See the Law of Deception

Chapter 238 Heredity (44)

"Have you ever considered that this mission was to kill one Special Class, but the next mission might be to kill two?"

Xiang Liang didn't seem willing to "accept his fate," and he was still trying to persuade him.

He knew he hadn't been dealt a good hand and had no chance of surviving the encirclement; he had to find another way out.

He had also made arrangements for his backup plan, and now all he had to do was stall for time as much as possible.

The last unused card in his hand slowly burned, the previously open door was slammed shut with a bang, and Xiang Liang's figure disappeared before everyone's eyes, leaving only his last words: "Trying to kill me isn't so easy!"

【maze】

Even if he is just standing in this room, people outside who want to push the door open and find him will experience a predicament that is like being "ghostly maze".

He didn't draw any cards that were highly aggressive, but it just so happened to be a set of cards that were perfect for survival.

This is fate decreed that he should live.

The maze will make him difficult to spot even if he stands still for a short period of time. The crow increases his luck, making it easier for the other party to make mistakes and harder to find him. The butterfly effect will amplify all of this, turning what was originally a low-probability event into a certainty.

The task has a time limit; he only needs to send someone to find the villagers first.
Xiang Liang had no other choice. Compared to his own death, it was indeed better for the villagers to die.

Even if killing the villagers was a foolish move, no matter what the consequences might be, he had to survive first and keep his life before anything else could happen.

The moment Xiang Liang's figure disappeared behind the door and the wooden door closed, several identical doors appeared on the wall, completely ignoring the rules of physics, and even appearing out of thin air around the courtyard.

Those who witnessed this scene understood the purpose of these "doors".

"Xiang Liang is probably behind one of those doors."

These suddenly appearing doors are where he's hiding; they need to find Xiang Liang's location.

Unfortunately, "doors" are a troublesome thing these days.

“He’s stalling for time.” Lu Jinzhao looked at Luo Yu, her speech slightly quickening: “Do you have any ideas?”

The purpose of delaying is not hard to imagine.

Luo Yu's usual nonchalant expression vanished, and she immediately replied, "I can try to temporarily block one of his cards."

Her scales are extremely versatile and can be used for almost anything, but she can only do one thing at a time.

Lu Jinzhao didn't want to waste time and made a decision directly: "I need to know where Xiang Liang is."

A subtle feeling rose in Luo Yu's heart. It had been a long time since she had been almost "commanded" to do something like this. But the strange feeling in her heart did not affect her emotions and judgment. She knew that this feeling was not important, and she chose to cooperate with Lu Jinzhao.

One side of the scale began to tilt inexplicably, its weight "heavy" as Luo Yu had anticipated. Just in case, Luo Yu prepared to take out a set of "chips" she had prepared: three weights forged from ghost bones.

The moment the weight was taken out, Lu Jinzhao sensed a very obvious aura of a ghost.

However, this aura was not particularly strong. Compared to the palm bone that had merged into her body, it was like the difference between the bright moon and a firefly. But since it was a part of a ghost, once it was made into a weight, its weight on the scale was much heavier than those supernatural items taken from ordinary platforms.

When a piece of ghost bone was placed on the scale, Lu Jinzhao heard a crisp "clang," as if something had taken effect, and the tilted scale was immediately leveled. She felt the supernatural power fluctuations emanating from Luo Yu. Those fluctuations were actually very similar to ghosts, but not as eerie.

It was as if a larger, more powerful stone had been thrown into an already turbulent body of water. The ripples created by the new stone quickly covered and overwhelmed the previous ones. The "doors" that appeared out of nowhere all around disappeared one by one, and the white weights that Luo Yu had placed on the scales were gradually turning black.

This is a danger signal.

Even if a ghost is "dismembered" or made into various supernatural props, it is not "dead".

It is only temporarily imprisoned and suppressed by rules, losing its "ghostly" consciousness and becoming an object, rather than "dead." As passengers use it continuously, it is a process of restoring it.

Even a single bone, once fully revived, could become an out-of-control "ghost".

At that time, the "weights" lost their function, and the balance not only could not maintain its original function, but also had to face the thorny issue of a real ghost standing on one side.

However, the bones used to make "weights" are actually quite durable. Even if they are revived, such a small amount of bones would only result in an incomplete ghost, at most a low-level platform ghost.

