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

A pro player? A clue?

Should we target her?

Xia Xiaoqin was completely confused.

However, Qin Bufei patiently explained it to her.

"Sister, a pro player usually refers to a high-level player who has survived an S-level danger dungeon and three A-level dungeons."

"Clues are the key items for clearing dungeons. Usually, you can only leave a dungeon successfully after finding all the clues."

The boy explained it to her succinctly.

Xia Xiaoqin immediately understood the meaning.

Thinking of the "red veil" she received last night, she tentatively asked, "So... are you trying to steal my clues?"

Qin Bufei shook his head, but he quickly realized that Xia Xiaoqin couldn't see, so he raised an eyebrow and spoke again.

"No, I'm here to cooperate with you, sister~ In the dungeon, players can team up with each other. As long as the team members collect all the clues, they can escape the dungeon together. And of the 12 players who are currently alive, 6 are teammates of a pro player."

"So, sister, let's team up! You have a lot of potential, and I'm really serious about it~"

The sudden invitation left Xia Xiaoqin stunned.

The next second, the system's voice rang in her mind.

Player "Qin Bufei" has sent you a team invitation.

【Whether to accept? 】

Xia Xiaoqin sensed something was amiss.

However, if she didn't accept it, she suspected that the other party would try to take it by force.

But just as she was about to speak, Qin Bufei spoke first, his tone very cheerful and flippant.

"Sister~ I knew you would have concerns, so I prepared a gift for you before we started to express my sincerity."

"Dog, come out and meet your new owner~"

Qin Bufei raised his hand and shook the rope tied to his wrist.

Liu Ruyan, who was hiding behind the door trying to untangle the knot, suppressed her emotions and walked over with a pale face.

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law!"

Liu Ruyan had barely opened her mouth when she knelt down on the ground in a perfect posture.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so glad you're still alive! I wanted to wait for you in the woodshed, but there were people there, so I ran away. I was really worried about you!"

Clearly, Liu Ruyan understood the saying "a wise man submits to circumstances."

But the moment she knelt down, her pupils suddenly contracted.

She saw it!

She saw that "Lu Yang" was lying on the ground.

"Aaaaaah! It's it! It's it! That monster!"

Liu Ruyan was so frightened that she hid behind Qin Bufei.

The scream startled Xia Xiaoqin.

But Liu Ruyan didn't stop yelling. She grabbed Xia Xiaoqin's collar and shouted incoherently.

"Xia Xiaoqin, you're insane! Why is he here?! Didn't I tell you? He's not human! He's not human!"

Liu Ruyan completely broke down.

The terrifying scenes that had happened before lingered in her mind.

She would never forget the man whose face was peeled off, nor would she forget the one who killed everyone—"Lu Yang".

"I told you, he's not human, don't you understand?! He... he's a monster in human skin!"

Liu Ruyan was terrified. Her stern appearance stunned Xia Xiaoqin and made Qin Bufei frown slightly.

The boy in the oversized school uniform jumped down from the table, observing the man on the ground with suspicion and caution.

"Sister, who is he?"

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Xia Xiaoqin shoved Liu Ruyan away and suddenly raised her wood-chopping knife.

The blind girl stood before her lover, protecting him with her slender body.

"Don't go near him! He's a human being! He's the lover I've known since childhood!"

A deathly silence filled the air.

Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists, her palms damp with a fine layer of cold sweat.

But the boy smiled and pulled a butterfly knife from his oversized school uniform.

The sharp blade swirled between the boy's fingers like a fluttering butterfly.

"Dog, tell me, why do you say this fallen man isn't human?"

Upon hearing Qin Bufei's question, Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, unsure how to explain.

A cold wind swept by, and the ashes from the incense on the octagonal table fell in a soft rustling sound, as if laughing.

Upon smelling this odor, Liu Ruyan's taut nerves completely broke down, and she screamed hysterically.

"I told you he's not human! Why don't any of you believe me?!"

"He killed my teammate... He's not Lu Yang at all! He's not! We have to kill him right now!"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin took a deep breath.

Then, she asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Liu Ruyan, since you say he's not Lu Yang, then I ask you, where is the real Lu Yang?"

"this......"

In an instant, Liu Ruyan's face turned deathly pale, and her expression became distorted.

What happened that day was the biggest nightmare of her life.

But no matter how she tried to recall the nightmare, she couldn't answer that question.

Because the only time she saw "Lu Yang" was when she saw this "man".

"Liu Ruyan, I'm warning you one last time: don't lie to me again."

Seeing that Liu Ruyan couldn't answer, Xia Xiaoqin's voice turned icy cold.

"From the time of the death live stream, you lied to me that you were with Lu Yang, and that it was all Lu Yang's doing. Then, in the later games, you lied to me too many times. I've long since lost my patience with you."

"As for those teammates who died, to tell you the truth, if it were to save Lu Yang, I would have fought my way out just like him."

A cold wind blew by.

The boy raised an eyebrow, watching the two arguing, then with a flick of his wrist, deftly grasped the butterfly knife and slashed open "Lu Yang's" neck.

Seeing the faint bloodstains beneath which the man was bleeding in a manner no different from that of an ordinary person, Qin Bufei slowly withdrew his hand.

"Looks like it's a human, huh? It's all human blood."

Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened, her empty gaze staring blankly into the air. Her voice became hesitant: "What did you do? Don't touch him!"

But Qin Bufei let out a sneer.

As the butterfly knife danced deftly in his hand, he lowered his head and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Sister, a man who always needs your protection and care can hardly be called a good man."

"Besides, you can't protect him, because you are the tempting piece of Tang Sanzang."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Alarm bells rang in Xia Xiaoqin's mind.

She listened intently; the commotion outside the door suggested that it wasn't just one person, but at least five or six!

Their footsteps were hurried and loud, stomping heavily on the stone slabs of the corridor without any attempt to conceal it.

"Are you sure that Xia Xiaoqin is here?"

Faintly, someone whispered something, the sound muffled by the door, as if confirming their location with someone.

"Yes, I'm sure. I've inquired. She's a pretty woman, and she's a newcomer."

"Hehe, is she all alone?"

"That's right, guys, hurry up and just snatch it by force—it's just a woman, what can she do? The first three clues have all been taken by that madman Qin Bufei, and only the one she has can lead to the next new clue. She can only blame her own bad luck for messing with our Brother Feng. Brother Feng likes to massacre cities every time he participates in a dungeon, and he will never let the clues fall into the hands of outsiders."

Hearing the undisguised malice in the voice, Xia Xiaoqin trembled.

The rooster poked its head out from Xia Xiaoqin's arms, its beady eyes fixed on the door panel, and let out a frightened gurgling sound.

These people are definitely not to be trifled with.

"Sister, you heard that too, right? These are the teammates of the other high-level player I was talking about."

Qin Bufei fiddled with his butterfly knife, glancing nonchalantly toward the door.

"So, sister, what are you planning to choose? Me... or them?"
