Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 914 Black World Memory Fragments
Chen Yan hung up the phone.

At this moment, Yanan City, Birmingham Street, on the second floor of a closed tavern, under the moonlight, there is an old woman sitting on a wheelchair in the corner of a pale room. The person was already thin and out of shape. Although his eyes were open, the look in his eyes was almost completely lost.

A portable medical bracket is tied to the right back of the wheelchair, and an upside-down hanging bottle is hung above the bracket. The infusion line extending from the mouth of the hanging bottle snakes and connects to the needle hole on the back of the old woman's hand that is sealed with medical tape. .

On the left side of the wheelchair was a bile-collecting bag, and the thick yellow liquid in it represented the degree of deterioration of her body.

And beside her was Thomas Gilbert who had just "grown" from her feet.

He sprouted from one of the toes of her foot, and was gradually shaped by an invisible force into the shape of "Thomas Gilbert."

And now, the growth is complete.

Thomas Gilbert reached out his hand, took out the razor in the brim of the octagonal hat, and swung the knife to cut off the part where the bottom of his feet connected to the stone carving.

A viscous, pale fluid flowed from the severed part, and Thomas Gilbert rubbed the fluid on the wound on the bottom of the foot, and the wound healed quickly.

Under the moonlight, he knelt in front of the old woman, with no expression on his face as if recovering from a serious illness, and no expression in his blue and white pupils.

He first knelt toward her, then prostrated himself on the ground.

Under the pale moonlight, some water stains appeared in the old woman's eyes, which were completely distracted - she was crying.

"aunt."

Thomas Gilbert spoke to the stone sculpture, with a slight tone like a child admitting to an adult after doing something wrong:
"I won't mess up again this time."

The old woman sat there quietly, as if she hadn't heard at all.

Thomas Gilbert kissed the back of her feet, then stood up with his head bowed, respectfully backed out of the room, and locked the door behind him.

……

……

hours ago.

Days Island pier, on the boat, when Chen Yan was dreaming.

Wish lying on Chen Yan's quilt, watching Chen Yan's constant struggle due to fear, put his fingers on Chen Yan's forehead, in a state of meditation.

In the field of vision that only she can see, Chen Yan's forehead was touched by her, and countless world memory fragments burst out, flying around in the cabin, forming crazy spinning pieces of paper with Chen Yan's forehead as the center swirl.

It was the first time for Wish to encounter such a situation, and she was a little flustered.

'What the hell is going on...'

She stared at the memory fragments of the world flying around, exerted all her strength, and blushed.

'stop! '

There was an "engine stop" that only she could hear, and the madly spinning vortex came to an abrupt end.

Wish to see an unusual world memory fragment at a glance-it is a black world memory fragment!

'Finally saw it! ! ! '

I wish to spend three days and three nights next to the counterfeit, just for this moment!
So he turned around and headed towards the fragment.

Feelings never before appeared in the senses of desire—

Unexamined, like a dream that has gone through countless years.

Complicated murmurs flooded into my mind, and endless colorful lights and shadows appeared one after another.

Until the sound of the rain became louder and louder, Wish suddenly opened his eyes——

In the dark rainy alley, a few skinny wild dogs with malignant tumors were surrounding a young man in a black raincoat.

The boy's weapon against these dogs was just a black plastic stick. Although he was forced into a panic by the wild dogs, he was not injured under their siege.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, covering the sky and the sun, the sky and the earth were dark, and there was no trace of sunlight on the sky.

Colorful neon lights came from nowhere to illuminate everything in the rain alley, and the lights attracted the attention of the wild dogs. Taking this opportunity, the boy suddenly turned his head and ran away.

The wild dogs with extremely sensitive nerve reflexes followed closely behind, and the deformed barking sound mixed with electronic sounds was like a spell to urge death.

Until the boy stepped out of the rainy alley, the barking stopped suddenly without warning.

The wild dogs stopped in the rain alley, and the line of rain curtain between the rain alley and the avenue seemed to be a steel seal engraved in their genes, which could not be overstepped.

