Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1022 Blasphemers
The city in the eternal darkness stood so quietly on the silent vacuum. The layered urban structure made this behemoth look like some kind of weapon. The circular orbit surrounding the city was the focusing device of this weapon.

Ogami moved his perspective. When his line of sight was exactly within the range of the planet's reflected sunlight, he saw a dense construction team - ships of various types that could not be named like ants were scattered in every corner of the space city, moving at extremely fast speeds. The speed of building this miracle is more perfect.

The entire building spread out of sight looks like an almost conical storm. It is huge in the distance and has begun to shrink when it gets closer. Judging from this situation, it may have shrunk to a normal surface building by the time it reaches the surface. of scale.

They want to build a city.

Ogami held the alien blade in his hand and looked at the miracle in the darkness. He thought to himself, this is different from what the intelligence said. Isn't the empire building an ark to escape from here?Why did cities suddenly start building again?

An answer appeared in Ogami's mind:
Their arrogance makes them think that they can fight or even eliminate [Apocalypse] with the technology in the [Dark Zone]!
[Apocalypse]... If the apocalypse could be avoided so easily, he wouldn't have to pursue it for so many years and still get no results.

Another period of time passed, and Ogami's spacecraft was about to dock. He hid in the box containing the sword again and welded it intact.

After the heavy feeling of overweight, there was a loud crashing sound of the spacecraft's landing gear and the alloy ground.

After the violent exhaust sound of the pressure relief valve sounded, noisy footsteps appeared outside the container - the sound could be transmitted, indicating that this was not a vacuum environment.

'This city... can actually create an oxygen environment for human survival...'

If oxygen environments do exist, they must not be unique to warehouse areas.

The increasingly noisy footsteps are more puzzling. This place obviously seems to have been completely automated, so why does it still need manual work?

Maybe it's because part of the mailing needs to be kept secret?
Perhaps the machine cannot classify some items with vague attributes?

With a slight tremor, Ogami felt the container he was in being lifted up and transported away from the warehouse - the noisy footsteps and voices gradually became distant - until he changed direction for the 16th time and lasted for half a month. After an hour of transportation, the container landed, and Ogami pointed the tip of his sword at the opening of the container above.

In the next 3 minutes, nothing happened.

Ogami felt something was wrong and opened the [Short-distance Data Distribution Center]. A stream of inexplicable information - like radio information gathered together by countless short signals, after aggregation, merged into one stream, was captured and translated - —

[Merciful Father, you are our life, the God of the earth who is in charge of all births.

O inseparable prayer and love, that is the source of our worship and faith in you.

O love of universal harmony, your divinity planted a seed in our hearts, and now that seed is taking root and growing vigorously, with birds and bees hovering over it.

The source of creation, the union between branches gives birth to new flowers.

The love awakened in our prayers will be the power that brings you back to earth.

Life, bloom here...】

Ogami only captured such radio information, but did not hear any noise from the outside world.

He stayed calm and waiting while staying calm was one of the things he did best.

After a while - maybe a few minutes passed, he suddenly smelled a very surprising smell.

He easily recognized the smell and was very confused by it, so he couldn't help but stick the omnic prosthetic hand on the wall of the box and turn on the low-power and high-frequency infrared perspective.

The vision outlined by the lines appeared. It was a room that looked quite large. The carbon-based life forms in the room were squeezing and squirming, looking like some kind of crawling maggots.

The stacked carbon-based life forms seemed to become indistinguishable from each other at this moment, reaching the great perfection of life.

What's strange is that among them, a line that is completely different from them is forming. Ogami can't tell what that thing is. She can only see that every time the maggots squirm faster, the thing's body The shape becomes stronger.

Suddenly, a ray of light pierced the darkness, revealing the maggots at a glance——

"Federal Guard! Please accept the investigation!"

At the same time, the [Short-range Data Distribution Center] of the intelligent prosthetic hand continuously sends back to Ogami the translation of radio signals captured from a new frequency band——

【I saw them! 】

[Damn, what the fuck is this? !I saw the director of the southern γ-13 base? ! 】

【there are more!I...I saw the herald who read out the report in the central Starlink area this morning! 】

[I scanned...a chief engineer...]

【Sir!Should the mission continue? ! 】

【Emergency situations!please reply!please reply! 】

After a brief silence, a new source took over the band with higher authority and shut down everyone else's ability to transmit.

[Ask the STR-56 execution team of the Federal Guard Bureau to kill the criminals at the scene. 】

There are no emotional symbols in this radio signal, so the [Short-range Data Distribution Center] cannot translate the tone of the person who issued the order.

[I repeat, please shoot the criminals to death. 】

When the gunfire rang out, an instantaneous and massive burst of light erupted in the room.

In Ogami's infrared perspective, a completely different line from others began to escape - it jumped onto the roof, dodged most of the bullets, and then climbed restlessly on the roof, seeming to want to leave here, but There's only one way out - it's trapped.

A moment later, when the gunfire fell, the radio communication in the [Short-range Data Distribution Center] was restored.

[Report, all criminals have been killed. 】

The report was repeated three times, and the FPS execution team exited the room and closed the door.

Ogami is still waiting quietly, because from his experience, the time that seems to be the safest is actually the most dangerous time.

The thing on the roof obviously knew this. It didn't move towards the door immediately. It just passed a very long...Ogami didn't know what it was, maybe it was a tongue?It was ingesting something from the corpse through its tongue. That something was not blood, but seemed to be something similar to "essence". Ogami couldn't tell clearly.

