Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"Brother, are we sleeping in this ward tonight? Is it safe here?"

Wuyin nodded slightly, and very naturally lay down on the empty bed next to Harlan, turning off the room light as she did so.

Soon, the people on both beds were breathing evenly, and they seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Lucas and Li Fan hadn't completely let their guard down when they saw that Wuyin was already fast asleep.

The two of them stared at each other, unsure of what to say.

Lucas asked Li Fan in an extremely low whisper.

"Is Brother Wuyin's 'sleep quality' always this good?"

Li Fan thought for a moment, then nodded seriously to Lucas.

His older brother always seems to fall asleep the moment he gets his head down, no matter which ghost story he's in.

"Don't worry, the fact that my brother is sleeping so soundly proves that there should be no danger tonight. Let's both get some rest too."

After all, Harlan said he'd take us on the elevator ride tomorrow; if we don't sleep tonight, we won't have any energy the next day.

Lucas nodded when he heard what Li Fan said, but now there was only one empty bed left. Neither of them minded, so they squeezed in and slept on the same hospital bed.

In the stillness of the night, Harlan's even breathing seemed to soften a little.

In the darkness, he opened his eyes, looked at the three people sleeping soundly beside him, a slight smile playing on his lips, and his eyes gleaming with excitement.

His plan... is about to succeed.

Harlan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and then closed his eyes again.

After an unknown amount of time, Wuyin slightly opened her eyes.

His breathing remained unchanged; even when he was awake, his breathing was still somewhat heavy and even, as if he were sound asleep.

In the darkness, his eyes gleamed.

Wuyin blinked and then closed her eyes again.

Nothing strange happened during the night, and the group slept soundly until dawn.

Lucas woke up just as dawn was breaking.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the curtains in the ward had been drawn open. He looked around warily and saw that Wuyin and Li Fan had already cleaned up. He couldn't help but sigh.

These two seemed to have barely slept at all.

Lucas rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked to the window, wanting to look outside. He hadn't paid much attention last night, only knowing that the curtains in the room were drawn.

Today, Wuyin opened the window, and he was very curious to see what was outside the hospital through the window.

Looking out the window, all I could see was a vast expanse of white, as if a cloud of white mist had been covering the window. The sunlight outside wasn't very strong; it was like a cloudy day, which made the atmosphere quite oppressive.

Chapter 159 The Note in the Nurse's Station

Harlan was the only one left fast asleep in his hospital bed, drooling all over his pillow.

Wuyin was about to reach out and wake Harlan when she saw the drool dripping from half of Harlan's face. She paused, then lowered her hand.

After mentally preparing himself for a while, he finally decided to extend his index finger and forcefully poke the other clean half of Harlan's face.

Harlan slapped his face, scratched the spot where Wuyin had just poked him, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Lucas also came over, looking at Harlan who was sleeping like a pig.

"This kind of person is obviously grumpy when they wake up. Forcing them to wake up might backfire."

Let him sleep. Let's explore other places first, and then have him lead us to the elevator when he wakes up.

There's no rush, we still have plenty of time today.

Wuyin also agreed with Lucas's words, because he found that even the finger that touched Harlan's half-clean face smelled a bit bad.

After he washed his index finger in the bathroom, the group left the ward.

In the hospital corridor, Gaston and the other man made the suggestion.

"We've almost exhausted all the clues in the ward, except for the nurses' station. Let's explore the nurses' station first."

Li Fan looked at Lucas with a puzzled expression and asked a question.

"But there are always people at the nurses' station, which is why we haven't been able to explore it. There are nurses watching over it even late at night. So how can we get in and check?"

As soon as he finished speaking, both Wuyin and Lucas looked at him.

Li Fan understood what his elder brother meant from his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright, I'll go, okay? It seems like you really can't clear the dungeon without me, you still have to rely on me."

The three of them agreed on a plan in the corridor, deciding that Wuyin and Lucas would stay a short distance away and keep an eye on the situation inside the nurses' station.

To avoid a situation where Li Fan is in danger and no one comes to his aid immediately.

Li Fan took the lead and went to the nurses' station to check for any useful clues. A quick look was enough; there was no need to waste too much time.

