Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Chapter 160 The Unusual Distance

Wuyin didn't continue speaking; he had already achieved his goal, and only spoke calmly.

"Since you promised to take us to the elevator, let's go now. Everyone's here now."

Harlan was stunned for a moment. He felt that everything had happened too fast, and he couldn't even remember why he was angry in the first place. He just nodded blankly.

"it is good."

He turned around and led the group toward the elevator.

The distance from the nurses' station to the elevator wasn't too far, but Lucas, who was at the back, felt like he had walked for a very long time.

When he first arrived at this floor, he explored the layout of the entire building, so he was quite familiar with the distances on this floor.

But now the distance is clearly wrong.

If we had come to explore before, we would have already entered the elevator after walking so far, but now...

He looked up and saw that the group was still some distance from the elevator.

Lucas felt extremely uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen if he went any further.

He couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly stopped, staring intently at Harlan's back.

Only then did he realize that his whole body was trembling uncontrollably, as if he was terrified of what was about to happen.

Li Fan and Wu Yin also noticed that the person behind them had stopped. Both of them looked at Lucas with confusion, as if waiting for him to explain.

Lucas couldn't say a word; he was covered in cold sweat, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes were even bloodshot as he looked at Harlan.

Seeing that Lucas's condition was not quite right, Li Fan was also somewhat worried.

"Lucas, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Harlan slowly turned around, looking at Lucas with a calm smile, but the smile seemed strange, and his tone carried a hint of threat.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say I'd lead you into the elevator? Why are you stopping? Don't you trust me?"

Lucas lowered his head, avoiding Harlan's gaze. If he were to be direct now, Harlan would definitely be wary of them, so he remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"I'm not feeling well. Why don't we rest on this floor for another night and go up tomorrow?"

But Harlan didn't seem to have any intention of letting Lucas off the hook, and simply said...

"It's alright, you can rest upstairs. Otherwise, it would be a waste of so much of my time today, which would be very disrespectful to my hard work."

Upon hearing this, Lucas looked at Wuyin with a pleading gaze.

Wuyin is so smart, he must have noticed something was off about this distance, just like me, right?

He definitely understands what I mean and will help me refuse Harlan's request; he definitely will.

But the silent reply extinguished his last flame of hope.

Wuyin: "Harlan is right. We need to get upstairs quickly. The longer we delay, the worse it will be for us."

Upon hearing this, Lucas looked at Wuyin in disbelief. How could he... not have a single doubt?

Is he still silent?

If it weren't for the fact that the Skin-Peeling Demon was no match for Wuyin and that only a wisp of its soul remained in Li Fan's body, he would have even suspected that the person in front of him was the Skin-Peeling Demon wearing Wuyin's skin.

When Lucas heard Wuyin say the same thing, he even began to wonder if he had remembered it wrong from the beginning.

Perhaps the distance from the nurses' station to the elevator is just that far, but he was too nervous; it was all psychological.

He pursed his lips, lifted his foot and took another step forward, but as he did, his palpitations worsened, and his heart even began to throb with pain.

No, that's definitely not right.

He didn't have a heart condition, but his current physical discomfort was warning him that continuing forward would only lead to certain death, and a gruesome one at that.

"Wuyin, if you want to go into the elevator with Harlan, you can go first. I'm not feeling well today, so I'll stay on this floor and not go."

Lucas finally decided to listen to his heart; even if it meant death, he would never take another step near that elevator.

Seeing Lucas like this, Li Fan felt a little bad and tried to comfort Wuyin.

"Big brother, how about we..."

Before Li Fan could finish speaking, he heard Harlan snort coldly.

"Humph."

Harlan's lips slowly curled into a strange smile, looking at the group with a hint of mockery.

"It seems there is indeed a clever person in your team, but this clever person isn't very clever, or rather..."

He looked at Wuyin with a mocking gaze.

"This intelligent man was ruined by you, you stupid pig."

Li Fan's expression changed.

