Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

What should I do now? Am I going to die? Will that skinning demon control my mind and hurt you all?

He nervously asked several questions in a row, then looked at Wuyin with a look of grim determination and said.

"Big brother, just put me in your spatial storage. I'm not very useful anyway, and now that things have come to this, I'm like a ticking time bomb."

Upon hearing this, Lucas frowned and suddenly spoke to Li Fan in a very serious tone.

"You are not worthy of being Wuyin's underling at all."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan instantly forgot his previous grief and indignation, and stared intently at Lucas like a cat with its fur standing on end.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Lucas curled his lips into a smile.

Am I not wrong?

"You're not fit to be Wuyin's underling. You just said it yourself, you're not very useful."

"Is a useless piece of trash worthy of being the lackey of the Dragon Kingdom's savior?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Wu Yin slightly shifted her gaze away from Li Fan, without stopping Lucas.

He knew Lucas was helping him.

Li Fan's childhood experiences shaped his inferiority complex and timid personality, but his character was still good.

He himself didn't know how to say those words to Li Fan, but pointing out his shortcomings through someone else was the best and most effective way.

Seeing that Wuyin had turned her head away, Lucas felt even more at ease to provoke Li Fan.

He was initially a little worried that Wuyin would protect Li Fan, but it seems he was overthinking it; Wuyin is indeed a smart person.

"Didn't you say yourself that you're useless? Why are you getting angry now that I've acknowledged what you said?"

"I……"

Li Fan was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red, but he continued to speak with a stiff neck.

“I am of some use too. I can help my brother see the field of vision, gather intelligence, and sometimes I have a flash of inspiration.”

“Even, under special circumstances, I am willing to die in place of my elder brother.”

Lucas lowered his eyes and let out a low, cold laugh.

Even the souls that Wuyin picked up casually were so... loyal.

Should we say he's lucky, or that he's just too charming?

He didn't continue to refute Li Fan's words; some things are better left unsaid.

Lucas dusted himself off and prepared to leave the storage room.

As he passed by Li Fan, he said something in a completely emotionless voice.

"If you think you're useful, then stop playing the victim all the time. It's really annoying."

Upon hearing Lucas's words, Li Fan's pupils contracted and then dilated sharply.

He felt intense emotions, but these emotions were not anger; they were guilt.

Lucas is right, he's always complaining, it's really annoying.

The key point is that his older brother never said a bad word about him, and neither did his younger sister.

The brother and sister had been protecting his fragile self-esteem, but he was completely unaware of it.

Seeing Li Fan in a daze, Wu Yin walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly.

"Let's go."

Li Fan pursed his lips and put on his signature smile again.

"Big brother, I'm here."

Lucas is right, so he shouldn't be here feeling sad and upset about his past self. Instead, he should correct his shortcomings and become a better subordinate!

Wu Yin was also somewhat surprised when he saw the smile that Li Fan gave him.

After all, he had been trapped in Peppa Pig Strange Tales for so long, and his mind was still very immature. Even after Lucas said such harsh words to him, he could still act as if nothing had happened.

He smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Wow... you've really grown up.

When the group walked out of the storage room, it was already completely dark outside the window.

The hospital corridor lights were still bright, but most of the patients who had been strolling in the corridor had returned to their wards to rest.

The group planned to find an empty hospital room and make do for the night.

While searching for an empty ward in the corridor, they ran into the young man with crutches they had met earlier by the elevator.

He immediately spotted a somewhat familiar-looking man who was reaching out his hand and greeting him warmly.

"Hey friend, we meet again."

The young man then turned to look at Lucas beside him, his smile becoming somewhat stiff.

"Is this the good friend you mentioned visiting before? He looks unfamiliar. I don't think I've ever met him on this floor before."

Wu Yin said in a faint, forced smile.

"Oh, my friend is a bit socially anxious and usually stays in his ward. He only came out for a walk in the corridor today because he saw me. It's normal that you haven't seen him before."

Upon hearing this, the young man's stiff expression instantly transformed into one of sudden realization.

"Oh, I see. I was wondering."

His demeanor suddenly changed, and his expression became somewhat gloomy.

"I just went downstairs and the heavy rain hasn't stopped yet. I'm suffocating."

"However, luckily, I discovered something fun."

As he spoke, he pulled a deck of moon-themed cards from his pocket and said to the two of them with a smile.

“I borrowed this from a patient on the first floor. We were just killing time in the hospital anyway, so the three of us could play with moon cards.”

Lucas's eyes were serious. Although he had never met this young man before, he knew that he was definitely not a normal person, and he was about to politely decline his request.

But then Wuyin stopped Lucas, gave him a wink, and continued looking at the young man.

"Okay, then let's go play in your ward."

When the young man heard Wuyin's answer, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then turned and led everyone towards his room.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Harlan. What are your names?"

"Silence."

"Lucas."

Chapter 155 Moon Card

While the three were introducing themselves, they unknowingly arrived at Harlan's hospital room.

Harlan walked ahead and pushed open the door, followed by the three others who went inside.

As soon as the three entered, the door behind them suddenly slammed shut with a "bang".

Lucas was startled and looked warily at the door behind him.

But they found nothing next to the door, as if the door had closed itself.

Harlan glanced back at the closed door and a somewhat nervous Lucas, and said with a smile.

"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts here, it must be the wind blowing."

Wuyin didn't reply, her expression indifferent.

Li Fan muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Ghosts aren't scary, what's scary is you."

Lucas looked at Wuyin nervously and whispered.

"I don't know how to play the Moon card, what should I do?"

Wuyin gave him a reassuring look, indicating that he didn't need to be afraid.

After all... they have the ultimate cheat code.

Lucas also sighed slightly; now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

After all, in the strange tales of rules, there is only one consequence for those who run away from problems.

That is death.

At this moment, Wuyin quietly leaned over and said to him.

"You'll sit to Harlan's right."

Upon hearing this, Lucas felt instantly more at ease.

Since Wuyin said that, he must have his own ideas.

Perhaps... he doesn't even need to lift a finger to win this game.

By this time, Harlan had already mixed the Moon cards in his hand, pulled over a few small stools and a bedside table, and placed the shuffled cards on the bedside table.

He casually picked a stool and sat down. Remembering Wuyin's words, Lucas sat to Harlan's right, while Wuyin sat to Harlan's left.

When Harlan saw that the other two had already taken their seats and was about to deal the cards, Wuyin suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, I need to check the license plate."

Harlan paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"of course can."

After saying that, he handed the cards to Wuyin.

Wuyin carefully examined the back of each card and found that there were no marks, the back patterns were exactly the same, and there was nothing wrong with the cards.

But he was still not reassured, so he washed it again before putting it on the table.
