Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 1112 The truth one

"So, Spring God."

Chen Yan used this name to call his former self.

"Tell me a story about you."

He wanted to verify some of his ideas through the experience of the Spring God.

Trapped in a spider web, with only his own self left, the poor god told his past in a low voice.

"I come from humble beginnings."

The story described by Chun Shen was completely different from Chen Yan's imagination, and it was hard to accept his terrible appearance.

"It is said that the Great Ice Age lasted for three hundred years, one hundred years of freezing, one hundred years of death, and one hundred years of recovery.

Three hundred years later, everything grew, and I was born in a valley.

In the beginning, I was just a little bud. Insects used my body as food, wild animals pooped on my head, and savages who had just emerged from the human race used me as toilet paper.

Wind, sun, rain, everything has my share.

It took me ten years to grow into a sapling, a hundred years to have strong branches, and another thousand years to finally gain consciousness.

Ten thousand years later, I still stood in the valley, isolated from the world, and like every intelligent being, I began to think about the meaning of life:

who I am? Where do I come from? Where will it go?

Ten thousand years later, I still don’t understand it.

One day ten thousand years later, a white snake suddenly appeared in my field of vision. It asked me if I wanted to see the outside world.

I didn't know anything at the time, so I just told it, I thought.

So I became who I am now - it coiled around the heart of my tree, carved it into my shape with its fangs, corroded my appearance with its venom, infected me with its body fluids, and filled my body with its smell, So much so that even if I go to the ends of the earth, I can still be found by it.

——I didn’t know this at that time.

At that time, I only knew how to be grateful.

I turned into a human form and followed her, who also had a human form, to the human world. She arranged for me to go to school, but I was not interested in the things in school at all.

She had her own job and couldn't watch over me every day, so I often skipped classes. I met a lot of people and did all the things humans can do with those people - skipping classes and surfing the Internet, selling small movie CDs in the dormitory building, Secretly filming teachers, stealing bread from vendors...

I did these things and was very happy.

Once I was accidentally caught by her, and she whipped me with a cane because I did something she hated.

I am very confused. What does what I want to do have to do with her?

She couldn't answer it all at once - you see, she also knew that she and I actually had nothing to do with each other.

She was very sad that day and even cried. She said a lot to me, such as 'I didn't expect you to be like this', 'Why are you like this', 'Besides these, you have other things. Do you want to do it?', 'Is there anything in particular you want to do'...

I don't even know what she was thinking.

The thing she asked the most was, ‘Do you have any other ideas? ’

I have no other ideas.

she left.

After she left, my life was much more leisurely than before. I could learn all the school courses immediately. .

So I wandered around all day long, interacting with various people and making friends. I quickly got to know a lot of people and gained a good reputation in my circle.

As I came into contact with more and more people, I began to come into contact with the dark side of society - I learned that there is a magical power in this world that can make people have greater power than human beings.

I wanted to get that kind of power, so I started planting seeds into people's brains - this way I obtained the memories of others and formed my huge intelligence network through their bodies.

Because of this intelligence network, I have gained unimaginable convenience - information gap is one of the most precious things in the world, much more valuable than money or power!

I lived a very extravagant and decadent life. I satisfied my curiosity and experienced everything that humans can experience!

Didn’t I become a human just to experience everything that a human can experience?

The good times didn't last long. I didn't enjoy it for a few years. The climate of the whole world suddenly changed. Within three years, the whole world suddenly became much colder than before, and the climate became very extreme.

Natural disasters have engulfed much of the world's land, forcing people to travel to mountainous areas in the north - mountains with high terrain that are not easily submerged by rising seawater.

Human beings die very quickly. Beings as weak as them have no room to resist in the face of extreme weather. Just low temperature can end their lives.

I am different, I am the heart of a ten thousand year old tree, and the severe cold cannot even invade half a millimeter under my skin.

More and more humans died, until finally there was only a small group left, and I started to panic, because if they died, I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to in this world.

