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

"Why...why are you doing this to me?! Why!?"

Xia Xiaoqin trembled as she touched the face that was stroking her cheek.

"Speak up, Lu Yang! Why are you torturing me like this?! Do you love me or hate me?!"

At that moment, the girl screamed until she was hoarse, and even tasted blood in her throat, as if a bellyful of hatred was about to burst out with blood.

But the more she spoke of hatred, the more tears she couldn't stop falling.

Drop by drop, it fell onto the man's blood-stained chest.

Gazing at Xia Xiaoqin, Lu Yang lowered his eyes in the darkness, revealing no emotion.

Then a low, husky voice slowly rang out.

"Never forget me, Xia Xiaoqin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall figure completely lost his strength and fell heavily into Xia Xiaoqin's arms.

Xia Xiaoqin stumbled, the weight pressing her backward.

"elder sister!"

Qin Bufei reacted quickly, grabbing her back while simultaneously gripping the hilt of the knife embedded in Lu Yang's chest with his other hand.

"Quickly pull out the knife! Sister, now's your chance!"

"Don't pull it out!!!"

Xia Xiaoqin suddenly turned around and used her whole body to shield the man in her arms.

"He'll die if you pull it out—you're not allowed to pull it out! You're not allowed!!"

Qin Bufei stared at Xia Xiaoqin in surprise, his slender hand frozen in mid-air.

At this moment, tears of blood streamed down Xia Xiaoqin's pale face, the tears and blood mingling together.

She clung tightly to the man who had tried to kill her twice, like a young animal clinging to its only kin, roaring at Qin Bufei.

At this moment, Qin Bufei could no longer laugh.

He raised his hand and suddenly grabbed Xia Xiaoqin, forcibly pulling her out of the man's arms.

"Sister! Are you crazy?!"

"What are you doing? He's a bad person! What do you love about him?! At most, this is suicide out of guilt!"

But Xia Xiaoqin hugged Lu Yang and buried her face in his bloodied chest.

Feeling the warmth of the other person, she couldn't let go.

As memories of the past flooded her mind, Xia Xiaoqin screamed like a madwoman.

"I don't love him, I don't love him at all, but he's all I have left... he's all I have left!"

"We've been inseparable for over a decade, from childhood to adulthood! He's my past, and I can't let go of my past, I just can't!"

Seeing the girl completely break down, Qin Bufei lowered his hand and suddenly couldn't say anything.

Just then, the last clue fell from Xia Xiaoqin's hand.

Qin Bufei sighed and picked it up casually.

Just then, he saw the suicide note, which contained a very short line of text.

[The Second Young Master of the Lu Family's Last Will and Testament]

Who will become the new me? And who will I become?

This dilapidated house, which has been decaying for many years, will never disappear, nor will the poor women in the well; there will always be new ones.

None of us can escape.

Qin Bufei didn't understand at all, so he sighed and put it down.

But suddenly, the lights in the Lu family's dark mansion were turned on again.

The houses and courtyards seemed unusually excited, as if they were welcoming something.

And from somewhere, a shrill voice echoed in the darkness.

"Hehe, the new young mistress of the Lu family is coming! Hurry up and get ready~"

"Hehe, the dead young master of the Lu family will also wake up again. As long as the soul of that rooster is still there, the second young master of the Lu family will never escape. He will find a new host and become a new wronged soul to wake up."

Qin Bufei crouched down and cautiously looked around.

Deep within the courtyard, one by one, the extinguished lamps lit up again, like countless eyes opening in the darkness.

A new round of games is about to begin.

The world of ghost stories never stops; it is forever hungry, forever waiting for the next batch of prey.

"A new person is coming in..."

As a seasoned player, Qin Bufei had seen this scene before, so he withdrew his gaze and prepared to turn around and greet Xia Xiaoqin.

But Xia Xiaoqin was nervously groping for something.

"Lu Yang?"

In the darkness, the girl raised her hand and noticed that the skin her fingertips touched was rapidly losing temperature.

The man's chest, which had just been slightly warm, was now as cold as a stone pulled from the bottom of a well.

wrong.

Even if you were stabbed, it's impossible for you to lose body temperature so quickly.

Xia Xiaoqin's fingers unconsciously reached upwards, and just as they brushed past Lu Yang's shoulder, she touched a piece of cool and smooth silk.

She knew that touch all too well—it was her wedding dress, the one she had personally untied on her wedding night.

"What happened... how could this happen?"

Xia Xiaoqin's voice carried a hint of panic.

When Qin Bufei turned around and saw the scene before him, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The clothes on the man who had fallen into Xia Xiaoqin's arms were changing in a strange way.

The blood-stained clothes became as red as new, and the outline of the phoenix coronet and wedding gown emerged from the darkness.

"elder sister."

Qin Bufei's voice suddenly became extremely serious.

"Get away from him quickly."

But Xia Xiaoqin did not let go.

She looked up, her empty eyes fixed on Qin Bufei: "What's going on? Qin Bufei, what's happening? Lu Yang's clothes have changed!"

Qin Bufei fell silent.

He looked down at the suicide note he was clutching in his hand, his gaze lingering on the last line.

None of us can escape.

"...So it's true." The boy's voice was very soft, almost like he was talking to himself. "I'd heard other high-level players mention this before, but I never took it seriously."

"That advanced player told me that he personally witnessed a failed pro player become part of the ghost story world."

"She became an NPC."

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned: "Qin Bufei, what are you talking about?"

But Qin Bufei sighed again.

"Sister, I'm telling the truth. Some players who fail are absorbed by the ghost world and become part of the dungeon. That's why some dungeon NPCs are so strong. They're not ordinary ghosts at all. They're players who died in the dungeon and became one. It's a cycle."

As he spoke, Qin Bufei raised the suicide note in his hand and read the words aloud.

"And the last clue in the suicide note reads—Who will become the new me? And who will I become?"

"So let him go, sister."

"He's going to turn into a monster."

"In this mansion, every second young master of the Lu family was probably a player who died and became a player. Now, it's his turn to become a new NPC."
