Rules Strange Talk: They Say I Have Multiple Personalities

"Woof woof woof!!"

Wang Wang retreated while following Bi Yi's steps, glaring fiercely at Zhuang Xueqing and barking incessantly.

Not only the contestants felt something was wrong, but even the audience felt it.

[I remembered something, I don't know if it's appropriate to say, but can Wang Wang ward off evil?]

[I also remember that big black dogs seem to be able to deter evil spirits, and Wang Wang's barking seems like a warning to Zhuang Xueqing to stay away from Bi Yi. It has never been like this before, right?]

[No, Wang Wang used to be very well-behaved. It would quietly watch without barking even when its own people approached Bi Yi, unless...]

At this time, the contestants' expressions didn't change, but their eyes did.

Everyone stopped, and Qiu Ye called out, "Xueqing."

Zhuang Xueqing didn't turn back, but froze in place.

Suddenly, Xia Xinmei raised her hand and chopped at the back of her neck, but she dodged it.

"Sister Xia! Run, that's a fake, I'm here!"

Zhuang Xueqing's voice sounded behind Xia Xinmei. Xia Xinmei didn't turn back, but took out her spatula and attacked the Zhuang Xueqing in front again, but she missed again.

Zhuang Xueqing's figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared a hundred meters away.

She stood in the dark alley, but didn't blend into the darkness. Everyone could clearly see her figure, but they couldn't see her feet.

A look of horror suddenly appeared on her face, and she raised her arms to reach out to them. Her body was moving backward constantly, as if floating, "Save me!"

"Save me!"

The voice was very soft, as if it wasn't coming from her throat, making those who heard it feel like they were drowning and having difficulty breathing, or like they were in a well, surrounded by echoes.

Qiu Ye quietly released her props. Transparent cubic blocks surrounded Zhuang Xueqing from all directions. Just as the blocks were about to form a cage, Zhuang Xueqing's figure disappeared again.

"Qiu Ye!" An urgent voice sounded from behind. Qiu Ye subconsciously wanted to turn back, but her head was held by a pair of hands.

Jiang Qin held her head and pushed her forward, "Don't look back, keep walking."

Qiu Ye asked worriedly, "What about Zhuang Xueqing? Is that really her?"

Jiang Qin whispered back, "It is, but not entirely. Let's go back to the courtyard first, don't look back on the way."

At this time, Xia Xinmei had already quickened her pace.

The others quickly followed.

Suddenly!

A small cluster of fire appeared at the intersection ahead. A gust of wind blew, and the fire flickered. Several half-burned yellow papers were blown onto the road, rising and falling, as if children were playing and jumping.

And on the wall at the intersection with the fire, there was also a silhouette holding three incense sticks.

The uncle's voice echoed in the contestants' minds, "Six: People in the village often burn incense at the intersections. If you see a fire, hurry up and take a detour, take a long way back."

Another detour! How far is far enough?

Bi Yi retreated while facing forward, reminding, "I noticed there are water stains where Zhuang Xueqing was standing just now. Could she be the one who drowned in the pond?"

Xia Xinmei looked at the stone road ahead. In the darkness, the already damp stone slabs made these water stains not obvious unless you were specifically observing or were particularly sensitive to the environment.

Xia Xinmei specifically observed and noticed a pair of footprints on the stone slab, very small, pointed like a triangle, so small that they didn't look like a pair of feet, only about three inches.

Then she suddenly remembered something.

"If she's the one who drowned in the pond, then the one in the bridal sedan..."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat!

If that was the drowned bride, then the one in the bridal sedan would be... Zhuang Xueqing!

The contestants and audience all showed anxious expressions.

That uncle said that they can't leave the village, or they won't be able to return!

But now no one can turn back, they must first return to that courtyard.

But at this moment, they heard a loud shout from the entrance of the village.

"Lift the sedan!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Brady and his team received the same rules as the Huaxia team.

And the situation on his side was even more serious than the Huaxia team's.

Everything was fine during the feast, but after the feast was over and they were about to leave, contestant Jamie suddenly asked, "Do you think the bride really committed suicide?"

"……"

Everyone turned to look at Jamie.

At this time, someone was shouting that the bride couldn't sink to the bottom of the pond.

Brady saw the bad signs from the villagers' expressions, "Let's retreat first!"

He led the contestants to avoid the main road and detour back.

As they were walking, he suddenly heard contestant Clarissa calling him, "Brady, look at what's wrong with Jamie!"

"……"

Brady paused, and then remembered rule five.

"Don't turn back no matter who calls you on the way home."

Brady didn't react, and reminded the people behind him, "Keep walking, don't turn back."

As he continued to walk forward, he keenly felt that the footsteps of several people were not quite right.

It was like the sound of water in shoes.

Suddenly!

Several people behind him gasped, obviously something had happened.

Brady used the map to investigate, there were no extra people, there were only a few of them on this road, until a head rolled in front of him.

"……"

Someone whispered in discussion.

"What's wrong with Pullman? How did his head fall off?"

"I saw his expression, it seemed like someone said something to him, he turned his head, and his head fell off!"

Not only the contestants at the scene were dumbfounded, but even the audience in the third-person perspective was dumbfounded.

[What's the situation? Why is someone dying at the beginning of this round?]

[How did this head fall off? Why would a head fall off? Does it mean that as long as you turn your head when someone calls you, your head will fall off? But some people's heads didn't fall off, is this rule effective or not?]

[I just came back from the Huaxia side, some of their contestants have also been tricked. Their explanation is that you definitely can't turn back when you hear someone call your name. Those who turned back are no longer them!]

[What does it mean they are no longer them? We are still seeing their perspective, they are not dead yet.]

[That's also on the road to death. You can open the Huaxia side's live stream and watch it together. They have explanations over there. I see their audience saying this is called Eastern horror.]

At this time, the audience from other countries quickly reminded the contestants to remember the rules, and not to turn back no matter who they heard calling them on the way back.

But it was too late.

People have conditioned reflexes, especially when someone familiar calls them, the body will respond faster than the brain.

Unless you are a calm and not enthusiastic person, and you are not familiar or close to this person, you will think before responding.

……

At this time, Brady spoke.

"You guys keep walking, walk ahead."

He stood in place and let the people behind him walk forward.

The contestants walked around him and continued forward.

Brady carefully observed everyone's feet.

He found that Clarissa's feet were looming in the darkness, sometimes they were combat boots, and sometimes it seemed like she had no feet.

No! It's not that she has no feet, it's that her feet are too small!

The places she walked past left shallow watermarks, a pointed triangle, not even the size of a palm.
