Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Li Fan didn't hear a response from Wuyin, and feeling a little worried, he called out Wuyin's name again.

Wuyin clutched her chest, and after a moment, she let out a soft "hmm".

Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard no sound.

He followed the sound with a worried expression.

What happened to you just now?

He was blind and could only follow the sounds to walk towards Wuyin, but he couldn't pinpoint Wuyin's exact location.

Wuyin paused for a moment before speaking.

"You've gone too far. I'm right behind you."

"Bring the ostrich over here and throw it on the ground for me to see."

Li Fan replied, "Oh, okay."

But when he was about to put the ostrich down, he realized that the ostrich's body temperature seemed a little off, as if it were dying.

He said somewhat nervously, "Brother, it seems like I killed this ostrich by holding it."

After saying that, he gently placed the ostrich on the ground.

Wuyin, standing nearby, felt that Li Fan seemed to have overestimated the strength of an adult male; how could he possibly have killed an ostrich by hugging it?

"fine."

Wuyin weakly squeezed out two words and then looked at the ostrich on the ground.

The ostrich's eyes were closed, its body was cold, and it was completely dead.

Strangely, in the silent dream, all the flesh of the ostrich was cut off, yet the ostrich was still barely alive, its eyes wide open.

Even an ostrich, with its incredible resilience, could be killed by just a wisp of black smoke.

It seems that the black smoke was indeed very powerful; he couldn't imagine the consequences if it had landed on Li Fan.

Wuyin reached out and touched the ostrich carcass; its body was not yet stiff.

But for some reason, when he looked at the ostrich, an indescribable bittersweet feeling welled up in his heart, as if he had some kind of deep affection for the ostrich in the past.

Wuyin couldn't help but gently hug the ostrich to make it warmer. He didn't even know why he was doing something so childish.

Moreover, it wasn't done under the control of some mysterious force, but rather out of genuine reluctance to part with the ostrich.

But the next second, his breathing became rapid and his pupils widened.

The ostrich in her arms was slowly transforming into a small human figure, a little girl of about 10 years old, who was quietly closing her eyes as if she were asleep.

But unlike when she was asleep, her chest did not rise or fall at all.

"No...core..."

Wu Yin could hardly believe his eyes. For some reason, he couldn't make a sound in his throat and could only whisper the name of the little girl in his arms.

"An illusion, isn't it?"

"Hmm, this must be an illusion. Commander Red Dragon must have found my sister. She should be at home eating potato chips right now."

Wuyin kept muttering to himself, trying to reassure himself that the little girl in front of him was just a hallucination, but he still held her tightly in his arms.

Li Fan sensed that something was wrong. Although he was blind, he seemed to have guessed what was going on, and his face stiffened.

What is Wuyin saying to the ostrich about his sister? If the ostrich really is Wuyin's sister, then did he kill Wuxin with his own hands?

Off-screen.

Commander Red Dragon frowned deeply. He dared not think of the worst possible answer, but the fact was that they still hadn't found the coreless device.

He summoned his assistant and had the assistant post a notice with a photo of the missing core:

"A reward of 100 million yuan will be given to anyone who has seen the chipless product and provides clues."

After his assistant left, Honglong gently pressed his fingertips against the bridge of his nose, trying to comfort himself.

"No, no, how could someone from the real world end up in a ghost story instance..."

On the other side, Li Fan sat down next to Wu Yin, wanting to reach out and pat Wu Yin's shoulder, but he didn't dare to do so.

Chapter 85 The Monsters Are Here Again

"Damn it, this is some kind of weird rule."

Li Fan clenched his fists tightly, his face full of regret.

If he had known earlier that the ostrich was heartless, he would have protected her even at the cost of his own life.

Wu Yin knew, of course, that Li Fan hadn't done it on purpose, but he was too exhausted to comfort anyone.

He sat on the ground and held Wuxin quietly for a while, then got up, picked her up, and staggered back to the room in the original dilapidated wooden house.

He placed the cold, lifeless body on the bed in the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, gently patted the blanket with one hand, and muttered to himself.

"It's okay, your brother's here, you're not cold."

"You used to love listening to your brother tell stories. Now I'll tell you a story, and after we finish, we'll go to sleep together and go back to our original world, okay?"

Once upon a time, a lovely little girl came to the orphanage...

But this little girl never played with the other children; she would just squat alone in the corner watching everyone else every day.

