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

"I am not Pei Yin!"

Seeing Pei Jinyu willing to sacrifice herself for everything just because of her costume identity.

Shen Xingzhu felt a surge of anger rising within her, and for the first time, she transcended her identity as Pei Yin and addressed Pei Jinyu by her given name.

After he finished speaking, both sides were suddenly stunned.

Meanwhile, Madam Pei, standing to the side, was completely bewildered as the two suddenly began to speak in cryptic unison.

However, the traditional values ​​that had permeated her for over a decade still led her to lecture Shen Xingzhuo.

It was unusual for Shen Xingzhuo, who was usually eloquent, to simply listen without uttering a word of rebuttal.

This made Madam Pei feel somewhat uncomfortable.

This was the first time she had been so obedient since I reunited with this daughter at the ancestral hall.

Madam Pei curled her fingers slightly. "Then, you must remember this: don't be naughty with your mother anymore."

She gave a dry, admonishing instruction.

Pei Xi watched the bride being so obedient and silently suppressed a laugh.

For the first time, the scene fell into a harmonious silence.

Although it's kind of funny to see Sister Shen like this, this scene is actually quite sad.

Did the person upstairs win any gold awards for sentence-making during their school days?

[Stop messing around, does anyone know what to do next? Do those rules that weren't fully validated still count...?]

【…】

A question floated by, and the live chat instantly fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the ghost story, Shen Xingzhuo appears to be listening to Madam Pei's teachings, but in reality, his mind has already wandered far away.

I'm now multitasking by thinking about the same questions that are being asked in the comments.

A new ending has emerged, so can the rules of the old era still be applied?

Her fingers tapped unconsciously on the hem of her dress.

After thinking for a few moments, she suddenly made a move that shocked everyone.

The long sword flashed with a cold light.

The wrist of the man holding the lantern on the ground was severed by the sharp blade.

Shen Xingzhu used the tip of his knife to lift the severed hand and examined it carefully for three breaths.

The eye fell on the liquid seeping from the broken surface on the ground—

It is pale yellow and as thin as water.

"It's blood plasma." Shen Xingzhuo's eyes darted around, then suddenly she realized something. "This person has been dead for several days!"

When she was on a mission with her mentor for the authorities, an old forensic doctor saw that she was brave and took the opportunity to educate her about many forensic medical practices while performing the procedure.

This includes basic knowledge of forensic pathology.

The time of death can be determined by examining the characteristics of the blood.

The blood seeping from the severed limb of the lantern-bearer was clearly no longer in its normal form.

This means that his time of death has clearly exceeded twenty-four hours!

The more Shen Xingzhuo thought about it, the more she felt that something was not quite right.

"vomit!!!"

Madam Pei couldn't help but gag.

Shen Xingzhuo then came to her senses and realized that she had been standing too close to the severed limb because she was so engrossed in thinking.

From Madam Pei's perspective, it looked as if she wanted to devour the severed hand.

Shen Xingzhu curled her lips and used the tip of her knife to push the hand further away.

"What exactly is wrong?"

When the Lanternman appears, Rule Four will appear simultaneously.

When the lamplighter was beheaded by her, the ghost story announced, "The path of reincarnation is severed."

The lamplighter has the mark of the chosen one on his wrist.

Now, forensic experts tell her that this "chosen one" has been dead for several days.

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

How could someone who has been dead for several days be playing the lantern bearer in a ghost story?

Was his corpse controlled by a ghost story?

Or... is this "Chosen One Mark" fake?
