Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

The magpie sat next to Chen Yan like a familiar person and said to Chen Yan in a whisper:

"You played too much this time and ruined yourself.

Before this riot, you were not so miserable. So many people have become your support. As long as the apocalypse doesn't come too hard, you can live a healthy life of eighteen hundred years by relying on those people... ...Even if you dismantle the parts, it will be enough for you to live for a hundred and eighty years! "

Magpie put on an expectant expression, as if she wanted to wait for Chen Yan, who was in suspended animation, to respond.

Of course, it was impossible for Chen Yan to respond to him, so he showed a very aggrieved expression after a short wait.

The child-like grievance quickly turned into anger, and this ridiculous anger did not carry any malice, but was just "pity".

"Chen Yan, you are so merciless. I have helped you so much..."

He flexed his fingers, curled his lips, and counted one by one:

"I saved Chen Yan and almost all the survivors of the bombing. I helped you build a new medical room, gave you the most advanced medical system, and even found you a doctor. Several attending physicians!”

He muttered:

"Those attending doctors used to do business with me. They were my disciples. They have personally performed thousands of surgeries. They are much better than most of the doctors in the Mechanical Hive. I was originally going to take them with me. Going to Starlink, who knew that your kid would take advantage of you..."

"It's okay if you don't even say thank you, huh..."

His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something, and he laughed.

His innocent child-like laughter echoed in the empty, pure white ward, adding a bit of pale terror to the wind-blown curtains:

"You, you can obviously live for eighteen hundred years more. Only Apocalypse can take your life, but you have to suppress those powers...

As the only strong man who completed the annihilation of the world before the apocalypse, Namo Quantum Entanglement Buddha has never designed a channel for the [return] of his power. You forcibly suppressed those powers and restored the transformed people to their original state. You even wanted to let the transformed people return to their original state. They give power back to you…

How could it be possible? That power was born to transform and corrode. This process... This evolution was personally carried out by Namo Quantum Entanglement Buddha, using the entire world as a simulator and all life as a variable, evolving and perfecting it for thousands of years. How could it be possible? Are you easily transformed? "

When he said this, there was already sadness in his tone, and he cried softly with tears in his eyes. His miserable expression didn't look like hypocrisy at all.

He cried for a long time, and suddenly remembered something. The sadness on his face disappeared, and a sneer appeared on his tear-stained face:

"You have done so many bad things and used people to kill so many people. Do you think you can give yourself a high-sounding excuse and you won't have any psychological burden?

No, Chen Yan, those people, those innocent people, those implicated in this riot, they were indeed killed by you. You are not as bright and upright as you thought. Compared with anyone else, You are a real butcher! "

The magpie huffed and laughed:

"You are a butcher, and those people are not good people. Even those rich ladies who seem harmless to humans and animals do indeed enjoy the resources that their fathers obtained through bad means.

The resources they enjoy are taken from people's hands. According to your statement, if they enjoy improper benefits, they must pay the price for the improper benefits they receive and enjoy.

I agree with you because I am not in their community of interests. "

The magpie's eyes were confused. As he said this, his beautiful blue pupils began to disperse in the lens. It looked like the mitosis of some single-celled organism. The blue pupils changed from one to two, and then The entire lens is packed from both.

"I want to help you because I saw something in the dark..."

The magpie pointed to his eyes:

"Only one of these pupils is mine.

In an accidental operation, I was infected with the blood of a certain demi-human, so my eyes mutated, and I began to see some things that I couldn't usually see. Those things made me panic and tortured me day and night, so I started looking for ways to stop seeing those things.

I soon discovered that by looking at the world through other people's eyes, I no longer saw the things that terrified me.

Why is this? "

It seems difficult for Magpie to maintain a normal mental state. When his mental state is confused, the logic of his speech is also confused.

“Everything has a why, some reasons can be answered directly, and some reasons lead to new reasons.

The situation I encountered is the second one.

There is no doubt that the demihuman blood caused my eyes to mutate, but the mutation is different from any before.

When I observe the world through these eyes, everything becomes a string of 0s and 1s.

I was panicking and didn't know what was happening. It wasn't until many years later, when computers began to become popular, that I learned that it was called a binary programming language.

How can human eyes see the things around us turned into binary programming language?

I think I am no longer a human being, at least my eyes are no longer human eyes, and this kind of evolution - such an evolution that has not been recorded in the history books, is accidental, but it is more consistent with a definition. "

Magpie's tone revealed his uncertainty:

"BUG."

"My evolution is a bug caused by an error in the operation of the world."

"It's possible... I, Magpie, all my attributes are as [Variable Set A], and all the attributes in that demihuman's blood are as [Variable Set B].

In the normal world, when [variable set B] enters [variable set A], the variables in the two sets interact, change or remain unchanged, and a new thing is produced, that is, [variable set C], This is the new magpie, which is me now.

But the current situation is different from normal. Obviously, the process of interaction between the variables between the two sets failed. I did not just express normal biological traits like normal variation.

The two variable sets were combined with each other. During the process of generating new variables, some variables encountered runtime errors after being combined.

That's... that's what's wrong with the world.

As a result, my entire field of vision became endless 0s and 1s.

Those were the most painful years of my life and I tried many things to avoid the problem, but to no avail.

In those few years, I saw more and more strange things. Those things... are what extraordinary people call [unknown knowledge], which I cannot understand at all. Many people are... I have spoken into my ears, and many people have put things in front of me that I simply cannot understand.

I quickly developed mental problems. I was even sent to a mental hospital and took a lot of pills every day...

