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

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled in the clear sky.

The crimson lightning shone on Hua Jiuyue's rotting half-face, making her even more terrifying than the eerie.

"Let's go! Are you going to wait for the blood mist outside to come in?" Hua Jiuyue urged.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingzhuo concealed the dark look in his eyes, quickly walked to the window, and forcefully pressed down on Hua Jiuyue's leg, which was about to step out.

The brief time they spent together made Shen Xingzhuo realize that her previous judgment of Hua Jiuyue was inaccurate.

Hua Jiuyue is an outstanding individual who emerged from the training of assassins.

She has the intuition and ability to be a suicide squad member, but... she seems too straightforward and direct, easily overlooking the clues placed in front of her.

"Can a suicide squad's instincts alone pass the test of ghost stories?"

Shen Xingzhuo quickly dismissed the idea in her mind.

She glanced up and saw the murderous intent flash across Hua Jiuyue's eyes, then curled her lips into a smile:

"We lack mutual understanding; some things must be agreed upon beforehand, otherwise, problems will arise!"

Her tone turned cold as she looked directly into Hua Jiuyue's eyes.

"First, when we get back to the dorm, we need to stick to the same story. You went for a walk after your daily training and found me, who was seriously injured, in the forest. Out of our bond as roommates, you chose to bring me back."

"Secondly, the reason I went through the window was not because of the blood mist, but because I was worried that if I appeared seriously injured in front of others, it would lower the dormitory's score."

"Third, we can't talk directly in the dorm. If we need to talk, they'll find fault with me and drag me out of the dorm."

Shen Xingzhu paused for a moment, then continued:

"Once we get back safely, the blood mist outside should disappear. We don't know what the blood mist is, but it's the area we need to focus on investigating next."

"Did you remember?"

Hearing Shen Xingzhuo's serious tone.

Hua Jiuyue was stunned for a long time before nodding.

Shen Xingzhuo felt relieved.

"Come down first, and once you find the dormitory, you can lead me up the wall."

As he spoke, Shen Xingzhuo reached out and pulled Hua Jiuyue off the window frame.

She believed in Hua Jiuyue's abilities as a suicide squad member.

However, if she were to waste her energy searching for a dormitory location, it would do more harm than good to their short-lived alliance.

Shen Xingzhuo reached into her pocket and pulled out several miniature Bagua mirrors, which appeared in her hand.

"With Taiyi (the Supreme One) in front, the Eight Trigrams follow. Where the mirror hangs in the air, all things are clearly revealed!"

She flicked the Bagua mirror image into the air with her other hand.

Supported by her spiritual energy, several mirrors hovered steadily in the air.

After the mirror was aligned, an eerie image was projected onto the white paper in Shen Xingzhuo's hand through the convex lens in the center of the mirror.

"This..." Hua Jiuyue was dumbfounded.

She had never seen such amazing skills before!

Shen Xingzhuo glanced at her, not caring about her thoughts at the moment.

Looking through the mirrored surfaces.

The first dormitory room was empty.

In the second room, several girls were doing their own things in an orderly manner.

The third one...

The fourth room...

Shen Xingzhuo looked at them one by one.

Thinking of the voice that came from the puppet doll earlier—

"From the time we went upstairs until now, according to normal time calculations, only five minutes should have passed."

Even if their guilt is fake, they won't just put on an act for such a short while.

If your roommates have any needs, you must provide them with unconditional help and support.

They've crossed the line.

Shen Xingzhuo counted with her fingertips, "Here."

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other.

Shen Xingzhuo transformed into a tattered school uniform using the illusion bracelet and was steadily carried on Hua Jiuyue's back.

"Walk!"
