Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Wuyin's eyes lit up.

Isn't that a coincidence?

He was worried about not knowing the owner of the body buried in the garden when a soul drifted over and said it was looking for a body. Perhaps this skinless corpse was the one buried in the garden.

He already had the answer in his heart, so he glanced at the skinless man and said.

"There's no time to lose, let me wake up first, then we'll go find your body tonight."

The voice of the skinless man also carried a hint of joy.

"it is good!"

……

Wuyin, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head to look at the side of the bed, where the skinless man was staring at him with his eyelid-less eyes.

The skinless person in front of her was much paler than her body in the dream; it was clear that she was now just a soul.

Nevertheless, the sight of an eye without eyelids staring at Wuyin sent a chill down Wuyin's spine.

He rubbed his temples helplessly, sat up in bed, and gestured to the skinless man with his eyes.

"Let's go."

The skinless man nodded and quickly left the small room.

Wuyin glanced at Li Fan and Wuxin beside her, choosing not to wake them. She quietly put on her coat and shoes and followed the skinless man out of the room.

The two arrived at the backyard in no time.

Wuyin went straight to the small garden and turned to the skinless man beside her to speak.

"There's a body buried under this garden. Dig it up yourself and see if it's your body."

Upon hearing this, the skinless person turned to look at Wuyin, her mouth opening and making incoherent sounds, though it was unclear what she was saying. Her expression showed a hint of urgency.

Wuyin frowned as she spoke.

"What, you think it's dirty and don't want to dig it, or do you want me to dig it for you?"

The skinless woman hurriedly shook her head, gesturing with her hands, but Wuyin couldn't understand what she was trying to say at all.

Seeing Wuyin's somewhat impatient expression, the skinless man finally sighed and was about to float forward when Wuyin suddenly raised her hand, holding a scalpel horizontally in front of her.

"Don't try to lure me into a dream here. It's very dangerous here. If you do, I'll kill you right now."

Chapter 222 The Dean's Wife Appears at Night

The skinless woman's body suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a moment, she squatted down and dug into the soil with both hands.

Soon after, a human face gradually emerged from the soil.

Upon closer inspection, Wuyin was surprised to find that the face showed no signs of decay and had a nose and eyes, but the entire face was covered in mud, making it impossible to tell whose face it was.

But when he saw this face, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this face countless times before, and an urgent sense of curiosity arose from the bottom of his heart.

The skinless woman stopped digging at the face, then stood up, pointed at the face in the garden, and waved her hands to indicate that the corpse in the garden was not hers.

Wuyin seemed to understand what Wupiren had initially wanted to convey to him.

The garden was such an obvious place to hide a body, the Skinless Man must have searched it long ago, and gave up after finding it wasn't hers. That's why she wanted to explain when Wuyin asked her to dig it up again.

Seeing that Wuyin understood his meaning, the skinless man began to cover the face with mud again.

But Wuyin said something.

"Wait, don't bury it yet."

He squatted down, looked at the incredibly familiar face, and, ignoring the stench of the mud, reached out and wiped the mud off the face.

When that face was fully revealed, Wuyin's mind went completely blank, and she had no idea what to think.

He felt that the whole world was somewhat unreal, and that he was like an ornamental fish trapped in a fish tank.

The dead man lying in the mud had a pale face and his skin was slightly wrinkled, but the familiar nose, the familiar lips, and everything familiar told Wuyin that it was his own face!

"Is this... telling me how I'm going to end up?"

Silently muttering to himself, his brows furrowed tightly, his brain frantically processing the information of the scene before him.

But he quickly composed himself, realizing that his future should be decided by himself, not by a corpse that had grown into his likeness from the soil.

He looked at the human face in the mud again and couldn't help but feel a chill, but after thinking it through, he wasn't so resistant anymore.

He soon discovered another, even stranger place in the soil.

He pointed to the half-rotated foot protruding from the dug-out soil next to the face and spoke to the skinless man.

“There is definitely more than one corpse down here, because this corpse is facing up, and no matter how its feet are positioned, it is impossible for it to rotate 180 degrees, let alone appear next to its face, so there must be other corpses down here.”

The skinless man thought for a moment, nodded, and continued digging into the soil beneath the corpse.

