Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

"I was so frightened... You may not be able to imagine the situation at that time. A... tool you made suddenly started talking. Although it had the same appearance and characteristics as you, you knew that there was nothing in its body. Not the same flesh and blood as you.

Its body is composed of biomass produced by machines and assembled by our own hands. Its face was drawn by us using the company's design software. The education it received was restored by me and my colleagues based on history. Yes, the world view it accepts was completely mastered and fabricated by Chen Yan——

With such a fake thing, she suddenly had the same look in your eyes. She suddenly became timid and asked the same question as your colleagues, female friends around you, and even your daughter.

You can't imagine the situation at that time... We were so scared. The things were obviously dead. Once we didn't provide them with power in time, they would lose their lives soon.

It's just such a machine that suddenly becomes the same as you, no different from any woman around you, as if... it has come alive. "

When Lawrence said this, the fear in his memory made him lose his voice.

Chen Yan didn't know what kind of technology could preserve the memory of a dead person to such a real degree, but it seemed that Lawrence was very involved, which must be of great help in restoring the emotions in his memory.

It wasn't until the cat lying in the blanket on his legs meowed that Lawrence opened his eyes wide as if waking up from a dream, and some of his energy returned to his eyes.

"I'm so sorry..."

He obviously adjusted his state.

“It didn’t cause much panic.

The female receptionist was forcibly recovered by us... Our wireless controller could not control her behavior, and she struggled violently, so the recovery process was a bit bloody... It was all like a nightmare.

Fortunately, the nightmare ended soon - after Chen Yan and her team of programmers conducted an investigation, they determined that the female receptionist had an abnormality - she was pregnant, and the fetus caused her nervous system to undergo unexpected changes. The changes freed her from the shackles of her spirit and restored her...

free. "

free.

When Lawrence said this word, his tone was extremely depressed, because the freedom he was talking about did not belong to him and the group he belonged to, but only belonged to a "monster" who they believed should not have it at all.

"This is something that no one could have expected, and it is a serious moral crisis.

Chen Yan was furious, fired the entire electronic biology technical team, and spent huge public relations expenses to suppress the matter.

The female receptionist also disappeared and no one knows where she went.

We were panicking...actually it was me, I was panicking, because I happened to have reviewed the female receptionist's birth process, and I knew she didn't have a uterus in her body, but how could she get pregnant without a uterus?

This... this makes me particularly scared. I am a religious student, so I understand that this situation is an evil and blasphemy in any religion. If the female receptionist is not dealt with by special means, she will give birth to the child. Maybe it will be a demon...a very evil person, or a destroyer, or...it is always the person who brings the end of the world in religious legends. "

When he said this, he felt that his whole body was about to collapse. The flame in the fireplace trembled, and the flames "dimmed" intermittently, as if something strange was about to appear from the flames.

The cat on his legs lay on his chest and kept purring, as if to soothe his spirit. He stroked his cat helplessly, and it took a long time before he regained his composure.

"This incident... ended with the female receptionist leaving.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm. The park opened again after a short period of maintenance, and Chen Yan's public relations expenses were quickly earned back.

After that, Chen Yan opened several other parks, corresponding to some eras in the ancient federation... She did a good job, so the company made more and more money.

Since then, although there have been some minor accidents in the park, there have been no major problems anymore. "

He paused here.

“But I always felt that after that, everything that seemed exactly the same as before became different.”

"After that, I worked under Chen Yan for many years - 23 years, I worked under her for 23 years, 6 months and 13 days.

I have witnessed the rise of the park, and also witnessed the decline of the park due to various external and internal reasons. Looking back now, I realize that if it had not been for that accident, the park could have operated for much longer. "

He whispered:

"That was... 23 years later, on an inconspicuous night, when I came to the monitoring room to change shifts as a night staff, a colleague suddenly told me that one of the campuses had completely lost the signal.

This is the highest-level operational accident alarm. We immediately contacted Chen Yan, but we couldn't get through her phone number, and the satellite positioning couldn't find her at all.

We had no choice but to contact the various supervisors of our department, bring weapons, and go to the park to conduct emergency evacuation of tourists.

When we arrived at the park, half of the largest city in the park had been burned to the ground, and a large number of tourists and receptionists had been killed - there was a riot!And tourists play the role of resisters in this riot!

We...can imagine the despair they experienced...

Our target at that time was not these ordinary tourists, but the high-end VIP guests of our park. They were frequent visitors to the park. They spent a lot of money and time here, and each of them had a background in a large federal company. We usually regarded them as emperors. Come on, who knew they would suddenly lose contact? !

Now they are completely gone and we have to go find them.

Finally, we found them in the sand beside a small river outside the park.

They...our VIPs, the rich people who paid a lot of money to experience life, were nailed to the sand with bamboo thorns, which penetrated their bodies and the ground. There were about 30 of them. Their penetrated bodies were arranged in a special pattern - it was a revenge ritual of the indigenous residents in the park!
They are taking revenge on us!

They know we exist!

At this moment, a team member told us that the connection between us and the base was broken.

We knew immediately that it was them - the receptionists - who had lured us here and wanted to keep us here forever!
This is no longer a problem that public relations can solve.

We were not afraid at the time because we had an assault team fully armed with thermal weapons. These people were recruited by Chen Yan from veterans of the federal army. They had been on the battlefield and could handle such a small scene.So after discussing with several of our supervisors, we made a decision - we went to find the receptionists who started the riots, took out the batteries from their spines, and then completely dissected them to see what was wrong with them!
After analyzing the map, we determined the escape direction of the receptionists. Soon, there were probably more than 100 of us entering the mountainous area in the northern part of the park.

