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

"Lu Yang...is it really you?"

Xia Xiaoqin was trembling all over, and she could barely speak.

The voice sounded perfectly normal; it was exactly Lu Yang's voice.

"Xiaoqin, it really is me, Lu Yang."

As he spoke, the man's large, slender hands untied the hemp rope binding her.

As if in response, Xia Xiaoqin suddenly pushed the other person away, her whole body trembling.

"You...you don't touch me!!!" Xia Xiaoqin heard her own heartbeat getting faster and louder.

"You and Liu Ruyan are in cahoots! You forced me to do a suicide livestream, how... how can I trust you?!"

Sizzle—Sizzle—

A crackling sound of electricity flashed by, and not far away, the fallen camera still emitted a piercing white light, illuminating the corpses scattered around it.

And Lu Yang's deep and magnetic voice slowly rang out again beside Xia Xiaoqin.

"Xiaoqin, don't you believe me?"

"Liu Ruyan was lying to you. How could I betray you? Xiaoqin, I love you..."

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin's breathing became rapid.

But she immediately retorted loudly, "Then where were you just now, Lu Yang? Where were you when I needed you most? And where are the others now?"

The air suddenly became deathly still.

A drop of blood fell onto Xia Xiaoqin's face.

The girl wiped it away with her hand in confusion, but then smelled a faint scent of blood.

is blood!

"Lu Yang, what's wrong with you?!"

Xia Xiaoqin panicked and instinctively reached out her hand.

Lu Yang pulled her close with his large, warm hand and gently pressed it against his face.

"They're all dead, Xia Xiaoqin."

"Look at what I did to save you."

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqin's hand, touching the other's face, trembled uncontrollably.

The man before me had a very deep-set face with a high nose bridge that perfectly connected with his thin lips and jawline to form a sharp, undulating silhouette.

This handsome, aggressive face was bleeding profusely, covered in blood.

It's sizzling!

The camera flashed again.

On the pale screen, a tall figure approached Xia Xiaoqin, its shadow looming over her, as if something inhuman was about to burst forth from that face and devour the girl.

"Xia Xiaoqin, who do you think I am now?"

In the eerie, cold wind, the girl, who had survived the ordeal, had tears streaming down her pale face, yet she also revealed her most radiant smile.

"Lu Yang, I knew you wouldn't hurt me! Liu Ruyan and the others were all lying to me!"

"I'm willing to share the blame for the crime you committed! We'll turn ourselves in together. You'll always be the person I love most, I love you!"

As she spoke, the girl placed her fair feet on the man's leather boots and raised her head.

Blood dripped continuously onto her face like tears, but she opened her arms and embraced the other person without hesitation.

Chi Chi.

In the darkness, the ashes of the burnt incense fell again, as if laughing.

Just then, Xia Xiaoqin's raised hand suddenly touched a pair of familiar leather boots behind Lu Yang, which then fell from the ceiling.

Hey?

The girl's fingertips traced the texture of the shoe's surface, her expression somewhat surprised.

Even after completely losing her sight, she could still recognize the leather boots by touch.

These are the shoes she has washed countless times by hand, and they are the only shoes that would rush towards her when the world ends.

Her boyfriend of many years, Lu Yang's leather boots.

Why are Lu Yang's leather boots hanging in mid-air?

Xia Xiaoqin's face turned deathly pale.

Chi Chi.

In the darkness, the ashes of the burnt incense fell again, like a man laughing.

The next second, a piercing alarm blared out as if it would pierce the entire world.

Blood instantly stained the sky crimson, as if the entire world was falling and sinking into hell.

[Warning! Player "Xia Xiaoqin" has been chosen by the world of ghost stories!]

[You are about to enter the Ghost Stories instance, please prepare.]

In an instant, Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened in disbelief that she had been chosen by the world of ghost stories at such a time.

She slowly raised her head, her lips pale.

"Lu Yang! You...you're Lu Yang, right?"

The tall figure seemed to smile, his large, slender hands tightly embracing Xia Xiaoqin, gently stroking her long hair as if comforting a child.

"Shhh."

The moment the snorts landed, the girl vanished into thin air.

