When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

When a wanderer who has been roaming far away finally returns home with a dog on a leash, the impact is undoubtedly enormous.

"elder brother!"

Suddenly, the younger brother, who had been hiding in the corner scribbling and drawing in his notebook, let out an excited scream like a groundhog and rushed over on his short legs.

But halfway there, the excited little face seemed to realize that its actions were a bit too unreserved and did not fit its proud image. So it changed its mind about clinging to the big dog's leg, turned around, and instantly pounced on the big yellow dog that was swaggering around looking at its new home.

For a moment, the man and the dog stared at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward.

"Su Ming, you've lost weight again!"

The "mother" who was cooking also stopped cooking, looked at her eldest son who had lost even more weight, and then looked at the few ribs and a bunch of ingredients in the kitchen, feeling that it was a bit too "simple".

Although Su Ming was much stronger than when they first met, in "Mom's" eyes he still looked "malnourished" and needed to be nourished.

There's a kind of maternal love that makes you look thinner no matter how you look at it.

In his mother's eyes, a burly man weighing over 200 pounds probably looked no different from a skinny monkey...

"Mom" grabbed a kitchen knife, not even having time to take off her blood-stained apron.

"I'm going to borrow something from next door."

The middle-aged man sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper, lowered it slightly and glanced at the familiar figure approaching.

"Dad, I'm home!"

"Yes, it's good to see you back!"

The taciturn middle-aged man responded with a sound of agreement, then turned his gaze back to the newspaper in his hand, appearing quite calm.

However, from his slightly hurried, rustling movements as he flipped through the newspaper, it was clear that he was not as calm as one might imagine.

Su Ming smiled, not caring, and understood his personality. He sat down on the sofa next to him and turned to look at the person and dog fighting on the ground.

The younger brother, who is about the same size and height as the big yellow dog standing upright, is now fighting one-on-one, fairly and justly, with spittle flying between them.

You choke me, I'll knock your head off!

The "parent" standing by remained remarkably calm as these two idiots got into a fight.

Clearly, this is not the first time.

Suddenly, a strange scream from next door caught Su Ming's attention.

Well, it seems Mom has good relationships with her neighbors!

Why are you shouting so enthusiastically?

The door opened, and Mom walked in carrying a large black plastic bag. The strong smell of blood filled the air, and it didn't dissipate a little until she brought it to the kitchen.

"Dinner will be ready in a little while!"

Perhaps sensing Su Ming's gaze, his mother gave him a "kind" smile.

However, the sight of those dark eyes and the blood-stained cleaver in his hand was somewhat unsettling.

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"elder brother..."

"You won?!"

Su Ming looked at his younger brother, a brat with messy hair, who had appeared beside him at some point. He was holding a notebook in his hand.

As for the silly dog? This guy was holding a brand new limited edition Big Wave magazine and grinning like an idiot, completely unconcerned about the few little paw prints on his body.

For the younger brother, dealing with a silly dog ​​is a piece of cake. The moment he pulled out the magazine, he knew that this was the dog's limit.

Sure enough, the brave and fearless dog collapsed the moment it saw the limited edition magazine, and was trampled on several times...

Su Ming stretched out his broad palm and smoothed the messy hair of his younger brother, but his gaze was drawn to the strange notebook.

"A new toy? Let me see it!"

The younger brother, however, did not refuse and handed it over directly. But when Su Ming opened the notebook, his expression suddenly changed, as if he realized something bad.

He instinctively tried to snatch the notebook back, but he was too slow; Su Ming had already opened it first.

On the opened notebook, a huge pig's head was drawn, and someone's name was engraved on it...

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

.....

Time flies, and seven days passed quickly.

Amidst the reluctant gazes of his family, Su Ming and the silly dog's figures gradually faded away.

Although Su Ming had mentioned his departure time before he arrived, no one expected that time would pass so quickly.

The time spent with family can feel both very long and very short...

As he left, Su Ming looked at the family of three in front of him and said with a smile:

"I'll come back often..."

.....

Qingshan Mental Hospital.

The figures of the man and the dog returned to the gate.

