See the Law of Deception

Chapter 77 Wang's Funeral Home (17)

Lu Jinzhao had no time to pay attention to the mad sheepskin.

She felt she needed rest, a doctor, and painkillers. Ideally, the train would arrive in front of her the next second, allowing her to board successfully and spend the money she had saved to heal her injuries and alleviate the dizziness in her head.

But this can only be a thought.

After vomiting, Lu Jinzhao felt a little better, but only a little. She tried her best to control her body so that she wouldn't suddenly step into the grass next to her while walking, or fall down because she was too relaxed.

Now even walking has become a strenuous task for her.

In her hazy memory, she had never been so disheveled in the real world, but since boarding the train, she had experienced even more disheveled situations.

So pitiful.

[He looks like he's about to die.]

Do you still have the strength to walk?

Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?

[To lie here and die peacefully, I think that would be good.]

Sheepskin started spouting nonsense again.

Upon seeing the distorted blood-red words before her, Lu Jinzhao felt like vomiting again.

"Can you shut up?" She wanted to be sterner, or even fiercer, but she was too weak, so her voice came out extremely weak.

"Oh, I forgot you're a monster that can't even make a sound."

"They can only use some low-class means to make their presence felt."

She spoke several sentences in a row, but perhaps her brain was spinning. Normally, even with such harsh words, she wouldn't want to waste her breath on Yangpi.

Sheepskin remained silent for a long time. Lu Jinzhao didn't know what it was thinking, but its thought process was definitely not like that of a normal person.

At least, the bloody words that made her want to vomit had disappeared.

Lu Jinzhao almost staggered back to the duty room.

The place was exactly as it had been when she and Xiao Ping came out. Lu Jinzhao slumped in her chair, feeling somewhat fortunate that the box would help stop the bleeding after eating a part of a person; otherwise, it would be questionable whether she could still maintain her conscious mind.

However, while standing, I felt like I was about to collapse, and although I felt relieved after sitting down, my head became even more dizzy.

Lu Jinzhao sensed something was wrong. She should probably stay standing and force herself to stay awake, but when she tried to stand up again, she found that she was losing control of her body.

She desperately needs rest.

Her mind was so foggy that her vision blurred and her thoughts almost stopped. Lu Jinzhao felt as if she had returned to her school days in the classroom at noon. An overwhelming drowsiness attacked her mind. She dared not actually sleep, yet she was powerless to resist it.

I could only keep repeating "I can't sleep, I can't sleep" in my mind, but I still couldn't stop my thoughts from getting fragmented.

Until a certain moment, a moment I didn't even know, I completely lost consciousness.

"Wake up."

"Wake up!"

"can you hear?"

"Can you open your mouth? You need to eat something."

Someone kept calling in her ear, and Lu Jinzhao felt something being tried to be stuffed into her mouth.

In a daze, Lu Jinzhao managed to open her mouth, and a piece of candy was stuffed into it.

"I'm glad I can hear you."

Lu Jinzhao felt still very sleepy. She knew that if she relaxed now, she would fall asleep again in the next second. But no, she couldn't sleep. She was still in the duty room, and it was probably not even 3 a.m. She still had several hours to spend alone in the duty room.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinzhao suddenly opened his eyes.

Sunlight streamed through the glass into his eyes, a signal that should have indicated "safety," yet it sent a chill down Lu Jinzhao's spine.

She fainted without even realizing it last night!

She was alone, unconscious, and spent several hours in the haunted night!

Fortunately, after the ghost was driven away by the box, it did not attack her again, otherwise she might have died in her sleep.

The more Lu Jinzhao thought about it, the colder he felt inside.

An ordinary person's body is simply too weak to handle the tasks required at the platform.

Humans cannot fully control their physiological reactions. When the body is weakened to a certain extent, even staying awake becomes a luxury.

The candy slowly melted in his mouth, and perhaps it was some kind of psychological effect, but Lu Jinzhao felt as if his body had regained a bit of strength.

Seeing that her pale face had regained some color, Meng Ning, who was standing next to her, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I came in, I thought you were dead."

She handed the remaining candy along with a bottle of mineral water to Lu Jinzhao, but Lu Jinzhao only took the candy and, despite being extremely thirsty, dared not drink the water.

"You don't know, you were sitting in the chair, pale-faced, covered in blood, and it seemed like you weren't even breathing."

Meng Ning wasn't exaggerating. In fact, when she first entered and saw Lu Jinzhao, she really thought she was seeing a corpse.

I stood at the door and observed carefully for a while before I realized that Lu Jinzhao was still breathing faintly.

Upon entering, it was discovered that Lu Jinzhao's body temperature was abnormally low, and his breathing was extremely slow, as if he had already stepped onto the edge of death.

She had almost given up hope that Lu Jinzhao would wake up, but a miracle happened.

The person who seemed almost dead to her actually opened their eyes.

She didn't understand why. Logically speaking, with a body temperature so low and a heartbeat and breathing so slow, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to even maintain consciousness, let alone wake up and be able to reach out to take what she handed over.
It's as if a dead person has suddenly come back to life.

But this is a platform, and some things inside the platform cannot be explained by "science".

She wondered if Lu Jinzhao was using some supernatural object she didn't know about to keep her alive.
Several thoughts crossed Meng Ning's mind, but she suppressed them all.

"Thank you," Lu Jinzhao said as she unwrapped the candy.

Very strange.

Lu Jinzhao controlled her limbs while feeling them.

When she woke up, her body was indeed still very weak, but it seemed that she had reached a limit and then got stuck.

Her body still exhibits many normal signs of shock due to excessive blood loss. For example, she can feel that her heart rate is too fast, she is sweating profusely, her head is still dizzy, her heart is racing, and her breathing has become shallow and rapid.
How could she still manage to move around despite so many negative impacts?
When she received the candy, she could feel the pain in her abrasions and her weakness. Logically speaking, these negative conditions combined, while not enough to kill her outright, would likely render her unable to move.

But something seemed like a thread connecting her limbs and brain, preventing her from completely "falling apart".

The feeling was strange. It was as if there was something separating her from controlling her body. Before, she could use her body without even being "conscious" of it; she would act naturally. But now, she needed to give herself a clear command in her mind before her body would react.

Although the process was very quick, almost in the blink of an eye, it still felt very strange to her.

She suddenly remembered the few days after she had just finished the transaction with the sheepskin.

She felt unusually unwell during those days, and the sensations she experienced while controlling her body were remarkably similar to those she feels now.

Later, she got used to that slightly delayed feeling, but now, the "delay" has intensified, and she feels more and more unfamiliar with her own body.
