See the Law of Deception

Chapter 223 Heredity (29)

She didn't want to simply tell the sheepskin what it was interested in.

[Shall we exchange?]

"Okay, go ahead and tell me."

Lu Jinzhao: "That's not right, is it?"

"Why is it just me who said it?"

While chatting idly with Yangpi, Lu Jinzhao kept an eye on the changes around him.

There was still nothing unusual.

The footsteps Tianlei had mentioned did not appear, and her body remained as calm as ever.

Do you expect me to speak first?

I don't believe you.

The sheepskin was as sharp as nails.

You're definitely lying to me.

Lu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not refute it. Instead, he looked like he had nothing to lose and said, "Then let's not talk anymore."

【? 】

Why have you stopped chatting again?

Sheepskin was getting a little anxious.

Can't we discuss this together?

You think I'm the one who really wants to know?

Actually, you should be anxious to know what just happened!

It hastily uttered a large number of flawed words.

"Alright, alright." Lu Jinzhao pretended to be persuaded: "But how do I know you won't lie to me?"

Just like before.

After thinking for a moment, the sheepskin decided to back down.

We don't exchange, we trade.

I will execute any transaction.

"You can do other kinds of deals? I thought you could only trade souls with me." Lu Jinzhao seized on the key point again.

【.】

Sheepskin fell silent again, realizing he had let something slip.

It did it in a different way.

[I'm telling you this, and you tell me what you were thinking just now.]

"No."

Lu Jinzhao resolutely refused.

"I've said it before, haven't I? I've noticed that you seem unable to live without me."

"You want my soul, not someone else's."

In the quiet night of the village, Lu Jinzhao spoke slowly as he steadily walked forward.

“You’ve never had any other dealings with me before, nor have you demonstrated that you have this kind of role.”

“Even when you needed it most, that iron box, that ghost bone, you didn’t offer such a deal.”

"Because you can't."

After that, she never traded with sheepskin again.

There's no reason why sheepskin could suddenly do something that was completely impossible before.

"Why? Why are you suddenly able to do it now?"

"Is there any difference?"

What has changed?
"Because of the death platform?" Lu Jinzhao suddenly asked.

【? 】

Sheepskin couldn't hold back any longer.

[Since you're so good at guessing, why don't you guess what just happened yourself!]

Lu Jinzhao's assessment of this was: He's panicking.

"This is truly a death platform."

What are the more specific reasons?
Because sheepskin also came from the Platform of Death?

Or is it on a smaller scale, perhaps due to some other reason within this death platform?
I can't guess the smaller scope yet, but it's enough to deal with the sheepskin.

Okay! I understand! We'll use something else for the transaction!

【What do you want to know?】 Sheepskin didn't want Deer to guess anymore.

It knows that Lu Jinzhao is very smart, but it is always unwilling to face this fact. Does it want to admit that it is not as smart as Lu Jinzhao?

Never!
But right now, we really can't let this person keep making wild guesses!

Sheepskin compromised once again.

Lu Jinzhao had a lot of curiosity about sheepskin, but she was good at hiding it and wouldn't show it as obviously as this fool.

She pretended to think, but in her heart she was carefully considering the moments when the sheepskin had shown something strange in the past. Finally she realized that although it was not so strong this time, the sheepskin did really want to know what she was remembering.

The last time Yangpi was obsessed with something was the ghost bone in the iron box; before that, it was his deal with her.

Right now, it's probably impossible for the sheepskin to tell her directly why it was able to initiate other transactions, since it only backed down to change the subject.
"Then let's have something useful, some useful information that can help me get out of this platform alive."

Rather than continuing to explore the secrets hidden in the sheepskin, Lu Jinzhao chose to focus on the present.

【Can】

Sheepskin agreed without hesitation.

Although it wanted Lu Jinzhao to die here, it didn't have to die now. There were better places to bury her. Besides, it hadn't obtained all of Lu Jinzhao's soul yet, so it could wait a little longer.

As Yang Pi finished speaking, Lu Jinzhao saw a new line of blood-red words appear before him.

[Will a one-time information transaction be conducted?]

The transaction details are: everything I just recalled, useful information that can help me survive.

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "Deal."

The transaction is complete.

So tell me now, what was that you just thought of?

Sheepskin couldn't wait.

"You really want to know?" Lu Jinzhao's tone was thoughtful.

They would even go so far as to reveal its new capabilities in order to know.

That memory is very important to Yangpi?

Lu Jinzhao simply recounted what he had just recalled, without saying anything more or adding any subjective speculation; he simply stated the content of his recollection in a straightforward manner.

After she finished speaking, she asked Yangpi, "What are your thoughts?"

[You really can't remember at all what the medicine you drank was?]

[You have absolutely no recollection of the medicine's color, taste, appearance, or contents.]

Sheepskin pressed on with further questions.

Lu Jinzhao did not talk about her subjective feelings when she drank the medicine. She said that she drank a bowl of very effective medicine and felt better after drinking it, but she did not know what kind of medicine it was.

"I don't remember, I only remember that the medicine wasn't bitter," Lu Jinzhao replied affirmatively.

So, what Yangpi cares about is that bowl of medicine?
She didn't stop Yangpi from asking questions, and even seemed ready to answer them all.

But that's all the questions the sheepskin asked.

"Alright, since you don't have any questions, then you should tell me the information."

Everything is problematic; you can do everything, yet you can't do anything.

"What?" Lu Jinchao frowned.

The implication is that everything is problematic; you can do everything, but you also can't do anything.

Sheepskin doesn't want to help her, so it will only provide the most obscure and difficult-to-understand information within the limits of the rules.

Lu Jinzhao immediately broke down and processed this information, firstly...
All.

What does "all" refer to?
Village? Villagers? Memorial tablet?

That's not all.

Everything, of course, also includes her teammates, the passengers, the houses they lived in, the food they ate, even the air they breathed, and even themselves.

This is the whole story.

It wasn't unexpected that the villagers, who seemed so kind during the day, had problems.

Memorial tablets are not a good thing, and Lu Jinzhao had expected this, so now it's practically confirmed.

Her choice to stay away from the memorial tablet was correct.

Conversely, passengers who are constantly glued to the memorial tablets will naturally also encounter problems.

Considering the time Tian Lei unknowingly spent outside, it means that the "problem" has already taken root in her body.

just
As Lu Jinzhao pondered, he walked on and found himself outside the courtyard gate.

But her time did not slip away unnoticed.

She did not experience the time that Tianlei disappeared during.

She didn't hear any suspicious footsteps either.

why?
