See the Law of Deception

Chapter 195 Heredity (1)

On the day of heading to the death platform.

Lu Jinzhao did not borrow the pocket watch from Qin Wan again. The return date of the Death Platform was uncertain, and she could not be sure if she could return in time before Qin Wan entered the next platform. Moreover, the only teammate with her this time was Tian Lei, and no one was sure if the pocket watch would be lost.

If you say something nice to me now, I might give you some hints so your death won't be so gruesome, okay?

As I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed to the train station, Yangpi cheekily popped up.

This time, it truly felt that Lu Jinzhao was about to die.

Although the Death Platform can no longer do anything, even without doing anything extra, it is enough to make Lu Jinzhao die a round trip!
Lu Jinzhao ignored its trash talk.

Lately, Yangpi has been popping up every now and then to say some trash talk in an attempt to provoke her, but overall it hasn't been very effective. It just can't quite hit the spot that makes Lu Jinzhao break down.

Even when he occasionally said something that made people feel uncomfortable or concerned, Lu Jinzhao managed to gloss over it with his acting skills.

Since the sheepskin couldn't possibly provide her with any useful information anyway, she simply ignored it completely.

Upon arriving at the underground station, Tianlei was already waiting in the waiting room.

The information in the waiting room was exactly the same as what they had known in advance.

[Train Class Arriving at This Station: Special Class]

[Two passengers boarded the train at Yuncheng Station this time.]

[List of personnel: Lu Jinzhao, Tian Lei]

[This site: Genetics]

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

"Little deer."

When Tian Lei saw her, she no longer had the nervous and slightly timid expression she had when they first met. She could even call her name more affectionately. However, when her gaze fell on someone, she couldn't help but show a hint of shyness, a habit she couldn't shake.

Lu Jinzhao nodded to her to indicate that she had heard. After reading the waiting information, Tian Lei came over. Her face was slightly pale, most likely due to excessive tension caused by the impending arrival at the death platform.

Tian Lei himself was clearly used to this tension, and after getting closer to Lu Jinzhao, the tension lessened slightly.

She now considers Lu Jinzhao as a semi-reliable teammate.

The reason she only trusted him was twofold: firstly, she couldn't fully trust anyone, and secondly, she hadn't actually fought alongside Lu Jinzhao on the platform yet, so she always harbored some doubts.

But perhaps it's a habit she's developed over the past two weeks; being near Lu Jinzhao does make her feel relaxed.

After all, most of the time they spent together, Lu Jinzhao could accurately know where her limits of tolerance for various things were, which made her feel relaxed about going out, which was rare for her.

With the roar of machinery, the train carrying death arrived at the station.

Lu Jinzhao and Tian Lei walked to the ticket gate. The behemoth looked just as familiar as ever, and the hand extending from the ticket gate was exactly the same as the first time they had seen it.

It took the ticket, then returned it, and the amount on it increased from 4200 to 7200.

Her passenger rank was upgraded to Special Class, but only "quasi-Special Class." She would only be truly promoted and granted special privileges once she survived this death-defying journey.

This means that, currently, she can only be considered a first-class passenger, and the ticket does not provide her with an opportunity to "go all in".

Whether heading to a low-level platform, a high-level platform, or even the most peculiar Death Platform, the train only gives them ten minutes. Lu Jinzhao recalled the rules Lin Lin had explained regarding the Death Platform, the most noteworthy of which was naturally the [Mission].

Unlike other platform tasks which are directly written in the waiting information, the tasks in the "Death Platform" are real-time.

Once on the platform, passengers will be notified of their current task at an uncertain time and place.

The task must be completed. If the task is not completed, the ticket will spontaneously combust, and along with the ticket, the life of its owner will also be consumed.

Every mission at Death Platform is incredibly dangerous; in fact, every mission carries an absolute risk of death. The best way for passengers to avoid this is to "buy their lives." The amount on their tickets can be used to modify the "words" in the mission descriptions. Each word is very expensive, and the price increases depending on the difficulty of the mission.

In addition, the requirements for "identity" at the Death Platform are even stricter. If you are a student, you must abide by the rules that students are supposed to follow. However, skipping classes is also allowed, as long as you pay money, you can avoid being held accountable.

Each time a passenger completes a mission, they receive a large sum of money as a reward, but this reward is only settled after they return to the train.

The train's return time is uncertain and will vary depending on the progress of the passengers' tasks on the platform. This means that passengers cannot survive until the train arrives by modifying the "time" on their tasks. The slower the tasks are completed, the more dangerous it becomes.

Ten minutes passed quickly, the car door opened, and Lu Jinzhao saw for the first time the place named "Death".

This is the entrance to a village. A light rain is falling from the sky, and the weather is quite gloomy. The dark clouds press down, seemingly very close to the ground, and looking up makes one feel oppressed.

The ground was muddy from the rain, and Lu Jinzhao smelled the earthy odor, which seemed to be mixed with other smells, like the smell of rotting plants and animals, mixed with the rainwater and wafting into his nostrils.

The village was at the end of the road, about a hundred meters from where the train stopped. It was difficult to see clearly through the misty rain; only a blurry silhouette and the towering, seemingly endless mountains behind it could be seen.

As Lu Jinzhao stepped off the train, the cold air, accompanied by rain, immediately lashed against her.

It's windy here, and the wind, mixed with icy rain, clings to your body. Just standing here makes you feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not to mention the wind was quite strong, and as it blew through the mountains, it brought with it some strange noises, intermittent, like someone sobbing or wailing.

"This place is really unlucky."

He heard voices from the side and turned his head to see the doors of several other carriages open, with people getting off the train one after another.

She thought of "House of Evil Spirits." Back then, she only saw her "teammates" standing outside the train after getting off, but she didn't actually see them get off. This time, she could confirm that these teammates were real, living people who had gotten off the train.

"It's raining? I didn't bring an umbrella. Will this rain cause any problems?"

"Another person got off the bus," muttered another person.

"Even if there are problems, we've already soaked them all."

"What's that smell in the air? It stinks. Have people died in the village already?"

"Are we going to stand here and discuss these things?"

"Anyway, there's no rule about what time you have to enter the village, right?"

Everyone was talking amongst themselves, but they were only discussing things with people on the same platform.

　Initiating a fierce assault on the top-secret prison [Writer's Assistant]! Target: 6k daily!

　　Hopefully, we can clear the map, complete the mission, and successfully evacuate.
