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

几分钟前。

Shen Xingzhu suppressed the irritation in his heart and was explaining to Hua Jiuyue why simply hiding the name on the strange school uniform with needle and thread could make the strange turn against him.

"Actually, the answer is very simple." Shen Xingzhuo looked into the strange eyes, as if she could see the tragedy of its life through them.

"Do you know what to do if a donkey is slacking off while grinding grain?"

Upon hearing this question, Hua Jiuyue thought for a moment and replied, "Will you whip it? Or just kill the donkey and take its meat?"

Shen Xingzhuo rubbed his forehead.

"No, that's not true. In the old days, a donkey was very valuable. Damaging or killing it would be a loss."

She shook her head and said, "The correct answer is that there's a carrot hanging in front of it. If it wants to eat it, it will naturally walk forward."

"But doesn't that mean we'll never be able to eat it?"

Shen Xingzhuo looked at her approvingly and snapped his fingers.

"That's right, we need to make sure it can't get the food. Only in this way will it have a continuous source of motivation to keep moving forward."

"Give this strange carrot to the so-called new life."

"Our Xuanmen school often talks about 'using names to settle the mind,' which means 'forgetting the past and moving towards a new life after changing one's name.'"

"So I hid its past name and story, and it gained a new identity, which is naturally a new life."

Shen Xingzhuo looked reluctant. "But this freshman is fake."

Hua Jiuyue seemed to understand but not quite.

"Once it accepts this outcome, it will naturally sever ties with the past. At that point, when we ask it questions, we'll get the answers we want."

"However... those few words are definitely not as simple as they seem now."

Hua Jiuyue nodded. "I understand. If you had said earlier that this was an interrogation technique, I would have understood!"

Shen Xingzhuo was completely bewildered.

How did she come to this understanding?

But Hua Jiuyue didn't have time to answer her question. After realizing that the strange state had stabilized, she blurted out her question.

"Tell me where the water room is?"

Before she could finish speaking...

A door was suddenly kicked open.

Shen Xingzhuo quickly looked over and counted carefully, discovering that the door was the third one to the right of the fire hydrant.

"So that's how it's counted," Shen Xingzhuo thought to himself.

But the next second, a flood suddenly broke out in the corridor.

The water level rose at a visible speed, quickly reaching Shen Xingzhuo's shoulders.

Although both of them were excellent swimmers, they were no match for the onslaught of the giant waves.

The two had just surfaced when they were slammed back underwater.

But the bottom of the water is not stable either.

A sudden undercurrent swept the two into an underwater whirlpool.

Shen Xingzhuo and Hua Jiuyue did not get enough oxygen before falling into the water.

It quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

Shen Xingzhuo frowned and made several internationally recognized hand gestures to Hua Jiuyue.

[The water depth is wrong; the stairwell is sinking!]

Stay close to me! Then we'll figure out how to break down that door!

After making the gesture, Shen Xingzhuo immediately tilted her head back, and a second before the water rushed into her nasal cavity, she caught a glimpse of the deep red color on the fire hydrant.

She swam forward with Hua Jiuyue in her arms.

But human strength can never match the allure of a whirlpool in water.

The two of them tried their best, but still couldn't break free.

No, we're running out of oxygen! We can't waste our energy like this!

Shen Xingzhuo tried to ignore the biting cold of the water and focused on thinking of a solution.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Spiritual energy gathered in his hands, and he began to practice the starting posture of Tai Chi!
