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

"hiss……"

Someone gasped.

After seeing the difference in size between the giant monster and Shen Xingzhuo, he couldn't bear it and turned his head to the other side.

It felt as if I would see Shen Xingzhuo's body fragments at any moment.

However, most people in Tianxia still firmly believed in Shen Xingzhuo's strength.

Their eyes were fixed on the sky, waiting for victory to arrive.

……

"Yin'er! Run!"

"Don't look back!"

Suddenly, Madam Pei got up from the ground, and despite the oppressive aura of the strange tale, she yanked Shen Xingzhuo away from the giant monster and flung him out of the ancestral hall.

Shen Xingzhuo was caught off guard and stumbled, but was caught by Pei Jinyu who arrived just in time.

The images of Pei Zhao being abused that she had seen in her memories replayed in her mind.

"Never look back." These five words, like solemn, melodious chants, poured into her mind.

After a shiver, he looked at Pei Jinyu with some hesitation.

"Don't be afraid, Mother is here."

Pei Jinyu patted Pei Yin's head, and when their eyes met, she nodded with a smile.

Madam Pei's eyes still held a mixture of fear and unease.

Upon seeing Pei Jinyu, whom he hadn't seen for many years, he struggled to breathe, his face turning bluish-purple from the feeling of suffocation.

Seeing this, Shen Xingzhuo disregarded the cause of the earlier chaos, exchanged a glance with Pei Jinyu, and quickly placed a yellow talisman on Madam Pei's chest.

Sister Shen's composure under pressure is truly amazing!

Does this eagle-like woman truly not know what horror is?

[Regarding the above, we still don't know how many skill bars Sister Shen has, nor do we know what kind of bizarre scenes she has witnessed in the past.]

I'm a student at a university of science and technology, and I've recently been researching a new brain-computer interface with my professor, which might enable empathic visual communication within the brain. I wonder if Sister Shen would be willing to share this experience with us.

[Wait a minute, putting aside whether Sister Shen is willing or not, have you considered the user's psychological capacity? Don't scare them to death!]

[Yes, yes. Look at Madam Pei, she almost died from a shortness of breath.]

The yellow talisman painting on Madam Pei's chest shone with a jade-like luster, surrounding her.

Her cheeks were still flushed.

Shen Xingzhuo was quite surprised to see this and blurted out, "Mother? Are you still having trouble breathing?"

Madam Pei shook her head.

"I...I'm so sorry, Madam..."

Her tone was filled with regret and guilt; she didn't even dare to look Pei Jinyu in the eye.

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly realized what was going on, pursed her lips, and decided not to interfere in the feud between the two.

That was the cause and effect between them, and as an outsider, she had no right to interfere.

Shen Xingzhuo focused his gaze on the terrifying giant monster and stretched out his palm.

The giant monster did not make any attacking move; instead, it placed its head in Shen Xingzhuo's palm.

"Well done, Pei Xi."

Shen Xingzhuo softly uttered a word of reward.

[Cough cough...]

The ghost story made a sound, reminding him that he was still present.

Shen Xingzhuo withdrew his hand and stared blankly at the statue.

"You can ask your second question now," she said calmly.

The next moment, Madam Pei's figure was completely swallowed up by the surging black mist inside the ancestral hall.

Shen Xingzhuo's pupils contracted sharply, her body reacting before her mind—she abruptly broke free from Pei Jinyu's embrace, pushing off with her feet, and was about to rush back.
