Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chen Yan poured himself another glass and said something that was completely beyond Koschilanfur Klapeter's expectation.

"I don't know...Xiao Ke, I don't know what we should do next, I don't even have a very specific plan."

I only know roughly a direction with only some vague standards.

Xiaoke listened to his "simple" answer, and his mind was suddenly empty.

If you don't have a specific plan, what's the point of us... busying around following your orders?
——Xiao Ke quickly denied the question itself, because he knew that something Chen Yan mastered was the basis for everything he could achieve——

Absolute violence.

Xiaoke didn't know how Chen Yan obtained such power, where it came from, how strong it was, whether he had reached the legendary level of a superior, or whether he had even become a superior. The existence above... He does not know this knowledge because he is just an ordinary psychic synesthete. He has almost no accurate and clear understanding of the extraordinary society and the power of most extraordinary people. Stay at a very vague level.

He once thought that this kind of power was probably not what Chen Yan had more than two months ago. Many things in the past two months could be solved through this kind of absolute violence, but Chen Yan did not. In this situation, There are two possibilities -

Either this power was just obtained by Chen Yan, or Chen Yan had not used this power before due to some special reasons.

Considering the drastic changes in the mechanical hive in the past three months, the possibility of the second guess being true is slim.

Absolute violence made it possible for Chen Yan to achieve everything he wanted to do.

Chen Yan didn't have any absurd ideas, he just wanted to maintain order. Xiaoke thought this was a good result.

It's a good result, but not the best.

He can be better.

Koschilanfur Krapeter tried to guide Chen Yan towards the ideas he should have:
"But you integrated most of the departments in the former logistics center and let them continue to serve the mechanical hive."

This is obviously some kind of basic plan used as a starting point. How can we say that there is no follow-up specific plan?

Since you don’t understand, I’ll help you figure it out!

Chen Yan's expression looked dazed, and I don't know if he knew clearly in his heart:
“After the tsunami, I did some things to restore power and internet, and I met some people and learned about their plight.

I witnessed the situation of the mechanical hive at that time. After contacting many former logistics center staff, I suddenly found that I just had the resources and some abilities. I felt that it would be a pity not to do those things, so I contacted some people. , gave them a new contract, and also gave them a new commitment...

I did these things simply because I instinctively wanted to maintain the order of the mechanical hive, because I knew that there must be good social order so that this small society would not collapse and everything would not become worse. "

He repeated:

“It didn’t get any worse, I did.”

Is it just...not to make everything worse...

It can't be just that.

Xiaoke didn't give up. He didn't believe that this was all Chen Yan wanted to do:

"But you repaired the lighthouse and gave them 24-hour shifts to track signals from other lighthouses!"

Didn't you repair the lighthouse to connect to the outside world? !

You have now integrated most of the forces in the Mechanical Hive. Once you establish contact with the outside world, you will be able to establish your position in the new world as a lord, and then all your ambitions can be realized - isn't this what you have always done? Did you want it from the beginning? ! "

Chen Yan answered him:
"I built the lighthouse for one reason only:
I think people need a channel. The Internet not only allows information to flow, but also promotes fairness to a certain extent. "

Chen Yan emphasized the word "fairness".

Koschilanfur Krapet seemed to be listening to an idiot's dream.

It’s the fucking end!There's no fucking fairness!

Chen Yan didn't seem to notice Xiaoke's terrible mood at all, and said according to his own thoughts:

"I plan to use contracts - contracts to establish trust between people, and use my violence as the basis for endorsing this trust, and then use the Internet as a way to spread this trust -

I want to let the people of every Mechanical Hive know through the Internet that as long as they sign a contract or any other form of contract, this contract is recognized by the Mechanical Hive and is a violent mechanism to maintain the order of the Mechanical Hive. Endorsement. "

Xiaoke was completely speechless.

He knew that Chen Yan did the right thing, and also knew what kind of actions Chen Yan took——

Chen Yan first used certain means to exert pressure and enlist the mobile troops of the former logistics center to make Bardakrod, a towering beast, bow down. Then he communicated with the largest gangs in the mechanical hive and recruited from among them. The most skilled people come out to form patrol teams to ensure the safety inside and outside the mechanical hive.

He saw all this in his eyes and knew very well that this was no different from delimiting territory.

If we insist on making a difference, it is that he did not claim to be king or emperor. He only provided energy and technical services to the mechanical hive as a large business owner, established connections with informal organizations with human sophistication, and restrained other violence with absolute violence. The execution - he only uses this to maintain the order of the mechanical hive - is what he has always said.

Xiaoke doesn't think this is right.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used. At this time, don't care about freedom or not, human rights or not. Those things are all fucking lies!

The most important thing now is to keep as many people alive as possible - in order to achieve this goal, even if you do excessive things, there is nothing you can do!
Xiaoke is still not giving up:

"So, have you ever thought about it, if some of the big names in the empire really survive, when they return to the mechanical hive, will you hand over everything you have worked hard to build now?"

This is a sensitive question, but Xiaoke has to ask. Even if Chen Yan is roasted on the fire, there is nothing he can do.

Chen Yan didn't say anything. He didn't want the mechanical hive to return to the way it was when the empire and the logistics center ruled. Although such an era where big shots had the final say was not too bad, it was obviously not suitable for the post-apocalyptic era.

But he didn't have a longer-term thinking about the mechanical hive, so he couldn't answer this question. "I have no idea."

Still the damn answer.

Koschiranfur Krapeter still tries to lobby:
"Nothing in this world is prepared. The first emperor of the empire was forced to rebel before he came to the throne. Before ascending to the throne a few months later, he was just a farmer who had read a few books!

