Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

As soon as he opened the door, a pungent smell of rot hit him in the face.

Bai Lian instinctively held his breath and frowned slightly.

This smell was even worse than that of dead mice left to decay for a long time!

Was there a corpse in this house?

The room was plunged into complete darkness, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Bai Lian stepped in, reached out, and found the light switch.

The light flickered on, revealing the scene before him.

A large red window with curtains immediately caught his eye, stained with black spots, likely from water.

In the center stood a bed, next to it a luxurious nightstand, and along the wall were cabinets with exquisite carvings. One of the cabinet doors was slightly ajar.

The floor was clean, clearly well-maintained.

The only oddity was the foul smell that occasionally wafted into his nostrils.

How could such a smell exist in this room?

Bai Lian glanced curiously at the photograph hanging above the headboard of the bed.

It was a family photo featuring a man and a woman, both with Western features.

The man had chestnut hair and light stubble, emphasizing his maturity, while the woman had golden wavy hair and striking blue eyes that seemed particularly expressive.

The photo was ordinary—they were embracing, with gentle smiles on their faces.

But for some reason, as Bai Lian looked at the photo, he felt as though the woman was staring directly at him.

Was it just his imagination?

After a long moment of observation, he decided to continue his investigation and approached the nightstand.

On it lay a quiet envelope, as if waiting for someone to open it.

Bai Lian picked up the envelope and pulled out the letter inside.

“She came, she entered my body.”

Hmm?

A lightning bolt of realization struck!

Looking at the slightly crooked letters on the paper, Bai Lian made a strange expression.

【Wow, is this definitely plot-related?】

【Isn’t this just some couple’s private diary?】

【Is that the point? The point is the streamer forgot to close the door when he entered!】

【Rule Five: Do not enter the master or mistress’s room on the same day. If you do, remember to close and lock the door. The streamer broke this rule.】

【Is something strange going to pop out of nowhere and kill the streamer now?】

【I don’t know, let’s see.】

Some viewers, upon seeing the letter’s contents, instantly put on a knowing expression in front of their screens.

Others pointed out that Bai Lian had violated the fifth rule.

Meanwhile, Bai Lian continued reading the letter with interest.

“No... don’t, she’s going to drain me!”

Ahem...

Evidence collected.

As expected, foreign monks always pray better—such things are recorded in text.

“Where am I even?”

“No, let me go!”

“Bela, are you trapped with her too?”

“How long has it been? Bela and I have been losing consciousness for longer and longer.”

“I can’t let her take me, I can’t...”

The letter ended abruptly, with no further important information recorded.

Nevertheless, Bai Lian was almost certain who had written this letter.

The master of the estate.

And Bela in the letter—his wife.

These were the two people in the photograph.

For some reason, they had been drained by some creature and locked away somewhere.

Bai Lian, resting his right hand on his left, leaned his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

If the master and mistress were locked away, who would pay the salary after seven days?

A clone or a puppet?

To achieve a high rating, this issue needed to be resolved first.

Though Bai Lian wasn’t striving for perfection, he certainly wasn’t planning to settle for the lowest rating.

Would he really spend seven days doing nothing and end up with the worst rating?

That would be a complete waste of his Lawless Criminal ability!

Bai Lian placed the letter back into the envelope.

Then he opened the nightstand to check for hidden clues.

But alas, it was empty.

As he closed the nightstand, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.

“Don’t you know you need permission to enter someone else’s room?”

Winnie’s voice was cold.

【She’s here, she’s here, she’s here with murderous intent!】

【Streamer, you forgot to close the door!】

【Hey, you up there, are you doubting our White God? He’s the one who can ignore the rules! Not closing the door is normal for him!】

Bai Lian’s stream room had already gained quite a bit of popularity.

At least among new streamers, his viewer count was far ahead.

And with popularity came new viewers.

They didn’t fully understand Bai Lian’s actions and couldn’t help but leave puzzled comments.

【Who is this streamer? Why are there so many people in his room?】

【I stumbled in and started watching from the beginning of the dungeon, but didn’t he just ignore the rules because of some item? Can someone really always ignore the rules? Where does he get so many items?】 Ŗ𝙖ℕ𝖔𝖇È𝘴

【Hehe, you clearly don’t get it, do you? White God can’t be judged by logic. Just treat him as a cheater, and that’s it.】

When Winnie arrived, Bai Lian didn’t seem surprised.

With a calm expression, he turned and looked at Winnie, who appeared slightly irritated: “Of course, I’m actually very polite.”

Winnie coldly glanced at him: “Is this what you call politeness?”

Bai Lian nodded: “Yes, but not too much.”

【Oh my god, he’s so polite, but not too much!】

【Hahahaha, even Sister Winnie is speechless.】

【I don’t usually laugh, but I can’t help it, hahaha!】

【If we’re talking, it’s all thanks to you, White God—you even silenced the anomaly!】

【Hey, hey, hey, I came to learn techniques, streamer, don’t make me laugh!】

Bai Lian’s unexpected twist left the chat in stitches.

Winnie was left in the dark.

Bai Lian ignored her and opened the nearby cabinet.

It was empty.

It seemed there were no more clues in this room.

Closing the cabinet, he turned back to Winnie and asked: “Where’s your room?”

Winnie’s face returned to its calm state as she looked at him: “Why do you ask?”

“I’m feeling a bit tired and want to find a place to nap,” Bai Lian said, stretching.

So you want to sleep in my room?

Who’s the weird one here, you or me?

Winnie didn’t want to talk to him anymore and turned to leave.

At the same time, she was deeply puzzled.

Why hadn’t Bai Lian broken the rules yet?

The first time, maybe he had protective items.

But what about now?

Was this also some kind of item?

Or could this guy really ignore the rules?

Thinking this, Winnie stopped.

She turned around and came back.

Bai Lian looked at her in surprise.

“I want to ask you a question. If you answer correctly, I might cooperate with you,” Winnie said.

“Will this cooperation involve your room becoming mine?” Bai Lian asked.

Winnie looked at him in surprise. Is that the main point?

Isn’t the main point that I, an anomaly, am willing to cooperate with you?

“Answer my question first,” she said, trying to calm her emotions.

Bai Lian spread his hands: “Alright, ask away.”

“By the way, how big is your bed?”

Winnie was about to speak when she heard Bai Lian’s words and blurted out: “Two meters...”

And just like that, he had trapped her.
