Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

The ground trembled even more violently; the place was about to collapse.

Wuyin decisively tied the hemp rope tightly around himself.

Fortunately, the rope was long enough to extend from the window all the way into the mud pit.

He grabbed the rope with one hand, slowly slid into the hole, then pushed off with both legs and swung the rope forcefully.

When the rope swung to the top of the metal cabinet, Wuyin suddenly let go and knelt down on one knee next to Richard.

He hoisted the unconscious Richard onto his shoulder and then used both hands to climb upwards.

The top of the metal cabinet wasn't too far from the opening, but Wuyin was carrying someone on his shoulder, which slowed him down.

Gravel kept falling from the walls, and the entire cave was on the verge of collapse.

Wuyin's hands were blistered, but he gritted his teeth and increased his climbing speed.

"Boom!"

The ground in the back garden suddenly collapsed, creating a huge mud pit.

The two were buried in the ground.

Paige was also attracted by the loud noise.

Wuyin poked her head out of the mound, stood up, and patted the dirt off her body.

Fortunately, it was very close to the cave entrance, so even when the cave collapsed, it was only covered with a thin layer of soil.

As he reached out to help Richard up, he noticed Page standing beside the crater, staring intently at him.

"What were you just doing, George?"

Chapter 28 Richard's Scheme

Wuyin was still bound by a rope extending down from the corner of the second-floor window, a sight that was indeed difficult for him to explain.

Paige didn't ask him what happened, she just said it casually.

"Don't stay out all the time if you don't have anything to do. Come home early for dinner."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

Seeing that she had left, Wuyin helped Richard up and patted the dust off him.

Richard gradually opened his eyes as well.

"Did I hang up...?"

Wuyin rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

Why does this guy always say such unpleasant things as soon as he opens his mouth?

"No, you're perfectly fine."

Wuyin said calmly.

Richard then realized that Wuyin was still beside him and immediately felt a little guilty.

"Um... I have something to tell you, but you can't get angry, okay?"

"what's up."

Wuyin's voice turned serious upon hearing this.

"Is there something wrong with the mother pig's soul?"

"No, it's just that the key you gave me is still in the secret room."

Richard scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, but his eyes remained fixed on Wuyin's expression.

Wu Yin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this.

If something happens to the pig mother's soul, this ghost story will likely fail.

Compared to this, losing your keys is really not a big deal.

Moreover, it was an emergency, so Wuyin understood; as long as no one was seriously injured, that was all that mattered.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Let's meet at school tomorrow morning. I have something to tell you."

Richard didn't understand why Wuyin had to go to school to assemble, but he just nodded.

After all, his brain isn't as sharp as Wuyin's; he can just listen.

After Richard left, Wuyin also returned home.

Paige had already prepared dinner and was sitting at the table waiting for him.

Dinner was pasta.

Paige didn't seem to like the bowl of pasta; she just propped her chin up with her hand and stirred the noodles with her fork, looking quite distressed.

She said, "George, we've finished all the meat dishes for today, so you'll have to make do with this for now. We'll be able to have something better when Mom and Dad come back."

Wuyin was secretly delighted and felt no resentment at all.

Perhaps the meat in the iron cabinet in the secret room was replaced, which is why there was no continuous supply of pork.

However, he didn't care what the truth was, as long as he wasn't forced to eat pork.

He hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, so he quickly finished the tomato pasta on the table.

He needs to conserve his energy for tomorrow's actions.

There's going to be a tough battle tomorrow.

The effect of the strawberry that increased his mental energy in the morning had already worn off. Wuyin wanted to eat another one, but Peiqi was right next to him, so he couldn't do it and had to give up for the time being.

After finishing his meal, he quickly washed up and went back to his bedroom upstairs.

Two figures, one in red and one in blue, were whispering to each other in the bedroom.

Wuyin sat down on the edge of the bed, holding a dinosaur plush toy, and asked.

"Daddy Pig, what's the result of the matter I asked you to investigate this afternoon?"

The father pig's eyes were serious as he answered in a low voice.

"Yes, George's soul is indeed in Richard's house, but it's locked in the basement."

“I don’t know where the key is, but you’re right about one thing: Richard’s house is really empty except for him.”

Wuyin nodded and continued making the arrangements.

"Tomorrow you go to the school and stall Richard, I'll go and rescue George's soul."

Mother Pig grasped Wuyin's hands, looked at George's appearance, and couldn't help but shed two hot tears, her voice trembling slightly.

"Please, please save George. He's only a year and a half old. He must be terrified."

Daddy Pig shook his head and sighed, his eyes reddening, muttering to himself.

“I used to think Richard was a good person. He always helped me at school, but I never imagined he… would be this kind of person. Why did he lock up my poor George…”

Wuyin said to the two of them, "Don't worry, get some rest. I will definitely bring George back tomorrow."

The two exchanged a glance and nodded, understanding that saying anything more now would be useless; conserving their energy was the priority.

The two then attached themselves to the silent dinosaur doll. Seeing that there were no side effects from them attaching themselves to the doll, the silent doll simply ignored them.

After all, he needs to carry this doll with him at all times, so it's quite convenient for the two of them.

At this moment, Wuyin quietly opened the door and listened to the noise downstairs.

The sound of water coming from the shower was perfect; Peppa was taking a shower, and now was the perfect opportunity.

Wuyin ran downstairs quietly, took a strawberry from the refrigerator and popped it into her mouth, then quickly returned to her bedroom and closed her eyes to go to sleep.

Before going to bed, he checked his personal information panel. His mental state had only dropped by 5 points today, currently standing at 47%, which was enough to sustain him for tomorrow's activities.

I slept without any dreams.

The next morning at seven o'clock, when the cuckoo alarm clock rang, Wuyin opened her eyes.

Peppa Pig was still snoring in the upper bunk. He quietly got up, put on his shoes, and tried not to disturb Peppa Pig as he walked quietly toward the bedroom door.

Just as Wuyin opened the bedroom door and slipped out, about to close it, the snoring inside the bedroom stopped, followed by Peppa Pig's voice.

"George, where are you going?"

Wuyin paused, then answered softly.

"bathroom."

Peppa Pig on the other side didn't reply; she just turned over and continued snoring.

Wu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, unsure whether she was talking in her sleep or genuinely asking him a question.

He didn't have time to think about it. He quietly closed the door, went downstairs to the refrigerator to eat the last strawberry, and then hurried to Richard's house.

Must be fast.

……

Richard's house.

Wuyin hid by the wall, watching Richard push open the door and walk out.

Richard stretched at the doorway and then looked around.

The silent figure hid further inside.

Richard noticed nothing amiss, humming a tune as he walked toward the school, seemingly in a good mood.

After Richard walked away, Wuyin quickly slipped into his house.

The room was very empty, and as expected, there was no one else there. Wuyin found the basement without much effort.

He pulled a key from his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming.

"Richard, did you think that by hiding the key under the rubble, I would never find it?"

"I admit, you're very good at pretending."

When Richard was rescued earlier, Wuyin saw that he left the key on the bullet lock cylinder of the cabinet, and guessed that he definitely did not want to use the key again.