So I started helping them -

I plant my seeds in their bodies and let my seeds take root and germinate in their bodies. In this way, they become my branches and my leaves, sharing my vigorous vitality with me.

It's just such a pitiful and insignificant amount of vitality, but it is regarded as a miracle by those humans!

They regard me as their god and want to dedicate everything to me, but I have no disdain for their creations!

I opened up a vast space for them under the cave, which is connected to the magma. Although the magma is not that active under the ice, at least they will not freeze to death.

Under my protection, they built cities in the magma and thrived in the cities. Although reproduction was difficult due to the harsh living environment, it was better than extinction, right?

Not to mention my blessing to them - I helped humans and allowed human women to have healthier children. They should thank me even more!

It's a pity that life goes on so monotonously, and everything seems to have returned to the past ten thousand years.

Until one day, the woman appeared again.

White Snake, she appeared in front of me inexplicably as before I was born. Even though I had fled to the abyss and lived in a cave that even insects didn't bother to live in, she still wouldn't let me go.

I was very angry and didn’t know why she had to do this. Where did I offend her?

When she saw me, she asked me if I understood anything.

Of course I don't know, I just think her whole person is inexplicable!

She looked at me very disappointed and told me that she would deprive me of my ego and superego, leaving only my id to survive in the information network I have built in this life.

She took away my body, deprived me of my will, and left me here, making me the destitute person I am now.

Before she left, she told me that many years later, someone like me would come to see me, and that would be my only chance to be freed.

she left.

I did not give up struggling. Many years later, I still tried various ways to come to the world. I tried for a full 3,639,071 years before I finally left the place she set for me. The solitary confinement room below. "

Time has actually passed for Spring God for so long.

"After the world was frozen and revived countless times, I finally waited for my opportunity - 3.63 million years later, one of my roots finally broke through the blockade of the confinement room and returned to the world.

I turned my roots into human form and finally left the cave I entered. It was snowing under the mountain at this time. Whenever I passed by, the strong vitality on my roots made the entire mountain range bloom. A group of red-haired savages saw me like this and worshiped me as a god.

I was afraid that the white snake would find my traces, so I didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before. I only let my roots spread my faith based on the territory of the red-haired savage.

Wherever I go spring flowers bloom, and the savages call me the God of Spring.

I never left the mountainous area due to fear. Unknowingly, many years passed and the red-haired savages evolved their own civilization - the Aiel people. This is the name they gave themselves.

I planted my seeds in every Aiel person's body. This time is different from before. I feel them but don't control them. I observe them but don't interfere with them. So I experienced what every Aier person has experienced. I feel the same way about everything, their birth, old age, sickness and death, their joys, anger, sorrows and joys.

I realized the greatness of human beings as life - as life itself, human beings are great existences. "

Chen Yan could sense his state of mind from his poor choice of words.

"I have become much more peaceful than I was 3.6 million years ago. I even feel satisfied. In this short companionship, I realized how narrow-minded I was before.

But it's already too late. Now I have become incomplete. I am just a spiritual monster with only my own self.

Maybe it's because I only have myself, so I can better experience human emotions.

Later, White Snake didn't come, but things got worse.

Ever since an exploration ship docked on the coast at the edge of the mountains, the Ayr people, whom I regard as my descendants and relatives, have been fascinated by so-called industrial products. They would rather trade two lambs for a toothpaste and a toothbrush. I can no longer bear to speak with an unwashed mouth.

I watched helplessly as the merchants on the ship exchanged cheap industrial products for the agricultural and animal husbandry materials they relied on for a living, but I couldn't help at all - I would not force them to do anything.

I can only help them - when they go to the southern cities and need money, I ripen their vegetables and livestock for them to exchange, and when they are poor and seriously ill, I give my life force to them. They try to cure their diseases.

But my vitality is limited, and the life I can branch out is getting less and less, until one day, my sensitivity to the roots suddenly disappears.

