See the Law of Deception

Chapter 58 Aogo
Lu Jinzhao has had nightmares before.

Especially after becoming a "passenger", she was plagued by nightmares.

But this dream felt particularly different to Lu Jinzhao.

She had an indescribable feeling, like intuition, a warning, a personal experience, or perhaps, a premonition?

Unable to figure it out, and finding it strange, she simply picked up the sheepskin and asked.

In any case, Yangpi was always implicated in the strange things that happened to her.

As expected, the sheepskin responded.

Bleeding words appeared on a piece of paper the size of a palm.

【ghost】

A single word caused Lu Jinzhao's expression to change.

"I dreamt of ghosts?"

"A real ghost?" she asked repeatedly.

She wanted to know if it was a real ghost or just a figment of her dream.
【Of course it's real.】

【ghost】

Why would I dream about something like that?

"Did you do it?"

Was it really a ghost?

How could she possibly dream of a real ghost?
【you guess? 】

Lu Jinzhao closed his eyes briefly, a nameless anger suddenly rising in his heart.

She thought that if a human figure were standing in front of her, whatever that thing was, she would slap it.

"That ghost is one I've seen before?"

She pressed for an answer.

Who knows?

Sheepskin said that at first, then changed his tune.

Give me the box, and I'll tell you the answer.

"Ah"

Lu Jinzhao sneered: "Then you can dream about it too."

She put the sheepskin back in its place, knowing that she wouldn't get any more information from it.

After doing all this, Lu Jinzhao realized that she was now all alone in the dormitory.

She checked the time; her roommates should all be in class by now.

She didn't sleep for long, only less than four hours.

After leaving the platform, exhausted for several days, she woke up after sleeping for less than four hours.
She was still very tired, and an indescribable feeling of weakness enveloped her, making her feel tired even when she lifted a finger.

But she was no longer sleepy.

Lu Jinchao got out of bed, ready to take a shower.

As she washed, she suddenly realized that perhaps even if she wasn't injured on her next mission, she should still have the train repair her body.

Her soul has been somehow tampered with by the sheepskin, but her body is still mortal. If this continues, she might not die during the mission, but she will likely die suddenly in reality.

After showering and drying her hair, Lu Jinzhao stood in front of the mirror combing her hair. Looking at herself in the mirror, her hand suddenly paused.

She put down the mirror, brought her face close to the mirror, looked carefully, and finally confirmed one thing.

Something's wrong with her eyes.

At first glance, her appearance was no different from before, and it took Lu Jinzhao a while to figure out the problem from her slight awkwardness.

Her eyes were pure black.

It was pitch black, a color that seemed to appear only in an animation.

But her original pupils were just ordinary brown, definitely not this dark.

The pure color subtly altered her entire demeanor. She put down the comb, picked up the sheepskin from her pocket, pointed to her eyes, and asked, "Is this also because of you?"

The eyes are the windows to the soul, aren't they?

The sheepskin replied as follows.

Lu Jinzhao didn't want to pay attention to its inappropriate joke. She just felt annoyed. The changes that were happening to her made her feel disgusted. She didn't like these changes that she hadn't initiated.

She placed her hands on the table, took a deep breath, and when she looked up again, her expression had calmed down.

She asked, "You only want a third of my soul? You won't continue the deal with me?"

Surprisingly, there was no response from the sheepskin.

Lu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, wondering what she had discovered.
"Can't you continue trading right now?"

She didn't expect the sheepskin to answer, but just muttered to herself, "No wonder you didn't just exchange more of my soul, like half of it."

"So it's because you can't do it?"

"But why can't you do it? Are you so weak?"

not necessarily.

Even the difficulty of train missions can be affected by it; this sheepskin is terrifying beyond measure.

What is binding you?

But that's all she could think of.

This sheepskin is powerful and terrifying, but for some reason, it is bound and can only achieve a certain goal by making a contract with itself and slowly devouring its own soul.

As for the purpose, it's actually easy to guess; it must be related to "breaking free from constraints."

Its original form could not have been just a sheepskin.

But why it is the way it is now is unclear.

There are too many mysteries, but Lu Jinzhao knows that he can't rush things.

The more silent the sheepskin remained, the more Lu Jinzhao knew that his guess was probably correct.

Although it has developed human-like thinking, it is still not smart enough and is too easy to understand.

After washing up, Lu Jinzhao went to the library.

She stopped going to class.

She needs more knowledge related to "survival" than classroom learning.

The forum contains information compiled by experienced members, which is recommended for newcomers to learn more. This includes a wealth of folk culture, survival guides, and various horror novels and movies.

In addition, she also searched for related terms for "Lin Zhao" on the forum, but unfortunately, she didn't find anything.

In the forum, a few people share their mission experiences, and these posts are often very popular, but not many passengers are willing to share them for free.

The one that Lu Jinzhao is looking at is a mission experience shared by an ID named [Qingwu].

This person is very famous on the forum, and people often talk about her. Based on what they say, Lu Jinzhao learned that this person is one of the current [Special Grade] in Yuncheng.

It is also the most prestigious and recognized [Special Grade].

Because it seems that from a certain point onwards, Qingwu has been sharing her mission experiences for free. In her posts, she doesn't ramble on about useless things or expose her teammates' privacy. She simply describes the requirements of the mission, the dangers encountered, and the way out of the mission in simple terms.

Although lower-level dungeons will not appear repeatedly, the experience gained is often shared.

Her post helped many people, and based on other people's comments, Lu Jinzhao also realized that this person with the ID Qingwu was a trustworthy and reliable strong person in the platform.

She also sketched out a general impression of this person through Qingwu's post: a calm, friendly, decisive, intelligent person who seemed to have no weaknesses.

Do such people really exist?

Especially in places like trains.

Lu Jinzhao was curious about this and was also impressed by the ID Qingwu.

After staying in the library until it was completely dark, Lu Jinzhao borrowed a few books about folk customs and prepared to leave. Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed that the caller was in the capital city of Qingdao.

I want monthly passes!
