished making the shadow puppets of Qin Wan and Du Yu.

With the help of [Luck Transfer] and [Substitute Death], Lu Jinzhao's sense of urgency finally eased a little.

At this moment, the materials that the fortune teller had promised her were also delivered.

"You can call this material a counterfeit."

“We took into account the uniqueness of your destiny and specially found this for you.”

"As the name suggests, it can imitate other destinies. Although there will be flaws, once it is imitated, it can be used indefinitely. And it is also very simple to replace it; just imitate another destiny."

"And here is a list of fates that I'm willing to provide for you to replicate."

The items sent by the fortune teller far exceeded Lu Jinzhao's expectations; they were indeed quite suitable for her.

After all, she already had several shadow puppets with different functions, and she had many options in mind for what else she needed. With the [counterfeit], she could imitate the most suitable fate based on the advance notice from the Death Platform.

The materials provided were very generous, even including space for repairs; the fortune teller was indeed very sincere.

"After all, powerful people who are willing to provide you with materials can't wait indefinitely until you need them before trying to find a way to give them to you, so counterfeit products are actually more suitable."

The fortune teller explained.

“I understand.” Lu Jinzhao nodded. “I’m very satisfied with the fake.”

"Okay, contact me whenever you want to forge them, anything on the list is fine."

After the fortune teller left, Lu Jinzhao carefully examined the list and immediately spotted [Nemesis].

A destiny she desperately wanted.

It's too versatile; it's a destiny that can be effective in almost any situation. However, Lu Jinzhao has not decided to imitate its nemesis.

Since her next platform is destined to be a death platform, it means she has a month to prepare in advance. She already has Lin Lin's "Silence" for versatility, but perhaps a more targeted destiny would be better.

After all, it's a counterfeit, and its capabilities are flawed.

After completing the initial leather preparation work for the counterfeit, Lu Jinzhao began preparing to tackle the shadow puppet making of [Tan Meng].

She had a premonition that after turning the ghost into a shadow puppet, her fate would inevitably be upgraded once again.

Although there is no distinction between levels of destiny, its power will indeed gradually increase with the number of times it is used and the proficiency level increases. And now, the shadow puppets she has made are no longer afraid of ordinary water, fire and sharp objects because of the improvement of their destiny.

This means that these seemingly unremarkable shadow puppets can no longer be destroyed by ordinary people; to "kill" them, one must possess supernatural powers.

"Why does it look a bit like a ghost?"

However, her shadow puppets can be killed, while ghosts cannot, so they are far from being the same.

Two shadow puppets climbed up Lu Jinzhao's trouser legs and onto her body, finally each choosing a wrist to stick on, like two wristbands or strange tattoos. Lu Jinzhao took out Tan Meng's skin, a piece of skin that had already been processed by the train and no longer needed to be tanned. However, the problem was that when she placed the skin on the workbench, preparing to use the carving knife, she felt a kind of resistance.

This skin "refuses" to be molded or sculpted.

Lu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's not up to you."

This isn't your apartment, it's my home.

As she controlled the carving knife to make the first cut on "Tan Meng," she felt a slight buzzing in her brain, as if a bit of her energy had been drained away. This meant that the number of times she could carve on this skin in a day was limited.

"As expected, the three-month timeframe was correct."

A few days later, she received the materials from Lin Lin, which were very heavy.

After opening and reading the materials, Lu Jinzhao frowned and called, "Are you alright? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Wasn't that to give you a change of clothes?" Fortunately, Lin Lin's tone didn't sound weak.

"I didn't know there was such a thing as changing clothes?"

"I know my own destiny. I'll definitely be used a lot. Maybe one of my trains will break down every time I get on the train. That's why I sent you a little extra material. Don't worry, I'm fine here. I won't die. I'll just fix it next time I get on the train."

Now that things have come to this, Lu Jinzhao is at a loss. She can't just send these things back and tell them to put them back, can she?

"Please consider my feelings at least a little bit. I was starting to think you had disassembled yourself and mailed yourself to me."

"Maybe I'll piece myself back together from inside the delivery box and crawl out to scare you to death!" Lin Lin threatened.

"Then should I not have soaked you in the basin?" Lu Jinzhao hesitated for a moment.

"Uh"

"Didn't you feel shocked, worried, sad, anxious, and tearful when you saw the package? And then you called me, crying and begging me not to hurt myself too much?"

Lu Jinzhao: ?

"Did you just put my body directly into the basin of water?" Lin Lin questioned her.

Lu Jinzhao: "Please don't say that, it sounds a bit like a pervert."

"And it wasn't a corpse, it was part of the bones and skin."

If the body is soaked in water for a few days, will she still want her house?

She said, "And isn't this your fault too? There's still blood on it. If I don't deal with it right away, there will be a big problem in this weather."

Lin Lin disagreed: "It's unreasonable to blame me. After all, isn't it a bit much to make me deal with my own bones?"

"That's the strange thing about being a passenger; even human skin and bones can be mailed over openly."

The deliveryman won't even check the contents; he could send explosives and it might still work.

It seems that similar things have happened before.

"Next time I'll try to crawl into the delivery box myself and see if I can be mailed here," Lin Lin said whimsically.

"Absolutely not!" Lu Jinzhao immediately shouted in protest, "I don't want to receive this kind of package!"

"Hey, what do you mean? You don't want to see me?"

Lu Jinzhao glanced sideways: "Live animal transport, even if you're a passenger, you still have to use the pet lane, right?"

She just felt that doing that was too bizarre. The platform was already bizarre enough; please don't let such strange situations occur in real life, okay?
Don't act recklessly just because you're a passenger!
