Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Perhaps something has changed.

Just as Li Fan was about to ask what had happened, the little girl's voice suddenly appeared at the doorway.

"What were you talking about just now? Are you satisfied with the food you prepared for me?"

The little girl stood at the door, hugging her teddy bear, her tone light and cheerful, a faint smile on her face.

Li Fan turned to look at the little girl at the door and said somewhat awkwardly.

"We were just praising the breakfast you prepared."

The little girl's lips curved into a smile.

"That's good. Now that you've finished breakfast, shouldn't you help me with the favor you promised to do yesterday?"

As the little girl spoke, she held up the teddy bear in her hand.

"You need to help treat my little bear; she is sick and very uncomfortable."

Li Fan was a little puzzled and was about to ask what kind of disease a doll could get when he was suddenly stopped by Wu Yin's gaze.

Chapter 188 Help

Wuyin turned to look at the little girl with a polite smile on her face.

"Just tell us directly, what do you need us to help you with?"

The little girl raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her with some admiration.

"Since you've put it that way, then I won't beat around the bush with you anymore."

Could you please go downstairs and get me an IV set? Don't worry, I'll give you a note. Take the note down to the nurse; she won't give you any trouble.

Wu Yin raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

My sister mentioned before that the IV drip set is an important item for clearing level 18.

He was worried about how to send someone downstairs to get the IV set without the little girl's knowledge, but the little girl asked them to help her.

Lucas, looking somewhat puzzled, spoke to the little girl.

"But we didn't see an elevator on this floor, so how do we get to the first floor?"

Besides, once we get to the first floor, we can't just come right back up.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll take you to the elevator on this floor tonight. And the elevator that goes directly from the 18th floor to the first floor won't disappear. After you get your IV set, you can just take the elevator up directly."

The little girl explained calmly.

Wuyin nodded.

"it is good."

The little girl didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

The three exchanged a glance, and Li Fan was about to speak when Wuyin interrupted him.

"Let's go back to our original ward first. This isn't the place to talk."

"Ah."

Li Fan nodded with a worried expression.

After the three returned to the ward, Li Fan couldn't help but speak immediately.

"Brother, I feel like this floor went too smoothly, so smoothly that it feels a bit eerie."

Yesterday, my younger sister asked us to get the IV set from the first floor, and today the little girl insisted we do it for her. I feel like there's definitely something fishy going on.

"There is definitely a problem."

Wuyin gave an affirmative answer.

"I don't know if you noticed, but this morning, when she lifted the covers and found me in bed, she should have been shocked, and then furious."

But I saw no anger on her face, only shock followed by a flash of extreme fear, indicating that she was afraid of something.

Lucas asked.

"Is it because she thinks you're like a ghost, suddenly appearing in her bed, and that's why she's afraid of you?"

Li Fan shook his head and looked at Lucas.

"She is inherently strange, so how could she be so easily afraid of others? She would only be afraid of beings who are much stronger than her and who can directly destroy her."

So the only possibility is that she's worried the person in the hallway outside isn't her older brother, but rather the source of her fear.

Wuyin nodded in agreement.

"That's right, your analysis is very accurate, and there's one more point."

She had asked us for help a long time ago, but she didn't say it until this morning after she treated us to breakfast.

So there's a high probability that she originally wanted us to help her with something else, but because she sensed something that terrified her appeared, she changed it to this.

The IV drip set on the first floor was likely her only tool to combat her fear, and she probably couldn't reach it herself.

Li Fan looked at Wu Yin with admiration.

Lucas proposed a plan.

"According to you, the three of us are quite important to the little girl. Should we take this opportunity to get a few more sandwiches from her to increase her mental strength?"

Going to the first floor will definitely expose you to some unpredictable dangers, so being prepared will make things safer.

Wuyin looked at Lucas, her tone calm.

"Don't forget, she's not that kind. She's always harbored murderous intent towards us. The sandwich this morning was probably just a ploy."

If this favor truly couldn't be done without us, she wouldn't have treated us with such indifference and threats this morning.

However, if you are really afraid of danger, that's okay, just stay in the ward on the 18th floor.

Li Fan and I can just go downstairs to get it. She only asked us for help; she didn't specify who should do it.

Lucas was slightly taken aback when he heard Wuyin's words.

He was indeed afraid of danger, but leaving him alone would only make him more uneasy.

Moreover, Wuyin had saved him many times before. If he were to let the two of them go on a dangerous mission just because he was afraid of danger, he would be a terrible person.

Thinking this, Lucas clenched his fist, looked up at Wuyin again, and his eyes showed a hint of determination.

"I'll go with you. With three people, the danger can be shared, and perhaps in a critical moment, more people can survive."

We were all teammates with a common goal in this ghost story, and no one owes anyone anything. We can't let just the two of you go on this adventure alone.

Seeing Lucas's determined gaze, Wuyin patted his shoulder twice.

This person has a conscience; risking my life to save him was definitely worth it.

The three rested briefly in the room as darkness fell.

As the corridor outside gradually fell into darkness, a series of light footsteps sounded in front of the three people's ward.

They all looked towards the doorway, where a little girl stood, holding a small panda in one arm, her voice filled with excitement.

"You're all still awake? I'm going to take you to the elevator now. Go to the first floor, get your IV sets, and come back quickly."

"Now that I'm back, I can finally sleep peacefully."

Wu Yin lowered her head, concealing the emotions in her eyes.

The little girl's tone of voice was off, especially the last few words, which were trembling slightly.

Li Fan stepped forward and spoke.

"We're all ready. You lead the way."

Lucas and Wuyin followed.

The little girl nodded in satisfaction and led the group toward one end of the corridor.

The three walked quietly down the dark corridor, their footsteps echoing in the darkness.

Wuyin kept staring at the little girl's figure in front of him, and he noticed something strange.

The little girl was holding a flashlight when they bumped into her the night before, but she didn't take it out tonight.

Is a flashlight also a key prop?

Before they could think any further, they had reached the end of the corridor. The solid walls that had once stood there had disappeared, replaced by a deep, dark passageway.

The little girl stopped and turned around to speak to the three people behind her.

“Go down this staircase, and the elevator will be there.”

Lucas frowned.

"Why didn't you take us in with you? Is it because..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wuyin gently tugged at his clothes.

Chapter 189 Back to the First Floor

Lucas frowned, glanced back at Wuyin, and swallowed his words.

Wuyin's gaze fell on the little girl in front of him, whose face was somewhat gloomy. He didn't say anything more, but just nodded slightly to the little girl before turning around and leading the three of them into the dark corridor.

The stairwell was pitch black, filled with a musty smell, and the only sound was the echoing footsteps of three people.

Lucas lowered his voice and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Wuyin, she refused to bring us in earlier and told us to come to the corridor first. Don't you think that's a trap?"

Wuyin didn't turn around, her tone was calm.

"Do you remember what we analyzed in the room during the day?"

She needs us to help her get the IV set from the first floor. There's absolutely no danger until we get it, or even until we get back to the 18th floor, but…”

Wuyin didn't continue speaking at this point, and the air returned to calm.

But Li Fan broke the silence.
