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

"It's time to get up, Xiaoqin."

Upon hearing the voice, Xia Xiaoqin jolted awake and opened her eyes in disbelief.

The moment she opened her eyes, the world flooded into her vision.

The colorless, black-and-white and gray scene unfolded before her eyes like an old movie, suddenly becoming clear and bright.

In the dim light, she could clearly see that she was sitting in a subway seat, and the glass window of the subway car reflected the dark tracks outside, as well as her figure—and the man next to her.

? !

Xia Xiaoqin suddenly turned her head to look at the man who had just lent her his shoulder to sleep.

Lu Yang was looking down at her; her face was still the same as he remembered, her deep features outlined clearly by the black and white light and shadow.

"Lu Yang..."

In an instant, Xia Xiaoqin's voice choked in her throat.

She raised her hand, trembling, and touched the man's face, feeling the warmth of a living person. Suddenly, she stood up, opened her arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Lu Yang, we've arrived in heaven, haven't we?"

Xia Xiaoqin's muffled voice was buried in the man's neck, tinged with sobs.

"That's why I can see you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yang gently raised his large and slender hand and stroked her hair.

A deep, magnetic voice rang out from above.

"Xiaoqin, open your eyes."

"We are still living in hell."

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned.

The next second, a cold system pop-up appeared in front of her.

【drop! 】

[Congratulations to players "Xia Xiaoqin" and "Lu Yang" for returning to the world of ghost stories!]

[This instance: Happiness Supermarket]

[Danger Level: A]

[Instance Background: Want happiness? Come to our supermarket and buy your own happiness!]

[Game Mission: Find Happiness!]

Number of players participating: 100

Xia Xiaoqin's eyes widened, her newly restored eyes filled with disbelief.

"We're still alive? How is that possible—"

She raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes; her five fingers were clearly visible in the black and white light and shadow.

"Wait, my eyes... I can see again! What's going on? Weren't we dead? How did we end up in a new instance?!"

The sudden turn of events left Xia Xiaoqin in disbelief.

She clearly remembered that she was already dead!

Now, not only is he perfectly fine, but his vision has also recovered. Although he has become completely colorblind, it's like a miracle.

"You must be dreaming, Lu Yang. I'm definitely dreaming."

Before she could finish speaking, a large and slender hand grasped hers.

Lu Yang held Xia Xiaoqin's hand in his palm, their fingers intertwined tightly, the warmth of his palm comforting the girl's cool little hand.

"Xiaoqin, calm down and listen to me. When I woke up in the dungeon, I saw you lying not far from me, barely alive."

"I was dying too, so I crawled over and sent you a teammate request. I wanted to die with you in this way, but the system suddenly notified us that we had cleared the dungeon. It was like a miracle... and before we reached the next dungeon, it automatically healed our bodies and kept us alive."

Xia Xiaoqin was stunned.

In a flash, a name popped into her mind.

It is Qin Bufei.

—It seems he ultimately didn't end up cutting ties with her teammates.

So when Lu Yang woke up by a twist of fate, the two of them, as teammates, were considered to have successfully completed the mission because they had gathered all the clues, and that's how they survived!

"Lu Yang, we...we really survived!"

The joy of surviving the ordeal surged up like a tide, making Xia Xiaoqin laugh and cry at the same time.

She really did survive with Lu Yang!

Xia Xiaoqin's eyes were red, but just as she was about to say something, the entire subway suddenly shook violently.

Rumbling--

With a loud bang, the pale fluorescent lights above the subway emitted a crackling electrical sound and flickered as if they had malfunctioned.

Immediately afterward, the dark tunnel outside the car window rushed past, with a few dim signal lights flashing by occasionally, like blood-red eyes lurking in the darkness.

"W-what's going on...? Wasn't the system notification just now supposed to be for our instance, Happiness Supermarket?"

"This is the subway, it has absolutely nothing to do with the dungeon!"

Xia Xiaoqin gripped Lu Yang's hand tightly.

Inside the dark and pale carriage, a voice broadcast suddenly came on.

A sweet, almost eerie electronic female voice blared from the overhead loudspeaker: "Welcome aboard the Happiness Supermarket Special Train. This train's final destination is Death. Please disembark at the correct location. Happy shopping!"

What? Death?

Having had one gaming experience before, Xia Xiaoqin turned to look at Lu Yang.

But the man's gaze fell on the electronic platform display above the carriage, which was flashing a faint green light, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaoqin, look at the travel schedule."

Xia Xiaoqin followed his gaze.

In the black and white world, the electronic screen was particularly glaring, with the names of eighteen stations densely arranged on it.

—Head Station, Heart Station, Memorial Station, Murderer Station... Each name is more bizarre than the last, and they have no connection whatsoever.

But none of these eighteen stations are "Happiness Supermarket".

"What's going on with this instance? Where are the rules?"

Xia Xiaoqin looked around but couldn't find any notes with a pattern.

At that moment, a red dot on the electronic screen was flashing continuously below the "head station".

Next stop, Head Station.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the Brain Station. Passengers heading to the Brain Station, please prepare to disembark from the left-hand door in turn. Please be mindful of the gap between the train and the platform when disembarking."

Xia Xiaoqin's heart sank suddenly.

"This platform schedule is wrong, Lu Yang," she whispered. "There's no Happiness Supermarket here, and the final stop is Death. Under these circumstances, we shouldn't act rashly..."

Before the words were finished, the subway emitted a sharp screech of brakes.

laugh--

The car door opened.

A chilly blast of air rushed in from outside the door, carrying an indescribable, metallic smell.

The platform was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly except for a few pale white indicator lights that appeared and disappeared in the fog.

The players in the carriage looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What...what do we do?"

In the corner, a young man wearing glasses stood up.

His face was deathly pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his hands were nervously clutching the hem of his clothes. He seemed to be a newbie, entering the dungeon for the first time.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping across the carriage before finally settling on the open door.

"Um...is anyone thinking of getting off to check?" His voice trembled. "The announcement just said this train is heading towards death. We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

No one spoke in the carriage.

Xia Xiaoqin hesitated for a moment, then decided to step forward and tell him not to act rashly.

However, at that moment, Lu Yang suddenly raised his hand.

He extended his index finger and gently placed it in front of his lips.

Lie.
