Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 720 Antecedents
"Brother, this thing... where did you get it?"

Nate Jacob, who goes by the pseudonym Mike Rauls, is obviously very guilty. His rough face and forced composure make the words used to hide his guilt look very clumsy.

The wind and snow fading away in the clear morning has been difficult to suppress the strong smell of the market street in the lower city. The pungent smell drifting into the intermediary company has diverted part of the attention of "Chen Yan", making the conversation less rigid than imagined .

"I gave it to you in Bagreto."

"Chen Yan" told the truth.

Chen Yan knew in his heart that even if he came by himself, he still had to tell the truth. Only by telling the truth and causing Nate Jacob to be condemned spiritually would it be possible for Bagley's cursed soul to be tortured to a certain extent. Relief, so that the evil spirit is no longer as "evil" as before——

But what is the purpose of this "nosy"?
Chen Yan knew that the reason why "Chen Yan" didn't put down the necklace directly, or left the necklace with Nate Jacob in a deceptive way, was because his purpose was more than that.

This damned mind-to-heart connection made Chen Yan very confused, and his desire to explore "Chen Yan"'s inner thoughts and to know the identity of "Chen Yan" became stronger.

"He suffered a lot in prison."

When "Chen Yan" was talking, Chen Yan already felt the trembling of the evil spirit clinging to the necklace. A special existence that can only be observed from a unique perspective.

Perhaps the eyes of the skull can also see shadow creatures, but it must have a high degree of awakening. At least in Chen Yan's experience before, even if the eyes of the skull are opened, it is rare to see a creature full of eyes. Shadow creatures:

This shows that being able to see shadow creatures is the result of a higher degree of awakening of "spiritual vision".

When "Chen Yan" said these words, Nate Jacob was trembling all the time.

He is very scared, but he can overcome his fear for the time being. Years of being a gangster in the market has made him fierce enough. Once faced with a threat, he can use fierceness to form an armor to defend against everything that may hurt him.

Although he was afraid, he always listened, because he still had some humanity, and he would have "guilt" in his heart. When facing the lover he had betrayed, he would not be able to come up with enough to "Chen Yan" A single shot collapsed, or the necklace was crushed fiercely.

"After you left, Bagley couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't bear the countless years of prison life he was about to face, let alone your betrayal."

When "Chen Yan" said this passage, his voice was very soft, and there was no accusation in his words:
"He tried to escape from the prison, but the control of the prison was so strict that he could only take the waterway—there was a waterway hidden in the sewer of the prison, which was connected to the underground water, and it was not so easy to walk."

Nate Jacobs rubbed his beard, and his right hand, which quietly reached into the counter, had already touched the grip of the pistol.

After thinking about it several times, he tightened and loosened his grip, and finally gave up holding the gun handle, and continued listening.

"Maybe it's because of missing you, or maybe it's because of something else... He took a great risk."

"It's a pity that he was not very lucky. When he entered the water, he was cursed by the mermaid and turned into a monster that was neither human nor fish."

Nate Jacob listened to this absurd description, and as a mortal who had no contact with extraordinary creatures at all, he actually believed it.

He continued to listen in uneasiness.

"He was trapped in the waters connected to the sewer, tortured and imprisoned by the curse for three full years, until I happened to meet him, he was already crazy, his head was not clear, and he used his cursed power to find Mate...he uses his powers to turn other prisoners into his 'bride'...a sort of mermaid-like monster."

"Until recently, I killed him."

When he heard the three words "I killed him", Nate Jacob suddenly raised his head and looked at "Chen Yan", his eyes were complicated and indescribable - he probably couldn't figure out his current mood.

There are guilt and uneasiness, ecstasy and luck, and there is also a memory that burst out because the dust was suddenly opened. The name of that memory is Missing, but he doesn't understand it.

"Chen Yan" looked straight into his eyes:

"Do you have anything to say?"

Nate Jacob didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke, and he could hear the obviously suppressed bewilderment:
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Chen Yan" said:
"I was shocked when I heard Bagley tell about this incident, so before Bagley died, I promised to give you this necklace."

Nate Jacob looked at the necklace pushed in front of him by "Chen Yan", and couldn't tell what kind of emotion was contained in the intermittent words in his mouth:
"Bagley... he is nice, I like to associate with him, because there are very few such cheerful people in prison... He also has flaws in character, otherwise he wouldn't go to prison for murder... But overall he is good, He gave me a lot of comfort and, of course, I gave him too."

The reminiscence look in Nate Jacob’s eyes was mixed with panic, and he didn’t know why he had to tell this stranger in front of him such things, which had been completely covered up with him changing his name and surname. , and now mentioning it again, it only made him feel like a lifetime away.

"I promised to be with him forever... At that time, I really wanted to be with him forever... At that time, I just entered the prison and my spirit was not very good. Come out from inside, you know the situation inside, and whoever goes in will have a hard time.”

"He healed me... I got my mind back and started trying to get out - I wanted to leave with him, as I said, I always thought he was a nice guy, I was even in jail Married to him... I originally wanted to be with him for the rest of my life."

"But how can everything go so smoothly, brother, how can life be so smooth..."

"I connected with my family out there and I started to understand that I had a family, that I was the husband of a woman, the father of several children, and my children were still growing up, once they knew their father was in prison What do I do, how do I face them? How will they be affected by me?"

"I betrayed him... I left him in fear and selfishness. I paid a heavy price and changed my name and surname before I lost contact with everyone I knew in prison."

After he said this in a fearful tone, he looked at the necklace in his palm.

"I thought I'd get rid of the past once and for all."
