Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 741 Small Theater: Another Storyline 2
"I've always been skeptical of that statement. "

Chen Yan ignored the text message pop-ups that kept popping up on the screen, and replied this paragraph to Cyborg Quinn.

After a brief pause.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it...even if you see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it for a while, because it doesn't conform to common sense——

How can a virus that only exists in computer programs infect biomass——

How can a computer virus with a binary programming language as its existence form, a processor as its calculation carrier, a transistor and a printed circuit board as its external structure, and a body made of silicate and monocrystalline silicon affect the flesh and blood of human beings? Woolen cloth? "

Chen Yan typed quickly:

"Could it be that this virus has somehow become... evolved into a silicon-based life form? "

Cyborg Quinn's answer made him feel sorry:

"That's what we thought, I even took a risk and got a piece of infected... I don't know how to describe that thing... Anyway, "a piece of infected meat". "

"The piece of meat was quickly sent for research, and the answer was returned - there was no such thing as "life" in the infected part, and the thing was "dead". "

As for where it was sent for research, Cyborg Quinn was unclear.

"Mechanization", or "crystallization" and "metallization" occurred in people infected with computer viruses - the infected biological tissue was distorted, possessing part of the properties of silicon-based metal, so it was able to carry part of the The function of the computer -

The brain has become a "brain machine" to some extent, a "brain machine" that can quickly process signals, output signals, and receive remote signals.

However, this kind of brain machine is not a normal computer. Although it has some functions of a computer, it has caused many problems accordingly:

The infected person becomes sluggish and loses interest in everything. Although the person is still the same person as before, with subjective consciousness and personality, but the physiological functions related to the "mental" level are constantly degrading and distorting.

Cyborg Quinn was worried that this computer virus would infect people on a large scale, until what happened later negated his fears——

In the next period of time, according to the data obtained from Baye Liang, Cyborg Quinn discovered that this computer virus seems to have a target, and the infection is also regular, and it will not spread on a large scale .

Was the contagion of this virus manipulated?

If yes, what is the purpose of the manipulator behind the scenes?Is it to control someone?Or use the infected to achieve something?
But Cyborg Quinn did not see the high-level of Spyro Industries being infected, nor did any of the high-level people make abnormal decisions beyond the scope of normal logic.

If not, is this computer virus artificially put in?

A virus is put in, and this virus cannot infect people casually, so what is the point of putting this virus in?
Cyborg Quinn couldn't figure it out.

His mission in the underground was also greatly hindered at this time-the underground was too chaotic in those days, a serious bloody conflict broke out in the black heaven of the Omega sector, and the angry uprising shot and killed the soldiers stationed in the Omega sector. Going to the mining machine passage in other sectors, the high-level Spyro Industry stopped the operation of the entire elevator passage, and everyone was trapped in the Omega sector, so, out of fear, anger and despair, a larger scale of bloody conflicts and Indiscriminate attack happened...

The entire Omega sector is in a mess!
Cyborg Quinn hadn't dared to go out for a few days, and all his news came from Liang Baye only.

Fortunately, Baye Liang is reliable enough. Cyborg Quinn compared and verified the news that Baye Liang gave him every day with the news that the North Bureau gave him by phone, and they basically matched.

"If there were no accidents, I would never be able to go out. You don't know how chaotic it was outside at that time. There were gunshots all day and night, and sometimes the gunshots were right beside you...

I was hiding in an abandoned mining machine at that time. Fortunately, the mining machine itself was designed with defense against underground mutant creatures in mind, so the armor was thick enough. "

Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly felt that Cyborg Quinn's emotions had become very complicated.

Chen Yan seldom perceives Cyborg Quinn's emotions from his mobile phone, one is because Cyborg Quinn is always on guard against him, and the other is because Cyborg Quinn is a data life, The effect of Chen Yan's synaesthesia on data life is not as strong as that on flesh and blood life.

But now Chen Yan feels it, which means that what Cyborg Quinn is going to tell next has left an indelible impression on him, and it may have brought about a huge turning point in his life...

"Then something bad happened, fuck, something bad...

I hated this incident, and I hated the person who gave the order. I met the greatest fear in the world...

