When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

The world of ghost stories.

Su Ming was unaware that the outside world was already in an uproar because of his existence.

Intelligence information about him was presented to high-ranking officials in various countries.

Clearly, his almost monstrous performance left a deep impression on countless people, who began to want to know about his past and the origin of his skills.

Of course, for Su Ming, this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Aside from the initial enhancement of his physical attributes by the Crimson Moonlight, most of his skills, including his near-terrifying attack speed and his ability to wield the black serrated dagger with flair, were indeed learned at the Green Mountain Mental Hospital.

The reason he was able to stay there for so long without leaving was because there were many talented people there, all of whom were eloquent and highly skilled, and he couldn't bear to leave.

Because he was admitted as a child, his circumstances were unique, resulting in relatively few restrictions on his movements, allowing him to freely move between the wards.

Even the most secretive intensive care wards where prisoners are held can be easily entered.

Inside, there was a mad old man who was always rambling on and on, and who liked to dress neatly and cleanly. It was said that in his youth, he had fooled many people, and even many wealthy and powerful people treated him as an honored guest. Then, for some unknown reason, one day he suddenly went mad and was rushed in...

There was a slovenly old man who boasted that he was the last descendant of a thief's clan. It was said that he had done too many terrible things in his youth, which led to his being destined to have no descendants. All his bloodline descendants had died mysteriously over the years, leaving him all alone, and he eventually went insane...

There are also actors who get so into character that they go insane on set, killing their entire family, and are ultimately brought in for treatment...

.....

He'd been there for so many years, he'd gotten to know almost every patient in the mental hospital.

Perhaps it was the innate photographic memory of time travelers that allowed them to quickly master all the skills they possessed, and even surpass their predecessors.

Many of the older, eccentric characters inside called him a little monster...

If the top powers in the world really wanted to investigate this, they could easily find out; it would just take a little time.

Of course, the fact that he's a time traveler is true.

They'll probably investigate until they die and still not find out.

Compared to those trivial matters,

Su Ming was more interested in the black, serrated dagger that seemed to flutter like a butterfly between his fingers.

"Interesting. This dagger is indeed rather strange; it must be some kind of artifact or weapon from a ghost story!"

So-called ghost story props are special products hidden in the world of ghost stories. They have various special effects and are extremely difficult to obtain.

Previously, the chosen ones of the Bald Eagle Empire had obtained a powerful (one-time use) item that could expel a strangely polluted city.

The seemingly unremarkable black serrated dagger in his hand was clearly some kind of special ghost story prop.

He could clearly sense that the black, serrated dagger was conveying to him a greedy desire for flesh and blood.

This intense greed was so strong that it echoed in his ears like a whisper from the abyss, enough to drive an ordinary person into a state of madness, causing them to subconsciously raise a dagger and cut off their own head.

Clearly, this jet-black serrated dagger did not want Su Ming to easily obtain it, but rather wanted to return it to its owner.

However, these eerie whispers had little effect on Su Ming; on the contrary, they were extremely attractive to the other person inside him.

Su Ming frowned slightly, and a red light gradually appeared deep in his pupils, as if something was beginning to stir inexplicably and was about to emerge.

A chilling, eerie aura and an inexplicable sense of intimidation gradually emanated from him.

The whispers of the abyss that had been echoing in my ears vanished in an instant.

That greedy desire also vanished in an instant.

The black, serrated dagger in his hand instantly became docile.

"Go back!"

A silent roar resounded!

The gradually intensifying red light in Su Ming's eyes was instantly suppressed, and his angry roar, tinged with resentment, fell silent.

His eyes regained their previous clarity and transparency, as if nothing had happened.

Previously, people at Aoyama Mental Hospital believed that he had symptoms of severe paranoia and dissociative identity disorder.

However, Su Ming knew he wasn't sick. There was indeed another entity within him, which had appeared after he transmigrated to this world.

"Looks like that guy really likes you!"

Su Ming looked at the black serrated dagger that had fallen silent in his hand, a dark glint appearing in his eyes. He then put it into his sleeve and tucked it into his arm, so that from the outside, there was no trace of it.

.....

Bald Eagle Empire.

"Are those people in the intelligence department all useless? How could they have gotten such a tiny bit of information?!"

"Please calm down, Your Excellency. Due to the blockade imposed by the Dragon Kingdom, we are unable to obtain more intelligence as quickly as possible. However, our people have already begun their operations and will soon have detailed information about that madman."

......

The land of cherry blossoms.

"Damn it! Those damned Chinese dare to tell us to eat shit? What do they take us for?!"

"And those useless people lurking in China, they can't even do a good job of investigating a mental patient. It's a waste of the cultivation of Japan."

"There's nothing we can do. The Chinese have started blocking information about Su Ming, so it's very difficult for them to obtain it even if they want to."

"Those despicable Chinese people, we'll settle this score with them sooner or later..."

......

Dragon Kingdom, Bureau of Strange Tales.

"It is now certain that the difficulty of this ghost story world is far more terrifying than the previous ones, practically unsolvable. Even powerful nations like the Bald Eagle Empire, which have always been ahead of China, have suffered heavy losses!"

"Previously, the Bald Eagle Empire, due to its own strength, gathered a large number of countries to follow it as vassals, forming a group of interests to suppress the Dragon Kingdom. Now, with the failure of the Bald Eagle Empire's chosen ones, this group of interests has begun to show cracks."

"Just now, several small countries have subtly expressed their desire for cooperation with China, hoping to stand together with China through thick and thin..."

With Su Ming's extraordinary performance in the world of supernatural tales, the once-dominant Dragon Kingdom instantly shone brightly once more.

Many who had previously wavered on the sidelines have finally begun to side with China.

Some countries that had previously maintained neutrality have also begun to have ambiguous relations with China.

All of this is naturally inseparable from Su Ming, this outlier!

At this moment, even the eyes of various countries are gradually focusing on Su Ming, wanting to figure out the secrets that he may be hiding.

All information related to Su Ming has been classified as a top secret in the Dragon Kingdom and is strictly confidential, not to be leaked.

At this moment, Director Kui, the highest leader of the Bureau of Strange Tales, is flipping through a highly detailed confidential document.

"An orphan, abducted by human traffickers, and later sold at a high price to a couple. A few years later, the couple who adopted him died mysteriously. In order to fight for the couple's inheritance, relatives forcibly sent the eight-year-old adopted son to a mental hospital..."

"After that, those relatives who received the inheritance began to die unexpectedly one after another..."

.....

in the living room,

A burly, middle-aged man who looked like he exercised regularly sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading a newspaper, seemingly oblivious to everything happening around him.

Even the playful fight between Su Ming and the mischievous child hadn't caught his attention.

Clearly, the head of the household is a quiet and reserved person who is not good at expressing himself and rarely gets involved in family matters, which are mostly handled by his mother.

When Su Ming entered the living room, he could clearly sense a subtle gaze upon him.

The source was a middle-aged man hidden behind the newspaper.

This subtle gaze might go unnoticed by an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, it was perfectly clear to Su Ming, who was extremely sensitive to all prying eyes.

Clearly, this seemingly taciturn, inarticulate, and unconcerned father is not as simple as one might imagine.

Having already met his unruly younger brother and his eerie, unsettling mother, how could Su Ming possibly miss the head of the family right in front of him?

Keep in mind, this is the only family member directly flagged as potentially dangerous!

Rule Four: Your father's love for you is genuine, but it's mixed with other things. Please don't be alone with him when no one else is around, and please keep a certain distance.
