Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Harlan smiled and said nonchalantly.

"I'm just having some fun with you guys, there's no need to be so serious."

As he spoke, he pulled three guns from the bedside table.

Li Fan stared at the three guns, floated over to Harlan, and pointed at them.

"You told us not to be nervous, and then you just turned around and pulled out this thing?"

Lucas was very satisfied with Li Fan's rant and secretly decided that he would have Li Fan act as his mouthpiece in the future, saying what he couldn't say.

Harlan ignored Li Fan, placed the three guns in front of the three men respectively, and then began to explain the rules of the game.

"Rules of the Moon Card Game"

"The deck consists of 20 cards: 5 each of the Sun, Moon, and Star, plus 2 wild cards."

"Each of the three players is dealt five cards. In this round, one type of card is designated as the theme card (e.g., the moon). Only the theme card and the wild card are considered real cards. The rest of the cards are considered fake cards."

"Play cards in turn, 1-3 cards each time, face down, and only verbally announce 'how many theme cards'. You can lie."

"The next buyer can choose to believe or question."

"If you believe it, the next player plays a card directly; if you doubt it, you can turn over the card played by the previous player to see if it is a real card."

"If it is a genuine card, the challenge will fail, and the person who challenged it will be punished."

"If a fake card is successfully questioned, the player who played the card will be punished."

"In the final two games, if one player runs out of cards first, the player who hasn't run out of cards must challenge the last card played."

"You've seen the punishment, it's the gun in front of you pointing at your own temple and shooting yourself in the head."

As Harlan spoke, he made a gesture of shooting himself in the head with a gun, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"But you don't need to be nervous. Only one of the three magazines in this gun is loaded with live bullets; the other two are empty."

"The person who gets hit by a bullet is eliminated, the person who plays all their cards wins, and the last person standing is the biggest winner."

Wuyin simply nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the rules.

Lucas buried his head on the table, his shoulders trembling slightly, as if he were suppressing his emotions.

Because... if he didn't do that, he would really burst out laughing.

This is a game about lying, but they have Li Fan, the ultimate cheat code!

After listening to the rules, Li Fan glanced sideways and secretly leaned close to Lucas's ear, saying in a cheeky tone.

"Why don't you beg me, and I'll help you cheat?"

Lucas: Who understands? It's hard enough to hold back laughter, and then someone keeps adding more jokes in my ear!

At this point, Harlan had already dealt five cards to everyone and drawn the theme card for this round, which was the moon. He then continued speaking.

"Let's roll the dice to decide who goes first."

Wuyin suddenly smiled and looked at Harlan.

"Don't rush me, I have another suggestion. Games can't just have punishments, they need rewards too, right?"

Harlan looked at the four real cards in his hand and smiled as he looked at Wuyin.

"Okay, what reward do you want?"

"How about the winner makes a request of the loser?"

Wuyin placed his hand of cards face down on the table, seemingly very confident.

Harlan nodded, agreeing to the proposal.

Next, he took out the dice, and the three people rolled the following numbers:

No sound 6.

Harlan 5.

Lucas 1.

Wuyin looked at the 6 on the dice on the table with a bit of confusion, then looked at his hand, which was full of fake cards, not a single one of them, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Lucky talent! I really want to curse your whole family!!!"

Harlan looked at Wuyin and gestured for him to enter.

Wuyin's fingertips trembled as she pinched out a card and slammed it onto the table, her voice slightly unnatural.

"A moon."

Harlan frowned, looking at Wuyin's over-the-top acting, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

That guy is really cunning. He's just putting on an act for me, trying to make me question him, but he's actually playing his real cards.

Thinking of this, he placed his hand on his cards, intending to play them directly.

But then he hesitated for a moment and looked at the card that Wuyin had put down.

Are there really people that stupid?

Was he doing this on purpose to make me think he was playing a real card, when in fact he was playing a fake card?

Harlan hesitated for a moment, then put his hand down from his cards.

Just as he was about to shout out his doubts, he caught a glimpse of a faint smile playing on Wuyin's lips, a smile that vanished almost instantly.

When he looked at Wuyin again, Wuyin was already staring blankly at his hand.

That was close! He wasn't that smart after all; he played his real card. He couldn't have misread that confident smile just now.

At this moment, Lucas spoke up somewhat impatiently from the side.

"Have you made up your mind yet? I'm getting impatient."

Chapter 156 I Want to Question

Seeing Lucas's eagerness, Harlan confidently threw a card onto the table and casually called out a word.

"A moon."

This is Harlan's only fake card. As long as Lucas doesn't question it, he has no chance of losing this hand.

Li Fan, standing beside him, uttered a single word without any expression.

"Fake."

Harlan appeared very confident, and given that it was only the beginning of the game, the two players were probably a little wary. He bet Lucas wouldn't dare to question him.

But Lucas didn't even look at his expression, and just said something softly.

"I have questions."

These four words struck Harlan like a blow to the heart. He trembled slightly and could no longer maintain his confident expression, stiffly letting go of the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that Harlan hadn't turned over the card he had played, Lucas turned it over for him.

"If it's the sun, then... I guess I've successfully questioned it, right?"

Lucas tilted his head and smiled at Harlan.

Harlan steadied himself and reassured himself.

This is only the first time I've been punished. There's only a 1/3 chance of getting hit, so it's unlikely this round will end so soon.

He'll win the next round.

Thinking of this, he casually picked up the pistol in front of him, turned the cylinder, and then pointed it at his temple.

He closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A loud gunshot rang out, and Harlan's brains splattered out.

He lost all his strength and collapsed onto the table, his resentful eyes still staring straight ahead.

Lucas watched this scene with a sense of disgust, now understanding why Wuyin had made him sit to Harlan's right.

Many people hold a gun in their right hand and shoot from right to left at their temple, so their brains will only splatter on the left side.

Indeed, that was the case; the left wall, the stool, and even Wuyin's face were smeared with Harlan's brain matter.

Lucas escaped unharmed.

Wuyin didn't react at all, but simply wiped the brain matter off his face and threw the remaining fake cards on the table.

"Now that he's dead, there's no need for us to continue this game. It's not good for whoever wins next."

Lucas nodded; he had been thinking about that too.

Li Fan looked at Harlan, who was lying motionless on the table, and said with some regret.

"He died so quickly, and the promised reward can't be delivered."

Wuyin curled her lips into a smile and muttered to herself.

"I wish he were that easy to die."

Li Fan looked at Wuyin with some doubt, but soon, the facts gave him the answer.

Harlan, who was lying on the table, had a wound on his temple that was healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

About half a minute later, Harlan gently closed his eyes and sat up.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Just as he was about to reshuffle the cards on the table, he saw four fake cards in front of Wuyin and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

I have four fake cards in my hand, but the one I just played must have been the real one. Luckily, I didn't question it at the beginning.

As he was thinking this, he picked up all the cards, only to find that the bottom card was also a fake.

His expression stiffened slightly when he saw the card.

If I remember correctly, Wuyin was the first to play a card, so the bottom card should have been played by him.

He actually had five fake cards in his hand?
