Rules of the Strange: I Can See Through All the Weird

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Qi Tong ran towards Chen Jie's direction again.

Chen Jie thought this woman was there to harm him, and continued his frantic shouting.

"Come on! Kill me!"

Qi Tong pushed aside the head that was blocking the words and looked at the line of text.

really.

The "no" in "don't do it again in the next life" also has a little upturned tail.

The crimson rules, or rather, the hints, in the hall, as well as the note reminding her not to take the medicine, all came from the same person—the person locked up here.

Just then, heavy footsteps came from outside the iron gate.

"Bang...bang..."

Every step felt like it was treading on Qi Tong's heart.

Qi Tong and Xu Ning both sensed the danger. They exchanged a glance but remained silent.

The iron gate was easily pushed open the next second.

An NPC, over two meters tall and dressed like a butcher, walked in.

His obese belly was about to burst the apron in front of him, which was already stained dark red with blood.

I saw Qi Tong and Xu Ning.

The butcher NPC's eyes, which had been devoid of any emotion, suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Qi Tong recognized that look in his eyes.

It's like a cow or horse that obediently goes to work every day suddenly seeing the benefits given out by the boss.

"Are you all here to keep me company...? Hehehe, stay here and keep me company, I'll dismember you beautifully..."

The greasy fat on his face trembled incessantly as he spoke.

He casually grabbed a machete hanging on the wall and swung it towards Xu Ning.

Xu Ning dodged the attack, and then slashed at Qi Tong beside him. Xu Ning instinctively threw out an item to teleport Qi Tong to his side.

His chopping technique was completely haphazard, relying entirely on brute force.

The machete didn't hit Qi Tong; instead, it disappeared into the ground.

With that kind of force, one stab would either kill him or leave him with parts.

Xu Ning and Qi Tong took advantage of the moment he drew his sword and immediately ran out the door.

With that kind of strength, even if they knew some fighting techniques, they would be hacked to pieces.

The butcher drew his knife and was about to give chase when Qi Tong immediately used "Xiao Qin's Claw Cage" on him.

Xiaoqin's claw cage can trap an enemy for ten seconds.

Suddenly, a giant, hand-shaped skeleton appeared around the butcher, firmly grasping him in its palm.

The two ran quickly to the door, and Qi Tong pulled hard, opening the iron door instantly.

Xu Ning also threw a smoke bomb into the doorway to confuse the NPCs.

They ran up the stairs, opened the second door, and saw that the familiar corridor was empty. The only response they received was the faint green light of the "Emergency Exit" sign.

The two ran to their respective hospital rooms, quickly crawled into bed, and pretended nothing had happened, though their hearts were still pounding inside.

"Liu Zi, what time is it in the dungeon now?"

[It's already 2 AM, host.]

It's 2 o'clock. The patient's handbook says to get up and wash at 7 o'clock.

She has five hours of rest time.

Chen Jie, who originally planned to kill Qi Tong on the first day of this instance, never expected to become a lamb to the slaughter himself.

Looking at the butcher in front of him, who was angry because his "prey" had escaped, he was grinning foolishly at him, drool dripping onto Chen Jie's face.

Chen Jie only wished for him to die quickly so that the prop could take effect and he could return to his hospital bed as soon as possible.

But how could the butcher let him die so easily?

He practically made Chen Jie try out every single knife on the wall.

As Chen Jie lay dying, he remembered the bet he had placed on the forum: he was betting that Qi Tong wouldn't survive the first night of the third instance.

Yes, he is the "Night Walker" on the forum.

Fortunately, he used a prop to block the live stream.

As long as he gets out of the instance, when Qi Tong dies is entirely up to him.

Finally, the butcher prepared to cut out his heart.

Feeling the stinging pain, I watched helplessly as the butcher ripped my heart out.

Chen Jie slowly closed his eyes and did not open them again.

......

When I regained consciousness, it was already morning.

Chen Jie suddenly sat up in bed, the pain in his body and the feeling of his heart being torn apart had not completely subsided.

He sat on the hospital bed and massaged his chest for a while before getting up and getting out of bed when he felt he had recovered enough.

The NPC in the same ward is still asleep, which means it should be before 7 o'clock.

He was extremely thirsty and wanted to go to the cafeteria to get some mung bean soup, but he remembered the cafeteria's opening hours and that he wouldn't drink the water in the ward, so he had to endure it.

The alarm clock for waking up was playing on the radio.

The patients gradually woke up and got up to wash themselves.

Each ward has a private bathroom.

Seeing the other two NPCs finish washing up and come out of the bathroom, Chen Jie went in and looked at the water flowing gently from the faucet.

He swallowed hard.

You can't drink the water from the water dispenser in the ward, but you should be able to drink the water from the bathroom, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Jie cupped his hands and drank the water in large gulps.

After relieving himself of his physical needs, Chen Jie found a disposable toothbrush and paper cup in the cabinet under the sink.

He squeezed on the toothpaste and prepared to brush his teeth.

Looking at his own dejected reflection in the mirror, the hatred in his heart grew stronger.

He had worked so hard to reach this position, and because of his status as the "chosen one," everyone fawned over and respected him.

But only he knew that he didn't have any so-called "system" at all, nor was he a "chosen one".

But once he reached the top of the newcomer list, the outside world believed whatever he said.

Therefore, he understood even better that only those with high status could enjoy more rights.

This timeless principle applies just as well in the bizarre world.

He was able to climb to this position entirely because of his ruthlessness and fearless spirit.

You play games with me, but I'm going to play with my life!

The transparent liquid flowing from the faucet gradually turned red and began to thicken. It was no longer flowing as vigorously as when it was first turned on; instead, it flowed slowly.

The sink was also stained red.

Chen Jie acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued to rinse his mouth and wash his face with the water.

----

Awakened by the ringing alarm, Qi Tong covered her ears and habitually lingered in bed for a while before finally getting out of bed.

Upon seeing the woman emerge from the restroom, Qi Tong immediately woke up, and her drowsiness vanished.

1065?

This woman has the same face as 1065, but her upper body is not as large as the previous 1065. Instead, she has a well-proportioned figure and is a very slender woman.

At that moment, she was using a comb to gently stroke her long hair.

Qi Tong rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

She quickly got out of bed, passed by 1065, and made a point of looking at her nameplate.

The serial number is clearly engraved as 1065. The name part is completely illegible, as if it is obscured by a small fog.

Qi Tong used "Xiao Qin's Tears" for identification, but the result was still unclear.

She looked at 1066 again; only the number was visible on her nameplate.

She looked down at her nameplate again; her name and number were both visible.

Qi Tong was washing up in the bathroom, her mind racing.

Is this a resurrection of the previous 1065, or a new 1065?
