When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Seeing that Su Ming had successfully survived another ordeal unscathed,

The bigwigs of the Dragon Kingdom's Bureau of Strange Tales also breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, they were also quite frightened by the turbulent and unpredictable situation.

In contrast, the leaders of other countries were undoubtedly somewhat disappointed, clearly not seeing the results they wanted.

.....

The world of ghost stories.

"It's getting more and more interesting!"

Su Ming's eyes were deep and dark as he kept recalling his mother's strange behavior, as if he had noticed something interesting.

It seems the world of ghost stories is much deeper than he imagined!

Suddenly, the paper in my pocket warmed slightly, and the black graffiti under the ten rules vanished without a trace, replaced by two new rules.

[Rule Eleven: Your family has noticed something unusual about you, and your peaceful life may be heading in an uncertain direction. However, as family members, they will not have any ill intentions towards you. Please stay home and observe the situation.]

[Rule Twelve: Escape! Escape now! Get out of your home before dawn, or something unbearable will happen.]

The two newly emerged rules are extremely contradictory, as if they contain some kind of trap.

To stay or to run away!

According to the brief description of Rule Eleven, if you leave the house, unpredictable changes may occur in your home. Whether it will be good or bad is impossible to determine. It is said that you should wait and see, but it is the same as leaving the house to wait for death. Your life and death are not in your own hands.

Rule Twelve, however, is even more direct, practically stating that staying means certain death and that one must flee the house as soon as possible.

It was already midnight.

There were only five or six hours left until dawn.

For the chosen ones, if they want to escape, this is probably all the time they have left!

At this moment, Fujiki Mema, Jason, and Lefster, the three chosen ones, also received the new rules, and their expressions immediately changed, as they fell into a dilemma.

Outsiders, seeing the world of supernatural tales change so rapidly,

The international community was immediately plunged into heated discussions.

Bald Eagle Empire.

"It seems the Ghost Stories world has entered its final stage. Whether it lives or dies depends on the chosen one's next choice. According to the think tank's analysis, for Jason, the best option right now is to flee his home!"

"Given his current condition, if he stays at home, he will be powerless to resist if anything goes wrong. We must be wary of the example of Fujiki Umema. The Chosen One of Sakura Country is now under tight control and it is impossible for him to leave. However, compared to him, Jason at least still has some mobility."

"Judging from the previous situation, the family has already become suspicious of Jason's existence, and I'm afraid they're about to take some big action."

"It's a pity that the three reminder opportunities were used up prematurely, otherwise we could have tried to communicate with Jason."

"As an elite member of my Bald Eagle Empire, Jason must know what choice to make."

After intense internal discussions, the top brass of the Bald Eagle Empire...

They clearly believed that choosing rule twelve was a safer option.

In contrast, staying at home and waiting to see what happens is truly courting death!

Unlike the Bald Eagle Empire,

The higher-ups in Japan have given up entirely and have lost all interest in discussion.

Given Fujiki Umema's current state of disability—with all four limbs severed—he's practically a human stick, struggling even to turn over. Letting him run away? It would be better to let him commit suicide.

In this situation, what other options does he have besides staying at home and observing the situation?

.....

The Ice Bear Empire.

As one of the world's leading superpowers,

This country has always been known worldwide for its tough and assertive style.

"Given Lefster's past personality, he'll probably choose Rule Twelve and won't stay home to wait and see."

"As an elite warrior of the Ice Bear Empire, his judgment of danger far surpasses that of ordinary people; we must trust him!"

"What choice will the Chinese make? They should still have two more opportunities to contact the Chosen Ones?"

"I don't know. Although our people have started making clandestine contact with the Dragon Kingdom, it's not an open collaboration yet. Even if the Dragon Kingdom has something on their mind, they won't tell us directly."

"The Dragon Kingdom is probably about to rise. This country always has heroes who can turn the tide in the most dangerous times."

"If the Dragon Kingdom wins this Ghost Story World event, then the cooperation will be officially on the table. We won't need to worry too much about the Bald Eagle Empire anymore. They can't even suppress the Dragon Kingdom now, do they think they can suppress us?"

.....

Dragon Kingdom, Bureau of Strange Tales.

"Given the current situation, there's a very high probability that Rule Eleven is a trap. The AI ​​team is still more inclined to choose Rule Twelve: leave home before dawn."

Based on the strength Su Ming had previously demonstrated, he was able to handle any danger from the outside world with ease.

In contrast, the mysterious middle-aged couple is the real threat; if a fight broke out, Su Ming might not be their match.

"However, this is just a suggestion from our AI team. Given Su Ming's personality, even if we pass on our own suggestions, I'm afraid he won't care."

After a brief period of observation, the higher-ups and members of the Ghost Stories Bureau gained a general understanding of Su Ming's personality.

This is a guy who doesn't like to follow the rules. He does things as he pleases, without any restraint or taboos, and without considering the consequences.

Yet each time, he was able to easily turn danger into safety, eliminate crises, and overcome perilous situations, as if swords were dancing.

They had already warned about the situation outside the room and the tragic fates of the other chosen ones.

But Su Ming didn't care about anything else; he did whatever he wanted.

And it is precisely because of this that they understand,

Ultimately, the decision rests with Su Ming himself.

"Su Ming is a smart man. Everything he does seems absurd, but it is actually full of profound meaning. Even in the world of ghost stories, he understands better than us what choices to make."

Kui Ju, the highest-ranking official of the Bureau of Strange Tales, looked meaningfully at Su Ming, who remained motionless on the live stream, as if trying to see through his heart.

.....

What is Su Ming doing right now, and what choice will he make?

This answer is of great concern not only to the top leadership of China, but also to the top leadership of other countries overseas.

Even viewers from various countries began to discuss it, and some even started making bets on it privately.

Clearly, after a series of outrageous moves, Su Ming has garnered increasing attention from many people.

Whether you like him or hate him, you can't ignore his existence.

This level of popularity surpasses even the world's top superstars.

However, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Su Ming yawned, casually put away the papers, looked sleepy, rubbed his eyes, turned around and went to bed without any hesitation.

Whether he stays or leaves is none of his business; sleeping is more important.

Staying up late is bad for your health.