The boy didn't look back, just folded up the black plastic stick and stuffed it into his pocket, as if he had become accustomed to all this.

Wishing to come to the boy, only to see something wrapped in release paper in the boy's arms. She guessed that this thing might be the reason why the boy was chased by wild dogs.

Beyond Rain Lane is a wide street. When you look up, you can see countless billboards distributed in the mid-air between the buildings like disordered fish scales, from which the light and shadow of the previous neon lights came from.

Due to the large number of billboards, the emitted neon lights are refracted by the heavy rain, causing the entire space to be filled with chaotic lights of various colors. These lights follow the dancing of the "line dancers" on the dynamic billboards. Rapid changes occurred, and the different lights of countless dynamic billboards interlaced in disorder, as if they were performing a wild dance of demons.

The street was crowded with people, and people in black raincoats hurried to and fro, as if it was not much different from Walker Street during the commuting time in Yanan City—it was just that the scene in front of them was more illusory, like... a dream.

'What's the situation...'

Wish follows the boy's back.

'This is obviously not something that Chen Yan experienced, not when he was in Tianshen State, and it may not even be something he experienced before crossing-if he has experienced such a dangerous life, if he survived in such a dangerous environment, The later Chen Yan would not be so...friendly to others. '

'Where is this place... and what is going on with this Chen Yan here? '

The young Chen Yan had a clear purpose. He passed the busy street without even distinguishing the billboards as road signs, and entered a certain back alley. After walking for a while, he turned and knocked on a back door.

Young Chen Yan is obviously a regular customer here, the electronic cat's eye only took a short time to scan his face, and the back door was opened.

Wish followed him into the door, and was immediately attracted by a large pile of retro computers that came into view.

This is a...

Internet cafe?

To be precise, it is a black Internet cafe - the front desk of the Internet cafe is next to the back door, and there is no other safety exit except the back door. The inside of the Internet cafe is smoky, but those things are obviously not cigarettes, but something worse than cigarettes.

There were not many people in the black Internet cafe, but there were vile yelling and yelling towards the computer one after another. The young Chen Yan had obviously adapted to such an environment. He put the things wrapped in isolation paper on the bar counter of the Internet cafe and said: "Do I keep my machine?"

At the bar, a "halfling" whose lower body was hidden in a paint bucket replied in the tone of greeting a friend, "I'll keep it for you,"

Wishing to observe carefully, only to find that this "half body" does not actually have a normal lower body—his "lower body" is hidden in a dirty, discarded paint bucket.

Inside the paint bucket is a large pile of chips connected by dense wires. Both the wires and the chips are obviously second-hand, because the traces of use are very heavy, and extremely serious traces of use can be seen, and even the circuit boards of some chips are damaged. Aging has occurred.

'Is this...a brain-machine? '

Wish was surprised that he didn't even recognize the real identity of this person for a moment.

'No, it is an intelligent human being who is more advanced than a brain-machine man. '

'Although it looks old and rundown... the technology is very advanced and it only looks so bad because the materials are aged and the wiring is not organized and designed. '

Wish's gaze penetrated the man's skull and saw the brain inside the man's skull. She moved her gaze down and quickly saw the other body organs of the man—those organs were not the flesh and blood of normal carbon-based organisms, but some kind of eye tissue. It looks like a "crystallized" biological organ.

'Crystalization?It means that his organs have the properties of some kind of silicon-based substance—his biological tissue has been siliconized! '

'This siliconization is obviously controllable, and the organs in his body even look like some mass-produced general-purpose models...

This means that the technological power of this era has been able to make the biological tissues of carbon-based life forms more perfect silicon-based transformation!
This is much stronger than the simple and crude [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization] with strong side effects in Chen Yan's era. Although the two essentially use the same idea, their technical prowess is not at the same level at all. '

The siliconized body organs pieced together this person's life.

'What kind of era is this...'

'Even an intelligent human is a bit too real... This person looks like a real person. If it weren't for these cables, I wouldn't be able to see the difference. '

Wish shifted his gaze to the man's face.

