Rules of the Strange: I Can See Through All the Weird

Qi Tong looked away and noticed that everyone had a book in front of them. Qi Tong also looked at the book on his own table.

It's the Analects. Qi Tong subconsciously scratched her head. Could this dungeon be for them to study?

So far, nothing strange has happened, and even with players making such a ruckus in the library, no death conditions have been triggered. Is it really that safe?

[OMG, is the girl on the right a new streamer? She's so pretty!]

[She must be a newbie. I checked her livestream, and she only had a basic audience of about 2,000.]

[Little Ningning, I'm here! Why do you still look so cold today? Who made us unhappy?!] (Player *** sent 10 rockets)

[Upstairs, can I beg you on my knees to watch my live stream?]

[Two beautiful women together are such a feast for the eyes!]

[Why hasn't this dungeon faced any challenges yet? Has anyone run it?]

[My friend seems to have entered this instance. Before he died, he used a telepathic device to tell me something, and all I heard was the word "library." He went into the instance and never came out.]

[This is definitely not simple; the strange creature might unleash a massacre!]

……

Liu Weiyi finally recovered from her fear, and even her back was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

As she was fixing her hair, a groping hand landed on her shoulder.

Liu Weiyi looked up at the owner of the hand and saw a middle-aged man whose beer belly was still visible even in a high-end brand suit.

The man had almost no hair left on the top of his head, and he looked very successful. He was looking at her with a greasy smile.

"They don't want you, but I do. If you come with me, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury. I have a lot of items, and my brother is a member of the Third Dark Temple guild. You'll benefit greatly from following me."

Upon hearing the first few sentences, Liu Weiyi's face showed disdain, but after the man spoke the following words, her disdain was replaced by shyness. She lightly tapped the man's chest and said with a smile, "You're so annoying~~"

The man was clearly very receptive to this. He took the woman's soft, boneless hand and sat down next to her. The two of them were so intimate that they acted as if no one else was around, as if they were about to put on a live sex show in front of everyone.

However, the two clearly still had their senses and did not stage a scene.

Although the two spoke in hushed tones, everyone present was on edge, alert to any movement they made.

Qi Tong and Xu Ning, the two gossipers sitting at the back, had their eyes wide open. This time, they were so shocked by the spiciness that it was described as "eye-watering."

Qi Tong commented: "City people are really something else. They put a sea on their heads and their faces light up when they talk to people."

Xu Ning heard this and laughed inwardly, but her face only showed a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Qi Tong couldn't wait to gossip with her friends right now, and the first thing she had to say was, "Hey, let me tell you something."

Thinking of this, Qi Tong lowered her eyes and bowed her head.

Noticing that the girl next door's mood suddenly shifted from excitement to disappointment, Xu Ning had no choice but to turn her head to look over.

She looked very sad.

Xu Ning wanted to comfort her, but it was clear that she had never done this before. She clenched and unclenched her fists many times, preparing to do so, but then gave up each time.

Just as she was about to give up completely, Qi Tong suddenly lay down on the table, her small body trembling slightly, as if she were sobbing.

Xu Ning's heart sank again.

She is a very worrisome person, but she has become accustomed to not communicating with others, so she is afraid of dealing with people. She usually has a cold face. It's not that she is not interested in many things, but she just doesn't show it on her face.

Xu Ning was completely energized and determined to comfort Qi Tong. She tiptoed to Qi Tong and bent down to gently pat her, but Qi Tong, who was lying down, suddenly sat up and almost bumped into her, which startled her. She subconsciously took a step back.

"You..." Xu Ning opened her mouth.

Qi Tong didn't give her a chance to react and immediately bowed and apologized.

With her body bent at a ninety-degree angle, Xu Ning, startled, helped her up with a cool expression.

As soon as I helped her up, I saw that the girl in front of me had red eyes, with glistening tears in the corners of her eyes and a red nose. She was biting her lip and apologizing to me.

Xu Ning stood there, stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with you...?" Her mind was filled with thoughts of how beautiful she was.

Qi Tong wiped her face with her hand and began her usual witty remarks: "It's okay... I just suddenly realized that I don't have any friends in this world... Seeing them all in groups... I'm a little envious... I'm fine..."

As she spoke, Qi Tong choked back a couple of sobs.

This scene was a devastating blow to Xu Ning; she couldn't hear a word Qi Tong was saying. Tears streamed down her face!

Xu Ning stared blankly at Qi Tong for a long time. When Qi Tong saw that there was still no response, she looked up at her. Only when she saw the person in front of her move did Xu Ning react.

"Excuse me, what did you say?"

"I said I have no friends..."

"I'll be your friend!" The mouth speaks faster than the brain.

Xu Ning was silently regretting her actions; she had been too impulsive, trying to make friends with a stranger.

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Tong laughed and said, "Sure! My name is Qi Tong!"

"Xu Ning".

As soon as Xu Ning finished speaking, relieved to have finally made a friend, she went straight to her seat and sat down with a cool expression. But if you looked closely, you could see a blush on her face.

The sunset climbed onto the iceberg.

Qi Tong wiped away her tears and watched Xu Ning stiffly walk back to her seat, her ears still red.

She just wanted to tease this socially awkward girl, but she didn't expect her to actually say, "I'll be your friend."

...Friends. She pondered the word for a moment; her only friend in reality had long since left her.

Forget it, I'll just take it anyway.

After all, Qi Tong was already attracted to Xu Ning while watching the live stream, and now that they finally met in the dungeon, of course she had to make her a friend!

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with Xu Ning. If it were just out of interest, she would never rashly take the initiative to befriend her.

The library lights started flickering, then returned to normal.

The sun outside the window is sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It didn't fall off the mountain, it plummeted. It was as if something was pulling it down.

People who frequently watch horror movies know that nighttime is the most dangerous time.

So when it suddenly got dark and the library suddenly became pitch black, everyone started to get nervous. Zhao Haiyang even sat next to Tan Xue, and they kept comforting each other.

Next to Qin Yu was a middle-aged man who looked honest and unassuming, but he seemed more frightened, his body trembling incessantly.

In contrast, the others were calmer than the rest of them.

[Greetings, players! Congratulations on being selected as readers of this library. Please obtain your library cards from the librarian. Entry to the library is not permitted without a library card. The library will open at 12:00 PM.]

As the announcement ended, an elderly man appeared in front of the cashier.

He sat there smiling, his face covered in wrinkles, with silver-white hair, wearing a light blue shirt, perfectly embodying the image of a kind old man in the family.

But the crowd remained vigilant. Seeing that no one had made a move, the shop manager clicked his tongue, and the smile on his face faded.

Qi Tong skipped quickly from the back to the front desk.

He held out his hand to the old man: "Library card."
