Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"Little Pear, let Daddy tell you the story of your childhood one more time."

Your mother is exceptionally beautiful. On the day you were born, a celestial being saw her beauty and took her to heaven to become a fairy. She transforms into a star at night to visit our little pear.

His voice grew increasingly choked, and a few tears rolled down his ugly cheeks.

"Mom assigned Dad a task: to make you grow up safely. Although Dad was a bit flustered the first time he took care of you, he never felt tired at that time."

You were born in poor health, and because I was afraid you would leave me too, I named you Pali.

But unexpectedly, a serious illness forced Dad to constantly participate in ghost story performances to earn money for your treatment, leaving him with less and less time to spend with you.

Jack's eyes were starting to glaze over, and his voice was becoming weak; you had to strain to hear him clearly.

"Dad is useless. He didn't protect you or the teddy bear your mother left behind, but Dad will never have another chance to make up for it."

"Dad really regrets it, he regrets not cherishing you more..."

Jack paused mid-sentence.

A black shadow emerged from the IV drip in the little girl's heart and quickly burrowed into Jack's heart through the IV tubing.

Jack froze, like a machine without human control.

A few seconds later, his face contorted and his head began to swell like a black balloon.

Thick black mist swirled around him, and his eyes were fixedly staring ahead.

Wuyin gripped the scalpel tightly and walked towards him, her eyes looking at him as if he were a dead man.

He wasn't a saint; he was just an ordinary person with humanity.

If he has already determined that something is irreversible, he will absolutely not show any mercy.

It is almost certain that the strange core entered Jack's body directly from Pali's body, so the strange core, 001, is now controlling Jack's body.

Jack's balloon-like face suddenly glared at Wuyin, revealing an extremely eerie smile, but after a second, the smile turned into an extremely painful expression.

He squeezed out a few syllables from his throat.

"Don't... let her... see... my... corpse."

"She...will...get hurt..."

Before the last syllable could escape his throat, his expression suddenly froze, remaining completely unchanged.

The head slid off the body and onto the ground, rolled a few times, and then its eyes landed right in the direction of Pali.

The black mist that had been surrounding Jack vanished instantly, without a trace.

Wu Yin lightly wiped the black blood splattered on his face with his sleeve, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"ended."

As the words fell, the entire space seemed to twist and shatter.

Gradually, the distortion of space returned to normal.

At the end of the corridor, instead of two intact walls, there appeared a nurses' station and a doctor's office.

In these offices, there were also doctors and nurses lying haphazardly on the floor, unconscious.

Somewhere around the corner of the corridor, an elevator appeared. There were nineteen buttons on the elevator, representing floors 1 to 19. The display screen no longer showed blood-red numbers, but instead displayed standard white characters.

Outside the hospital.

An elderly woman standing downstairs at the hospital looked at her husband with a worried expression.

"It's been several days already, and that young man named Lucas still hasn't left the hospital. Is he...?"

"If only we had stopped him! Our daughter can't come back now, and she's hooked up with such a young man. What a pity..."

The old man put his arm around the old woman's shoulder, his tone resolute.

"Have you forgotten those butterflies that flew out of the 15th-floor window? That must be some kind of omen. I believe in that young man; he will definitely succeed."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a ray of sunlight suddenly shone straight down from the dark clouds above the hospital, like a sharp sword cutting through the darkness.

The light pierced through the dark clouds and the white mist surrounding the hospital, shining directly into a window on one of the hospital floors.

In an instant, the black mist that was still overflowing from the window suddenly disappeared, and the view inside the window changed to that of a normal hospital ward.

This light, named Hope, not only shone into the hospital but also into the hearts of those standing outside.

They looked up, their eyes fixed on the sky above the hospital, but no one dared to speak. They were afraid of being wrong about their hopes, afraid that it was all just an illusion.

As the beams of light shining down from the sky gradually increased, the dark clouds and white mist eventually dissipated completely.

The entire hospital building was bathed in sunlight, quiet and peaceful, with even a few butterflies and birds flitting overhead.

The hearts of everyone, along with the hospital, brightened.

The old woman watched this scene, her aged eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling with disbelief.

"Did that young man named Lucas succeed?"

She wanted to hear the answer, yet she was also afraid to hear it; she was afraid that the hope she had finally ignited would be extinguished.

