See the Law of Deception

Chapter 269 Supernatural Leak
The girl didn't stay long; she put her things down and quickly left.

Only after Lu Jinzhao and Lin Lin were left alone in the archives could the two begin to discuss what had happened.

"Is it an illusion? Time travel? Or something else? We can't possibly have really gone back to the past, can we?" Lin Lin asked uncertainly.

Lu Jinchao frowned slightly. Although good luck had guided her "to" this place, her luck had only been used to trigger clues related to her mother, which did not mean there was no danger.

“I can’t be sure what it is, but it’s definitely related to trains and platforms.” Lu Jinzhao thought for a moment and asked, “Do you know what the situation is like on this platform?”

Lin Lin shook her head: "It's terrible."

"I've been to the Anning City train station. It looks like it's about to be abandoned. I've also looked for passengers there, but there are hardly any!"

"Moreover, they are very distrustful of others and unwilling to talk to me much. All I know is that the platform mortality rate in Anning City is extremely high. I've heard that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer new passengers and more and more elderly people are dying. I estimate that before long, all the passengers in Anning City will die."

Lin Lin looked at her: "Do you remember what I told you when we got off the plane?"

remember.

Lin Lin said at the time that she thought there was something wrong with the station.

"That's why the stations here aren't accepting many new passengers anymore, and there's a strange feeling about the city. I think it's something like..."

"Supernatural leak."

She said cautiously, "Who knows, some kind of ghost might have run from the platform into Anning City."

So, is this the danger that the sheepskin mentioned?
What exactly happened in Anning City?
Is all of this related to this school?

What would happen if Anning City were ignored?
Right now, it's just some subtle oddities. If these abnormalities continue, will ghosts appear in the real world and affect ordinary people?
"Do the top-tier members in other cities know about the situation here?" Lu Jinzhao was a little surprised. Such a big thing happened in Anning, but she hadn't seen any news about it on the Yuncheng Forum, and there were no top-tier members discussing it in the group.

"Because of the train, passengers almost never leave their cities unless necessary, and only a very small number of passengers remain in Anning. For some reason, they never contact the outside world, as for the platform."

“I asked around, and at least in the capital, no one has ever entered the same platform as someone from Anning.”

To ordinary people, the city remains peaceful, but it has become an isolated island. If outside passengers don't come in, they will never know what is happening here.

"Just in case, I originally planned to wait until you finished investigating Mother's matter before telling others about the situation in Anning City, but I didn't expect this."

They will be taken to this strange place.

"How should we get out of here?" Lin Lin asked, somewhat troubled.

Lu Jinzhao had several guesses about this: "No matter what this place is, the reason we suddenly came in is because I touched the school anniversary archives. The most likely way to leave is definitely related to the school anniversary. Maybe we will leave after the school anniversary is over."

"So you're going to spend the whole day here?" Lin Lin suddenly realized. "Then we can go find your mother!"

That's right.

Lu Jinzhao thought that this might be the reason why the luck had guided her to the school anniversary archives.

Since there are no clues in the real world, let's go back to the past.

However, she and Lin Lin probably didn't really go back to the past. She didn't feel the power that could reverse time and send her there. It was more like a scene from the past presented under some kind of supernatural effect, and the characters in the scene were also empowered by this power, able to have natural conversations with them, the intruders.
As Lu Jinzhao pondered this, he suddenly realized something: wasn't this just like a train platform?!

Those stations that do not exist in reality, yet seem like scenes from the real world.

But they didn't take the train, so they probably can't get to the platform.
Perhaps this place is more like an illusion?
"Do you think this place is more like an illusion, or a platform?"

Unable to reach a definitive conclusion himself, Lu Jinzhao simply passed the question on to Lin Lin.

Lin Lin was taken aback upon hearing this: "A platform? You really dare to think of that!" "Ideal is better as an illusion. An illusion could simply be caused by ghosts, but if it's related to a platform, things will become far too complicated."

That means that in Anning City, the real world is linked to the platform, and passengers could be suddenly pulled into the platform at any time by touching something, without any preparation.

Even more extremely, what if it could work for ordinary people as well?
That would be a complete disaster.

"I'm planning to go out and take a look."

Whether it's a platform or not, going out to take a look might give you some information.

But that also means there might be danger involved.

“Okay, I’ll go too.” Lin Lin naturally wouldn’t back down and let Lu Jinzhao face it alone.

"Let's start by looking through your mother's side."

Since we're already here, we should at least get some real clues!
The two got ready and pushed open the door to the archives room again. This time, the door was no longer covered in dust and was bright and clean.

As soon as the door opened, a cacophony of sounds filled her ears, and the scorching summer air rushed in. The blinding sunlight made Lu Jinzhao squint. She felt as if she were some kind of creature that couldn't stand the light, and all she wanted to do after being exposed to the sun was to find a shady place to hide.

"Wow, you look like a vampire who got punched by the sun," Lin Lin remarked, still having time to tease her.

"Speaking of which, haven't you gotten even paler?" She examined Lu Jinzhao's skin closely before concluding, "It's also a bit bluish. Do you have zombie blood?"

"Alright, shut your mouth!" Lu Jinzhao glared at her.

Is now the time to talk about these things?

Shouldn't we be more serious?

"This doesn't feel like a platform." Lin Lin leaned over the corridor and looked at the playground. The atmosphere was different, the temperature was different, and he didn't feel the eerie atmosphere that belonged to a platform. Even the lighting was different!

Why is there such bright sunshine in the platform?
"Let's ask a student from the class of '75 first."

As soon as Lin Lin finished speaking, a student who was passing by stopped in his tracks.

She turned to look at Lin Lin and Lu Jinzhao, her face showing a mixture of curiosity and goodwill: "Is there something you need?"

Seeing Lin Lin and Lu Jinzhao looking over, she smiled and said, "Excuse me, I just heard you talking. Are you looking for students from the class of '75?"

"Yes." Lin Lin nodded, her voice sweet: "Sister, do you know her?"

The girl in front of me spoke slowly and gently: "Yes, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Lu Jinzhao looked at her without speaking for a long time. The girl's face in front of her seemed very familiar to her.

When those gentle eyes looked at her, Lu Jinzhao could no longer contain her doubts and blurted out, "Excuse me, do you know Lu Mishan?"

Lu Mishan, her father's name.

"I know him." The girl looked slightly surprised. "That's my younger brother."

younger brother?!
Lu Jinzhao did not show it on his face, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

She had no idea that her father had an older sister.

The reason she felt the girl in front of her looked familiar was because her face was very similar to hers and her father's!
