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

"I..." Shen Zhiyi lowered her head, looking at her own hand—no, Xiaoyi's hand. "I can speak now."

Suddenly, the number 666 appeared uncontrollably in my mind.

He wasn't speaking to Qi Tong, but directly to Shen Zhiyi.

I've received your feelings. You want to destroy your father's great cause. That hatred, I can help you. I can amplify that feeling. Then all the NPCs will sense your hatred.

Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up for a moment.

But Qi Tong pressed down on her shoulder and said into her mind, "Wait. Don't use that ability yet. Let's get the USB drive first. What Shen Zhiyi needs to face isn't hatred, but her father himself."

"Okay... okay, host. But what I just said wasn't what I wanted to say... It feels like something is controlling me..."

Explain yourself.

Ever since I saw that woman from the library smile last time, sometimes when I want to send an emoticon, I suddenly send something that I didn't say. I'm finding it increasingly hard to control myself.

[Host, what kind of system am I? I don't think I'm just an ordinary romance system.]

Qi Tong remained silent for a long time.

"I'd also like to know the answer to that question."

The so-called romance system is probably something that allows her to win over players in dungeons, right?

So far, Qi Tong has not received any tasks related to romance.

[Holy crap, how did a child suddenly appear out of nowhere?]

Was the anchor talking to the little girl the whole time?

But I can't hear the little girl speaking. Her mouth is clearly moving. Am I misunderstanding something? Can you hear her?

I can't hear you either!

Qi Tong opened the bathroom door and called 1066 in.

As soon as 1066 entered, he looked at the rag doll and nervously asked Qi Tong.

"Did the baby say anything else? Is she still calling for help?"

Seeing that 1066 showed no abnormality, not even glancing at "Xiaoyi" next to him.

Qi Tong was finally relieved.

It seems that no one but her can see Xiaoyi.

She was relieved; otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to explain to the nurse why a little girl had suddenly appeared.

"The baby is no longer crying for help; it's completely healed."

As Qi Tong spoke, she picked up the rag doll, and 1066 naturally took it into her arms.

1066 looked at Qi Tong gratefully, repeatedly saying, "Thank you... thank you..."

[The NPC's gratitude towards the host has been detected. Please save more people, host!]

Can 666 even feel gratitude?

Qi Tong couldn't help but rub her fingers together.

Perhaps 666 does indeed have another identity.

......

Chen Jie's live stream is getting incredibly boring.

He attracted many viewers because he was ranked first on the newcomer list.

When the viewers rushed into the live broadcast room, they found that Chen Jie was resting in a hospital bed.

I watched it like that for over an hour, and it was really boring.

Many viewers have already switched to other players' live streams in the same instance.

Chen Jie, who had been asleep all along, had no idea that he had lost a large number of viewers.

He didn't wake up until evening.

His head was a little sore, and he instinctively reached out to rub it.

A dull, tearing pain shot through his wrist, and he realized he was locked in a hospital bed.

He struggled desperately, but the lock on his wrists tightened more and more.

In his current state, even if he could summon items, he wouldn't be able to use them!

He made a snap decision and summoned the corrosive liquid from space into his handcuffed hands.

This is an S+ item he obtained in the previous dungeon; it can corrode everything.

I originally planned to use this to wipe out all my enemies, leaving not even a trace...

But now, if he doesn't ruthlessly push himself, he won't be able to get out at all!

Chen Jie shook the bottle of corrosive liquid with his hand at maximum force, and some liquid spilled out of the bottle opening.

Before it even reached the handcuffs, it spilled onto my own hands.

Sweat beaded on Chen Jie's forehead from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and continued shaking.

The burning sound kept ringing in his ears, and Chen Jie dared not delay for even a moment.

Any slower and his hand would have been completely corroded!

He frantically swung his fists, and the handcuffs on his hands finally tore open with a "rip" sound, corroding into liquid.

Chen Jie also only had two fingers left on his hand.

He continued to endure the pain as he unlocked the handcuffs on his other wrist.

Half a bottle of corrosive liquid was used up.

Chen Jie has finally regained his freedom.

But at the same time, there were hardly any good pieces of flesh left on his limbs.

He lay on the hospital bed, breathing heavily.

Take out a painkiller and a recovery pill and swallow them.

At the same time, I counted 1, 2, 3 in my mind.

When he counted to 3, the pain in Chen Jie's body seemed to be pulled away, and granulation tissue grew back where his fingers had been.

He looked out the window; the sky outside had turned completely black.

The black color looked dangerous, as if staring at it for even a second longer would result in being sucked in and crushed.

Chen Jie looked away.

Chen Jie lay on the hospital bed for several minutes until his hand had fully recovered before leaving the ward.

......

While Chen Jie was still struggling with the corrosive liquid in the ward, Qi Tong and Xu Ning had already changed into nurses' uniforms.

Xu Ning was very meticulous, and she even stole a matching nurse's cap.

The two of them disguised themselves so well that they actually looked convincing.

The only difference is the nameplate.

After changing clothes, the nameplate automatically appears on the new clothes.

It seems that nameplates that symbolize identity cannot be stolen.

Qi Tong took something out of the pocket of the hospital gown and put the gown into her spatial storage.

Xu Ning stared at it curiously.

"What is it?"

Nail polish.

"What time is it? You're still thinking about painting your nails?"

Qi Tong didn't say anything, but she had already opened the nail polish and taken out a brush. She started applying nail polish to the nameplate on her chest.

The white nameplate was painted with silver nail polish, and it was hard to tell the difference from the nurse's silver nameplate unless you looked closely.

Xu Ning gave a thumbs up and also painted her nail polish on her nameplate.

After disguising themselves, they stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor.

Qi Tong never forgot to keep "Xiao Yi" with her, and even Xu Ning didn't notice Xiao Yi's presence.

Xu Ning said with some concern.

"Yesterday when I went to the basement, I walked this way, I came here before, but I couldn't step onto the third floor stairs."

"Every time I step on it, I'm back down the steps the next second."

"Let's try this time. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

The three of them stepped onto the stairs at the same time, followed by the second and third steps.

They successfully fooled the bizarre detection system.

However, Xiaoyi was completely undetectable.

They quickly went up to the third floor and headed towards the office at the end of the corridor.

Qi Tong muttered to himself as he walked.

"Let's try forcibly dismantling the cabinet and see if that works. If that doesn't work, then we'll confront the dean directly."

To get the key, I need to confront the dean... Wait, no!

She glanced at Xiao Yi, who was following behind her. Invisible, undetectable, and able to pass through walls.

Isn't this just a born thief?
