Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

The black mist rising from her body drifted into the air and dissipated.

Her face, which had been as dark as a black balloon, gradually transformed back into the clear, innocent look of a little girl, and her body returned to its original petite shape.

Grib pulled the knife out of Jack's abdomen, and Jack collapsed to the ground with a thud, revealing a little girl behind him clutching her head, her expression one of extreme pain.

"You're not running away, that's good. Then I'll end your life soon, without making you suffer."

"Oh, no, I seem to have forgotten that programs shouldn't cause pain."

As Grib spoke, a hint of mockery crossed his eyes.

Just as he was about to raise his hand again to end the little girl's life, something grabbed his leg tightly.

He frowned and looked down; it was Jack.

Jack's body was covered in wriggling fleshy spikes, which looked disgusting and made Grib very unhappy.

"Tsk, disgusting thing, get out of my way!"

As Gribb spoke, he kicked Jack hard in the chest.

He used almost all the strength in his body to kick that kick.

With a "bang," Jack was slammed against the opposite wall and then fell heavily to the ground, seemingly unable to get up again.

Disturbed repeatedly, he lost all interest in anything else and just wanted to end the little girl's life as soon as possible, then return to Li Fan's body and sleep soundly.

However, it seems that Li Fan's body has a kind of magic that allowed him to recover 50% of his strength, even though he was only 10% strong and seriously injured.

Although the maximum power that can be exerted within Li Fan's body is also the maximum power of this body, fortunately, although this body is not very strong, it is extremely fast.

He swung his knife again, swiftly stabbing at the little girl who was kneeling on the ground, covering her head and muttering something softly.

But this strike was blocked by a dark figure covered in spikes.

"puff."

The knife tip pierced Jack's shoulder, his body convulsed violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His hands slipped from his tight embrace of the little girl's back, and he leaned against her.

He tried to make a sound, but could only manage a breathy "ho..."

Grib frowned, gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, and wanted to strike again, but suddenly found that his hands were completely out of his control.

He tried with all his might to lift his arm, but it wouldn't budge.

His brow furrowed, and he roared in his mind.

"Li Fan! What are you up to now?"

Li Fan: "Xiao Bu, don't rush to kill them. Look at them, something seems off. Why don't we observe them first?"

Grib was speechless.

"If you insist on doing this, and 001 retaliates again, I won't care about you anymore."

"Once she kills you, I'll find a less 'saintly' host."

Li Fan pretended to be very heartbroken and said.

"Little Bu, you've been inside my body for so long, I thought we were best buddies who shared the same pants."

"You've really hurt my feelings, brother."

Grib: "..."

He didn't know why, but every time he talked to this "mentally challenged" person, he felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.

With a helpless sigh, he closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, Li Fan's eyes regained that clear yet "foolish" light.

Two people on the ground.

The little girl stared blankly at Jack, seemingly ignoring Li Fan's presence. She neither ran nor hid, only a single tear silently rolling down her cheek.

Her hands trembled as she slowly cupped her father's face, looking at his ugly appearance caused by being locked in darkness by 001 for so many years. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Tears streamed down her father's face, dripping from his eyelashes.

Jack looked at his daughter. His eyesight had deteriorated completely from living in darkness for many years, and he could not see his daughter's face clearly, but he could smell her scent.

My daughter is very sad right now, extremely sad.

He gently raised his hand, covered in barbs, wanting to wipe away the tears on his daughter's face, but his hand stopped in mid-air, afraid of hurting her.

The little girl looked at her father's rough, even somewhat "disgusting" hands, but felt no disgust whatsoever.

She held her father's hands tightly. Jack instinctively wanted to pull away, but he was afraid of hurting her by holding on too hard, so he could only let her hold them.

Chapter 199 All Killed

The girl buried her face in her father's hands and sobbed softly.

"Dad, Dad, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

Jack opened his mouth, but could no longer utter a word.

001 has just forcibly turned him into a monster without reason, who only knows how to obey commands.

During that time, he seemed to be asleep, completely unconscious.

