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

"What's wrong?" Xia Xiaoqin asked in a low voice, looking at Lu Yang.

At this moment, the man's exceptionally handsome profile had a slight upturn at the corners of his lips, a half-smile, as if some good show was about to begin.

His gaze, filled with interest, passed over Xia Xiaoqin and landed on a certain spot in the corner of the carriage. Then, he subtly tilted his chin in that direction.

Xia Xiaoqin followed his gaze.

Three men and two women sat in the corner, all dressed in a disheveled manner, with incredibly fierce eyes, clearly veteran players who had experienced several dungeons.

They were whispering amongst themselves, their eyes fixed on the bespectacled man standing by the car door, a knowing smirk playing on their lips.

The next second, one of the five men, a burly bald man, stood up.

He strode toward the car door, his smile growing increasingly arrogant.

Upon seeing his tattoos, the bespectacled man nervously adjusted his glasses, his voice stammering.

"H-Hello... Is there... is there something you need?"

The burly man grinned.

The smile looked somewhat ferocious on his fleshy face.

"Brother, didn't you want to know what's out there? Why don't you go check it out for us?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly kicked the bespectacled man in the lower back.

"what!"

The bespectacled man screamed as he flew out of the train door and crashed heavily onto the platform. His glasses, which were perched on his nose, flew off and landed a few steps away.

He knelt on the ground in a panic, groping around with his hands until he finally found his glasses and hurriedly put them back on his nose.

"What are you doing?"

The young man wearing glasses was somewhat angry, as if he had never encountered such rudeness before.

The next second, his expression suddenly turned somewhat fearful.

As if sensing something, he cautiously touched his neck.

A thin red line was slowly seeping blood.

"Why?"

The man paused, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

The next second, he slowly raised his head and opened his mouth as if to call for help.

"Help, help me—my neck feels..."

Boom!

The man's head slipped off his neck and rolled to the edge of the platform.

The image of someone pleading for help lingered on their face; their mouth opened and closed, but no sound could be uttered.

Immediately, screams erupted from the other passengers in the subway car.

"Aaaaaah!!"

"He's dead! He's dead!"

Several newcomers were so frightened that they slumped in their seats, and some even covered their mouths and gagged.

Xia Xiaoqin's fingers gripped Lu Yang's hand tightly. In the black and white world, the blood gushing from the severed head was a thick, dark gray, slowly seeping into the cracks of the platform tiles.

A year later, she saw this world in such a bloody way.

Looking at the three colors of black, white, and gray, Xia Xiaoqin almost couldn't help but vomit, her heart pounding.

beep-

The cold, metallic car door alarm went off.

The subway started moving again, its wheels making a dull rumble as they rolled over the tracks.

The headless corpse on the platform, along with the severed head, was quickly left behind in the darkness and disappeared from sight.

A brief silence fell over the carriage.

The only sounds were the buzzing of the overhead lights and the suppressed sobs of a few players.

However, such scenes seem to be commonplace for veteran players.

In the corner, the burly man's companion was even nonchalantly chewing bubble gum.

"These people... these people..."

Xia Xiaoqin clenched her fists in anger.

In that instant, the burly man turned around.

His gaze swept across several rows of seats and landed on Xia Xiaoqin. The moment their eyes met, a mocking smile remained on his lips.

"Feed." The burly man clicked his tongue. "You're a newbie too, right?"

Xia Xiaoqin's heart tightened, and she subconsciously issued a warning.

"Don't come any closer."

But her warnings had no deterrent effect.

Another woman with short hair stood up from the corner and walked slowly to the burly man, twirling a switchblade between her fingers, the blade gleaming coldly in the pale light.

"New guy, watch your mouth."

The woman looked down at Xia Xiaoqin with a hint of impatience in her voice.

"We're veteran players, we've been through three B-rank dungeons and one A-rank dungeon. If you know what's good for you, don't resist. Our Brother Leopard just wants you to do the other players a favor and help them out."

As she spoke, she bent down, blew pink bubble gum, and popped the bubble in front of Xia Xiaoqin with a snap.

"Anyway, a newcomer like you is bound to die, so you might as well scout ahead for us. That would be a worthwhile death, wouldn't it?"

Despite witnessing such a terrifying scene, Xia Xiaoqin still looked at the other person without fear, her slender figure standing ramrod straight.

"On what grounds?"

Upon hearing this, Leopard looked around, grinned, and revealed two rows of yellow teeth.

"On what grounds? Who do you think you are to dare ask what grounds you have? Let me make this clear from the start: no one here disagrees with what Brother Leopard has to say!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Leopard raised his arm high in the air.

"Listen up, everyone—next stop, I'm choosing this woman to be the unlucky one, to scout things out for you all. Anyone who disagrees, step forward now!"

The carriage was deathly silent.

The newlyweds, who had been sobbing, all lowered their heads, their faces pale, and dared not look in that direction for even a second.

Several people who appeared to have experienced other instances simply looked away indifferently, as if none of this concerned them.

So, Brother Leopard laughed even more unrestrainedly.

"It seems no one has any objections, so it's settled then!"

beep - beep -

The alarm for closing the car doors sounded again.

On the electronic screen, the red dot jumped below the "Head Station" and began to flash continuously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the Head Station. Passengers heading to the Head Station, please disembark from the left-hand door in order."

With a hoarse sound, the car door opened.

Leopard Brother turned his neck and stretched his shoulders, his muscles bulging under his tight T-shirt.

Immediately, he stretched out his thick, tattooed arm, fingers spread, and grabbed at Xia Xiaoqin's collar.

"Come on, little sister!"

But the next second, Leopard Brother's smile froze on his face.

His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he dared not move for a long time.

Because he suddenly saw an extremely tall figure.

The tall and slender figure slowly unfolded, casting a shadow that enveloped Leopard Brother entirely.

"W-Where did you come from?!"

Leopard Brother stared wide-eyed at the man beside Xia Xiaoqin in disbelief.

Just now, he saw that only the girl was sitting in the seat!

When did a man appear beside her?!

But before he could utter a second word, another sharp sound rang out in the carriage.

Leopard Bro's wrist is broken.

The white bone fragments pierced his skin, and fresh blood dripped down between Lu Yang's fingers.

"On what grounds?"

Lu Yang chuckled softly, his sharp, handsome, and aggressive face masked by a nonchalant laziness.

"Just me."
