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

Those directly involved are the least able to see the truth of the matter.

Because of the resentment emanating from Pei Yin, the Chosen Ones will naturally set Liu Jin as the final boss.

If you go off-topic while answering a question, you'll inevitably stray further and further from the correct answer.

Moreover, Pei Jinxiu is someone who consistently avoids the important issues and focuses on the trivial.

She told the false story a hundred times, and even she started to believe it.

……

in the real world.

The image on the sky was frozen in Shen Xingzhuo's deep gaze.

Then the image suddenly magnified several times, passing right through Shen Xingzhuo's pupils.

A layer of fog gradually covered the screen.

After a long while, the thick fog began to dissipate, and the scene became clear again.

Where is this?

[That's strange! Why are new scenes popping up when the truth is being revealed?!]

Wait...this looks familiar!

[Isn't this Pei Jinyu's bedroom? This is... a first-person perspective?]

Amidst the exclamations of the viewers in the live chat, the screen came to life.

They followed a first-person perspective as they walked around the room, their hands constantly turning over something, as if analyzing the life of the room's owner.

[This is Sister Shen's hand! I noticed a deep scar between the thumb and forefinger on Sister Shen's right hand before!]

So this is what Sister Shen saw when she first arrived in the past timeline?

Why are we seeing it again now?

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the screen froze.

Several lines of large characters appeared above—

Citizens of Tianxia Kingdom, please answer and send your answers as comments.

Which of the four items shown in the scene can expose Pei Jinxiu's long-standing lie?

A: Dressing case B: Handkerchief C: Books D: Mysterious item placed under the pillow

[Friendly Reminder: If the accuracy rate of Tianxia citizens exceeds 90%, Pei Jinxiu will remember the whole truth in the mystery! Otherwise, Shen Xingzhuo, the chosen one of Tianxia, ​​will fail to pass the challenge!]

A series of gasps filled the air.

The strange tales somehow tied the success or failure of the chosen ones to the citizens of the corresponding countries!

It should be noted that Tianxia Kingdom is one of the top powers, with a citizen base that far exceeds that of some countries, ranking among the top ten in the entire star system!

Faced with such massive numbers, accuracy depends not only on the intelligence of the citizens, but also on the cohesion of a nation and the degree of their faith in the chosen one.

What if someone deliberately answers incorrectly...

In the command center, Assistant Xu frowned deeply.

Guan Shanyue, standing to the side, showed no outward expression, but his fingers unconsciously tapped lightly on the table.

"I have faith in the citizens of our country."

Qin Shi spoke softly from the side, his tone full of confidence.

"Hmm, no rush."

Guan Shanyue's clear, cold voice rang out.

Assistant Xu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded slightly.

In the live chat, some people have already started to analyze the situation.

[I choose A! I noticed that Pei Jinyu and Pei Jinxiu's headdresses are quite similar in craftsmanship and style, which shows that the Pei family has never mistreated Pei Jinxiu in this regard.]

[But choosing C also makes sense... Sister Shen found the rules in the book, and Pei Jinyu's tone wasn't just reminding her own daughter, but all the women in the Pei household... Besides, later in the Pei household, apart from Madam Pei, there weren't many other women of status.]

[Damn, I think you're all right!]

[Personally, I think the answer is D. Of the three short and one long items, choose the longest one (not really). The main reason is that the ghost stories all describe them as mysterious items; if they're mysterious, they must be useful, right?]

[Do you all remember the sachet Liu Jin used to control Pei Jinyu? I have a feeling that what Liu Jin actually obtained was given to him by Pei Jinxiu... by that mysterious Taoist priest...]

Holy crap!! I got goosebumps all over!

So what do we do now? I feel like what you're all saying makes sense. Does anyone support option B?

[(Silently raising hand.gif) The handkerchief has a picture of twin lotus blossoms. I looked up the meaning of this flower—twin lotus blossoms, meaning growing from the same root.]

[Furthermore, there's a detail I noticed: in Pei Jinyu's room, there was an embroidery hoop and purple embroidery thread. My professor told me these were tools used by women in ancient times for embroidery, which likely indicates that the handkerchief was a gift that Pei Jinyu embroidered herself for her sister.]

So... what should I choose...?

Honestly, the ghost story didn't say you could only choose one answer. Perhaps this is a multiple-choice question?
