Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"Hurry up and get in the elevator, Brother Wuyin will be here soon."

Li Fan: "You go first, I'll be right there."

Without thinking much, Lucas reached out and touched the white dot of light. The dot quickly sucked him in, and Lucas disappeared from the ward.

Seeing that the two had entered the elevator from under the bed, Wuyin immediately ran to the bedside.

But the distance between him and the old man was too short; when he ran to the bedside, the old man was only a step away from him.

Silently, he moved very quickly, lying down to roll under the bed.

No matter how quickly he moved, the old man still walked up to him, bent down, gave him a strange smile, and put his hand on his ankle.

Wu Yin's eyes were sharp as she thought to herself.

Oh no.

I'm lying down right now, so I can't dodge or run away. If my ankle gets grabbed, I'll likely be dragged away and even further from the light.

He made a quick decision, preparing to jump up immediately, fight the old man for a while, and then think of a way to deal with it.

Just then, a semi-transparent black figure rushed towards the old man, knocking him backward.

Wuyin didn't have time to think much, and took the opportunity to quickly roll off the bed.

When he came to his senses, he realized that Li Fan was squatting by the bed, clutching his head, which he had bumped.

He instantly guessed what had just happened and couldn't help but sigh.

Li Fan, that kid, is really stubborn, to say the least.

Li Fan quickly lay down, moved under the bed, and said to Wuyin beside him.

"Quick, get in the elevator!"

Although Wu Yin was worried that Li Fan might be in danger if he stayed behind, now was not the time to refuse, so he had no choice but to steel himself and reach into the white light spot.

In an instant, the silent figure disappeared under the bed.

Li Fan quickly reached his hand into the white light spot, but at that moment, the old man grabbed Li Fan's ankle and pulled him outwards.

Li Fan was instantly dragged out from under the bed, and his hand was moved further away from the white light.

He was the only person in ward number 2 at that moment, but he was unusually calm.

When the old man dragged him like that, he not only didn't struggle at all, but instead kicked his foot forward along the old man's hand.

The old man used tremendous force to pull Li Fan, but he never expected that the boy would actually go along with his strength.

The force he exerted on Li Fan ultimately became a divine assist for Li Fan.

In an instant, Li Fan kicked the old man hard in the face.

Although the kick didn't cause much harm to the old man, it did make Li Fan's foot a little numb, but fortunately it loosened the old man's grip.

Li Fan's ankle instantly broke free from the old man's grasp.

Taking advantage of his light and swift soul form, he slipped under the bed again. This time, the old man didn't have time to catch him before his hand reached into the white light spot and entered the elevator.

The tense atmosphere in the elevator seemed to ease considerably the moment Li Fan appeared.

Lucas gave Li Fan a thumbs up.

"I have to say, you're a real man. I truly admire you. From now on, I'll call you Brother Li Fan."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan looked at Wuyin.

It seems that the elder brother just told Lucas about his heroic deeds.

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and began to speak.

"I am a soul, so I can move faster. In things that require racing against time, it's more advantageous for me to be at the bottom."

"besides……"

Chapter 151 Seventh Floor Orthopedics

Li Fan spoke again, proudly embellishing his account of his battle with the strange old man and recounting it to the two of them.

Wuyin smiled and nodded.

He knew Li Fan was definitely exaggerating, but even if he wasn't, being able to escape from that strange old man's clutches and get into the elevator was already quite impressive.

Lucas knew, of course, that Li Fan was bragging, but being a performative personality himself, he kept exclaiming in admiration, making Li Fan too embarrassed to continue.

After resting in the elevator for a while, Wuyin pressed the button to randomly ascend the elevator again.

The screen spun rapidly, finally displaying the bright red number seven.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator doors slowly opened.

The moment the door opened, everyone looked out and discovered an extremely strange situation.

The corridor outside was lit up, and a few medical staff occasionally passed by. The sounds of patients talking could be heard from the wards, and several fracture patients were doing rehabilitation exercises in the corridor.

This scene is extremely...normal.

This is clearly a normal scene, but in the world of supernatural tales, what is too normal appears extremely abnormal.

Before they could even process what was happening, a nurse suddenly walked up to the three of them. She

Unable to see Li Fan, they focused their attention on Wuyin and Lucas.

All three of them stared at the nurse warily.

Isn't this elevator a safe zone? How come they were still seen inside the elevator?

The nurse had no intention of harming them; she smiled gently at them and spoke softly.

"Are you a patient's family member? Please do not occupy the public elevator space, as other patients need to use it."

Lucas quickly responded.

"Oh, okay, we're here to visit a friend. We weren't sure if this was the right floor, but we just confirmed. We'll head out now."

The nurse nodded gently and left without making things difficult for the group.

The three of them stepped out of the elevator, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Li Fan looked at the patients who were either walking with crutches or had bandages on their hands and around their necks, and spoke up.

"This looks like the orthopedics department."

Lucas echoed this sentiment.

“When I was downstairs before, a father said that his son also lived in the orthopedics department on the 7th floor.”

So the orthopedics department is on the 7th floor.

Wuyin observed the surroundings and then spoke to the two of them.

“All the patients in this department seem to be able to communicate, so we tried to split up and look for some information.”

Lucas agreed with Wuyin's statement, since the most important thing when arriving in a new place is to gather information.

They split into two groups. Wu Yin and Li Fanxian talked to the nearby patients, while Lucas walked down the corridor to check out the entire 7th floor.

After Lucas left, Wuyin looked back at the elevator that had not yet disappeared. It seemed that this elevator was not a one-time use elevator.

Although he knew that things were unlikely to be that simple, he still wanted to give it a try.

Sure enough, after Wuyin stepped forward and pressed the elevator button, the elevator did not respond at all.

It sits here quietly, like a decoration.

Li Fan couldn't help but complain.

"They only show it to you but don't let you use it; they're just making you drool!"

Just then, a young man walked over from across the hospital corridor.

He limped over, leaning on a cane, seemingly intending to use the elevator.

Wu Yin instantly put on a kind expression.

"Young man, let me help you up."

When Li Fan saw Wu Yin reveal that familiar yet unsettling expression, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for this young man from the future.

The young man smiled and shook his head.

"No need, I need to go downstairs. It's just a few steps from the elevator, I can manage by myself."

Wu Yin smiled and nodded. In fact, he had no intention of helping at all, in case someone tried to extort money from him.

But this one sentence instantly brought the two closer.

He continued to try and get closer to her without saying a word.

Where are you going downstairs?

The young man said.

I'll go downstairs to see if the heavy rain outside has stopped.

Sigh, it's been raining heavily lately, and my dad hasn't come to see me much.

If the rain stops, I want to go home. I miss my dad.

Wuyin frowned slightly when she heard the young man say that, and tentatively spoke up.

Why didn't you use an umbrella or take a taxi home when it was raining?

The young man looked at Wuyin with a puzzled expression, his eyes becoming somewhat strange, as if he were looking at an alien, but he still explained.

"Don't you know? It's not ordinary rain outside, it's sulfuric acid rain."

Who would dare drive out now, let alone go back with an umbrella?

"You don't seem to be an orthopedic patient, right? Are you a family member visiting a patient? The fact that you came here means the rain outside must have stopped."

Now, whether Wuyin answers "it's raining" or "it's not raining," it's not good, and it might even make this strange creature realize that something is wrong.

He thought for a moment and then answered.

"Oh, I was hospitalized downstairs before. A friend of mine is in the orthopedics department on the 7th floor. I came to visit him, so I don't know if it's raining outside."
