Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1023: The truth is approaching: the blade that splits the fog

"Later, the experimenters thought of a way and used big data to simulate a drug use model that slows down cell proliferation. They used drugs during the increasing stage of radiation value to prolong the cell proliferation cycle of [beta-type cancer]. It has now been as long as a week. ——Once [β-type cancer] occurs, a person can become a superman within a week!
But it was of no use. After a week, people were still dying.

There are many people who suffer from the symptoms of [beta-type canceration]. Some of the researchers with extraordinary talents not only produce [beta-type canceration], but also delay the rate of [beta-type cell abnormal proliferation] in [beta-type canceration].

But even so, the person with the longest life span still only has two weeks to live. "

He changed his words.

"And that cult, oh ho, calls itself the [Spring God Secret Order]. They take advantage of 'infinitely prolonging [abnormal proliferation of beta cells]' and secretly develop believers on a large scale within the base. Their expansion speed is faster than [ β-type cancer changes much faster!”

Ogami knew that this must be an exaggeration.

"They are indeed of some use. The [abnormal proliferation of beta cells] in the people [received] by them is really prolonged indefinitely. People - most of the people in this room you see are adults. Superman!"

Will Superman be shot by a machine gun? !What a joke!
"If they hadn't devoted themselves wholeheartedly to [praying], the thermal weapons would have been completely ineffective against them!"

Do you call this scene [prayer]...

Although Ogami was surprised by the reappearance of the [Spring God Secret Order], but thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing difficult to accept——

During the long and dangerous investigation, Ogami has seen in many places the belief in the non-existent god "Spring God". The fundamental reason is that people are bound to suffer from pain and the threat of death. The image of [Spring God] stands on the opposite side of illness and death.

They - the believers of the [Spring God Secret Order], take advantage of anyone who is suffering from illness and is in a state of illness - when he is at his weakest. Even a stubborn old man who has been a tough guy all his life will fall in love with Spring God. Begging for mercy and forgiveness—and most importantly, “healing.”

But "healing" is not without side effects. If you receive the gift from the Spring God, you will have to pay corresponding tributes - after the cured person lives a healthy life for a period of time, he will naturally return his life and health to the Spring God with benefits. god.

Although he didn't know how to repay it, Ogami probably guessed that there should be a unique sacrificial channel within the [Spring God Secret Order] to sacrifice a person's health and vitality together.

Thinking of this, Ogami discovered that the development method of the Spring God Secret Order is really no different from that of cancer - first strengthen, and then destroy.

The person outside the container thought very clearly and spoke without any hesitation:
“When these people are [received] in the [Spring God Secret Order], the [Seed] of the Spring God will be planted inside their bodies, and their lives will flourish with the vigorous vitality of this [Seed].

But when this [seed] takes root, sprouts, blossoms and bears fruit, their life will be drained. "

Then, what you just obtained is the final stage of [seeds] taking root, sprouting, blooming and bearing fruit.

The other party did not even shy away from this fact:

"In short, it is a super powerful tonic pill that gathers vitality!"

"Did I make it clear enough?"

Ogami sent him a radio signal:

'Send me the key. '

The next moment, a radio signal data segment carrying binary data information was transmitted to the [Short-range Data Distribution Center] on Ogami's right arm.

The radio signal was translated by the arm into an electronic ID card with an encrypted verification code. Except for the blank portrait, the other parts were filled with a compiled detailed identity information.

"You need to write your profile picture and fingerprints into it as data, and you can leave here safely."

Ogami did as he was told, using the wireless signal captured from the air to disguise his own wireless signal, and entered the Internet of the STR-56 colony. After several successful authentications at multiple gateways on the Internet, He knew this stuff was real.

So he sent the message to the other party again:
'I need you to stand opposite the exit of the room, in the corner farthest from me. '

The man did as he was told and complained:
"Brother! Let's keep our word!"

When the man retreated to the corner, Ogami had already left the container and slashed at the man from the air.

The next moment, Ogami's figure froze in mid-air, almost losing his balance.

