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

A cold wind blew in.

The boy climbed out of the window with Xia Xiaoqin, looking just like a wild cat jumping down from the eaves.

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin was somewhat surprised.

Qin Bufei possessed astonishing strength.

His arms were very steady, and you could feel the lean muscles underneath even through his school uniform.

Is this really a student?

"Go to the kitchen! The next clue is in the well there!"

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Bufei made a sharp turn and ran in another direction with her.

Xia Xiaoqin has a good sense of direction, and she clearly sensed that she was in the wrong place.

So she immediately grabbed Qin Bufei's collar, indicating that he had gone the wrong way.

But at that moment, Qin Bufei covered her mouth, then slipped away with her and hid inside the house, as if he knew exactly what was coming.

A few seconds later, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

Xia Xiaoqin raised her head, pricked up her ears, and smelled the smoke.

Outside the door, the sound of a lighter clicking was immediately heard.

Immediately, a fawning voice rang out.

"Boss, don't worry, Er Gou and the others will definitely catch that woman. They can't handle that madman Qin Bufei, but they can handle a woman, especially since she's a newbie!"

Amidst the smoke and flames, a man, his entire body tanned dark by the sun and a huge scar running through his face, exhaled a puff of smoke, then gritted his teeth and flicked off the ash.

"Shut up! Wasn't that little bastard Qin Bufei a newbie at first? All he did at the beginning was scream and howl, he was so scared he almost peed his pants every day, but in the end he made me suffer a huge setback! And now I have this scar on my face forever!"

"So from now on, you absolutely must not underestimate her! A newbie who can survive one night in an SSS-level dungeon and even obtain clues is definitely not someone to be trifled with! We must eliminate her; the fewer players who survive, the richer the rewards will be after clearing the dungeon! Moreover, in an SSS-level dungeon, clues won't regenerate after they're taken; ultimately, only players who collect all the clues can leave alive... We absolutely cannot let anyone else live!"

Amidst the swirling smoke, the two whispered to each other for a while longer.

Then the footsteps faded into the distance, as if they had gone far away.

Xia Xiaoqin raised her head, and in the darkness, she reached out and patted Qin Bufei's hand, indicating that she no longer needed to cover her mouth.

"Qin Bufei, there are many things you haven't told me."

Qin Bufei chuckled, his tone sounding somewhat flippant.

"Sister~ We don't seem to be completely honest with each other, how annoying~ I'm only eighteen, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xia Xiaoqin grinned.

She pointed out with some helplessness that what she hadn't told Qin Bufei wasn't Qin Bufei's dark history, but rather the fact that the "reward" and the "clue" would not be repeated.

Upon hearing this, Qin Bufei relaxed a little.

"Sister, blame yourself for not asking."

"Actually, there's not much to ask. It's just that there are rewards after each dungeon run."

Qin Bufei's explanation was concise and to the point.

In the world of ghost stories, the difficulty of dungeons ranges from low to high, from C to SSS level.

Each time a player successfully completes a dungeon, they will receive reward items. The higher the dungeon difficulty and the fewer players survive, the stronger the reward items will be.

"Clues," being the only thing that can leave a dungeon, can be regenerated in other dungeons.

Therefore, once a player has collected all the clues and leaves, the instance will regenerate the clues, allowing the remaining players to continue the game.

However, SSS-level dungeons are different; once the clues are taken, they will never be regenerated.

In other words, this instance is a true battleground.

From the very beginning, even if a group of advanced players attempt to complete the level, only the ultimate winner will escape.

"So, this is why you risked your life to win me over? You and that Brother Feng are enemies, and you need to unite with the few survivors to increase the chances of finding clues."

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Xiaoqin finally realized why Shang Qin Bufei had chosen her.

Because there was no other choice.

Apart from Feng Ge's men, only she, Liu Ruyan, and Lu Yang are still alive in the entire instance.

"But Qin Bufei, you say you can foresee the future. If this isn't just nonsense, then dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? Like in novels or movies..."

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin heard Qin Bufei let out a sneer.

The boy seemed to disagree with her statement.

"Sister, you're so melodramatic~ I only have one life, and in reality, there's no such thing as a no-damage playthrough!"

"Moreover, I can only know the future by sleeping. The better the quality of my sleep, the more information I get about the future, and the closer it is to the present time. Otherwise, it's useless."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin suddenly froze.

She remembered where she had heard the name "Qin Bufei" before!

It's from the news report!

Xia Xiaoqin still remembers that it happened a week before the college entrance examination last year.

At the time, the media urgently reported that Qin Bufei, a senior high school student at the No. 1 High School in the city, was suspected of having a mental breakdown due to the pressure of the college entrance examination. He woke up from his sleep during a break in evening self-study and caused a disturbance at the school, threatening to smash the school gate and escape when the world was about to end.

But 24 hours later, the world of ghost stories descended upon the No. 1 Middle School of the city, and none of the teachers and students of the school escaped unscathed.

"I never imagined that someone could actually predict the future... and that it would be a mere 18-year-old..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xia Xiaoqin was at a loss for words.

After a long while, she slowly spoke.

"Qin Bufei, when did you dream that you died because of me? And for what reason... did I kill you?"

At this moment, Qin Bufei's expression became subtle.

But he didn't answer. He just raised the corners of his lips, his beautiful peach blossom eyes curving into crescent moons as he gazed at Xia Xiaoqin with a half-smile.

"you guess."

I guess?

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin fell silent, secretly telling herself that she absolutely had to be more cautious.

She simply couldn't understand how the other person could die in her arms...

So even now, as two birds in the same boat, she must be wary of the other party—just as the other party would be wary of her.

"Let's go, sister, let's hurry and get to the well that the clue points to."

In the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin felt something nudging her.

She fumbled around and found it was a rolling pin.

The boy handed her the rolling pin, gesturing for her to hold onto the other end, as he was about to run away.

Xia Xiaoqin did not hesitate and followed Qin Bufei's footsteps, hugging the rooster tightly as they walked forward in the pitch black.

"Sister, we've arrived at the only deep well in the kitchen."

Standing by the well, Xia Xiaoqin gripped the rolling pin tightly and whispered cautiously, "Could you please take a look? Is there anything special about this well?"

Qin Bufei shrugged and leaned down to look into the well.

The well was very deep, pitch black, and the bottom was nowhere in sight.

The topmost blue bricks of the well wall were covered with slippery moss. As the wooden bucket used for drawing water swayed on the surface of the water, a damp, fishy smell rose from the well opening, mixed with some indescribable odor.

The boy then looked away, his voice flippant.

"Sister, I've been here before, there's nothing special about it~"

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the rooster suddenly broke free from Xia Xiaoqin's arms, flapped its wings, and jumped onto the edge of the well.

As the rooster's claws trotted back and forth along the narrow stone edge, its tiny, bean-sized eyes suddenly fixed on a spot by the well's edge. It abruptly turned its head and crowed at Qin Bufei.

The call was short and urgent, as if it were calling for someone.

So Qin Bufei raised an eyebrow, bent down, grabbed the rooster by the base of its wing, and lifted it up completely.

"Whoa whoa???"

The rooster flapped its wings in his hand, its legs kicking wildly in the air, its crow changing from urgent to angry, as if it didn't understand what the other was doing.

But the boy tilted his head, examining the plump and lean rooster in his hand, his peach blossom eyes curving into a smile.

"Sister, are you hungry? I'm a little hungry."
