See the Law of Deception

Chapter 39 [I Want You Dead]

Lu Jinzhao remained silent for a moment.

After all, she never expected that the sheepskin's response would be so direct.

"Are you serious?"

she couldn't help but ask.

The sheepskin did not respond to her question, but simply repeated:

Give it to me!

Lu Jinzhao was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, but she definitely wouldn't give this to Yangpi.

What could be inside?

She looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any gaps in the box. It seemed that the box was designed this way to prevent people from opening it and taking out the contents.

"If it can reveal something good from the sheepskin and is designed to be so airtight, perhaps I shouldn't open it so easily."

Thinking of this, Lu Jinzhao put the box into his backpack, no longer insisting on opening it at this moment.

But once it zipped up the backpack, perhaps realizing that she had given up on opening the box, the sheepskin, which had been silent, suddenly popped up again.

Aren't you going to open it?

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lu Jinzhao strangely detected a hint of regret in those words.

"This is truly unbelievable."

Why did she feel that the sheepskin was much more "lively" after the transaction was completed?
Sheepskin did not respond to her claim of seeing ghosts, but the words kept floating in front of Lu Jinzhao's eyes, making her feel annoyed whenever she looked at them.

She even walked around the house again, and after confirming there were no clues, she left the house, closed the door, and went downstairs. The words were still floating in front of her eyes!

The more Lu Jinzhao looked at it, the more agitated she became. On her way to the station, she finally couldn't help but close her eyes and mutter to herself, "Yes, I'm not going to open it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red words in front of him changed again.

Since you're not opening it, then give it to me.

Lu Jinzhao was speechless for a moment, and even couldn't help but laugh.

"No, I won't give it to you either."

She immediately refused.

She realized that whatever the sheepskin was, it was truly not intelligent and genuinely wanted what was in the box.

After being rejected by her once again, Yangpi fell silent.

But Lu Jinzhao noticed the difference in the sheepskin compared to before, and realized that the sheepskin was now in a "communicable" state. She then decisively tried to ask questions.

"The two platform missions I experienced before were unusually difficult. Were you behind them?"

The question was far too direct. If this was a human act, and she was asking about a human, then the other party would never have answered so simply.

But she asked about the sheepskin.

【Yes. 】

Sheepskin replied straightforwardly.

Even though Lu Jinzhao had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Why?" she pressed.

The sheepskin's answer, as always, was direct:

Because I want you dead.

The already tense atmosphere instantly turned to freezing point.

Lu Jinzhao never expected the answer to be so blunt and cold, falling right in front of her.

The sheepskin does not lie to the deer today, nor does it conceal its malice in the slightest.

"If you want me dead, why did you make a deal with me?" Lu Jinzhao continued to press. She didn't doubt that Yangpi's claim of wanting her dead was false; Yangpi's resolute attitude in [Out of Control] was enough to show that it didn't value Lu Jinzhao's life.

It just wants to make a deal.

Now, the sheepskin has provided an answer.

Because I want your soul.

They want her dead, they want her soul, and they even want what's in the box from her?

Lu Jinzhao sneered, "What kind of good thing is that?"

This bastard dares to say it so brazenly, isn't it because she has already made a deal with it, it has achieved its goal, and she can't do anything about it?

The anger rising in Lu Jinzhao's heart dispelled the fear born from Yangpi's words. Now, when she looked at the thing in her hand, she no longer just felt fear, but rather a sense of displeasure and resentment.

Sooner or later, she'll teach it a lesson.

Lu Jinzhao tried asking a few more questions, but then discovered that the sheepskin did not answer every question, and it was impossible to make judgments about things based on its answers.

"As expected, this thing can't be that kind of person."

Lu Jinzhao was not disappointed by this.

A new discovery was made in his hometown, but the unfolding events made Lu Jinzhao feel that the road ahead was shrouded in mystery.

What started as an anomaly due to her roommate's strange words before she died seems to have now involved her parents as well.

"What does Lin Zhao's claim that she's not harming me have to do with my parents?"

"What's in this box? Do my parents know anything about the train?"

The unsolved mystery weighed heavily on Lu Jinzhao's mind. She knew that the contents of the iron box she had received might not be suitable for opening, but Lu Jinzhao felt that sooner or later, she would open the box.

However, this will only be possible after she has developed a certain level of self-protection ability.

After leaving her hometown and returning to her dormitory, her roommates didn't ask her what she had done on leave. Lu Jinzhao had already gotten used to this kind of "freedom".

But she also realized that this kind of freedom might not necessarily be a good thing.

She can skip classes at will, not do her homework, and cheat on exams without being caught.

Society's constraints on her have become extremely weak.

This won't change anything for Lu Jinzhao in essence; she will still go to class and try to be an ordinary student in her peaceful daily life.

But what if it's someone with an unstable mind?
Lu Jinzhao has been frequently browsing the website that Wei Ling gave her these past few days. The website requires login, and the account registration process is quite complicated. Registrants need to confirm that they are local residents of Yuncheng, and in addition, they have to answer a series of questions about trains and platforms.

These questions are not multiple choice. After answering, the website administrator will determine whether the respondent is a passenger based on the answers before granting them eligibility.

In recent days, she has learned a lot of more detailed knowledge about trains and passengers on the forum, and is no longer a complete novice who knows nothing about trains.

The impact of Lin Zhao has completely disappeared on campus. There is one less person in her dormitory, but her other roommates seem to take it for granted.

It's as if Lin Zhao never existed at all.

But if Lu Jinzhao deliberately brings it up, his roommates clearly still remember that there was such a person, but they obviously have no feelings for him anymore, not even a sigh.

"It's almost the weekend, are you guys going home?"

As her roommate spoke, she completely forgot that Lu Jinzhao had just returned from her hometown two days ago after taking leave.

Lu Jinzhao didn't participate in their conversation, and her roommates naturally ignored her and stopped asking questions.

At the beginning of the semester, Lu Jinzhao thought about getting along well with her roommates to make her university dormitory life easier, but now she no longer has the idea of ​​making friends with her roommates.

As for other friends, there is only one childhood friend who is studying at a university in another city. In fact, they haven't been in contact for a long time.

It seems that after the college entrance examination ended and the two chose different universities, they gradually drifted apart.

It's been almost two months since we last chatted.
