Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"puff……"

Lucas uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of warm, bright red blood.

He struggled to lift his eyelids and stared at the pool of blood he had just spurted from his mouth on the ground.

In an instant, the entire ground and walls seemed to be twisting and shaking.

The pool of blood, like cells, split into many puddles, and then all of these puddles of blood became the ceiling, before merging into the darkness.

He heard many people calling his name from a faraway place.

But he was so sleepy that he didn't have the energy to respond.

He wanted to sleep.

……

"Lucas, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

"Uncle Lucas, you can't sleep now!"

Wu Xin and Li Fan rushed forward the moment Lucas collapsed and steadied him.

But he seemed to have fallen into a deep coma, and he remained unresponsive no matter how much the two shouted at him.

They had no choice but to gently place Lucas on the small bed in the room, and then looked worriedly towards Wuyin.

Without Lucas's healing power, the dean's face quickly turned bluish-purple again, and he began coughing incessantly once more.

His body would tremble uncontrollably whenever he coughed, making it impossible for Wuyin to perform surgery. She could only watch helplessly as the dean's life hung in the balance.

The Ghost Stories Command Center.

The Red Dragon Commander stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the live broadcast screen, his face grim.

He was extremely anxious and kept praying silently in his heart.

Lucas, you absolutely must wake up. Don't let us down at this crucial moment.

I know you've tried your best. When you come back, I'll give you another black card that's exactly the same as Wuyin's.

You absolutely must come back safely and with Wuyin!

Just then, Red Dragon's assistant came running over, panting.

He spoke to the red dragon, panting heavily.

"Commander Red... there are so many people outside clamoring to come in, most of them are white."

Red Dragon's expression was sharp. After a moment of contemplation, he strode out of the command center with a swift, brisk pace.

A large crowd stood outside the command center, the vast majority of whom were former residents of the United States.

A pregnant Caucasian woman standing at the front was peering inside when she saw a middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty or fifty years old, come out. She could no longer contain herself and burst into tears, kneeling down on the ground.

Honglong was terrified when he saw the pregnant woman with such a big belly kneel down before him so easily. His face turned pale and then red.

"What...what are you doing? Just say what's wrong. What if you suddenly kneel down and hurt the baby in your belly?"

The pregnant woman's face was already streaked with tears as she sobbed, speaking in broken Mandarin.

"Commander Red Dragon, I am an ordinary pregnant woman who was rescued from the hospital by Lucas and Mr. Silent."

During my stay in the Dragon Kingdom, while watching the live stream, I discovered that Mr. Lucas was seriously injured during a ghost adventure and was near death.

He's our benefactor!

Please, let us in. We want to try and encourage Mr. Lucas together, and see if a miracle happens.

Upon hearing this, Honglong's expression clearly became serious.

They wanted to use the prompting opportunity just to encourage Lucas?

However, there really is no other way now, and this ghost story is almost over, yet the hint opportunity has not been used...

"The situation within the Ghost Story is critical; every second is more precious than gold, Commander Red Dragon!"

Seeing the man's hesitant expression, she finished speaking through tears and knelt down again with a thud.

The large group of people behind her also knelt down.

"Commander Red Dragon, I beg you, please let us try. There's no other way, we can only try anything as a last resort."

The red dragon looked at the group of people before him, whose faces were filled with sincerity and pleading.

The youngest was even just a teenager.

"Then hurry up and come in, time waits for no one."

Red Dragon sighed softly.

He wasn't a rigid person. Although he knew that the opportunity to offer a hint was extremely valuable, since the experts couldn't think of any useful methods, he could only let them give it a try.

With tears in her eyes, the pregnant woman kept thanking Honglong after hearing his words.

She ran at a brisk pace, but perhaps because the baby in her belly was too far along, she couldn't reach the speed she wanted no matter how hard she tried.

A burly man behind her quickly helped the pregnant woman up and spoke in a panic.

