Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1036 Those who never return
Even in an era when the explosion of science and technology is enough to change all human lifestyles, human beings still retain the ancient genes engraved in their genes - [migration]. Chen Yan has not seen such a scene for a long time.

He couldn't see the migration of animals, not because he was too busy, but because large-scale animals could no longer be seen in the city that had undergone deep industrialization. He heard that Yanan City had expanded beyond the docks. ——In order to have a deeper connection with the island chain, Yanan City started a reclamation plan a month ago. The reclaimed sea area like wasteland is now filled with high-rise buildings and continuous industrial areas.

Someone once stood on the pier of Days Island to take pictures on a clear day. With a telephoto lens, they were able to capture the "New Ocean District" of Yanan City - huge, thick, towering into the clouds, like a miracle -

"Miracle" is the word people use on the Internet to describe the Ocean New District in Yanan City, but no one has ever been able to take pictures of the first island chain from the towering buildings of the Ocean New District——

The pollution in Yanan City has reached a very terrifying level. The dense clouds above the city have almost turned blue. Even if you stand on a 50-story corner building in the lower city of Yanan City and look down, you can only see There is a sea of ​​light blue clouds, and the city itself is completely invisible.

Pollution causes people to despair, and people have to ignore this situation to a certain extent, because even if they pay attention to it, it is of no use. It is better to focus on their own work, earn two more money, and give it to their children at the dinner table. Add two pieces of chicken.

When Chen Yan returned to the company, the time had already reached 11:30 pm.

According to Chen Yan, Crow, who worked overtime until 10:30 pm, was exhausted and fell asleep in the office, while the man who looked like a missionary and another middle-aged man were always waiting for Chen Yan to come back .

Chen Yan asked her to go back and rest early, but she said that she had checked out the rented room and would live in the company from now on, so it didn't matter if she went to rest later.

Chen Yan suddenly had a headache. He had always been apologetic to her due to some persistence, and even more so now when she had given so much. He didn't know why she did so much. The sincerity coming from the synaesthesia made him feel He could never be on guard when facing her.

"The Choir actually does not reject some heretical beliefs."

Chen Yan's hesitation didn't last long. She said to Chen Yan in a voice that was too small to be captured by the brain robot's voice sensor:

"In fact, the Choir itself is made up of the beliefs of countless gods. In the past 20 years, the Choir has encouraged technological innovation while also encouraging the expansion and exploration of faith - the Grand Master believes in the Holy Light. There are other gods who believe in the Holy Light."

Chen Yan didn't know how Chen Yan knew so many things. Everyone had their own circle and their own channels for obtaining information. Chen Yan would not ask, but would only accept and filter the information.

She seemed to be telling another thing, but Chen Yan could probably guess her intention, so he listened quietly.

"The Chorus is formed by absorbing many beliefs, and it will absorb more beliefs in the future to keep the blood inside it fresh, so... that missionary, his heretical beliefs are not as dangerous as we thought."

Chen Yan was a little surprised:

"Can you see that?"

Chen Yan rolled her eyes:
"How can a missionary not even take a Bible? Isn't this blasphemy? Besides, he even changed his body and blasphemed the life praised by the Holy Light. What else could this be but a heresy?"

"As for the Red Church...the reason why such a fanatical organization emerged is because the choir is not monolithic...in fact, the internal struggle within the choir is also fierce."

Chen Yan knew this - from the fact that the grand leader did not announce his condolences, he could already get a glimpse of the current situation inside the choir.

When Chen Yan said this, she finished her explanation. Chen Yan realized that she only wanted to tell him this information and let him judge the pros and cons in communicating with them, and had no other purpose.

Thinking of this, he looked stern and said as if facing a formidable enemy:
"I won't marry you."

Chen Yan rolled her eyes again and ignored him.

Chen Yan watched Chen Yan go up to the third floor, and then came to the lounge on the first floor. He saw Psalm 13 leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and meditating. Parrett, who had hair, was sitting on a chair with his arms folded and his face Expressive.

