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

Hua Jiuyue followed behind Shen Xingzhuo, keeping a vigilant eye on the movements in the corridor.

But nothing terrible happened until we entered the water room.

"You're relaxing too soon. Our destination this time—" Shen Xingzhuo pointed, "is inside."

Hua Jiuyue's relaxed expression instantly tensed up again.

Before entering the inner room, she tugged at Shen Xingzhuo's sleeve.

"Um... could you tell me why I walked out of 404 on my own just now?"

Shen Xingzhuo was full of questions and pointed to himself.

"You're asking me?"

Hua Jiuyue nodded seriously, "I have no memory of that time."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingzhuo's expression also became serious.

"Before you left the house, you fell straight off the bed. I asked you if you had a nightmare, but you didn't answer. Instead, you walked out in a panic."

"To be honest, I think your behavior in the ghost story is too different from my judgment of you, so I had no intention of helping you. However, the ghost story sent me a countdown warning, giving me only 66 seconds to think."

"You had already walked over a hundred meters away, so I had no choice but to use Hua Yu's vines to pull you back."

"Otherwise, you'll only have one path left: death."

Shen Xingzhu simply recounted the morning's events without embellishment.

When Hua Jiuyue heard that she hadn't originally intended to save her, she gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Anyway, thank you for deciding to save me."

In the supernatural tales, personal interests are national interests, so while she could understand Shen Xingzhuo's decision, she was even more grateful that Shen Xingzhuo ultimately saved her.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Wuxiang Kingdom behind her, upon seeing this scene, immediately sent Tianxia the treatment potion that Shen Xingzhuo had requested.

……

In the scene depicted on the sky.

Shen Xingzhuo waved his hand casually, "It's normal for ghost stories to want to send the chosen ones to their deaths, but your amnesia is a warning sign that you must take to heart."

"After you remember everything, you must share the contents of your dream with me."

Hua Jiuyue nodded vigorously.

Shen Xingzhuo then stopped looking at her.

If students need to wash up, please go to the designated washroom stalls to ensure your privacy.

Do not use this water to wash up, do not use this water...&...@#

Shen Xingzhuo recalled the rules about the water room in his mind.

But as soon as he stepped into the inner room, he gasped in shock.

[What's wrong? What's wrong? This is the first time I've seen Sister Shen react like this.]

Why doesn't the perspective of the sky screen change with Sister Shen's? Let me see!

As soon as this comment appeared, after a period of "signal distortion," the screen finally showed them the view inside the washroom!

Originally, this was just a normal washroom, with a shower area side by side against the wall and a long metal sink opposite, which could accommodate more than a dozen people washing their faces at the same time.

There are several long benches in the middle, but the wood on them is covered with barbs, indicating that they have been damaged for quite some time.

Just as everyone was wondering why Shen Xingzhuo had such a strong reaction.

The "video signal" was distorted again.

When the picture returns!

Countless eyes were now embedded in the once-neat wall.

It wasn't one of those magnified eyes, but rather a normal-sized eyeball with the posterior hemisphere removed, pressed tightly against the wall.

Perhaps this will make my eyes sore.

The area near the ceiling is fine.

But the closer they got to the ground, the more dark red and dark green mucus they saw, which was thickly coated onto each of their eyeballs!
