Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 750 [Zoo Horror Chapter] Seven: Jihak's warning, and the start of the wind time

Chen Yan listened to his continuous words, and thought to himself, this guy is a demihuman from an island, but the imperial language he speaks does not have any accent, which means that he should have received a normal education in the empire. At least not as barbaric as the legendary island natives.

Chen Yan carefully used synaesthesia to detect the faint thoughts coming from the cold sea water, and at the same time made his own voice:
"Jehak, are you working the night shift now?"

There was a lot of bitterness in the laughter of Jihak's answer:
"Ha! The administrator is different from the breeder. They work all year round! The administrator must ensure that everything in the park under his jurisdiction is normal. If there is any abnormality, we will be there immediately!"

Chen Yan thought, this is too hard.

"You are so busy at work, the salary must be high?"

Annoyed, Jihak continued on the topic just now:
"Like now, like tonight! It sucks! Tonight's group of invitees wasn't led to the correct area by the guide, and the stupid hunter with all the shit in his head didn't complete his hunt." Kill, so they all ran into the aquarium without control! This is the abnormal situation tonight!"

Ok?Out of control?

Chen Yan understood the subtext of this sentence:

Invitees—visitors’ tours inside the zoo, under normal circumstances, are carried out under the control of some power in the zoo—according to the wishes of the zoo, they get the invitations required for the tour and start the tour according to the established route , and let the set death inevitably happen at a certain moment.

The abnormal situation is now, the invited tourists lost control under the "improper" operation of the tour guide-the tourists lost control-the out-of-control tourists began to kill each other, and in an uncontrolled manner in the Goofing around in the zoo - they're entering the aquarium through various passages, into aquariums that some of them shouldn't have been in.

Chen Yan issued a tentative inquiry:
"So, I'm also part of the abnormal situation?"

The exasperation in Jihak's words disappeared:

"That's not the case. Although the staff rules of the zoo expressly stipulate that visits are not allowed, due to the frequent occurrence of abnormal accidents, colleagues must unite to deal with the accidents better—this should be regarded as an unwritten rule— — Zoo employees must unite."

Chen Yan had long forgotten the contents of the employee code, but even if there was no employee code, even if he did not use synaesthesia, he still knew what Jihak said was correct—workers should unite.

It's just that most of the zoo's employees are extraordinary people, and their backgrounds are complicated. Even if it is not difficult to unite verbally, they don't know what kind of difficulties they will encounter in practice.

The surrounding sea water was icy and cold, but Chen Yan did not feel cold unexpectedly, but felt a little comfortable. He didn't know how to explain this situation.

Jihak complained:

"This accident is quite outrageous, because the tour guide is a newcomer, so something went wrong at work, and everyone in the group was scolding just now."

Chen Yan had nothing to say.

Jihak is still complaining:
"According to the normal situation, the tour guide's responsibility is to guide the invitees to the area that suits them, and let them stay in that area-at this time, a stupid hunter with a mind full of shit will appear and hunt them down. Kill, the invitees who died under the hunter's meat knife will usher in their new life."

"But tonight, under the irregular operation of the new tour guide, everything went wrong."

"Those invitees ran out, and it happened that most of them came from the sea, and their extraordinary power was more or less related to the sea, so, for most of them, the most suitable destination is the aquarium aquarium—that’s how they ended up being directed to the aquarium.”

Chen Yan asked:

"When I came over, I saw the hunter following. Where is he now?"

Jihak said in a "really bad" tone:

"He is wandering aimlessly now! After all, the aquarium has not yet opened, and the last part of the infrastructure has not yet been completed. Even a hunter with [Beast Eyes] cannot see things very far away in the aquarium."

If the infrastructure is not perfect, you cannot have a normal vision... Chen Yan thought that the zoo itself is a piece of land reclaimed from the [wilderness], and one of the characteristics of the [wilderness] is that it can swallow light, so the tone said " The hunter's vision can't see very far", it's better to say "the hunter's vision is swallowed by the wilderness".