Our engineers connected the performance equipment in the mountains, so after discussion, we induced a controllable wildfire. We used this wildfire to drive them to the seaside at the edge of the park - the ocean at the edge of the park is the planet. Even if they walk along the largest ocean, they can only walk back to the urban area of ​​​​the park.

We successfully drove them away, found them, and killed some of them.

We opened their skulls and recalled the memories in their brain-computer chips. Those memories showed that they followed a person named [Chen Yan] to start this riot, killing people and burning the city until they came here. . "

When Chen Yan heard this, he fell into a very serious self-doubt.

Wishes obviously guessed Chen Yan's situation, so she immediately asked:
"what's next?"

Lawrence took a deep breath and then said:

"We are sure that it is [Chen Yan] and not [Chen Yan] who is still out of contact until now...the two names are so similar that it is difficult for people to think that the two are not related at all.

But we have no evidence, and we still can't contact Chen Yan... We can only find their existence through the memories extracted from the receptionists.

Finally, we killed an important figure in the riot on a mountaintop, and we learned a terrifying thing from his memory——

The receptionist named [Chen Yan] has collected all the scandals and criminal evidence that have occurred in the park over the years, and wants to send these evidence to outside the park—a federal politician in the real world, the company behind that federal politician, and our company They are sworn enemies, so once that evidence is obtained, the entire park will be completely shut down, and the company will suffer a fatal blow.

We must catch the receptionist named [Chen Yan].

We accelerated our advance, triggering a large-scale mountain fire and driving them into a blind corner. [Chen Yan]'s henchmen were killed by us one by one, and we also suffered heavy losses due to the confrontation.

Fortunately, we persisted and finally captured [Chen Yan] after killing an abnormal receptionist named [Delores] next to [Chen Yan].

[Chen Yan] was far more ferocious than we could imagine. We suffered heavy injuries. Even at the end of capturing him, he bit the throat of a commando. "

When he said this, Lawrence let out a sigh of relief.

The cat on his lap seemed to sense his calming down, and curled up into a ball again, as if falling asleep.

"We thought that was the end of the matter... For us staff, the matter was indeed the end of the matter. We are not responsible for security. After this incident, we were immediately ordered by a leader from the company to sign a confidentiality agreement. , received a large sum of hush money and was not allowed to leak this matter for 1000 years.

Later, before I resigned, I heard from a colleague that that night, under the strict supervision of several commandos, Chen Yan disappeared out of thin air from the airtight mechanical prison.

Receptionists are different from normal people. Their body structure is very special. Even if there are vital signs of [death], [resurrection] can occur through special means in the park.

I don’t know where Chen Yan went, and I don’t know where Chen Yan went. What happened in the entire park involves too many aspects that are not tolerated by secular human society. Those things have nothing to do with ordinary migrant workers like us.

A long time later, I heard news about Chen Yan again, which was the news of her death.

She was found dead the day after Chen Yan disappeared, shot by a receptionist - the information I learned was just that. "

Lawrence looked towards the fireplace, fire flashing in his eyes:

"Later...I did many jobs later on, some decent and some not. None of them were as satisfying as working under Chen Yan.

I wanted to do a satisfying job, so I spent thousands of years traveling across two major areas in the universe, but I still couldn't find the job I wanted.

It was then that I realized how hard-won that job was.

One day 1000 years later, while I was stopping for tea on a starry sky bus, I suddenly met a colleague from that year who also worked in the park.

We met like old friends and talked a lot, mostly about the things we have experienced over the years——

1000 years, whether it is long or short, people's lives have remained almost the same for a long time, and there are too few topics that can be used as conversation topics with old friends.

It was also at this time that I heard a legend from this colleague - he resigned later than me. After I signed a confidentiality agreement and was forced to resign, he was still involved in the incident and could not escape.

It's just a legend - it is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the park, the pregnant female receptionist was not destroyed after being recycled. Instead, she was placed in a corner of the park and gave birth to a baby boy.

After careful calculation, the [Chen Yan Riot Incident] occurred in the 20th year after that.

Chen Yan was just 23 years old before his death.

Just a coincidence?
My colleague took a sip of wine - he had been addicted to alcohol for many years and was hopeless.

I asked him, if Chen Yan is a viviparous person, he is a living normal human being. Not to mention whether this is possible, but how can a normal human being be reborn after being killed?Chen Yan disappeared from the airtight prison!
Did he undergo omnic transformation?But when we caught him, he was a completely normal human being, not a receptionist!
Even if he considers omnic modification - he will live in the park all his life, who will give him the omnic modification?

These secrets are no longer known to anyone. "

Lawrence's words ended there.

Wishes and Chen Yan looked at Lawrence with his eyes closed, and whispered:

"Lawrence's head can only withstand such questioning. He has been dead for too long. It is not easy to maintain such brain activity. We cannot dig more things out of his head."

PS: These recent scenes pay homage to one of my favorite series, "Westworld". Although it's unfinished, the first two seasons are still legendary. I originally wanted to continue writing it and correct that damn unfinished episode. , but the space does not allow it (of course because of my own lack of ability), so I end the segment with such a plot.

I recommend "Westworld" to everyone. Although the screenwriter himself probably doesn't know how to continue the first two seasons of Fengshen (mostly because of lack of ability), the first two seasons alone are very interesting. You can just make up your mind for the ending. Well, there is no need to continue reading the third season and subsequent plots.
