Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Chapter 104 Escaping the Illusion

At this moment, since the baby stopped its mental attack, the Great Cow Mother's mental strength also recovered slightly.

When she saw the pregnant woman in front of her, she suddenly remembered what she was about to do, and her irrational gaze returned to normal for a moment.

She herself is a mother who has lost her child, so how could she kill another mother's child in front of her?

The pregnant woman observed that the woman in front of her no longer intended to attack her child, so she raised her hand and tugged at the umbilical cord beneath her.

She quickly pulled her child to her side and finally stuffed the underdeveloped baby back into her belly.

He then lay back down on the ground, quietly remaining a corpse.

At this moment, Li Fan was completely exposed to Da Niu Niang's sight.

Big Cow's rationality lasted only a moment. When she saw Li Fan hiding behind the pregnant woman again, her eyes became even more ferocious.

"You despicable men, you cunning men, I'm going to kill you all!"

On the other side, Wuyin had already chiseled a hole, and sunlight shone down through the hole in the wall.

Looking out through this hole, you can see the now-dry pond.

Wuyin's eyes lit up, and he widened the opening even more forcefully.

Li Fan kept dodging the attacks from the Big Bull Mother. Her moves were so fast that Li Fan was finding it difficult to defend himself.

He shouted at the silence behind him.

"Big brother, are you done yet? How much longer? I can't hold on much longer."

Wuyin shouted, "It'll be ready soon, almost there!"

At this moment, Da Niu Niang also noticed Wu Yin standing there, constantly digging at the wall with a knife. She then looked at Li Fan, who was hiding behind various objects and as difficult to catch as an eel. She decisively abandoned the person in front of her and rushed directly towards Wu Yin.

Seeing this, Li Fan knew something was wrong and grabbed the whip from the secret room, lashing it at Da Niu Niang's ankle.

Fortunately, there were a lot of random things in this secret room, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to compete with the Big Cow Girl.

Big Cow Mother thought Li Fan was only good at hiding and was a little careless, so she didn't notice the whip under her feet.

The whip, propelled by its momentum, wrapped around her ankle twice, tripping her and causing her to fall to the ground.

Just then, Wuyin had just carved out a hole big enough for one person to pass through. He turned back at the hole and shouted to Li Fan.

"Come on, you can go out now."

Li Fan felt finally liberated and ran straight to the cave entrance, apologizing to the big cowwoman as he passed by.

He quickly climbed over the cave entrance, and Wuyin followed closely behind, running out of the cave as well. But before leaving, Wuyin glanced back at the big cow girl behind him.

The old woman had already used her strange aura to completely obliterate the damned whip on her foot, but she didn't continue chasing them. She just stood there silently.

Her expression wasn't one of anger or embarrassment, but rather a smile, her mouth split open, revealing a mouth full of eyeballs that, from a distance, looked like a mouthful of oral ulcers with a tongue attached.

The moment Wuyin crawled out of the cave, he saw a group of ostrich carcasses outside and the completely shriveled body of the big cowwoman. He knew he had made the right bet and had escaped the illusion.

The space and door that were originally at the bottom of the pond were gone, and all the corpses were exposed to the sunlight.

But Da Niu Niang's last expression always made Wu Yin's heart pound. Why did she show that expression? What else was she plotting against them?

Li Fan nervously looked towards the cave entrance, fearing that Da Niu Niang would catch up, but found that the cave entrance had mysteriously disappeared. He was puzzled.

"Hey, where's that hole you just dug? I hope she won't catch up with us again."

Wuyin said, "No, we've returned to our original world."

Li Fan was somewhat puzzled, wondering why he had suddenly returned to his original world.

But when he turned around, he saw a pile of ostrich carcasses on the ground. The sunlight shone on the pond, making it feel warm and cozy, and even the carcasses were somewhat dry.

It's completely different from the pond in the original world.

"In the original world, wasn't the bottom of that pond very dangerous? I remember my eyes could see a lot of black mist, but now I can't see anything at all."

Moreover, even without the coreless protective shield, we two are still safe and sound.

Wuyin spoke up: "We've already dealt with all those dangers. In the illusion, we rescued all the abducted women in this village. Their souls have been released and will no longer linger in this pond."

Li Fan suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this, but then he said something else.

"But what exactly are those ostrich carcasses? In the illusion, I thought they were transformed from the corpses of those women, but they haven't dissipated with the mist, so they probably aren't."

Wuyin shook her head.

"Although I'm not sure, I feel your guess is probably correct."

You should know that when we rescued them once in the illusion, it was equivalent to resolving all their obsessions within the illusion.

But that was just an illusion; reality had already unfolded.

They were all trapped in the pond by the village's demons, who drank their blood and ate their flesh.

This has already happened, and no matter how many times we enter the illusion or how many times we defeat those demons, the fact remains unchanged.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan simply lowered his head silently without saying anything, but his clenched fists betrayed his current mood.