So, the final infrastructure in the aquarium is to isolate the zoo from the [wilderness] to a certain extent?
Chen Yan ruthlessly held back, but still did not hold back, and issued a dangerous question:

"And what's that last piece of infrastructure?"

Complex emotions came from the synaesthesia, and Jihak's voice came immediately:

"Honestly, I'd like to know too... All I can tell you is that's why zoos exist."

Synaesthesia told Chen Yan that Jihak really didn't know.

So he quickly changed the subject:

"I went to the warehouse before, and the hunter didn't show up near the warehouse."

Jihak snorted twice:
"Hunters have no brains, and rely on the geographical advantages of the zoo to hunt, but his tricks will not work in the aquarium-hunters can't swim! If they fall into the water, they will drown!"

Chen Yan felt a little absurd, but thinking about it carefully, "you will drown if you fall into the water" seems quite normal?

Jihak said:
"Once the hunter is dead, the little trouble we are facing now will become a big trouble-don't ask why, because I don't know! I can only tell you that this is Wilson, the bastard, who has been using it to threaten the management of various parks. staff and breeders rely on."

When Jihak finished speaking, another link appeared in Chen Yan's synaesthesia—it was the call from Ariste, and Chen Yan could feel that she was not far from his feet, but because of the need for Jiha Because of Ke's fear, she did not come to him.

"That octopus of yours is... interesting."

As the administrator of the aquarium, Arist's small actions cannot be hidden from him.

Jihak's voice gradually became deeper and deeper. Chen Yan had to concentrate and even use synaesthesia to barely "hear" his words:
"Species that can resist decay are too rare, and the zoo will not give up her. You'd better not make some promises that you can't keep...don't let yourself have any form of connection with this rare species."

Jihak continued:

"A few last words of advice."

"The first piece of advice: The new tour guide is very weird. Although he is a newcomer, he has more authority than us old people. He is a very dangerous guy.

You'd better stay away from him, and if you have to contact him, you'd better not contact him as much as possible.

At the same time, he is also the breeder of the snake area. "

Chen Yan heard clearly that it was a "breeder" rather than a "manager".

"The second piece of advice: Although you have not been expelled, you no longer have the status of a breeder in the tiger area. I heard that the new breeder in the tiger area is a scumbag who was airborne from the group, so you'd better not go to the tiger area at will. "

He quickly continued talking, and Chen Yan immediately understood that he didn't want to go deep on this topic.

The new breeder in the tiger area, the deputy director of Byron Weiss' neurostructural department, a brain robot named Wan Brinmosh, what is the purpose of his coming to the zoo?
Chen Yan didn't have time to continue thinking, because Jihak spoke again:

"The third piece of advice: don't worry about dolphins, he is also one of the administrators of the aquarium, don't look at him as crazy, sometimes it is very useful, there are too many animals in the aquarium, we are short of manpower now, and Dolphins can do many things."

Chen Yan asked at this time:
"On the gate of the aquarium, the notice inside the glass said that after communicating with the tour guide, if no dolphins can be found, all jellyfish should be killed. What is the reason for this?"

Jihak didn't answer, but questioned:
"What notice? The notice inside the glass of the aquarium's gate? Why didn't I know there was such a thing?"

The two were silent at the same time.

It was Jihak who broke the silence.

"Really bad."

The emotions coming through the synaesthesia were worse than those attached to his words.

"It may be a prank by an administrator, or it may be something that sneaked in from the [wilderness]... In short, the aquarium is no longer safe, you need to leave immediately!"

Chen Yan asked with his unique way of understanding things in the zoo:

"I just want to know, is the thing written in that notice effective?"

Jihak answered quickly:

"It may or may not take effect, it all depends on how much influence the maker of this notice can have on the aquarium...

You must leave as soon as possible, I will let the killer whale stay away from you, now, let the octopus take you away, you can leave the aquarium when you go ashore and go straight to the dark depths where there is no water. "

Chen Yan asked:

"What's the final time limit?"

Jihak sighed:
"There is no time limit, the worst can happen at any time, run away!"

