See the Law of Deception

Chapter 289 New Life

Chapter 289 New Life (10)

Lu woke up from his dream this morning.

Her mind was still stuck on the moment she felt as if she had been placed in that suffocating earthenware pot. The instant she woke up was like a drowning person returning to shore, making her gasp for breath.

My mind was still a little foggy from the dream, and it took me a moment to realize that I was no longer dreaming.

Focusing her gaze, Lu Jinzhao felt a cold sweat covering her forehead, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. The dream she had just had filled her with fear.

A strong, instinctive fear, as if it burst forth from her DNA.

It was comparable to the shock she felt when she activated her Sixth Sense.

"what happened?"

A familiar voice came from above; it was Lin Lin, who had been silent ever since entering the platform.

She noticed that Lu Jinzhao had woken up, and as soon as she walked to the sofa, she noticed something was wrong. She was now bending over, observing Lu Jinzhao's condition with a worried look in her eyes.

"fine."

Lu Jinzhao shook her head slightly, cold sweat sliding down her forehead with her movement. Lin Lin reached out and wiped away the sweat that was sliding down her eyes. When she felt the unusual temperature on Lu Jinzhao's forehead, she couldn't help but ask again, "Do you know you have a fever?"

"fever?"

Lu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment, sat up from the sofa, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and then was surprised to find that Lin Lin was right, her forehead was very hot.

Logically speaking, her body temperature should be at least as low as that of a corpse, if not close to it. But when I touched her forehead with the back of my hand, my first reaction was that it felt a little hot.

Lu Jinzhao touched her cheeks and arms again, and finally placed the back of her hand on her ankles for a while to feel the heat. She concluded that not only her forehead, but her whole body was now burning up.

She didn't feel any discomfort anywhere; if Lin Lin hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have even noticed.

"Was it you who did this?"

Lu Jinzhao took out a sheepskin from his pocket and immediately questioned him.

【? 】

【.？】

Sheepskin made two consecutive question marks, finding it hard to believe what he had just heard.

【hehe.】

It sneered.

Do whatever you want!

"Okay, I misunderstood you. Do you know what happened?"

In accordance with Lu Jinzhao's usual way of handling things, she would definitely add something like "I apologize to you" to calm the other party's feelings of being wronged, but facing Yangpi, she really couldn't bring herself to say such a thing, even if it was just a pretense of goodwill.

Lu Jinzhao felt that she had already done her best by simply calmly saying the word "misunderstanding".

【I know. 】

So what? I'm not going to tell you.

Ever since Yangpi entered this platform, the things he said always seemed a bit strange to Lu Jinzhao.

It seems to be really thinking about something?

Why did the dream suddenly end?

You've only experienced this much, and you can only see this much.

That's how it is; suddenly he's very easy to talk to and very honest, yet he can also act quite strangely in some ways.

However, when Lu Jinzhao woke up this time, she found that she could still remember everything in the dream, unlike before when she would always forget the dreams she had in the real world.

"What is that earthenware pot?"

Don't you know?

You can guess.

Sheepskin has chosen not to speak human language again.

Lu Jinzhao ignored those two sentences and changed the subject, asking, "And you, what are you? I didn't see anything that looked like you in my dream." In fact, she had no idea what Yangpi was before leaving the platform and becoming a lamb; she was just trying to trick Yangpi.

But she didn't expect the sheepskin to answer like that.

Didn't you see it?

Perhaps you just haven't realized it?

what?

Lu Jinzhao began to recall the events of her dream, but, perhaps because the fever affected her brain, she found that she could not quickly and accurately recall every scene she saw in the dream.

She needs to think about it repeatedly to pinpoint the part she wants.

Just as she was trying to recall, a sharp pain in her arm interrupted her.

A new task has arrived.

[Within two hours, go to room 401 to borrow today's videotape and watch it in its entirety.]

"what?"

A questioning voice came from the side. Lu Jinzhao and Lin Lin exchanged a glance and confirmed that they had both received the same new task as yesterday, word for word.

How could this be?

—Bang bang

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Hello, are you home?

Outside the door came the somewhat unreliable voice of the fortune teller.

"Can someone open the door?"

Jiang Ting glanced at Lu Jinzhao, and seeing her nod, she quickly walked to the door and opened it.

The fortune teller was nowhere to be found. He looked tired, as if he hadn't slept all night. He walked in while looking at the information on his arm.

"This is weird," she exclaimed. "This task is the same as yesterday's."

"We're not going to only do this one mission from now on, are we?"

Her voice sounded like she was joking, but Lu Jinzhao felt that she might not be just joking.

"It's not impossible. We might have to watch the recordings every day for the next few days."

Lu Jinzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked in the mirror to make sure he looked normal. "Let's go, it's time to go to 401."

Not long after they went downstairs, Ning Jianwei and Jiang Jing came over with several other newcomers.

It seems she also stayed nearby yesterday and took in several newcomers.

After exchanging glances and noticing that no one had been killed or had any obvious external injuries, the two sides were fairly certain that nothing major had happened last night.

Meanwhile, the regular passengers from Anning City actually moved into building 401.

"How should I put it? I always feel that they have a kind of numbness, like they're all going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore," the fortune teller sighed.

“This is not a good thing,” Ning Jianwei commented. “It will make them lose their awareness of danger, and in a critical moment, they may lose their will to survive, which is very deadly.”

The fortune teller shook his head: "If they don't become numb to the current situation in Anning City, then they're truly doomed."

For the city's passengers, it's not much different from hell.

Ning Jianwei frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Therefore, we cannot allow the situation here to continue to spread to other cities."

The newcomers standing behind them seemed to understand but not quite what they were saying. They could only glean the fact that Anning City seemed dangerous. Since they were all locals from Anning City, these words only exacerbated their anxiety and fear.

"Let's go, it's time to get to our mission."

Ning Jianwei turned around and looked at one of the newcomers: "It's time to fulfill the request I made to take you in last night."

The newcomer's face turned pale instantly upon hearing this, but he knew he couldn't resist. He thought that Ning Jianwei had borrowed the videotape yesterday and nothing had happened, so maybe borrowing the videotape wasn't dangerous?

With this mindset in mind, he urged himself on and headed towards 401.