That mediocre sword actually absorbed his life force, causing half of the arm connected to his omnic prosthetic hand to wither!
He would not be affected by an accident of this magnitude. After taking a pill, his withered arms quickly returned to their original state.

There was a chuckle from the corner, but Ogami ignored it. The countless corpses leapt across the center of the room and disappeared at the door.

In the room, the invisible sword energy struck by the Nameless Sword at the cost of life force had just arrived in front of the man, and he saw that the man did not dodge and opened his chest - he pulled his ribs with both hands and tore himself apart. With his chest, he swallowed the sword energy into his belly with flesh and blood that expanded like a monster's mouth.

"what……"

He let out a low cry of pain and let go of his ribs, allowing the gaping hole in his chest to close.

The sword energy entered his stomach, and after he curled up in place for a moment, he slowly belched.

Then, he took out his cell phone, clicked on the address book, pulled to the column marked [Xanthium], and after a moment of fury with a ferocious look on his face, made the call.

When he spoke, he became pleasant.

"Father, I got the [flower]."

Xanthium's ever-changing voice came from the phone:

"Okay, next you have to go to the upper level of the STR-56 colony to meet a person. That person is LV7 of the Spring God Secret Order. He is a very senior [branch]. You will get the chance to meet him during the interview. LV9 permissions.

You go find him, contact him, test him, and then tell me the results. "

He replied obediently:
"Yes, father."

……

When Ogami left the room and got a pair of work clothes and a cart to hide the sword in a corner, he was confused——

There was an endless trail in front of him. Although there were people coming and going in a hurry on the trail, no one paid attention to him, but he couldn't find the direction to leave here at all.

If this place was really one-fifth the size of the imperial capital as the person just said, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to leave.

While he was advancing through the crowd at the same speed as the surrounding workers, he was searching for something similar to a map on the Internet through his omnic prosthetic hand.But there is no map at all inside STR-56, only guidance signs similar to the NAND gate and the NOR gate. Ogami is originally a road fool, and in this situation, he almost fell into despair.

When he worked hard and wandered around the STR-56 Starlink colony for three hours, things finally turned around - he was pleasantly surprised to find that a construction team had just completed the construction work and returned to the colonial engineering department. , actually has his own familiar identity information - Jack Baldo!This guy is actually here!

Ogami was thinking to herself as she headed in the direction of Jack Baldo. In fact, this is not very surprising. According to the information just obtained from the Starlink network, STR-56 is now The cutting-edge project of the Imperial Starry Sky Pioneer Team has gathered almost more than 80% of the entire Starlink workforce. As a front-line staff member, it is very normal for Jack Baldo to enter the space city part of STR-56.

Half an hour later, when Ogami stood in front of Jack Bardo wearing work clothes and pushing a tool cart, the latter was really stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing.

He was surprised at first, but he quickly suppressed the surprise - he was no longer the young boy who got into fights with people in the Yanan City factory when he disagreed.

"Good brother, why are you here..."

Jack Baldo said to Ogami after ensuring that there were no coworkers around him:
"This place is much more dangerous than you think. Every day we see various spies being exiled into the vacuum and frozen into ice sculptures..."

Ogami explained:

"Something happened. I have to leave here as soon as possible. Do you have any idea?"

Jack Baldo had long known that Ogami was a ninja, and probably knew that the job of a ninja was to spy on intelligence and sneak into assassinations, so he didn't ask any more questions and quickly got the answer:

"We are delivering a batch of ore samples. This batch of ore samples will be sent to the surface for composition testing. If you don't mind, I can help you camouflage it in the ore layer of the sample... That is a quite large batch. , and it comes from outside the dark zone, there is no radiation, it is very safe.”

At this point, Ogami had no choice, so he made a decision.

About two hours later, when this batch of about fifty cubic meters of ore samples was transported, packed, and placed in the transport cabin of the lunar orbit matrix, Ogami and his knife and sword came out of the STR-56 space city. Completely disappeared.

