Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

When Chen Yan regained consciousness, he didn't feel his body.

He saw the crowd in the snowstorm, the familiar streets of Yanan City, and the slogans held high in people's hands.

His perspective is on everyone and not specific. He can watch the world from everyone's perspective and listen to people's whispers.

"After today's parade, I can no longer work in the original factory..."

"We smashed their machines, wrecked their workshops, burned their factories, and there's no going back..."

"The Street Police Department is not on our side. They set up checkpoints on the street. We have to find a way to rush through. We have to demonstrate to them..."

"We can't go back..."

In the strike team, a little boy looked at his father:
"Father, I'm hungry."

When Chen Yan saw the father, he immediately knew that the father had no extra money to buy food for the little boy. They left their hometown, entered the factory, and were squeezed dry by the rent and the factory owner. Originally, he wanted to sell the child to a family with money to feed him, because the little boy had a Luke face, so he could earn a living with this face.

Until this morning, the foreman on the assembly line told everyone that the workers in several factories would unite to go on strike and go to a sit-in in front of the House of Representatives to fight for wages for the workers.

The father realized that he might not need to sell the child. He was unprepared and took the child into the strike team. He thought that if he followed the team, he would have food. He thought that by tonight, the wages would be paid. .

Chen Yan's vision moved forward.

The identities of the people holding the banner at the front of the line were mixed. Some of them were desperate workers forced by the factory, some were students from middle-class families who rushed to the street to join the crowd, and some were speculators with malicious intentions.

Today, they unite with the same purpose and want to fight for their own interests through demonstrations and strikes.

They knew that someone had to stand up and solve the problem for them. The strike not only affected the tax revenue, but also affected the normal activities of society. Someone must be responsible for this. They firmly believed that the responsible person must be the factory owner.

And at the forefront of the team is the street police station, who is ready for battle. God knows how they put up such a complete formation. In addition to sufficient numbers of people and heavily armed riot gear, there is also a simple fence specially used to isolate the crowd.

Their jostling by the crowd ended with a gunshot.

Chen Yan looked at the front of the team in disbelief.

Guards who intercepted the team opened fire.

Since the first shot was fired, the scene has become out of control.

There was a commotion in the crowd, some escaped, more people collided, and many more people were forced to have nowhere to go than Chen Yan imagined. He had only seen this scene in some books, but everything that happened in reality gave people The strong shock is far from comparable to the records in the book.

The crowd began to rebel. Firearms are not very rare in Yanan City. The well-developed black market makes it possible for people to resist violence. …

So the death began, blood and stench filled every corner of the street, until the grenade was used in this battle, the damage spread to the houses on both sides of the street and the innocent people in the houses.

A reporter seemed to be close to filming everything, but was quickly discovered by a police officer, who shot the camera with one shot, and another shot smashed the skull. One reporter died, and another reporter immediately made up for it.

The marchers died more, and the riots inspired by blood fermented their inner grief and indignation, causing them to carry bullets and hit the line of defense formed by the explosion-proof shields. They fell one after another, and one after another followed.

It's not that they have great courage, it's just that there is no way back behind them.

Until the evening, the heavy snow covered all the gore that happened during the day, and the thick snow seemed to be able to cover everything, and the gore under the snow mixed with the snow melted by the heating into the sewer.

When the sun comes up tomorrow morning, I don't know if the gore will be completely gone.

'This... No, their method is wrong. They have no organization, no discipline, and no ability to resist. They are just reckless. '

'People need ... more knowledge. '

Chen Yan opened the forum, and named the systematic method "The Solution to the New DLC Doomsday Ending" and put it in the forum in the form of a post.

Then, he began to observe the players' every move.

……

……

In the evening, it was still snowing heavily in Yanan City.

Just like the bitter cold without warm sun in every winter, today is the same.

Tom Reibert, who was curled up in a corner room in the downtown area, swallowed the last drop of water in the kettle, moistened his chapped lips, and captured a precious scene in his eyes:

Through the window, I can see the meeting of two people in a room across the block, one is a senator from the House of Representatives, and the other is one of the organizers of today's march.

The reason why this picture is precious is that it is theoretically impossible for a senator at this level to come to a place like the Lower City. According to Tom Ribot’s investigation, the reason why this senator came to The urban area is because the industry behind him is here, and his basic business is here, and a large-scale demonstration broke out in this block today, which affected his industry.

There is no sign of tension between them at all:

There was red wine on the table that Tom Reibert could not name, and someone like the senator’s secretary lit a thumb-thick cigar for the worker leader. The sound insulation is quite good. Even though the width of the street is only five meters, Tom Ribot couldn't hear the sound inside the window.

He took a precious photo. This photo may become a major evidence of the senator's downfall. Tom Reibert carefully took out the negatives in the camera and put them in a waterproof bag.

He has followed this line for a long time, from the massacre of the workers in the industrial area to the present, from the countless clues to the Yanan City Council, and now he finally has his brows, and he must not come out error. …

He quietly left the room, passed through the very complicated corridors in the corner building that had been remodeled by people, and came to an inconspicuous small room, locked the door behind him, and developed the photos with a homemade machine.

After all this was done, he finally had time to drink water.

While picking up the kettle, he turned on his phone and entered the emulator's forum, and saw the post "How to crack the ending of the new DLC".

His spirit was a little lifted, because since the new DLC was updated, the atmosphere of the entire forum has become particularly bad, and more and more people are suffering because of the inevitable doomsday ending, and the voices of the previous rational analysis and game-breakers Completely disappeared.

Tom Reibert was also affected by such despair. If any action can't change the upcoming bad ending, what's the point of his hard work all the time?

Every time he thought of this, he felt very irritable.

Whenever he is irritable, he takes out his pocket watch. The plexiglass on the back of the pocket watch contains pictures of his wife and children, which is a considerable part of his motivation to persist so far.

'I can't let my son live in this kind of world...you have to work hard, how will you know the result if you don't work hard? '

Tom Raibert kept telling himself.

'There are many people like me, there are many people who want to save the world, and there are really many people with ideals. I have seen many such people in the forum. '

He clicked on his favorites and looked at a previous post - "The True Face of Leonardo Adams".

He saw his own home in the attachment of this post, saw the dead Leonard Adams, and heard the voice of the landlord more clearly.

'He's a good guy. '

This post has been viewed more than 20 times. Chen Yan's identity has been uncovered long ago. Even the identity of the superhuman has been exposed, but other forces quickly deleted the post. Most people can't see it. Even if they saw it, most of them couldn't believe it. They only knew that he was an ordinary citizen with a sense of justice.

People know what kind of person Chen Yan is, and Tom Ribot also knows what kind of person Chen Yan is. Ever since Chen Yan told him about the bus company workers, he has known what kind of person Chen Yan is.

'He should live...'

Tom Ribot will come to this post to brush up buildings whenever he is free. Now someone has already discussed in the post to go to the Yanan City Public Prison, because anyone with a bit of conscience knows that Chen Yan should not die because of this. ——After the DLC update, this willingness became stronger, and the organization moved from online to offline. Unfortunately, Tom Ribot still had important things to do, so he couldn't join them.
