Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Wuyin walked over and said to Wuxin.

"Under the bed is the monster I killed before, except that its death was rather gruesome."

Wu Xin looked up at her older brother with some surprise, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

"Brother, there was nothing strange just now, how did you know there was something eerie hiding under the bed?"

Wuyin slightly curled the corners of her lips.

"Just practice more. Your brother here is a veteran of countless battles."

Wu Xin rolled her eyes when she heard her brother's words, but she did admire him a little. His perception was indeed very sharp.

After Li Fan had calmed down a bit, Wu Yin's expression turned serious, and she spoke again.

"Everyone, grab your shovels. We now have time to explore the second floor of this house."

"Brother, is time really that tight? My little sister got blisters on her hands while digging up the tree today. Why don't we let her rest tonight and then go upstairs to check on her tomorrow?"

Li Fan glanced at Wu Xin's hand with some concern.

Wuyin naturally knew about his sister's hand condition, but if they didn't go looking for those ghostly things upstairs tonight, those ghostly things would come down to find them.

He had no other choice.

Chapter 215 The Shattered Protective Shield

Wu Xin said to Li Fan to comfort him.

"Brother Li Fan, I'm fine. Besides, this is a strange place with rules, so we can't let our emotions get the better of us. Every second is very important."

Li Fan sighed and conceded.

"Ok."

The three of them followed Wuyin to the stairs on the second floor.

Silently and warily, he spoke to the two people behind him.

"If anything strange floats down from the second floor later, we must stand together, grab our shovels, and knock it outwards, understand?"

The two people behind him nodded.

Wu Xin always felt that her brother seemed to know something in advance, but for some reason, her head started to throb whenever she thought about it.

In order not to worry her two older brothers, she decided that she should stop thinking about this problem.

She closed her eyes, a hint of confusion on her face.

"How strange, how really strange, why is this happening?"

The three looked up and saw a layer of black mist swirling above the stairs to the second floor, as if something extremely dangerous was hidden inside.

Wuyin gently stepped onto the first step. As the wooden steps creaked, the black mist swirling at the top of the second-floor staircase surged down as if a switch had been flipped.

Not only was there black mist, but also a series of hurried footsteps.

A silent shout.

"Watch out! Let's all move closer together!"

Wuyin gripped the large shovel tightly in his hand. When he saw a middle-aged man with empty eyes and blood flowing out of the black mist, he swiftly slammed the shovel down on Grandpa Niu's head.

Grandpa Niu seemed completely unprepared for the fact that he was hit on the head with a shovel as soon as he appeared, and he stood there stunned for a moment.

"Damn little bugs, how can they not understand respect for the elderly and care for the young?"

His expression became somewhat distorted, and he even let out a chilling growl as he accelerated towards Wuyin.

Wuyin watched this scene with a calculating, triumphant smile on her face.

I want you to come at me. If you don't come at me, I'm not willing to fight.

As Grandpa Niu rushed in front of Wuyin, Wuyin swung a shovel directly at his chin.

Although Grandpa Niu's body was rather stiff, he was too fast. He was hit hard on the chin, fell backward, and tumbled to the ground with a thud.

The shovel didn't seriously injure him, but it made his anger level rise rapidly.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! I'm going to kill you!"

Grandpa Niu roared as if he had lost control, and his whole body bounced straight up from the ground as if defying gravity.

But before he could stand up completely, three shovels rained down on his face.

He quickly reached out to block the shovels that were shoveling at his face, but as soon as he did, he fell down again.

The three of them, Wuyin and Wuyin, attacked Grandpa Niu without holding back, using the shovels in their hands.

Before long, Grandpa Niu's entire face was ripped apart by the shovel, his features were distorted and twisted, and he lay on the ground twitching.

Looking at Grandpa Niu convulsing on the ground, Li Fan excitedly spoke to the two people beside him.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever done something so ruthless, peeling someone's face off."

Wuyin looked at the "spoils of war" on the ground with a crazy smile on her face.

"It's okay, you'll try again, because there's more than just this one weird thing."

"The hunt has begun."

He quickly turned around, and sure enough, the sixth man in the black mist was standing straight behind the three of them.

He loved to climb onto people's backs last time, so let him climb all he wants this time!

As Wuyin thought this, a crazy smile crept onto her lips as she stared intently at the person in the dark room.

The man in black mist no longer wore the eerie smile he had shown last time; instead, he appeared fearful.

He didn't walk towards the three of them; in fact, he took a few steps back.

Silently gripping a shovel, radiating murderous intent, he walked step by step toward the man in black mist, as if death were about to descend.

But as soon as he took two steps forward, the man in black mist turned around and disappeared.

"They actually scared us away."

Li Fan crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked at the spot where the black-mist man had been standing with a hint of mockery.

Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"We should be...safe now, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large cloud of black mist surged down from the second-floor doorway, mixed with many messy lines.

When Li Fan saw the familiar black mist, he even stammered a little.

"Holy crap, the Creator, how did he end up here too?"

For Li Fan, the Creator was a rather serious psychological trauma. During the years when Peppa Pig was constantly looping, he didn't know how many times he had been killed by this black, poop-like thing.

Wu Yin stared intently at the chaotic black lines, his brows furrowed, and tried to swing the shovel in his hand at the black mist.

But as he had expected, the shovel was completely ineffective against the tangled black lines and fog.

Fortunately, all the black lines were blocked outside the coreless protective shield and could not harm them.

Li Fan looked at the thick black mist surrounding the protective barrier, and the numerous black lines constantly attacking the barrier and trying to penetrate it. He frowned and said.

"Although he can't hurt us, we can't see the road ahead now."

Wuyin waved her hand.

"It's alright, let's go to the second floor first, at least we can see what's within the protective shield's range. If it keeps bothering us, let it be."

Li Fan felt a little relieved.

"Click".

A cracking sound suddenly rang out. Wu Xin's face turned pale, and she collapsed to her knees, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Li Fan quickly helped Wu Xin up, his face full of anxiety.

"Are you alright, little sister?"

Wu Xin didn't have the strength to answer Li Fan's question, and simply shook her head slightly.

Wuyin saw a crack appear out of thin air, right on the outer edge of the coreless protective shield.

His expression turned sour.

He remembered that after each death and rebirth, the light from the coreless protective shield would become slightly weaker.

Could it be that weakened talent also affects life forms without a core?

Moreover, it seems the protective shield is about to give way to the Creator's attack. If it falls into the cycle again, then...

It could be life-threatening!

As Wuyin thought about this, her face turned even paler, and she even felt a tightness in her chest.

No, absolutely not.

It is precisely in times like these that we must remain calm.

Wu Yin suppressed her worries and stared intently at the group of black lines, her mind racing.

The most important difference between this cycle and the last one is that he dug up the big tree, and this time no leaves fell on his shoulders.

If the leaves represent the cycle, then perhaps they are not in the cycle this time, and if they die, then they should truly be dead.

Chapter 216 Li Fan, King of Desperate Situations

Thinking of this, Wuyin didn't feel nervous at all; instead, her eyes lit up.

If he's not currently in a loop, wouldn't his scalpel be usable normally?

This scalpel carries a trace of the aura of rules; he refused to believe it wouldn't harm the Creator.

Wuyin conjured a scalpel in his hand, gripping the handle tightly, a slight sheen of cold sweat seeping from his palm.

He walked to the edge of the coreless shield, raised his scalpel, and gently drew a line across the messy black lines outside the shield.

The lines cut by the scalpel instantly broke in two, losing their vitality. They no longer rushed around wildly as before, but fell straight to the ground, eventually turning into a faint black mist and disappearing.
