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

Xia Xiaoqin gripped the wood-chopping knife tightly, her face expressionless.

She found this knife in the yard outside.

But even though she was the one holding the knife, her breathing became rapid and trembling uncontrollably.

"Liu Ruyan, are you scared?"

Xia Xiaoqin turned her head slightly, listening to Liu Ruyan's suppressed screams.

"When you forced me to do a death broadcast and told me to die, I was just as scared as you were."

The moment she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan's face turned even paler.

Looking at Xia Xiaoqin, whose expression was unpredictable, she suddenly remembered the girl covered in blood and shouting at her before she entered the death live stream.

We won't let you get away with this.

Even if I die in the most tragic way, I will not let you go.

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened suddenly, her lips trembled with fear, and she could barely speak.

She suddenly understood.

—That monster disguised as Lu Yang was attracted to Xia Xiaoqin because of this sentence.

"Sister-in-law! Don't kill me... Let's talk this out! You want to know about Lu Yang, right? I'll tell you, I'll tell you now!"

Blood instantly flowed down Liu Ruyan's slashed neck, meandering along the rusty woodcutter's knife.

Xia Xiaoqin estimated the position of the woodcutter's knife, then raised her hand and increased the pressure.

"Shut up! Get back into the sheepfold right now! Do you think I'd still believe your nonsense, Liu Ruyan!"

The moment the roar subsided, Liu Ruyan screamed in terror, completely terrified.

Fear overwhelmed her.

For some reason, a strong intuition told her that if she continued to disobey Xia Xiaoqin, the other party would really kill her!

So she dared not say another word. Liu Ruyan trembled as she followed Xia Xiaoqin's instructions and was taken back to the sheepfold.

Along the way, Xia Xiaoqin held Liu Ruyan's left arm around her and pressed a wood-chopping knife against her neck with her right hand, carefully walking back in the direction she remembered.

But suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, a question popping into her head.

The whole sheep-catching game is nothing more than a word game of brain teasers.

Although it's somewhat difficult, it's not to the point where you can't react at all.

If that's the case, how did the death rate of no one surviving in this instance come about?

"Liu Ruyan, how long have you been staying in the sheepfold?"

Upon hearing Xia Xiaoqin's question, Liu Ruyan glanced in horror at the wood-chopping knife pressed against her neck and cautiously spoke.

"I've been here for almost a whole day..."

"So, no one has made it through this game?"

Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and answered truthfully, "No."

After all, on her first day in the game, she played the role of a maid in the kitchen, and then she was locked in the sheep pen after failing the sheep-catching game because she said that the sheep in the sheep pen were people.

Throughout the entire day, only one male player saw through the game's textual trap.

But he was beheaded by the chef because he exceeded the time limit.

Xia Xiaoqin suddenly froze.

time out?

Wait a minute, did the chef tell her when the game would start?

In an instant, Xia Xiaoqin's face turned ashen.

She was scammed!

Since the game's start time hasn't been set, doesn't that mean if the chef says the game time has passed, then it's over?!

Suddenly realizing something, the girl clenched her fists, staring blankly ahead, her expression changing from despair to a stubborn madness.

"Liu Ruyan, do you want to live?"

"I'll give you a chance, but you have to help me out, otherwise I won't send you to the sheepfold."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was stunned.

She looked down at the sickle that was still stuck in her neck, her voice filled with suspicion.

"What do you want me to do?"

Xia Xiaoqin took a few deep breaths and said, word by word, "I want you to use whatever method you have to lure a maid into a closed room alone!"

"We need to work together to turn her into a sheep!"

Upon hearing Xia Xiaoqin reveal her plan and the reasons for its execution, Liu Ruyan was utterly shocked, and her face turned somewhat pale.

—The sheep-catching game is a scam; no one can survive from the very beginning!

So she nodded and agreed to the plan, since she had no other choice.

However, there is one thing she needs to figure out.

"Sister-in-law, I can agree to that, but there's still one thing I want to ask you."

"How exactly did you survive the live death broadcast from that monster who looked like Lu Yang?"

Xia Xiaoqin frowned upon hearing Liu Ruyan's words.

For some reason, her heart started pounding.

But thinking about what happened last night, Xia Xiaoqin realized that she might have become so nervous because "Lu Yang" was frightened by the ghost of the third eldest young mistress last night.

Lu Yang is Lu Yang.

As for those shoes... those shoes...

Xia Xiaoqin's face was a little pale. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.

"Liu Ruyan, what are you talking about...? What kind of monster crawled out of the camera? Isn't that Lu Yang?"

"Lu Yang saved me during the death livestream, and he entered the game with me. We just met last night. He's not on your side at all. Why did you just say he wasn't human?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's face turned deathly pale.

A cold wind swept by, and her expression grew increasingly terrified.

Xia Xiaoqin was blind; she saw nothing.

Shouldn't we tell her? The real Lu Yang has long since been stripped of his disguise! She's dealing with a monster in human skin...

But suddenly, a cell phone rang urgently, sounding like Lu Yang's cell phone.

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!

Liu Ruyan thought she was hallucinating, and she trembled as she reached for her pocket.

It was a cell phone, Lu Yang's cell phone.

Who would be making a phone call in the world of ghost stories at this time?

"Feed?"

Liu Ruyan raised her phone with trembling fingers.

The hum of electricity sounded like someone screaming, and then, as if to warn her, a voice faintly uttered a single word.

"Shh-"
