Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 735 Chen Yan's Wonderful Journey

Hearing the news, Chen Yan recalled the great fear left in the memory of the starry sky snake in the gamma waters of the underground mining area, and couldn't calm down for a while.

That's it...killed?
Swarm didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and continued talking almost without a pause.

"That snake polluted the waters... as soon as it died, many small things swam out of its body. We don't know what it was, but we felt it was something worse than that snake..."

Chen Yan blurted out:
"Parasite!"

Swarm described:

"Those things probably look like normal snakes...about the same length as the snakes in the cave, but they look completely different...we feel bad breath from them..."

Swarm took another sip of coffee and shivered:
"In short, it looks very evil... It's not a good thing at first glance. We killed all these things together by the way, so as not to let them go out and harm others."

Chen Yan asked in a very casual tone:
"Why can't they harm others?"

Swarm looked at him with strange eyes:
"Things that harm people must be bad! Isn't this a matter of course?"

Chen Yan nodded approvingly.

This guy, Swarm, seems to have established values ​​​​based on a certain degree of worldly morality in the human world.

This fact made Chen Yan heave a sigh of relief.

Swarm continued:
"Also, the more pests die, the better!"

Chen Yan nodded vigorously and praised his feat.

Such praise actually made Swarm blush.

After Swarm killed the parasite that emerged from the body of the giant star snake, he couldn't tell the direction inside the gamma waters, so he could only swim in the direction of the water flow until he reached a dam.

"Dam? Are you kidding me, how can there be such a thing as a dam under the water?"

As soon as Chen Yan asked this sentence, he suddenly recalled that this dam was built in the water by some people from the Northern Bureau to explore the waste abyss.

"It is true that there is a dam, and it is not small!"

Swarm said seriously.

When Swarm saw the dam, he thought there were people around the dam, so he walked along the dam, going deeper and deeper, until finally he entered a huge "hole".

"It's pitch black and you can't see anything!"

Chen Yan recalled the previous experience and said in a deep voice:

"That place is called Wasteland..."

Swarm didn't have any strange thoughts because of this name, but continued:
"It's flat land anyway—we walked straight ahead and soon saw a destroyed human city-state."

It is the ruins of the city of mountains that exist at the bottom of the abyss of rice! (For the origin of this place, please refer to Chapter 455 → Chapter 526, [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] for details)
"How did human city-states appear underground? We don't know what's going on. Curiosity keeps us exploring."

"We see more and more things. For no reason, we feel very close here, like... like home. Only the chief's bedroom used to give us such a feeling."

That is your home... the place where you were born.

"But what happened next made us very angry - I saw another big snake!"

It was the starry sky giant snake that invaded the city of overlapping peaks and was pulled into the world where Yanan City was located by the failed experiment of the laboratory of the Rice University Research Institute!

"We hated this thing so much that we killed this one too!"

Chen Yan couldn't help blurting out:

"No wonder we made such a big commotion when we were in the ruined abyss. We haven't disturbed the giant snake... so you have already killed it!"

Swarm scratched his head:
"What are you talking about? You were there?"

Chen Yan counted the time and pondered:
"No... I should have gone after you killed the snake."

Swarm didn't pay attention to his explanation, but continued:

"Actually, we were injured this time... The underground exploration was too tiring, and we wasted a lot of energy when we killed that one before. We didn't eat anything during the period, we only drank a full stomach of water. The water made us feel very uncomfortable. Because of this, we were even more hungry, and we wanted to eat dirt... so we lost our strength, and we were injured when we killed the snake."

"We fell in the dust mixed with mud and snake blood, and felt like we were going to die, but the mud...or maybe something deeper than the mud, they climbed up our bodies, they...repaired Our bodies, they... become one with us, become who we are!"

Swarm was originally an evolutionary strain of the fungus city, a serious strain man, and the remaining strains in the ruins of the city of overlapping peaks can repair his body. This explanation seems to make sense.

"During the process, we felt as if we were... as if we were back in our mother's womb."

"We were so sleepy we couldn't even keep our eyelids open, but we knew we couldn't sleep because we felt like there were other giant snakes...

The feeling was so strong that we felt that those giant snakes were secretly waiting for us to sleep completely, so that they could come and swallow us! "

"We... we heard some voices, we saw some lights, it seemed to be some kind of mining machine."

