Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Li Fan gave a soft "hmm," unsure of his own feelings, only feeling as if a piece of his heart was missing.

A mechanical voice soon rang in everyone's ears:

[Congratulations to Wuyin, the Chosen One of the Dragon Kingdom, for successfully clearing and completing the Ghost Village Tales dungeon. The Ghost Village Tales dungeon will soon disappear.]

Due to the unique nature of this instance, it is temporarily impossible to teleport everyone back to the starting point of the mystery. Please arrange your own return journey.

[Rewards are being processed...]

The Red Dragon Commander, who was lying unconscious on the ground, was awakened by the sound. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling as if his whole body was about to fall apart.

The head, in particular, was in excruciating pain.

A flood of memories rushed into his mind, and he recalled everything from the past to the present. He thought of his wife, who had been forgotten for more than a decade, and a complex feeling welled up in his heart.

Just as I was about to get up, I noticed something fall off me.

He turned his head to look and saw that it was a peace charm.

He gripped the amulet tightly, looked around, but didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Wu Xin noticed that Commander Honglong had woken up, so she quickly ran to his side and gently helped him up.

The red dragon opened its mouth and asked about the coreless one.

Have you seen Juan'er?

Ever since he remembered Da Niu Niang's real name, he never called her Da Niu Niang again, because she was himself first and foremost, and only then was she Da Niu Niang.

Wu Xin frowned slightly, hesitant, unsure how to begin.

Just as she was about to muster the courage to tell the truth, Wuyin walked up to her and put her hand on her shoulder.

Wu Xin turned her head to look at her brother, and Wu Yin looked into the eyes of the red dragon and spoke.

"Aunt Juan is just a soul, trapped in this village for some reason."

Now that her soul has been freed, she will naturally be reincarnated.

Li Fan also came over and, upon hearing Wu Yin calmly and confidently tell a lie, couldn't help but admire her.

He almost believed it if he hadn't seen what happened with his own eyes.

Honglong simply nodded slightly, gripped the amulet in his hand, and asked no further questions.

Wuyin knew that Honglong had the right to know the truth, but he also wanted Honglong to forgive his lie.

He didn't want to see Honglong repeat the mistakes of Da Niu Niang, and he didn't want Honglong to spend the rest of his life in dampness.

The fact that Honglong didn't ask any further questions shows that he didn't want to doubt the truthfulness of Wuyin's words, since this should be a relatively good ending.

……

Just then, a short-haired woman suddenly walked over from a distance.

She was tall and slender, wearing a tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt and trousers that revealed the firm muscles on her arms. She looked at the crowd with some wariness and spoke in broken Chinese.

"I know you, Wuyin."

Hello, I am Martha, the chosen one of the Bear Kingdom.

In the ghost stories, all languages ​​are translated into languages ​​that others can understand. However, the ghost stories have now been cleared out, and the place has become an ordinary abandoned village, where barrier-free communication is no longer possible.

Fortunately, the Bear Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom were on good terms. Martha secretly rejoiced that she had learned some Chinese before, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do at this moment.

She was a first-time participant in the Ghost Stories event, so she had watched Dragon Kingdom's live stream beforehand and knew this man who had saved the entire Dragon Kingdom like a savior.

But she still dared not let her guard down.

There are only two reasons why she was able to survive this ghost story.

First, they are intelligent and strong, but they will always remain vigilant.

Second, she is a woman.

For some reason, everyone in this village maintained a certain friendliness towards women, including the mushrooms.

When Martha came to explore the pond in the ghost story, the mushrooms just stared at her without attacking.

That's why she was able to live to the end relatively easily.

Wuyin simply nodded slightly to her in a friendly manner.

At this moment, Martha spoke in broken Chinese, interspersed with a few words of Xiong Guo language, babbling incoherently.

The group was completely confused, but fortunately, Commander Red Dragon was fluent in eight languages ​​and immediately understood what Martha meant. He then turned to explain to everyone.

“Martha said that the system said there was no way to teleport back and she could only return on her own, so she wanted to ask the Dragon Kingdom for help. As long as she is taken to a place with transportation, she can take a taxi back by herself.”

After explaining to everyone, Commander Red Dragon spoke to Martha in standard Xiong Kingdom language.

"Hello, I am the commander of the Dragon Kingdom."

Don't worry, I won't stand idly by in this kind of thing. After all, when ghost stories come, all of us humans should unite.

I will put you on the plane back to Bear Country, please don't worry.

