Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

But the 18th floor is an enclosed space with no stairs at all.

Lucas broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this; he had almost forgotten about the note on the 7th floor.

Now, hearing Wuyin mention it, I'm starting to feel that there are hidden dangers on these 18 floors.

Wuyin continued.

"Rule number four in the note at the nurses' station: If you keep running the elevator, 'he' will find out."

This 'he' hasn't appeared yet, but perhaps... he'll appear tonight.

Upon hearing Wuyin's words, Li Fan's expression turned serious.

"By the way, do you guys think the number 18 has any special meaning? If it's going upwards, it represents 18 floors; if it's extending downwards..."

It's the eighteen levels of hell.

As soon as the last few words were uttered, Lucas felt a chill run down his spine.

"Stop analyzing for now. Wuyin said there might be a crisis tonight, so we should start looking for clues and prepare for the crisis as soon as possible."

Wuyin silently turned around and looked at the empty ward next to her.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on the doorknob of the ward, then turned it.

With a click, the ward door opened.

The door to the ward was unlocked. The three of them went inside and searched the room briefly, but found nothing.

Wuyin had no choice but to go to the next ward. The door was also unlocked and opened easily.

However, the layout inside was exactly the same as the first ward, and even the contents were the same. The three of them still couldn't find any clues.

Seeing this, Lucas offered a suggestion.

"It seems that all the wards on this floor are laid out like this. Let's split up and explore quickly before coming back here."

Wuyin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and finally agreed to Lucas's suggestion.

Chapter 180 The Strange Little Girl

The three of them split up to explore the wards.

Li Fan also randomly opened a ward and went inside to explore.

However, these wards were almost identical to the ward they had visited the first time, offering no clues whatsoever.

Li Fan looked at the empty hospital room and muttered to himself.

"Could it be that all the wards on this floor are like this? Where else can we look for clues?"

After saying that, he sighed and went out to prepare for the next ward.

Suddenly, a small figure appeared in front of him. He looked down and saw a little girl.

The little girl had long, golden hair, wore a snow-white dress, and was holding a plush bear.

The only surprising thing was that her face and body were extremely pale, like a vampire who had never seen the sun.

Seeing the little girl's pale face, Li Fan realized that she might be a patient on this floor.

Perhaps she secretly hid herself when everyone was exploring at the beginning.

After all, this floor is enclosed, and even if she were supernatural, she couldn't possibly appear here from somewhere else without any reason.

However, looking at the little girl, he felt inexplicably uneasy and prepared to shout for Wuyin and Lucas to come and take a look.

Just as he was shouting their names, the little girl in front of him gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

The little girl looked up at him, her face almost pleading.

"Big brother, can you do me a favor? Can you come into the room and I'll tell you?"

Li Fan pursed his lips and stared intently at the little girl in front of him. Although she looked harmless, his older brother had said that the calmest person is often the most dangerous.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you right now."

The little girl hadn't expected the man to reject her so directly, so she lowered her head pitifully, her shoulders still trembling slightly.

Looking at the little girl whose shoulders were trembling slightly, Li Fan felt a slight sense of relief.

How did he make a little girl cry?

But if Li Fan looked up from below, he would find that the little girl in front of him was not crying at all, but was hiding the twisted anger on her face.

"Then wait for my older brother to come over. I'll discuss it with him, and if he agrees to help you, I'll do it, okay?"

Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then discussed it with the little girl in front of him.

After all, he wouldn't be so stupid as to blindly act like a saint just because someone else is crying.

Anyway, he had already called out Wuyin and Lucas's names. If his older brother heard them, he would definitely come over here.

Upon hearing Li Fan's words, a smile beyond her years flashed across the little girl's face, before she immediately switched to a teary-eyed expression, looking up at Li Fan with wide, blinking eyes.

"Then let's go into the room and sit for a while, and wait for your older brother to come over, okay?"

Because I'm a little shy, I'll be very scared when your older brother comes over later.

Li Fan thought for a moment and nodded.

"can."

None of the three of them had noticed that there was a patient on this floor before, which shows that the little girl was indeed very shy and hid so that none of them noticed her presence.

Moreover, he had just explored this room, and there was nothing inside, so there shouldn't be any danger.

When the little girl heard Li Fan agree, her expression instantly brightened, and she wanted to take Li Fan's hand and walk into the room.

But then, two familiar voices came over.

"Li Fan".

"Li Fan!"

It was the voice of Wuyin and Lucas.

Li Fan also looked towards the source of the sound, waving his arms and shouting.

"Big brother, Lucas, I'm here."

Knowing that his older brother had come, Li Fan became much more confident.

He turned around and looked down at the little girl in front of him, preparing to speak, but found that there was no one there.

The little girl's figure vanished without a trace, as if she had never appeared in front of him at all.

He stared blankly at the empty corridor before him for a moment.

"Strange, where is she?"

Suddenly a hand patted his shoulder from behind.

Startled, Li Fan whirled around, took a few steps back, and looked at the person in front of him with lingering fear, only to find that it was Lucas.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief and patted his chest as he spoke.

"You walk so quietly, it scared me to death."

Lucas asked, puzzled.

"When did you become so timid? You're the one who scared us to death."

Also, where did you go just now?

Wuyin and I searched the entire floor, but we couldn't find you anywhere. Then, suddenly, you appeared here again. What's going on?

Li Fan looked on with suspicion and asked the question with a hint of doubt.

"Really?"

I've been standing in the hallway since I searched this ward. You can see me as soon as you come out of the ward.

"And I called out to both of you, didn't you hear me?"

Wu Yin watched Li Fan with a serious expression.

“When did you call our names? This floor is so small, but we didn’t hear anything about you.”

We searched every ward here, but we couldn't find you.

Besides, the corridor isn't long. If you were standing in it, we could see you at a glance, but the fact is, neither of us saw you.

Hearing Wuyin's words, Li Fan was even more bewildered and eager to prove himself.

“I really didn’t lie to you. Just now, a little girl was standing in front of me and asked me to do her a favor. If you don’t believe me, we can confront her.”

Lucas crossed his arms and looked up at Li Fan with a puzzled expression.

"Have you been in this hospital for too long and been under too much pressure, causing you to become mentally unstable? Where did this little girl come from? Don't lie through your teeth."

Li Fan turned around, looked at the open door of the ward behind him, and said with a sudden realization.

“She told me she was shy and that she could only hide in this ward for such a short time. It’s okay, once I find her, you’ll know I’m telling the truth.”

Wuyin and Lucas exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, but neither of them disturbed Li Fan.

Li Fan searched around the room, muttering to himself.

"My older brother and his family are here. Don't be shy. They are very nice people and won't hurt you."

Li Fan looked around but couldn't find the little girl.

He stood there, completely stunned.

"That's not right. Where could she have gone in such a short time?"

"This is the only room we can have. Did she manage to get to another room quickly?"

Lucas couldn't help but call out to Li Fan.

“When we first came in, we didn’t see any patients. Now you’re suddenly saying there’s a little girl here. That must be a hallucination.”