Another hour passed, and an ordinary Japanese swordsman appeared on the streets of the Imperial Capital. He was wearing a tattered denim suit, with two knives and a sword on his waist. Such a plain attire made the streets look like monsters and monsters. Not eye-catching at all among people.

Thanks to the empire's powerful Internet of Things, Ogami and Nuomiguo had returned to 33 Walker Street that night.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the streets of Yanan City, which looks even more run-down due to the island chain's attraction to the population, are already deserted.

As the first snowflakes of the night fell, Ogami closed the door to 33 Walker Street.

When he and Nuomi Guoru first came to this apartment, they passed through the entrance hall and entered the living room. Ogami used a gas igniter to ignite the firewood in the fireplace, and took out the sword under the growing firelight.

Nuomiguo looked at the sword body with memories in his eyes:

"After so many years, this sword still hasn't changed."

Ogami nodded and muttered:
"It seems that the sword itself has no meaning, its meaning lies in what it represents.

Wherever the immortal is, it will appear, so what exactly is it?
Until today, we have been able to give an answer - it is a [symbol] of immortality.

Symbols that only exist in the deeper world appear in this world, and we can use it as a medium or coordinate to communicate with the deeper world! "

Nuomiguo stretched out his fingers to touch the blade of the sword, then suddenly grabbed the hilt.

The next moment, transparent flames ignited on the seven sword blades.

[Symbol of Immortality] The power of immortality sealed in Nuomiguo's body is activated!

Suddenly, Ogami saw his own face in the transparent flame.

Looking around, the scene from many years ago reappeared in the transparent flames - the ground was full of falling cherry blossoms, the fairy-like white mist was spreading wantonly under the feet, and the one-armed god was waving this huge sword with seven blades. The divine weapon came towards him with thunder...

The next moment, thunder dispersed the confusion, revealing Nuomi Guo's face behind the transparent flames.

There was determination between her brows, and she held a sword that was taller than her own, slashing down vertically towards the flames!

The blade tore through the flames, tearing apart the gap between the present world and a deeper level, and a wave of corruption came with darkness.

A painful groan sounded, and Ogami turned around suddenly, only to see that half of Nuomiguo's body had withered!

"Leave me alone! The door is closing!"

The crack opened by the seven sword blades was closing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The crack that was originally two people tall was only one person tall in the blink of an eye.

Ogami no longer hesitated and plunged into the crack.

When his Kakimaru's blade was completely inserted into the crack, the last crack was closed, leaving a corner of Ogami's jeans.

Nuomi Guo was sweating coldly and took out a persimmon from his pocket. After eating the persimmon, the withered half of his body began to slowly recover.

She was pale and sweating profusely lying on the floor. After an unknown number of hours, she finally regained some strength, so she took out her cell phone with difficulty and dialed Chen Yan's number.

……

……

Half a minute ago, the first island chain, Area W, had not yet fully recovered.

"This is my idea, and it is also the strategic layout that Z Group will make in the future."

Chen Yan expressed his thoughts to the three top students across the table with sincere eyes and tone, and synaesthesia made his expression more sincere.

Koschilanfur Krapeter sat aside, looking at his classmates with starry eyes, and sighed in his heart that the speeches of synesthetes are always so passionate and persuasive - this is already the 17th person Chen Yan has convinced today. .

Chen Yan used sincerity and a serious contract to recruit the other party into his company. Although Coase's personal connections and favors were at work, it was Chen Yan's personal charm that played the most important role.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Chen Yan frowned and looked at the phone. He originally wanted to hang up, until he saw Nuomiguo's name, he realized the seriousness of the matter - if there was nothing important, Nuomiguo almost never Won't call him.

"Sorry, I'll leave for a moment and I'll be back soon."

　PS: Explanation on the setting of Ogami Luchi: For any game played by Lao Zei, the player is actually playing himself. If you are playing Sekiro, you are Ogami, but there is almost no one on the map of Sekiro. Lost - at least I am lost, so Ogami in my novel is a road fool.