'Hmm... This face is familiar, isn't it the big brother named William that Chen Yan paid homage to in prison before.

Now that Great William has appeared, it means that this place is still very likely to be just some kind of dream. It stands to reason that dreams are the rearrangement and combination of all elements in people's subjective consciousness and subconsciousness. It is normal for any outrageous dreams to appear.

And as long as the known elements appear in the dream, it can be judged that this is a dream and not something else.

Hmm... If you think about it from this angle, isn't the technology reflected in Great William the [Ultimate Upgraded Version] of [Carbon-based Silicon Neutralization]!

It is something that the imagination can imagine.

As long as the imagination can be achieved, the dream will definitely be reflected, so it is not too outrageous. '

Wish to look around.

'But... why didn't I see this place when I analyzed Chen Yan before? '

Wishes have analyzed Chen Yan more than once. She has not only seen Chen Yan when he crossed to Tianshenzhou, but also saw Chen Yan before he crossed the barriers of the world and came to this world-Chen Yan came from a very ordinary world. Even if it is developed, people's life is still relatively primitive, and computer technology and related technologies have not reached an outrageous level.

In short, it was completely different from the world in front of him—the world that appeared in the memory fragments of this world.

Wishing to see Chen Yan who was communicating with William at the bar, she realized something in her heart:

'So, is there such a possibility:
What I see now is something other than a dream. '

She is well-informed and clear-minded.

'The difference between the counterfeit and Chen Yan lies in the tearing of life - the life of the counterfeit is not continuous, and one of them is broken. This is the fact that I have made a judgment before, and it is also the The most essential difference between Yan Yan, this difference not only led to the separation and distortion of counterfeit thinking and Chen Yan's own thinking, but also led to more things——

Everything I see now is what's inside the [Break]——

It is something hidden deeper in Chen Yan's soul.

These things may not be what Chen Yan has experienced, not the life he has experienced.

But it must be something about him. '

After thinking about the wish a few times, William, who was fixed in the bar, had already checked the contents of the isolation paper package handed over by Chen Yan—it was a meat ball half the size of a palm, with dense transistors inlaid on the meat ball. It looked like a sacrificial offering used in some kind of evil ritual.

Big William reached out and opened his ears, and put the thing into his head. After a brief pause, he said:

"The goods this time are not bad, hey, there are a full 8 points of computing power... Where did you get it? Or did you get it from the group of growers in the pipeline?"

The young Chen Yan looked wary and said nothing.

"I'll count it as 8 hours of online time for you."

A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the young Chen Yan.

This hint of surprise quickly turned into eagerness. He grabbed the card handed over by Great William, went to an empty retro computer in the corner, swiped the card to turn on the power, turned on the screen, and turned on something that looked like The software of the game, and then pulled out a 10 cm long [needle tip] cable from the back of the screen, and regardless of whether the cable was clean, it stuck it backhand into the mechanical interface on the back of his neck—embedded in the skin inside the mechanical interface on the

Wish watched as the [needle tip] passed through his modified cerebellum, and finally got stuck in a certain slot between the brainstem and the brain.

When the software was opened, Chen Yan rolled his eyes and lay down on the table without making a sound.

The software on the desktop is still running. Under the gaze of Wish, a villain who looks exactly like Chen Yan appears on the software interface——the game world. He is wearing a retro armor from an unknown era, holding a pair of The unopened giant sword looked extremely majestic, in great contrast to the previous scene of being chased by wild dogs in the rainy alley.

Wishes are simply unbelievable.

Risking being bitten to death by mutated wild dogs, just to surf the Internet for 8 hours and play games for 8 hours? !

Such stupidity is beyond imagination.

'Compared with this, the later Chen Yan is more than a little bit stronger! '

Wish doesn't know the difference between playing games like this and taking off your pants and farting. Is this screen really necessary?If this keyboard is not used for typing, why is it still here?Just lying on the table for eight hours, wouldn't varicose veins cause amputation...

The wish is incomprehensible, but barely acceptable.
