Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"But once we get the IV set from the first floor and go back to the 18th floor, that little girl will most likely try to kill us, right?"

"Ah."

Wuyin responded with a sound.

This sound made the hearts of the three people sink to the bottom, and a chill enveloped their entire bodies.

But even if they knew the little girl would kill them when they returned, what could they do?

They had no choice; they needed the tool themselves.

If you don't get the item, you'll definitely die; if you do get the item, there's a chance you can fight to the death. You have no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

The staircase wasn't long; in just a minute, the three of them had reached the top.

An elevator door stands at the top of the stairs, with two buttons for opening and closing the door next to it.

Silently, he raised his hand and pressed the elevator switch, and the metal doors slowly opened to both sides.

The elevator looked no different from the elevators they had ridden before, but when the three of them went inside, they discovered a row of 10-digit buttons below the display screen, which were used to select floors.

Silent fingers pressed the number one and then clicked the confirmation button.

On the large screen next to the elevator, the display slowly showed the blood-red number one, and then the elevator doors closed and the elevator slowly started moving.

Wuyin turned around, looked at Lucas and Li Fan behind her, and spoke.

"We can't come here for nothing. We can't just take one IV set. We need more ourselves, so we need to take more."

Li Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You mean we should steal a few from the other wards?"

Lucas retorted.

"Don't use such harsh language. How can this be called stealing? We're just borrowing."

Li Fan: "The kind that borrows money and doesn't pay it back."

Wuyin smiled and looked at Lucas.

"It seems Brother Lu is already quite proficient. Then the main force will be handed over to you."

Lucas touched the tip of his nose and gave an awkward smile.

He did steal... no, he borrowed several IV sets from unconscious patients when he was on the first floor. Those patients were unresponsive and posed no danger. The only thing to watch out for was the doctors and nurses patrolling nearby.

Thinking of this, he nodded solemnly.

"No problem, I have experience, I guarantee I'll get more."

Not long after, the elevator came to a smooth stop, and we arrived at the first floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and the scene before them stunned all three of them.

The elevator did not stop at the original location of the one-time elevator, but instead landed directly in the ward where they were born when they first entered the hospital.

Li Fan said it half-jokingly.

"After going through so much, I'm back here again."

It really does evoke a sense of familiar warmth.

Wuyin spoke.

"Let's hurry up and finish this quickly."

"Lucas and Li Fan, you two are responsible for collecting the IV sets from the other wards that don't seem dangerous. I'll go get the slip of paper and exchange it with the nurse for what the little girl needs."

The two responded in unison.

The three did not linger in the ward; they left directly and went their separate ways.

Wuyin randomly chose a doctor's office and walked over.

The corridor remained as quiet as when we first arrived, without a sound.

Soon, they arrived at the doctor's office at the corner of the corridor.

Wuyin knocked on the door and went straight in.

Inside sat a doctor and a nurse. When Wuyin saw the doctor's appearance, she couldn't help but think to herself, "What do you mean?"

"What a small world!"

Because that doctor was the same doctor who was stopped by the skinning demon when he was initially being chased.

The doctor had been staring intently at Wuyin ever since Wuyin opened the door, his brows furrowed as if he were recalling something.

Wuyin ignored the doctor's gaze and handed the note to the nurse in the office.

After glancing at the note, the nurse showed a hint of surprise on her strangely shaped face.

Without saying much, she quickly found an IV set and an IV bottle in a box at the back of the office and handed them to Wuyin.

Wuyin took the things from the nurse's hand and turned to leave, her movements swift and efficient.

But just as he reached the door, he heard a low, husky voice say something from inside the office.

"That patient... seems to have unpaid bills."

Wuyin's face was somewhat cold, but his steps did not falter at all.

He closed the office door behind him and quickly left.

On the way to the ward, I ran into Li Fan, who was holding two IV sets in his hand.

He spoke urgently, but very softly.

"Quick! Go and tell Lucas to come back to the 18th floor with us immediately. It's no longer safe here. We're being watched."

Although Li Fan didn't fully understand what Wu Yin meant, he could tell that his older brother's tone was very urgent.

The situation seemed extremely urgent. He nodded slightly and, without saying a word, floated towards the depths of the corridor on the other side.

Wu Yin watched Li Fan's departing figure, but his heart pounded for a long time. He turned around and sat on the hospital bed, hoping that the two of them could get there sooner.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside, heading straight for the ward.

Wuyin's face lit up with joy, and she prepared to open the door to welcome the two.

But as soon as he stood up, the smile on his face froze instantly.

That footstep sound is wrong.

Judging from his tone just now, Li Fan and Lucas must have run over, but the footsteps outside were only somewhat urgent, not to the point of running.

The owner of the footsteps at this moment might be... that doctor.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he instantly stood up and then lay down under the bed, a scalpel materializing in his hand, which he gripped tightly, even slowing his breathing.

He wasn't afraid of any of the doctors or nurses on that floor, but he was afraid of them because they were the most numerous and very united.

Chapter 190 Hard-earned Money

outside the hallway.

“I’m absolutely sure I’m not mistaken, he’s the patient who owed money before.”

Moreover, there was another patient in his ward who also hadn't paid their bills.

If the person at the top knew that we didn't charge for the surgery...

The doctor paused, not continuing, but quickened his pace.

In just a few dozen seconds, he was already standing outside the silent ward.

His expression changed instantly when he looked into the ward through the small window on the door.

The ward was empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

"Strange, could a person just disappear on their own?"

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he pushed the door open and entered.

There was indeed no one in this ward.

The doctor's gaze swept across the entire ward, finally settling on the only place where someone could hide: under the bed.

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, his expression became serious, but he walked very lightly, as if afraid of startling a frightened rabbit.

He bent down slightly, then suddenly peered under the bed.

In an instant, a hand suddenly reached out from behind his neck and tightly covered his mouth, preventing him from calling for help.

Just as the doctor was about to struggle, a sharp pain shot through his lower back and abdomen, like being bitten by a small insect. The next second, all his strength was drained, and he went limp.

Wuyin took two steps back, panting heavily as she stared at the doctor who was lying on the ground.

While hiding under the bed, he suddenly remembered that in this instance, when dealing with doctors and nurses, he could only use the special tools available within the instance.

Using one's own scalpel would be against the rules.

He only had an IV set in his hand, which he had just taken from the doctor's office.

So he decisively crawled out from under the bed, hid behind the door, and waited for his chance to strike.

Sure enough... even ignoring the rules, the special items in the dungeon are indeed much more useful than the scalpel in your hand.

He looked coldly at the unconscious doctor on the ground.

From the moment the other person entered the room, he noticed that the doctor was also holding an IV drip set.

He vaguely remembered that Lucas had been pricked by this thing before, but was not seriously injured. This tool was only effective against strange doctors and nurses.

But why would this doctor bring items that are dangerous to himself when he comes to the ward?

Does he not know what the IV set will do for him?

No...this is definitely wrong.

Wu Yin lowered his head in thought, recalling the somber words he heard behind him as he left the office.

"That patient was in arrears."
