Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online

A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out, and Liu Ruyan completely broke down, collapsing to her knees with a thud.

The terrifying live broadcast of her death kept replaying in her mind, so Liu Ruyan covered her head and screamed.

"Sister-in-law, please don't kill me! I'll do anything you ask!"

"How did you survive? That monster that looks like Lu Yang crawled out of the camera right behind you, how could you possibly be alive!"

Liu Ruyan's incoherent wailing stunned Xia Xiaoqin.

So she repeated herself, word by word: "Liu Ruyan, what did you just say?"

"Who climbed out of the security camera?"

In the darkness, no one responded to Xia Xiaoqin's voice.

Xia Xiaoqin immediately became anxious. She took a step forward and spoke again, "Speak up, Liu Ruyan! What monster that looks like Lu Yang?! What exactly are you talking about?"

But a piercing scream rang out from the sheepfold.

The stout chef, with his large, hairy hands, suddenly opened the sheep pen, grabbed Liu Ruyan by the hair, and dragged her out of the kitchen.

He dragged Liu Ruyan's head down onto the dried blood stump as if she were a lamb to the slaughter, loosely and casually grasping at the "lamb's" fur.

"Sister-in-law... please help me!"

Xia Xiaoqin stood there, feeling her trouser leg tighten.

Liu Ruyan was heartbroken. She screamed and clung tightly to Xia Xiaoqin's trouser leg as if grasping at the last straw, her cries filled with unbearable sorrow.

"Sister-in-law! If you spare my life, I'll tell you everything! Really, I saw everything! That Lu Yang, he's not human—"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin acted almost faster than she thought, grabbing the chef's clothes and calling out to stop him.

"Wait! I need to talk to this person, don't make a move yet!"

The moment the words left her lips, something dripped onto Xia Xiaoqin's face.

One drop, two drops, one after another.

Xia Xiaoqin raised her head, her eyes vacant as she stared ahead.

A cleaver dripping with blood was held above her head, gesturing to show the size of her head.

The large, obese chef brandished his knife, revealing stained yellow teeth with a wicked grin.

The eerie laughter made Xia Xiaoqin, who was blind, somewhat suspicious.

But Liu Ruyan suddenly loosened her trouser leg, her voice changing with ecstatic joy: "Head Chef, you heard that! She said I'm a person!"

"So this bastard is the sheep—didn't you say that's the rule of the sheepfold?!"

In an instant, a rustling sound came from the sheepfold, and dozens of pairs of eyes, like water ghosts seeing people on the shore, all turned their necks to look at Xia Xiaoqin.

At that moment, Xia Xiaoqin felt a chill run through her body.

Even though she couldn't see, she could tell from the somber atmosphere that something terrible was about to happen.

There must be some rules in this kitchen that she doesn't know about, and she has already broken a taboo!

Before she could argue, the cook grabbed her hair and slammed her toward the sheep pen.

In a dizzying moment, Xia Xiaoqin fell to the ground. The stench of the sheep pen, mixed with fear, rose into the air.

The portly cook grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and shouted gleefully, "Congratulations! New sheep are coming to the sheepfold! One of you might regain your freedom!"

"The sheep-catching game begins now!"

As he spoke, the fat chef grinned maliciously, grabbed Xia Xiaoqin's hand, pressed it against the sheep pen gate, and pushed the gate open.

A few restless whispers rang out, and those trapped inside the sheepfold rushed out of the pen.

The chef squinted his bloodshot eyes and whispered to Xia Xiaoqin.

"Young Madam, you've broken the rule of mistaking a sheep for a human. Now you must participate in this sheep-catching game!"

"You have three hours to catch a sheep and put it back in the pen. Remember, once a sheep hides in its sanctuary, it cannot be caught unless it comes out on its own. Any enclosed room in the kitchen can be a sanctuary for a sheep. Given what you've done before, if you fail, I will make you suffer a terrible fate."

After saying that, the chef released his grip.

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin's body trembled uncontrollably.

Without weapons and being blind, she had no way of catching the sheep that had just escaped from the sheepfold.

But she calmed her breathing, slowly got up, and stood up straight.

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Xiaoqin raised her hand and touched the wall.

The rough earthen walls smelled foul, and when you rubbed them with your fingertips, they would leave behind a layer of fine powder.

She couldn't see anything, so she could only walk slowly along the base of the wall, her other hand outstretched in front of her, her fingertips groping in the air, until she finally touched the small wooden door that led from the kitchen to the sheepfold.

The kitchen was filled with the stench of blood, and the large pot on the stove was still bubbling away, but apart from that, there was no other sound.

It was as if those people who had just rushed out of the sheepfold had been swallowed whole by this house, their footsteps disappearing completely.

"Hehe~ She definitely won't find out the truth." Xiao Lü leaned against the door frame, tilting her head to look at Xia Xiaoqin, her clear black and white eyes darting around, full of a teasing smile.

"Remember to save her skin for me, I really like it."

Upon hearing this, the chef looked up and gave a knowing smile.

"Of course, since Little Green Girl asked, how could I dare refuse? But I need to get her brain out first. Damn it, she dared to smear chicken poop on my face just now; I'm going to boil her brain and the rooster together!"

As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, and the flames rose, illuminating the chef's fleshy face.

Not far away, Xia Xiaoqin did not stop.

She continued walking forward, and her finger suddenly touched a piece of paper pasted on the wall.

The rough edges of the paper were curled up, as if it had been pasted on for a long time.

Unfortunately, there was no Braille, so even if something was written, Xia Xiaoqin wouldn't understand it.

Just as Xia Xiaoqin withdrew her hand in disappointment, her fingertips suddenly touched the wall behind the paper.

Someone actually carved words with a knife! It was as if they were intentionally leaving clues for her.

So Xia Xiaoqin quietly lifted the paper and placed her palm on it.

Kitchen Rules

Humans are humans, and sheep are sheep; please do not mistake one for the other.

If you mistake a sheep for a person, a game of "catching the sheep" will begin. Remember, once a sheep hides in its sanctuary, it cannot be caught unless it comes out on its own. Any enclosed room in the kitchen can serve as a sheep's sanctuary.

Xia Xiaoqin put her hand back into her sleeve and continued walking forward.

So that's what happened.

She mistook one of the sheep in the sheepfold for another, thus triggering the rule.

Now she is a "human" and must catch one of the escaped "sheep" and send it back to the sheepfold, but the sheep hide in the room and close the door, so she can't go in to catch them and can only wait for them to come out on their own.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin's heart tightened.

She couldn't see and didn't know how many rooms there were.

And with three hours to go, she didn't know if the rooster would even survive. She had to speed things up and stay alert!

"sister in law."

But just as Xia Xiaoqin continued forward, a voice suddenly rang out from the left, only a few steps away.

Xia Xiaoqin's body tensed up instantly.

It's Liu Ruyan!

At this moment, anger almost consumed Xia Xiaoqin!

Without even thinking, Xia Xiaoqin immediately reached out to grab Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan screamed in terror and knelt down, grabbing her legs tightly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, but I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to. Let me help you catch the sheep, I know exactly which room they're hiding in!"

"If I lure them to open the door, you can catch them! Sister-in-law, give me a chance to atone for my sins! You're blind; you can't possibly catch them all by yourself!"