Luo Yu can handle it.

However, according to her plan, a single weight was enough to suppress Xiang Liang's card for quite some time, since she was not only using the weight as a supernatural object, but also her destiny.

Unexpectedly, less than five seconds after the balance was activated, one side of the weight was completely stained black! This speed is not right.

Something is quietly accelerating the recovery of the weight.

This is absolutely terrible!

She couldn't see the non-existent "butterfly" flapping its wings, and the spider silk clinging to her touched the weights on the scales, making them bear an invisible weight.

The crow's red eyes peered through the crack in the door, watching this scene unfold.

Adding weight is actually a perfectly fine move, even a sign of taking it seriously. But it is precisely because of this serious move that she will face the crisis of the weight's resurgence in the short term. This will not kill her, but it will prevent her from using her destiny to target Xiang Liang for the time being.

This weight demon will firmly occupy her scales until she pays a higher price to drive it away.

After all that, would she be willing to pay even more to continue killing Xiang Liang?
She needs to think about the future!

"Hurry up, try to finish within ten seconds!" Luo Yu noticed something was wrong and immediately shouted a reminder to Lu Jinzhao.

All the extra doors had disappeared, and as they spoke, the black stains on the weights deepened.

But that's enough.

[Tan Meng] darted off Lu Jinzhao's body, and the moment it stuck to the wood, the previously closed wooden door was opened.

Behind the door, Xiang Liang's figure was completely exposed.

His face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he looked several times weaker than before, as if he had suddenly suffered a serious illness that had exhausted his body.

But when Lu Jinzhao saw the cards he was holding, she knew that he had used up the last of his supernatural power to draw cards again.

He risked his life on that last card draw.

Lu Jinzhao neither underestimated him nor intended to give him any chance.

The moment the door opened, the instant she saw Xiang Liang, the murderous intent was already there!
Her right hand was outstretched, fingers spread wide, and invisible threads hooked onto her fingertips. The slight movement of those pale, even deathly-looking fingers made Xiang Liang feel the fear of being watched by death.

His body involuntarily trembled, a warning sign of impending danger!

He suddenly threw a card, which burned rapidly in the air.

in time!
Xiang Liang thought that even if Lu Jinzhao felt dangerous to him at the moment, he was currently favored by the crow, and the butterfly effect would influence her and cause her to make mistakes. He had drawn the [Impregnable Fortress], so he would not die!

However, outside the door.

In mid-air, several shadow puppets were suspended by invisible threads, dangling from Lu Jinzhao's fingertips.

[Substitute] waving its limbs angrily, its head twitching like an angry bulldog, its ink-painted features contorted, presenting an almost ferocious expression.

【Lu Jinzhao】waved her hands in dissatisfaction, tearing at the spider silk stuck to her body. Her features, which resembled Lu Jinzhao's, revealed a childlike expression that she would never have.

[Silence] With eyes closed and limbs hanging obediently, he was quietly suspended in the air.

【Luck】 has the most agile expression. Its eyes dart between Xiang Liang and the crow, and it occasionally covers its mouth with its hand, as if it is making a mocking laugh.

[Nemesis] rushed over the instant the door opened!
At this moment, it collided with the card that Xiang Liang regarded as a life-saving medicine, and only paused slightly. The [Luck] ability allowed it to break through the obstacle brought by this card at the lowest cost. Then, in almost the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Xiang Liang!
The first one to approach, [Tan Meng], already revealed a sinister smile. It clung to the door like a ghost and quickly moved towards Xiang Liang. It was the most ominous and its habits were the most like a ghost. It wanted to devour Xiang Liang and tightly wrap him in its own body.

However, [Tan Meng] was bound by Lu Jinzhao's control. Even though it was drooling and had greedily run up to Xiang Liang, it still "gave" its prey to [Kekex].

Lu Jinzhao wants "Xiang Liang", so it cannot eat this person.

Xiang Liang's other two cards are burning, but luck is no longer on his side!
The nemesis has arrived.

Xiang Liang seemed to see a chilling sword light. He clearly had supernatural artifacts with him, so he shouldn't have been killed by his own kind so easily!
But the next instant, his head fell off his neck, and the world spun around him.

Beheaded.

To the greatest extent possible, the integrity of his skin was preserved.
