Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

He checked the time and realized he had slept until 5 p.m. He planned to take a shower first and then make dinner for his sister.

As I walked out of my room and passed by my sister's room, I suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from inside.

At this moment, Li Fan in the living room also saw Wu Yin stop in front of Wu Xin's door, his expression somewhat strange.

After he walked over, he also heard strange noises coming from the room without a core.

"Bang bang bang!"

It sounded like something was constantly hitting the mattress.

The two exchanged a glance, and Wuyin knocked on the door and called out Wuxin's name a few times, but there was no response from inside.

The strange noise seemed to be getting louder and louder.

Wuyin couldn't care less about that; her sister's safety was more important than privacy.

He immediately pushed the door open and rushed into the house.

Wu Xin lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale, and beads of sweat on her forehead.

What made the two of them gasp for breath was that her hands were stretched out and joined together in the air, as if she had been lifted up by an unseen person.

Even though she was sleeping, her legs would lift up as if she were walking, then fall heavily back onto the bed.

The strange noise heard outside the door was the sound of her heels hitting the bed. Her heels were already red from the impact, but she didn't stop. Instead, the movements became more and more exaggerated.

Wuyin shook Wuxin violently with both hands, shouting her name loudly. Li Fan also walked in with concern.

Just then, Wu Xin suddenly stopped her strange movements, her hands and feet instantly losing their support, and she fell heavily back onto the bed.

Wu Yin touched her and found that she was burning hot and had a fever, so he immediately called a private doctor.

Before long, the private doctor arrived at the villa and took Wuxin's temperature. It was found that she had a fever of 39.5 degrees Celsius and was unresponsive and unconscious.

The private doctor further examined Wu Xin's vital signs and, fortunately, everything else was normal, so he gave her an injection to reduce her fever.

The doctor turned his head and asked, but there was no response.

Where did your sister go today? Did she have a cold before?

Wuyin answered truthfully.

The doctor's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing this.

"Your sister is fine. She probably caught a chill and was frightened by that deserted village, which caused her to have a persistent high fever."

Wu Yin knew in her heart that the doctor could only make such a diagnosis based on scientific principles, but it was very likely that her sister had been affected by the evil energy of that village.

I really shouldn't have taken her this morning.

Wuyin looked at Wuxin, who was pale and sweating profusely, on the bed with some self-reproach.

After observing the patient for a period of time and finding no other abnormalities, the doctor prepared to leave.

Wu Yin then realized that he hadn't changed his clothes, which were soaked with cold sweat. A cold wind blew by, making him shiver.

So he wet a towel with cold water and placed it on Wuxin's forehead. He then instructed Li Fan to keep an eye on her condition and to notify him immediately if anything unusual happened before he prepared to take a shower.

But when he takes a bath, he is always restless, with headaches and weakness in his limbs.

Maybe you caught a cold because you wore clothes soaked with sweat for too long?

He took a cold medicine, changed his sister's towel to a cool one, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in the office of the leader of the Ugly Kingdom, Patton was looking at the coffee cup he had accidentally broken, feeling somewhat uneasy.

I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I'm always acting a bit neurotic, like there's danger about to befall me, as if I've developed paranoia.

He found a band-aid in the drawer, stuck it on his bleeding finger from the shards of a coffee cup, then rubbed his temples, preparing to get a full check-up the next day.

Chapter 71, the Mysterious Village instance, is now open.

No one is destined to sleep soundly tonight.

At six o'clock in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, a mechanical voice reached the ears of people from all over the world.

[The Ghost Village Tales instance has been activated and is now fully loaded...]

[Congratulations to the chosen ones from all countries for triggering the hidden two-player dungeon, The Mysterious Village.]

Difficulty: Unknown

Winning condition: Escape the village

Everyone was startled awake by the sudden mechanical sound, and after realizing what was happening, they were all somewhat puzzled.

After all, people usually enter the ghost stories in the afternoon, and three days after all the chosen ones of the previous ghost story have been settled.

Everyone started complaining.

"How come another ghost story has started after only one day? Don't they give people a chance to breathe?"

"Also, this is the first time I've seen the term 'two-player dungeon.' Does that mean we'll get double the number of Chosen Ones?"