But without this, I wouldn't be who I am now, without this, I wouldn't have a separate personality as "Cyborg Quinn", I would always be a tool, a person who exists only in There is no self-spirit in the mobile phone. "

During the third week of the Black Paradise riot in the Omega sector, Cyborg Quinn suddenly received a key message from the North Bureau:
A special infected person has appeared in the Omega sector, and the North Bureau needs Cyborg Quinn to find this special infected person and bring him back to the North Bureau.

Cyborg Quinn's mission to come to the underground was not originally this. His original mission was to find information about the various forces involved in the Black Paradise riot and report the information.

At that time, his investigation was even fruitful. He figured out several emerging technology companies involved in the riots, and obtained evidence that they participated in and led the riots—several emerging technology companies, including the Byron Weiss Group, Technology companies, these companies not only exist in the Northern Federation, but even in the farther south of the empire.

Even, Cyborg Quinn received and reported a crucial piece of news - after more than two weeks of riots, the miners team manipulated by various forces behind the scenes has formed a separate situation in the Omega sector. With thermal weapons and a continuous supply of resources, the Spyro industry has been essentially divided into fragments.

"As far as I know, that was not the case afterwards. "

Facing Chen Yan's interruption, Cyborg Quinn quickly explained:

"I know, be patient, young man, and listen to me. "

A special infected person has no name, only a code name:
【White Snake】

At that time, Cyborg Quinn knew that the underground waters were full of all kinds of weird snakes. He thought to himself, could it be that the snakes in the underground waters were infected by a computer virus, and this infected snake bit a person, Then a new form of infection appeared?
He doesn't know, so he has to leave his safe house.

After two weeks of war, the infrastructure near Black Paradise was basically destroyed by [-]%. After Cyborg Quinn left the safe house with a gun, he almost stayed in the dark.

Fortunately, he has Liang Baye - he exchanged the resources of the North Bureau, and Liang Baye exchanged part of the "vision sharing", so he can barely see things in the dark - about 5 meters away , although not much, but barely enough.

He followed the direction indicated by the North Bureau—the damn North Bureau only gave him a vague direction, which was the eighth floor of the underground facility of the Black Paradise that had been burned—he came here in the open darkness, and soon Soon found some people gathered here.

To be precise, it was the infected who gathered here.

Many computer virus infected people gathered here. They have lost consciousness, standing in place like zombies, lowering their heads and swaying slightly from side to side.

Fortunately, their density was not high, and Cyborg Quinn was able to move forward along the corridor.

The mutation happened quietly.

When Cyborg Quinn realized it, he saw that the walls made of metal around him did not know when they began to flow—this is how he described it: "flow"—like data flowing and shuttling.

Everything around him has changed, reality is distorting, some indescribable things have replaced the darkness on the edge of reality, those flowing data made Cyborg Quinn realize that he may have left reality.

The darkness at the edge of reality engulfed all light including sight, and most of his vision was eaten up by the darkness, and now he can only see things within 1 meter.

It made him panic, and the darkness intensified the panic until it turned into fear.

"Where is this?I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know where this is, and I don't want to know... I just want to escape! "

Cyborg Quinn turned around and wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape no matter what. The corridor no longer than 10 meters when he came did not know when it became endless. He could only exhaust his energy after running wildly.

"I was freaking out...you don't know how scary it was..."

Cyborg Quinn's fear ends with an encounter with a "human".

"I still don't know if he is human... Maybe it's because he has a human appearance, or maybe it's because he can speak human language... Anyway, I thought at the time, there is finally a normal person in this damn place... Finally a human being who can communicate with me! "

"He said his name was Lindsay. "

"I didn't know until later-I didn't know until I was stung by the magpie. He is the director of the Neural Architecture Division of the Byronsville Group, and his full name is Lindsay Robert Darwin. "

The director personally went to the front line, this kind of thing is beyond Chen Yan's comprehension.

"It's dangerous here, my friend, you shouldn't be here." - This is the first sentence Lindsay and Cyborg Quinn said.

Lindsay looks like a normal person—he looks like an ordinary country Luke, with a yellow beard and a deep but not hoarse voice. He wears a hard hat, has a miner's pick on his back, and holds a small but obviously powerful flashlight in his hand.

