See the Law of Deception

Chapter 259 Heredity (65)

The use of supernatural items will always come to an end. Just like Shen Yi couldn't keep holding this jade in his mouth forever, he had to let go when the critical point was reached.

Others, too, were forced to use their own destiny at some point.

Tian Lei was in a better situation than the others, because she had the most supernatural items and was the most well-prepared. But even so, she was nearing her wits' end.

When they couldn't help but start using their destiny, they discovered with despair that each time their destiny took effect, it would suddenly become much weaker.

When one's destiny is weakened to a certain extent, abnormalities begin to appear.

Fu Xia was the first to notice something was wrong.

In an already tense moment, she actually lost focus.

When my mind wanders, I think about things that are completely meaningless, such as: it seems that nothing has been planted in the field next to us yet, whose field is this?

Damn it, how could someone who grew up in the city suddenly think of what to plant in the fields?
This is completely abnormal!
And why would a passenger like her care about the floor on the platform?

Is she going to continue farming here?

What should we plant this season? Peanuts.

That can't be right!
Fu Xia was almost terrified.

What the hell is she thinking?
What peanuts?

When she realized that her thoughts were starting to wander again, she immediately pulled herself together and focused her attention.

I don't know when it started, but even focusing on the present moment has become something that requires effort.

She first glanced at her shadow to make sure she wouldn't break the rules, then looked up again to find her clone.
"Huh?"

Fu Xia froze for a moment.

The copy is missing?
Her eyes darted around, scanning the figures opposite her, before confirming that her clone was indeed gone.

She was somewhat surprised, yet also delighted. If the clone had disappeared, then she wouldn't need to...
Again.
What was it again?

Fu Xia's expression began to look blank.

Something is altering her memories and perceptions, and she is completely powerless to resist it.

When those around her noticed, Fu Xia had once again fallen into a dazed state.

She looks no different from when she was trapped in a hallucination before, but now she can no longer control her destiny, and her memories and soul have been devoured. If nothing unexpected happens, she will never be able to wake up again.
By the time the others noticed Fu Xia's condition, they were already preoccupied with their own problems.

Even Luo Yu was no longer able to help Fu Xia.

Aside from spending some of his attention on Tian Lei, Lu Jinzhao devoted the rest of his time to observing the strange woman.

The woman was very cautious. She hardly made any unnecessary movements, and she didn't even trigger the taboo of walking, because she stayed at the back of the group, in a position of observation and concealment.

But now, when even standing still would violate taboos, Lu Jinzhao finally sees that she has no choice but to use her destiny and supernatural items.

Then, Lu Jinzhao realized something was wrong.

She wasn't sure whether the woman was using a destiny chart or a supernatural object. She was always exceptionally restrained, and it seemed that she would only take out a card from her pocket and tear it up when her life was in danger.

When she took out the first card, Lu Jinzhao wondered if it was a supernatural item.

When her clone appeared, the woman took out other items, but Lu Jinzhao remained observing.

But when she used the card again, and the copy also had a card in its hand, Lu Jinzhao made a decision.

The clone cannot copy supernatural items as well; that card represents a woman's destiny.

She knew someone with a very similar fate who also used cards, or rather, physical cards.

—Xiang Liang. The woman and Xiang Liang were from the same city.

Is it a coincidence, or are they just born with similar fates and similar influences?

After all, Xiang Liang was already dead.

But would a Special Grade Servant really die so easily?
Didn't they say that Special Grade would have the privilege of "resurrection"?
When Xiang Liang died, she wondered if he would be resurrected, how he would be resurrected, or if he had already used that privilege.

Although it was somewhat unbelievable, the woman's strange behavior and the destiny she displayed made Lu Jinzhao feel that Xiang Liang had been resurrected from her.

"Or something like a cicada shedding its shell?" Lu Jinzhao's thoughts wandered.

If it weren't for the train ticket that brought him back to life, it's not impossible that he could have been resurrected by drawing such a card.

If she really is Xiang Liang resurrected, then will the original skin of Xiang Liang still be effective in my hands?

While she was thinking, Bai Pei and Shen Yi seemed to have reached some kind of cooperation. Although Luo Yu felt sorry for Fu Xia when she saw her appearance, she still made a decision. She stopped paying attention to Fu Xia and went to Bai Pei and Shen Yi to discuss it.

The strange woman remained alone at the very back of the group, putting up a last stand, but for some reason she had long since lost much of her supernatural power. With a look of resentment on her face, she began to appear dazed.

The three top-tier fighters are clearly about to collaborate one last time.

After all, all three of them had a last resort; if all else failed, they could still go all in.

Since Lu Jinzhao and Tian Lei didn't have that trump card, the top-tier fighters didn't intend to continue traveling with them.

To make matters worse, there are obvious differences between Lu Jinzhao and Tian Lei; Lu Jinzhao has no clones.

Am I going to die here?

Tian Lei lowered his head and typed a line on his phone.

Lu Jinzhao turned to look at her. Tian Lei, who was holding a phone in one hand, was biting her nails on the other hand. Her body was trembling slightly. She seemed to be under tremendous mental pressure and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She thought that if she were in Tian Lei's shoes, she probably wouldn't be much better off.

Unlike herself, who doesn't have a clone and isn't completely cornered yet, Tian Lei isn't a top-tier character, doesn't have resurrection privileges, and her destiny isn't proactive. Even though she carries a lot of supernatural items, the negative buffs from using too many supernatural items have already overwhelmed her, not to mention the desperate situation at this platform.

It was as if she was already walking on the edge of a cliff, or even had already fallen off, with only one hand barely hanging on the edge. If she had any more external force or if she had run out of strength, she would have fallen.

But in reality, Lu Jinzhao wasn't much better off.

Even without a clone, she is now unable to move an inch.

"This shouldn't be done."

She lowered her head, frowning, her mind racing.

No matter how you look at it, it's a certain death situation now. Could it be that she overlooked something or made a wrong step?
She had been thinking non-stop since the beginning, repeatedly considering all the possible key points. The excessive mental exertion even made Lu Jinzhao feel "hunger" for the first time in a long time.

She didn't have time to reply to Tian Lei. As details that she thought might be important clues flashed through her mind, Lu Jinzhao grasped one of them.

Money to buy life.

Undoubtedly, this is a very crucial thing. It not only allows passengers to have room for error, but in Lu Jinzhao's view, its most important function is that it can judge whether doing something on the platform is "good" or "bad"!
Unlike the other passengers, she and Tianlei didn't spend their money on modifying the mission; instead, they used it more on the memorial tablets.

Even after completing the last task, the three characters "Lu Jinzhao" were still incomplete on the memorial tablet she placed in the ancestral hall.

But it seems that it didn't play a key role as she had expected?

"One possibility is that it had already taken effect in the last mission, but I haven't compared it with others, so I'm not sure."

"Another possibility. Its greatest role, so far, has not yet been realized by us."
