Chapter 296 New Life (17)
Lu Jinzhao successfully entered a dream.
However, this dream was slightly different from the previous ones.
If I had to put it another way, the dream became "indistinct".
Not only was her vision unclear, but her hearing and other senses also became somewhat blurred, as if she had fallen into a mud pit and her ears and nose were blocked, and her eyes were blurred. She needed to exert some effort to see and hear the scene clearly.
The scene in the video is not the same as when the last dream ended, but rather a strange place in the village.
As the people entering the platform gathered together, Lu Jinzhao found that she could no longer clearly see the faces of others. Among the crowd focused on, only the faces of Lu Xingchun and Yu Li were clear.
The sense of unreality grew stronger, and Lu Jinzhao even had the feeling that if she became any more awake, she would be able to break free from the dream at any moment.
She dared not think that "this is just a dream," for fear that she would actually wake up.
In this part of the dream, the passengers are gathered together, as if to discuss matters related to the platform.
Lu Jinzhao had to strain to catch most of what the others were saying; they were mostly discussing jars, and they had all dripped blood into them. For the time being, no one had any other ideas.
Now, it seems that two days have passed.
"I always feel like this jar... has a heartbeat," someone said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhao became alert. Although the freshman platform her mother attended was significantly different from the one she was attending now, the essence of the platform remained unchanged.
Ultimately, the essence of a platform is determined by the ghosts on that platform.
"Heartbeat? Now that you mention it, I do remember something. Last night when I was on watch, I kept hearing some noise, but it was too faint to hear clearly. It sounded like something was coming from the corner of the house, or maybe from underground. Now it seems like it was the sound of the jar."
"Why is it a heartbeat? Could it be that this jar is nurturing something?"
The passengers, gathered together, analyzed the situation intently.
"Could 'new life' refer to these jars? Are they hatching ghosts?"
"Probably."
Another person offered a different hypothesis: "Not necessarily. Perhaps the ghost already exists, and the jar is incubating some kind of curse from the ghost, after all, we dripped blood into it!"
"That's possible," the person who had just said "possibly" agreed again.
The person who offered a different guess glared at her: "You should be more serious!"
"I'm serious! I genuinely agree with your ideas, I just think you're right!"
"Alright, does anyone else have any other ideas?"
These words were spoken by Lu Xingchun, so Lu Jinzhao heard them very clearly.
In tonight's dream, her voice was clearer than everyone else's, followed by Yu Li, and then the rest of the people.
After Lu Xingchun spoke, the two who had been arguing stopped.
“Actually, there’s another possibility,” a short-haired woman said.
Seeing everyone's gazes turn to her, she pursed her lips somewhat uncomfortably, preemptively saying, "It's not anything special, it's just..."
"Could it be that the jar contains both a specific curse directed at us and a newly conceived demon?"
This statement left those present feeling as if it had said something, yet also as if it hadn't said anything at all.
She explained, “Ghosts definitely exist, but we don’t know how they exist. This new life, it seems, is definitely related to the jar, and also to us. Inside the platform, it is of course related to ghosts, but ghosts can’t directly appear and kill us right now.”
"The platform and train may have imposed some kind of restriction on it for the sake of balance." "This jar is the ghost using us, cursing us to be reborn, that is, to be reborn. When it is reborn, it will be the time for our death."
Lu Jinchao discovered that the reasoning of the previous generation was logically the same as the problem they were currently pondering, only the form of expression was slightly different.
She guessed that perhaps in the next second, these people would suggest doing something to the jar, just as some of them were planning to take action against the video.
"I think we can't just sit here and wait to die. This jar is obviously not a good thing. Maybe we can try to tamper with it?"
"After all, the mission prompt included the word 'intact.' Maybe if we destroy the jar, we'll destroy 'intact'?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinzhao finally confirmed that the "Newcomer" platform provided the same message to them as the older generation.
"This is too dangerous," someone shook their head.
“I suggest we wait and see. Haven’t we seen cases before where things that looked dangerous were actually essential tools for survival?” The other person was clearly also inclined to be conservative.
This is actually the norm for death platforms.
"Sister Xingchun, what are your thoughts?" When someone asked this question, everyone else's eyes also fell on Lu Xingchun, their eyes filled with unconscious expectation, as if Lu Xingchun could give them an answer.
But Lu Xingchun just shook his head: "I don't have many clues yet."
The others nodded in disappointment upon hearing this, but Yu Li blinked and looked at Lu Xingchun, as if she had realized something.
The meeting ended quickly, and the gathered passengers dispersed. Yu Li followed behind Lu Xingchun and asked the question that had just flashed through her mind: "You really have no clue?"
Lu Xingchun's expression remained unchanged, but his words were quite different: "A little bit."
"What?" Yu Li asked.
But Lu Xingchun didn't answer her directly. Instead, he brought up another topic: "You know what? Before I entered this platform, I made a wish."
“I know,” Yu Li replied somewhat sullenly.
This wish was made long ago, long after Lu Xingchun first obtained her destiny. Everything that followed revolved around this wish.
Including the rest of Lu Xingchun's life.
"This is the promised land of my wish." As Lu Xingchun said this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Oh," Yu Li replied dryly, "Then I'll be happy for you."
Although her voice didn't sound happy at all.
This amused Lu Xingchun: "Alright, don't look like that. What I mean is, you don't need to worry too much. I will solve the mystery of this platform and find a way out for you."
Is that what I care about?
You found a way to survive for us, but what about you?
Yu Li wanted to ask that question, but her throat bobbed slightly, and she didn't say it out loud.
This is disappointing.
So he could only lower his head and sullenly kick away the pebbles at his feet, while still trying to flatter them in a somewhat stubborn tone: "Of course, you are Lu Xingchun, of course you can do it."
She repeated, "You always get what you want."
"Oh, so Xiaoli thinks my strength is all because of my destiny?" Lu Xingchun looked at her with a smile.
"Of course not!" Yu Li almost jumped up.
【Wishes Come True】is certainly powerful, but Lu Xingchun's 【Wishes Come True】is the most powerful.
Thank you to the new alliance leader ouo
When I opened the backend, I was so surprised I stood up!
