See the Law of Deception

Chapter 188 This Platform: Heredity

Time passed slowly, and after Lu Jinzhao finished making all the shadow puppets in his hands, he waited for the arrival of the death platform.

One day, while she was reading some folklore books, a deafening train whistle suddenly rang out in the previously peaceful room. It was a familiar sound, one that she would never forget, even in her dreams—the sound of a train.

Lu Jinzhao looked up from her book and indeed took out her train ticket, but before she could see the changes on the ticket clearly, a piercing, bone-scraping pain suddenly shot through her left arm.

A line of small, black characters, as if emerging from her flesh, appeared on her arm.

[Passengers please note that the train bound for Youxian Town will arrive at the station in one month. Please bring your luggage and be on time at the ticket gate to board the train.]

[This train is a Special Class train.]

The platform name for this train's stop is: Genetics.

Sinful bloodlines perpetuate sin, and no one can escape it.

Have a pleasant journey.

These words were very small, but as long as Lu Jinzhao's gaze fell on them, even if he couldn't see them clearly, the information was clearly imprinted in his mind.

"It's finally here."

Death Platform.

After she read the brief message, the words on her arm suddenly disappeared, as if the sharp pain had never happened.

She looked at the ticket, and sure enough, the information on it had changed: premium train, Yuncheng Station to Youxian Town, first class seat.

She still had 4200 left to buy her life. According to the information she recently learned about the Death Platform, 4200 was actually a pretty good amount in the Death Platform.

Even though the special-class platform offers a 3000-dollar "life-saving money" just for ticket checking and boarding, there are many other places inside where you need to spend money.

No one can save up enough money to buy their life at the death platform.

The message appeared only two minutes before the fortune teller sent his message.

[The death platform has arrived; you're on it, aren't you?]

Have you decided which destiny pattern you want to replicate?

This is also a question that Lu Jinzhao is currently pondering.

Judging from the station name and information alone, this mission seems to be related to bloodlines and will take place in a small town.

However, this information alone was not enough for her to determine which destiny might be most effective.

"There are still some things I haven't thought about yet," Lu Jinzhao answered truthfully.

There is actually a very versatile and foolproof option, but compared to versatility, specificity is definitely better.

No rush, you still have a month to prepare. It's a bit early to make a decision now. Let's see who else will be going to the platform with you this time.

[If all goes well, we should arrange for you to meet beforehand so you can discuss things and see what ideas you have, and then make a decision based on those ideas.]

She gave Lu Jinzhao the list of all the items that could be copied, so the fortune teller didn't offer any more personal advice to Lu Jinzhao. She felt that Lu Jinzhao might not be the kind of person who needed others to help her make choices.

"Are there any other people from Yuncheng who were selected?" Lu Jinzhao asked.

There is one, but...

The fortune teller seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She's at level one, just like you, but she's been at level one for almost three years.

three years?

Based on previously obtained information, if a train judges a candidate to have "potential" after being promoted to Level 1, then the "death platform" will arrive very quickly. This is the first time in over three years that a candidate has entered the death platform, which means that the train judges that the candidate's potential at Level 1 is insufficient.

But she has lived for three years since becoming a Class 1 passenger, which is definitely considered "long-lived" among high-class passengers.

[Her personality might have a few issues, but as a teammate, well... in some ways she's pretty good, right?] The fortune teller seemed a little unsure how to describe this level one player.

This piqued Lu Jinzhao's curiosity: "Tell me more specifics."

【.】

Okay, actually she's just a little timid.

She becomes extremely vigilant on the platform, almost to the point of being overly cautious. She has collected a vast amount of information about the platforms, essentially having a mental encyclopedia of them, all to avoid accidentally breaking any rules.

Teaming up with her allows you to benefit from her experience; she's very good at avoiding risks.

However, she was also extremely cautious and lacked any sense of teamwork; everything she did was solely for her own survival.

Because of her extensive experience at various train stations, coupled with her strong emphasis on the value of her life, she has developed a somewhat neurotic personality, so one might need to be careful when interacting with her.

If she believes her teammates pose a threat to her survival, she will immediately abandon them and try to make them make a mistake and be killed by the ghost, even if they don't actually pose a real danger to her, as long as she believes so.

This has happened more than once or twice, which has led most premium passengers to avoid appearing on the same platform as Tian Lei in missions.

Timid, sensitive, easily stressed, and may have some degree of paranoia.

"He sounds like a very hardworking person."

The fortune teller was a little surprised to see the message from Lu Jinzhao. She looked at the person next to her and said, "It's rare that someone would give such a positive evaluation of Tianlei's deeds as 'hard work'."

"Looking beyond the surface, Tian Lei is indeed working very hard to survive." The person beside him didn't look up, still busy with their own work, and simply gave a calm assessment.

The fortune teller shrugged: "But most people think that Tian Lei is too unstable, a dangerous person, a time bomb."

"But the danger didn't really come from her. Once she left the platform, she was just an ordinary girl who was a little timid, wasn't she?"

The fortune teller smiled and said, "Perhaps."

She neither denied nor entirely agreed.

[Let's pray that this death platform doesn't incite passengers to kill each other.]

She smiled and sent a message to Lu Jinzhao.

In this way, your teammate won't pose too much of a danger to you.

Otherwise, Tianlei's fate is quite troublesome.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Lu Jinzhao put down her phone and pondered how she should treat this teammate.

She had already taken precautions against the mental health issues that were common among passengers, but it sounded like this teammate was a bit more special.

"Although its talent and potential weren't high enough, it survived on the platform for a long time on its own, and was finally chosen by the train and placed in the death platform?"

Lu Jinzhao felt that his teammate must be in a very bad mood at this moment.

For someone struggling to survive, nothing would be more unsettling than putting her in a life-or-death situation.

The phone screen lit up; it was a friend request from someone.

From Heavenly Tears.

Hello, my name is Tian Lei, and I am a selected candidate for the Death Platform.

Although timid, she actively added strangers as friends because they were about to go to the death platform together.

"He really is a very hardworking person."