Chen Yan said:

"We were on that mining machine at the time."

Swarm continued:
"We realized that if we just followed that machine, we might be able to get back to the surface."

"The underground is too dangerous, the smell of giant snakes is everywhere, they are our natural enemies, and they seem to be stronger than when they faced us... We feel that the most powerful breath is always dormant, we kill Those two are just ordinary two..."

"Too bad, after the mining machine's searchlight illuminates a part of the underground, the most powerful breath seems to start to move... This is a very dangerous thing! Our instinct tells us that the thing has already changed from normal The giant snake has produced an essential difference, we must get out of the ground as soon as possible!"

"We realized that we must leave as soon as possible, so we gave up continuing to repair the body and followed the path opened up by the mining machine."

"Fortunately, that thing didn't catch up... I don't know why, but it just didn't catch up!"

"But we didn't have any strength at that time, and we were desperately supporting the process of following the mining machine. We bet that it was the most painful time we have ever experienced in our lives..."

"After leaving the tunnel dug by the mining machine...we were already unconscious at that time...we only felt that the danger had disappeared, so we couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep..."

Swarm drank the remaining coffee and said with a smile:
"We are awake now! Very comfortable!"

Swarm's restoration is complete.

He showed the glutinous rice fruit the most honest smile Chen Yan had ever seen:
"Thank you for the coffee!"

Chen Yan already knew what happened after that——

After entering the apartment, Swarm began to sleep, perhaps because the level of sleep was so deep that he almost lost his vital signs. Even the modular scan of the first-generation mining machine failed to find him.

Later, when the apartment was modularized into a ship, Swarm was included as an object, and it was not discovered by George Lebster until it entered the sea.

"I've seen . . . people like you before."

Osmandis looked at Swarm, his one-eyed eyes were full of excitement, Chen Yan had never seen this kid with such an excited expression.

"Do you only need to eat air to live? But your favorite is to eat snakes? I have seen you use snake skin as a culture medium. Years of evolution have made you adapt to the life of using them as materials. ..."

Chen Yan thought to himself, this kid probably thought something wrong.

Swarm also shook his head blankly:

"What are you talking about... we don't understand."

Hearing what he said, Osmandis was really taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and said to himself:
"how can that be possible……"

He didn't know what happened to Swarm, and he couldn't even imagine how outrageous the group of investigators in the North Bureau were. Naturally, he couldn't figure out why Swarm became like this now.

Osmandis looked at the innocent doubts on Swarm's face, and the doubts in his heart became more serious, and he fell into the mystery of self-doubt for a while, and bowed his head and did not speak.

Chen Yan said to Swarm:

"Now you should already know that the mining machine you saw at the beginning was driven by us, and the mine road you opened up with the mining machine later led to my apartment—that is, the current ship."

Swarm didn't question why the apartment turned into a boat at all, but just acted like he suddenly realized:
"Whoa whoa!"

Chen Yan continued:

"Do you want to meet your section chief?"

Swarm didn't expect Chen Banyan to say this suddenly, and he didn't realize it all at once:
"Oh, we……"

He reacted quickly, with a look of confusion, depression and struggle on his face.

"He is the section chief... If we meet him, he will be very angry with us..."

Swarm lost his tone:
"The section chief once had great expectations of us, he wanted us to be his right-hand man.

He found a lot of books for us, let us understand what the world looks like, he treated us to eat a lot of delicious food, taught us how to enjoy, and taught us a lot of principles of life...

When we just woke up, we were in a daze, not knowing where we came from, what we were, and where we were going...

It was the chief who told us:
We come from nature, and we are extraordinary beings bred by nature. Through our own hard work, we must bring happiness to other people, stability to society, peace to the world, and most importantly, to His Majesty. Go to glory! "

When he said this, his lost tone disappeared and was replaced by firmness:
"The chief is a good man."

"He even wrote me a letter of introduction and let me become a potential investigator of the Criminal Investigation Division! What an honor!"

His words stopped here.

A little embarrassment appeared on his face:

"Although we have been talking about bringing glory to His Majesty, we have never seen His Majesty..."

Silly children, the emperor only treats you as tool people.

There was a moving light in Swarm's eyes:

"The section chief even gave us a house... a house that most people in Yanan City can't afford to work in their lifetime!"

"The chief is very kind to us!"

"But... we always make him very angry."

