Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Wuyin and Wuxin looked around, both showing expressions of surprise.

Wu Xin was a little scared: "Brother Li Fan, what time is it? You're still joking? Where is the black fog? There's clearly white fog all around. Are you seeing things?"

Li Fan looked around again, his eyes filled with determination.

“The fog I saw was indeed black. I was not hallucinating, nor was I lying.”

Wuyin immediately said, "Quickly, let's go back!"

The two sensed the seriousness in Wuyin's words and knew that things were probably not simple, so the three of them quickly walked back to the cabin.

Only after closing the door of the cabin did the group feel a sense of security.

Wu Yin looked at Li Fan and asked, "Li Fan, after your eyesight was restored, have you felt any discomfort?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Fan replied, "Actually, I feel okay. It's just that when I occasionally look at a certain place, it's like it's shrouded in a black veil, and I can't see clearly."

Wuyin: "Could you be more specific about which places?"

Li Fan: "For example, there was a faint black fog tonight, on the mushrooms we sold this morning, and on the villagers' eyes. Of course, the thickest black fog was on Patton's body; I could hardly see it."

I thought it was a lingering effect from when you poked my eye out, and I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd blame yourself.

Chapter 90 Preparing to Enter the Pond

"Mushrooms, the villagers' eyes, Barton's corpse... Could what you're seeing be an eerie aura?"

Wuyin opened her mouth and looked at Wuxin.

"Did you notice anything else wrong with these eyes in your dream?"

Wu Xin was a little stunned: "I don't know. I really did it subconsciously. I don't know why I did it."

Li Fan was grinning foolishly.

"Then wouldn't I be even more useful? Since I can see eerie auras, I should also be able to find eerie items or detect danger in advance. Little sister, we really owe you a lot this time."

Wu Xin couldn't help but think to herself, "Brother Li Fan is still better. That awful brother of mine actually doubted me."

Wuyin also sighed. If her younger sister still had the ability to foresee dreams, she would be in an even more dangerous situation.

Having two talents is enough to attract the envy of countless people from other countries. Even if the country protects them the best, there will always be unexpected events. They can't stay in that villa forever.

She is naive and lacks the ability to protect herself, making her easily framed by those with malicious intent.

Furthermore, if someone can acquire so many extraordinary talents, they might have been chosen by this bizarre and unbelievable rule to become something.

Now that everyone is in the cabin, they can't go out to explore other clues, so they have to rest early.

It's a new day again; today is their fifth day in the ghost stories.

After washing their faces and having breakfast, the group began their exploration for the new day.

After all, the longer they stay in the ghost stories, the more dangerous it becomes, and they still have very few clues, so they need to speed things up.

The group headed towards the pond with a clear goal in mind.

With a coreless protective shield, perhaps it's truly possible to try venturing into the depths of the pond.

Moreover, Li Fan's eyes seem to be different now; perhaps he can really see eerie auras, adding another layer of security to their safety.

They walked to the pond again, and Li Fan suddenly exclaimed.

Why has the water in this pond turned black?

Wuyin and Wuxin exchanged a glance; it seemed Li Fan's eyes had worked again.

Wuyin asked, "Is the eerie aura of this water very strong?"

Li Fan nodded: "Yeah, even stronger than Barton's."

Wu Xin said, "It seems the eerie atmosphere is indeed very strong."

After thinking for two seconds, Wuyin decided to go into the pond to take a look.

There are no other clues now, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.

And that old cow girl, the only villager they could communicate with without any problems, no one knows where she's gone.

If no other clues can be found, it's impossible to just sit idly in the ghost stories and wait to die.

Wu Yin said, "Wu Xin, you follow behind me. Li Fan, you walk at the very back. The three of us will go into the water together. If I'm in any danger after I go in, neither of you should come down."

Wu Xin: "No, my immunity to the supernatural is my own talent. I feel that my resistance to the supernatural should be higher than yours. I should go to the pond to test it first. If it's okay, then you two can come down."

Wuyin frowned: "No, what if there's really danger in the pond?"

The two argued for a while, Li Fan thought to himself.

"They really are two demon pills..."

Wu Xin couldn't persuade her brother otherwise, so she had to let him stand at the front.

The three followed one after the other. Just as Wuyin reached the edge of the pond, Li Fan suddenly spoke from behind.

"I... I can actually see the coreless protective shield!"

Wuyin was about to go into the water, but Li Fan's shout made her pause.

Wu Xin: "Wow, really? What does my protective shield look like?"

Li Fan: "It's possible that we couldn't see very clearly in the fog last night, or perhaps it's because your protective shield becomes more visible when it encounters stronger strange phenomena."

I only saw a faint halo, like a balloon, enveloping us in the center, but the edges of this halo were so faint they were almost invisible.