Seeing Chen Yan come in, Psalm 13 opened his eyes, and Parrett stood up. His burly body and sharp eyes made people feel a sense of oppression.

"Am I being too cruel..."

Parrett looked at Chen Yan's expression and tapped his face with his fingers in embarrassment. His eyes immediately softened and his serious expression disappeared. At this time, he looked like an uncle next door who would give out fruits to children. .

"I need some money."

Parrett said sincerely and arrogantly:
"I not only need money, I also need an identity - I need all the qualifications to go to Starlink, and it would be better if there is continuous assistance."

Come up and talk business directly. Is this the style of pirates?

Chen Yan asked calmly:
"So, what can I get?"

Psalm 13 on the other side spoke:

"You can get the guarantee that your dreams will not be disturbed."

Chen Yan's eyelids twitched, he knew what Anzem was talking about.

"Now?"

The other party replied:

"Now that you've made a deal!"

Chen Yan pondered and said:
"You can't assume a situation and then use it as a bargaining chip."

Psalm 13 is very straightforward:
"That's right. So, after we have reached an agreement, when you feel threatened in the dream, just come to me."

Chen Yan looked at Perrit.

The latter said:
"I guarantee you will get a share of Sparrow Industries."

Chen Yan talks about business:
"I'm not interested in money, but I'm very interested in the dark zone."

Parrett was obviously aware of the other party's shrewdness. He was already prepared and said:
"I will tell you the method of [dark zone swimming] as a deposit for this transaction." Chen Yan made it clear:

"I want all the information Spyro Industries can get from the Dark Zone."

Chen Yan's huge appetite really surprised the other two people. They couldn't help but wonder what he wanted, to be an information dealer?Or simply use this information to grow your own business?Or... has a longer-term purpose?

They were more or less confused, because according to their understanding, Chen Yan was not a careerist.

"I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee."

Parrett was conducting transactions with the power he had not yet obtained. Both parties in the conversation knew that Chen Yan's investment was very risky, and Chen Yan himself would be implicated if he was not careful. Sufficient confidence.

"James Parrett is a very cruel person. He will not let me get so many benefits for nothing. Even if I succeed in the end, I will not get many benefits except Sparrow Industries itself."

Parrett was careful in his words about the man with the same surname.

"So, I can only give this guarantee - if after I get back Spyro Industries, the company still has complete backup information about the [Dark Zone], I will make a copy for you."

Chen Yan confirmed his statement:
"I accept that."

Parrett breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan said:

"So, our deal is done for now."

There is no proof for the verbal transaction, and the fulfillment of the transaction content depends entirely on the consciousness of both parties. The reason why it can be reached so easily is not only because Chen Yan had no hope for this transaction from the beginning, but also because when he was underground, , they have already experienced a successful transaction and established each other's credit on this basis.

Chen Yan explained:

"I don't know what's going on with Starlink, but Island Chain has almost eliminated cash. I will apply for a normal identity for the two of you, transfer some money to your electronic bank, and then you can decide to sign up on your own. Time to participate in the [Great Crusade].”

"The Starlink Internet and the surface Internet are independent of each other. After arriving at Starlink, if you want to contact me, you must find a special method - you have to do this yourself."

"If you find a way to contact me then, I may be able to solve some of your difficulties - on the Starlink."

"In addition, the [Dark Zone] on the Starlink is not what you think. The [Dark Zone] is very dangerous, the probability of mental disorder is high, and [Beta-type cancer] follows you everywhere..."

……

Chen Yan told the secret information about Star Chain that he had learned. The two listened carefully. Although they each had their own abilities, they knew almost nothing about Star Chain. They were about to go to Star Chain, although in their hearts I have a goal, but I don’t know what the road ahead is, what kind of difficulties I will encounter, and what kind of ups and downs I will experience.

In the next half hour, Chen Yan explained to them the status of Starlink, applied for their identities, opened online banking, helped them register on the [Great Expedition] recruitment website, and purchased some brains for them. They received daily necessities for the robots and then sent them to the recruitment office located in the W area of ​​the logistics center airport.