Li Fan couldn't help but marvel when he heard Honglong speaking fluent Xiong Kingdom language and communicating with Masha.

Is this the difference between people?

Upon hearing this, Martha immediately thanked everyone profusely.

Honglong exchanged a few polite words, and Wuyin spoke up to him from the side.

"When you came here, your assistant brought you here. The live stream team definitely knows where this place is, so we just need to wait for the Chinese helicopter to arrive."

However, I have another question. All the surviving Chosen Ones should be in this village, because there is only one such village, and not every country has one.

But we've only seen Martha so far. Could there be other Chosen Ones in the room that we haven't found?

And...isn't this a two-player dungeon? I haven't heard Martha's teammate mention it before.

Wu Xin nodded and said.

"It just so happens that our country's helicopters haven't arrived yet, so we have time to search for them."

As for that woman's teammate, we can just ask her directly; she won't lie. After all, anyone who watched the live stream should know the truth.

Commander Red Dragon translated these words to Masha, who agreed and spoke to Commander Red Dragon in the language of the Bear Kingdom.

"Although I know this is absurd, I want you to believe me because I haven't seen my teammate yet, perhaps because he had already failed before I saw him."

However, I can now help you search and see if there are any remaining surviving Chosen Ones.

Red Dragon translated Masha's language for everyone, and while Masha was speaking, Wuyin kept staring into her eyes, watching the look in her eyes as she spoke.

Chapter 123 Martha's Plot

But it's unclear whether Martha noticed Wuyin was looking at her and deliberately avoided eye contact, or if she was simply too dense to notice Wuyin's gaze.

Her gaze remained fixed on the red dragon's face as she spoke, never looking anywhere else.

Red Dragon translated these words to everyone.

After listening, they all nodded without saying much, and then began to prepare to search the village for any remaining Chosen Ones.

At this moment, Martha suddenly made a suggestion.

"Let's search together first, I'm afraid we might encounter some danger."

Furthermore, if there were any remaining Chosen Ones, they should have emerged. Since no Chosen Ones have emerged, it's likely that there aren't any Chosen Ones left in this village.

We'll look for it if we can, but I estimate there's a high probability we won't find it.

Because of the red dragon's presence, the group found it relatively easy to communicate with Martha and agreed with her idea.

A glint of light flashed in Wuyin's eyes, as if she were thinking about something.

Their first decision was to search the two spawn points of this two-player instance.

After all, this is considered a safe zone by everyone, and they will probably spend most of their time here.

When everyone reached the first spawn point, Red Dragon was about to open the door and go in to search, but Wuyin stopped him and turned to Martha with a slight smile.

"This instance has a natural advantage for women. The two women in this team are my sister and you."

But my sister is timid and useless, so I'd like to ask you to scout ahead for us first. Is that alright?

When Wuxin heard this, she really wanted to complain, but she didn't refute her brother's words. She just cursed silently in her heart.

"You're useless, your whole family is useless, ptooey! No, you're the most useless one."

After Honglong translated Wuyin's words to Masha, Masha's expression didn't change. She simply smiled and nodded, replying in Xiongguo language.

"no problem."

Then she walked ahead of the crowd, stretched out her hands, pushed open the door, and swaggered into the first spawn point.

After observing that there was nothing strange inside the room, Wuyin became the second person to enter.

Everyone looked at each other, then went inside to check the room and found that there was no one else there.

During the search, Wuyin took advantage of Masha's inattention and quietly walked to Wuxin's side, but then immediately went to search elsewhere.

After searching unsuccessfully, the group prepared to head to their second spawn point.

Upon reaching the second spawn point, Martha suddenly lowered her hand before pushing open the door, turned back to Wuyin with a guilty expression, and said...

"Actually, I can tell you don't quite trust me, but what I'm saying is the truth."

Whether I lied or not, you can find out by asking anyone who watched the live stream.

My Bear Kingdom has always maintained a friendly attitude towards the Dragon Kingdom, and I hope your Dragon Kingdom will do the same, so that we can go further together.

Upon hearing this, the Red Dragon Commander immediately felt somewhat guilty towards Martha. Upon reflection, he realized that Martha had been quite sincere from the very beginning.

Moreover, the Bear Kingdom has indeed always maintained a friendly attitude towards the Dragon Kingdom, and so he said immediately.

"I'll open the door for you this time."

Wuyin blocked the way for the red dragon.

"No need, I was overthinking it."

Then he turned to look at Martha, who had a somewhat aggrieved expression, and said with a slight smile.