After nodding to the two, Li Fan quietly drifted into the nurses' station.

The nurses' station was bustling with activity; they barely had a moment to rest and were constantly busy.

Taking advantage of the moment when the nurses were not in the treatment room, Li Fan ran into the treatment room and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets.

Even though the nurses couldn't see him, he still felt a little guilty.

The treatment room mainly contains commonly used medical supplies such as IV bottles, medications, iodine solution, and cotton swabs.

Li Fan quickly checked the contents of all the cabinets, but found no useful clues.

With only a few cabinets left to check, he was about to open and inspect all the remaining cabinets at once when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

A nurse has returned from outside!

Although the footsteps were hurried, they weren't coming from a particularly close distance.

Li Fan's palms were sweating as he quickly opened the last few cabinets and suddenly discovered a note lying in the cabinet in the far corner.

He reached for the note, and just then, the footsteps came from the doorway of the treatment room; it was a nurse who had come to dispense medication.

Li Fan quickly closed all the cabinet doors and then floated into the air.

The nurse heard it, made several consecutive "bang bang bang" sounds, frowned deeply, and hurriedly walked towards the cabinet.

There are important things in that cabinet.

Upon seeing this, Li Fan's heart tightened.

Judging from this nurse's expression, you can tell that the nurses definitely treasure this note.

If the nurses knew the note was missing, I wonder if they would frantically search for it everywhere.

But what's worse is that they might collectively spout strange things in their search for this note.

Just as the nurse was about to pull open the innermost cabinet, there was a sudden bang, like the sound of a small porcelain bottle falling to the ground.

Upon hearing this voice, the nurse's pupils dilated, and a bad premonition immediately washed over her.

She slowly turned her head to look back, only to find that things were worse than she had imagined.

There was a morphine bottle on the ground, broken and with fragments scattered everywhere.

Her face turned pale, she felt numb all over, and her head was spinning.

This isn't ordinary medicine; it's a state-controlled drug. If she doesn't collect all the fragments, she'll be in trouble with the government.

Even if nothing really happened, her professional career should be over now.

She decisively abandoned the cabinet that had just made the noise, quickly ran out to report to the head nurse, and then called her colleague. The two of them worked together to clean up the broken pieces on the floor and wrote a record.

Li Fan gripped the note tightly in his hand, looking at the pale and flustered nurse, feeling a deep sense of guilt.

But soon, he calmed himself down. Thinking that the nurse was just a robot, and that her expressions and reactions were all programmed, he felt much better.

He floated out and handed the note to Wuyin.

Wuyin spoke first, asking a question.

"Are you OK?"

Li Fan shook his head, and Wu Yin then opened the note.

Lucas also leaned over to look at the contents of the note, and his face lit up with joy when he saw the first line of text.

This note was exactly what they needed.

"Elevator usage rules".

1. Please check if the elevator is overloaded before using it. The elevator has a weight limit of about 200kg. If the weight is exceeded, the elevator will not be able to start.

2. This elevator can only go up to the 18th floor. If you want to go to the top floor, you will have to walk.

3. The person who presses the elevator start button first will gain absolute control of the elevator.

4. Please do not frequently go up and down the elevator to avoid being discovered by "him".

After quickly reading the four rules, Wuyin tore the paper into shreds and threw it into the trash can.

Lucas, who was standing to the side, was still reading diligently and taking notes on each rule. He frowned when he saw Wuyin doing this.

Just as I was about to question him, a familiar yet chilling voice came from behind me.

"What are you doing? Didn't we agree to take the elevator together today? Why aren't you waiting for me in the room?"

The words Lucas was about to say caught in his throat, and he felt somewhat guilty in front of Harlan.

Wuyin looked at Harlan with an impatient expression.

"Who else sleeps like you, drooling all over their pillow? I can't even bring myself to wake you in the morning. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

Harlan could hardly believe his ears and was momentarily speechless.

He had always thought Wuyin was a very indifferent person, and he never expected that he would say something like that.

Wait, why did I say "also"?

Li Fan: "Big brother's attack power is incredibly strong. I wonder who he learned it from."
