Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"It's alright, brother. If we can't get out for the time being, let's rest for a while."

Perhaps staying here is safer than going to the little girl's place.

Wuyin heard Li Fan's voice, turned her head and glanced at Li Fan's face, then suddenly stopped.

He turned around completely, staring intently at Li Fan, his eyes even flashing with a hint of fanatical excitement.

"No, my analysis just now was completely wrong."

Li Fan was startled by the sudden gaze, and instantly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a hungry wolf.

"Wha...what's wrong?"

Wuyin turned around and stared at the wall, her mind racing with logical connections.

The breakthrough lies with Li Fan.

Because Li Fan also experienced a period of "disappearance and solidification" similar to that of a wall.

Previous analysis suggested that it was the little girl's ability that carried people from the 18th floor to the 19th floor.

But upon closer inspection, this is clearly not right. If the little girl could teleport others at will, then why was Li Fan sent back when he and Lucas passed by Li Fan's original location during their search for Li Fan?

It couldn't possibly be a little girl who had nothing better to do than randomly teleport people around for fun.

Therefore, this change is definitely not due to the little girl's special ability, but rather a change that has occurred within Li Fan himself.

The biggest difference between Li Fan and the other two is that he is a soul, which allows light to pass directly through him.

Re-analyzing the theory using the principles of light:

When Li Fan entered the independent space, he was standing in front of a hospital room with a window. Light shone through the window, penetrating his body from both the front and back, putting him in a state of "being lit from both sides," which is why he was thrown into another space.

When he returned, the opportunity arose because Wuyin and Lucas happened to be looking for him, and their shadows were cast in the area where Li Fan had been standing.

The shadow—that is, "darkness"—intersected with Li Fan's "light," turning him into a mixed state of part "darkness" and part "light," thus pulling him back to his original space.

Therefore, when Li Fan was near Wu Yin and Lucas, the light was always blocked to some extent, and he was always in a state of semi-darkness, which is why he was able to stay here stably.

Wuyin and Lucas are physical entities. Even when exposed to sunlight, the side that is not illuminated appears "dark," but they are always either fully bright or fully dark, and have never shown any abnormalities.

If people can also be affected by light.

So what's truly special isn't this wall, but the space itself!

Perhaps there exists an identical parallel universe.

When they are in a state of "two sides lit" or "two sides completely dark", they will enter the parallel space without walls; while when they are in a state of "half dark and half light", they will remain in the originally enclosed space.

So now, although this wall seems to have appeared suddenly, they have actually always been in the original enclosed space.

To access the parallel space on the 19th floor, you must make this side of the wall "fully transparent".

But right now they have no flashlights or any light source, so how can they make this side visible?

Wuyin looked around and her gaze fell on Lucas.

Oh right! How could he forget that there's Lucas in the team!

……

A few minutes later, Lucas was dragged to the wall, crying.

Wuyin gestured for him to cast a healing spell, and a faint green light immediately emanated from Lucas's hand, which melted a hole in the wall large enough for one person to pass through.

"If I had known my talent would be 'wasted' like this, I would have preferred to leave it rotten in the factory!"

Lucas was full of resentment.

Wuyin smiled, patted his shoulder, and spoke with a hint of sincerity.

"How can you call this a waste? This is your moment of glory!"

"Thanks to your healing talent, otherwise we really wouldn't know how to get out."

The silent praise warmed Lucas's heart, and without realizing it, he seemed to be becoming more and more like Li Fan.

He felt that Wuyin was like a reliable older brother to everyone, not only giving him a strong sense of security but also making him want to rely on him extremely.

No matter what you do, even if it's just a small thing, you will be appreciated.

As people grow up, they often seem to feel ashamed of being praised.

But they all forgot that praise is a positive feedback and a source of joy in life.

No one says that adults don't need praise.

The group emerged one by one from the hole in the wall. Wu Yin immediately noticed that a flashlight was indeed shining at the base of the wall, its beam directly illuminating the wall.

Li Fan initially showed a hint of doubt, but then seemed to realize something.

"No wonder this wall is solid. I remember that when I shone a flashlight on it before, the wall would harden."

