When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

The Bureau of Ghost Stories.

This is a special organization urgently established by the Dragon Kingdom in response to the emergence of strange and unusual rules.

He is specifically in charge of all matters related to "Strange Tales of Rules".

The members inside are basically important figures in China and elites from all walks of life.

The level of authority they wield is unimaginable.

However, at this moment, when the bigwigs of the Ghost Stories Bureau saw Su Ming in his special mental illness suit on the live broadcast, they also felt a deathly silence.

At this moment, they all desperately hoped that Su Ming was a role-player with quirks, rather than a mental patient who had escaped from a mental hospital.

After all, if it were truly a mentally ill person with a problem in their brain, then it would almost certainly be a dead end.

Who knows what a mentally ill person might do!

What if I suddenly have a relapse?

However, the secretary who rushed in brought news that was a mix of good and bad.

"Leaders, according to the urgent intelligence we received, Su Ming is indeed a severely ill patient at Qingshan Mental Hospital. He suffers from severe paranoia and dissociative identity disorder, and he has always believed that another person lives inside him. This situation has lasted for a long time, and the Qingshan Mental Hospital is also helpless in dealing with him."

"However, it's worth mentioning that Su Ming usually behaves quite normally. Apart from having some unusual thinking that differs from ordinary people, he has not shown any aggression. In fact, he has an extremely strong learning ability and the ability to disguise himself. He has impersonated a chief physician in a mental hospital on several occasions, fooling everyone, and has even organized social parties for doctors and patients..."

"Technicians retrieved surveillance footage from Qingshan Mental Hospital from ten minutes ago and discovered that Su Ming did not become the Chosen One while inside the mental hospital. Instead, he escaped from the mental hospital and was chosen by the Mysterious Rules of the Game, thus becoming the Chosen One..."

"According to the AI ​​team's analysis, although Su Ming is mentally ill, he is also a genius, which is a rare advantage. However, he has a certain degree of uncontrollability and instability. Most of the time, his thinking is different from that of ordinary people. This means that when dealing with external factors, he will do many things that are hard to imagine. This is an irreparable flaw in the world of supernatural tales, and it is very likely to lead to unpredictable consequences..."

The urgent intelligence brought by the secretary undoubtedly left the assembled leaders of the Bureau of Strange Tales with mixed feelings of joy and worry.

The worry is that Su Ming is indeed a severely ill patient in the mental hospital, and this identity has been completely confirmed and there is no possibility of overturning it.

The good news is that although Su Ming is indeed mentally ill, he is also a genius, a genius with wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people.

As the saying goes, genius is on the left and madness is on the right. Su Ming, this mental patient, is somewhere in between and possesses characteristics of both.

This is a rare advantage, but it is also a huge disadvantage and flaw.

Because no one knows what he will do next, whether he will disregard the rules and ultimately perish.

Moreover, he also has the potential to develop the disease.

Given all these disadvantages and flaws, Su Ming, the chosen one, might not even perform as well as an ordinary person.

"I propose that we gather the top psychiatric experts in the country, and invite the chief physician from Qingshan Mental Hospital who knows Su Ming best. This will make it easier for us to analyze Su Ming's situation from all aspects, provide assistance, and stabilize his emotions. Otherwise, if he suddenly has an episode during the Rule of Tales, things could easily go wrong!"

A high-ranking official from the Bureau of Ghost Stories suggested,

The proposal was quickly adopted.

"This is a good suggestion. As a mental patient, we cannot make judgments about Su Ming using the thinking of ordinary people. We need the help of professionals, especially experts who understand Su Ming."

"First, invite the person over while observing Su Ming's behavior. If he shows any signs of illness or abnormal behavior, then use the opportunity to remind him to stop him."

"I just hope Su Ming can maintain his composure and perform exceptionally well!"

As the highest-ranking official in the Bureau of Ghost Stories, Director Kui quickly made the final decision.

Although the Bureau of Strange Tales no longer held much hope for Su Ming, they would not give up as long as there was a sliver of possibility. The previous series of crushing defeats had led to several cities in the Dragon Kingdom being invaded by strange tales and turned into desolate wastelands.

Despite this, it was not enough to truly cripple the Dragon Kingdom, but it undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to morale time and time again.

The Dragon Kingdom is not incapable of failure, but it cannot afford to keep failing!

When people see no hope, they often gradually lose their way in the darkness and lose their faith.

Under such circumstances, Su Ming's tiny hope becomes extremely important.

"Kuiju, the Bald Eagle Empire, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, the Sunset Empire, the Ottoman Empire... have sent messages indicating that they can alleviate some of the population pressure on the Dragon Kingdom by accepting large-scale immigration..."

"A bunch of wolves with ulterior motives, they couldn't hold back any longer!"

Kui's expression turned cold, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to reject the unreasonable demands of various countries and issue a condemnation and warning, demonstrating a tough stance.

The Dragon Kingdom isn't even gone yet, and everyone's already trying to jump out and divide it up!

Even though the Dragon Kingdom is currently in a tense and weak situation, it still has no fear of other countries!

When that time really comes, at worst we can just swap places!

.....

The world of ghost stories.

Su Ming, now in an unfamiliar room, looked around at his surroundings.

Soon, a crumpled piece of paper was found on the desk.

[Strange Tales Dungeon: The Mysterious Family]

You have a warm and happy family: a kind mother, a father who is not good with words, and a mischievous younger brother. Everything seems perfect. However, an accident leads you to discover that this seemingly warm and happy family is not as wonderful as you imagined, and that not everyone in your family is alive. Live well, live to the end, and find out the truth...
