When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

At the same time, the other chosen ones also began to take action.

However, for some reason, the starting situation of the other chosen ones is obviously different from that of Su Ming.

Su Ming starts out locked in a coffin and has to save himself.

However, Aaron, Father Davis, Aleph, Inuno-kun, Basef, and other chosen ones actually appeared outside the coffin?!

The coffin was not buried in the ground, but placed in front of the chosen one.

Even more bizarrely, the other chosen ones were in rooms with only two painted blood-red doors.

These are the gates to the north, which are depicted as fierce ghosts and gods, and the gates to the south, which are depicted as bloodthirsty demons.

However, the gate on the west side, which was carved with demons and monsters, and the gate on the east side, which was carved with strange puppet shadows, did not appear; instead, only a white wall was shown.

Such a huge difference almost caused the chosen ones from various countries watching the live broadcast to explode instantly.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the difference is enormous!

It's like the difficulty of the dungeon was deliberately adjusted.

They didn't try to hide it at all!

"Holy crap, what's going on? Is this weird rule-based story specifically targeting my brother Su? They're putting him in a coffin right from the start? And they're even discriminating against him!"

"Are you kidding me?! This is blatant targeting of my brother Su!"

"What's going on? The other chosen ones are outside the coffin, but my brother Su is locked inside from the start? And my brother Su starts with four doors, while the others only have two? Aren't those extra two doors even more dangerous?!"

"Yosh, that's what you call fair! Your Dragon Kingdom monster is way too overpowered. The Rules of the Strange World specially set some difficulties for him to accommodate the other chosen ones, which is normal!"

"Yes, I agree with the Japanese audience's point of view. Your monster from China is far more powerful than ordinary people in every aspect. It's normal for him to be treated differently by the supernatural legends!"

"Hehe, every time that monster from your Dragon Kingdom participates in the Rules of the Strange, he greatly increases the difficulty, leading to an increase in the death rate of many new Chosen Ones. Now even the Rules of the Strange are having a problem with him and have started adjusting the difficulty."

In this world, no one is a fool. After the last "Haunted Building" instance, even the most clueless high-ranking officials and spectators could clearly sense that something was wrong.

Every time Su Ming appears in the Strange Tales dungeon, almost all the other Chosen Ones die, and the difficulty increases dramatically.

On the contrary, as long as Su Mingren is not around, the difficulty of the dungeon drops drastically, like a cliff falling.

Such a huge difference instantly made high-ranking officials and audiences from various countries lose their composure.

They wanted to demand an explanation from the Dragon Kingdom, but they lacked the confidence to do so.

They're hoping to get a certain American to stand up for them, but the attacks on the American side just ended not long ago...

Since I have no real confidence and no other options, all I can do is verbally harass the other party.

......

The world of ghost stories.

"Is this some kind of undead monster, a zombie, from the East?"

Aaron stared at the blue-faced, fanged zombie with a look of curiosity.

To ensure he would be able to access the Eastern instance in the future, he had been cramming on knowledge of Eastern culture, which naturally allowed him to recognize the existence of zombies.

After all, this is a monster on par with Western vampires.

Moreover, both of them enjoy sucking human blood.

"According to the clue in Rule One, there's something useful hidden inside the coffin!"

Soon, after searching around, Aaron discovered the large gold tooth hidden in the zombie's mouth and was overjoyed.

Clearly, this is the hidden "gain".

He stretched out his right hand, which was covered in a leather glove, grabbed the gold tooth, and pulled it out effortlessly.

You should know that these are zombie teeth; it would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to pull them out by force.

The reason for this, of course, is the [Power Glove] that Aaron wears on his right hand.

This is a ghost story item he obtained in the [Haunted Building].

He can instantly gather all his muscle power into his right hand and unleash superhuman strength.

This ability seems quite ordinary, not as powerful as other ghost story items.

But for Aaron, it was very practical.

After all, this ghost story prop doesn't have many side effects.

(The rewards for Easy difficulty are different from those for Hell difficulty.)

After pulling out the gold tooth, Aaron hesitated for a moment, then pulled out the zombie's other fangs and long nails, ground them into ash little by little, and smeared them on his body.

A putrid smell instantly masked his human scent.

Finally, he took off the burial clothes from the zombie and put them on himself.

At this moment, apart from lacking sharp fangs and long fingernails, he resembled a zombie in many ways.

However, his unusual hair color and azure eyes betrayed him.

Overall, it's somewhat like a fusion of Chinese and Western elements in a "foreign zombie" style.

[Rule Two: The maze is fraught with danger. You might consider disguising yourself and avoiding revealing your human identity to anyone.]

"Based on the hints from Rule Two, there are likely quite a few monsters inside the maze. Humans are probably the lowest prey; if they are easily exposed, they will easily attract the attention of those who covet them. Now, by donning the guise of a 'zombie,' they can at least ensure their safety for a short period of time."

Looking at the enormous coffin before him, Aaron remained silent for a moment, but ultimately decided not to take it with him.

Although, according to Rule 1, the coffin clearly has some use.

But this thing is just too heavy.

He could lift it briefly with the Power Gloves, but it was absolutely impossible for him to keep it on his person indefinitely.

I'm afraid I'll be exhausted soon.

The Power Gloves gave him more explosive power than endurance.

Unless he puts on the [Demon Mask] and enters "Demonization", he can be easily taken away.

However, the trump card of "demonization" is not yet ready to be used easily.

Ultimately, Aaron chose the gate with the bloodthirsty demonic patterns carved on it, because in his view, those patterns were very similar to the terrifying image of a zombie with a blue face and fangs.

His hybrid "zombie," a blend of East and West, should be able to blend in and give him a better chance of success.

After Aaron left, the fangs and nails that had been pulled out from the zombie inside the coffin slowly grew back.

The fingers, which had been still, suddenly twitched.

.....

The world of ghost stories.

Father Davis made a similar move to Aaron at that moment.

However, he did it even more ruthlessly.

He peeled off the zombie's skin bit by bit and put it on himself.
