"Sister Wenya, wait a minute!"

Wenya raised her paw to slap him, though she was inwardly complaining. But if it really came down to a head-on collision, she and Ningbao were no pushovers either.

"What's wrong?"

Wen Ya's movements stopped abruptly in mid-air after Ning Bao called out to him.

Ning Bao first smeared a calming talisman on her own forehead, then patted one on Wen Ya's head. Wen Ya only felt a blur before her eyes, and the thing that wriggled like human skin immediately disappeared.

Wenya: ...

I've been tricked by illusions again! When will this ever end?!

However… Wenya turned her head to look at Ningbao:

"How do you know this is fake? That shouldn't be the case. When the door was being banged on, the calming talisman on my head hadn't worn off yet. I really heard it."

Otherwise, Wenya wouldn't have believed it to be true so easily.

"The sound of the door being rammed was real, but the monster that came in was an illusion."

Ningbao nudged the little spider next to her with her paw:

"There are no monsters in the little spider's field of vision."

Wen Ya understood. It must be that the mental crystal core inside the little spider hadn't been completely consumed yet, so Ning Bao, who was mentally connected to it, could see the scene around the little spider.

"Hmm? That doesn't make sense either. You were affected by the illusion even through the little spider."

"Ningbao doesn't know."

Ning Bao shook her head honestly. To be honest, today was already an exceptional performance for her, since she wasn't really good at using her brain.

"Perhaps... to create an illusion for you through the little spider, the ghost needs to be specially controlled. Just now, the ghost's attention was probably on the two of us, so it didn't specifically create an illusion for the little spider. Also..."

Wenya stretched out her paw and scraped the white cake off her head:

"I feel that we have been misled by those two rules that suddenly appeared. These rules must have some mandatory aspects. Simply relying on mutual deterrence is not enough to stop the war between the two races."

"Yes, the monster didn't actually rush in just now; instead, it was trying to lure us in. If Sister Wenya had really slammed down with her claw, it might have hit the door directly and smashed the wooden door to pieces."

Ningbao yawned and mumbled a reply, still half asleep. After all this commotion, it was getting late; it was almost time for Ningbao to go to sleep.

Wenya looked at Bai Gao, her eyes narrowing dangerously:

"We should have already met all the conditions for those two rules, so why did they suddenly appear just now?"

Bai Gao instinctively shrank back in fear and let out a weak meow:

"Gao Gao doesn't know."

"Aren't you the system? Don't you know your own functions?"

Wenya is very irritable right now, so her voice is a bit fierce.

Bai Gao was almost in tears:

"Gao Gao made a contract with Ning Bao just a few days after coming off the production line. How would she know? Her brother didn't even teach her. Humans aren't born knowing how to talk, and wolves aren't born knowing how to hunt..."

Bai Gao became increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, and finally, she actually started to sob softly. This completely bewildered Wen Ya, who frantically tried to comfort her.

"Don't cry, I didn't... Okay, okay, I was mean to you, I'm sorry, I apologize, please don't cry..."

Ultimately, Wenya is just a half-grown wolf cub. His age is only considered relatively old within Ningbao's small group, but he's only twelve years old. If you convert their lifespan to that of a human, he's even younger than a twelve-year-old human.

Suddenly arriving in such an unfamiliar place, and being completely manipulated on the very first night, Wen Ya couldn't remain calm; she simply couldn't do it.

TV dramas are all lies. Neither she nor Ning Bao are geniuses, nor do they have an invincible system to cheat with, nor do they have any almost brainless supporting characters to step on. In a place that relies on brains, they have absolutely no advantage!

She was initially just feeling angry and annoyed, but now, seeing Bai Gao crying and trying to comfort her, she herself felt a little like crying. After all, emotions really are contagious.

detached from her sadness, Ningbao's mind was nodding off as she struggled to stay awake. However, when she tried to open her eyes wide again, she saw Wenya and Baigao both shedding tears.

With a start, she instinctively jumped up from the ground, her fur standing on end, as if about to attack:

"The enemy! Where is the enemy?!"

Ning Bao looked around but saw nothing, so she slowly sat back down, tilting her head in confusion.

Why are Wenya and Baigao crying?

"Who said I cried? I didn't cry!"

Although Wenya successfully overcame her adolescent angst after she almost got hospitalized by Mumu for pretending to be crazy, she's still in her adolescence and rebellious phase at her age, and she definitely can't give up her self-esteem.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

She buried her entire wolf head in her paws, her voice muffled:

"It's very late now, I'm going to sleep. Ningbao, you should go to sleep too."

Ningbao remains confused...

She clearly saw Wenya cry, so why wouldn't Wenya admit it? In Ningbao's mind, crying wasn't something shameful. If she cried, she would just cover her face with her little paws and feel a little embarrassed.

However, despite not understanding it, Mumu said that everyone's thoughts and habits are different, and you can't impose your own ideas on others. So Ningbao only stood there stunned for three seconds before decisively choosing to coax Baigao.

Wenya had only been emotional for a moment and had calmed down quite a bit, but she was too embarrassed to see Ningbao, so she simply buried her wolf head in her paws to think about things.

The task for Bai Gao requires three rules, so there should be three or more rules in total. Among the rules they are unaware of, there should be mandatory ones. But if there are mandatory rules, what is the purpose of this first rule?

Furthermore, the first rule mentions "a certain scope." Therefore, some rules are likely limited and not universally applicable. So, are there any universally applicable rules?

……

As she thought about it, Wenya actually fell asleep.

Ningbao thought even less. After coaxing Baigao, she hugged Baigao and went to sleep together. She didn't think at all about what would happen if ghosts or monsters broke in in the middle of the night while all three of them were asleep.

……

They slept soundly through the night, and nothing happened. No, to be precise, nothing happened after Ningbao and the others fell asleep.