"In the previous mission, we encountered a problem that we couldn't solve - it was a guy named Bei Yi. When we were performing the mission with him, he suddenly went crazy without knowing what happened. The section chief told us to hurry up Let's go, but we didn't. We felt that Beiyi was too dangerous. What if we hurt the section chief?
So we killed that Bei Yi.

The section chief was very angry and told me to go away..."

Chen Yan felt a little short of breath.

"We knew it was wrong to kill people, and we were also very afraid that the section chief would be angry, so we ran far, far... far, far."

Chen Yan realized that something was wrong:

"Where did you go?"

Swarm said:
"It's a hot place, it thunders everywhere, it rains everywhere..."

From this description, it is probably the tropical area in the south of the empire?

Chen Yan only knew that the tropical region in the southern part of the empire was very far away, but he didn't know exactly how far away it was.

"We stayed in a place full of monkeys for a long time. We figured that the section chief might not be angry, so we came back to Yanan."

"But after returning, the section chief disappeared."

"Until today, we have not been able to find the section chief..."

Chen Yan asked:

"When was that?"

Swarm replied:

"Four years ago... probably four years ago, anyway, around that time."

After he answered this point in time, Chen Yan immediately determined the timeline related to Cyborg Quinn and Swarm based on the information he knew before:

[Four years ago, Swarm killed the No. [-] [executor] of the North Bureau.

After that, Swarm fled to the south of the Empire, while Cyborg Quinn went underground to investigate matters related to Spyro Industries.

Three years ago, due to special reasons, Cyborg Quinn had part of his brain stung and became a fool. He stayed underground and joined Solal's mining team by chance.

At the same time, Cyborg Quinn's cell phone consciousness began to perfect.

About a month ago, Chen Yan went underground and killed Cyborg Quinn by chance, so the consciousness in Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone became completely independent and became the cyberspace that communicates with Chen Yan today. Greg Quinn himself. 】

After sorting out the entire timeline, Chen Yan had a better understanding of Swarm's situation.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment and said:

"Swarm, as you've seen before, I'm an investigator with the North Bureau's Frontline Investigations Section—officially."

Swarm suddenly jumped up from the sofa, straightened his body to salute and said loudly:

"Yes, sir!"

The curtain immediately fell from him, and the strain man's healthy and healthier than average body made the scene unbearable to look at.

Glutinous Rice Fruit turned his face away, Messiah's eyes were full of curiosity, and the latter was quickly blocked by Jack Baldo.

Chen Yan said seriously:

"Now, I need to conduct a detailed investigation of several island chains of the empire - Reserve Investigator Swarm."

Swarm said loudly:

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Yan said:

"I need your assistance in my investigation!"

Swarm still replied loudly:

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Yan took a deep breath and threw the curtain on him:

"Before that, you need to make sure that you must always 'wear' the curtains on your body!"

Swarm wrapped himself in curtains, and made two knots of the curtains at the shoulders and waist, and the curtains were tightly tied to him like this:
"Yes, sir!"

The people watching didn't know what kind of mentality they should use to deal with everything that happened in front of them.

Chen Yan said:

"You live in room 301... You can move freely everywhere on the ship, but you'd better not go to other people's rooms without permission. That's very rude."

Swarm heard that this was not an order, so he didn't say "Yes sir" loudly, but went back to his room 301 after saying goodbye to everyone.

Chen Yan was eager to learn more about Swarm from Cyborg Quinn, so he took out Cyborg Quinn's cell phone, but only saw the text message pop-ups superimposed one after another:

"My decision to keep him was a complete mistake! "

"He's Crazy!You will regret this! "

"He will destroy everything about you!He will ruin your life! "

"Stay away from him!Better to leave him on a desert island.Never let him return to human society! "

Chen Yan had other thoughts about Swarm, so he didn't care about Cyborg Quinn's warning.

According to the voyage, we will arrive at [Days Island] in half a day, that is, the ship will be able to dock after dawn tomorrow morning. Before that, Chen Yan has one night to deal with some key matters—these matters are extremely important. Can't fall, so I don't know if one night is enough.

Chen Yan glanced at the 8:45 displayed on the phone screen, then put the phone in his pocket, and said to the others:

"I am now going to build a road to Yanan City, which can only be used with a key. I will hand over the key to everyone later."

