See the Law of Deception

Chapter 201 Heredity (7)

Why would you ask that?

Luo Yu didn't seem to mind the question; instead, she looked at the person who asked it with great interest.

However, to Lu Jinzhao, this slightly "interested" gaze was devoid of warmth.

There was neither malice nor goodwill; it was as if they were looking at something insignificant.

“When one of our city’s people went in, she noticed that one memorial tablet was missing. She…” At this point, the woman’s gaze briefly fell on Lu Jinzhao: “When she came out, she only took one memorial tablet with her. The only people from your city who entered the ancestral hall before us were from our city.”

"Ah," Luo Yu said, feigning sudden realization, "So you're sure the memorial tablet was taken by us? Then why are you asking in a questioning tone?"

"Because I don't want to offend you, senior." The woman's words were very humble, but if she really didn't want to offend you, she wouldn't have asked this question and brought it up.

But she had no choice.

She would definitely prefer to face people rather than ghosts.

"I need that memorial tablet." Without it, she doesn't know what will happen to her, but anyone with eyes can guess that she will definitely not have a good ending.

"I'm sorry," Luo Yu shook her head, "The memorial tablet isn't with me. Even if you ask me for it, I can't give it to you."

The woman who asked the question showed a slight change in expression, and Lu Jinzhao could see a hint of forbearance in her eyes.

“It’s better if it’s not with the elders,” she said. “Then I’ll go find the memorial tablet myself.”

In fact, she didn't know whether what Luo Yu said was true or false.

Anyone who dares to modify the mission on the first night must have enough money to buy their life and at least have room for error. Luo Yu's city doesn't have many people; there are only four, and she is the only one at the Special Grade.

Logically speaking, she might be the one who pays the most for her life, but since she is a top-level officer, there is a high probability that she will not risk her life.

After she finished speaking, Luo Yu's expression didn't change, and her tone remained relaxed.

"This is not okay."

Luo Yu, seeing the woman's suddenly somber expression, maintained her unchanged tone and expression, but kept her eyes fixed on the woman and said, "My teammates have other things to do, and I won't allow you to disturb them."

Her seemingly casual tone revealed her attitude.

The woman's expression immediately turned extremely ugly: "Aren't you asking me to die?"

"Huh?" Luo Yu tilted her head: "That's not how it works. The reason you're in this situation is because your teammates aren't smart enough, right?"

The woman naturally knew this, but blaming her teammates when she was already at a disadvantage was a mistake. She could only direct her anger at the city that had taken an extra place, hoping that her teammates would offer her some help.

Teammates don't want to face potential casualties so soon. Besides, having one person to observe is enough if they take fewer positions. It's best to maintain a sufficient number of people without sacrificing teammates.

Moreover, their city has received two Special-Rank Officials this time. Under normal circumstances, since she has spoken so frankly, shouldn't we be a little more considerate of the Special-Rank Officials behind her?

Why does this woman seem so unyielding, neither gentle nor harsh?

[The talks have broken down, should we start fighting?]

Sheepskin was also watching the show, even gloating over it.

[You dare stand next to them and watch the show? Aren't you afraid that if a fight breaks out, they'll all chop you up too?]

The sheepskin conveys a beautiful wish.

Lu Jinzhao ignored her; she didn't think a fight would break out right now.

Should we start fighting now?
It's too early.

As expected, after testing Luo Yu's rather firm attitude, the woman sighed, "Then it seems it won't work here." "Yes, what can we do?" Luo Yu also sounded regretful.

It sounds infuriating, but considering she's a top-tier character, it's not unbearable.

"Would you suddenly become incredibly kind to strangers?" the woman suddenly asked.

Luo Yu blinked: "Of course not, I'm not a charity worker."

"That's good."

After the woman finished speaking, she left the ancestral hall with her companions. As she passed by Lu Jinzhao, she turned her head and gave him a meaningful look.

Lu Jinzhao looked completely innocent, as if he hadn't understood what the two were saying at all.

【? 】

What did you talk about?

Why didn't a fight break out?

[The question is, will you show any compassion or not? If not, will you just send a memorial tablet and leave?]

Sheepskin was clearly very dissatisfied with the play.

It simply cannot comprehend the thought processes of these humans. If you want to steal something, shouldn't you just kill the other person and take it?

They chatted for a couple of minutes and then left?
Can we rely on begging for the kindness of others?
Lu Jinzhao resisted the urge to roll his eyes, thinking to himself, what could this idiot possibly know?

The questions the woman asked Luo Yu were merely a test; her primary target was never Luo Yu, who had taken an extra memorial tablet, or the city she lived in.

Asking Luo Yu whether she would show compassion was a final confirmation of Luo Yu's attitude towards her and the things that were going to happen in her city, whether she would completely stand idly by. Once she got the answer, she naturally left.

Initially, the woman's target was the group where the warehouse was located, where someone had also taken a missing memorial tablet.

They were testing Luo Yu's attitude. If there was something to talk about, that would be best. If not, that was fine too. They probably wanted to see what would happen if they got another memorial tablet, so Luo Yu wouldn't be their first target.

There were only two of them, Lu Jinzhao and Tian Lei, and neither of them were Special Grade. They were the weakest and least threatening. Moreover, Lu Jinzhao was the one who reacted the fastest last night. She was very smart. Keeping a weak but smart person on the death platform was not a bad thing for a Special Grade.

So, if you want to seize a memorial tablet, you should naturally focus on the warehouse team, which is one tablet short, has a top-level member, and has the same number of members as the city where Luo Yu is located.

Since you're already missing one memorial tablet, then let's have another one missing.

The person asking Luo Yu if she would "show kindness" was not herself, but the warehouse she was about to visit.

After all, the city where the woman lives has the largest population, with two special-class passengers. If Luo Yu wants to maintain the balance of the situation, he will inevitably intervene in this matter.

But Luo Yu didn't seem to mean that.

What is she thinking?

Lu Jinzhao was very curious.

Instead of ensuring a relative balance on the field, are they allowing the "strongest" side to weaken another team of equal strength?

But the worst thing right now is that she and Tianlei are being treated like "pigs" by these top-tier individuals?
"There's going to be a good show, do you want to come?"

Luo Yu suddenly took a few steps closer to Lu Jinzhao and asked with a cheerful and lighthearted expression.

This guy seems like a total comedian.
However, the information states that she is a very reliable person to her teammates.
