Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Just as he was about to step forward to enjoy the delicious dinner, Wuyin suddenly grabbed him tightly with a serious look in her eyes.

"Don't go there yet, it might be dangerous."

Li Fan turned to look at Wuyin and noticed that his older brother looked tired and highly vigilant, which puzzled him greatly.

He rarely saw this expression on his older brother's face. Why did his older brother suddenly become so abnormal?

Wu Xin also peeked out and glanced at Li Fan. Both of them could see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Li Fan thought that his older brother might be under a lot of pressure facing the last ghost story, so he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"It's alright. My eyes can see if there's any strange aura attached to the items, but there's no black mist on these three dishes."

"Besides, I'm just a soul, and my little sister doesn't have any spirit points. If you're worried about losing spirit points, let me and my little sister test the poison for you first. If it's okay, then you can eat it."

Hearing Li Fan's words of comfort, Wu Yin realized that her behavior had been a bit too overreacting.

Because of the two extremely tragic deaths he experienced before, his brain is never able to relax. It's like a taut string that's always stretched, and even the slightest disturbance can trigger a huge reaction from him.

Seeing that his older brother didn't say anything, Li Fan knew that his brother had tacitly agreed, so he took the initiative to step forward, picked up a plate of dinner, and began to eat heartily.

His cheeks were full as he waved to the two people next to him.

"Hmm, it's pretty good. It's just normal food. You guys should come and eat too. How can we explore the ghost stories if we don't replenish our energy?"

Wu Xin was young and had been hungry for a long time, but she didn't want to hold her brothers back in the ghost story, so she just endured it.

When she first saw dinner, her mouth was watering, but she didn't make any rash moves.

Seeing how much Li Fan was enjoying his meal, she couldn't resist any longer. She went over, picked up a portion of her dinner, and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Wu Yin rubbed his temples, trying to relax his mind, but it didn't work. He had no choice but to go forward and eat first.

After dinner, all three of them felt very sleepy.

There was only one bed, but luckily there were enough beds. The three of them could sleep comfortably together, so they stopped thinking about anything else and lay down together, gradually drifting off to sleep.

Although Wuyin was already very sleepy, his vigilance forced him to wake up from time to time to observe his surroundings. Once he found it was safe, he would fall asleep again, repeating this process over and over.

It wasn't until late at night that Wuyin was awakened again, but he was covered in a cold sweat.

Because all he could see was darkness.

The lights were turned off at some point.

He did not make any rash moves, but lay quietly on the bed, sensing any movement in the darkness.

Chapter 211 Humanoid Shadow

In the silent space, his breathing was particularly noticeable, along with the breathing of two sleeping figures beside him, and...

There was a faint breathing sound beside his bed!

Wuyin was covered in cold sweat, and a chill ran through his entire body.

But he didn't act rashly. Instead, he continued to pretend to be asleep, wanting to see what this person was up to.

Until the fourth breath got closer and closer, as if that person had bent down and knelt down in front of his bed, staring intently at him.

He quietly conjured the scalpel into his hand, gripping the handle tightly, his heart pounding violently in his chest, as if it were about to expose him.

Just as that breath touched Wuyin's face, Wuyin suddenly opened his eyes, swung his knife forward with all his might, but missed.

There was nothing in front of him, as if there had never been anything at all.

He decisively threw the scalpel at the light switch, and the scalpel hit the switch directly.

With a "click," the light came on.

The entire first floor was brightly lit. Wuyin carefully looked around and found that there was no fourth person in the room besides the three of them.

But his feeling just now was definitely right; there must be a fourth person in this space, and he had just been standing in front of her bed.

But why did it suddenly and inexplicably disappear?

Li Fan and Wu Xin were also awakened by the commotion. They sat up, slowly rubbed their eyes, and looked at Wu Yin.

Li Fan floated up to Wuyin, yawned, and said...

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You seem very tense all day. Are you under too much pressure?"

Looking at Wuyin, whose head was covered in sweat, Wuxin gently comforted her for the first time.

"Brother, it's alright. I still have a protective shield to block the strange things."

If anything strange gets close to my protective shield while I'm sleeping at night, I'll feel it.

Wuyin opened her mouth, wanting to say that someone had just been standing in front of their bed, but after glancing at the stairs to the second floor again, she finally spoke to the two of them instead.

"I just had a terrible nightmare, but it's nothing serious, everyone go to sleep."

Li Fan glanced at Wu Yin with some surprise. His older brother had never been so frightened by a nightmare before. What kind of terrifying nightmare must it have been?

