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

His scarlet pupils kept turning.

Some citizens stared at it for a while, but could not bear it any longer and fainted to the ground.

The once orderly system of the Tianxia Kingdom was momentarily thrown into chaos.

The strange creatures that invaded the Tianxia Kingdom seized the opportunity and reaped tens of thousands of lives within seconds.

They held the head of the dead high, howling with excitement.

The eerie sound waves radiated outwards.

The strange entity near the spirit spring seized the opportunity and directly destroyed a newly formed spirit spring!

Alarms blared incessantly in the Tianxia Kingdom's air command center. Su Anyu was the first to become restless and requested permission from Guan Shanyue to join the battle!

"Captain Guan!" Su Anyu said urgently.

Guan Shanyue raised her hand to stop him from saying anything more, and calmly analyzed each possible outcome in her mind.

Finally, she looked at Su Anyu seriously.

"This chaos was unexpected, but we weren't entirely unprepared. Take my deputy's order to the Third War Zone and find..."

Guan Shanyue paused for a moment.

The nearby AI immediately displayed a portrait and related information of the person in charge of the Third War Zone.

Name: Liang Nian

Position: Head of the Third War Zone, Tianxia Exorcism Operations Department

Military rank: General

Term of office: From 260 AD to present

Military merit record: ...

One after another, glorious military achievements were magnified and displayed in gold lettering before Su Anyu and the others.

Guan Shanyue smiled with satisfaction and continued to Su Anyu: "Liang Nian has a wealth of combat experience. After you find her, work with her to complete the sealing-off work at the Lingquan border."

"The strange creatures cannot directly approach the spirit spring area, but they can destroy the spirit spring through long-range sonic attacks."

"The creation of the Spirit Spring is the result of Xingzhuo's efforts in exploring strange tales, so you must ensure that an absolutely safe area is established!"

Su Anyu gave a solemn military salute.

"receive!"

……

In the ghost story, Shen Xingzhuo looked at the densely packed eyeballs and suppressed the urge to vomit.

Shen Xingzhuo stood still, neither retreating nor moving forward.

She could sense that the eyes were not looking in a uniform direction—some were facing her directly, some were facing her side, and some were facing the ground or ceiling. They seemed to be randomly placed in the same space, rather than being directed at her alone.

She slowed her breathing, observed for a moment, and confirmed that they had not adjusted their orientation or moved their position during the time she had stopped.

"It's not a living thing," she said softly.

Those eyes did not react with pupil contraction, nor did they shift their gaze when they sensed her gaze.

Their rotation has a fixed rhythm, as if they are performing some kind of scanning pattern, rather than responding to a specific object.

Shen Xingzhuo stood still, slowly squatted down to reduce the height difference between herself and the ground, and found that some of her eyeballs would pause very briefly when they turned in her direction, as if they had scanned something, and then resumed their previous rhythm.

She remembered the location and interval of the pause, which occurred approximately every six seconds.

She counted twice in her mind to make sure the intervals were stable, then moved two steps to the left.

The group of eyes did not adjust their tracking after she moved, continuing to rotate at the same pace. Once Shen Xingzhuo confirmed they wouldn't actively track her movements, she straightened up, as if she had already dispelled the first layer of risk assessment.