However, she did not respond with a denial.

A vigorous young man shouted.

"Yes, Lucas is a hero!"

Chapter 202 Lucas is a Hero

The meaning is already quite clear, and of course, the scene before us is clear enough.

The young man named Lucas, who had been trapped alone in the bizarre hospital building, succeeded.

Among the crowd was a middle-aged man who couldn't contain his excitement and shouted along with the burly young man.

"Lucas is a hero!"

Everyone was drawn to the two shouts and looked at the two men, who were of different ages but had the same emotion in their eyes.

They didn't laugh, nor were they surprised; instead, a heartfelt desire arose within them to shout together.

Almost simultaneously, more than a dozen people, unable to contain their excitement, shouted out.

"Lucas is a hero!"

Immediately afterwards, more and more people shouted this phrase, their voices piercing the sky and even causing the entire building to tremble slightly.

"Lucas is a hero!"

"Lucas is a hero!"

18th floor of the hospital.

Lucas suddenly heard his name being shouted outside the hospital, and he peered out.

A group of people were outside, without any leader or orders, chanting "Lucas is a hero."

A child downstairs at the hospital saw a head peeking out from the 18th floor and immediately pointed at Lucas on the 18th floor, saying in a childlike voice.

"It's that guy watching us from the 18th floor!"

Everyone saw Lucas leaning halfway out from the 18th floor, and their shouts grew louder, their faces filled with respect and reverence.

Lucas scratched his head awkwardly and turned to look at Wuyin and the other person.

The person who contributed the most in this instance was Brother Wuyin, but his role was actually not that significant. Those of you who didn't watch the live stream downstairs have clearly misunderstood.

Wuyin, somewhat amused, crossed her arms and looked at Lucas.

Seeing that the person whose credit had been stolen was still acting nonchalant, Lucas felt so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.

Wuyin looked at Lucas, whose face was flushed, smiled gently, shook her head, and didn't say anything more.

At that moment, a beam of light fell on Wuyin and Li Fan.

Li Fan stood in the beam of light, smiling and waving at Lucas.

"Well then, see you next time."

Lucas paused for a moment, not expecting to say goodbye to his two friends so soon. He forced a smile and waved to them.

As he watched the two figures gradually disappear into the light, he felt as if a piece of his heart had been emptied.

After a long silence, he lowered his head, sighed softly, and turned to pick up Pali, who was lying on the ground beside him.

He looked down at Parri and muttered to himself.

"Although this eerie hospital is fraught with danger, it seems I've made two really good friends. I just don't know if I'll ever see them again."

……

After Lucas went downstairs, the first thing he did was explain to the crowd downstairs who hadn't watched the live stream that the success of conquering the bizarre hospital instance was mainly due to the efforts of Wuyin, the chosen one from the Dragon Kingdom.

After he finished explaining, everyone outside the hospital fell silent, staring at him intently as if trying to see through him.

The look in those people's eyes at Lucas was not one of disgust, but rather one of even greater sincerity.

They knew in their hearts that this man named Lucas had entered the hospital out of pure enthusiasm for everyone's sake.

In the end, he didn't seek credit for his achievements. To be honest, his character is truly impeccable.

At that moment, a young man in a suit suddenly rushed forward from the crowd and shook Lucas's hand.

"You must be the famous Mr. Lucas!"

I know that you were competing with Isk for the presidency of the United States some time ago. Please forgive me for voting for Isk back then. He gave a lot of benefits to ordinary people, but we ordinary people didn't understand why at the time.

Seeing your fearless spirit and dedication to the people of the U.S., I sincerely want to withdraw my vote from Isk and cast it for you instead, hoping you will lead the U.S. to a more prosperous future.

Those who had been waiting outside the hospital, completely unaware of the presidential election, looked at Lucas with even greater excitement upon hearing these words.

The group discussed the matter, each offering their own opinion.

"I never expected that this young man would not only be a good person, but also be running for president. He's truly a promising young man!"

"And he's so low-key. He talks to us ordinary people like he's talking to his own friends, and he's not arrogant at all."

One of the people in the crowd shouted at the man in the suit.

“Isn’t an election supposed to involve all citizens voting? I didn’t know about the presidential election at first, so my vote probably hasn’t been cast yet, right? Now I’m going to cast my vote for Mr. Lucas!”