Wuyin stood up, picked up the scalpel that had fallen to the ground, looked down at it, and remained silent.

There's no need to tell my younger brother and sister; they have no way to break the cycle either. If they encounter those terrifying bosses, they're still going to die.

Moreover, even if they said they would wait until the next cycle, they wouldn't remember. Only he was trapped in an infinitely terrifying cycle with his memories intact, enduring mental torment alone.

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind.

I didn't prick anything in the dark just now. Could it be that the scalpel malfunctioned again?

The moment the idea came to mind, he lightly made a cut on his palm with a scalpel, wanting to test whether his idea was correct.

The scalpel was so sharp that even a light scratch caused blood to instantly seep from the palm.

He clenched his fist, touched the wet blood on his palm, and the taut string in his mind slowly loosened.

"Good, thankfully, this scalpel is useful."

Li Fan and Wu Xin were startled by Wu Yin's strange behavior, and only after regaining their senses did they hurriedly surround her.

Wu Xin frowned and spoke somewhat angrily.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't you know there are no medicines in ghost stories? You can easily get infected by hurting yourself like this?"

She angrily took the scalpel from Wuyin's hand, her eyes filled with reproach, but even more so with worry.

Wuyin watched as Wuxin walked to the bedside with a knife, took a strip of cloth from under the sheet, and then simply bandaged him up.

Li Fan glanced at his older brother with a complicated expression, but said nothing.

Although he also felt that his older brother's current state was very strange, he firmly believed that his older brother had his reasons for doing whatever he did.

If the eldest brother really has something he doesn't want to tell them, then he must have his own reasons.

Wuyin reached out her uninjured hand, gently rubbed her sister's head, and sighed.

"I'm fine, you guys go to sleep first."

Wu Xin pursed his lips and glanced at his brother. He saw a lingering sorrow and a complex emotion in his brother's eyes, and a certain guess slowly emerged in his mind.

……

The three lay back down on the bed. Wuyin didn't sleep; instead, she kept a close eye on the stairwell on the second floor, ready for any unexpected situation.

But after only a few minutes of lying in bed, his vision began to distort, his eyelids started to droop, and drowsiness washed over him like a surging tide.

At that moment, he even felt a bit resigned and thought that he might as well just ignore everything and get a good night's sleep.

Suddenly, his pupils widened sharply. Realizing that he had just had such a thought, he sat up abruptly, patted his face, and tried to forcefully wake his brain.

But a few seconds later, he found himself getting sleepy even while sitting!

Wuyin took out the scalpel again and made a cut in his palm. The instant pain brought him back to his senses, but this clarity did not last long before an even stronger wave of drowsiness washed over him.

This time, I could only hold on for a few seconds before my eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and it was difficult to lift them again.

He forced his eyes open, and the world before him swayed like a cradle.

However, in the shaky footage, a humanoid shadow suddenly appeared in front of the stairs, standing there staring straight at him.

Wu Yin tried hard to see his face clearly, but it became increasingly dark. He forced his eyes open again and found that the humanoid shadow was instantly closer to him.

Every time he looked up, the dark figure seemed to teleport closer and closer to him, until it finally stood directly in front of him.

He thought of getting up to grab a scalpel and stab the shadowy figure, but just opening his eyes was enough to exhaust all his strength.

He could only watch helplessly as the dark figure drew closer and closer, until finally, the figure opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of fangs.

……

After a sharp, tearing pain, I heard Wu Xin's anxious cries in my ears.

"Brother! Brother! What's wrong?"

He slowly opened his eyes. In front of him were his sister and Li Fan's worried faces. He was lying on the bed, his whole body soaked in cold sweat.

He shook his slightly drowsy head, and the overwhelming sleepiness he had just felt vanished. He looked at his sister on the bed and asked with some confusion.

"what happened?"

Wu Xin looked anxious.

"You had just lain down when you suddenly turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. We both noticed something was wrong with you, so we woke you up."

Wuyin looked down at her palm and saw only a wound that had already been bandaged.

Has the cycle of rebirth changed, or was everything just a dream?

Wuyin shook her head.

Each previous cycle was a rebirth after death.

But just now, although he was in excruciating pain all over his body, he knew he was not dead at all.

Chapter 212 The Lost Voice

Therefore, it is very likely that you were too stressed and had a dream that was too realistic.

But it's also possible that this dream is foreshadowing something.

He looked down at the large bed beneath him, the image of that dark figure flashing through his mind, and suddenly, he froze.
