When I was in a world of unconventional rules and taboos

Dig!

You weren't like that just now!

Shouldn't this be a story about deep brotherhood?

Why did they even resort to violence?

And they hit me so hard!

Besides, he really didn't eat!

The boy's sinister expression froze instantly. He felt completely dazed and disbelieving, as if his soul had been stolen away.

Both sides of her little face started to swell up, turning a large, bright red patch, perfectly symmetrical, just like a bright red apple.

This shows just how hard Su Ming slapped her twice – he really slapped her to death!

The brat never imagined he would suffer such humiliation. His eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. If his mother hadn't been there, he probably would have taken Su Ming down with him.

However, faced with the resentful and fierce gaze of the unruly child before her,

Su Ming didn't say much, but silently raised his hand again.

"What, you're not convinced? Want to have a go with your brother?"

"No! No!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the younger brother, who was also a wise man in the middle school, lowered his head without hesitation. However, his trembling shoulders clearly showed that he was not at peace with himself.

This is so damn frustrating.

I got slapped twice for no reason and had nowhere to complain.

But the current situation is not right, so we can only endure it for now!

I will endure!

Seeing that his mischievous younger brother had given in, Su Ming didn't press the matter further. Instead, he smiled as he looked at his mother, whose face was stiff at the kitchen door.

"Mom, my younger brother is being a bit disobedient. As his older brother, is it okay for me to teach him a lesson?"

At this moment, Su Ming seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role of "older brother," and every move he made appeared exceptionally harmonious.

As the eldest son in the family and the future pillar of the family, it would be truly laughable if he couldn't even discipline his disobedient younger brother.

If he wanted to, he could just grab the brat by the scruff of his neck and whip him mercilessly!

As long as things don't go too far, and with Mom acting as a stabilizing force, the mischievous younger brother would never dare to misbehave.

The mother looked at the two brothers who were "getting along" well in front of her, her stiff face showing no emotion. She completely ignored her younger son's swollen face, which looked like a monkey's bottom. However, her eerie black eyes quickly focused on the black serrated dagger in Su Ming's hand that was fluttering like a butterfly.

"Where did it come from?"

"Oh, this? My little brother gave it to me, right, bro?"

Su Ming didn't stop the black dagger in his hand that was dancing wildly like a butterfly. He looked at his younger brother, who was enduring the mischievousness beside him, with a smile, and his right hand subconsciously rose again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Seeing that he was about to get another slap, the brat jumped in fright and nodded hurriedly, but his contorted little face showed his resentment and reluctance.

It was obvious that the jet-black serrated dagger was very important to him.

Su Ming also recognized the dagger's special nature, which is why he didn't intend to return it to the brat in front of him.

Seeing that the matter was almost resolved,

The mother's eerie dark eyes lingered on the two troublesome children for a moment before she simply said a few words and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

"Dinner's almost ready, stop playing!"

.....

"Hahaha, look how pathetic this brat is right now. He got slapped twice for no reason, had his dagger stolen, and has to pretend nothing happened!"

"Holy crap, awesome! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. They're treating ghost stories like dirt! Dude, you're amazing! Who the hell called you crazy? I'll fight them! You're the hope of China!"

"I understand now. The theme of this ghost story world is family. As the eldest son in the family, the Chosen One has enormous advantages. Apart from his parents, he is the most powerful!"

"There's actually such a trick? This is practically a hidden rule! If used well, it's almost invincible! If anyone tells me that Brother Su is mentally ill, I'll fight them! Brother Su is awesome! He discovered this hidden rule so quickly!"

"Wait a minute, my brother and mom don't look like normal people. Could it be that the only living person is Dad? But if that's the case, wouldn't that conflict with Rule Four? Rule Four states that you shouldn't be alone with your father, which means that Dad might also have problems!"

"Hey guys upstairs, haven't you forgotten something? That black, serrated dagger in that kid's hand could very well be some kind of strange, supernatural artifact!"

"Holy crap, I almost didn't notice! No wonder that brat looked like he'd just lost his father. That dagger was clearly suspicious; it was obviously a hidden artifact from a ghost story!"

"Brother Su is awesome! He got a weapon right at the start of the game, that's an absolute perfect start!"

Outside, the Chinese audience who had been watching the situation unfold instantly erupted in excitement.

The leaders of the Bureau of Strange Tales were also experiencing a real rollercoaster ride, and were left speechless by Su Ming's bizarre antics.

Previously appearing several years older, Kui Ju seemed to have taken a miraculous tonic; his complexion instantly became rosy, and he excitedly shouted:

"Great! Great! There's hope for the Dragon Kingdom!"

.....

At this moment, the Bald Eagle Empire, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, the Sunset Empire, and other countries, after witnessing Su Ming's extraordinary actions and obtaining a dagger that resembled a legendary artifact, could no longer remain silent.

If they could still bear the "hidden benefits" brought by the blood-red moonlight, it was because the moon was there and they couldn't escape it.

Now, however, there is an opportunity to obtain "mystery items," which is a different story.

You should know that "ghost story items" are treasures that can combat strange ghost stories, and they are the most special kind of items.

So far, only the Bald Eagle Empire got lucky in a certain ghost story instance and obtained a one-time "ghost story item".

Other countries haven't even seen a trace of "ghost story props".

The Dragon Kingdom has not only unlocked some of the secrets of the supernatural world ahead of them and gained hidden benefits, but has also obtained a supernatural weapon. How can they fall behind?

Naturally, the goal is to maximize all benefits.

Ideally, their chosen one should obtain a hidden ghost item!

Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, wouldn't we suffer a great loss?

"Hahaha, that mentally ill guy from China is really lucky to have stumbled upon so many good things. But all these benefits are now ours."

"It's perfect to include the 'hidden benefits' aspect of Rule One in the plan; it's a win-win situation."

Almost without hesitation, the top officials of various countries chose to take advantage of the first opportunity to issue a warning.

Soon, in the world of ghost stories, the chosen ones from various countries who were blocked at the door by their mischievous younger brother received their first intelligence from their own country.
