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

Shen Xingzhuo's ears twitched as she clearly heard the footsteps outside coming from a distance, getting closer and closer.

As for her identity in this ghost story, all she knows is that she is a "bullied person".

Shen Xingzhuo quickly calmed down and glanced down at the clothes she was wearing—

It's a very ordinary polyester blend fabric, mainly blue and white, with a light green school badge printed on the chest.

She reached out and pulled the school badge into view.

The totem above is a very complex composite pattern, with only two lines of small text printed at the very bottom.

It says Jiaxing Experimental High School, Shen Xing.

Shen Xingzhu raised an eyebrow and immediately locked her name on the bedside cards of the six beds.

She looked over and saw that her bed was on the lower bunk, with drag marks on it.

The sheets and blankets were crumpled up in a ball, a stark contrast to the neatly made beds of the other people.

[Poor thing, waaaaah, I can't even have peace in my own dorm room.]

[It's obvious he gets beaten up often; he can only use pillows and blankets for defense.]

The person upstairs seems a bit naive. I have a friend who's a psychologist, and she says that violence is the most basic form of bullying. Besides, do you think the bully would allow the poor little one to defend themselves?

……

Shen Xingzhuo walked quickly to the bedside.

Using the cleaning skills he had learned at a five-star hotel when he was staking out a group of evil cultivators, he quickly restored the pillows, blankets, and sheets on the bed to a quiet and smooth state.

She patted non-existent dust off her hands, and a tiny smile appeared on her lips.

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze naturally fell on the two-inch photo on the bedside card.

The girl in the photo was wearing black-rimmed glasses, but Shen Xingzhuo felt that something was off about her.

"Ta-ta—"

The footsteps outside the door grew closer.

Shen Xingzhuo quickly pulled her wandering thoughts back.

This dormitory room has a typical bunk bed layout, and the desk is a 4-meter-long table placed in the middle of the room.

The first thing she noticed was the black-rimmed glasses on the table.

Just as I was about to take a step in that direction.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of another very narrow tabletop.

"Squeak—"

The dormitory door was pushed open.

"Room check!"

A group of people walked in aggressively, led by a middle-aged woman.

She wore silver-rimmed glasses and had several pens in her breast pocket.

When he saw Shen Xingzhuo reaching out and groping around in the room, the words of reprimand he was about to say stuck in his throat.

She looked around and handed the glasses to Shen Xingzhuo.

"You can't always let people bully you. Even in your own dorm room, someone managed to steal your glasses."

Although his tone was gentle, Shen Xingzhu could detect a stiffness in it.

"Shen Xing, your teacher has told you many times. Although you don't have any special abilities right now, the fact that you're in our academy means you must have potential!"

"You need to calm down and stop getting so caught up in those pointless games!"

She patted Shen Xingzhuo's shoulder hard.

Shen Xingzhuo lowered his left shoulder slightly, pretending to be "crushed" by the force.

The female teacher sighed heavily and shook her head.

"You should think carefully about what your teacher is saying, did you hear me?"

The female teacher emphasized the last few words.

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly felt an electric current run through her body and immediately agreed meekly.

The female teacher didn't say anything more and walked around the dormitory.

Seeing that there was no obvious dirt or mess, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Okay, this time it's pretty good."

She was preparing to leave.

Just as she was about to step out the door, she suddenly turned around, and a half-rotten face, as if corroded by sulfuric acid, suddenly came close to Shen Xingzhuo.

"Please keep an eye on that bedwetting kid in the dormitory for the teacher."

"Your teacher trusts you."

The female teacher revealed a terrifying smile, her facial bones seeming to crumble and splinter.

She seemed embarrassed, "Please sweep again. Our school rules state that there can't be anything dirty on the ground."

After saying that, the female teacher turned her face away and gracefully walked out of the dormitory.

The moment the door closed, Shen Xingzhuo quickly glanced at the dormitory room number: 404.
