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

The school uniforms worn by Shen Xingzhuo and Hua Jiuyue were torn and ripped in several places by tree branches while they were fleeing in the forest.

After twice rummaging through his pockets and inserting his hand into the crack, Shen Xingzhuo noticed something was wrong.

The fabric around her liver was thicker than in other areas.

However, the tear is located at the back, and unless she takes off her short-sleeved shirt, she cannot see that location on her own.

"Hua Jiuyue, can you help me see what's here?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Jiuyue walked behind Shen Xingzhuo.

Her expression changed for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Hua Jiuyue opened the tear in the clothes, "There's a patch inside, sewn on using a blind stitching method, so you can't see it from the outside."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the patch was torn off and fell into Hua Jiuyue's hands.

Hua Jiuyue examined the piece of fabric repeatedly, a look of doubt on her face: "Isn't this just an ordinary piece of cloth?"

Shen Xingzhuo took the fabric from her hand and pressed it to her lips.

The skin on the lips is the most sensitive, and Shen Xingzhuo found the problem almost instantly.

"In some places, it will be a bit stiffer than regular fabric."

Shen Xingzhuo quickly immersed her consciousness into her inner vision—

"I'm Shen Xing, a student who's always wanted to escape this school."

"The school has illegal laboratories and imposes very strict controls on students."

"The conditions for being sent to solitary confinement include... disciplinary violations, poor academic performance, being seen as an oddball by everyone... I think wanting to escape is also one of the conditions."

The elevator is strange, but the specifics are unknown.

"The forest is not a forest, or rather, the image of a forest is not a forest. The fruit of the ginkgo tree represents... male genitalia. The sordid things at this school go beyond cruel experiments."

"..."

In short, if Shen Xing wants to escape, she needs a reason that makes it impossible for her to continue being cowardly.

Shen Xingzhuo's ears twitched as he heard the sounds of chaos and arrests in the distance.

"Shen Xing must possess something they must destroy."

Shen Xing is a smart and cautious girl; she will do what she believes is foolproof. But whether she succeeds... we'll have to see.

As Shen Xingzhuo was thinking, the voice of the wielding ghost suddenly rang out.

[Congratulations to Shen Xingzhuo, the chosen one of Tianxia Kingdom, for getting closer to the truth of the story!]

Current exploration progress: 56%.

[Because Shen Xingzhuo became the first chosen one to unlock the mission progress, he is hereby awarded a special privilege—]

The scalpel demon drew out his words, raising everyone's expectations.

But Shen Xingzhuo pursed her lips.

"It's definitely up to no good!"

Sure enough, when the voice of the scalpel demon came out, she rolled her eyes completely.

This privilege is—the special skill "Forming Factions"!

The chosen one, Shen Xingzhuo, can choose five chosen ones from other countries to be his own people and walk through the rest of this strange tale together.
