Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 419 Everything Speeds Up
Chen Yan was not proficient at controlling the boat, and at first he would turn it around from time to time. Under the guidance of the bald man, he gradually mastered the rowing skills, controlled the direction of the boat, and struggled towards the direction where the bow was pointing at the beginning. direction forward.

Chen Yan's method of identifying the direction is very simple, that is, using the Spyro Industrial Office Building in the background of the "water oil field" as a reference, and compare and distinguish the direction the ship's bow is facing at the beginning.

It is very cold in the cave, and there are low waves coming in from time to time, which are the waves caused by the moving ships on the water surface.

Those carrier ships docked at the pier of the office building, and after being filled with the containers of the Snake Kiss Rock, they drove towards the unknown darkness. After they were out of Chen Yan's field of vision, they could only see clusters of blurred shadows of the ships.

Chen Yan exhausted a lot of energy due to his unskilled rowing skills. The cold air in the cave took away the heat generated by exercise, and his back was wet with sweat, which was quickly dried by the cold "sea breeze" and turned into fine pieces. of ice ballast.

However, the quality of the miner's uniform was too hard, and it was ridiculously waterproof. After the sweat on his back was dried into cold crumbs, it all stuck to his back, irritating his nerves.

Chen Yan got dizzy from rowing, but what kept him going was the desire to survive and the icicles on his back that kept irritating him.

He told himself that it was not time to stop, he hadn't returned to the apartment, he was not out of danger yet...

After more than 40 minutes, Chen Yan finally arrived at the entrance of the waterway that George Lebster mentioned.

The water flow here has become quite gentle, and Chen Yan entered the waterway without too much effort. According to George Lebster's instructions, he avoided all forks and moved forward along the waterway.

After 10 minutes as long as the whole winter, Chen Yan finally saw the familiar stalactite pier and the small gate not far from the pier.

The moment he docked the boat on the shore and stepped on the stalactite pier, he felt his legs go soft.

It feels so good to be able to step on the ground...

He was finally able to take off the gas mask, took out the key to open the door, climbed up the scaffolding with his tired body, and finally returned to his kitchen.

The kitchen was still in a terrible state after being destroyed, but Chen Yan looked at the mess in front of him and felt very warm in his heart. The broken fireplace was so perfect in his eyes, and the pile of broken wood and glass shards by the window had also become a mess. pleasing to the eye...

He glanced at his watch.

It is already 11 o'clock in the evening.

The next moment, the kitchen door was opened, and a scream of surprise appeared in Chen Yan's ear.

"Chen Yan! You are not dead!"

Chen Yan no longer had the strength to correct his wish, he forced a smile, and walked out of the dilapidated kitchen under the amazed or surprised eyes of the tenants who appeared next, like a hero returning after slaying a dragon.

"Thank you everyone... I'm too tired and I can't move my mind. Let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything else!"

After looking at everyone's eyes with "I'm really fine", Chen Yan stood on the stairs to say good night to everyone and returned to his bedroom.

He took off his heavy miner's equipment, fell down on the bed, rolled his eyes, and lost consciousness.

Wish looked at his white gloves that he hadn’t taken off while sleeping, and realized that he was different from before, but Wish didn’t act happy because of it. The stronger the ability, the greater the chance of losing control, and the accumulation of loss of control irreversible.

Chen Yan had lost control of the corner building in the lower city once before. If he lost control again, his new ability might become a gallows to strangle him.

This is the price paid for evolution.

Wish kept vigil for him as usual.

Presumably there will be no new visitors tonight. The blood of the Moon God, Kerize Hunter, died in the wilderness. He was a real superior.

Different from the rags that had been downgraded last Sunday night, Kerrize Hunter is the agent of the Hunter family who is directly related to the Moon God among the many ethnic groups of the Moon Family. He is an old guy with a lifespan of more than 200 years, and is cunning enough , and stable enough, countless extraordinary people have fallen into his hands over the years.

And now, even he died in the wilderness below the chimney.

Such a guy died in the wilderness-this fact in itself is enough to dissuade most people who have thoughts about the wilderness.

Standing by the window, Wishing looked at the Moon Tower towering into the sky in the city center, blocking part of the moonlight. She thought to herself that the wilderness as a [deeper world] is not something that ordinary extraordinary people can touch.

In the past, ordinary extraordinary people spent their entire lives, perhaps not even entitled to hear the name of the wilderness.

But now, the wilderness is not only known by many people, but also attracts countless ambitions - such ambitions are abnormal and should not be produced, just like the ugliest and most inferior beggar in the world, no matter what. You will not fall in love with the noble and holy princess standing on the cloud—the beggar doesn’t even know the meaning of the word “princess”, and it is even more impossible for a simple description to produce “love” for the princess.

