Is this okay?

But they still had a glimmer of hope: the Encyclopedia of the Strange.

Although there are many rules in the Encyclopedia of Strange Things that are unclear, and some things require specific relationships, they can only place all their hopes on it in this situation.

The chef, who had just been stirring the pot until it sparked, started trembling as he held his phone. It was unclear whether it was from fear or from using too much force and losing control.

But it doesn't matter!

None of these things matter when faced with the will to survive.

Upon realizing they had fallen into a bizarre set of rules, everyone instinctively pulled out their phones and looked over.

Ding!

"The Complete Book of Weird Rules has been automatically activated."

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the same chibi-style character appeared on everyone's phones and even made a sound notification.

Then, bizarre rules suddenly appeared on the screen, and everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on. But after thinking about it carefully, I think it was probably already installed on my phone when the first "Complete Collection of Weird Things" appeared. I also feel that it's a user-friendly design, so I can't help but give it a thumbs up.

As soon as everyone saw the rules, they immediately began to act. The rule of hide-and-seek is that you can't be found. As long as you don't get found, you'll be safe. Although there is a safe spot, it's probably too late now.

"Are you hidden well?!"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice rang out all around, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Strange things are happening!

They understood the situation and knew they had to hide quickly.

According to the rules, the little girl will continue saying this phrase until it is no longer heard, which indicates the start.

"Have you hidden it?"

The little girl's voice rang out again, filling everyone's hearts with trepidation.

The chef, looking terrified, found a corner to hide in. He chose a cabinet, a place only kitchen staff knew about and could easily move.

It can be said to be a foolproof and excellent place.

Just then, the little girl's voice disappeared, and the game of hide-and-seek began.

Everyone huddled in a corner in fear, not daring to utter a sound.

The chef was filled with a mixture of certainty and panic. He was convinced that he would never be found in the location he had chosen, but the other party was strange and could not be described by common sense, so he felt more flustered than ever before in the current situation.

Tread.

Suddenly he heard footsteps coming from the kitchen, followed by the little girl's voice.

"Hahaha! I see you!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the chef's pupils contracted and his hands and feet turned ice-cold.

God will kill me!

He was devastated; he never imagined he would be so unlucky as to be found by the other party.

Even though I was absolutely certain that this place would never be found, and I could even move to a different location at any time.

However, things don't always go as planned, and anyone would feel desperate in this situation.

He sensed the little girl's footsteps getting closer and closer, as if she had known his location from the beginning, and despair and incomprehension appeared on his face.

On second thought, it makes sense.

The creature on the other side is a monster, not a human. How can we possibly use human experience to think about it?

This is a completely unequal situation. In the eyes of humans, hide-and-seek is a game for children, but in the eyes of the supernatural, hide-and-seek is a rare and precious rule.

As time went on, the chef's despair grew, and he could now see the little girl's clothes through the cracks in the cabinet.

It's a very cute pink plaid dress.

As expected, it will appear in front of me soon.

it's over...

His heart was filled with despair, and he could even see the little girl standing in front of his cabinet.

The little girl looked like an ordinary person, but her eyes and mouth were completely black, as if there was nothing there.

"Got you!"

She stood in front of the cabinet, shouting with joy, while the chef inside was filled with despair, yet he did not utter a sound.

"I found you too!"

Just then, a kind-looking man appeared behind the little girl, and the chef in the cabinet immediately narrowed his eyes when he saw him.

He witnessed a scene he would never forget: a man standing behind the strange figure, gazing at the little girl with a kind and gentle expression.

He's like a lewd old man, but different. He can't quite put his finger on how he's different, but it feels like a demon king and a hero suddenly appearing in a supernatural story, creating a sense of incongruity.

The little girl's smile froze when she heard the man's voice, and she turned around blankly.

He saw a man whose smile was even more terrifying than his own, staring at him with a kind and benevolent expression; he couldn't be mistaken about the aura emanating from him.

He's a guy even more terrifying than himself.

"?"

Although I don't know why, this man in front of me is more suited to being weird than I am.

For a moment, the little girl had the illusion that the one opposite her was the strange one, and that she was just an ordinary little girl who thought she was strange.

That's right, the person who came was Leng Mo!

"Hehehe, I've been looking for you for ages. Come on, follow me."