Suddenly, a sharp pain in his heart jolted him awake. He couldn't see what was happening, but he could sense that his daughter was in mortal danger and needed his protection.

Although he has forcibly regained consciousness, his other bodily functions have completely failed, and he is unable to speak. When 001 issues the next command, he will only be able to take forced actions.

"Ahhh-"

The little girl suddenly let out a shrill scream, surrounded by black energy that continued to swirl around her.

Immediately afterwards, her body began to mutate violently. Just like before, her face began to swell up, becoming like a pitch-black balloon.

Li Fan's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

Could it be that Grib is right and she's going to be alienated again?

At this moment, a person with a slightly swaying figure walked up to Li Fan's side. Li Fan turned his head to look and saw Wu Yin with a cold expression.

Wuyin was almost killed by 001 just now, but after resting for a while, she was able to get up with difficulty.

Li Fan recounted his conversation with Gribu to Wuyin, who simply nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised that the little girl was the core of the anomaly.

He didn't say anything, his gaze fixed on the little girl who was turning dark, and three IV drips materialized in his hand, which he threw towards the little girl.

Because Jack was almost blind, when he sensed something flying past him, the IV needle accurately pierced the little girl's face.

But it seems nothing happened.

The little girl's balloon-like face wasn't punctured, and even the black mist swirling around her wasn't inhaled by the IV drip.

Li Fan was startled and spoke softly.

"Could it be that this IV set won't work for the little girl either? It didn't work for Jack before."

Wuyin's eyes were dark, and he uttered only two words softly.

"will not."

Wuyin knew that her sister had said before that the IV set was an important tool on this floor and couldn't possibly be completely useless.

Moreover, he had already understood the underlying principles of infusion sets, so he was confident that his deduction was correct.

The IV set represents "hard-earned money," and it was Jack's hard-earned money that was used to treat Pali's illness.

The purpose of this "hard-earned money" should be to enhance Pali's soul, allowing the Pali within 001 to fight for control of the body.

Wuyin's gaze remained fixed on the IV set, noticing that it wasn't completely unchanged.

The dark red liquid in the IV bottle was slowly flowing down the IV tubing toward the needle, ready to be infused into 001's body.

When the dark red liquid filled the entire infusion tube and began to be injected into 001's body, the liquid in the bottle suddenly dropped rapidly.

The liquid in the dropper no longer dripped, but flowed down like a water column, as if it were being continuously drawn in by some powerful substance.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

001's screams grew even louder, and she clutched her head tightly with both hands, seemingly in extreme pain.

She kept reaching out to try and remove the IV needles from her face, but no matter what she did, she couldn't pull out the needles that were deeply embedded in her face, as if those needles had grown into her face.

Jack panicked when he heard the screams. He wanted to help, but didn't know how, so he could only sit helplessly next to his daughter.

001's screams continued, and the black, balloon-like face began to flicker, switching repeatedly between its bizarre form and the face of a normal little girl, like an old television set with a broken signal.

You could tell she was about to faint.

A glint of light flashed in Wuyin's eyes.

"It's working."

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Fan walked over to Lucas, who had fainted to the side, lifted Lucas's hands, and dragged him to a safer place.

As luck would have it, Lucas slowly woke up at that moment.

The first thing he noticed when he woke up was that his hands were being held above his head and he was being dragged backward.

He was startled, his gaze instantly returning to focus. He looked up and met Li Fan's sweaty, panting figure as he dragged him along.

The two exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Li Fan also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere and smiled awkwardly.

"Would you believe me if I said I wanted to drag you to a safe area?"

Lucas looked at Li Fan, who still hadn't let go of his wrist, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Fan quickly let go and scratched his head as if nothing had happened.

"I'm sorry, I was so happy to see you were awake that I forgot to let go."

Lucas rolled his eyes in disbelief, but when he saw the little girl and Jack beside him, his expression instantly turned serious.

He stood up and walked to Wuyin's side.

What just happened?

Wuyin looked at the unconscious little girl on the ground and the helpless Jack, and gave a brief explanation.

"The real Pari and the little girl who is now being strangely controlled are fighting for control of the body."