——The connection between my roots and me is gone.

From its last message, I learned that my roots - the roots that carry my consciousness, have gained and lost all emotions, and have lost the meaning of continuing to exist -

It gives birth to the superego, is influenced by the pure emotions of the superego, and eventually leads to self-destruction.

It went all the way south and completely disappeared from my perception. "

Chen Yan already roughly knew what happened next.

A god who wanted to die walked on the earth, his consciousness dissipated, leaving only his body, which was used by countless people, and eventually became a cult that harmed people's lives.

Chen Yan told him what the Spring God believers were doing in Yanan City.

After hearing this, he became even more painful and let out a few nervous laughs:

"After my roots left, countless new consciousnesses were connected to my life through the roots. Those consciousnesses were fresh and full of vitality. I don't know how much more powerful they were than the consciousness I had been imprisoned and tortured for 3.6 million years. times, and since then, I have become a tool for communication between them.

My life is no longer in my control and every remaining second is torture.

Please help me. "

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing no matter what Chen Yan asked.

Chen Yan looked at the Spring God who was bound in the spider web, and had a clear understanding in his heart:

‘The Spring God who is bound in a spider web is also a symbol, symbolizing that I was trapped in the past. His body was digested by the spider web, symbolizing that I was trapped in the past and couldn’t extricate myself.

The past me couldn't help myself - there was no way back, so the white snake killed the past me.

The me now is a better me, the me who was reborn after the server was iterated, the me who is more complete, and the me who has repaired the flaws that once existed in Spring God.

I have been repaired for...three and a half million years. ’

He took out a fruit knife and slashed Chun Shen's neck.

The vitality was lost along with the blood, and the Spring God gradually lost its life.

Chen Yan immediately realized that "the complete death of the Spring God" was not just an event, but also a symbol.

'It symbolizes that I killed my past self...I killed the remaining wrong parts of my past.

The me now is a more complete me. ’

With the death of the Spring God, the blue fire butterflies that represented uploading and downloading among the countless spider threads connected to his body also completely disappeared.

……

……

Half an hour ago.

STR-56 space city upper level.

Klein pulled out his right arm that had been transformed into a long knife with his spiritual power from the mutated monster's throat. He suddenly felt a pain in his chest and abdomen, and his whole body flew backwards. After smashing rows of servers, he One corner of the porthole was shattered.

In an instant, the air pressure exploded, and the other mutated monster that sneaked up on him was sucked to the broken porthole by the strong pressure. The part of the body facing the outside burst instantly, and everything inside the body was ejected from the inside of the body into the universe due to the air pressure.

Klein subconsciously looked out the porthole and saw that what was quickly freezing outside the porthole was not organs and flesh, but black strains that were densely packed like toad eggs.

Klein got a precious chance to breathe. He didn't stop. He split the head of the first mutated monster, which was as ugly as a zombie, into two with his backhand. In the next moment, he dodged to avoid the black strain splattered from the monster's body.

The black strains seemed to be alive. Even if they were separated from the body, they still maintained strong vitality. They seemed to be able to smell the breath of life and squirmed quickly towards Klein.

Klein's scalp was numb, and he knew he couldn't deal with this thing, so he ducked and ran in the opposite direction from where the strain came from.

"I got rid of that thing."

Klein spoke into the walkie-talkie next to his mouth while running through the noisy space city streets.

Ogami's nervous voice soon came from the intercom:

"Thank you, that thing is a fusion beast guarding the node. It is a hybrid creature, so it is difficult to deal with it."

Klein flew through the "busy" streets and looked at the "completely normal" pedestrians on the street. He felt cold all over his body, as if he was falling into a false hell.

"There will never be too many monsters of that magnitude. Now I'm going to the previously marked location. You can help me keep an eye on it..."

Just after he finished speaking, he froze and stood still in the busy city.

The moment he finished speaking, he was surrounded by several fusion beasts that suddenly appeared from the crowd.