The moment Leng Mo found the little girl, he was filled with excitement, like a hero who had obtained a legendary sword, and even a sense of excitement that he could now completely defeat the Demon King.

Seeing Leng Mo's expression, the little girl looked puzzled and asked:

"Why are you alright when you've already broken the rules?"

"Huh? You mean this thing?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo pulled out something transparent from the side, his face full of questions.

The little girl's face was filled with fear the moment she saw this thing. If she wasn't mistaken, the transparent thing was undoubtedly a corner of the rule.

In other words, this man in front of me has torn off a corner of the rules.

Those are the rules! It's something that humans can't do, no, to be precise, even monsters can't do it.

Leng Mo noticed the little girl's reaction and smiled kindly, "Since you understand, then come with me. If you refuse... you'll end up like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Mo crushed the transparent shard in his hand into dust.

"..."

The little girl nodded frantically in an instant, as if she were about to smash her head off.

It was filled with a sense of fear.

Leng Mo smiled mysteriously at this, looking at the little girl in front of him with a comical expression.

That's right, it's worth it to have your emotions modified. It would be so meaningless if there were no emotions. When we take action, your desperate screams will be my triumphant song!

WRYYYYYY——！！

Thinking about what would happen next, Leng Mo's face was filled with excitement.

Soon, the little girl followed Leng Mo away, leaving the chef looking bewildered.

He stared blankly in the direction Leng Mo had left, completely unsure of what to do. Then, with a convulsion, he slumped down and relaxed.

Anyway, we survived.

……

On the other side, there were Senior Xiaoyuan and the others.

"Unity is strength! We absolutely cannot let that bastard Amo succeed!"

She earnestly addressed those around her, chanting slogans of unity, her voice filled with awareness and determination.

"Unite!"

"We absolutely cannot let Amo succeed!"

"From where!? Where will the attack come from?! Aa ...

Kaneki, Tatsumi, and Kazuma all responded.

At this moment, Ouma Shu sensed something was subtly wrong and said to the others, "I'll pass, I plan to act alone."

"..."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, everyone looked at Shu Ouma as if he were dead, their eyes filled with sorrow and grief.

"????"

Shu Ouma was completely bewildered by the look in his eyes and had no idea what was going on.

"Why does everyone look at me like that?" he asked.

"Shu, haven't you ever seen a horror movie? The guy who said that in the movie is probably already dead." Kaneki looked at Shu Ouma with a sad expression.

"Shu-ba-you died so tragically!!" Tatsumi shouted at Shu Ouma with a grief-stricken expression.

Although something is wrong.

"Is it really necessary? Aren't those just scenes from movies?" Shu Ouma looked at the person in front of him speechlessly.

"He said the same thing as in a horror movie again!" Madoka looked at Ouma Shu in front of her with a look of despair, and even trembled with fear.

"Do we really have to lose the King of the Sea today? This is outrageous!!" Kazuma clenched his fists, his face filled with anger and grief, his expression one of profound pain.

"..."

As for that!

I'm not dead yet!

Seeing this situation, Shu Ouma felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, and even any explanation seemed pale.

"Let's just pretend that Ji Bawang never came. That way, we won't suffer the pain and anger of losing Ji Bawang," Kaneki said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"Hiss! Thinking about it that way, it makes sense. Doesn't that mean we won't have to suffer? Great idea!" Kazuma was overjoyed to hear this. As long as the other party had never been there, there would be no more suffering.

"Although something feels off, it seems to make sense." Even Tatsumi seemed to be deep in thought.

"..."

"..."

Only Kurumi Tokisaki and Mikoto Misaka, standing to the side, were speechless, completely unsure how to react to the situation.

It has to be said that the current situation is extremely passive, with everything under the other party's control.

Something has to be done.

Kurumi Tokisaki's heart was filled with solemnity, and she quietly hid her clone.

At this moment, Shu Ouma said seriously to Madoka and the other three, "Don't go too far. No matter what, I can't possibly act like someone in a horror movie, can I?"

"Impossible!" Senior Xiaoyuan was the first to stand up and refute.

"How could that be! Horror movies are horror movies, and reality is reality. The two cannot be equated." Shu Ouma immediately retorted.

"I do not believe!"

I'll prove it to you!

"No! I'll die!!"

"will not!"

"Will do!"
