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

This was the first time Guan Shanyue had ever shown such displeasure towards the Huaxu team.

Disappointment was evident in her eyes, an attitude she had never shown even when the Tianxia Kingdom was on the verge of destruction.

Guan Shanyue sighed, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.

"You are at a young and vibrant age, and the disaster struck suddenly; otherwise... you should still be in school."

"It was the circumstances that forced you to grow up quickly and shoulder many responsibilities that you shouldn't have had to bear."

Guan Shanyue's gaze swept over the young and inexperienced faces in the command room.

"You've done very well to this extent."

Guan Shanyue's voice was deep and powerful.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianling and the others all lowered their heads.

They began to reflect on whether their behavior was excessive and whether it had really caused trouble for Shen Xingzhuo, who was facing numerous crises in the ghost story.

"Now, you can all go and rest."

Guan Shanyue issued an order that surprised everyone.

"But! Captain Guan! What will happen to the command center if we leave? Who will..." Su Anyu said anxiously, "We don't need any rest at all!"

"Yes, Captain Guan. An Yu was right this time. We know we were wrong. From now on, we'll carefully screen the clues and only pass on the most important information to Sister Shen!"

Lu Qianling hurriedly assured her.

Qin Shi and Li Hua quickly exchanged a glance.

Despite the oppressive gaze of Guan Shanyue, Qin Shi still stepped forward.

"Captain Guan, now that we're all gone, the pressure on you and Assistant Xu will be immense."

Qin Shi pursed his lips, hesitated, and finally spoke:

"Also... even though we now have the talisman left by Sister Shen, we can't guarantee that everything will be foolproof."

"I understand your intention to let us rest."

"But the risk of us all leaving is too high, isn't it? Otherwise, you wouldn't have urgently expanded recruitment when Captain Lu and Captain Su went to top the list of ghost stories."

Qin Shi rationally listed out the reasons one by one, but he was still uneasy.

Guan Shanyue was always a leader who possessed both authority and approachability; she was able to welcome good advice...

but……

The crisis of Guan Shanyue's mental corruption had been a shadow hanging over the entire command center.

Even if Shen Xingzhuo is unparalleled in the art of metaphysics, and even if they trust Guan Shanyue's abilities, once a crisis of trust arises, it can never be erased.

Everyone has been keeping this matter to themselves these days, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Now Guan Shanyue has ordered all members of the Huaxu Squad to leave.

Although Qin Shi could understand her motives for giving the order, he dared not easily obey it.

In this respect, she and Li Hua understood it more deeply than Lu Qianling and Su Anyu, who were previously stuck in the ghost stories.

Just as she said this, Su Anyu gasped.

The command center was completely silent.

Just when they thought Guan Shanyue would be angry, they saw a satisfied look on his face.

Qin Shi breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She knew that Captain Guan was an admirable commander.

……

Just as the atmosphere in the Tianxia Kingdom's command room was tense.

Shen Xingzhuo in the ghost story has already figured out his situation—

Because of that so-called "anesthetic," she's currently in an out-of-body state. Could this be considered a "blessing in disguise"? It allows her to see the entire "crime scene" from a third-party perspective.

And where she is now... 'This may not be the same medical abandonment room as before.'

This realization made Shen Xingzhuo's expression even more serious.

She always knew that the medical abandonment room was a fig leaf, and that the room was essentially an operating room.

"What exactly do these people want to do to Shen Xing? Why are there so many operating rooms in one school?"

Many questions lingered in Shen Xingzhuo's mind.

But she had no time to think!

The two "doctors" had already approached the person on the operating table with knives in hand!

Judging from their movements, they seem to be about to perform a "surgical excision!"

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes turned a burnt color!

It's true that her soul left her body and she wouldn't be harmed, but what was lying on the operating table was definitely her body!