But it doesn't help.

I'm still crazy. "

There was a slight change in his tone of voice, so much that it was hard to believe that he had descended completely into madness.

“Later, by chance, I had a conflict with a mental patient, and even more accidentally, I ate his eyes.

I still remember that night, a crow stopped outside the iron fence. The crow's blood-red eyes stared at me outside the iron fence, as if giving me some kind of...enlightenment. "

[Enlightenment], this is the only explanation that Magpie can think of.

"Or it can be said to be an epiphany, or it can be said to be something else... In short, I have gained my own enlightenment, and I have a way to fight against operational errors——

I made the other uneaten eye a part of me.    So, finally, I had normal vision again. "

He was sitting on Chen Yan's hospital bed, which was also next to the operating table, crying with exhaustion, just like he had escaped from his life many years ago.

His crying caused a breeze, and the white curtains were blown by the breeze, blocking part of the light beams shining in from the window, making the entire ward look darker.

“The normal vision didn’t last long.

The bugs in the world's operation were so strong that other people's eyes were quickly assimilated as variables. I had to keep using other people's eyes to avoid falling into a world composed of 0s and 1s. "

"Later... Later, I searched for many years while on the verge of collapse. I used my family's connections and all available means to finally solve part of the mystery——

I, Magpie, the reason why this strange bug happened to me is because my family originally had some kind of family disease that cannot be solved at the genetic level.

My elders themselves are very confused. For a living thing, what is there that even genetic technology cannot change?

In my generation - in my generation, I can finally draw a conclusion on this issue -

It’s not us that’s wrong, it’s the world. "

He explained his understanding in another way:

"The occurrence of my family disease is due to certain attributes of this family disease, which cannot run in all runtime libraries in this world!"

——This world is incomplete! "

He spoke faster and faster:

“The world was created naturally and evolved naturally, so how could it be incomplete?

We can easily extrapolate from our own reality and come to the conclusion that the world is not natural!

The world is not made naturally and therefore we are incomplete!

What is missing in the world is the logic-based runtime library, while what is missing in us is something lower than the gene pool, which is based on the natural evolution of the world! "

He growled lowly:

"What the hell is that?!"

"After investigation later, I finally got some answers. The things I was looking for pointed to one place at the same time -

BIOS! "

He held Chen Yan's hand tightly, which was so thin that it was almost dry, and said in Tianshenzhou dialect with great expectation:

"Chen Yan, we had our differences before, but that was before! I have helped you so much now, so it can be said that the merits and demerits are equal to each other, and we no longer owe each other anything!

We can still cooperate in the future!

I know that you are also a disabled person, and sooner or later you will encounter the same problems as me!

But as long as you help me enter the BIOS, I can find the complete runtime library and complete the missing parts! "

A gentle breeze blew.

Chen Yan, whose body was covered with infusion tubes, sat up from the bed.

He looked out the window with cloudy eyes:

"I'm different from you."

Magpie bites the bullet:

"No matter what, my help to you is real!"

Chen Yan turned to look at him, the murderous look in his turbid eyes that had been nurtured by countless lives made him dare not look directly:

"You're blackmailing me."

The magpie whispered:

"It's not a threat, it's a win-win situation... You must also want to know something about BIOS, right? You must want to know the truth about BIOS, because we..."

Chen Yan interrupted him with a lonely voice:

"Things are different from what you imagined..."

Magpie obviously didn't know much about BIOS. Hearing Chen Yan's ambiguous and extremely vague answer, he didn't know how to continue the persuasion for a while.

"Magpie."

Chen Yan said:

"Do I still have a chance to survive?"

The magpie answered truthfully:

"It's probably gone. Namo Quantum Entanglement Buddha's [Special Quantum Entanglement] has essentially broken away from the scope of the [simple quantum entanglement] method and has become a super virus reproduction method——

It's just a method. This method is very complicated and is not something from the world we live in. It probably comes from the BIOS. Therefore... we cannot stop or reverse the so-called [quantum entanglement] process. "

Chen Yan said:

"But I don't want to die yet...I still have some unfinished business."

There was uncontrollable anger in the magpie's voice:

"If everyone is data, you are just saving a bunch of digital symbols! It is completely meaningless!"

Chen Yan looked out the window again:

“I’m not very smart, and I’m not sure about many things, but until now, there’s only one thing I’m sure of—

The humans in the mechanical hive, the survivors, they are all living beings. "

Of course, Magpie knew where Chen Yan’s knowledge came from——

With the blessing of quantum entanglement, the power of synaesthesia was enhanced countless times. Chen Yan controlled many people and captured everything in the hearts of those people.

Not only did he know everything in the hearts of these people, including memories and emotions, he also knew everything in the hearts of the people these people touched.

Synaesthesia caused his brain to be filled with the hearts of countless people. This was the reason why he was unable to support himself at the end of the riot and was on the verge of death.

"It's unrealistic if you want the transformed person to [return] that kind of power. The world lacks such a runtime library, so you can't do such an operation."

Magpie said:

"If you want to live, there are only two ways."

"Send me to the BIOS first, let me complete the incomplete runtime library, and find the complete theory of quantum entanglement. Then you can let those who have been transformed return the power of Namo Quantum Entanglement Buddha."

"Second, you continue to use a larger range of quantum entanglement, transform more people, and use them as containers to carry your loss of control."

"And I will help you, modify your brain, deceive quantum entanglement, and make it think that you are still controlling the person being transformed. In this way, the person being transformed can regain their sanity."