A few minutes later, the door of the room was opened from the outside, and a soldier from the Federal Guard Bureau who was no different from before walked in. He immediately closed the door with his backhand and pointed a strange-looking gun at the fleeing lines on the roof. Pull the trigger.

There was no gunshot, but the thing fell straight down and hit the pile of dead people, making no sound.

The man stepped on the thick blood and the excrement caused by death, stepped on the pile of dead people to the center of the room, grabbed the thing, and then...

Then, he ate it!This is simply one of the weirdest scenes Ogami has ever seen in her life!

The man finished eating the food, burped, and walked towards Ogami.

When he came to the container, he made no move to open the container and kept a certain distance from the container.

"Dude, listen, I know you're there."

Um? !How can it be!I had blocked all detection signals when I came here, how could anyone detect it?

The only possibility Ogami could think of was that his software version might be lagging behind and he would be unable to use the old functions of his software version to counter the new detection methods in Starlink.

He couldn't be sure.

Another thing that puzzled him was why this person's voice seemed familiar?

Ogami felt that the other party's voice was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who the other party was. He knew that this was because he had only heard the other party's voice, but had never interacted with him before.

"I don't want to cause anything, I just want to have a good relationship with you - I'll do you a favor and you do me a favor, okay?"

Ogami remained silent.

The other party was explaining his purpose in a way that sounded complicated but was actually very clear:
"You are now in a room on the upper floor of the Starlink STR-56 colonial base. The STR-56 base is one of the largest bases in the southern region of Starlink. Its upper civilian area is very large...probably the entire imperial capital. one-fifth the size.

There are a large number of staff and... dignitaries from the imperial capital living here.

Because almost all the residents here are rich or noble, the security is particularly strong, making it easy to get in and difficult to get out.

I can help you leave here - under completely safe conditions, I will give you an identity that will give you permission to enter each [Taomen], and you will use these permissions to leave smoothly. "

Sounds pretty good.

Ogami has always acted based on the principle of "minimizing the risk as much as possible", so he is completely able to accept the other party's suggestion.

But considering that he had to complete the second half of the transaction by himself, Ogami knew that the risk of the transaction itself was very high.

"As for my request."

What the other party said was very simple:
"Dude, I need that sword of yours."

Then, there is nothing to talk about.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to give me that sword. I just need you to cooperate with me and strike me with a sword."

Ogami didn't respond. The other party's outrageous request exceeded his understanding.

"This sword may consume a lot of energy, but please don't worry, I will give you the authority to open each [Tao Gate] before this sword is struck - you can completely connect to the Starlink network to control your identity Make inquiries.”

Ogami still didn't speak, and just released radio signals through the [Short-distance Data Distribution Center]:

'No problem, but before the deal starts, I'd like to know what's really going on here. '

After a brief silence, the other party responded:

"It's a long story, but now we are safe. This room can no longer be opened to the public. It will be filled with cement and become a dead room..."

The other party did not hide the fact that it could receive radio signals at all. Ogami thought, in this case, the other party was probably a brain machine, or some kind of weird thing with an abnormally powerful nervous system that could send and receive radio signals. The world There are always strange things like this on the Internet, and Ogami has encountered many of them.

The "other party's response" itself means that the other party does not want to conceal his identity, which is equivalent to "sincerity" to a certain extent.

The other party speaks cleanly and neatly, and is never sloppy when making transactions:

"I said before, this is the Starlink STR-56 colony.

STR-56 is one of the few Starlink colonies that has not been established on a planet - STR-56 was established in the starry sky and existed with urban functions as its development direction - the empire decided to build a super city on and off the planet. There are even proposals that prove that some big shots want to build a circle of [new cities] outside the home planet. These new cities will be connected to the surface in the future and become part of the planet.

The STR-56 colony is one of the eight city centers in [New City] - and it is also the only space city center that has been built at this stage! "

It's... crazy!
It seems that the other party thinks that the problem that can be solved in a few sentences is not a big problem, so he speaks very quickly and cleanly:

“I say this to prove that this colony is very important and was almost built as one of the rear infrastructure of the [Great Expedition].

It is also to illustrate that there are really many resources here, more than you can imagine——

There are abundant resources here, and you can find any kind of item on the surface in the warehouse here, so the life of those who have resources is extremely luxurious.

So, you see, these people, after eating too much, always think of some crooked ways. They came up with such a thing and wanted to sacrifice it to an increasingly powerful evil god.

Then, these people's stupid beliefs were taken advantage of by some people with good intentions, and they established such a cult, specializing in doing some shameful things.

You must have heard just now that there are many people with transcendent status in this group of cultists, and those great professors and leaders have also fallen into their trap.

——The reason why this happened is because the cult really has two tricks——

I don’t know if you have heard of [beta-type carcinogenesis] or [beta-type cell abnormal proliferation]. "

Ogami has obviously never heard of it. Among all the information he can obtain, the information from Starlink only accounts for a small part.

The other party knew the answer from his silence and gave his own explanation:

"After the controllable nuclear fusion technology was fully deployed in the starry sky, the Empire's pioneer team sent a large number of soldiers and researchers into the [Dark Zone] to pioneer, and the strange radiation everywhere in the [Dark Zone] will cause [β type of carcinogenesis].

[Abnormal proliferation of beta cells] is different from ordinary cancer in that the cells have been completely strengthened under the strange radiation.

When the radiation value is enough to affect cell proliferation, [β-type canceration] enters the first stage.

In the first stage of proliferation, the cell structure has undergone essential changes that are different from ordinary cell proliferation. All physical attributes have been greatly enhanced - people have become a transcendent existence - people have become supermen - although there are only three A fraction of a microsecond. "
