The sheepskin did not answer for a long time, seemingly unwilling to discuss the topic, but simply repeated itself.
So what is your choice?
What else could it be?
"I refuse."
The deer replied to it in this way today.
She couldn't give the sheepskin any more soul. Now that things had come to this, she couldn't let the sheepskin leave her body without her being prepared, especially since she had quite a few troubles. The sheepskin's presence in her soul actually helped her maintain a balance.
She cannot allow the balance to be broken, at least not for the time being.
Moreover, she couldn't trust that the sheepskin would do nothing after taking half of the soul.
Even though it seemed so sincere, as if it really wanted to shake hands and make peace with her, Lu Jinzhao felt that it was unlikely.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jinzhao typed again: Do you want a name? I can help you come up with one?
Since they're showing so much resentment, why not just start a new one?
Having a name is a good thing for Yangpi; she can try to see if she can be included in the family genealogy.
Who do you think you are?
What gives you the right?!
Sheepskin's tone turned sharp and sarcastic again, whether because of Lu Jinzhao's refusal or because of her gesture of giving a name.
You should worry about yourself first.
If you reject me, you're as good as dead!
"Do not believe."
They always say that, they always say she's doomed, but when have they ever actually died?
Sheepskin fell silent.
Lu Jinzhao predicts that it will only come out to show its power and prestige after the next unexpected event.
At the doorway, the fortune teller had finished examining the body. She took out a tissue and wiped her hands: "This cassette tape has become one with him."
Growing together?
"I'm going to open the door." After she finished speaking, she gently opened the door, ignoring the somewhat resistant looks from the remaining newlyweds.
There was no one outside the door.
Only a section of tape extended from the crack in the door of 402 into the closed door of 401.
The fortune teller was extremely bold; she even bent down and gently tugged at the tape, releasing her grip after feeling resistance coming from inside 401.
"Looks like everything's alright today?" Jiang Jing asked from the side.
Her tone was not relaxed; rather, it carried doubt.
Is everything alright again today?
This is not a good thing, nor does it mean they can breathe a sigh of relief.
"That seems to be the case, but... we probably can't just sit here and wait to die any longer."
The fortune teller straightened up, a serious expression appearing on his face, which was slightly roughened by years of wind and sun: "Since yesterday, I've felt that something is not right."
"Just now, I tried to calculate some things and finally realized what was wrong."
She raised her left index finger and tapped her temple: "I think I've become dumber."
"It's not about brains, it's about ability."
Her calculations showed it was slightly slower than usual, like a game that was running smoothly experiencing a slight frame drop. It wasn't serious, and it didn't affect gameplay; it wasn't even considered lagging. But this was an anomaly, indicating that something was wrong.
This anomaly probably started yesterday, but at that time the frame rate drop was probably less than one frame, so she didn't notice it at all.
Today, it suddenly became 10 frames per second.
She remains unmatched in her "divine calculations," but only she knows that her "calculation power" is declining.
The others understood the fortune teller's implication: she was suggesting a possible problem with their destinies. However, their destinies differed from the fortune teller's; she couldn't detect such subtle fluctuations. At that moment, they had no way of determining whether their destinies were experiencing this minor "network fluctuation."
Neither Lu Jinzhao nor Lin Lin could.
But if the fortune teller's "becoming stupid" was not due to her own fault, nor was it an isolated case.
"It's over." Shi Yan gave a crisp and decisive conclusion.
"This is really the end," she said, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
"So the reversed videotape means this?"
Her words made everyone else's hearts sink as well.
"If watching the videotape means our fate will regress with the images, then we absolutely cannot watch it anymore," said another passenger from Anning City.
She still wanted to try living, even though she didn't have a strong hope or desire for it, so her destiny absolutely couldn't be flawed!
"If you don't watch, you can't do the mission. Do you have enough money to buy your lives?"
The people of Anning City fell silent.
The frequent platform crossings and chaotic entry levels left them no time to save up for survival; they basically spent whatever they had, prioritizing survival above all else.
"Isn't there any other way?"
"Isn't that what I'm thinking about?"
"Can we now be certain that our destinies will all be affected?"
The person who asked the question looked at the fortune teller, who simply raised an eyebrow slightly: "You'll have to determine that yourself."
Lu Jinzhao wasn't among the people discussing things; she was doing something else.
She took out the sheepskin from her pocket and threw it down the stairwell. Then she controlled the ghost blood in her body to stay away from the wooden box. The shadow puppets also lay dormant quietly. In that instant, she cleared the supernatural power in her body that could suppress the wooden box.
Logically, the wooden box should have immediately started devouring her flesh and blood. After all, it's like a spring that bounces back when a mechanism is triggered. It doesn't judge whether Lu Jinzhao is doing something intentionally; it just mindlessly executes its own "mechanism."
But for a second, the wooden box did not react.
What else is suppressing it?
Or is it simply outdated?
"Try your own paranormal items," she said, as if reminding the others.
As soon as Lu Jinzhao spoke, several people showed slightly uneasy expressions. They quickly took out items from their bodies to try them out. After trying them, some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others looked grim after trying several different supernatural items.
"The paranormal items I brought out from the low-level platform are no longer reacting."
"Mine too."
The wooden box is another example.
Lu Jinzhao got the answer she wanted.
Not only destiny, but also supernatural items are gradually losing their effectiveness.
Now, no one harbored any illusions that the fortune teller himself had made a mistake.
"Without destiny, without supernatural items, what's the difference between us and the newlyweds?" someone murmured.
Perception through experience?
That kind of thing is completely useless for saving lives on the death platform!
At most, it might delay death a little, but it will definitely lead to death!
"We must...we must find a way."
"So if we hadn't realized it beforehand and continued watching the videos like this, I'm afraid our destiny would have become useless in just a few days?"
The passengers present all felt a chill, as if some monster lurking in the shadows was only now revealing the tip of its iceberg.
Unbeknownst to them, they were already under the fangs of a monster.
Those scarlet eyes had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the moment when their prey lost the ability to struggle.
