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

Rumbling--

Lightning cleaved the darkness, streaking across the sky in a ghastly white light.

The fleeting white light, which vanished almost instantly, illuminated the man's face with an eerie glow.

The man's face seemed to remain unchanged, with deep features, a high nose bridge, and a perfectly undulating silhouette that connected with his thin lips and jawline.

As the lightning struck, the other half of the face, hidden in the darkness, transformed into something that wasn't human, spreading across the face and merging with the darkness.

"Okay, let's go back together."

Lu Yang bent down slightly, his large, pale hands tightly embracing Xia Xiaoqin, his tall figure looming over the girl.

At this moment, the man seemed to want to merge the girl into his very bones and blood, to possess every inch of her skin and flesh.

"Wait a minute, Lu Yang, don't hug me so tightly..."

"I can't breathe..."

In the suffocating oppression, every hair on Xia Xiaoqin's body stood on end, as if an animal instinctively revealed its most primal fear.

She began to feel afraid and instinctively pushed against the man's broad chest.

Chi Chi!

A low chuckle echoed in the air on the eerie wind, as if it were a hallucination.

"Don't be afraid, Xia Xiaoqin, it won't hurt."

As he spoke, the man in his arms hugged Xia Xiaoqin even tighter.

The fear of being swallowed up completely terrified Xia Xiaoqin.

"It hurts so much... No, Lu Yang, what are you doing? Relax, breathe..."

The girl raised her head, her slender white neck held high like that of a dying swan.

The man lowered his head, as if to comfort her, and hummed a lullaby into her ear to lull her to sleep.

As the melodious whistle rang out, Xia Xiaoqin, due to lack of oxygen, stared blankly ahead, her mind racing with the oath she had sworn during the live death broadcast that day.

We won't let you get away with this.

Even if I die in the most tragic way, I will never let you go.

—In this world, is there any other way to die more tragic than dying in the arms of the one you love most?

"elder sister!"

At that very moment, a deafening sound of a door being kicked open rang out.

The boy in his school uniform kicked open the door, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with anxiety.

"Qin Bufei?"

Xia Xiaoqin snapped back to reality, then felt someone reach out and grab her tightly.

"Sister, stay away from him!"

Qin Bufei's hands were bulging with veins as he grabbed Xia Xiaoqin and forcefully pulled the girl out of the tall man's arms.

"Cough, cough!"

The moment her lungs regained air, Xia Xiaoqin coughed violently, so violently that her face turned bright red.

What exactly happened just now?!

But the next second, Qin Bufei spoke up, his clear voice, unique to a young man, ringing out in the darkness.

"It's a ghost groom... Sister, what rule did you break? Tell me quickly, maybe there's still a chance to make amends!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin was immediately stunned.

What?

"Qin Bufei, what are you saying... This is my lover, Lu Yang."

"What lover! Sister, you can't see him, but he has a face!"

The moment the words left her lips, Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Despair and panic crashed down on her like a tsunami.

Impossible...impossible!

The one she just stabbed to death was clearly that monster.

The man in front of me is Lu Yang!

But the next second, a large and slender hand suddenly gripped Xia Xiaoqin.

"Xia Xiaoqin, are you alright?"

"But just now, I don't know why, I lost control and wanted to hurt you. It was terrifying; I almost hurt you."

Xia Xiaoqin suddenly reached up and touched something.

As she touched the other person's face, Xia Xiaoqin's hands trembled uncontrollably.

The man in front of her had skin temperature no different from that of an ordinary person, and his facial features were very deep, with a high nose bridge that perfectly connected with his thin lips and jawline to form a sharp silhouette.

Without a doubt, this is a face so handsome it's almost aggressive, so striking it's hard to look directly at.

"Aaaaaah!"

Xia Xiaoqin let out a soft cry and her body involuntarily retreated.

But Lu Yang's voice came through again.

"Xia Xiaoqin, don't be afraid, the monster is dead, my face has returned to normal, it's true..."

"Come here, don't be afraid."

Xia Xiaoqin's mind went blank, and the next second, she suddenly felt herself fly up.

The tall and slender Qin Bufei simply hoisted her up and then ran away as fast as he could.

As a high-level player, Qin Bufei's movements and thinking were noticeably faster.

"Qin Bufei, your injury!"

"Don't worry, it's alright..."

Qin Bufei looked behind him with his captivating peach blossom eyes.

Lu Yang stood there quietly watching them.

But the next second, Lu Yang slowly raised his hand.

In an instant, Qin Bufei's eyes widened.

That's a new clue!

【drop! 】

Player "Lu Yang" has obtained a new clue.

[Currently, player "Lu Yang" is ranked second in the main storyline clues]

Upon hearing the system's notification, Qin Bufei stopped in his tracks.

After all, only players can obtain clues. NPCs in the world of ghost stories have no way to get their hands on clues. In their hands, so-called clues are just ordinary things.

"Qin Bufei, where are you taking my lover?"

The tall figure waved the last clue in his hand, then stepped across the threshold.

"Also, your relationship... is actually closer than I imagined."

Her tone was low and husky, carrying a hint of barely concealed jealousy.

However, Qin Bufei did not act rashly.

He looked Lu Yang up and down, then took a few steps back.

"Sister, what happened?"

Qin Bufei lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

"What exactly happened on your end?"

For a moment, Xia Xiaoqin didn't know where to begin.

She couldn't tell them apart, she really couldn't!

Clutching Qin Bufei's collar, Xia Xiaoqin cried out in despair, "Qin Bufei, I found Lu Yang... but the ghost groom came too. They were all faceless then. I have to find out who the real Lu Yang is among them!"

"I thought I found it, but I think I've found the wrong one! I'm really not sure... I just stabbed that monster to death, I... I think I killed my lover! Killed the real Lu Yang!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bufei, a young man with a somewhat immature face, showed a hint of confusion.

Kill your lover?

But to the naked eye, he really couldn't tell that the man in front of him wasn't human.

Moreover, he had never heard of any NPCs in the world of ghost stories being able to obtain clues.

"Sister, how many main plot lines do you have right now?"

Hearing this in the darkness, Xia Xiaoqin was taken aback, not expecting the topic to change so quickly.

However, she still responded, saying that there are currently six leads.

Upon hearing this answer, Qin Bufei's expression froze.

With only six hours left, they would die if they couldn't gather the last clue.

"Sister, I think... you haven't mistaken me for someone else."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Bufei put Xia Xiaoqin down from his shoulder.

"He has a new clue. Generally, only players can possess clues, so there shouldn't be any problem..."

As she returned to the ground, Xia Xiaoqin's tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Lu Yang... do you have any more clues?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang seemed to smile and took a few steps forward.

But Qin Bufei immediately stood in front of the girl, like a tall and straight bamboo.

"Wait a minute, just because I said there's no problem doesn't mean there really is no problem."

"Sister, even if he is human, he really did want to kill you just now!"
