See the Law of Deception

Chapter 204 Heredity (10)

Cold sweat quietly appeared on his forehead.

Death came too quickly. The man who had worked so hard to survive until now, becoming a first-class passenger, possessing a destiny and supernatural items, and considered a "veteran" on his platform, was easily crushed like an ant on the roadside.

How could this be?
He was facing someone who was just another level one, and not even a well-known one at that.

But are they really the same kind?

The woman felt Lu Jinzhao's gaze on her, a chilling feeling akin to being stared at by a ghost.

She couldn't help but wonder if, without their noticing, the ghost had already possessed the passengers?

Yes. For example, when taking the memorial tablet at night.

The woman couldn't help but let her mind wander.

But she also knew that if that were the case, the special agents present would not have been indifferent.

She was facing someone who looked like a ghost.

"Now how to do?"

"Is she looking at me to kill me?"

"My city has two special-grade stations. Who knows what might happen on the platform next? She should at least have some concerns, right?"

Will an apology be of any use?

A series of slightly flustered thoughts surfaced in the woman's mind, and the first thing she decided on was to apologize.

Lu Jinzhao's strength exceeded the expectations of both her and the person who orchestrated this "minor incident." Even though she and her companions were on the same platform, she was certain that they wouldn't go to great lengths to protect her if necessary.

Just like now, everyone is watching coldly, especially after Lu Jinzhao displayed absolute strength, it's even less likely that anyone will step in to help her!
Therefore, she must apologize.

The moment the word "yes" was uttered, the woman saw the girl, whose oppressive aura was almost ghostly, raise an index finger to her lips and gesture for her to be quiet.

The woman immediately fell silent, no longer daring to speak.

Then, Lu Jinzhao, with a smile, spoke in a soft yet undeniable voice: "No need to apologize, you just need to do one thing."

Instinctively, the hairs on the woman's arms stood on end, and goosebumps rose on her back.

She sensed boundless malice in those words.

It was as if a vengeful ghost had been unleashed.

She suppressed her urge to retreat, quietly gripping the supernatural artifact in her hand. Her destiny [Shadow] activated, and the shadow beneath her feet swayed slightly.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked tentatively.

As soon as the words were spoken, the girl who had been smiling faintly suddenly grinned and saw the other person's white teeth and upturned lips. She also heard a voice that seemed to come from hell.

"Now, destroy the memorial tablet in your hand."

"I'm curious, what happens to the person who damages the memorial tablet?"

The woman's pupils dilated sharply.

She had considered what Lu Jinzhao might ask her to do: kneel, kowtow, kill someone, take away the memorial tablet she had just obtained, or something else, but she hadn't expected this.

The moment Lu Jinzhao finished speaking, the woman felt the gazes of everyone else present.

Unexpected, surprised, suddenly realized, and the same curiosity.

Those gazes were fixed on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

That even included the gazes of her companions, who were clearly curious about the consequences of destroying the memorial tablet.

There is no way to escape.

The woman looked up at Lu Jinzhao: "If I did this, would you forgive me?"

Lu Jinzhao's crescent-shaped eyes curved happily again, and she replied with a smile:

"how could be?"

When you made that suggestion to the man, you didn't think about leaving me any way out, so why would I leave you any way out?
That's fair.

“I will forgive you for what you did today,” Lu Jinzhao kindly added. “What about tomorrow?” the woman couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhao looked at her as if she were some ignorant child: "Of course, we'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the woman felt a pang of despair.

She understood what Lu Jinzhao meant. As long as she lived, Lu Jinzhao would keep watching her, making her do things like destroying the memorial tablet, using her, exploiting her, until she died.

This is "atonement".

From then on, she not only had to face ghosts, but also Lu Jinzhao.

What is the difference between the requirements put forward by Lu Jinzhao and the requirements of the platform task?
Isn't the point to just let her die?

But she had no choice but to complete it, because she was certain that Lu Jinzhao had the ability to kill her.

At least, she didn't want to die right now.

"When will this end?" Finally, the woman had to ask this question with a glimmer of hope.

She wanted to live, which is why she resorted to any means to get back the memorial tablet, even at the cost of offending others and being used as a pawn in a test.

Lu Jinzhao gave her answer: "After this platform event ends."

If Tian Lei were here, she would immediately know that Lu Jinzhao's words meant that this woman would definitely not live to see the end of the platform.

But none of the people here know anything about Lu Jinzhao.

Even though they believed that the woman was unlikely to live to that time, they still thought that what Lu Jinzhao meant was that once this event was over, she and the other party would be even.

"Okay." The woman nodded and stopped struggling.

She took out the memorial tablet, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but when she saw Tan Meng still sitting on Lu Jinzhao's shoulder, she gritted her teeth and forcefully snapped the tablet in her hand.

The shadow beneath her feet followed her movements, and within seconds, she unleashed superhuman strength, actually managing to snap the memorial tablet in two.

With the sound of the memorial tablet breaking, the woman's face suddenly froze.

She sensed that something had changed in that instant.

It was a mysterious "premonition," like a hallucination, or perhaps just a gentle breeze, or even just a sudden chill in her heart. But she knew that her act of breaking the memorial tablet had caused some changes.

Indeed, this was a terrible move that should never have been made!

Lu Jinzhao noticed the change in her expression and realized that destroying the memorial tablet did indeed have some consequences.

"From now on, wait for me here every morning," Lu Jinzhao commanded the woman, needing to observe her changes.

The woman's face was deathly pale, and she could only respond.

She thought that at least Lu Jinzhao and the others were curious about her "fate" and wouldn't make a move against her for the time being. During this period, she could still think of a way.

She hasn't reached a dead end yet, and she can't give up like this.

After Lu Jinzhao finished what she wanted to do, she swept her dark eyes over everyone present. Everyone who was looked at by her involuntarily looked away. Most people did not want to meet her gaze directly, at least not now.

Only a few premium passengers and a very small number of first-class passengers would make eye contact with her.

Lu Jinzhao blinked, feeling a little regretful. The top-level officers were all very good at putting on a show, making it impossible for her to tell who was behind the incident. But after all, there were only a few top-level officers, so it didn't matter if she couldn't find out who it was.

She'll always find a way.

You scared them.

Sheepskin sensed negative emotions from these people, and ghosts are most sensitive to such emotions.

Murder alone might not seem like a big deal; after all this time, no passenger can say they have no connection to "human life." But Lu Jinzhao's actions just now have instilled fear and apprehension in these passengers towards her, their fellow human.

Unlike those extreme, crazy people who take the stand, she is more rational, smarter, and more decisive. She was not simply driven by anger to take revenge on those who tried to hurt her and get what she wanted from it. She used the other party to test the stand mission and plunged the woman into long-term pain and anxiety. This is what makes her even more frightening.

If we had simply killed those two, it would have made them wary, but not to the point of fear they feel now.

A powerful, vengeful, ruthless, and rational person, no one would want to provoke her easily.

Lu Jinzhao perfectly achieved the situation she wanted to reach.
