Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Wu Xin suddenly realized that she might have been thinking too narrowly about her brother.

Perhaps because her brother always refused her requests in order to protect her, she lacked the confidence to ask him about things he hadn't told her.

Thinking of this, she looked at Li Fan.

Although Li Fan followed her brother on adventures and experienced life-and-death crises, she still envied her brother Li Fan somewhat.

Because her brother only saw Li Fan as a comrade-in-arms, while treating her as a younger sister who needed protection.

She didn't actually want to always hide behind her brother; she could walk alongside him.

……

When Wuyin went to the kitchen to get food, she saw Liu Yan also come to the kitchen.

The dean's wife looked at Liu Yan's arm with some surprise and asked.

"Xiao Yan, what happened to you? How badly are you injured? Should we go to the hospital?"

Liu Yan shook her head and answered softly.

"It's nothing, I just bumped into the wall by accident."

Wu Yin didn't continue watching the scene that Liu Yan had specially put on for him. Instead, he took two breakfasts and quickly returned to his room.

When he opened the door, he found two pairs of eyes staring straight at him, their gazes filled with a hint of inquiry.

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"what happened?"

Li Fan walked up and asked directly.

"Brother, why didn't you scold that green tea bitch today?"

Wu Yin sighed helplessly. He knew that his behavior was so different from before that his sister would definitely be confused.

He had originally planned to tell them what happened last night in the backyard, since it wasn't safe to talk about it here, but he didn't expect that the two of them would already be talking about him behind his back.

He casually placed two breakfasts on the table, and a third breakfast appeared right next to it.

He sat down, picked up a piece of bread from his plate, and started eating as he spoke.

"Let's eat first, we can talk about anything in the backyard."

Li Fan and Wu Xin both nodded, and the three of them began to enjoy breakfast.

Soon after they finished breakfast, they went to the backyard of the orphanage together.

Wuyin told the two of them everything that had happened the night before.

Wu Xin then realized that this was the reason for her brother's unusual behavior.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Brother, I actually think Liu Yan isn't someone we can't use, after all, she knows much more information than we do."

Wuyin nodded.

"Of course I know. The information she deliberately revealed was an opportunity for her to show me her power, hoping I would be eager to beg her to be my sister."

Moreover, I also know something else. I suspect that she actually had no choice but to cooperate with us. Otherwise, given the secrets she knows, there would be no need for her to take such a huge risk to come to me.

It's highly likely that she has some benefit she absolutely needs from me, and if she doesn't get it, she'll suffer an unbearable price, such as death.

Li Fan listened from the side, completely confused.

"No, shouldn't we be looking for the corpses of the skinless people right now? Why are we talking about extinction?"

Wuyin looked at Li Fan and shrugged helplessly.

“You’re right. Our main task now is to find the body of the skinless person. She said her body is in the backyard, but even so, it will be very difficult for us to find it.”

It might be buried in the ground in the backyard, or sealed inside the backyard wall; these are not places that are easy to find, and they also require some tools.

In short, apart from the flowers and some old playground equipment, I didn't see anything else on the ground in the backyard.

Chapter 225 Space Walker

Upon hearing Wuyin's words, Li Fan's gaze also fell upon the old amusement equipment.

Their surfaces are somewhat old, but the wear and tear shows that people often played here.

But... from yesterday to today, he hasn't seen anyone playing on it.

On the outermost space walker, two pedals were swaying back and forth in the wind, as if someone was standing on them and gently swinging.

Li Fan turned around and said to the two of them.

“It seems like we’ve never paid attention to these old amusement rides before. I’ll go over to the rides and see if there are any clues on them.”

"it is good."

Wu Xin nodded, and then she and Wu Yin went to explore the walls and the ground.

Li Fan walked over to the space walker, which was still swaying gently in the wind, showing no signs of stopping.

He carefully examined the marks on it; there were many yellow spots, wear and tear, and even rust, but it was much better than the large swathes of completely rusted scrap iron he had seen when he first entered the orphanage.

He observed for a while but found nothing, so he had to give up.

Just as he was about to turn around and explore with Wuyin, a bright light suddenly shone into his eyes.

He frowned and turned around sharply. The space walker was still swaying slowly, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and examined the space walker in front of him again carefully.

However, just like before, we really couldn't find any clues.

At this moment, Li Fan wondered if he had just imagined it, but when he turned his head again, another bright light flashed into his eyes.

He was a little angry this time and turned around to shout loudly.

"Who is it? Who's playing tricks?"

The sound startled Wuxin and Wuyin, who both came over.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Li Fan saw the two people next to him and pointed to the space walker in front of him.

"Someone was standing here and shining a flashlight in my eyes, but when I turned around, the person was gone."

Wuyin's expression turned serious upon hearing this.

When was it?

Li Fan recounted what had just happened.

"When I was exploring this space walker, nothing seemed amiss, but as I turned away, a ray of light shone into my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Wuyin pondered for a moment, then spoke in a very serious tone.

"Li Fan, stay here and don't move."

Hearing Wuyin's serious tone, Li Fan realized something was wrong and obediently stood still, not moving.

After thinking for a while, Wuyin made a request to Li Fan.

"Try turning around and leaving again, just like you did before, but don't move your feet."

Li Fan was a little confused, but he still followed Wu Yin's instructions and turned his head as if to leave, but the light shone into his eyes again.

Wuyin noticed a glint of light reflected in Li Fan's eyes and immediately spoke up.

"Stop, don't move."

Li Fan also stopped, without looking back at the unusual light.

But precisely because of this, Li Fan caught a glimpse of the source of the light out of the corner of his eye; it was light reflected from the inside of the space walker.

Li Fan quickly spotted the reflective spot and walked up to the space walker.

The wind stopped at this point, and the foot pedals of the space walker stopped shaking.

He crouched down and found the reflective spot, which was below the handshake on the space walker.

Li Fan gently raised his hand, touched the reflective spot with his finger, and then looked closely at it. It was a pale yellow oil stain.

He raised his finger and held the oil stain to his nose, only to find that it had no smell at all.

He frowned and raised his hand to show Wuyin and Wuxin.

Wu Xin looked at Li Fan's fingers with some confusion.

"Why are there oil stains on the bottom of the space walker? Could it be machine oil that someone used to lubricate the friction points?"

At this moment, Li Fan and Wu Yin's rich experience led them to speak in unison.

"It's corpse oil."

When Li Fan heard that Wu Yin had made the same analysis as him, he looked up at his elder brother with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"But corpse oil usually has a strong, foul odor, but this oil doesn't. Could we be mistaken?"

Wuyin narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the space walker.

"This oil didn't appear at the machine's friction points, but instead appeared below the handle of the astronaut, which proves that it's not ordinary oil."

Wu Xin's expression changed several times as she listened to Wu Yin's analysis, but she finally forced herself to remain calm and spoke.

"Since you say this is corpse oil, does that mean a corpse was moving around on it when we weren't looking?"

"Moreover, the oil stain is not above the handle, but below it. If there really was a corpse moving on it, then his hand would be gripping the handle backwards."

At this point, everyone can picture it in their minds.

A highly decomposed corpse, covered in grease, stood on the space walker, its hands gripping the handles behind its back, swaying back and forth with a bizarre expression.

"Don't scare yourself."

Wuyin squatted down and carefully examined the foot pedals of the space walker, but there were no oil stains on the foot pedals.

There were no other oil stains anywhere else, except for the area below the handle of the space walker.

He stroked his chin before finally speaking.
