Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

"Actually, I just discovered something very unusual."

Wu Yin's expression turned serious upon hearing this, and he spoke faster.

"What is it? Tell me quickly."

Knowing that time was tight, Lucas also sped up his speech.

"The feeling I had when I treated the hospital director was completely different from the feeling I had when I treated you."

During the treatment at the hospital director's, I felt that he was forcibly absorbing my energy.

When I was healing you, I felt my energy working within your body.

However, this sensation is very subtle, since healing people requires energy.

I don't know if my feeling is correct or if I've misjudged the situation.

After he finished speaking, Wuyin fell silent.

Wuyin reached out and kept stroking his chin, a signature gesture he made when he was deep in thought.

Suddenly, he turned his head quickly and stared straight at Zhang Qianqian, who was standing to the side as a background figure.

Zhang Qianqian felt the sharp gaze and immediately turned around, her expression very natural, even somewhat worried as she looked at Wuyin.

"Have you thought of any clues? You must help us escape this orphanage. I miss my parents so much; I haven't seen them in so long."

The time was now 11:59.

Wu Yin saw Zhang Qianqian's reaction and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He snorted and muttered to himself.

"Oh, I see. You guys almost fooled me completely."

A confident smile appeared on his face as he slowly began to speak.

“Mr. Ye, you can come out now. I know all the secrets of the entire orphanage.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room tensed up.

A figure appeared in the room, along with a high-end, swivel chair.

The person sitting in the chair was Ye Sen.

In just a few minutes, he not only changed his clothes but also put on a pair of white gloves and was holding a glass of red wine.

He slowly swirled the red wine in his glass, then lifted the glass and took a sip.

A sinister red tinge appeared in his eyes, and he sneered as if watching a good show.

"Really?"

"Before you give me your answer, tell me how you want to die?"

Seeing Ye Sen's expression, Li Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He wanted to complain about the loading, but then he remembered what this madman had done before, so he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

When Lucas and Wuxin saw Ye Sen drinking red wine, their first thought was: This guy is such a show-off.

The two of them had a subconscious, inexplicable feeling that someone would say something like "loading cargo" in front of them.

But after waiting for a long time, Li Fan still didn't say those two words, and she felt a little itchy inside.

Wuyin chuckled softly as she looked at Yesen's confident smile.

"Heh, Mr. Ye, you're a bit too confident."

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to you proving me wrong~"

Hearing Wuyin's words, Yesen smiled and raised a hand, gently patting his cheek.

Chapter 256 The Mystery of the Orphanage

Wu Yin took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous, after all, the future of all mankind could be said to be in his hands.

Although he was 99% certain that the answer in his mind was true, if there was even the slightest deviation, all his efforts would be in vain.

After preparing herself mentally, Wuyin looked sharply at Yesen and slowly spoke.

"Judging from your appearance, you're probably not the mastermind behind the final idea, at most just a... useless failure!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened.

They had witnessed Ye Sen's power, but the eldest brother said he was just a "failure"!

Upon hearing these words, Ye Sen's mind went blank.

But he hid it well on the surface, and there was no emotional reaction on his face.

Wuyin saw that the hand that had been gently swirling the wine glass had stopped, and knew that she had not guessed wrong.

He gave a cold laugh and continued speaking.

"Not only that, you should be the most successful failure among all the failures, that is, the failure closest to me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen scoffed.

"You seem quite confident, but whether you're qualified or not hasn't been finalized yet."

Wuyin blinked, catching a clue from Yesen's words.

After a moment's thought, he continued.

"I won't waste any more words. The entire orphanage, or rather, the Blue Star where I used to live, is not a parallel world at all, but a secret base you used to cultivate experimental subjects!"

"The experiments began in the orphanage and ended in the orphanage. The orphanage holds your greatest secret: rules and the bizarre."

"If I'm not mistaken, I am the power of rules you have cultivated, while my sister Wuxin is the strange power you have cultivated."

It's probably because you guys are good at cultivating strange powers. The Coreless one must have been a perfect product cultivated early on.

Therefore, she will never die; she will accompany the power of the rules of each generation, experiencing the same things over and over again.

Her entire memory will be repeatedly shut down and restarted until a suitable subject for the power of rules appears.

After a pause, Wuyin's gaze towards Yesen softened somewhat.

“I know you won’t hurt Wuxin, because she is not only my sister, but also your former sister.”

After saying this, Ye Sen finally lost control of his expression, and his hand holding the wine glass trembled.

He had his head down, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Then, what about the dean and the others?"

Hearing this, Wuyin breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Yomori asked other questions, it proves that everything he said before was correct.

The director and Zhang Qianqian are the most difficult mysteries to solve in this orphanage, but Wuyin is also very confident.

He glanced at the deceased dean and Zhang Qianqian standing beside him, and chuckled softly.

"They are just fictional characters created in this orphanage, a shared illusion of all of us, because they don't actually exist!"

When Wuyin uttered those last words, the dean's corpse on the ground and Zhang Qianqian, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned to look at Wuyin.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the two of them gave Wuyin a relieved smile.

Their figures began to dissipate rapidly.

Zhang Qianqian looked at her hands, which were almost completely disappearing, with some curiosity. She finally realized that the parents she imagined in her mind didn't even have names or appearances.

By the way, who is she again?

……

In just a few seconds, the two disappeared completely from the room.

The air fell silent once more.

Ye Sen was deep in thought.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time before silence was broken.

"Since this orphanage is merely a breeding ground for cultivating the power of rules and the power of the bizarre, then everyone else is a tool for testing me, including you."

Once I've passed the test and am no longer of use, I'll die, right?

Ye Sen's thoughts were interrupted by the silent sound, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

He paused for a moment before finally looking at Wuyin with his eyes.

"Yes, you're absolutely right."

"Excuse me... I'd like to hear how you discovered that the dean and the other person were just hallucinating? Because at the time, this was the only answer I had and failed to find."

Wu Yin curled her lips into a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes as she looked at Ye Sen.

"Didn't you tell me this answer?"

Ye Sen sounded somewhat surprised.

When did I tell you that?

"You deliberately let us rescue the dean smoothly, and then killed the dean at the exact moment he uttered those four words, thus compressing the time into a tense situation."

I must say, you've got a good plan. You think I'll be misled by those four words the dean said, right?

Is this how you tested me? That's far too simplistic.

Wuyin's words carried a hint of smugness.

But the truth is that Lucas revealed a fatal flaw in the last few minutes: his experience treating him was different from that of the hospital director, which allowed him to connect all the clues again in such an urgent situation.

Of course, now is the time to show off, so he's absolutely not going to tell the truth.

A dark glint flashed in Ye Sen's eyes, but he did not respond.

Wuyin continued speaking.

"Moreover, I think the answer is already quite obvious."