Sure enough, another corpse was dug up by the Skinless Man soon after, but the Skinless Man shook his head when he saw the appearance of the corpse.

This body is not hers either.

Wu Yin stepped forward, but after just one glance, he was already quite certain that the corpse was still his.

Furthermore, several hands appeared next to the body, clearly indicating that there was more than one of his corpses below.

He would overthink when he saw a corpse that looked exactly like him, but when he saw so many corpses, he felt relieved.

If one appears, it's very likely that it's him from the future or the past, but if two appear, then it must be a strange phenomenon created by the Rules of Strange Tales, after all, it's not a wholesale product from a factory.

Wuyin shook his head and said to the skinless man, "It seems there is no body here. Bury it."

The skinless man nodded and quickly filled the soil in the small garden, then put all the little flowers back in their original positions.

Just then, Wuyin suddenly heard a very faint footstep. He quickly stared at the skinless man, his tone serious and urgent.

"Hurry, someone's coming!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the hem of a blue dress was revealed at the corner of the orphanage wall; it was the dress worn by the director's wife.

The two were still some distance from the other corner of the orphanage. Although they could run there in time, the noise they made while running would give them away in the quiet of the night.

However, there was absolutely no shelter in the rest of the orphanage's backyard.

Without hesitation, Wuyin quickly walked towards another corner of the orphanage, trying to keep her steps as light as possible. Then she turned around and pressed herself against the wall, trying to keep her breathing as quiet as possible.

Although subtle sounds are amplified at night, in the pitch black, the dean's wife might not even notice his fleeting figure in the distance.

He listened intently to the dean's wife's footsteps. He heard that her footsteps seemed to be heading towards the small garden, and he instantly felt relieved, but then some doubt arose in his heart.

What is the dean's wife doing in the small garden so late at night?

Wuyin turned her head and quietly glanced outside the wall.

Sure enough, the dean's wife was now squatting beside the small garden, carefully observing her flowers.

Her voice was gentle as she spoke softly to the flowers in the small garden.

But because of the distance and the softness of her voice, Wuyin couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

A few minutes later, he saw the Dean's wife stand up and then quickly turn her head to look in his direction.

The moment she turned her head, Wuyin had already pulled back the half of her eye that was exposed and held her breath.

"Da...da..."

The dean's wife's footsteps sounded, one step at a time, very slowly and rhythmically.

Moreover, the footsteps were getting closer and closer to Wuyin.

Wuyin frowned deeply.

He had already shrunk back the moment the dean's wife turned her head, so there was absolutely no way she could have seen him.

And it's absolutely impossible that the dean's wife discovered him from the beginning.

Putting aside whether her night vision is actually that good, even if it is good enough to see a fleeting figure in the distance at night, she wouldn't run to see the flowers immediately.

Could it be...?

Wuyin had a startling guess in her mind.

She was talking to the flowers, then turned and walked over. Did the flowers tell her where she was?

Those flowers also looked very strange.

However, these are not the points we are thinking about right now, because the Dean's wife is getting closer and closer.

Wuyin gripped the scalpel tightly in her hand, waiting vigilantly for the arrival of the dean's wife.

But the footsteps stopped at the corner of the wall.

Wuyin's eyes sharpened, and his heart pounded wildly like a drum.

"Beep—beep beep."

Just then, an extremely faint sound rang out in the dead of night, a sound like that of a machine in operation.

Chapter 223 Liu Yan

The moment the "beep beep" sound rang out, the dean's wife's footsteps also stopped.

A few seconds later, the footsteps sounded again, this time more hurried, and the footsteps were getting further and further away from Wuyin.

Wuyin breathed a slight sigh of relief, her tense body relaxed, and she whispered to the skinless man behind her.

"I feel like we've been exposed. Let's go back today. We can talk about your body tomorrow."

no respond.

There was complete silence behind him.

He frowned and turned around to see Liu Yan standing behind him, a sinister smile on her face, while the skinless man had vanished long ago.

His body tensed up again, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

What are you doing here so late?

Liu Yan didn't speak, and didn't care at all about the malice Wu Yin was showing her. Instead, she moved even closer to him.