"What exactly did he mean by that?"

Harlan slowly waved his hand, and the scene in the air suddenly became distorted. All the lines kept recombinating and changing, eventually forming the interior of an elevator.

That's right, the group had just stepped into the elevator.

Lucas was standing right inside the elevator entrance.

In other words, it was because of Wuyin's words that Lucas took another step forward. So, even though he was not in danger at first, he stepped into extreme danger because of this step.

This elevator has only five sides. The back of the elevator is endless darkness, and from time to time, several pale hands reach out from inside, trying to grab people down. It looks extremely dangerous.

Upon seeing this, Lucas turned pale. He tried to take two steps back but bumped into the cold elevator door.

The elevator doors had closed at some point, and Lucas's expression became even more desperate. He suddenly felt all his strength drain away and slowly sat down on the floor, leaning against the elevator.

Harlan looked at the despairing Lucas and chuckled softly, eventually bursting into laughter.

"Hmph hmph hmph hahahahaha."

"If you hadn't suddenly stopped and reminded those two idiots in front of you, they would have fallen into the abyss of evil spirits and become nourishment for my darlings."

Since you're so eager to die, then I'll kill you first.

Li Fan was taken aback, his expression turning somewhat angry.

"What do you mean, two idiots?"

Harlan also turned his head and slowly looked at Li Fan standing next to him.

"Yeah, you idiot, haven't you realized I can see you yet?"

"Playing that moon card game with you was actually a deliberate act to let you win, because I knew you would ask me to take you into this elevator."

Li Fan rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to hit someone.

Whether you can see me or not has nothing to do with me, but if you call me and my older brother stupid pigs, then that's a different story.

Chapter 161 Only 25kg

"How cunning."

Lucas muttered softly.

"This person must be the reincarnation of Han Xin, how can he endure so much?"

Li Fan, standing beside him, looked puzzled.

"No, Lucas, how come your attack power has also increased?"

Who corrupted you, little Sisi?

Harlan was too lazy to waste any more words with the others, and his body began to change.

Half of his body transformed into a black mist figure constantly churning with black vapor, while the other half remained unchanged.

His hand, which was half covered in black mist, also transformed into sharp black claws, ready to attack the group.

Suddenly, the elevator's bright red light flashed and a warning sound rang out, causing Harlan to pause in his movements.

"Warning, warning, elevator overloaded, exceeding 200kg, cannot start."

Harlan glanced to the side and noticed that Wuyin had her hand behind her back and had pressed the start button at some point.

He scoffed.

"Didn't you know? This elevator must have a load capacity of 200kg or less."

I think you should stop struggling. How could this big man weigh less than 200kg?

Wuyin simply stared at Harlan expressionlessly, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Really?"

What if I told you that I only weigh 25kg?

Harlan paused, then looked up again at the total weight of the four people displayed above the elevator, which was 235kg. He breathed a slight sigh of relief and let out a cold laugh.

He actually believed this kid's nonsense. Even if the other three were heavy, this kid couldn't possibly only weigh 25kg.

Although none of the people in the elevator were overweight, all four were quite tall, so their combined weight couldn't possibly be less than 200kg.

He couldn't figure out what Wuyin was up to. Could it be that she was so terrified that she went mad and told a lie in order to live a few more seconds?

Harlan snorted coldly, no longer wasting words with the others, and raised his sharp black claws, about to sever Wuyin's neck.

Just then, Li Fan suddenly floated up lightly.

Harlan paused, a flicker of panic crossing his face for a second.

He had completely forgotten that the kid could float, which would make him negligible in weight.

He looked up at the display screen on the elevator again, and the weight showed 205kg.

When the soul stands on the ground, its weight is only half of what it weighed in life.

Li Fan was already thin, and in his soul form he weighed only 30kg.

Harlan looked at the weight, a smug smile returning to his lips. He no longer had any fear and continued to pounce on Wuyin.

But when his black claws touched Wuyin's body, they turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared completely.