"Oh my goodness! Your belly is so big, you shouldn't run so fast. If you hurt the baby in your belly, you'll have nowhere to cry."

"It's alright, don't rush. I'll go first. Mr. Lucas will be fine."

After the big man finished speaking, he ran towards the Strange Tales Command Center at the fastest speed he had ever been.

Honglong felt a strong gust of wind whistle past his ear. Seeing this, he immediately put all his strength into chasing after the big man in front of him.

The big man quickly ran into the command center for the strange tales. He was panting heavily when he spoke to the group of experts.

"Quick! Use the prompt opportunity!"

The group of experts looked at each other, none of them recognizing the stranger who had suddenly barged in, so no one took any action.

The burly man was already sweating profusely with anxiety, while the group of experts just stared at him blankly.

In this tense moment, the red dragon finally caught up.

He was panting heavily, his face flushed, and immediately shouted at the group of experts.

"Listen to him and take advantage of the prompts."

Upon hearing this, a young expert reacted quickly and stepped forward to the prompt button, explaining rapidly.

"You only have 30 seconds to get the hint, so please gather your thoughts now. I will press the hint button after 3 seconds."

"Three, two, one."

"Bang."

After the expert finished the countdown, he decisively pressed the prompt button.

The moment the prompt button was pressed, the previously boisterous man became serious and spoke at a faster pace.

“I would trade all the luck I have in this life for God’s blessing on you, Mr. Lucas.”

You are a hero who saved the people from suffering; we cannot live without you, and little Pali especially cannot live without you!

Just then, the entire large group of people behind them surged in.

But no one was crowding or making noise; everyone consciously formed a long queue.

The conference room was even quieter than usual, with only the loud, powerful voice of the burly man remaining.

Chapter 248 Upgrade! Super S-Rank Talent!

Some of them were from the lowest rungs of society in the Ugly Kingdom. They worked hard all their lives, but the invasion of the strange tales led to the starvation of their relatives and the breakdown of their families.

The higher-ups completely ignored their pleas for help, and at the worst times, they even exchanged babies to fill their stomachs.

It was Mr. Lucas who, after witnessing their suffering, donated a million dollars in this turbulent time to buy them food so that they wouldn't resort to cannibalism.

They will never forget those dark days, which is why they cherish the hard-won peace they enjoy today even more.

And afterwards, Mr. Lucas led them to seek refuge in the Dragon Kingdom, and their lives not only returned to normal, but even began to slowly improve.

It can be said that Mr. Lucas was their benefactor who gave them two lives.

Others were ordinary people trapped in that bizarre hospital, or their parents, siblings, and friends.

Each of them came carrying their own hopes.

The crowds were huge, but the place was not chaotic.

After each person finished speaking, they quickly left, allowing the next person to speak.

“Mr. Lucas, you are our hero, you must hold on! We can’t live without you.”

“Mr. Lucas, I know you have done your best, and I so hope that God will protect you from any further harm.”

“Mr. Lucas, no matter the outcome, you will always be a hero in everyone’s hearts.”

20 seconds have passed, and there are only 10 seconds left before the prompt ends.

The country's warning voice kept ringing in Lucas's ears.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, but he did not wake up.

At that moment, a girl with golden twin tails, wearing a white dress and carrying a teddy bear, ran into the ghost story command center.

Everyone recognized the little girl; she was Mr. Lucas's adopted daughter, Pallet.

Everyone very consciously made way for her, and Pali didn't stand on ceremony, quickly rushing forward and speaking into the microphone.

"Uncle Lucas, I know you've worked so hard, but no matter what, Little Pear will always love you."

I would ask God to take back my life so that you could stand up again!

As soon as the words were spoken, the 30-second warning time was up.

Her voice was soft, yet very firm.

Everyone looked at the girl's petite figure, and a strange power spread through their hearts.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a white light shone from above everyone's head, shooting straight into the sky.
