Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 111 The Gift of the Gods

He is sure that I have no ability to resist!
He must take my child!

Jack Baldo's next words successfully diverted her attention.

"But, Marina, don't you think this child is a bit strange..."

Marina thought of her child's origin, and immediately denied Jack Baldo's words.

"He is a gift from the gods to me! No one can take him away!"

Jack Baldo's voice came intermittently into the cabin.

"I'm worried about you, Marina, so I went to find out some information... I know that the corner girl has a unique method of contraception. As long as you don't want to, you will never get pregnant."

"Besides, you didn't pick up any customers that month. After your period left, you immediately showed signs of pregnancy."

"Marlena, this child may be a gift from God, but it may also... be a child of the devil—don't be angry! I'm just analyzing it! Very objective analysis!"

Unexpectedly by Jack Baldo, Marina's reaction was extremely calm.

"I see, Jack."

In the past nine months, she has thought over and over countless times: How did this child come to her?

Jack Baldo was right, not only did she not see any guests during the month she was pregnant with this child, she had just come on her period.

The most important thing is that in the past time, she has had several abortions due to her ignorance, and the doctor made it clear that it is impossible for her to get pregnant again.

She spent those years in a daze, ruining herself to the core, already numb and without any hope for the future.

until the child arrives.

This new little life awakened her genetically imprinted motherhood and a new love for the world—all of which happened without warning in the early morning of the pregnancy diagnosis.

Marina still remembers that day, when she rewarded herself with lemon bread and soy milk for 1 penny, she walked into the consultation room nervously, and heard the fact of pregnancy from the doctor like a dream.

Leaving the consultation room as if stepping on a cloud, she sat on the left side of the damaged alder bench in the corridor outside the gynecology clinic of the hospital, stroking her unswollen belly.

There is a little life there.

That is my child.

She was born again.

After thinking over and over countless times, Marina made up her mind:

In any case, this child is a gift from the gods.

"Marlena, maybe you can let me take a look at this child..."

Marina rejected Jack Baldo's suggestion without hesitation: "Don't think about it!"

A sigh came from outside the door.

"Okay... I'll watch you when I'm off duty, Marina, to make sure that snake man doesn't bother you... That thing doesn't seem to dare to move out during the day, and I'm going to be on shift soon, if I go During the day shift, I can protect you at night."

He hesitated and said:

"But... Recently, the city is not peaceful. Two groups of people have come to the building today. They are so-called transcendent beings. I think... They are all here to look for you."

"I've heard some bad rumors... It's a legend circulating in the market, saying that the blood of a certain corner girl has a strange healing ability."

"Marlena, was this rumor fabricated by someone out of thin air?
If not... have you ever healed someone with blood? "

Marina didn't reply, her spirit was weak enough that she didn't have the energy to recall what had happened.

Jack Baldo's voice was a bit dignified, even though he tried to avoid putting pressure on her.

"I told you once that your blood is different from normal people.

Being able to light a life-extending cigarette for me means that there is something special in your blood, something... something like [Divinity].

This is the most puzzling thing to me. When I first met you, you were obviously just an ordinary person. Why did you suddenly have [Divinity]?

I think it has something to do with the..."

Having said that, Jack Baldo seemed to realize something, and suddenly changed the subject.

"For some people, your blood is a delicacy they covet, the most precious food in the world.

Your existence has been known, but those people have not found you for the time being, you are still safe, Marina, I will protect you. "

Marina feels overwhelmed by his constant "threats."

She looked at her bulging belly and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Baby, don't be afraid, mom can take you away, mom can take you into the smoky lake..."

Jack Baldo's hearing seemed to be extremely sensitive, even though Marina's voice was like a whisper, he could still hear it clearly.

"Marlena, this is not going to work."

He whispered:

"People who leave Yanan City and enter the Smoky Lake will be cursed by the Smoky Lake. They will live on the islands and boats of the Smoky Lake all their lives. Once they go ashore, they will suffer bad luck."

Marina lowered her head, speechless.

She didn't understand why such a big Yanan City didn't have a place of her own.

Jack Baldo's voice was calm.

"Give me some time, Marina, and I will help you until you give birth to the child smoothly."

He knew that he would be misunderstood, so he didn't continue to stay outside the door. He walked along the wooden floor and finally disappeared into the shadow at the end of the corridor.

Hearing the movement outside the house, Marina stood up with difficulty, moved the dressing table to the back of the door, then locked the anti-theft window, drew the curtains, and finally couldn't support herself, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.

As Marina fell asleep, Chen Yan felt that he was repulsed by a force—the original consciousness that existed in this small body in Marina's belly had awakened.

That consciousness was not hostile to him at all, so it just gently "pushed" him out.

The moment Chen Yan's consciousness completely left that small body, on the third floor of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up suddenly and looked at the wall clock on the wall.

The time points to 4:13.

About two hours passed, which seemed to be about the same time as in that lucid dream!

Claude Moon's eager voice appeared immediately.

"You finally woke up!"

Chen Yan was very sober this time, feeling comfortable all over, as if he had experienced a sweet dream.

"Claude, what happened just now? I didn't see that girl!"

Claude Moon replied cautiously:

"I helped you enter your dream fragment, but that fragment is not a complete picture - that picture is connected to a passage - a passage leading to an unknown direction."

"I can only help you enter the dream, but I can't prevent you from entering that passage...I can only manipulate the dream to a certain extent, far from being able to do whatever I want."

"A Yan, what did you see? If you can share enough information, maybe I can help you analyze what happened to you."

Chen Yan was stunned for a while, then replied:

"I dreamed about that ship." He said in a reminiscing tone: "I dreamed about the scene before boarding the ship, which was the pier in my hometown... But the time was too short, I only walked one street, and left dream."

Claude Moon said in a positive tone:

"There's something stopping you from exploring the memory - I'm sure it's the girl in the baby blue dress!"
