Chapter 297 New Life (18)

Although the topic briefly shifted, Yu Li's attention did not completely wander.

"So what you're saying has anything to do with me asking if you have any clues?"

Lu Xingchun chuckled: "Of course! My wish led me here, and considering the theme of this platform, I think this jar is indeed pregnant with something, and it's related to us."

Yu Li blinked at her, not responding, waiting for her to continue.

"Simply put, I think we're both pregnant."

She suddenly uttered a shocking statement.

Yu Li's expression instantly turned strange: "Pregnant? Me?"

"Of course, it's not pregnancy in the conventional sense, but this understanding should be fine," Lu Xingchun explained.

"Oh," Yu Li said, trying to calm herself down after the shock.

In fact, she wasn't the only one affected by those words; Lu Jinzhao, who was observing the two of them at that moment, was also deeply moved.

She still remembers the feeling of being struck by lightning when she heard that Yu Li was infertile. Many thoughts flashed through her mind at that moment, and now, when she hears that Yu Li is "pregnant", the shock is no less than that time.

After all, it's obvious to everyone that what they're "carrying" is definitely not something good.

"No way," Lu Jinzhao's eyelids twitched. Could she have been born in a place like this?

That's not right either.

If that's the case, Lu Xingchun, Yu Li, and Lu Mishan, three jars, shouldn't that make three children?

Did they find a way to destroy the jar?

Then why was I left behind?

And shouldn't the jar be teeming with evil spirits?

Before becoming a passenger, she was just an ordinary human being.

Unable to figure it out, Lu Jinzhao put the question aside for the time being, hoping that as the dream continued, she would see the answer for herself.

Lu Xingchun was still talking to Yu Li. In the dream, they were not affected by Lu Jinzhao's emotional fluctuations.

Like a play, they acted out everything that had happened in a predictable manner.

"The crisis at this station most likely stems from these cans, and the way out might also lie within them," Lu Xingchun said, offering his speculation without reservation.

"If the newborn refers to a ghost, then what is being nurtured in the jar is most likely a ghost."

"For it to be reborn, there must be some conditions, and the blood we dripped in must be those conditions."

"Or rather, the medium through which the conditions are met."

Hearing this, Yu Li frowned: "If that's the case, then as the fetus grows, we, who provide blood and the medium, will probably not have an easy time."

“That’s true.” Lu Xingchun nodded. “So, once it’s confirmed that it’s really a fetus, we must destroy it.”

We cannot allow ghosts to be reborn.

"So, the danger of this platform is that we will become the medium for the growth of the demon fetus supplied by the mother, and when it is fully grown, we will die?" Yu Li asked.

It sounds simple, at least not as convoluted and dangerous as other stations.

But she felt things wouldn't be that simple.

She had barely finished speaking, and before Lu Xingchun could answer her, a familiar pain shot through both of their arms—a new mission was about to begin.

Before sunset, give the clay pot double the amount of blood you fed it last time.

Yu Li's expression suddenly changed.

"Double?"

This thing still wants their blood?

And it's double the amount!

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only a small amount of blood. If the tasks continue like this, increasing exponentially, it won't be long before they lose too much blood!

Lu Jinzhao was also somewhat surprised when she saw the task.

Compared to their viewing of videotapes, the malice of the former "newcomer" mission was more obvious and more blatant.

Now, however, it has become much more subtle and appears more harmless on the surface. This is certainly not a good thing; on the contrary, it means that the platform has "evolved."

Lu Xingchun made a quick decision: "Let's change the mission."

"Change the doubled amount to the same amount."

By modifying only two words, we can minimize the cost of buying life and avoid the exponential increase in blood loss from now on.

“Okay.” Yu Li nodded and immediately modified the task.

As soon as she finished making the changes, her expression turned sour.

"So expensive!"

Two words cost her eight thousand yuan to save her life; four thousand yuan for each word. There is nothing more expensive in this world.

Fortunately, she still had some savings.

just

"Why don't you change it?" She grabbed Lu Xingchun's arm, looking at the unaltered task on it with some anxiety.

Because she guessed what Lu Xingchun was thinking.

"Me?" Lu Xingchun let her hold his arm. "I won't change it. I want to give it a try."

Yu Li took a deep breath: "You know that if the number keeps doubling, it's best not to let the number increase in the first place, right?"

"Of course," Lu Xingchun replied with a smile.

Yu Li sighed helplessly, "Fine, I can't be bothered with you."

Try?

What to try?

Looking at Lu Xingchun's face, Lu Jinzhao realized what she was thinking.

She wanted to try and grow the things in the jar a little bigger.

But she herself just said that it had to be destroyed.

What are her plans?

The scene before me blurred slightly for a moment, and the next second, the scene had changed completely.

Lu Xingchun went to find the village chief alone.

They seemed to have been talking for a while. Lu Jinzhao hadn't heard the previous conversation, but she saw the village chief's slightly surprised look and her reply: "...It's not impossible."

Give me your birth date and time.

As the village chief spoke, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face: "But I must warn you, there are no young people still alive in our village."

Lu Xingchun was not frightened by what he heard; in fact, he could even laugh: "That would be perfect."

What are we supposed to do?

The person in the dream could not answer Lu Jinzhao's questions.

After receiving a reply from the village, Lu Xingchun left the village chief's house. As she walked along the village path, she seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped.

"what?"

She tilted her head slightly: "What does this feel like?"

Lu Jinzhao was confused, assuming she was referring to the platform. But the next second, she heard Lu Xingchun speak: "A curse? A blessing? Or some kind of karma related to me?"

What.?

Then she blinked, her movement somewhat similar to Yu Li's: "Could it be blood relation?"

Lu Jinzhao was slightly startled, and before she could even understand why she felt this horrified, she woke up from her dream.

Feeling slightly tired, as if she hadn't slept well, Lu Jinzhao stood up from the sofa and moved her limbs uncomfortably.

After a night, her body seemed to be getting a little closer to that of an ordinary human.
