Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chen Yan finally understood the reason for the mutation in Tidanios and guessed the way to save it. He thought about everything that had happened before, and his understanding of the entire world became clearer and clearer.

When Chen Yan left the rainforest underground outside the Tiger Area, thousands of lights were still brightly lit in the Tiger Area—the former Tiger Area, now an unknown park.

Although the lights were on in the high-rise buildings in the park, there was no noise coming out. Chen Yan entered a building and saw that the doors of every household in the building were open. Everything inside the doors was brand new, but no one was awake - people All have fallen asleep.

People sleep in beds, in corridors, on the floor... people fall into dreams that cannot be awakened, dreams so long and deep that they cannot be awakened by any means.

Chen Yan understood everything that happened in front of him in an instant——

'These people are all dead people. They originally entered the wilderness after death and waited for rebirth in the next generation, but they were forcibly imprisoned here by the director through the power of [invitation].

People fell into a dream, and their bodies became the material carrier of the director's new world.

They... they're like neurons, and the whole zoo is like a giant brain.

Our world is generated based on nerve impulses within [Eternal Death];

The new world that the director wants to create is based on the nerve impulses of countless people in the zoo.

The director is right. From a certain point of view, [the wilderness] is eternal. If you bind the people who are about to enter reincarnation in the wilderness and use them as material carriers to generate a new world, it will be perfect. [Eternal Death] BUG - People in [Wilderness] will exist forever, and the new world created by the director will have no worries. '

Chen Yan thought forward.

'Everything the director does must have a reason——

He built the zoo in the wilderness, probably because he knew that the world would be repeatedly destroyed by natural disasters, and only the wilderness would exist forever. '

Chen Yan walked out of the building and walked outside the tiger area without looking back.

'Adam is right, we cannot predict how many created worlds exist.

Those worlds may have already existed when we existed. '

When Chen Yan came to the road outside the park, he first saw the tram in the zoo, and then saw the third uncle wearing a clown suit next to the tram——

Liang Ansheng is already waiting here.

He moved his eyes again and looked at the zoo hunter Wilson who fell at the feet of his third uncle, with his limbs and head severely deformed.

Chen Yan said with ridicule in his tone:

"Third uncle, why are you so out of control?"

The third uncle laughed, not caring at all about Chen Yan letting him go:

"I want to say a few words to you, but this guy is always annoying, so I just won't stop doing anything. I'll kill him once and for all."

He stepped aside, pointed at the open car door, and motioned for Chen Yan to get in the car.

Chen Yan also had something to ask him, so he got on the bus, and the two sat opposite each other. As the unique children's music of the steam era in Yharnam City sounded, the tram started deeper into the zoo.

"The principal is very busy these days."

The third uncle spoke, and what made Chen Yan curious was that part of the anxiety he no longer concealed was already hanging on his face, and he could feel it without using synaesthesia.

"Do you still remember that he collected a large number of undead souls and transformed them into animals in the zoo?

He is now playing a bigger game - he built a lighthouse in the wilderness, and the lighthouse signal can be spread through the undead - he uses each undead as a node to spread the signal, and in this way, the lighthouse signal in the zoo can be spread. Spread to far, far away places.

Wherever the lighthouse signal can radiate, the [Dark Zone] no longer exists, only the wilderness is left... This is not important. What is important is that he has iterated on the [Invitation] method, and now the people imprisoned in the zoo are no longer Animals, but people - the dead souls of people no longer need to be transformed into animals to be invited to the zoo by him - you have just seen it.

I, Wilson, and some of the agents from other parts of the zoo were once the last human staff members at the zoo. "

The third uncle stared into Chen Yan’s eyes:

"You want to find him, right? I know you have a grudge against him, and you must avenge yourself, but now you don't know his location. He is hidden very deep, and you can't find him.

But, I can take you there. "

Chen Yan looked at his third uncle:

"The fact that you still trust me now is quite weird."

The third uncle suddenly smiled:

"If you can get rid of the director, I will help you."

Chen Yan admitted that what he said was from the bottom of his heart:

"Don't you know that the world we live in has been flooded by a tsunami and then frozen, and there is almost only one city left in the world that can still operate normally.

