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

"Serves you right! Someone like you who disrespects the elderly and children should have died long ago. You brought this on yourself! Don't blame me!"

After saying that, he stood not far away and watched Qi Tong struggle in the water. When she was almost out of strength, she heard her father's voice.

It turned out that Dad had been waiting for a long time without seeing anyone come, so he wanted to go out for a smoke and meet them while he was at it, because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find the place.

And that's what happened.

The man rushed to the old woman's side and scolded her in a low voice, "Mom! What are you doing!"

The old woman's shrill voice rang out immediately: "What do you mean, why are you calling me! She fell in herself! I'm just an old woman, I can't swim!"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Is this something to be proud of..." the man said, pulling the old woman closer to the riverbank.

"Come with me quickly and help me get Xiaotong out of there. I've already negotiated with the seller; she can fetch eight thousand yuan! She's not worth that much if she's dead!"

Xiao Tong, who was almost out of strength in the water, heard this and her hope of holding on a little longer was shattered.

She still thought her father really wanted to save her...

She was clearly right by the river...

Why can't we save her?

Why...

When she opened her eyes again, Qi Tong was already in spirit form, standing by the river, watching the mother and son pull her out of the water.

They were pulled out so easily, their lower bodies and sleeves were barely wet.

Her father kept shaking her, then collapsed to the ground, saying, "It's all over, we can't sell them."

It was only at this moment that Grandma realized how frightened she had become. She knelt beside the corpse, closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and kept muttering something. If you listened carefully, you could hear her saying, "Don't blame me."

Qi Tong laughed, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

Blood and tears streamed down her face. As her consciousness was immediately consumed by hatred, a dizzying sensation swept over her, and Qi Tong opened her eyes.

She returned. Back in the library, she sat in a chair, and before her was still that group of eerie creatures, each one staring at her.

The little girl, the protagonist of this story, looked at her with tears of blood streaming down her face and said, "Sister, tell me, did they deserve to die?"

Seeing that Qi Tong remained silent, the little girl began to go crazy, screaming incessantly, her voice so sharp it seemed to pierce Qi Tong's eardrums.

"Why did you kill your mother?" Qi Tong finally spoke.

The little girl paused, then a strange smile crept across her face: "Of course it's because she deserves to die! She abandoned me, leaving me all alone in that wolf's den. What was she doing when I was starving and freezing? Did she even think about me?"

Qi Tong shook her head and said in a flat tone, "She doesn't deserve this crime."

The little girl exploded instantly, "Why doesn't she deserve this? She deserves to die! She deserves to die! Everyone deserves to die! She gave birth to me but didn't fulfill her responsibility to raise me! If she were here, I probably wouldn't be dead..."

"Do you know why your mother didn't take you with her?" Qi Tong's tone remained calm. "It's not that she didn't want to. It's that she had no choice."

"What is her status in this family? A woman who hasn't given birth to a son is no different from a piece of trash in their eyes."

"She can't even protect herself, how can she take you with her? Every time she comes back, she has to pay money to see you."

"If she really wanted to abandon you, she would have simply never come back. Your mother didn't abandon you, she doesn't not love you, she just wasn't capable of taking you with her."

"Impossible! She doesn't love me at all! She just abandoned me!" The little girl covered her ears in anguish, shaking her head repeatedly, blood flowing from her face and body.

"Who do you think put the money under your pillow? In this family where everyone hates you, who would possibly put money under your pillow?" Qi Tong ruthlessly exposed the truth that the little girl least wanted to hear.

Children don't think too much; they're very single-minded. For example, if her father asks her to deliver money, she will argue with her angry grandmother and still go to deliver the money. She only knows that this is a task given to her by her father.

The little girl squatted down and cried. Slowly, Qi Tong felt everything on both sides rushing backward, and her vision became increasingly white.

When Qi Tong opened her eyes again, she was back in the library. This time, she was truly back; the little girl in front of her was gone.

The confrontation between her and the little girl earlier was just an illusion. Qi Tong knew this when she stopped speaking, the little girl started screaming and howling, and no librarian came to manage the situation.

Why is this kissing spot frozen in place? Nobody's moving!

It moved!

[Finally it moved! I've already browsed other live streams several times.]

[Huh? What's this streamer trying to do with his hand?]

"Snap"

Without even lifting his buttocks, Qi Tong reached out and slapped the old woman across the face.

The old woman's eyes widened immediately: "You...you dare hit me?"

"The fight's already over, why are you still asking?"

The old woman was so angry she was on the verge of collapse; the flesh on her face was almost drooping onto the table, and she was trembling incessantly.

Before she could react, Qi Tong slapped her again.

"That was the one you hit me in the environment, I'm returning it to you. This is a reward for what I did to you because I'm so disgusted by what you did."

The old woman suddenly became furious and was about to explode when a manager wearing a red vest suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

Her red vest was stained with blood, and she didn't look like she had just arrived; it looked like she had been standing there for a long time.

The administrator smiled at the old woman, whose imposing manner immediately softened: "Xiao...Xiao Juan? What are you doing here?"

The manager said with a smile, "Mom, I'm working here. I just found Xiaoqian, and she told me a lot of things."

As she spoke, her hand gradually tightened, eventually digging into the old woman's shoulder, causing blood to seep out. The old woman dared not cry out, as there had already been an example of someone shouting loudly before.

Then, the administrator dragged the old lady away and disappeared without a trace.

Qi Tong was initially puzzled about where the librarian came from, but upon hearing the librarian call her "Mom," Qi Tong guessed that she was the little girl's mother.

The comments section exploded.

【No? She just gave the old lady two slaps with her fresh, youthful face?】

What should surprise you is that she was completely unharmed after the treatment!

Wow, this sister is so cool! I've followed her!

[Give away 10 beers]

[She eliminated three monsters so easily! Did she hold back?]

[Have you never been to a dungeon like this before? These ghosts all have their own unique abilities. I noticed they hadn't moved for a while, so they're probably in an illusion.]

I hate illusions the most! They're so psychologically damaging, so incredibly realistic.

Now, besides her, there are only two weirdos left at Qi Tong's table.

But the two strange figures sat on her left and right, neither of them saying a word.

Qi Tong didn't say anything. Anyway, the rule was that you had to respond when someone spoke to you, but it didn't say that you had to take the initiative to talk to them or answer all the strange questions before you could leave.

Qi Tong was bored, so he would occasionally look at his book and then look up at the other tables.

Currently, Xu Ning has also resolved two strange occurrences.
