See the Law of Deception

Chapter 194 On the Eve of Entering the Station
After reviewing Luo Yu's information, Lu Jinzhao asked a very sincere question.

"Is this balance scale truly equivalent?"

You say that a talent weighing ten pounds can be exchanged for a stone weighing ten pounds, and you call that equivalence?

“So I think this is a very dangerous ability.” Tian Lei replied seriously, “She can use her ability to temporarily block other people’s abilities, and she can also make some completely unfair exchanges, as long as she has materials to exchange with.”

"I heard that the backpack she brought onto the platform was full of weights."

They're quite strong.
Perhaps she has a way to improve her physical fitness; even if she doesn't, she'll try to get some after obtaining the destiny chart.

Or perhaps, what did she use as a price to exchange for "power"?
"This destiny is also very useful."

Although there are limitations, such as needing some time to "weigh" it before use and having to exchange it with an object of the same weight, overall it is indeed a destiny with a very high potential.

"Both of these fates are very interesting; I'd like to explore them."

As Lu Jinzhao looked at it, he subconsciously wondered what role he could play if he possessed these destinies.

But Tian Lei was very wary of this: "I think that both the playing cards and the scales may have the ability to temporarily seal our destiny, which is not good."

Tian Lei values ​​her "fate" highly; it is her trump card and the key to her escaping from dire situations time and again.

If those two people showed hostility towards her on the platform, Lu Jinzhao believed that Tian Lei would not hesitate to start thinking about how to eliminate the Special Grade.

No, she's probably already thinking about it.

"So, have you decided what the copied shadow puppet will copy?" Tian Lei asked tentatively. "Should we look for a destiny that can counteract them?"

She was genuinely wary.

Lu Jinzhao thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense.

Because she realized something.

Both of these exceptional destiny charts are related to the ability to control others to a certain extent. The train that selected the person—was this purely coincidental?

She had originally intended to leave the shadow puppet to someone more suited to the platform, but now it seems there's only one option left.

Even though she had already made her decision, Lu Jinzhao still sent a message to Tian Lei: "Do you have any recommendations? Among the fates you know of."

Tian Lei replied to the message very slowly this time; she was thinking about it very seriously.

If it were before, when they had just met, and Lu Jinzhao had asked such a question, Tian Lei would probably have hesitated and given a perfunctory answer like "I don't really know either."

But now, after much deliberation, she has produced a list.

As expected, among the three fates highlighted in bold on the list, there is a "nemesis".

This was originally her first choice, but she was still observing the fate. It was also the fate that Lu Jinzhao finally decided to copy after thinking about it.

She guessed that Tian Lei couldn't possibly be unaware of his nemesis, and would most likely choose his nemesis, so she deliberately asked this question.

“Okay, let’s go with the nemesis,” Lu Jinzhao replied.

The suggestion was adopted.
A sense of joy welled up in Tian Lei's heart, but then a sense of worry emerged.

【Nemesis】is a very strong destiny, but 【Nemesis】can also be used against her. After all, everything has its nemesis, and 【Turning adversity into opportunity】is no exception.

But, as for Lu Jinzhao, it should be fine, right?

They're friends now, and friends don't betray each other, at least not when facing a life-or-death crisis. She felt it was neither possible nor appropriate. It was better for Lu Jinzhao to possess the ability to restrain other top-tier supporters than to be completely unprepared.

Despite some concerns, Tian Lei still felt that it was a better choice to let Lu Jinzhao have the [nemesis].

This might also be because she now sees Lu Jinzhao in a slightly different light than other strangers.

As for Lu Jinzhao being able to obtain a copy of [Nemesis], Tian Lei was not surprised. In her impression, Lu Jinzhao was capable of such things and should be able to interact with those top-tier individuals in Yuncheng. If she made the suggestion, then she should be able to do it.

Otherwise, why ask her for advice?

Wouldn't it be incredibly disappointing to offer suggestions but then fail to follow through?

Fortunately, Lu Jinzhao did not make her feel "disappointed" even once.

In the end, you still chose your nemesis, so what were you hesitating about back then?

"What do you know?" Lu Jinzhao replied to Yangpi with a phrase it often used.

Even if she really likes her "nemesis," she will wait and observe until the time is right before making a decision.

How could a stupid creature like sheepskin, which didn't grow much brain even after consuming her soul, understand?
Copying a destiny doesn't require a complicated process. The key is to obtain the person's "permission" and then attach the shadow puppet to their skin, allowing the destiny holder to use it once, after which it can be copied.

However, since it is a shadow puppet, and the [Nemesis] is obtained through copying, its abilities are diminished.

However, since the destiny itself is powerful enough, there is no need to worry about it not being able to exert its influence; it's just that the number of times it can exert its influence will be quite limited.

On the last night before the platform of death approached, Lu Jinzhao slept for three hours and then woke up naturally.

There were still six hours until the train arrived at the station.

Lu Jinzhao did a final check of his belongings to make sure nothing was missing. He also checked all the supernatural powers he could use and made sure everything was in order. Then, he sat idly on the edge of the bed and looked at the peaceful night in the real world.

After dawn, she will head to the Death Platform, where there will be no leisurely time.

Are you scared?

"Sheepskin suddenly said."

This statement is not meant to be sarcastic, but rather it represents something akin to "inspiration," a sudden flash of insight.

Even though it didn't see anything clearly, it just felt that Lu Jinzhao was checking something, and then started to stare blankly after he finished checking.

But for some inexplicable reason, it asked that question.

Lu Jinzhao was also somewhat surprised, wondering if this thing was deliberately mocking it, or if it had suddenly become smarter?

She was indeed somewhat afraid, both from the uncertainty of the unknown death platform and from the fear of facing even more terrifying ghosts, as well as the worry that "if she dies on the platform, everything will be in vain."

It's impossible for her to be completely devoid of emotions, but in reality, these worries and fears are very faint, a vague layer, neither real nor intense, and unable to truly affect her.

Perhaps it's because her soul is no longer whole, or perhaps it's because her experiences have helped her grow a lot, but Lu Jinzhao doesn't reject these emotions.

This makes her feel that she is still a human being.

She even cherishes this feeling and is willing to immerse herself in it for a short time.

After all, such a gentle and harmless "fear" was very rare for her.
