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

In the dimly lit woodshed, Liu Ruyan was tied to a vat, her mouth spitting blood as she spat at Lu Yang again.

She will never forget the day the world of ghost stories was born.

I remember the sky was blood-red back then. After the entire faculty and students of a school disappeared, the ghost stories they had participated in quickly eroded reality.

As a result, the streets were littered with the bodies of people who had inexplicably broken the rules and died. Violence and fear quickly took over the entire city, and the survivors had no choice but to flee to the suburbs.

On that very day, she unexpectedly met Xia Xiaoqin.

At that time, Xia Xiaoqin was wearing a suit and looked somewhat aloof. She held tightly the hand of another man with a cold face and a slender figure. She calmly directed the panicked pedestrians to evacuate, and looked like a public official.

Later, she met Xia Xiaoqin again, but the other woman didn't remember her at all. She had taken off her suit and put on a white dress, and her head was wrapped in gauze, as if she had lost her memory. The man beside her had also changed.

At that moment, Liu Ruyan immediately realized that the man named Lu Yang was not her previous boyfriend at all!

But what does that have to do with her? All she wants is to survive better and maximize her profits!

"Liu Ruyan, I didn't know you knew so much."

In the dimly lit woodshed, Lu Yang looked down at Liu Ruyan, raised his hand, and slowly wiped the saliva off his face with his sleeve.

The bloodied and mangled face looked ferocious and terrifying after being wiped clean.

"It's really a pity that Xia Xiaoqin was so good to you back then. But Liu Ruyan, you didn't tell anyone about this in reality. You planned to use it to threaten me if necessary, right? But you never expected that you would enter the world of ghost stories."

"So it seems, Liu Ruyan, we really are a pair of beasts who can act."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ruyan's eyes widened suddenly, and a hand gripped her neck tightly.

Lu Yang's hands were covered in prominent veins, and his eyes were bloodshot.

But when the final moment arrived, Liu Ruyan stood firm for the first time and did not beg for mercy.

Her face flushed red, and she grinned, her blood-stained mouth revealing a smile that was more like a grimace, as she uttered the most venomous words in a hoarse voice.

"I'll be waiting for you in hell, you piece of trash."

Click.

A tooth-grinding sound rang out.

Lu Yang raised his hand, looked into Liu Ruyan's eyes, and slowly released his grip.

After watching the heavy object fall into the barrel, the man stood still and covered the barrel lid with his hand.

"Go to hell yourself, but don't take me with you. I'll outlive you."

Lu Yang turned around, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, and walked to the corner of the woodshed.

As his fingers probed into the dry firewood, he finally pulled out a silver bell bracelet.

The exquisitely crafted bells, seemingly shimmering in the night, hung on the beautiful silver bracelet, producing a clear and melodious sound when shaken.

Zhao Dafeng had boasted about this bell bracelet to him.

This thing was stolen from a very important person.

—Shen Yan, the strongest human player in the current world of supernatural tales.

It is said that this person entered the world of ghost stories on his own initiative, supposedly to find someone. He lived in the world of ghost stories for a whole year and is the most senior player.

Zhao Dafeng said that this bell was the hardest thing he had ever stolen in his life. He thought it was something valuable and almost lost his life, but it turned out to be useless. At most, it was only useful to a blind person, so he just threw it to him.

"This is really a good thing."

Lu Yang fumbled with the bell for a moment, then put it in his pocket before walking back towards the kitchen.

In the darkness of the night, his bloodied and mangled face looked even more terrifying.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiaoqin heard footsteps in the kitchen.

She instinctively gripped the wood-chopping knife tighter, and then heard that familiar voice lower its voice: "It's me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl felt a sudden coolness on her forehead. Something gently touched her skin, cool and with a metallic feel, and slid across her forehead.

"Reach out your hand."

Xia Xiaoqin reached out her hand, and then felt something being gently placed on her wrist by the man.

"What is this?"

Xia Xiaoqin raised her hand to touch it, and her fingertips touched a delicately patterned chain around her wrist, with several small bells attached to it.

She touched it again and again, shook it vigorously, but the bell still didn't ring.

"Xiaoqin, this is an item." Lu Yang's voice came from above her head, gentle and kind. "Items can only be obtained through dungeons and can be used in all dungeons. I stole this from Zhao Dafeng for you; it's a gift I specially gave you."

The moment the words fell, the system's cold, mechanical voice popped into Xia Xiaoqin's mind.

[Rank A Item: Blessing Bell Bracelet]

[Item Description: Protective Item]

【Skill ① Walking on Thin Ice: The sound of ice cracking is only audible to you】

This bell only sounds in times of danger, and only the wearer can hear it. Furthermore, each time the bell rings, the user will mentally perceive the source and exact location of the danger.

【Skill 2: Bewitching: Look at her radiant smile, and you too will be captivated】

When the user actively shakes the bracelet from side to side, the ringtone will trigger a distraction effect, causing the attacker to freeze in place for three seconds, completely immobilized. This distraction effect can be used a maximum of three times per day.

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned.

What an amazing prop!

Now she essentially has an eye that allows her to see the outside world in times of danger!

"Lu Yang, thank you so much!"

Instinctively, Xia Xiaoqin hugged Lu Yang.

Just then, she felt a sharp pain in her head, gasped for breath, and her empty eyes widened instantly.

"Lu Yang...wait a minute, I remember now!"

The girl's voice was filled with ecstatic joy.

"When you were little, you gave me a bell as a birthday present! I loved bells when I watched TV back then, so on my ninth birthday at the orphanage, you saved up for a long time to buy a silver one, do you remember?"

There was a moment of silence, then Lu Yang's voice rang out, tinged with laughter.

"Of course, thank you for remembering. I believe you will be able to recover all your memories, Xiaoqin."

In the dimly lit kitchen, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, a sinister glint flashing in them.

But the rooster huddled on the stove crowed in a sarcastic tone, mimicking Lu Yang's manner.

"Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh."

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" The rooster rolled its eyes at Lu Yang with its tiny, beady eyes.

But as soon as Xia Xiaoqin turned around, the chef quickly laughed it off, and despite the rooster's resistance, respectfully carried the rooster to another room.

"Let's go, Lu Yang, are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Lu Yang took Xia Xiaoqin's hand, his tone deep and serious.
