When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

While Xu Miao and his wife were fleeing overnight, Su Ming, who was at Qingshan Mental Hospital, seemed quite calm, leisurely reading a book and petting his dog.

As for the deceased Inuno-kun? Sorry, I don't know him.

He didn't care how much trouble they caused.

Just as the outside world was getting more and more excited, the time for the next round of bizarre rule-breaking stories quietly arrived.

However, this time the situation is different from the past.

Gone are the cold, impersonal voices that echoed across the world; gone are the randomly selected special lists...

Instead, a special invitation appeared out of thin air in front of Su Ming, Aaron, Father Davis, Aleph, and Kuki, who had recently replaced Inuno-kun as the chosen one.

[Ding! Congratulations, esteemed chosen one, you have passed the trial of the Strange Tales Space and have earned the opportunity to step onto a wider and grander stage.]

【You are all "warriors" who have survived this trial, having undergone countless trials and tribulations. You are the most elite, the most powerful, and the most promising beings in the human race.】

The existence and rules of the Ghost Story Space are opposed to those of the Ghost Story itself. It is responsible for managing and suppressing the spread and growth of each Ghost Story world, preventing irreversible events, and maintaining the balance between them. Therefore, the Ghost Story Space needs elite warriors to go to various Ghost Story instances to perform missions, and you have now met the standards of the Ghost Story Space.

[Once you accept the invitation before you, you can enter the realm of supernatural tales, become true chosen ones, protectors of order, enforcers of the law, and overseers, possessing endless possibilities.]

[If you are unwilling, you may choose to tear up the invitation and refuse to go....]

The invitation was covered in dense, complex text that did not belong to any language in the human world, yet strangely, all the chosen ones could understand its meaning.

Moreover, the moment you see the words, a cold voice will echo in your mind.

For a moment, the Chosen Ones were stunned, clearly caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.

Sunset Empire.

Aaron looked at the invitation in front of him, a hint of emotion appearing on his face, but a sense of relief also appeared in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he decisively tore the invitation in front of him to shreds and chose to refuse.

[Ding! Respected Chosen One, you have refused His invitation. You will no longer be able to use your strange abilities in front of outsiders, otherwise you will be severely punished.]

Seeing the bloody notification appear before him, Aaron showed no fear whatsoever. He smiled, as if he had been completely freed, and without a second thought, threw the eerie items with strange abilities, such as the [Demon Mask] and the [Strange Jar], into the safe.

"Compared to power, I want something else that is more important."

......

Bald Eagle Empire.

"Strange Tales Space..."

Father Davis stared at the invitation before him, his dark eyes like a stone thrown into still water, creating ripples.

After experiencing a remarkable life and mastering bizarre and powerful abilities, can one truly return to the mundane life of an ordinary person?

For ambitious people, a mundane life with a predictable end is undoubtedly torture; in comparison, a magnificent and legendary future is what they desire.

.....

The Ice Bear Empire.

Aleph stared at the invitation in front of him, but fell into an eerie silence.

Having learned more secrets, he was undoubtedly caught in a dilemma.

Unlike Father Aaron and Father Davis, Aleph valued his country more.

In the end, he tore up the invitation in front of him and chose to refuse.

If this were the last round of conscription in the real world, he would accept without hesitation.

However, this is ultimately just a fantasy.

Even after he leaves, there will be another round, and the next round of strange rules and legends, like an endless cycle.

Perhaps after countless ghost stories have occurred...

The Ice Bear Empire may disappear completely from the annals of history after a series of defeats...

At that moment, Aleph felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

This is an irresistible trend.

"Hopefully, when the next round of bizarre rule-based events arrives, a spark can be preserved for this country."

.....

The land of cherry blossoms.

A figure wearing a cloak and concealing his face was carrying an ice coffin on his back.

Inside the ice coffin was a woman who had lost all life, with bruised handprints on her neck and a delicate face.

"Haruko, I will find a way to bring you back to life."

.....

Dragon Kingdom, Qingshan Mental Hospital.

"No matter how nice the words are, they can't cover up the bloody truth behind them."

"Warriors? They're nothing more than the strongest 'beasts' chosen from a breeding farm!"

"With such an extreme method of raising 'gu' (a type of insect), aren't they afraid of being devoured by it?"

Su Ming looked at the contents of the invitation in front of him and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

The silly dog ​​at my feet tilted its head and looked at its owner, sensing that there was something more to the story!

Forget it, that silly little dog doesn't care about all that!

Who cares about some kind of ghost story or supernatural space, as long as I can stay by my master's side, that's all that matters.

"It will all end!"

Su Ming glanced at the dog's head tilting to the side, revealed a meaningful smile, and accepted the invitation in front of him.

A strange light suddenly emanated from the invitation, teleporting the figures of a person and a dog away.

......

"What's going on? Isn't the time up? Why hasn't the voice from the strange rule appeared yet?"

"Could it be a delay, or a traffic jam?"

"What's going on? Did you say something wrong?"

At this moment, viewers and high-ranking officials from various countries, unaware that the chosen one was facing a choice, began to discuss it animatedly.

However, their doubts didn't last long.

A cold, ruthless voice suddenly resounded throughout the world.

[The 2365th round of trials has concluded. All chosen ones have made their choices and are beginning to erase all traces of this trial...]

The words had barely left his lips when, before the entire human world could even react, all traces of the strange tales about rules were forcibly erased.

Cities around the world that have fallen are beginning to sink little by little into the depths of the sea.

Because of successive defeats, the destroyed country completely disappeared into the annals of history.

.....

With a spatial distortion, Father Davis, Kumu, Su Ming, and Sha Gou appeared in a vast and boundless space.

One after another, constantly rotating "stars" spun beneath their feet, emitting various lights.

Those stars represent different "worlds of ghost stories".

Welcome to the Ghost Stories Space. All internal killings are strictly prohibited here. Violation of the rules will be punished!

You may choose a "star" as your exclusive territory and hold the power of life and death over all creatures that inhabit that "star".

【Chosen Ones, in seven days you will begin your first collective mission in a real instance!】

[Ding! Due to the emergence of a special individual among the chosen ones in this selection, the difficulty of the real dungeon seven days from now will be significantly increased. Selection is now in progress...]

[Congratulations, chosen ones! You will be entering a large-scale Western fantasy-themed instance in seven days: "The Tragedy of God"...]

A chilling voice echoed throughout the ghost story space.

Father Davis and Kumu, who had somehow come together, both turned their attention to the figure of the man and the dog.

It goes without saying who that particular individual is...