He can't stay in Yanan City anymore, but other people still need to live in Yanan City - Glutinous Rice Fruit, Messiah and Osmandis need to go to church schools, and Jack Baldo can't leave for a while In the life of hanging around in the market, Ogami wanted to find the "immortality" he was always looking for, although Chen Yan didn't know what it was until now, and why it existed in human society...

"Glutinous rice... Osmandis, please forgive me."

Nuomi Guo had already figured out how to use the ring in the apartment during the day—with the help of Osmandis.

In other words, the process of establishing the portal must involve the participation of the latter.

For this one-eyed boy, Chen Yan couldn't say whether he liked it or not, but he always felt that this guy was weird.

In the next half an hour, under the guidance of Osmandis, Chen Yan operated the data module through the mobile phone, and in the cabin on the third floor below the deck—that is, the first floor of the original apartment, a building was built at the end of the corridor. A door, and obtained the key of this door-these keys designed by Chen Yan are of the same type as the normal door keys of No. 33 Walker Street Apartment, which are ordinary and will not be targeted by people.

Put the evil eye ring on the cat's eye of the door. When the evil eye is closed, it looks like a cat's eye that has not been activated.

By modifying the digital module, he drew a wire from the Nautilus shell engine, set the electrification current specified by Osmandis, and connected the wire to the door handle through the evil eye.

"Okay, don't be scared next time."

Osmandis took out a thumb-sized press bottle from his arms, and squeezed out a drop of dark red... blood?Pour it on the belly of the fingers of his right hand, and then press the belly of the fingers on the one-eye.

What is that blood?

Soon, his hand left his eyes, and then looked at the evil eye on the door.

When his eyes fell on Xieyan, Xieyan opened, Chen Yan looked carefully, and the pupil of Xieyan clearly reflected a certain scene in the pupil of Osmandis——

It was a street already covered with snow, almost no pedestrians could be seen on the street, most of the doors and windows of the apartments on both sides of the street were closed by wooden boards, but you could still see the light shining through the gaps in the boards...

Chen Yan is very familiar with this place - this is the environment around the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street.

When Osmandis's pupils began to focus, the scene above the evil eye's pupils also began to shrink until it focused on a certain location-the bathroom door on the second floor of the apartment at 33 Walker Street.

"It's done!"

Osmandis closed his eyes suddenly, and the evil eyes almost synchronized with him.

After that, he stretched out his hand, and Chen Yan put the key designed together with the inner door of the ship into his hand.

He put the key into the keyhole, and with a slight twist, the crisp snapping sound of the machine came out of the keyhole.

He gently pulled the doorknob, and the door opened immediately, and the familiar smell in the apartment mixed with the unique smell of soap locust in the bathroom rushed over.

Chen Yan looked towards the opposite side of the bathroom door, looked through the window, and saw snowflakes falling under the scattered light from the street lamp.

The snowflakes are as spotless as ever.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Yan suddenly thought that he had gone to the bathroom on an unusual night and was about to leave the house.

Perhaps it was because he realized that he had left Yanan City, and the shadowy creatures that were still hovering around the apartment at dusk were gone, but Chen Yan still did not venture out, but closed the door after exhaling lightly.

"If people in the apartment need to go into the bathroom from the apartment side, they can just go in, no need to insert a key."

"If someone in the apartment needs to get into the boat from the apartment, they just need to insert the key and open the door."

Osmandis looked at Chen Yan, his eyes seemed to say, "Don't thank me, this kind of trivial matter is so casual, it doesn't deserve a thank you at all."

Chen Yan didn't let him succeed: "Thank you very much."

Osmandis looked at Chen Yan with a "hateful" look, and said, "Don't forget to save the tiger."

He obviously had other plans.

Chen Yan said to him: "I'll find you later."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he handed over the keys that had just been made through the data module to Nuomi Guo, and asked her to distribute them to everyone.

Afterwards, he returns to the apartment and takes out Cyborg Quinn's phone.

This time he didn't speak, but just typed.

"Continue to the topic just now. "

He knew that Swarm's hearing was very good, and he didn't want Swarm to find out that the section chief he was thinking of was on board so soon.

And Cyborg Quinn obviously has the same idea as him, and much stronger than him.

"Do you want to go around the database of Byron Weiss Group? I can assure you that with my protection, this trip will be safe. "

After a long silence, the blacked-out screen came back on again.

"Then, please begin. "
