Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Even though this was his familiar hometown, it was still in a bizarre dungeon, and the low-level monsters in the previous dungeons couldn't see him at all.

and so……

The two exchanged a glance; this big cowwoman was definitely not simple.

But they had no other clues at the moment, so they could only hurry up and explore other areas.

Wuyin wandered through the entire village, where there were only a few scattered elderly people.

Unlike Da Niu Niang, these old people seemed completely oblivious to the two of them, preoccupied with their own affairs.

Without disturbing them, Wuyin walked straight to the pond in the center of the village.

From the moment he first saw this pool, he felt it carried a hint of eeriness. He never expected that this strange tale would bring him directly to this village, so he decided to investigate.

Approaching the pool, it was clearly stagnant water, and it was particularly black and smelly when I saw it yesterday, but in the ghost story, it was crystal clear.

From afar, a layer of mist could be seen floating on the water, and many red mushrooms with white spots were growing on the edge of the pool.

But as the two got closer, they noticed that the white patterns on the mushroom looked rather strange.

There is a black straight line in the middle of the white dot, and some skin flakes above and below it.

"What kind of mushroom is this? It looks rather ugly."

Li Fan curiously leaned closer to take a closer look, and the black line suddenly opened, revealing an eyeball inside. After turning around, it locked onto him.

Li Fan was so startled that he jumped back a great distance, but this startled all the mushrooms. The black lines on their white spots all opened up, revealing their round eyeballs, and they all stared at Li Fan.

Suddenly, Li Fan spotted something in the mushroom grove. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Wuyin shout.

"Run!"

Wuyin noticed that the white fog on the lake was getting thicker and thicker, and the scenery in the fog was blurry, but she could vaguely see many black things suddenly emerging from the water.

He didn't have time to think further and could only take Li Fan away from here first.

Although Li Fan didn't know why Wu Yin suddenly told him to run away, he knew that Wu Yin never did anything meaningless, so he ran after her without thinking.

But as he ran, he told Wuyin what he had just discovered, panting as he shouted.

"Paper...note!"

Upon hearing this, Wuyin slowed her pace and looked back at the pool behind her. Seeing that the pool was already far away from the two of them and that nothing strange was chasing after them, she stopped.

"What note? Where did you find it?"

Li Fan also stopped and pointed behind him.

"Just now, when all the mushrooms' eyes were open, a note suddenly fell down from the middle of the mushroom grove. I was just about to tell you when you yelled at me to run away."

When the mushroom opens its eyes, will the note fall off?

Upon hearing this, Wuyin stroked his chin and pondered.

But when Mushroom opened all its eyes, not only did the surrounding scenery change, but it also felt a sense of panic, as if something uncontrollable was about to happen.

But the note is indeed a very important item in the mystery of the rules, and it must be obtained.

It seems that one person has to attract the mushroom's attention while the other person goes to retrieve the note.

Thinking of this, Wuyin suddenly thought of someone.

It seems I'll have to ask my partner for a good help with this mission.

The matter was thus amicably decided.

Wuyin decided to first go and check out the outskirts of the village.

After all, the quest conditions for this dungeon are extremely simple, consisting of only four words: escape the village. There are no requirements such as exploring the village's secrets.

However, the simpler the task, the harder it is to complete.

Lost in thought, the two had reached the outskirts of the village, and the scene before them was completely different from when they first came here yesterday.

The village's outskirts were lifeless when I first saw them, but in this ghost story instance, the village's outskirts are covered with trees, though every single one looks withered and decaying.

Wuyin turned to ask Li Fan beside her.

How did you manage to leave this village before?

Li Fan replied.

"When I was very young, I remember that when adults went down the mountain, they would go in groups, carrying these plants, and several people would go up the mountain together."

There were many trees here back then, making it easy to get lost. This was to ensure that I wouldn't lose my way.

The village prospered for a while afterward, and even built a cable car to go up and down the mountain.

But actually, once you climb over the mountain that surrounds the village, the rest of the road is much easier to travel.

However, one thing that I find a little strange is that, because this village has always been very poor, I don't know why, suddenly they had the money to build a cable car.