Lucas also nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

"That flashlight must have been placed there by that little girl. I wonder what kind of bad idea she's up to now."

Wuyin gazed at the distant corridor, as if deep in thought.

"Now is not the time to worry about the flashlight. The most important thing is to find the little girl as soon as possible. If she is not here, she may be planning something more important."

Chapter 195 The Cleaner Came Up

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire corridor suddenly began to tremble violently.

"boom."

The little girl was violently thrown out of some hospital room and landed heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

She clutched her chest in anguish, her eyes filled with venom as she stared intently at the ward ahead.

From inside the ward ahead, a cold, mechanical voice rang out, each word distinct and deliberate.

"Sweep up the trash. Remove stubborn trash."

Heavy footsteps slowly emerged from the ward, shaking the ground on the 18th floor as if it were trembling slightly.

A tall cleaner in protective clothing slowly walked out of the ward, stood in the middle of the corridor, and looked down at the little girl lying on the ground.

Black mist surged around him, and his aura was so violent it was suffocating.

Li Fan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Brother, what's going on? How did the cleaner from the first floor end up on the eighteenth floor? And the black mist around him is extremely thick; he's definitely not a small danger."

Wu Yin frowned, his voice low and deep.

"This is perhaps what the little girl is truly afraid of."

He paused, already having a plan in mind.

This cleaner isn't actually that difficult to deal with. You just need to use a scalpel to cut open her protective suit and then insert an IV drip to bring her down.

However, without the special tool of an IV drip, the cleaner would be invincible, with considerable speed and strength far exceeding his.

Wuyin didn't want to hand over the IV set immediately.

The little girl is a formidable enemy on this floor. If we can weaken her further by having the cleaner do it, and then use the IV drip to take down the cleaner, we can reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Wouldn't that be incredibly satisfying?

The little girl, who was struggling with the cleaner, suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her. Her eyes lit up and her voice became urgent.

"Quick! You must have gotten the IV set. Give it to me now! Otherwise, we'll all die!"

Wu Yin raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

"Want it? I'm not giving it to you."

The little girl was stunned, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak angrily, the cleaner in front of her pounced on her.

She could only brace herself and quickly scramble to her feet, dodging the attack in a disheveled manner.

The cleaner was fast and incredibly strong; in no time, she was hit hard again and sent flying even further.

She lay weakly on the ground, but her voice still carried a hint of fierceness.

"You need to think this through. If you don't give it to me, none of us will survive."

We're in this together now. This cleaner is tough; just give me the IV set, and I'll take care of him and get you through the hospital's strange tales immediately.

Wuyin let out a cold laugh.

He was already planning to make a move, but seeing that the little girl was still full of lies, it seemed she hadn't been beaten badly enough.

His gaze was fixed intently on the little girl, as if he could see right through her.

The little girl's heart skipped a beat.

She was indeed lying.

As long as she kills the cleaner and absorbs the power of the rules within him, she will become stronger. At that point, she will only use these three as nourishment and will never let them leave.

But given the current situation, she can only appease these three arrogant and ignorant insects for now, and settle accounts after she deals with the cleaner.

Fortunately, this body is in the shape of a little girl; if hard methods don't work, she can still use soft ones.

She immediately put on a pitiful look, blinked her big, tearful eyes, and fixed her gaze on Li Fan.

"Brother Li Fan, don't you treat me like a little sister? How can you bear to watch me die? Please persuade your older brother to give me the IV drip set, okay?"

Li Fan looked at the little girl in front of him, and then at the flashlight that the little girl had placed behind her.

He won't be fooled this time!

"No, I'll listen to my older brother."

Before the little girl could react to Li Fan's words, she saw the tall figure in front of her suddenly rush towards her.

She hurriedly got up, using her small stature to slip past the cleaner under her armpits and circle behind her.

Then, a strange power condensed around him into sharp claws, which viciously grabbed at the cleaner's back.

As the black mist dissipated, the little girl's eyelids twitched suddenly.

"They didn't even tear the protective suit!? Is this numerical setting reasonable?"

The cleaner swayed slightly forward, then turned around steadily and spoke again in his mechanical voice.
