Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead
Chapter 143: Healing Town (20)

Tsou Wei remained silent, only a few red blood vessels appeared in her eyes as she stared blankly at Bai Liang.

Seeing her in such a state, Bai Liang suddenly smiled. “What? Are you about to tell me you don’t want money? Don’t joke, Doctor Tsou Wei, we both know who you are.”

“Could you please listen to me fully?” Tsou Wei began to speak timidly.

Bai Liang shook his head. “My time is very precious.”

He said this seriously: although Director Gu was under the surveillance of the security company, who could guarantee he had no other means of escape?

After collecting the organs, Bai Liang planned to seek out Director Gu. Every minute counted now, otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted the task of resolving the VIP ward patients' issues to the deputy director.

Listening to Tsou Wei's nonsensical words for more than a minute would have been his limit.

“Mr. Bai!” Tsou Wei suddenly approached Bai Liang.

From a distance, Fang Zhiyi noticed the situation, realized something was amiss, frowned, slowed her pace, and quickly drew closer.

“What?” Bai Liang’s face remained calm, as if nothing could alter his emotional state; even as tears welled in Tsou Wei’s eyes, he remained unfazed.

Tsou Wei raised her hand; on her wrist was a delicate wristwatch. “From this moment on, our relationship will no longer be one of employment!”

She made a sudden turn, and Bai Liang’s eyes changed for the first time. He looked at Tsou Wei with a gaze full of hatred, an astonished expression on his face.

“Are riches truly that important? You’ve become so poor that only money remains; you can't even show the slightest bit of respect. Bai Liang, you’re simply a soulless bastard!”

Tsou Wei’s voice echoed through the corridor; she was slightly hysterical, her emotions teetering on the brink of collapse.

.【Brothers, why do I feel like her words hold some truth?】

.【Honestly, Bai Shen, it seems he's becoming more and more ruthless. The most human he ever seemed was when he was with Mo Lu.】

.【Looking at Doctor Tsou Wei, perhaps there's really a hidden agenda here? Was Director Gu forced into this?】

.【Ugh, the bitch is already crying, Bai Shen, don't be so cruel, why are you still so cold?】

.【Guys above, stop joking, alright? This is a Strange World; the more ruthless you become, the greater your chances of survival. How can you talk about feelings here? Sounds like you've never died before.】

......

Tsou Wei was, in the end, a good doctor. After a few deep breaths, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed before Bai Liang. “Excuse me, Mr. Bai, I overreacted a little.”

“However, I still hope you’ll stop investigating Director Gu; he’s a good man.”

“I can confirm that as well.” Fang Zhiyi, who had approached suddenly, spoke up, and Bai Liang looked at her.

She crossed her arms over her chest and said seriously, “Sir, do you remember what I told you?”

“Of course, you said Director Gu usually has many patients who come to him for treatment; he’s highly respected in the city.” Bai Liang nodded.

Fang Zhiyi continued, “Even when I was little, I went to him for treatment. In my memory, he was a very benevolent doctor.”

“How is that related to me?”

Tsou Wei and Fang Zhiyi were both stunned.

Bai Liang, expressionless and with a cold gaze, looked at them and said, “You say he’s a good person, but what does that have to do with me? Did I benefit from him in the slightest?”

“Based on my conclusions, he’s a completely bad person. Do you think I should trust my own conclusions or those brilliant deeds you speak of?”

“You must understand that in this world, I will only believe in myself; I can only trust myself!”

Bai Liang stood up, blocking the light behind him. His face was cloaked in shadow, and his eyes, incredibly cold, looked down at Tsou Wei. “If you want to survive, it’s inevitable to bear insults, to be trash, a bastard, a traitor, two-faced... So what? All of it is just to survive!”

“Doctor Tsou Wei, don’t you think so too?”

Tsou Wei suddenly laughed with a hint of self-mockery. “Yes, why am I telling you all this? How long have we known each other?”

Bai Liang slightly raised the corners of his lips. “You might have misunderstood; what I mean is, you’re a real piece of scum.”

“What do you mean by those words?” Tsou Wei asked, bewildered.

“Very simple. You’re the true puppet master, the main driving force!” Bai Liang’s smile gradually vanished, and his eyes, like a wolf's, stared intently at Tsou Wei.

.【Hmm? What a sudden plot twist, I'm a bit lost, guys. How did Bai Shen suddenly declare that Tsou Wei is the main puppet master?】 .

【Honestly, my brain can't keep up either. Bai Shen might have made a mistake in his analysis; how could Tsou Wei be the main puppet master?】

【You have to trust Bai Shen. Even if everything looks strange, if Bai Shen says it, then he has a reason!】

【The puzzle begins... I used to understand how Bai Shen cleared dungeons, but this time he's really gotten tangled up. Can anyone explain what's going on?】

【That's enough already, the hall is full of clueless noobs, everyone's completely confused.】

Not only did the audience in the hall fail to grasp Bai Liang’s sudden turn of events, but Tsou Wei herself was also utterly bewildered.

“You say I’m the main puppet master? Where’s your proof?”

Bai Liang scoffed coldly. “Very simple: rule restriction!”

From the Five Mansion, Bai Liang remembered those four words. Winnie and Mr. David made it clear to Bai Liang that ordinary anomalies would never know information related to quest progress!

Initially, Bai Liang hadn’t doubted Tsou Wei either, because Director Gu, like her, knew some quest information and had the same answer: rule restriction!

Until he saw that piece of paper, that’s when he finally understood everything!

Director Gu was merely an accomplice, even a cover-up; Tsou Wei was the true main puppet master!

So why did she agree to Bai Liang becoming her personal doctor?

To divert Bai Liang’s attention, she had to behave in such a way, directing his investigation toward Director Gu.

Even her appearance here now, including the words she had just spoken, all of it was to draw attention to Director Gu!

Upon hearing those four words, Tsou Wei was initially surprised, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips. “You truly are clever, but even so, I couldn’t deceive you.”

“It’s a pity, but it’s precisely because of their cleverness that intelligent people often come to a bad end!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than all the lights in the corridor suddenly went out, and it plunged completely into darkness.

Rule: Do not go into dark places. If it is still necessary, remember to bring a Flashlight, and there must be four of them!

.【Huh?!! Is Tsou Wei really the final boss?】

.【What's going on? I haven't even figured out how they started fighting?】

.【This boss has such a fast reaction; she just turned off the lights, and like that, Bai Shen broke the rules!】

.【Next, witness the Strange World's most thrilling show: The Fall of a Genius!】

.【In this situation, barring any accidents, Bai Shen will probably die now?】 .【Hmm? Why is BGM playing in the hall?... Time to pack up...】