Chen Yan took out the phone with difficulty:
"We haven't exchanged numbers yet."

Jihak froze for a moment:
"Oh, I forgot..."

The two exchanged numbers, and Jihak drifted away into the distance. Chen Yan felt a "unreconciled" emotion from the orca, but it didn't work, and the synesthesia for the orca quickly disappeared.

Ariste climbed onto Chen Yan's back. At this time, she had become much smaller, but the musculature of her head had been repaired, which gave her enough strength to push Chen Yan to the shore——

It is said to be "the shore", but it is actually the edge of a huge swimming pool. There are no steps here, but the edge has been treated with anti-slip and anti-collision treatment. It took Chen Yan a lot of effort to climb up with the help of Arist.

"Sir... can we still get out of here?"

Chen Yan heard strong expectations from Arist's words.

"I don't know, Arist, I don't even know any way out of here."

Chen Yan didn't lie to her, because after Osmandis' voice disappeared, he was not sure whether he could leave here through Osmandis' vision.

If he swaggered through the main entrance and passed through the gate of the zoo like an ordinary employee, would he be greeted by the street next to the central park in Yanan City, or some uninhabited island on the first island chain of the empire?

"We can only try, right?"

Chen Yan said:

"Our attempts are likely to be fruitless. You are a very special existence, and the zoo will not give up on you easily."

Arist seems to have accepted his current situation, so after hearing this desperate news, he is not so desperate.

"Is there a way for me to leave too?"

Chen Yan thought of Osmandis.

Theoretically speaking, he and Osmandis share vision, and if he looks directly at Arist, Osmandis can teleport Arist through the channel formed by his sight.

"There is a way."

Listening to his firm tone, Arist was surprised with some panic, because she was not sure whether what Chen Yan said was true or not.

Chen Yan felt her emotions through synaesthesia, and sighed slightly in her heart, "kindness can be exchanged for kindness" seems to be inconsistent with most people's cognition, and she is no exception.

Chen Yan continued:

"But we have to find our way out of here first..."

The darkness in the aquarium is not as dense as in [Wildness], but the distance of vision is still limited. Chen Yan can't see very far, and can only vaguely compare the poor light and darkness around his body based on the halo scattered from outside the aquarium dividing line.

Going to the place where there is no water in the deepest part of the darkness—he moved slowly, keeping his eyes on his feet, and he soon discovered that the water bank under his feet was a straight line, and it seemed that there was really only one piece in the middle of the water in the aquarium Just a large body of water.

While remaining cautious, he gradually accelerated his pace, until a few minutes later, a loud "whistle" sound suddenly came from his ear.

Chen Yan recognized it almost immediately, it was the cry of a dolphin!
He took out his mobile phone, only to see that the time displayed on the screen was exactly 11:30 in the evening - it was time for the animals in the aquarium to go out!
The next moment, a chill came up from the soles of his feet.

In the time Chen Yan took a step forward, the water had already reached his ankles, and at the same time, he felt a strange touch on his feet. The touch was so dense that he realized it immediately. What was touching—it was an anglerfish!
Suddenly, the dense anglerfish under the feet scattered in all directions, and a loud cry appeared not far away.

"Wang!"

It's Arist's Shiba Inu!

This little thing disappeared when it was washed out of the warehouse by the flood, and it has survived until now!

Shiba Inu went to Chen Yan's side, and wailed at Arist who was hanging behind him.

Arist said to Chen Yan in a relatively restrained voice:
"I'll shut it up, can it follow us?"

Chen Yan acquiesced.

Arist tried to call it, but couldn't get the words out.

"I forgot the name of it... Am I starting to deteriorate?"

Arist doesn't know anything about corruption, so he can only describe his situation as "deteriorated".

Chen Yan did not feel the feeling of "mental illness" from synaesthesia, but when facing some out-of-control people before, the feeling of "mental illness" was very strong.

But if there is no corruption, why is there memory loss?
Chen Yan couldn't think about this question, because a human voice suddenly came from not far away.
