See the Law of Deception

Chapter 214 Heredity (20)

"What are you doing?"

Lu Jinzhao heard a slightly hesitant voice from the person next to him.

She turned her head and saw the two men's wary eyes.

This vigilance wasn't because I felt there was anything wrong with her, but because, even though I assumed she was perfectly lucid, I felt she was extremely dangerous.

Even though they also felt that Xu Ming was acting strangely, their main thought was to "see what Xu Ming was planning to do" in order to find more clues.

As for potential hidden dangers, such as villagers being killed, or Xu Ming being possessed by a ghost and bringing danger, these are basically assumed.

After all, Xu Ming's condition suggests that something else might happen to him later.

But they never expected that Lu Jinzhao would kill Xu Ming directly!
This decisiveness is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

She acted immediately, thinking that it was better to eliminate potential dangers than to have fewer clues.

Thinking back to what happened yesterday, they felt an inexplicable sense of apprehension towards Lu Jinzhao.

The special agent realized that this might be someone who could make what she considered the "right" decision at any time.

She was too rational, which made her seem somewhat frightening.

It's best not to make an enemy of such a person, because she rarely makes mistakes and her use of her abilities is definitely more precise than other passengers, making her extremely difficult to kill by her own kind.

Therefore, the tone of this question is not accusatory, but rather a normal inquiry.

They were even prepared not to receive a response.

Surprisingly, the man who had just killed Xu Ming with ruthless methods answered their questions in a relatively gentle tone.

“I don’t have a good feeling about him. I think he’s discovered something that’s bad for us. I don’t know what it is yet, but I don’t want him to continue living.”

"Moreover, if we observe further, there is another symptom that is even more serious. Judging from her actions today, we might be able to see what Xu Ming will do next."

That's why he was so decisive in killing Xu Ming.

She hesitated for a moment, but the next second she immediately dismissed the guess, and was more inclined to believe that whether or not there was another person to observe, Lu Jinzhao would probably kill Xu Ming immediately.

If any of the many first-class passengers who came this time were to make it out alive, she felt that it was most likely to be Lu Jinzhao.

Thinking of this, her expression changed very subtly.

So, only two people from their city entered the station.
At this moment, Lu Jinzhao's level of danger rose again in her mind, placing him on the same level as other special-grade individuals.

All of these fall under the category of "avoid hostility unless absolutely necessary, and strive for friendly cooperation; if hostility is necessary, one must consider the possibility of death as a result."

"Okay, what are your plans for his body?"

She quickly adjusted her mindset. Although Lu Jinzhao's words sounded like nonsense, she didn't think he was lying. On the contrary, Lu Jinzhao's words confirmed her guess and made her more certain of the person in front of her.

But what should be done with the villagers and Xu Ming's body after he is killed?
Lu Jinzhao immediately replied, "Call the other villagers over to clean up."

"This is indeed a good idea."

By bringing other villagers over, they can learn more from the villagers' attitudes.

This person is indeed very clever.

"I'll go get someone," the Level 1 student next to him volunteered.

She could see the situation clearly; it was impossible to send a top-tier officer to run errands. Lu Jinzhao's current status could be seen from the attitude of his own top-tier officer. So, of the three people present, who could be the one to run errands? Only her.

The villagers arrived quickly, and there was more than one; three people hurriedly ran over behind that first-level leader.

Lu Jinzhao carefully observed the villagers who had run over. They hadn't seen the body yet, but they seemed to have heard about the incident. Their expressions were complex, showing anxiety, panic, fear, and an indescribable unease.

He seemed to be worried about something.

When they arrived nearby, their first thought was to find Xu Ming's body. They visibly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the head was separated from the body.

Only then did they see the dead villagers, and they showed the same sadness that Lu Jinzhao was familiar with, the kind of sadness that ordinary people should feel when they see their familiar relatives and friends being killed.

"We'll handle this body."

One of the older villagers said, panting.

"I want to know, how will you handle this?" Lu Jinzhao asked without any hesitation.

She could tell from the attitude of the village chief and the little girl that the villagers treated them very kindly, which is why she chose to speak her mind.

Sure enough, the villager answered her question without hesitation: "The outsider's body must be burned. As for Acheng, he must be buried tonight. The body cannot stay in the village overnight."

"Why can't a corpse be kept overnight?" This time it was the Level One officer who asked.

"It's too unlucky; it'll easily attract bad things. That's just the custom in the village," the villagers simply said.

"Then why aren't the bodies of outsiders buried, but instead burned?" the first-level official pressed.

The villager first sent two other people to call for help, while he stayed behind to watch over the body. Then he answered her question: "He was an outsider and he killed someone, which is taboo. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, he must be burned."

"Rules? What rules are there?"

The villagers stopped answering and simply said, "It's not the time for you to know yet."

"What if I kill someone?" Lu Jinzhao suddenly asked.

The villager was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her: "You killed this outsider? No problem, you did a good job."

Lu Jinzhao shook his head: "No, what if I kill the people in the village?"

The villager's expression changed instantly. Lu Jinzhao's words seemed to instill a sense of inexplicable terror in her. She quickly waved her hand, "That won't do, child, you can't kill people."

“Not a single one can be killed.” She emphasized, her eyes fixed on Lu Jinzhao, as if demanding her agreement.

Lu Jinzhao's expression softened, and his tone became gentler: "Auntie, I was just asking out of curiosity. I didn't intend to kill anyone."

"That's good, that's good." The villager patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jinzhao glanced at Xu Ming's corpse and said to the two remaining people in the warehouse, "You two watch over this place. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first. I'll contact you later."

"Are you going to find another one?" Cheng Ying, a special agent, asked Lu Jinzhao.

She had already realized what Lu Jinzhao was planning to do.

“Just going to take a look,” Lu Jinzhao replied.

Although she believed that the woman was most likely dead.

Her situation is far more serious than Xu Ming's. If she can't regain her senses without killing someone, then what she's looking for are passengers.