What insight can a farmer have?
The first generation of civil servants and generals in the empire were also composed of various William and Johnnies who were friends and relatives of the peasant emperor. They later changed their names and even changed their surnames and took the title of "Grand Duke". It was not because of them What great achievements they have created, just because they were born at the right time, fortunately did not die in the war, and happened to be born not far from the emperor, and were friends, neighbors and fellow villagers of the farmer emperor!

What is lacking in this world is never talent, and no dynasty relies on talent to survive. The operation of society only requires stability, and you have achieved it. The next thing to do is to prevent this stability from being disturbed by anyone. ——At least when the people of the empire - if those damn guys are not dead - come to the mechanical hive again, we can negotiate with them as the master of the mechanical hive, or maybe blast them out!Then the mechanical hive will be stable for a long time! "

He gave this fiery speech and soon realized that he was getting too excited.

So he calmed himself down, drank the wine in his small glass that was filled by Chen Yan in one gulp, his tongue was numb from the spicy food, and he spoke in a tongue-in-cheek tone:

"Sometimes I even think that the mechanical hive would be better off without our group of people. Before the Turings left, society was operating with ridiculously high efficiency. If it weren't for the subsequent conscription and two disasters, the machines dominated by the Turings would The hive will definitely allow human society to reach the next golden age..."

He obviously knew that such an assumption was pointless, so he stopped.

He didn't look at Chen Yan's face. He was afraid of seeing Chen Yan's depressed expression. This was not because he cared about Chen Yan's emotions, but because he couldn't accept that the ruler of the mechanical hive for a long time would be a weak one. people.

'He's not a weak man. 'Xiao Ke even brainwashed himself at this moment: 'How could a weak person negotiate with a beast like Bar Darkrod alone?How can a weak person suppress hundreds of gangs in 26 areas of the Mechanical Hive?How could a weak person... connect almost all departments of the former logistics center and support the operation of the entire mechanical hive again?He even allowed the mechanical hive to retain its normal human social form! '

He was even making excuses for Chen Yan:

'He's just not prepared. He's just too tired because he works too long - he's barely slept in the past few days, and even when he sleeps, he has nightmares because his brain is running at high speed. '

'As long as I guide patiently, and as long as the people around him continue to guide, he will definitely embark on the path he should take. '

While Koschiranfor Clapeter was brainwashing himself, Chen Yan’s call inadvertently rang in his ears:

"Xiao Ke."

Koschiranfor Clapeter turned his head and saw Chen Yan's drunken smile, which was a little shy and a little embarrassed.

He had seen such an expression on the faces of many of his students, so he understood that the name of this expression was "humility."

'A humble man of absolute violence. 'Xiao Ke is still brainwashing himself: 'Maybe this will be a good start. '

Chen Yan's voice was a little low, just like his current mood:
"Actually, when we had the meeting, I didn't understand many of the very professional words you mentioned, so when you were having a heated argument, I just sat there and listened, feeling your emotions with synaesthesia. , I use synaesthesia to perceive what you want to express... Although it is very vague, I roughly know what you want to express."

He is very embarrassed.

Koschilanfur Krapeter didn't know what to say.

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

Xiaoke held back this answer for a long time, and then he was immediately relieved.

Yes, it's not important. On most issues, Chen Yan's attitude is not important, because most industries must operate in accordance with objective rules. Once human interference occurs, problems will arise. From this aspect, Chen Yan Yan Yan's "ignoring" attitude is actually correct.

Chen Yan felt the Synesthesia Department's recognition of him and sighed, "It's hard for you." Then he looked at the door of the operating room in front of him with unfocused eyes and raised his wine glass:

"There are a lot of things I can't figure out."

The green light above the operating room door flashes slowly, which means that the sterile environment in the operating room is well maintained and the oxygen concentration is appropriate, so non-medical staff cannot enter it.

Chen Yan leaned against the wall outside the operating room door, lowered his head, poured the last drop of wine from the bottle into his mouth, then wiped his lips and said:
"An old man once entrusted me with something... well, actually it was forced - I was forced to go to the island chain to find something that 'if you see it, you will know what it is'.

But I haven't found it yet... Even if I don't know what the old man wants, I may not have a chance to communicate with him. The apocalypse has arrived. Under the apocalypse... all living beings are equal, and he may be gone. "

The huge empire that was so vast that it occupied the earth, the sky and the universe was overturned in one fell swoop. Human beings with such fragile lives could not fight against the apocalypse. Even though the old man had supreme power, his life was ordinary. Unique——

In the face of death, all living beings are equal.

"Maybe he didn't mean it in the first place."

Kosciranfo Klapeter says:
“Once a sentence seems particularly strange on the surface, it probably doesn’t mean what it seems.”

Chen Yan felt relieved after listening to his explanation.

Xiaoke is still talking:

"Maybe, he doesn't have any special meaning, he just wants to find an excuse for you to go to the island chain."

Chen Yan was confused:
"Why? I killed his son back then."

Xiaoke couldn't help but choked on his saliva. He coughed hard for a few times before he regained his composure and said with a complicated expression:

"You're talking about William Adams..."

Although Xiao Ke did not conduct a detailed background investigation on Chen Yan, he roughly knew what Chen Yan had experienced in Yanan City. At that time, Chen Yan's shooting of Leonard Adams caused a sensation. As a man with a lot of free time, As a student, it is really difficult to know this.

Xiao Ke slowed down for a moment, and then said in a tone that only comes after careful consideration:
"A person like that always has some thoughts beyond ordinary people's vision. I think our speculation about him is completely stupid and unnecessary."

Chen Yan raised the wine cup again, but the wine had been drunk. He put down the wine cup a little lonely and said:

"There are a lot of things like this that bother me and can't be solved no matter what."
