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

Shen Xingzhuo had no idea what others were like.

But it seems that when it comes to her, sleeping at night is like breaking the rules.

Clearly, she wasn't the only one who thought this way.

[No way, no way? Sister Shen can't sleep again?]

[But you know what, it feels strangely real. Before the ghost stories invaded, my roommates and I loved chatting after lights out. How to put it... it was like we were more sentimental at night.]

[The dormitory shouldn't be considered a common area, right? I remember there was a rule that said no noise was allowed in common areas after lights out at 10 PM.]

[A dormitory room is just a small public space, so in terms of privacy, it's still better than other places outside.]

[Don't worry! Everything's been fine since Sister Shen made that sound, hasn't it?]

……

In ghost stories.

The only sound in room 404 was still the quiet sound of breathing.

Shen Xingzhuo paused for a moment. In her guess, there were two possibilities:

The first possibility is that, as Shen Xing, her voice doesn't carry enough weight in the dormitory. If she were to initiate a late-night conversation, the other three members of the Liu Ying group might not be willing to join in.

The second possibility is a conjecture that she urgently needs to confirm.

From the very first meeting, Liuying and her friends' behavior was full of stereotypes.

Liu Ying is a contrasting character who is short-tempered but skilled in water-based superpowers. She is easily swayed by rumors and is like a firecracker, ready to explode at any moment.

There are others: Yunyang is a confidante, Huayu is a timid rabbit, and Huaishu is a character who is taciturn but has a deep mind...

Actually, it's not just them.

In addition, there is Shen Xing, who is being bullied, and Xiao Hua, who can look down on everyone because of her academic performance.

It looks like a player who was just assembled from scratch.

And the most important point.

The cup of hot water she just handed over was a test.

In ghost stories, in order to achieve authenticity, even the bizarre possesses the most basic human senses.

How could they not feel pain?

But they were completely unaware when they drank the boiled water.

This indirectly suggests that they might be some kind of creature somewhere between the supernatural and human?

Shen Xingzhu shook his head inwardly.

"It might not even be a living being, but simply possess the most rudimentary form of consciousness."

Thinking of this, Shen Xingzhuo silently closed her eyes.

Regardless of which of the two guesses is correct, she probably won't get any answers from her tonight.

Just as she was getting ready to sleep, a sleepy voice rang out.

"Go to sleep. You have an exam on Monday. If you don't cram for it tomorrow, you'll fail again."

A chorus of agreement followed, "Exactly! Do you want to go to solitary confinement again? Even if you don't, those people won't let you off the hook."

The two girls' voices stopped abruptly.

Shen Xingzhuo recognized whose voice it was.

She wasn't surprised that Yun Yang would "help" her.

But unexpectedly, Huai Shu also started talking at this moment.

"Shen Xingz... go to sleep."

Shen Xingzhuo felt a chill run through her body.

When he called her name in that sentence, he clearly started it with the "zhuo" sound.

Did she want to call him Shen Xingzhuo?

Shen Xingzhuo's heart was filled with sorrow and despair.

In fact, up to this point, she probably still hasn't grasped the core of the entire ghost story.

This ghost story is titled "The Road Home," but where are the elements of going home? And where is the road?

Shen Xingzhuo's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and gradually she lost consciousness.

She felt lightheaded all over.

Suddenly opening her eyes, Shen Xingzhuo saw her own reflection in the glass!