The light from the flashlight was narrow and strong, but it was still swallowed by darkness.

"I know I shouldn't be here...but I can't get out! Damn it! Do you know the way out?"

Cyborg Quinn just wants to leave.

"I'm really sorry. The way out is temporarily closed. We must imprison a dangerous guy here. If it escapes, it may have a great impact on the present world."

Lindsay said this sentence full of justice-Cyborg Quinn used the word "full of justice" to describe Lindsay Robert Darwin.

"What dangerous guy?" Cyborg Quinn asked this damn question because of this damn, unstoppable curiosity, and immediately wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

Although he regretted it, he still couldn't help thinking, what is Lindsay looking for?Could it be the [White Snake] mentioned in the information given by the North Bureau?

"A fantastic creation."

Lindsay actually answered his question.

"A creature that originally existed only on the edge of reality, an aborigine in a certain part of the [wilderness], we caught it and let it come to this world through special means."

"But it was only for a while, Lord Quinn, we finally used the vast sea of ​​people as bait to lure it into the bait and fished it out of the water, but it accidentally took advantage of some basic rules of the world and almost got rid of the hook."

Cyborg Quinn wanted to scold her, but the other party knew him, but he didn't know the other party. This shows that the intelligence department of the North Bureau did not do enough intelligence, and did not investigate clearly the accidents that may occur underground!
Lindsay didn't seem to notice that Cyborg Quinn was in a bad mood. He kept searching the darkness with a flashlight, and whispered:
"It is very vicious, very cunning, and very...smart, so we must find it as soon as possible while ensuring our own safety, otherwise it will soon escape to a place where we cannot catch it.

By the way, it's called White Snake, don't call it by the wrong name, it really hates being called by the wrong name. "

Sure enough, it was a special infected person named White Snake!
Lindsay's next sentence was said after watching Cyborg Quinn.

"Master Quinn, you will help me, won't you?
The North Bureau should also urgently need the White Snake.

But why did they only send you?

You don't have the qualifications and ability to capture the white snake, Lord Quinn, you may have been used by the North Bureau. "

Cyborg Quinn ignored the instigation in his words, and he immediately thought of another thing:

The manpower sent underground by the North Bureau this time is indeed not enough. He has complained about this many times, but the North Bureau has made it clear that the situation underground is not that serious, and he only needs to find out the matter.

Now, things have developed in a completely different way. He was suddenly sent a new mission different from the original mission, and encountered a situation that cannot be solved now, so a fact is about to come out-he was regarded as an abandoned child by the North Bureau!
The task of "investigating changes in the situation in the underground mining area" is fundamentally false. The real task is to [bring back the white snake], and there must be someone else who was sent to the task of [bring back the white snake]!
Cyborg Quinn's mentality suddenly took a turn for the worse, and his mind was severely hit. Since he came to Yanan City more than ten years ago, he has worked hard for the North Bureau and taken countless risks, but he ended up in this end...

While Cyborg Quinn was disheartened, Lindsay on the side suddenly shouted:

"Watch out! It's coming!"

　PS: about punctuation

　　According to my original design, the single quotation mark '' is used to express the inner thoughts of the characters, or non-verbal communication, or to express prominence in double quotation marks.

　　The double quotation mark "" is used to indicate the voice spoken by the character, or a certain concept or a proper noun that is highlighted.

　　Square brackets [] are used to denote particularly prominent proper nouns, which are more important than those denoted by double quotation marks "". In some recent chapters, square brackets [] are used to denote dialogue between data life.

　　The title of the book "" is used to indicate the text display. For example, in the last few chapters, the protagonist and the cyborg have been using typing to communicate, so whenever the two are typing and communicating, they are enclosed in "".

　　——Most of the dialogues in the article are written according to this design.

　　But sometimes I obviously did not refer to this design. For example, in some previous chapters, the single quotation mark '' was used to indicate the dialogue between data lives, and the square brackets [] were also used to indicate the dialogue between data lives——in I apologize to everyone here!I shouldn't have used such confusing punctuation! (manual kowtow)

　　——In the following chapters, I will use single quotation marks '' to indicate any unvoiced dialogue, or any inner thoughts of any characters; and square brackets [ ] will be used to indicate a certain concept that is highlighted.