Wuyin simply patted Li Fan on the shoulder silently, then walked ahead, and the two of them walked out of the pond together.

It was getting late, so the two returned to the cabin. Wuyin's first task was to check if Wuxin was in the room in the real world.

But as expected, the chipless part is not here.

Wu Yin's eyes were serious. He recalled the last look in Da Niu Niang's eyes. He probably knew where Wu Xin had been taken.

Li Fan then spoke up and asked.

"Big brother, we haven't been able to find our little sister all day. Could she be in any danger? I miss her."

He felt that the atmosphere around him was less oppressive when his younger sister was nearby, and the reasoning logic seemed quite interesting.

When his younger sister isn't around, he can't keep up with his older brother's train of thought at all; he just does whatever his older brother tells him to do.

Wuyin glanced at Li Fan's expression and seemed to realize what Li Fan was thinking, so she explained to him her entire thought process for escaping the illusion today, and also said...

"Little sister, she should be in Zhang Daqiang's basement in the real village."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan felt a headache coming on; he really didn't want to go back to that place again.

but……

Li Fan's gaze hardened.

For his younger sister, he would go through fire and water, even if it meant going through hell and high water.

Chapter 105 Finding the Coreless

The next morning, the two got up early and went to Zhang Daqiang's basement to look for Wuxin.

But Wuyin didn't take Li Fan to Zhang Daqiang's house. Instead, she stole two shovels from someone else's house and walked with Li Fan towards the pond.

Li Fan joked, "You seem to be doing this quite well. What did you do before?"

Wuyin rolled her eyes.

"Each each other."

Walking to the edge of the dried-up pond, Wuyin jumped in, drew a cross on a wall, and then said to Li Fan.

“Let’s start digging. This is where we escaped from yesterday, so it’s also the closest point to Zhang Daqiang’s basement.”

Li Fan couldn't help but feel like he was mentally challenged.

He was thinking that since the hole Wuyin dug yesterday was gone, what if he encountered the bizarrely transformed Great Cow Mother again? Would he have to dig another hole to escape?

Unexpectedly, Wuyin always manages to solve problems in the simplest way possible.

Last time, it didn't take long to break through the wall with a scalpel, but this time, two big men with shovels dug through the pond in no time.

What came into view was the basement they had seen in the illusion, but it was somewhat different from the original.

The bodies of the pregnant woman and Da Niu were long gone, replaced by Wu Xin, bound hand and foot, on the sofa.

Da Niu's mother stood beside him, holding a rice bowl with a kind expression, feeding Wu Xin bite by bite.

Seeing this, Wuyin's face darkened. He widened the hole again with a shovel, preparing to go forward and see what kind of nonsense Da Niu Niang was feeding her sister.

Wu Xin also heard the commotion and saw that the two of them had somehow dug their way into this godforsaken cave. She couldn't help but admire them for finding such a place.

"Brother, Brother Li Fan...you've arrived?"

Seeing that her younger sister's eyes were still clear, Wuyin's previously gloomy expression instantly improved.

The two went into the basement and watched the big cowwoman who was intently feeding Wuxin, waiting for her to speak first.

But Da Niu Niang didn't look at the two men at the cave entrance right away. Instead, after feeding Wu Xin the food in the bowl, she patted his head with a kind expression.

"My dear daughter, are you full?"

Only after Wuxin nodded did Da Niu Niang look at the two people standing by the cave entrance, her smile instantly turning somewhat polite as she spoke.

"How can I help you?"

When Wuyin heard Da Niu Niang call her younger sister "good daughter," a bad premonition instantly rose in her heart. It seemed that Da Niu Niang really treated her younger sister as her daughter.

It seems that taking my sister away from this crazy woman might be difficult.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately became displeased.

This is our sister. What do you mean, your daughter? While I sympathize with your daughter's situation, you can't take our sister away from us.

Wuyin stopped Li Fan, who was about to step forward to argue, because he had already seen the look in the eyes of the big cowwoman in front of him.

He was quite certain that the look in the eyes of this old cowwoman was almost exactly the same as the look in the eyes of the old cowwoman from yesterday. The old cowwoman from yesterday was not a villager in the illusion at all, but the one in front of him now.

She must know in her heart that her daughter is dead, and perhaps she is just looking for a substitute to comfort her heart and ease her pain.

Silently took a step forward, trying not to provoke the big cow girl, and spoke gently.

“Auntie Niu, we are your daughter’s friends. We’ve come to ask her to go for a walk together. Your daughter has been staying in the basement all the time, so she should go outside for some fresh air.”

Upon hearing this, Da Niu Niang's expression instantly turned ugly.

"It's my own daughter, I can do whatever I want with her, what's it to you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fan clenched his fists and couldn't help but rush forward and shout.