Looking at the rubber band that Xia Xiaoqin had dropped on the ground, "Lu Yang" seemed to smile. He hooked the rubber band with his slender fingers and brought his fingers to his lips.

In the distance, despair spreads, death is celebrated, and countless people flee outside the dilapidated building, only to disappear in the end.

Despite his despair, the man seemed to be in a good mood, whistling, humming an unknown tune, and fiddling with the rubber band in his hand.

As the song ended, "Lu Yang" also disappeared from the spot.

Rumbling--

With a loud crash, a faceless man fell to the floor.

The man writhed, trying painfully to get up, but he vanished.

Then, everything fell into complete silence once again.

……

"Hehe, hehe!"

After an unknown amount of time, the women's rustling laughter rose like ghosts, causing Xia Xiaoqin to slowly open her eyes.

Her frantic breathing was as if she had been jolted awake from a nightmare.

"What happened? Where did Lu Yang go? Just now..."

Recalling the leather boots she had just touched hanging in the air behind Lu Yang, Xia Xiaoqin's face grew even paler.

A sense of unease lingered in her heart amidst the shadows.

—Clearly, the person who hugged her was Lu Yang, wasn't he?

Amidst the gusts of cold wind, the large red lanterns in the corridors of the Lu residence swayed incessantly.

In the crimson light and shadow, several slender figures could be vaguely seen standing in the corridor, rustling and whispering in the wind.

"Hehe~ Have you heard? Ever since the third young mistress died, the eldest young master of the Lu family has been possessed by an evil spirit!"

"I heard that his third wife, whom he killed, possessed him and drove him mad! So the Lu family found him four more wives in a row to bring him good luck, but each one of them died tragically in the Lu family, making the resentment in the entire Lu family even stronger!"

Hearing the women talking, Xia Xiaoqin slowly reached out her hand in the darkness, stroking it as she stretched it forward.

They were still talking about something.

"Oh, by the way, it seems there's a new bride coming to the young master tonight to bring him good luck!"

"Hehe, do you think she'll survive tonight?"

A fine sheen of cold sweat soaked Xia Xiaoqin's forehead. She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively opened her mouth: "Hello?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the conversation ceased.

Beneath the blood-red double happiness characters plastered all over the corridor, a row of exquisitely crafted paper figures, their faces painted with rouge, all stared with their round eyes toward Xia Xiaoqin's back.

It was as if there was something behind her.

"Hello?"

Xia Xiaoqin, who couldn't see anything, tentatively spoke again.

Entering the world of ghost stories for the first time, she had no experience whatsoever. Just as she reached out her hand to the person speaking, her expression changed immediately, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

—The ones who just spoke were actually a row of paper effigies!

Just then, an extremely tall figure slowly approached from behind her.

Under the swaying blood-red lanterns, a man in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes bent down, his red veil cascading down his head, landing close behind the girl.

"Small quilt".

"Lu Yang?!"

Upon hearing Lu Yang's voice, Xia Xiaoqin turned around in fear, but still subconsciously reached out her hand.

But the cool silk brushed past her fingertips and then disappeared.

In the darkness, "Lu Yang" seemed to chuckle softly, his voice neither too close nor too far, as if he were only a few steps away from the girl.

"I'm here, Xiaoqin."

The feeling of fear grew stronger, but Xia Xiaoqin couldn't help but keep moving forward following the familiar voice.

"Lu Yang! Where are you?! I can hear you! What are you doing?"

With a stumble, Xia Xiaoqin tripped over the threshold and fell into a room.

Touching the blanket on the ground, the girl slowly propped herself up, then touched in surprise the thing stuck to her palm and sniffed it a few times.

It contains red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds.

These things stunned Xia Xiaoqin, and she immediately realized that this room was a bridal chamber.

A piece of paper, perfectly positioned, drifted on the cold wind and landed right next to Xia Xiaoqin's hand.

The girl tentatively felt around with her fingers and found several lines of large characters written neatly in Braille.

[Lu Family Rules]

What?

Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists in disbelief.

Beneath the blood-red double happiness symbol, a tall and slender man, draped in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, stood veiled over his head, quietly standing before Xia Xiaoqin.
