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

Qi Tong noticed something in the corner between the freezer and the wall, and she went over to it.

It was a tiny space that could easily accommodate a small person, with a chain nailed to the wall and a collar removed from the end of the chain.

There's no one here anymore.

The chains were rusted, and the walls were covered with countless writings.

Fresh blood is written on it, and with the passage of time, it becomes an eternal painting.

The only question is who owns this calligraphy and painting.

Qi Tong squatted down here, writing very low, which showed that the person who was originally locked here had long since lost the strength to struggle and could only sit slumped here.

He used his fingertips to express his discontent on the wall.

Qi Tong looked at the wall, where most of the messages were "I hate you" and "Damn it".

Qi Tong looked closely and found two different ones: one said, "You will be punished," and the other said, "Don't do it again in your next life..."

The last few words were smudged by the owner and then covered with "I hate you".

Just as Qi Tong was pondering, a rope suddenly appeared behind him and tightly looped around his neck.

Qi Tong gripped the rope tightly with all her might, trying to leave herself a gap to breathe.

"Who...who are you?" Qi Tong asked with difficulty.

The figure behind him slowly appeared. "Who am I? You can guess."

Qi Tong didn't speak, but Chen Jie assumed that she was silent because she couldn't guess at all.

Behind her, someone shouted excitedly, "Chen Guodong, does that name sound familiar? The man you all ignored and who died a tragic death!"

"I'm his brother, and I've come to take my revenge!"

Seeing that Qi Tong remained silent, Chen Jie felt that Qi Tong had no strength left to resist.

He continued, "You even tried to steal my Rookie of the Year title! I absolutely won't allow that to happen! Hehe, do you know why this dungeon wasn't streamed live?"

"This is the item I was rewarded with from the newcomer rankings. I can block the live stream whenever I want, and I can kill whoever I want in the dungeon."

As if he wanted to see Qi Tong break down and despair, he actually chose to let Qi Tong die knowing the truth.

Then he leaned close to Qi Tong's ear.

His warm breath brushed against Qi Tong's neck, and then she heard him whisper.

"This is how the last person who coveted this position died."

"I'll send you down now to keep my brother company! You won't be lonely on the road to the underworld with a beautiful woman by your side!"

After saying that, he gripped the rope tightly, preparing to send Qi Tong on his way.

Upon hearing the information she wanted, Qi Tong stopped pretending and ripped the rope off with a single force.

He turned around quickly and slapped Chen Jie across the face.

Chen Jie's face was turned to one side after being slapped, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly turned his head, his gloomy gaze fixed on Qi Tong, and then he smiled.

He clenched his fist and rubbed it vigorously against his mouth.

"It's not good for a girl to have such strength..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a dagger from his spatial storage and rushed forward.

Qi Tong quickly grabbed the arm holding the dagger and kicked it away with a high kick.

He pressed Chen Jie's arm behind his back and kicked him in the back of each knee.

Chen Jie suddenly felt a pain in his leg and uncontrollably knelt on the ground.

Qi Tong chained him to the same chain as before, and Chen Jie was still cursing incessantly.

He asked Qi Tong to kill him, but Qi Tong shrugged and said, "Why would I kill you?"

Qi Tong knew that Chen Jie, who could reach the top of the newcomer list, must still have props.

He kept emphasizing that killing him meant the item would only be triggered when he was near death.

Qi Tong had already noticed that someone was following her.

Although System 666 did not detect it, it also reminded Qi Tong in his mind that there were items that could hide the player's presence.

At first, she was just suspicious because she always felt like there was someone around her.

When she pushed the door open, she deliberately didn't push it with force. No matter how strong she was, it was impossible to push open an iron door without effort.

Qi Tong was finally certain that there was indeed someone she couldn't see by her side.

If even System 666 can't detect someone, then there's only one possibility: a player using an item.

At this moment, Xu Ning also struggled to push open the door. When she saw Chen Jie, she stood there and tilted her head.

"What happened?"

"They've come looking for revenge."

Qi Tong made a casual remark, but Xu Ning quickly realized what he meant.

"Chen Guodong's brother?"

"Um."

Xu Ning also walked in, squatted down, and saw the nameplate on Chen Jie's chest.

Xu Ning was shocked.

"Chen Guodong's brother is number one on the newcomer list?"

"Right?"

They don't look alike at all.

I think so too.

Looking at the two women in front of him who were talking about him so brazenly, Chen Jie felt his heart tremble with anger.

He was being chased by a strange boss in the dungeon, and his heart wasn't beating this fast!

"Go ahead and kill me! Kill me!"

Because of the violent struggle and the fight just now, the bloodstains on Chen Jie's arm had soaked through his hospital gown and turned a large reddish color.

Qi Tong pulled up his sleeve and saw two bleeding wounds.

"Holy crap, he really has a mental illness, and he even self-harms!"

Xu Ning leaned closer to take a look: "Oh yeah, then he really made the right choice coming to this dungeon. What if he gets some healing item?"

The two chattered away, and after they finished, they gave him a pitying look.

Chen Jie was so angry that he wanted to frantically press his philtrum.

You guys clearly drugged me, that's why I cut myself!

The two began searching for other spaces, but unfortunately, there was only this one room.

Thinking about it carefully, a complete human corpse has a use, either as medicine or as food, so there is really no need to store the corpse anywhere else.

I looked at the several large knives and chainsaws hanging on the wall.

Those must be tools used to dismember corpses.

Meat can be made into food, and bones can be made into white pills...

And... what about the hair?

Qi Tong began rummaging through the freezer and storage cabinets.

Finally, they found the hair in one of the largest freezers.

When the cabinet door was opened, it was filled with hair, scalp, and some dried skin tissue.

Seeing this hair, the sound that had just disappeared began to linger in my ears again.

These hairs are waste, unrecycled residue, but precisely because they were not used, they became the only traces left by the deceased patients.

They all wanted to escape, and they were singing, "We can go home tomorrow."

But none of them were able to get home.
