Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Now we should resolve all the current difficulties, and the fog ahead will dissipate on its own.

Hearing Wuyin's words, Wuxin felt much better and found some comfort.

Her expression turned serious, and she began to sort through all the clues in her mind.

"Based on all the clues we have found, our most important task now is to unravel the following two mysteries, which are also the most obvious ones we have discovered so far."

First, where exactly is the skin of the skinless person?

Second, where is the seriously ill hospital director? If the director is truly dead, what about his soul?

When Li Fan heard the second question, it seemed to trigger something in his mind.

He recalled everything that had just happened and suddenly spoke.

"Brother, do you remember? Just now, behind the door, that dog kept sniffing at my legs and only barked at me, ignoring you."

Upon hearing Li Fan's words, Wu Yin immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Do you mean to say..."

"Ah."

Li Fan nodded.

“I’ve worn the dean’s skin, so I definitely have the dean’s scent on me, but you don’t. Maybe that’s why the big yellow dog barked at me.”

That means the dog must have known some clues about the dean.

Wuyin recalled the scene, and it was indeed like that.

"However, it's a bit difficult to quietly bring the dog down from the second floor now, so we can do that later."

In comparison, the first problem should be easier to solve. No matter what, her skin must be in this orphanage. As long as we follow all the clues, we'll definitely find her.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a knock sounded on the door.

The person knocking on the door was very soft, as if they had no strength at all.

The room fell silent.

Wuyin turned her head, her eyes coldly fixed on the door that had been knocked on.

He walked over, opened the door, and saw Lin Yi standing outside.

Lin Yi raised his head, his bangs partially obscuring his eyes, making him look quite gloomy.

However, compared to how he looked when he was being beaten by others earlier, his current expression seems much more normal.

Lin Yi's throat bobbed up and down, his voice hoarse.

"Let me in, and I can tell you everything I know."

Wuyin raised an eyebrow and turned to gesture for him to come in.

He hadn't expected this person to choose to join them so quickly.

However, we still need to see whether this person is sincere or not.

When Lin Yi came in, Wu Yin closed the door, moved a stool over, and placed it next to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi sat down on the stool with great restraint. He saw Wu Xin's gaze, and a hint of unease flashed in his eyes. He turned his face to the side.

“I know you are all on guard against me now, so I will get straight to the point.”

The four of us in the orphanage received the same instruction: if Wuyin successfully completed this ghost story, all four of us would be completely wiped out.

Wuyin found this quite interesting.

"Since all four of you will be wiped out if I clear this mystery, you should cooperate with the others to prevent me from clearing the mystery, or even kill me, just like you did in the beginning."

Then why are you telling me all this now?

Lin Yi met Wu Yin's extremely sharp gaze and buried his head deeply.

"I can't say more because of certain restrictions that prevent me from speaking out."

But the reason I've come to you is because I don't want to live, I don't want to live like this.

Li Fan almost burst out laughing when he heard this. This lie was too obvious. Who wouldn't want to live?

Wu Xin heard Lin Yi's answer and looked puzzled. She seemed to be asking herself.

"If that's your reason, then what's Liu Yan's reason?"

Someone like Liu Yan wouldn't risk her life to help us, would she?

Looking at Wu Xin, Li Fan suddenly realized that neither of the siblings was good; they were both full of bad intentions.

This statement, seemingly a question, actually revealed to Lin Yi that Liu Yan had also joined them.

Firstly, we can observe Lin Yi's reaction to determine whether he is genuine or an undercover agent.

If Lin Yi was putting on an act for them, then he would reveal to the others that Liu Yan had betrayed them.

He could judge whether Lin Yi had exposed their information by observing the changes in how others treated Liu Yan.

If Lin Yi truly wanted to die, he might offer an answer, or he might remain silent.

After all, Liu Yan is also not trustworthy, so it's not a bad deal to send her out as intelligence.

Another point is that if what Lin Yi just said is true, then it is certain that Liu Yan definitely has some other purpose.

The likelihood of someone like her wanting to commit suicide is practically zero.

Lin Yi bit his lip and slowly raised his eyes to meet Wu Xin's gaze.

This was the first time he had made eye contact with Wu Xin, and his eyes betrayed his undisguised jealousy.

"She came to seek refuge with you."

Wu Xin, who had been watching the show with amusement, was dumbfounded when she heard Lin Yi's words and pointed at herself.

"Because of me? What happened to me?"

Lin Yi chuckled as he looked at Wu Xin, who was being protected and even seemed a bit naive and innocent.

He stood up and slowly approached Wuxin, his voice filled with lamentation over the injustice of the world.

Do you really think there's anything different about you compared to the four of us orphans?

You are actually the same kind of person as the four of us. We should all live the same kind of life, and the ending should be a tragic death!

However, he chose you as his companion, so you are doing better than everyone else, and you don't have to die.

I really... envy you...

Chapter 233 Liu Yan's Visit

Wuyin stood up, took a step forward, and stood between the two.

He looked down at Lin Yi with cold eyes, a hint of murderous intent emanating from him.

Li Fan also stood up and stood on the other side of Wuyin, and the two of them blocked Lin Yi together.

"I understand, you can go now."

The sound was harsh, as if it were squeezed out from between the teeth.

With his vision obstructed, Lin Yi regained some of his composure.

He looked up at the two people who were protecting Wuxin like a little princess, his eyes filled with undisguised jealousy.

But soon, he lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes, clenched his fists, and turned to leave the room.

The room fell silent once more the moment the door closed.

Wuyin watched Lin Yi's departing figure and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

It seems I can sometimes make mistakes in my judgment.

It turns out that Lin Yi's unnatural expression when he saw Wu Xin was not due to any other emotion, but because of jealousy.

Extremely jealous.

So jealous that he couldn't control the emotions in his eyes whenever he made eye contact with Wuxin.

Having such a ticking time bomb around is really a headache.

But he did provide some useful information, so let's spare his life a little longer.

Fortunately, his wish was to die, and under special circumstances, Wuyin didn't mind helping him out.

Wu Xin reached out and rested her chin on her hand, tilting her head to look at Wu Yin.

"So what Lin Yi just said meant that whoever you choose as your sister will be spared from dying?"

Wuyin lowered his head, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

"That sounds like it, and everything seems to be getting more and more complicated."

He walked to the bedside, lay down, closed his eyes, and whispered.

"I'm going to contact the Skinless Man now. You two guard the dormitory door during this time and make sure no one else comes in."

Li Fan and Wu Xin both responded.

Upon hearing the response, Wuyin closed his eyes and silently chanted "Skinless Man" in his heart.

Soon, the familiar dizziness returned, and he found himself once again in that void.

The skinless man stood before him, staring at him nervously, seemingly still apologizing for what had happened that morning.

“I really felt my skin in the backyard last night, I’m not lying to you.”

Wuyin actually knew that the person without skin was unlikely to lie to her, after all, she was the one who was most anxious about losing her skin.

He carefully considered everything that had happened in the backyard from last night to this morning. The human skin wouldn't have slipped away for no reason; it must have been taken away by someone.

Or... be worn and taken away by someone.

Besides him, two other people had been to the backyard: Liu Yan and the dean's wife.

However, Liu Yan remained standing in the corner and did not go directly into the backyard. Instead, the dean's wife not only went directly into the backyard but also disturbed the flowers and soil.

Thinking of this, Wuyin asked.
