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

Shen Xingzhuo's reasons were very convincing, from the story background to the underlying logic, they were all airtight, leaving no room for error in the strange tales.

But compared to her composure, the mastermind behind the ghost stories seemed far from relaxed.

after all……

Even if 20% of the plot points are crucial, how much information can you actually gain from them?

It chose to bring forward the time and then suddenly asked the question after Shen Xingzhuo had concentrated intensely, naturally hoping that Shen Xingzhuo would not be able to answer or even answer incorrectly.

It said there would be no punishment, but in reality, it was trying to take advantage of Shen Xingzhuo's mistake to reduce her standing in the eyes of the people of Tianxia.

But to everyone's surprise, Shen Xingzhuo actually answered the question correctly!

Her logic was even based on the cause and effect principles of Taoism, which directly attacked it in a way that was like a dimensional reduction attack.

Shen Xingzhuo sensed the oppressive atmosphere of the ghost story and chuckled silently.

To date, she has collected information samples from three ghost stories—

And it has been almost confirmed that the stories in the ghost stories are not just fairy tales, but tragedies that actually happened in reality.

This is why "core characters" who guide the story's direction appear in ghost stories.

For example, the younger sister in "My Sister Carries a Doll" and the protagonist, Snow White, in "The Thorn Hotel: Sleepless Nights" with her will to live despite death.

The formation of ghost stories is like this: after a person dies unnaturally, due to their heavy resentment or regret, they become a bound spirit, endlessly circling the moment of their death in the same spot.

However, the difference is that ghost stories do not present a story of "a single moment", but a complete chain of cause and effect!

Those who frequently perform rituals to help others pass on to the afterlife know how unwise it is to interfere in the karma of others.

This is why the chosen ones are subject to varying degrees of mental pollution in the ghost stories, becoming infected by the will of "others" and thus making wrong choices.

Shen Xingzhuo let out a long sigh of relief.

She had always known these principles, but she couldn't understand what benefit the wielding ghost would gain from doing this.

Is it simply because he is a pervert who enjoys watching others face their doom?

Just as she was thinking this, her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the ghost story.

[The chosen one has answered correctly. Please choose one of the following reward items!]

[Reward 1: Golden Holy Robe. Wearing this robe automatically generates a protective holy light around you, which will sting anyone who touches you with evil intentions.]

[Reward Two: Purple Gold Bell Ring. Ring the bell on the bell ring and then call out the name of the person you wish to immobilize. If this person is within three meters of the Chosen One, they will be successfully immobilized. At that time, the Chosen One can ask the other person three questions. The answers to the questions may be one true and two false, or two true and one false.]

Note: The cooldown time for the Spirit Ring is half a day in interstellar time.

[Chosen One, please make your choice immediately!]

"I choose the purple and gold bell rings!"

Almost immediately after the ghost stories ended, Shen Xingzhuo made his choice.

When faced with such a choice, she couldn't help but think about why she had entered this fusion-themed ghost story.

Three seconds!

It must have been really tough on it!

It could have just thrown her into an SS-class fusion mystery, but instead, it played along with her and put on a show of "she has the right to choose."

Her choice of the purple and gold bell rings was not a hasty decision.

She was already making a judgment the moment the ghost story read out the options.

The triggering concept of items like the Golden Saint Robe is actually not constant.

If an aggressor violates others, but his mindset is one of "pilgrimage," how should that be considered?

She neither could nor had the patience to argue with ghost stories about such human nature.

While the Purple Gold Bell Ring has cooldown time and a bug related to the Q&A function, its ability to immobilize enemies is incredibly powerful.

This means she can freeze a monster in place at any time and let her do whatever she wants with it!

Just thinking about it makes me feel even more invincible.

The reward has been issued.

[Now, the chosen one, please answer the second question.]

[Question 2: Did Pei Jinyu ever regret leaving the Pei family's shadow? Regardless, please provide your reasoning.]

The purple-gold bell ring has been delivered to her personal space.

Shen Xingzhuo finally showed a genuine smile.

Just as she was about to take out the props, she noticed the note that Guan Shanyue had put in.

Real-time online user count is now enabled.

Speculation: You will meet in a ghost story.

Shen Xingzhuo glanced at the words written on the note without showing any emotion, then burned it to ashes with his spiritual fire.

She took out the purple-gold bell ring, and a mischievous smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

She gently flicked her wrist, and a clear bell rang out in the room.

"Ring ring—"

"Ring ring—"

Shen Xingzhuo tried hard to suppress her laughter and whispered, "Strange tale."

【Um? 】

The ghost story probably didn't expect her to use such a move, and subconsciously responded to her call.

The next second, the air seemed to freeze, ceasing to move.

Shen Xingzhuo used his mental eye as his eyes, and at this moment he could even see the stagnant Yin Qi in the air!

Ghost Story: ...'Why did you freeze me in place when I told you to use the tool!'

But Shen Xingzhuo was destined never to hear its cries.

This prop surprised and delighted her!

It seems that even if it's just a code name, it can successfully immobilize someone within three meters.

Moreover, in her eyes, this test was not a waste of the precious opportunity to use the props.

After all, the most powerful of the supernatural creatures in ghost stories are just underlings.

She understands the principle of "capture the king first to catch the thief."

Shen Xingzhuo cleared his throat and asked, "Did Pei Jinyu regret leaving the Pei family's shadow?"

Ghost Story: !!! The Reversal of Heavenly Spirits!!!

However, constrained by the rules, it has to answer this question.

"no."

Shen Xingzhuo raised an eyebrow and continued, "Why didn't she regret it?"

"I don't understand."

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes narrowed slightly; it seemed there was still one small problem—

While asking questions may constrain the other person to answer them, they also have the right to choose how to answer.

However, this is understandable.

If she were truly invincible, the ghost stories wouldn't have given her this thing.

Shen Xingzhuo thought for a moment and then asked her third question: "Do you know where Pei Jinyu is after her marriage?"

The ghost story paused for a second, as if choosing its words, but this time the answer was longer than usual.

"She's at the Pei residence. Her married life is quite happy. Her relatives are harmonious, and her husband, who married into the family, is very considerate. She's very content, so naturally she wouldn't go anywhere else."

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly realized.

Now it's her turn to answer the questions.

"My answer is that Pei Jinyu has never regretted it."

What's the reason?

The chilling voice of the ghost story resounded.

Shen Xingzhu raised a confident smile.

"Because I, Pei Yin, am enough to heal the wounds in her heart!"
