See the Law of Deception

Chapter 202 Heredity (8)

Lu Jinzhao walked with this unfamiliar Special Grade officer on the way to the warehouse.

Do you think they'll start fighting later?

Luo Yu's voice sounded quite enthusiastic, as if she were talking about some interesting gossip.

"I don't know." Lu Jinzhao's answer was quite standard. In fact, she wasn't just giving a perfunctory answer; she genuinely didn't know if a fight would break out.

Without knowing the details of both sides involved in the conflict, Lu Jinzhao will not draw any conclusions easily.

"I guess so."

Luo Yu answered to herself.

She hoped a fight would break out, as this would be the most advantageous situation for everyone else, including herself, Luo Yu.

"Maybe."

Lu Jinzhao did not refute, her tone was somewhat indifferent. In any case, whether a fight broke out or not, it would not delay her from collecting information about the memorial tablets. The number of memorial tablets was limited, and there would always be people who would not have one.

Even though the number of memorial tablets was sufficient due to the deaths of two people in the conflict, Lu Jinzhao believed that someone would eventually "lose" a memorial tablet.

She had no interest in mediating the fight and had no immediate plans to kill anyone, so she remained a bystander to the outcome of the current conflict.

As long as her goals aren't affected.

When Lu Jinzhao arrived at the gate of the small courtyard where she lived, she saw that quite a few passengers had already arrived.

Everyone seemed to know that something was about to happen, and they all rushed over.

She looked around but didn't see Tian Lei.

Besides her, another person from Luoyu City also came, while the girl at the ancestral hall had all her teammates present.

"You're already missing a memorial tablet, so why should you take another one from us? Isn't that just being unreasonable?"

Lu Jinzhao heard someone questioning him.

He was one of the members of the warehouse team.

"Is this a place for reasoning?" the woman, now missing her memorial tablet, asked bluntly.

The words were so blunt that the other person's face twitched, unsure how to refute this seemingly shameless but actually truthful question.

"We can't give you the memorial tablet. You'd better look for one elsewhere. Didn't someone take an extra one?"

The person speaking clearly wanted to shift the blame, but he didn't expect that the woman had already spoken with Luo Yu before she arrived.

"Since some of you have already missed out on the memorial tablets, one more shouldn't matter, right?" The woman said nonsensically, her malice undisguised, and the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became heavy.

With things having come to this point, conflict seems inevitable.

But the woman suddenly laughed and took a few steps back: "Just kidding, don't be so nervous."

"I understand. If you're unwilling, I'll think of another way. I don't want to fight with you right now."

As she spoke, she backed away, trying to leave the courtyard.

The previously tense atmosphere became somewhat strange. Lu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, finding the situation rather intriguing.

She didn't think the woman was joking. What reason did she have for suddenly giving up?
Lu Jinzhao tried to put herself in their shoes and came to a conclusion: if she had already decided to take the memorial tablet from this group and was about to back down after making a tough statement, it meant either she had encountered a terrifying force that she could not possibly resist, or she had already succeeded.

There's no overwhelming force in sight, so has the woman already succeeded?
Does she, or her friend, possess an ability similar to telekinesis?
Clearly, Lu Jinzhao wasn't the only one who guessed it.

"Hey, check if your memorial tablets are still there."

The first person in the warehouse to react was the one who hadn't received the memorial tablet.

Since confirming that she was the "lucky one", she has been in a state of deep panic. She didn't even sleep well last night, and kept thinking about what to do.
One of the questions is whether it's possible to use existing supernatural items and destiny to steal someone's memorial tablet; if that's not possible, stealing it is acceptable.

So she reacted the fastest.

The man who was talking to the woman's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly opened his backpack, but didn't find what he was looking for.

"Damn it! My memorial tablet is gone!"

"I knew it." Lu Jinzhao blinked, somewhat curious about how the woman had managed it.

Is it a supernatural object, or a matter of fate?

What are the limitations when using it?
Is it possible to steal other people's supernatural items, or even to steal their destiny?

That's a threat.

Sensing Lu Jinzhao's current state of mind, [Killer] rubbed against the skin of her wrist, while [Silence] also crawled out a little from Lu Jinzhao's collarbone, revealing a head to "look" at the outside world, as if searching for who the "threat" was.

[Lu Jinzhao] is hidden in her hair, looking at the person behind her. Sometimes, through the perception of her own shadow puppet, Lu Jinzhao feels that she has grown a pair of eyes on the back of her head, but she can not actually see the scene that [Lu Jinzhao] "sees" completely, at most she can sense it.

Her shadow puppets do not possess self-awareness, but they have an instinct similar to that of small animals.

"The show is about to begin," Luo Yu, who had been standing next to Lu Jinzhao, suddenly said.

Lu Jinzhao looked at her strangely, not understanding why she didn't go to her teammates but instead stood with him.

The people in the warehouse had already reacted and quickly chased after her. The woman hadn't gone far; in fact, she had only left the courtyard and showed no intention of escaping.

"Hey, give me back my things!" the man shouted angrily at her.

The woman looked completely innocent: "What is it?"

"Of course it's the memorial tablet you just stole!"

The woman looked even more innocent: "I stole the memorial tablet? Are you kidding me? I have my own memorial tablet, why would I steal it?"

wonderful.

Lu Jinzhao cheered in his heart.

She would never say such a thing.

She was still too weak.

This woman is wicked.

For some inexplicable madness, the sheepskin suddenly became righteous, but the next second:
Just like you.

Lu Jinzhao: ?

Her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but then she held back.

"You shameless bastard! What do you mean 'your memorial tablet'? You stole mine!"

The man's face visibly flushed red; perhaps he hadn't experienced anything like this before.

But after he said that, he calmed down a bit. He knew that such words were meaningless; on the platform, they could only be used to vent emotions.

"Further words are useless." He looked up, his eyes sharp: "You should pay the price for what you've done."

"Wait a minute." The woman suddenly raised her hand and asked, "Are you sure?"

“If a fight breaks out, it won’t just be between the two of us. You have to understand, this is only our second day here.”

"I only completed one mission."

Fighting now would be a losing proposition.

"I can't care about that anymore." The man knew perfectly well that without a memorial tablet, what difference was there between him and waiting to die?
Last night he was somewhat relieved that he wasn't the last one to enter the ancestral hall, but unexpectedly, he encountered this situation today.

"If you don't have a memorial tablet, can't you go and borrow one from someone who does?" the woman suggested, seemingly with good intentions.

"I definitely can't lend it to you. Two top-level experts have come to our city. You'll have to think carefully about whose you should borrow from."

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of Lu Jinzhao.

Lu Jinzhao looked back at the other person with a somewhat confused expression, thinking to herself, "Me?"

I haven't killed anyone for quite some time now.

　Keep it up, Yunlili!
