Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

The young man then withdrew his strange gaze and continued limping past Wuyin, heading towards the elevator behind him.

He gently pressed the down button, and the elevator doors opened quickly.

The young man stepped into the elevator and then disappeared from their sight.

Looking at the targeted elevator, Li Fan cursed its ancestors in his mind.

But then he asked, puzzled.

"Is it raining sulfuric acid outside?"

So, these people trapped in the hospital, being strangely corroded, believe it's an acid rain outside, which is why their families haven't come, and they can't get out, right?

Wuyin touched her chin, her eyes flickering.

"It's possible that only the 7th floor is like this. Let's go see what other people are saying."

Li Fan nodded, and the two were about to go to other wards to ask for more clues when Lucas returned.

He spoke to the two of them.

"The structure of this floor is also very simple; it is an L-shaped corridor structure."

L's tail area was a regular storage room. I went in and saw it; it was full of medical supplies, nothing special.

Wuyin glanced at Lucas and nodded.

"Then start exploring from the wards on the other side of the tail and look for useful clues."

Lucas responded and turned to leave.

Wuyin then entered a nearby ward.

The two elderly women who were chatting animatedly in the ward suddenly stopped talking. They stared at the young man who had inexplicably walked in, and the air became quiet for a moment.

Wuyin sat affectionately next to one of the old women, a happy smile on her face, and spoke.

"Grandma Wang, how have you been lately? I miss you so much."

The old woman frowned, looked at the strange man in front of her, and asked warily.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Wuyin's expression was somewhat reproachful.

"Don't you recognize me? I'm Xiao Wu. You used to hold me when I was little."

Chapter 152 The Strange Lucas

When Granny Wang heard the name "Xiao Wu," she thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and smiled warmly as she spoke to Wu Yin.

"Oh, Xiao Wu, you've grown so much, I almost didn't recognize you! How's life been lately? Have you gotten married yet?"

When Li Fan saw this, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in astonishment.

Brother, does he have a relative abroad? The key is that it's such a coincidence that we met in a ghost story.

Wuyin ignored Granny Wang's next question and gave a simple answer.

"Things have been going well lately, but I've been missing you. When will your leg get better? I'll come pick you up from the hospital then."

Wuyin didn't know whether what the young man with the cane said was true or not, so she could only probe Granny Wang indirectly.

Granny Wang clapped her hands and said with a worried expression.

"Actually, I could have gone home to rest a long time ago because of my leg, but it's been raining heavily outside the hospital and I can't go out for the time being. I'm so bored."

Hey, by the way, Xiao Wu, are you still single? Let me play matchmaker for you. Look at the girl next door, she's about your age, and she's so pretty.

You should exchange phone numbers with the guy in the next bed, so you can meet up later.

When the woman in the next bed heard what Granny Wang said, and then looked at the handsome young man standing in front of Granny Wang, her eyes lit up, like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

"Yes, my younger sister speaks gently and softly, and she's very considerate. I think you two are a perfect match."

Wuyin pretended to be a little shy and said.

"Oh, to be honest, Grandma Wang, I already have someone I like, and I'm pursuing him."

I won't disturb your rest any longer; I'll be leaving now.

Both the aunt and Granny Wang showed a hint of regret. Granny Wang waved her hand and said...

"Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

After saying goodbye to Granny Wang and Auntie, Wuyin left the ward.

Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"What a coincidence! You actually run into a relative from your childhood at the hospital?"

Wuyin turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"What relative? I don't know her at all."

Li Fan was somewhat stunned.

"But you were just being so affectionate with her, and you even know her last name."

Wuyin chuckled.

"Aren't there patients' names on the bedside tables? The old lady's name is Wang Cuifen."

Besides, elderly people are getting old and their memory isn't good. They've met so many children in their lives, how could they possibly remember what every child looks like?

Even if she truly didn't recognize me at all, she would just assume she was forgetful and would pretend to remember me to exchange a few pleasantries.

Li Fan was also very impressed after hearing this.

How come my older brother's brain works so well?

Wuyin then spoke to Li Fan.

"Let's go check out the storage room at the end of the corridor that Lucas mentioned."

Li Fan was somewhat puzzled.

"Why don't we wait for Lucas to come along? What if he can't find us when he comes out?"

Wuyin had already walked into the corridor, talking as she went.

"Don't worry, he'll find it."

Li Fan quickly followed.

Soon they arrived at the door of the storage room. Wuyin pushed the door open and saw boxes of miscellaneous items piled up inside.

He casually opened a box containing medical supplies such as gauze and cotton swabs.

Li Fan spoke first.

"Just as Lucas said, this place only contains ordinary medical supplies, and we can't find any clues."

Just then, a soft thud came from the corner of the storage room, like the sound of cardboard boxes colliding.

Both of them looked over warily.

There were many boxes piled up over there, and the cardboard box at the very front looked like it had been hit.

Li Fan stared intently at the cardboard box, whose surface was already creased, and asked cautiously.

"Could there be something strange inside this box?"

Without a sound, he walked forward lightly and slowly reached his hand onto the box, intending to open it.

Li Fan also followed Wu Yin, maintaining a defensive stance.

Just then, a fat, black rat darted out and pounced on Li Fan's face.

Li Fan was so frightened that he took several steps back.

Wuyin swiftly reached out and caught the mouse in mid-air.

Li Fan stared with lingering fear at the rat whose fate had been seized by his elder brother, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it was just a mouse.

Wuyin threw the rat far away with great disgust, after all, it had only startled the two of them and did not deserve to die.

He doesn't have a penchant for making rat paste.

The mouse traced a perfect parabola through the air, then crashed to the ground with a "squeak," before quickly running away again.

As it ran away, it bumped into the box again, making the same sound as before.

Li Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the sound.

"So the noise I just made was also caused by this mouse."

But Wuyin's brows remained tightly furrowed, showing no sign of relaxing.

A few seconds later, the door to the storage room was slammed shut with a bang.

The two immediately turned around warily, staring intently at what was behind them.

A figure stood behind them, silently watching them without saying a word.

Li Fan mustered his courage and shouted loudly.

"Who is it? Stop playing tricks on me."

The person on the other end finally spoke.

“You came to explore the storage room without telling me, and I had to look for you everywhere.”

Furthermore, you didn't even close the door when you came to explore the storage room. Who knows what might happen if medical staff discovered unauthorized personnel entering? You weren't careful at all.

When Li Fan heard the familiar voice, he patted his chest and lowered his guard.

He walked up to her, talking as he went.

"Oh, it's you, Lucas. You really gave us a fright. You walk so quietly."

But after Li Fan took two steps, he felt as if a hand was tugging at his clothes.

Looking back, he saw Wuyin staring at him in the darkness, her expression serious, and she shook her head slightly.
