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

Girls' dormitory - 404.

The four girls sat at their respective desks, heads bowed, and faint sobs could be heard.

"Shen Xing...could she just die like this?"

Hua Yu looked at the green glow in her hand and asked in a hoarse voice the question that no one wanted to face.

"She's probably doomed. She doesn't have any special abilities, so she probably... won't survive."

Yun Yang continued speaking, his hands constantly making notes in his notebook.

Liu Ying slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "Can you fucking stop writing?! It's so annoying!"

Yun Yang slowly raised his head and glanced at it, his face full of mocking smiles.

"What? Are you feeling guilty?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying revealed a guilty expression, as if her secret had been exposed.

Of the four, only Huai Shu, who had remained silent, still retained a shred of rationality.

She spoke slowly and deliberately: "If we find Xiaohua, maybe Shen Xing can still be saved."

"Is it too late?" Yunyang asked.

"Heh, Xiao Hua hates useless people the most, she won't make a move," Liu Ying said sarcastically.

"So, none of you want to save her, why pretend to be so sympathetic?" Huai Shu's cold gaze met Liu Ying's eyes. "She's dead. According to school rules, a new student will be assigned to our dorm. Then no one will be dragging down your grades anymore, isn't that better?"

The fireflies fell silent.

Yun Yang and Hua Yu exchanged a glance and slowly lowered their heads as well.

……

Downstairs in the dormitory building.

Shen Xingzhuo found a secluded corner and sat cross-legged on a rock.

She played with a wisp of spiritual energy in her hand, and the words of the girls in the dormitory fell into her ears perfectly through the wooden puppet.

"Tsk, these girls are really heartless."

She listened with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but sigh.

【Huh? Sister Shen, you have a pretty good attitude.】

[Yeah, you should at least show a little bit of concern, otherwise those people will get upset.]

"Those people? Who?" Shen Xingzhuo even had time to ask the comments section.

[This time, so many of you chosen ones have entered the same strange tale, and representatives from other countries have come to visit. They've probably already met with Assistant Xu by now.]

Yes, they'll be watching your canopy together. If you're too relaxed and confident, they'll definitely feel uncomfortable.

Shen Xingzhu smiled knowingly.

But she is not prepared to make any changes.

Her gaze darkened.

Through her roommates' conversation, Shen Xingzhuo gleaned some information—

One: There are six girls living in dormitory 404. The one named "Xiaohua" mostly likes to act alone and hates Shen Xing the most, who is an outcast who cannot use superpowers.

Second: Their decision to bring her (Shen Xing) to the forest this time may not have been out of solidarity or goodwill. In fact, there might even be a hidden evil thought in their hearts that they wanted to kill Shen Xing.

Three: Little Flower...is it in September?

Fourth: She didn't die; the only scar on her body was the mark left when the vines grabbed her ankles. But Shen Xing doesn't have any superpowers, so she still wants to play dumb for now, and therefore needs to find a suitable excuse.

But it was getting dark.

Shen Xingzhuo had a premonition that she needed to get back before dark.

When I got to the dormitory building, there was indeed a schedule for opening and closing the main gate posted on the door.

Dormitory gate opening hours: 8:00 AM - 19:30 PM

"What strange opening hours."

Shen Xingzhuo silently noted it down, then murmured, "Does this mean they can only appear on campus during the day?"

"What will happen tonight?"

Laughter suddenly came from behind me.

"Of course there's something that can kill you!"

Shen Xingzhuo froze! This person had actually appeared behind her so silently?!

She turned around abruptly and saw a face covered in blood, its skin torn to shreds!