It was still night, and the surroundings remained exceptionally quiet.

Su Ming glanced at the watch he was wearing.

【11:59:58】

He went in at just 11:59:57.

It may seem like you've spent seven days in the ghost story instance, but in the real world, only a second has passed.

The big yellow dog carrying a small package looked at its "owner" with some confusion.

The owner didn't even snatch the strange notebook from his younger brother...

My master is just too... kind...

.....

The land of cherry blossoms.

In a magnificent palace, there lay a lifeless corpse.

The cloaked "murderer" expressionlessly removed the bone ring from the corpse's hand, then turned and left.

Soon, the body lying in a pool of blood was discovered by the cleaning maid, which immediately caused a series of screams.

.....

The next day.

A shocking news story instantly swept the globe.

Inuno-kun, the chosen one of the Cherry Blossom Country, is dead!

Moreover, he died in the palace residence specially provided for him by the Kingdom of Sakura!

Judging from the scene, the perpetrator killed Inuno-kun by surprise, stole the [Cursed Bone Ring], a legendary item, and easily escaped from the protective defenses set up by the Sakura Kingdom...

This incident immediately caused a huge uproar.

The only other chosen ones who could kill Inuno-kun, this chosen one, so easily are probably other chosen ones...

Immediately, the other chosen ones from various countries became the prime suspects...

Now that Inuya-kun is dead, the land of Sakura is like a mad dog that has lost its father, lashing out and biting people indiscriminately, vowing to find the murderer...

Countries around the world immediately became serious about this matter.

The Chosen Ones Act has only been passed for a short time, yet such a "tragedy" has already occurred. This is simply putting the faces of countries around the world to the ground.

After several major powers issued statements and strongly condemned the attack, they quickly sought out their own chosen ones to inquire about the situation and see if it was their own people who were responsible...

Soon, the matter escalated, but no one admitted to it, and no clues were found, making it impossible to verify the facts.

But the matter still needs to be investigated, because those who break the rules must be punished.

Otherwise, if one person dies today and another dies tomorrow, then nobody can play anymore.

The severity of this incident far surpasses that of the previous kidnapping of Aaron's two children by the Bald Eagle Empire.

They were just trying to steal the props from the ghost stories; at least they're still alive.

But now, it's a life-or-death struggle!

Those who violate the rules must die!

Otherwise, no one can get a good night's sleep!

Meanwhile, Xu Miao and his wife, who live in Qingshan City, were so frightened by the news that they moved overnight.

They were not the murderers, but they knew the murderer's identity and purpose.

"That guy Kuki has gone mad, daring to do something so outrageous..."

"I just received news that his wife's condition has worsened, and she probably doesn't have many days left to live. This guy is probably going to take a gamble..."

"Things have gotten complicated..."

The dead tree was the previous chosen one of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

Like Xu Miao and his wife, Kumu did not accept His invitation when the previous edition of the Rules of the Strange Tales ended, but stayed in the real world.

The reason was that he had to take care of his wife, whom he had raised since childhood, but who was suffering from a terminal illness...

For years, Kuki, the former chosen one of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, has been living in seclusion in a remote village, spending his days with his wife...

He paid no attention to anything that happened in Japan.

Now, his wife's condition has worsened, and with only a few days left to live, Kumu finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Previously, Xu Miao and his wife had intentionally concealed some things from Su Ming.

The Chosen One status can be replaced!

If the former Chosen One refuses His invitation, He will lose the status of "Chosen One" and will be unable to reveal his strange powers to outsiders.

However, this is not absolute!

If a new round of rule-based myths appears, the former chosen ones can take over their positions and rejoin the rule-based myth game by killing the new chosen ones.

However, as a price, the "Chosen One" who has reclaimed his identity will be unable to refuse His invitation!

Kuki, the former chosen one of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, has a very clear goal: he is unwilling to accept the reality of his wife's death and wants to try his luck in the [Strange Tales Space]...

And so, Inuno-kun became a victim of his blade.

As for why Xu Miao and his wife hadn't told Su Ming about this before?

Some things, once spoken, will only bring trouble upon yourself and plant a time bomb for yourself!
