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

Shen Xingzhuo and Hua Jiuyue walked out of 404 one after the other.

The dormitory door behind me slowly closed.

It was just a very light cardboard door, yet it made a loud thud.

Shen Xingzhuo glanced back and sighed softly.

"Every event that happens in these ghost stories could be a clue to solving the problem; the questions are piling up..."

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze swept across the corridor.

Unlike when they first came upstairs, the corridor is now straight again.

The dormitory doors on both sides are neatly arranged and extend forward, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The incandescent light from the ceiling was dazzling, making the corridor as bright as day, even though there were no windows.

"Where is the water room? And why do we need to go there to fetch water?"

Hua Jiuyue returned to the state she had when she was alone with Shen Xingzhuo before.

Shen Xingzhuo glanced at her and said, "I suspect that the water in the washroom can purify mental pollution."

She didn't finish her sentence.

Rather than saying she suspected the water in the washroom could purify mental pollution, she would say she suspected the water in the washroom was a special kind of "medicine"!

A medicine that can calm the mind and keep one quiet.

Shen Xingzhuo continued, "The rules state that there will be a water room in the center of each floor. Let's walk forward and see."

Hua Jiuyue nodded and followed in her footsteps.

"Why did you stop me from attacking that woman?" Hua Jiuyue asked.

"Although we are now in an alliance, it doesn't mean I have to answer every single one of your questions."

Shen Xingzhuo did not stop walking, but his voice was tinged with frost.

"A partner who offers no value is someone who can be discarded at any time."

Hua Jiuyue paused in her steps.

"Who else could you turn to besides me? Surely not those trembling idiots in the dorm?"

Hearing her say that, Shen Xingzhuo smiled.

"Perhaps you should let someone else come out. Otherwise, the country will be in danger without a prime minister."

She no longer paid attention to Hua Jiuyue's self-satisfaction.

In the live broadcast on the sky screen.

Because of their brief collaboration, the bullet comments from the Tianxia Kingdom and the Wuxiang Kingdom merged into one.

[Tianxia: What does Sister Shen mean by that? What does it mean to call out another person?]

[Tianxia: Is this the level of the chosen one from Wuxiang Kingdom? She's dragged our Sister Shen down more than once.]

[Wu Xiang: Our commander-in-chief is actively investigating. September Flower wasn't like this before. This time, for some reason, her mind just stops working whenever she sees Shen Xingzhuo.]

[Tianxia: Stop, stop, stop! What does this have to do with our Sister Shen? If you want to talk, then talk properly. Stop shifting blame for no reason. Are you trying to start a war between our two countries?]

[Wu Xiang: Aren't you guys being a bit too sensitive? No one in our country has said anything bad about Shen Xingzhuo. Even if they did, can't we say anything about Shen Xingzhuo?]

[Tianxia: Yes! We can't say it!]

The citizens of Tianxia Kingdom stated their position.

The people of Wuxiang Kingdom who had seen it all shut their mouths in embarrassment.

Seeing that they knew what was good for them, most of the citizens of Tianxia Kingdom turned their attention to the conversation between the two in the ghost story.

[Tianxia: Sister Shen said, "Let another person come out"... I suddenly thought of what happened during that sleepless night at the Thorn Hotel.]

[Tianxia: You mean Hua Jiuyue also suffers from dissociative identity disorder?]

[Tianxia: This guess is very likely! Hua Jiuyue suddenly made a move in the dorm before, which seemed very different from her previous behavior!]

……

The speculation in the comments section is still scrolling.

In the midst of the strange tale, Shen Xingzhuo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Hua Jiuyue slammed on the brakes. "What's wrong?"

Shen Xingzhuo was carrying a thermos in both hands, so she could only point to the door next to her with her chin.

"We've come all the way back."

Hua Jiuyue's eyes trembled with shock.

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes darkened, and he murmured softly, "Could it be Möbius again?"

"What did you say?"

Just as Shen Xingzhuo was about to reply, she turned around and saw a flash of light appear in the space in front of her.

Her gaze immediately followed, and she frowned.

"Hua Jiuyue, jump up and look ahead. Can you see a glimmer of light?"

"Jump up?"

Although Hua Jiuyue was puzzled, she immediately did as she was told, remembering Shen Xingzhuo's previous threat.

Using the close proximity of the walls on both sides as leverage, she leaped to a position close to the ceiling in just a few steps.

"Wow!"

She pointed ahead, "There's another space up there!"

"From my angle, it looks like there's a giant mirror in front of us! Above this mirror, there's a gap big enough for one person to pass through!"

"Perhaps we should walk backwards? Walk along the ceiling?"

Her voice was full of doubt.

They're not spiders, so how are they supposed to hang their weight from the ceiling?

Shen Xingzhu lowered his eyes and pondered.

Soon, a smile appeared on her lips.

"Let's play a game."
