Chapter 224 Heredity (30)

Lu Jinzhao did not choose to go back immediately.

She remained in the shadows, quietly waiting for time to pass.

She couldn't be 100% sure whether it was Tian Lei or her who was acting strangely, but Lu Jinzhao had a premonition that she, who hadn't shown any abnormalities throughout the entire process except for getting lost in her memories, was the one who was more "strange" at this moment.

She didn't want to reveal this.

Even though Tian Lei is her teammate.

While waiting, Lu Jinzhao pondered again what Yangpi had said: "You can do anything, and you can't do anything."

This statement may seem like a riddle, but it's actually not hard to understand if you think about it carefully.

You can do anything, but whatever you do will lead to danger.

Going a step further, it means that something has to be done.

Otherwise, why would the prompt include "Can do anything" instead of just "Cannot do anything"?
It's telling Lu Jinzhao that she has to do something.

But doing it is wrong.

"Another multiple-choice question."

And it seems that neither option is the correct answer.

Lu Jinzhao couldn't help but sigh. This is so troublesome.
This is much more troublesome than the problems she encountered at a regular platform.

However, what exactly does the "what" in "can do anything" refer to?
We can't exactly let her set the mountain on fire, can we?

It's unclear at the moment, so Lu Jinzhao can only put the issue aside for now.

When it was almost time, she stepped out of the shadows and returned to the courtyard.

After opening the door, she saw Tian Lei standing at the door waiting for her.

The other party breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had returned safely.

As soon as Lu Jinzhao returned to her room, she immediately asked, "How much time has passed?"

"One hour."

No problem, sure enough, her time didn't just slip away for no reason.

Where is my memorial tablet?

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Lei handed her the memorial tablet, but looked puzzled: "Your memorial tablet is a little different from mine."

"What?" Lu Jinzhao asked as he took the memorial tablet. Looking down, he realized that what Tian Lei had said was different.

Her name was not fully displayed on her memorial tablet.

The crooked and slanted strokes barely managed to form the character for "deer".

This is a good thing.

Lu Jinzhao immediately thought so.

She subconsciously felt that it wasn't a good thing that the name was fully engraved on the memorial tablet.

"Perhaps it's because I spent a long time away from the memorial tablets during the day?" she said uncertainly, her voice thoughtful.

It's a different place again.

The footsteps that never appeared, the time that never came, and the names that are now incomplete.

All of this suggests that her current situation is "safer" than Tian Lei's.

"It should be." Tian Lei's tone was a little downcast.

She clearly thought it was better if the name wasn't complete, but she didn't keep the memorial tablet away from her during the day. After a while, she felt her body being invaded and needed to use supernatural items to ward it off.

Even though she brought a lot of supernatural items, in the end, they were all the same, so she had to take the memorial tablet back.

"It seems I'll have to be ruthless tomorrow," Tian Lei thought to herself as she looked at her name, which wasn't yet deeply etched on her memorial tablet.

Having completed the mission, there's a high probability that there will be no danger tonight.

Tian Lei had already gone back to bed and was trying to fall asleep. Her sleep hadn't been good since she entered the platform. Even with Lu Jinzhao around, she had gotten used to maintaining an unstable sleep on the platform. The advantage was that she could wake up immediately if there was any noise, but the disadvantage was that her mental state was getting worse day by day.

Having finished my tasks tonight, and with Lu Jinzhao beside me, I could finally get a slightly better sleep. Lu Jinzhao, however, still had no intention of sleeping.

This mission was really strange. At this moment, her mind was filled with unanswered questions, and she couldn't sleep.

The mission message said "Do not disturb the villagers," and she thought she would encounter some events during her patrol, such as villagers going out at night, but nothing happened at all.

This seemed like just an unnecessary, well-intentioned suggestion.

But that's absolutely impossible.

"Could it be..." Lu Jinzhao frowned, a possibility suddenly popping into his mind.

"Is the mission deliberately giving us this hint, so we can avoid the villagers and thus avoid certain clues?"

Perhaps disturbing the villagers at night would indeed pose a danger, but the fact that it was so easily avoided made Lu Jinzhao suspicious.
The villagers at night had clues about the platform.

Lu Jinzhao almost immediately wanted to go out and check on the villagers, but she didn't move.

Tonight is not a good time.

There might still be other people doing missions outside, and she wasn't sure if going out now would cause any unexpected problems, so she decided to check back tomorrow night.

She lay in bed with her eyes closed, resting, and even though she hadn't slept for days, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

At times like these, Lu Jinzhao would once again feel his "non-human" nature.

Time passed slowly, and the dark night outside the window was gradually replaced by the light of day.

As the golden morning sun shone into the room, Lu Jinzhao slowly opened her eyes.

Tian Lei also woke up at this time. She was obviously still a little sleepy, but she did not go back to sleep.

"What are the plans for today?" the girl, clearly sleep-deprived, asked, rubbing her eyes.

Lu Jinzhao thought for a moment and said, "I plan to talk to other people."

Last night's sample consisted only of her and Tian Lei, which was insufficient.

She also wanted to know if anything unusual had happened to the passenger who had taken an extra memorial tablet.

“Okay, I’ll join you too.” Tian Lei nodded and jumped off the bed.

Since you want to come together...

Lu Jinzhao thought for a moment and handed her his memorial tablet: "Take my memorial tablet and stay 5 meters away from me. If you need it, you can give me yours."

Now that it has been confirmed that staying away from the memorial tablet is the right thing to do, we must stick to it.

Her answer to Tianlei last night was not entirely a lie. Although she thought that the name on the memorial tablet was not fully engraved, perhaps partly because she had not experienced the abnormalities that Tianlei had encountered, she also thought it was because she did not carry the memorial tablet with her during the day.

“Okay.” Tian Lei nodded immediately.

"But we're so far apart, isn't it too obvious?" She hesitated on this point.

"It's okay," Lu Jinzhao said with a smile. "It doesn't matter if people find out."

Anyway, it won't cause them any loss. Even if some smart people figure it out and want to learn it, it won't be a bad thing for the "passenger camp".

Lu Jinzhao wasn't kind enough to publicize her discovery, but she didn't object to others noticing it either.

"Oh, okay." Tian Lei nodded in agreement.

But if it were just her, she wouldn't be willing to let others know about this so easily.

At the very least, something has to be paid for.

Who should we go to first?

Tian Lei followed about 6 meters behind Lu Jinzhao, speaking louder than usual.

"Hmm, let me think."

"Let's go find that special agent who must have done something."
