Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

Shen Xingzhuo slowly opened her eyes to the sound of the wake-up call.

Without the harsh sunlight, she turned to look out the window.

Sure enough, it's still dark.

However, Shen Xingzhuo accepted this well, after all, when her master was still alive, she also had to get up early every day to practice her morning exercises.

I haven't gotten up early in many years, and I even miss the cool, moist air in the morning.

Shen Xingzhu got up without hesitation, having learned from yesterday's lesson, and took out a bottle of cleaning potion from his sleeve and drank it.

She smacked her lips. "It doesn't taste very good..."

However, Shen Xingzhuo didn't have time to think about it, as the other girls in the dormitory also woke up at this time.

A pillow flew towards Shen Xingzhuo's face.

"Shut up! Why do you get up so early every time?"

Liu Ying was woken up by Shen Xingzhuo for two consecutive days, her face full of rage.

Shen Xingzhu dodged the pillow attack and smelled a stench of corpses.

His face stiffened, and without answering Liu Ying's question, he picked up the corresponding textbook from his timetable and left the dormitory.

Behind them, there was the sound of fireflies cursing.

As Shen Xingzhuo walked out of the dormitory building, she looked back and saw that every window was lit up, like stars in the dark night.

……

[It should be a symbol of hope, but for some reason it feels so tragic.]

Yes, I remember when I was in school, what I looked forward to most every day was meeting up with my best friends and talking about how we could go to Imperial University.

【Eh…】

Wait, will Sister Shen be alright walking alone? Didn't we say we'd go together?

Now that you mention it, I just remembered someone else! Hua Jiuyue hasn't shown up yet, could it be...?

[Wu Xiang: He didn't die, but became the first person to disappear in the ghost stories.]

【Why are you from the Kingdom of No Forms spying on things? But your sudden appearance gives off a feeling of misfortune.】

Since Shen Xingzhuo and Hua Jiuyue separated, the sky screen has only displayed the perspective of the corresponding chosen one.

The sudden appearance of Wuxiang citizens to speak was indeed unexpected by the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom.

But this also led to a comparison, with some believing that the Kingdom of No Prime was indeed more unfortunate.

There were no other students on the road.

The entire school path was deserted, the streetlights on both sides were still on, casting long shadows on the concrete. After a few steps, she sensed something indescribable in the air, as if something was slowly gathering. She didn't stop to check, but simply kept her pace at a normal rhythm.

The teaching building was at the end of the corridor, and the iron gate at the entrance was half-open. When she went in, the lights in the corridor weren't all on yet; only a few emergency lights were working, making the light dim. The whitewash on the walls had a faint yellowish-gray tint under the light. She found her classroom; the door was open, and several people were already sitting inside.

The school bell rang.

The moment the bell rang, Shen Xingzhuo sensed a change in the classroom atmosphere. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what was happening, but she could feel her attention involuntarily tightening. It felt like something was gently pushing the back of her head, fixing her gaze on the blackboard. She tried to shift her gaze, glancing at Hua Yu beside her, and found her staring intently at the blackboard.

A teacher stood on the podium. Shen Xingzhuo didn't remember when he had started standing there, nor whether he had made a sound when he came in. He was wearing a gray shirt, buttoned up to the top, his face expressionless, like a blank sheet of paper. When his voice rang out, Shen Xingzhuo felt the push on the back of his head intensify slightly.