"No, am I the only one who noticed that the difficulty is unknown? Could it be even harder than the Super S-rank difficulty?"

At this moment, Patton was also awakened by the mechanical voice in his luxurious bedroom. After listening to the broadcast, he was furious and slammed his right hand hard on the bed beneath him.

"Fuck, what's the point of playing this game? Let's just destroy everyone!"

After venting his anger, he reluctantly prepared to get up and go to the toilet.

But then he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, followed by a white beam of light enveloping him.

[Barton, the chosen one of the Ugly Kingdom, is currently extracting his talent...]

[Successfully obtained a B-level talent: Swimming Champion]

Soon after, the pillar of light in the leader's lounge of the Ugly Kingdom gradually faded, and Patton disappeared from the spot.

the other side.

Wuyin hadn't slept well all night because he was worried about his younger sister, so when he was awakened by the mechanical sound, he immediately got up to check on her.

Wu Xin slept all day yesterday and has now woken up. She leans slightly against the headboard, her face pale.

Li Fan, unaware of what had happened, had fallen asleep on the floor of his sister's room.

After seeing her brother walk in, Wu Xin spoke softly.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Wuyin frowned, about to say something, when two beams of white light enveloped them.

Soon after, he and Li Fan disappeared from the spot, leaving Wu Xin sitting on the bed with a disappointed look on her face.

It's just me left again...

Patton appeared in a dilapidated hut, his face filled with fear.

He used to think that others were participating in the ghost stories and he just needed to direct them from behind, but he forgot that the probability of the ghost stories selecting the chosen ones is random.

"There are so many people in this ugly country, why did the ghost stories choose me out of all places?!"

He couldn't help but feel a moment of impotent rage, but his rich theoretical experience forced him to calm down and open his personal panel to check the talents he had drawn.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because what he saw made him even angrier.

[Level B Talent Swimming Champion: You're a very good swimmer.]

What's the use of being able to swim? You think you don't have to worry about falling off the Bridge of Helplessness after you die?

……

Forget it.

Barton's eyes suddenly turned fierce. He seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his lips.

The previous broadcast said this was a two-player dungeon, which means there should be two Chosen Ones in this dungeon.

As the leader of the Ugly Kingdom, he could use a combination of coercion and enticement to get another chosen one to share all the information he had gathered with him.

If there is real danger, you can use the other party as a shield.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehehe..."

"If there are no heroes in this ugly country, then I will be the hero."

Thinking about this, he felt he couldn't hold it in any longer and needed to find a place to relieve himself quickly.

Barton looked around. It was quiet outside, and the room was simply furnished. He couldn't find a toilet.

However, his experience watching ghost story live streams told him that going out was very likely to be dangerous, so he decided to just find a container and take care of himself on the spot.

After finishing, he placed the container in the corner of the room, straightened his clothes, and then began to search for the rule slips.

The live stream of Rules of the Strange will protect the privacy of the chosen ones, so the screen will be briefly blacked out when they are showering or using the toilet.

However, since Patton was the leader of the United States, a large number of people flocked to his live stream when it started.

Seeing the yellow liquid inexplicably appear in the cup in Barton's hand, although it is known that he did this for safety reasons in the ghost stories, he was still ridiculed by many netizens due to his special identity.

On the other side, Wuyin and Li Fan also appeared in a small, dilapidated house.

As soon as Wuyin landed, she anxiously spoke quickly into the air in front of her.

"My sister is sick and I need you to find someone to take care of her."

Because they entered the ghost story in such a hurry, Wuyin didn't have time to explain everything.

Fortunately, the ghost stories are all broadcast live, and after the Red Dragon Commander sees this, he will help him take good care of his sister.

After he finished speaking, he was about to explore the small, dilapidated house when he turned around and found Li Fan looking around with his mouth wide open, looking very surprised.

Wuyin asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Fan: "Isn't this the home of the aunt's sister of my third uncle's son in my village?"

Wuyin: "Wait, wait... so you mean, this is your hometown village?"

Wuyin quickly grasped the key word in Li Fan's words: "village".

As he asked the question, his heart pounded with anxiety.