Wuyin nodded. He knew that escaping the village would not be as simple as just walking out, but he still tried anyway.

He reached out and grabbed a dead branch from a tree growing at an angle on the mountain, only to find that the branch was exceptionally fragile and broke easily with the slightest force.

But the mountain path is extremely steep, and you can't climb it without grabbing onto something for support.

It seems we need to uncover the village's secrets before we can truly escape.

Wuyin suddenly remembered the dream he had last night. In the dream, he appeared in this village, and he wondered if the merchant and the ostrich were related to the secrets of this village.

Because he rarely dreams, and yesterday's dream was unusually vivid.

He turned back and asked Li Fan.

Have any merchants from your village ever come to sell ostrich meat?

Li Fan scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Ostrich meat? I've never seen or eaten it. As for whether any merchants sell it, I don't know, probably because I left the village a long time ago."

Wuyin nodded, but the doubts in her heart remained.

Li Fan's knowledge was ultimately limited, so he might as well try to probe the village elders.

On the other side, Commander Red Dragon had already seen Wuyin speaking to the live stream in the ghost story and had someone take care of his sister.

After all, he was a chosen one who served the country and its people, so Commander Red Dragon quickly arranged for private medical care to look after his sister.

When the private doctor arrived at Wuyin's villa, he found Wuxin sitting in the room perfectly fine, and her fever had subsided.

After examining Wuxin and confirming that there were no problems, the doctor prescribed some medicine to help her recover from her cold, gave her a few more instructions, and then left.

But after he left, Wuxin's eyes suddenly lost their light, becoming numb and dull.

Chapter 74 Methods to Escape the Village

the other side.

Barton looked around the village but couldn't find a way out; all he saw were steep slopes and withered branches.

But there are many villagers in this village, and they can't live in these mountains forever. There must be some way for them to get out.

Patton decided to use the simplest and most direct method: to bribe the villagers with money to get them to tell him some information.

Right behind him was a villager feeding chickens.

He straightened his clothes, took off his Rolex watch, and walked over to the villager feeding the chickens.

However, the villager feeding the chickens didn't seem to see him, as he was focused on feeding his chickens.

Patton is always the center of attention, but today he was ignored by several people, which made him a little annoyed, so he reached out and patted the villager on the shoulder.

The villagers finally realized that someone had been watching them feed the chickens. They looked puzzled and frightened. Could this person be some kind of pervert?

"you are?"

Barton coughed twice, patted off imaginary dust, and then held out his hand to show the villagers the gleaming Rolex watch in his hand before speaking.

"I want to ask you a few questions, and in exchange, I can give you this watch."

When the villagers saw the Rolex watch, although they didn't recognize its value, they knew that only wealthy families could afford such a watch.

He could sell it at the market and maybe get 2000 yuan for it. That's only 2000 yuan a year for him.

He looked at the watch, his eyes lighting up with excitement, as if he had suddenly been struck by money.

The villager swallowed hard, then looked up from his watch at Barton and boasted.

"What do you want to ask? There's nothing in this village that I don't know."

Patton nodded in satisfaction, shook his watch, and then asked.

"If you were going to town, how did you leave this village?"

"Leave the village?"

The man seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. Instead of answering Barton's question first, he asked, "What is this?"

Why are you leaving the village?

Seeing the change in the man's expression, Barton seemed to realize that bringing up this matter might put him in danger, so he told a lie.

“Oh, it’s my friend who came with me. He said he was leaving the village, not me. I think this village is beautiful and I really like it here.”

The farmer's furrowed brow relaxed, but he still had some doubts and continued to ask questions.

Which friend are you referring to?

Patton's eyes darted around, and he spoke carefully.

"It's that man wearing a pure white long-sleeved shirt, with a black shirt jacket over it, and black straight-leg pants."

He described it in great detail, which would give the villagers a clear objective and completely dispel their suspicions about him.

Secondly, he also wanted to see what methods the villagers would use if someone tried to escape from the village.

After all, the villager seemed rather dull, and he was quite curious about the matter.

Besides, Wuyin left this strange tale intending to escape the village anyway, so what he said was true.

The villager thought for a moment and then answered.

"You can leave the village."