But one day, the little girl was suddenly frightened by a cockroach in the corner of the wall. She cried and accidentally bumped into her brother's arms.

Later, her brother helped her get rid of the cockroaches, and the little girl always clung to him, acting like his little shadow, and proudly refusing to be called clingy...

Wuyin choked up and could no longer speak.

The Red Dragon Commander outside the screen had not yet heard any news about the lack of a core, and he was already prepared to accept the worst possible outcome.

When I heard Wuyin say he wanted to return to his original world during the live stream, I just assumed he wanted to go back to the real world with his sister, and I didn't think about another world.

He sighed helplessly and muttered to himself.

"Everyone treats him like a great hero, but he's just a child after all."

"If the fate of the Dragon Kingdom is ultimately destruction, then we should just let things take their course."

On the other side, Wuyin silently stayed by her sister's body all afternoon, without moving an inch, as if she had lost her soul and didn't care about anything else.

During this time, Li Fan couldn't help but hand him bread and water from the cupboard, but he never heard him eat or drink.

As dusk fell, although Li Fan couldn't see, there wasn't a sound in the room. He guessed that Wu Yin was somewhat resigned to her fate and couldn't help but speak to her.

“Look at yourself. If Wuxin had a soul, she would be very disappointed in you if she saw you like this.”

At least you should clear this one ghost story first, and then refuse to enter any more, right?

Wuyin seemed to have heard the words "no core" and reacted.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Li Fan.

Are you like them?

Listening to Wuyin's voice, Li Fan sensed that his current state was very unstable. Although he didn't know what Wuyin meant, he still opened his mouth to explain.

Suddenly, in the quiet room, the sound of a stool being moved came from inside, followed by footsteps that grew closer and closer.

Wuyin approached Li Fan and spoke with a look of despair on her face.

I thought you understood me.

So you're just like them?

"Do you hope I can clear the ghost stories and become a hero of the Dragon Kingdom?"

"But I can't even protect my own sister, how am I supposed to save this damn world?!"

Wuyin became more and more agitated as she spoke, and by the end she was almost shouting, venting her dissatisfaction.

Li Fan was a little angry when he heard that Wu Yin thought of him that way, and he spoke coldly.

"so what?"

"Are you just going to stay in this broken instance with Wuxin forever? Have you even asked Wuxin if she wants to stay in this instance?"

"Anyway, I'm already dead, so it doesn't matter where I am. What about you? You want to die, but did you ask Wuxin, did you ask me, did you ask those who care about you?"

Wu Yin had just vented her emotions to Li Fan, and after hearing what Li Fan said, she was stunned for a moment, and her emotions gradually became more rational.

Yes, it's not a big deal for him to stay here, but he definitely can't let his sister stay here indefinitely, otherwise she'll definitely scold him when she wakes up.

He wanted to take his sister away.

As he spoke, he summoned the scalpel from the toolbar, took it in his hand, and was about to open the door and walk towards the pond.

He wasn't sleepy anyway, and he wanted to quickly find the location of the cafeteria and solve this puzzle.

Hearing the door open, Li Fan reluctantly stepped forward to stop Wuyin and spoke.

"It seems you're still being too impulsive. Going out at night during ghost stories is extremely dangerous."

"Go tomorrow, I promise I won't stop you. Rest tonight, I'll keep watch."

But as soon as Li Fan finished speaking, the two of them held their breath and became alert.

They heard something sticky and crawling approaching the house from outside the door.

Wuyin gripped the scalpel tightly, looking down and glancing at the corner of the door out of the corner of her eye.

The fact that Li Fan's eyes had problems because he looked at the curtains earlier proves that this monster's eyes are even more powerful than Grandpa Niu's, with stronger penetrating ability.

Li Fan stepped forward and stood in front of Wuyin. If the monster really broke through the door, he would lure it out.

If one of them dies, there's still hope of clearing the game.

If Wuyin also goes blind, then two blind people plus a corpse would truly be the end for them.

The sticky sound grew closer, and Wuyin frowned slightly.

The monster didn't appear on the first night, but it appeared on the next two nights. Is the ghost story getting harder, or did they break some rules?

If it's because it's become harder, then this is way too difficult.

He survived the night thanks to Li Fan's test ahead, but at a heavy price; any other chosen one would likely have died on the first night.