"Moreover, there was no sound, and it seemed that some of the black mist in the pond beneath your feet had dissipated."

Hearing this, Wuyin felt much more at ease and stepped into the pond to test it. The water didn't feel wet, but it was still extremely cold.

This means that the coldness does not come from any eerie atmosphere, nor from the water. So why is it so cold here?

Fortunately, the coldness is perfectly tolerable; at most, it might give you a cold, but it won't freeze you to death.

Wuyin took off her black coat and draped it over Wuxin's shoulders; the coat looked a bit too big on the little girl.

Wuyin zipped up her clothes, then said with satisfaction, "Let's go."

As Wu Xin watched her brother's retreating figure, her nose suddenly stung with tears.

His arms had firm muscles that made him look powerful. His back wasn't particularly broad, but it made Wu Xin feel exceptionally safe.

Her brother was always there to protect her, and even when he was stern with her, it was only because he was worried about his safety. She knew all of this in her heart.

Now, due to an accident, she has arrived in the Legend of Rules and Strange Tales, where she can fight alongside her brother and possesses extraordinary talent. It should be her turn to protect her brother.

Thinking this, she intended to return her coat to her brother, but just as she was about to take it off, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder—it was Li Fan.

He lowered his head and smiled as he spoke to Wuxin.

"Little sister, you should wear it. We're both men, and we're strong and healthy, but you're still young. If you get sick or something, your brother will have to take care of you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin stopped refusing and straightened her clothes.

The clothes smelled of my brother, as if I had returned to my childhood, to the time when the two of us depended on each other for survival.

Wu Xin shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about these things, otherwise she would be laughed at by some people.

The group walked down into the pond in a line. In Li Fan's eyes, the faint halo around Wu Xin was just enough to repel the thick black fog and envelop them in a safe environment.

After Li Fan stepped into the pond, he realized that the pond was indeed very strange. There was no water at all, but it was extremely cold, which made him shiver.

At the edge of the pond, the water was only ankle-deep. As you walked further in, the water became deeper and the slope became steeper.

The mushrooms on the shore that had been watching them turned into tiny dots, standing by the pond.

Soon, the water gradually rose above their heads, and they reached a place where the sun could no longer penetrate, and the surrounding scenery became somewhat blurry.

And at the bottom of this pond, there was a door.

The group exchanged glances and nodded. Wuyin then reached out and gently pushed open the underwater door.

Chapter 91 The Corpse of the Old Cow Girl

He forcefully pushed the door open, and a strong smell of blood filled everyone's nostrils. The scene before him made Li Fan gag repeatedly.

Inside, the space was littered with ostrich carcasses, numbering about twenty, and there was blood on the walls and floor.

All the flesh on their bodies had been shaved off, leaving only a few red bits of flesh clinging to the bones. They lay sprawled on the ground with blank expressions, their eyeballs all gone, leaving only red and black blood holes in their eye sockets.

The surrounding floor was littered with bits of meat, some raw and some cooked, emitting a mixture of fragrant and foul odors.

Li Fan covered his nose, feeling nauseous at the smell, but seeing that the two people in front of him had no reaction, he spoke up.

"Why aren't you two reacting at all? Have you both transcended human limits?"

Wu Xin remained calm: "This level of disgust feels pretty average."

I don't know why, but even though she knew that the corpses on the ground were indeed very shocking and disgusting, she seemed to be able to endure it completely, perhaps because she had a strong mental fortitude.

Wuyin did indeed feel that the scene in front of him was very impactful, but he was just used to not showing any emotion on his face.

Li Fan continued, "Although this place is disgusting, there is no black fog inside. The scene I see is perfectly normal and clear, so there should be no danger."

Although he said that, he was inwardly complaining: Actually, even if the scene was shrouded in black mist, it wouldn't matter; there was no need for him to see it so clearly.

Upon hearing this, Wuyin tentatively went inside first. When she was more than a meter away from Wuxin, nothing happened, so it seemed to be safe.

Seeing this, the two people behind them also carefully stepped inside. Occasionally, their feet would touch bits of ostrich meat, making the sensation even more unpleasant.

Wuyin said, "Let's split up and search for any clues, like notes."

The group nodded and then split up to search.

Li Fan kept touching and patting the walls of this large space, listening carefully to the sounds.

Wu Xin, on the other hand, squatted down to examine the ostrich carcasses.

Wuyin looked around again. This should be the canteen mentioned on the note, because the ostrich carcasses and some cooked scraps of meat looked like strange food.

There were no tables or chairs in the cafeteria, but there was another door on the innermost wall.

After thinking for a moment, Wuyin decided to take the initiative to explore inside that door.

If this is a cafeteria, then the door at the very back is most likely behind the kitchen, where perhaps a deeper secret is hidden.