Although Starlink is closed and involves many secrets, it does not exclude refugees and refugees of unknown origin - it does not think that they come from the wrong way, and they do not think that it is dangerous. The two can be regarded as running in both directions.

Thanks to the powerful transmission system of the [lunar orbit matrix], flights to the moon are available every half an hour. Recruited recruits are continuously sent to the moon, and are dispatched to the Starlink after passing through the moon's transfer station. .

Most of the recruited recruits were sent to the STR-56 space city for infrastructure construction. A small number of those with special skills-mostly brain robots-were sent to other Starlink colonies and Starlink front lines to carry out [ Reclamation of the Dark Zone.

When the three of them arrived at the recruitment office, they only saw a spacecraft set up on the [lunar orbit matrix] orbit taking off. The scream of the superconducting device tearing apart space was even isolated by the thick and dense transparent wall. , and still caused tinnitus in the ears of most people in the W area at the moment of startup. Chen Yan found it very harsh, but the staff in the W area seemed to be used to it. They just shook their heads in discomfort and regarded it as nothing. occur.

Chen Yan waved goodbye to them and watched them enter the next spacecraft along the long ramp. Synaesthesia captured the uneasiness and tension that was almost overflowing in the air - those emotions were not entirely from the two brain robots, but also from the two brain robots. From other people who are about to board a plane, leave the surface and most likely never come back.

There was a family of three not far behind Chen Yan. At this time, the man was holding the child who had just reached his knees and was talking about something. He was working very hard, very gently, and very guilty, but the ignorant child was still holding his finger. , trying to dispel the inner panic, the woman standing aside was full of reluctance and helplessness. She seemed not to fully understand what kind of journey her husband was about to embark on, and the pressure of life forced her to make a decision. Such a decision.

Chen Yan is mentally too old to bear such a scene.

He turned around and walked out in a hurry, but suddenly he heard a couple arguing. The girl wanted to explain something to the boy. She was speaking in Slavic. Chen Yan couldn't understand it, but synaesthesia still made him understand clearly. The girl was trying to explain something to the boy. She signed up to go to the Star Chain to seek a future together, but the boy thought she was pregnant. Wouldn't it be better to stay on the island chain and give birth to the child before leaving?

The boy said that Starlink recruits even pregnant women, which is obviously with bad intentions. How could he go?
The girl scolded the boy for being unambitious and was obviously angry, so the boy stopped talking. No matter what she said, he never let go.

Chen Yan kept walking forward with panic, because different strong emotions kept pouring into his mind through synaesthesia. Because his body was damaged by the barren thorns, and he has not recovered until now, he could not forcibly cut off the synaesthesia, so those emotions were ignored. It appeared in his mind without reservation, impacting his spirit like a tidal wave.

He felt that a mother was saying goodbye to her children who had just graduated. They came all the way from Yanan City because they could get better treatment by joining the army in the island chain. She looked at his children with hope and said over and over again. She encouraged the child who was two heads taller than her, saying that he would definitely achieve great success in the future, as if she did not realize that the child would be far away from her and would not be able to see each other for the rest of his life.

He felt that a group of hard workers blushed in front of the registration officer because they were illiterate and couldn't even write their names on the registration form.

He felt a man sign up alone and went up the gangway. Before entering the cabin, he turned to look at the entrance of the registration office, as if expecting someone to show up. He was finally disappointed and walked into the cabin lonely.

……

——All of this appeared completely and unreservedly in Chen Yan's synesthesia. He felt the same way as everything they thought and felt.

——All of this obviously only lasted less than half a minute, but Chen Yan felt as if he had experienced 1 years.

When Chen Yan left the recruitment office, he heard the cry of a child - presumably the father had left the end of the gangway and disappeared from the child's sight.

The cry was obviously not loud, but the emotion contained in it gave Chen Yan a splitting headache and his whole body seemed to collapse.

He insisted on returning to the ship, knocked open the door of his cabin, threw himself on the bed, and fainted.