Even if there is, it is just the desire of biological instinct.

And ** is stupid, it will only lead to self-destruction.

The moonlight is particularly dim tonight, maybe the moon god is mourning the passing of a superior person, maybe it's just because the moon clock tower blocks the moon's light.

The blizzard that appeared at midnight seemed to bury the entire city, but within two hours, the houses and roads were already covered in white, and when looking down from a high altitude, there was no difference.

Only the Smoky Lake remains unfrozen—for hundreds of thousands of years, even in the harshest winters of Yharnam, the surface of the Smoky Lake has never frozen over.

Out of the arrogance of "civilized society", Yanan City didn't care about the changes among the countless islands on the Smoky Lake, which was once called "a garbage dump full of garbage people", but now it is deserted.

The people known as pirates have left their dilapidated dwellings and entered the new world under the cover of the lake along the unknown waterway, becoming a member of the new civilization that is about to emerge.

Even though Wish has seen the rise and fall of countless civilizations, she still doesn't know what the world will become.

……

……

When Chen Yan opened his eyes, it was already 08:30 in the morning.

This sleep washed away all his fatigue, and when he woke up, apart from feeling very hungry, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

He feels that he is more "awake" than before, and the whole world has become more "clearly visible" before his eyes. This feeling is indescribable, and only through his own eyes can he feel the changes.

He glanced at the miner's uniform and thought that this thing might be needed again soon, so he stacked it neatly and stuffed it under the bed.

Then he found a padded black linen jacket and a pair of slightly thin jeans from the suitcase, put them on, and went downstairs.

Today is Saturday, but the children still went to school. Chen Yan heard Nuomi Guo talk about their research topic yesterday. Now that the culprit of the bloody incident in the industrial zone has been punished, they must be able to get corresponding credits?
Chen Yan found Jack Baldo, and after expressing his doubts, he heard the latter say:
"The children have gone to school. They should be doing well today, but what will happen in the end, Nuomi Guo said, it's hard to say."

"After you were taken away, before you came back at 11 o'clock in the evening, Ogami had already returned, stayed at the chimney for two hours, and left again, saying that he was going to the Powder Keg Gang's station."

Jack Baldo pauses here.

"Last night after you came back at 11, he came back and said the Powder Keg Gang garrison in the back half of Walker Street was empty, and he killed a few of them, but that didn't work.

He said that this matter was very complicated, and that the powder keg gang's surprise attack last night was not just to enter the wilderness, but to distract him.

Leonardo Adams encountered a very complicated danger, and now he dared not even go home, so he offered a price of 100 pounds an hour, and wanted to keep Ogami to help him protect him. "

When Chen Yan heard this astonishing hourly salary, he was uncharacteristically unmoved, and only said:

"This money should not be earned."

Jack Baldo said unexpectedly:

"That's what Ohgami said too, he seems to know how Leonard Adams gets his money, so he's not getting paid anymore.

The reason why he is still staying with Leonard Adams is for another matter. "

"Wait a minute."

Jack Baldo returned to the bedroom of Room 104, holding a brown [ball] in his hand, and came to Chen Yan.

"He brought this thing back last night and asked me to hand it over to you."

Chen Yan found this [ball], and felt that this thing seemed to be some kind of pangolin?But now it is winter, and the pangolin is still hibernating, so it shrinks into a ball like this.

"Ogami said that this thing is called [Spherical Tungus], and it was the work partner of a Miskatonic University student named Wilke Young 15 years ago. family, Tungusia."

Chen Yan looked at this [ball] with unstoppable shock in his eyes.

He still remembered the story Wish told him the night before, and he was deeply impressed by the unlucky guy in that story who was sleepwalking due to infection with an unknown strain of spores: Wilke Young.

This [Spherical Tunguska] is the tool beast that Wilke Young applied for from Midland back then that can dig the ground!
Where did Ogami get this thing from! ?

Jack Baldo says:
"Ogami said that's why he's still with Leonard Adams right now."

Chen Yan thought to himself that he had indeed told Ogami about the events that happened in Midland back then.

Seeing Chen Yan's dazed expression, Jack Baldo continued:

"Ogami said that Leonard Adams wants to cooperate with you to dig out the truth of the experiment that happened in the Midland laboratory 20 years ago and make it public."

Chen Yan asked: "What good will it do him?"

Jack Baldo frowned and said: "Ogami said that it seems to be to bring down a person, to tarnish that person's reputation, and to drive that person out of Yanan City."

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What's that man's name?"

Jack Baldo thought for a long time before saying a name in the very awkward language of the Divine State: "That person seems to be called Chen Changsheng."

He added: "Ogami said that everyone calls him James Adams now."
