Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"This is nothing. There are more important things I need your help with later."

Richard asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you need my help with?"

Wuyin didn't look up, keeping everyone in suspense.

You'll find out then.

As he spoke, he picked up the last key from the keychain, and with a "click," the lock cylinder turned, and the door opened.

It was still very dark inside, and the two of them went in together.

The storage room was quiet, with only the smell of rotting meat and the pounding of their hearts.

Richard hunched his shoulders and rubbed his arms, speaking in a strange tone.

"Don't you think it's a bit too cold in here?"

Wuyin felt the familiar coldness and frowned as she spoke.

"Stop hiding, come out."

Richard tilted his head.

"What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of blue mist slowly emanated from the ground and floated in the air.

Upon seeing the blue mist, Richard reacted as if stressed, panicking and running to a corner to crouch down with his head in his hands.

He kept muttering to himself, "You can't see me, you can't see me..."

Wuyin merely glanced at him indifferently, ignoring him, and continued to speak calmly while facing the blue mist.

“Daddy Pig, I know it’s you.”

The blue mist seemed to pause for a moment, but it didn't last long before it suddenly transformed into a blue mist blade, swiftly slicing towards Wuyin.

Wu Yin's eyes sharpened. Had he guessed wrong?

No, all the information points to this answer: the blue fog is 99% likely the pig father.

But if the truth is that 1%, then this strange rule story wouldn't just be rated S-level, it would be Super S-level.

Just as the blue mist blade was about to slice through, Wuyin quickly ducked down. The blue mist didn't have time to react and hit the wall, scattering into a mess.

Wuyin looked back and noticed that there wasn't a single scratch on the wall.

Does the mist blade have no power?

He suddenly remembered the blue mist behind him yesterday, reaching for the back of his neck with its sharp claws.

If you could really kill him instantly, why bother slowly scaring him like that?

Moreover, if he could touch a physical object, he probably would have torn Lady Antelope to pieces long ago.

So he must have been instructed by someone.

Wuyin glanced at Richard, who was trembling beside her, and was about to speak again when the blue mist surged in again.

By this time, he had deduced that the fog could not cause any real harm, so he took out the ballpoint pen from his pocket, intending to puncture it.

Suddenly, the blue mist changed course, veering to the side and enveloping the dinosaur doll in Wuyin's left hand.

In an instant, a chilling sensation swept over Wuyin's left hand, and he could no longer exert any force; the doll slipped from his grasp.

Blue mist enveloped the scary doll, which slowly floated on the ceiling of the storage room.

Wuyin discovered that his mental state kept declining once he left the dinosaur.

So that's what dinosaurs meant by keeping you sane.

Fortunately, my mental energy is currently sufficient, and the rate of decline is not too fast.

He looked up at Richard, who was trembling in the corner beside him, his voice cold and carrying a hint of danger.

Stop pretending.

"Wasn't he someone you ordered to do it? What are you afraid of?"

Richard looked up abruptly.

"How did you know? Oh, no, I mean, how could you say that?"

His current expression of surprise is completely different from when he was trembling just now.

"The blue mist is visible only to you and me. If it's not you, then could it be me?"

Wuyin rolled her eyes and walked towards Richard.

Richard chuckled and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

"I was just teasing you, why are you so anxious?"

Then he looked up at the blue mist and spoke.

"Daddy Pig, give the dinosaur back to him."

The blue mist on the ceiling was slowly fading, and the dinosaur dolls gradually fell from the sky.

Wuyin caught the dinosaur doll from below, patted off the dust, and his mental state gradually stabilized.

So this blue mist is Daddy Pig, no mistake.

Richard, who was in the corner, also stood up. When Wuyin couldn't see him, a dark and ambiguous light flashed in his eyes.

"So, this is your flesh, right?"

Wuyin, holding the dinosaur doll, looked at the metal cabinet.

After asking this question, the blue mist seemed unusually agitated, relentlessly ramming against the metal cabinet.

However, each time it hit the metal cabinet, the mist would disperse into a ball, then recombine, and then it would hit the cabinet again.

Richard walked over to Wuyin, then looked up at the blue mist and offered his advice.

“Daddy Pig, don’t waste your energy. This cabinet has been protected by the ‘Creator’. Even if you smash your soul apart, you still can’t open it.”

"Unless we can find the key to the cabinet."

Richard said this while looking at Wuyin, as if hinting at something.

Suddenly, Wuyin asked Richard a question.

"What will happen to him after the cabinet is opened?"

He stared intently at Richard's expression, but Richard seemed perfectly at ease, spreading his hands as he explained.

"The soul will solidify into his original shape, that is, from the mist state to the state of Daddy Pig."

Chapter 17 The Silent Plan

Although Richard didn't seem to be lying, Wuyin still wanted to ask Pig Daddy some questions.

He looked up at the blue mist and asked.

"Daddy Pig, did you find George at school a year ago?"

The blue mist stopped crashing and drifted to Wuyin's eyes.

It seemed to be thinking about something, then wrapped around the ballpoint pen in Wuyin's hand and wrote "No" on the wall.

Richard patted Silent on the shoulder.

"I know you don't believe me, but I really have no reason to lie to you about this."

"I rescued George from school and took him home; otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago."

"Besides, there are some things I can't say too specifically at school, because walls have ears."

Wuyin glanced at Richard beside her but didn't say anything more.

He took out his keychain and tried to open the metal cabinet one key at a time.

If it is truly as Richard said, that the mist transforms into humanoid souls, then it only adds the function of language.

Not only is it not harmful, it also makes communication more convenient.

But even after trying all the keys he had, he still couldn't open the metal cabinet.

Seeing this, Richard sat down helplessly on the ground and sighed.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Wu Yin had already guessed this outcome. If the cabinet could be opened so easily, he would even think there was a trap waiting for him to fall into.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, the door to the storage room was violently kicked open.

"George... got you!"

A sinister voice came from the doorway, sending chills down one's spine.

The two turned sharply to look at the door. The red-eyed Lady Antelope was standing there, holding a key in her hand, with a strange smile on her face.

Are you looking for this?

She waved the key in her hand at Wuyin with a showy air.

Then he tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, quickly threw the key in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it, then licked his lips.

She stared intently at Wuyin, ready to savor the look of despair on her prey's face, only to find him standing there, seemingly with a smile on his face.

When Lady Antelope saw this, she felt as if the other party was humiliating her.

In an instant, its expression twisted, and it sprang forward, about to pounce and tear at Wuyin.

Wuyin stood still, unmoved, and simply spoke softly.

"Teacher... are you sure I'm the only one here?"

The rules only say you can't do anything that goes against the original plan in front of Peppa, but they don't say you can't do it in front of everyone.

So I stopped pretending to be silent.

Look closely, who else is around me?
