When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Qingshan City.

At that moment, Xu Miao and his wife also saw the mysterious city that floated up from the depths of the sea through a global live broadcast.

This city is so vast that it ranks among the top ten cities in the Dragon Kingdom, and its population is among the top five in the country, making it a truly large city.

"Yuyang City..."

Xu Miao stared at the satellite TV in front of him, a complex expression on his face, while his wife beside him had a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

Yuyang City was once one of the top ten major cities in the Dragon Kingdom.

However, it was in the previous edition of the "Rules of the Past" that it fell victim to.

With the selection of the previous Chosen One, all the strange tales about the rules were erased from existence.

Those cities that fell were naturally affected by the power of the strange and unpredictable rules, and completely disappeared into the long history of the Dragon Kingdom.

Apart from the very few chosen ones who chose to stay, it's likely that no one remembers these things anymore...

This kind of thing isn't unique to China; it's happened in countries all over the world...

Even Xu Miao and his wife couldn't know how many cities in the Dragon Kingdom had disappeared throughout its long history.

After all, the exact time when these strange rule-based tales emerged is already a difficult question to pinpoint...

Perhaps in the dark, sunless depths of the ocean, there lie bustling cities trapped beneath the surface, countless people imprisoned, unable to escape...

......

The emergence of that mysterious city unsurprisingly caused a huge stir in countries around the world, attracting the attention of countless important figures.

Clearly, this sudden situation has begun to prompt many intelligent people to ponder deeply, and they have gradually deduced some of the secrets behind the strange rules and legends.

In the end, the mysterious city of Yuyang, which floated up from the depths of the sea and connected to the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, returned to the embrace of the Dragon Kingdom.

The higher-ups from the Bureau of Ghost Stories held several emergency meetings in response.

During this period, the Kui Bureau also sent people to Qingshan Mental Hospital to inquire about Su Ming's personal opinion.

......

......

Aoyama Mental Hospital

Intensive care unit.

"In this ghost story instance, His attitude was somewhat ambiguous. He tried to use a carrot-and-stick approach, but the stick was raised only to fall lightly..."

"What Xu Miao said is probably true. When the next ghost story instance comes, I should receive an invitation from Him. Once I accept, I probably won't be able to come back..."

"This ticket is a sweet treat and compensation from Him, allowing me to go back and visit a certain instance before leaving..."

In the dimly lit room, Su Ming sat on the sofa, looking at the withered old man in the rocking wooden chair in front of him, and talked to himself about what he had seen and heard in the last ghost story instance.

The silly dog ​​on the ground tilted its head, stuck out its tongue, lay on its back, pretending to be dead, its sly little eyes constantly darting between its owner on the sofa and the empty wooden chair.

Is the owner having another episode?

He's started talking to himself again!

This wasn't the first time the dog had seen this scene, so it remained quite calm and even scratched its belly.

The dog is very accepting of the fact that its owner has a mental illness; it's used to it and it doesn't affect its love for its owner at all.

"I plan to use my train ticket tonight and go back home. I'll tell you about my journey back when I get back."

Su Ming, whose face was obscured by shadow, stood up, kicked the dog on the ground that was panting and pretending to be dead, and then left the room together.

With the departure of the man and the dog, the room fell silent once more.

The swaying wooden chair was empty.

The old man's black and white photograph, placed on the table, trembled slightly.

"Su...Ming..."

"Su...Ming..."

"You...are...not...him..."

.....

night.

Su Ming looked at the blank space in the middle of the strange ticket in his hand, picked up a pen, and wrote down his destination without hesitation.

hiss--

The strange ticket in his hand suddenly burst into flames without a fire, wisps of white smoke rising and drifting forward.

Soon, the bustling street ahead suddenly fell silent, and a hazy white mist began to rise and envelop the area.

An old, green bus slowly emerged from the white fog, its two headlights flashing as if they might go out at any moment.

drop!

Bus No. 204 slowly came to a stop in front of Qingshan Mental Hospital.

Snapped!

The front door is open!

Su Ming got into the car with the silly dog.

.....

The blood moon hangs in the sky.

Evil light spilled onto the ground.

A strange Rubik's Cube rotates continuously in mid-air, revealing a variety of complex changes.

Each cube is engraved with a maze pattern of strange lines.

At this moment, at the core of the Rubik's Cube, there is a cozy little house.

kitchen.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The sound of a cleaver falling repeatedly echoed as a woman wearing an apron busied herself with a cleaver.

No matter how hard the "ingredients" next to it were, they all appeared extremely fragile in front of that cleaver and were easily chopped open.

Soon, a rich aroma gradually wafted into the living room.

On the sofa in the living room, a square-faced, taciturn middle-aged man sat with his legs crossed, slowly flipping through an old newspaper.

In the corner, a kid dressed in new clothes was idly scribbling and drawing in a dark notebook.

This is none other than the family of three from "The Weird Family".

After Su Ming left, they left the city where they had lived and began looking for a new place to stay.

Soon, the family of three discovered a well-hidden maze-like space.

Then, the entrance to the maze was blown up, and the family of three rushed in, heading towards the location of the maze's master.

Unfortunately, the family of three appeared a little too late; if they had appeared a few seconds faster...

That way, I might just run into a guy walking his dog.

The reason they were a few seconds slower was, of course, because some otaku had gone mad and used the "notebook," summoning a whole bunch of monsters...

And so, the "culprit" who caused the family to not see each other suffered a lot.

I bet even the grass on the grave mound is dry...

Oh, He has no grave; He has been destroyed by humane means.

And that notebook with the ability to "create" has become a new toy for the mischievous kids.

Ultimately, after some consideration, the family of three decided to stay there.

However, due to certain factors, the family of three is not very enthusiastic about finding a new home at the moment.

Ding Dong!

The doorbell was suddenly rang.

The woman cooking in the kitchen paused, her cleaver momentarily gone.

The middle-aged man who was reading the newspaper in the living room also put down his newspaper.

The mischievous child, who was scribbling in his notebook, paused for a moment and looked towards the door.

Click!

The door was pushed open.

A familiar figure walked in, as if returning to their own home, casually tossing their shoes into the entryway and changing into a brand new pair of slippers.

The dog, its tail swirling in the air, slammed the door shut behind it with a slam, letting out a howl as it did so.

"Awooo!!!"

"I'm back!"
