See the Law of Deception

Chapter 226 Heredity (32)

Upon hearing this, both Lu Jinzhao and Luo Yu realized the problem.

As a first-class passenger, how could he have gotten so close without realizing it, even pressing his ear against the window?
He's still on a mission, shouldn't he at least have some basic vigilance?
Moreover, being pressed against the window makes it too inconvenient to escape.

Sure enough, Xiang Liang's subsequent words confirmed their guess.

"He immediately realized something was wrong. How could he be so oblivious?"

"Cold sweat broke out."

"He didn't want to care about the sounds in the room anymore and wanted to leave immediately, but when he turned around, he realized that it was too late."

Xiang Liang's voice became low.

"The noise in the room has stopped."

"The villagers who made the commotion had somehow appeared behind him and were standing at the door."

"If he wants to leave this place, he has to go through the villagers."

"But that villager looked like he wasn't alive anymore."

"Like a ghost."

Xiang Liang's tone became resolute.

“He had never seen this villager before, but he knew that living people shouldn’t be like this.”

"His eyes were cloudy and without pupils, his limbs were stiff and his expression was indifferent, completely devoid of human emotion."

"He looked at that first-class player like a ghost was looking at a person."

"There is no emotion whatsoever, only malice and murderous intent."

"That's exactly right. That villager—no, that ghost—immediately attacked my companion."

"Fortunately, we gave him a decent life-saving item, and the ghost's attack wasn't too terrifying, so he escaped unharmed without paying a heavy price."

"And that villager, after getting some distance away, was no longer pursued."

After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he stopped narrating.

At this moment, Luo Yu added, "Indeed, my teammates encountered a similar situation."

She wasn't simply agreeing with what Xiang Liang said; rather, she was subtly implying that Xiang Liang's information wasn't very useful to her.

Xiang Liang naturally understood her implied meaning, but he didn't react much and continued to suggest at a normal pace:
"Shall we go to that villager's house now and check on his situation?"

This suggestion was approved by Lu Jinzhao and Luo Yu.

On the way to the villagers' homes, information sharing was clearly going to continue.

The first person to share was Xiang Liang. After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Luo Yu, and his meaning was obvious.

Lu Jinzhao was pleased with this, and Luo Yu spoke naturally as if no scheming had happened: "One of my teammates got two memorial tablets."

It really was her.

So it's highly likely that Luo Yu was the one who led others to test her on the first day.

She has so many things she wants to do.

Quite a few things have already been done.

She's a very "positive" type.

"So far, she has not shown any abnormalities."

"I suppose there's been a problem with everyone's memorial tablets?" she said, looking at Lu Jinzhao and Xiang Liang.

The two nodded in agreement. Everyone knew that the strange changes to the memorial tablets were not caused by just one person.

“She took an extra memorial tablet, and there was no difference between her and our situation. Moreover, the extra tablet was always empty.”

In other words, taking more memorial tablets is meaningless. Only one tablet is necessary and required, representing their status as villagers.

"I see," Xiang Liang said calmly, as if to say that the news was not of much value.

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't say anything.

When it was Lu Jinzhao's turn, she first asked, "Have everyone's names been written on their memorial tablets?"

“That’s how it is on our side.” Xiang Liang’s wording was very precise, while Luo Yu nodded and then frowned slightly as she looked at her, seemingly realizing something.

Then Lu Jinzhao dropped a bombshell with a smile: "Mine doesn't have one, mine only has a surname written on it."

"What?!" Xiang Liang was startled at first, then quickly asked, "How did you do that?"

Luo Yu had already realized what was happening.

She looked at Tian Lei following behind her and judged with her naked eye that the distance was about 6 or 7 meters, but it had never been within 5 meters.

"I felt something was wrong with the memorial tablet, that it might be dangerous, so I tried staying away from it during the day. Unexpectedly, it seems to have an unexpected effect."

"I see." Xiang Liang frowned, somewhat regretful.

He had considered the danger posed by the memorial tablet and even tried to stay away from it during the day, but after sensing the supernatural intrusion, he stopped out of caution.

"So now, you've also switched places with your teammate?" Luo Yu asked.

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "That's right."

"This is really big news," Luo Yu sighed.

She had done many radical things, such as taking away memorial tablets during the day. She had also tried and even suggested that her teammates do the same. However, one of her teammates showed obvious signs of distress shortly after moving away from the memorial tablet. She realized that this was dangerous, so they all stopped doing this.

So, is it about enduring it?

They endure abnormalities, resist invasion, and even accept partial invasion and alienation.

Both are dangerous, but it seems that holding onto the memorial tablet is more dangerous?

There's no safe way to do it.
For the first time, Luo Yu regretted her decision, but regret was useless. She could only go back and tell her teammates the message.

During their conversation, the group arrived at the villager's house.

Even without going inside, they already knew the outcome.

Because smoke was rising from inside.

Only one person lives here, and unsurprisingly, he's the one cooking.

The group pushed open the door and went inside. Two of them were now at the highest level, and two at the lowest level. Even if the villager was still a ghost, they were not afraid.

Hearing someone approaching, the villager quickly came out of the kitchen. Seeing that it was a group of people, he gave a kind smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

"No, we're just looking around." Luo Yu smiled, taking charge of the social interaction: "Are you cooking?"

“Yes.” The villager nodded: “Want to eat together? I made a lot, I can’t finish it all by myself.”

"No, no need, we're just strolling around." Luo Yu said, then changed the subject: "You're up so early, it seems you slept well last night."

"It's alright, it's very quiet here at night." The villagers seemed to see nothing unusual.

He didn't know what happened last night, nor did he "avoid" mentioning the night.

Clearly, someone broke into his house last night, but he had no idea what was going on.

"Okay, please enjoy your meal. We'll continue our stroll."

The group walked out of the area, looked at each other, and confirmed that none of them had sensed anything unusual about the villagers.

That was indeed just an ordinary person who was alive.
