Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

Madam Pei's gaze was unfocused, then suddenly focused on a certain point, as if she were savoring an extremely beautiful yet cruel past.

As she laughed, the corners of her mouth stretched to behind her ears, but her voice was barely a whisper.

"But I don't want an afterlife at all; I just want my daughter to be safe and sound in this life..."

Even so, I still couldn't do it...

"I'm the one who wronged her..."

Seeing that she was on the verge of collapse again, Shen Xingzhuo quickly snapped her fingers very loudly.

Madam Pei's expression suddenly froze. She stiffly turned her head to look at Shen Xingzhuo before slowly regaining her composure.

"So, the ashes in that incense burner are the so-called Phoenix Breath Incense? That thing that can bewitch people's minds?"

Shen Xingzhu asked, but a strange feeling lingered in his mind, as if something was missing besides this "incense ash".

Madam Pei shook her head, and said in confusion, "I'm not sure exactly what's in that Phoenix Breath Incense."

Hearing her words, Shen Xingzhuo felt a moment of disappointment.

But Madam Pei added, "But I know why he placed my child's ashes here!"

Shen Xingzhuo waited quietly for her to continue.

Just as Madam Pei was about to speak, a white membrane grew from her mouth, completely sealing her voice inside.

Shen Xingzhu raised an eyebrow. Even if she didn't say it, she already knew.

Liu Jin's actions were nothing short of suppression and sealing, so that his evil deeds would no longer be known to the public.

She closed her eyes and sensed the location of Pei Jinyu and Runyu.

"Soon."

She was already confident.

Meanwhile, Pei Xi's progress is also nearing completion.

The outer membranes of the three fleshy balls in the swaddling clothes had been torn open horizontally, revealing the face of a little girl inside, whose features were blurry yet still quite pretty.

They lay on their backs, their little hands outstretched, as if searching for their mother.

Shen Xingzhuo felt a pang of heartache, but that was all; she tried her best to control her movement as she approached.

Because once you hold a little girl's hand, you can't bear to let her face death before she's even born.

"Pei Yin is the legitimate heir of the Pei family, so Liu Jin dares not openly perform a cesarean section to retrieve the eggs."

That's why she tricked Pei Xi, a young child, into doing something like framing his mother and killing his sister.

But his mistake was that Pei Xi was an extremely pure-hearted child, whose only thought was to relieve his mother's suffering. That's why she ended up doing all the work for me.

but……

What exactly is this final rule...?

What other clues have I missed...?

Shen Xingzhuo was in a brainstorming session.

But the chosen ones in other countries don't have it so easy.

……

Inside the command center, Guan Shanyue stood before a strategic map, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

The current situation is that, apart from Shen Xingzhuo taking the lead and clearing the SS-level mystery on his own, there is no other situation.

The chosen ones from other countries were divided into three factions.

One group consists of people whose progress differs from Shen Xingzhuo's, who are now struggling to survive amidst the various supernatural tales they must encounter. Without Shen Xingzhuo's guidance, they are barely managing to stay alive.

Secondly, like Shen Xingzhuo, they were both in "Guanyin Brocade", but their challenge was slightly easier. With the help of two communication opportunities, the commander led them through one deadly situation after another.

Thirdly, and most unfortunately, they completely lost their initiative and were forced to cooperate with the supernatural tales, causing trouble for Shen Xingzhuo in "Guanyin Jin". For example, the two fake Liu Jins before were like this.

What's puzzling is their unclear motives for cooperating with the supernatural tales, but considering the previous defection of a nation to Tianxia, ​​it doesn't seem like they were completely lured by the tales...