Even if you go back, what can you do? "

When Chen Yan said this, he kept looking into his third uncle's eyes. When he was halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped and changed the subject:

"You don't want to return to our present world... Where do you want to go? BIOS?"

Third Uncle nodded, his sincerity has always been his nirvana:

"Yes, I want to go to the real world. Although that world has survived natural disasters, it has survived stably for many years. I want to survive in that world. I want... to live."

Staying alive is the greatest truth in the world, so Chen Yan did not continue to ask.

"Then, Third Uncle, please give me a ride."

Chen Yan didn't tell his third uncle about Miao Shuisheng's miserable life in the real world because he didn't know how his third uncle would come to the real world. Obviously, his third uncle already had his own ideas about this, and Chen Yan also didn't know how he would come to the real world. not interested.

The speed of the tram is getting faster and faster, and the surrounding light and shadow are mottled.

The tram traveling through the zoo is like traveling through time.

After a short wait, the tram stopped in front of a door standing alone on the water.

"Go ahead and good luck."

Chen Yan got off the car, said goodbye to his third uncle, and watched his third uncle sitting in the tram getting further and further away until he turned into a shadow, until the tram disappeared from Chen Yan's sight.

Chen Yan stepped on a thin layer of water under his feet. Although there was no support under the water, he was able to stand on the water.

Through the halo of stars in the sky above his head, he could easily see the swarms of swimming fish underwater.

He raised his head and saw first the railroad tracks under his feet, and then the stars not far away——

The end of the horizontal plane is connected to the skyline composed of stars. The halo of stars and the trails of meteors are reflected on the water, like schools of fish swimming above the bright stars in the sky.

Chen Yan stepped on the stars in the sky and came to the door.

'The door itself represents [travel]. '

He opened the door and walked in.

A warm smell of fire came from behind the door. This was a small study room with country retro decoration. Although the study room was not large, it had no ceiling - there were rows of bookshelves that could not be seen from the top, and a The ladder leading directly to the deep and invisible place at the top of the study lies quietly next to the bookshelf.

Chen Yan glanced at the stove in the center of the study and the skinny old man sitting on the couch next to the stove.

The old man has withered to the point where only two or three hairs are left on the edge of his head. His arms, which are almost as thin as pens, are placed on the old red blanket covering his body like dead objects. The words "Red Moon Starry Sky Technology Company" are vaguely visible on the blanket. . To say that it is "thin" is better to say that it has withered.

The withered old man no longer looked like a human being, but like some kind of alien creature that had lost too much blood and water. He only had the only "intact" organ left in his body, and only one of his cheeks was too thin. Eyes that appear extremely prominent.

This eye has protruded beyond the orbit, and almost four-fifths of the entire eyeball is exposed to the air. The eyeball is not a lens, but like a bright starry sky that contains everything -

His eyes were like the starry sky itself.

His other eye shrank completely into its socket and became blind.

Chen Yan straightened his clothes and sat down on the chair opposite the old man:

"Mr. William Master, the first time we met...no, it should be the second time we met."

Not the director who runs the zoo, not Master William who deceived the Asian King his entire life, not the senior engineer of the lunar orbit, not the chairman of Red Moon Starry Sky Technology Company, not the founder of Byron Weiss Zoo, not the former The white-haired old man who appeared on the ferry.

Just the original William Mast.

William Mast remained motionless in the recliner, as if he had lost his life.

Chen Yan could only sense the weak radio waves coming from the other party through synaesthesia, and distinguish the almost vague thoughts from it——

'You are still as young as you were then. '

Chen Yan asked:

"When did you remember what happened back then?"

The other party immediately responded:

'The days after I got the Eye of the Demihuman King. '

Chen Yan thought of William Mast, whom he had just met in the generation that was associated with Tidanius, and suddenly realized that the time that had passed from the last time he met him to this point in time had a profound impact on Chen Yan. For the feast, it was only a few minutes, but for William Master, countless generations had passed.

In the vicissitudes of life, things are changing, but the people in front of you seem to remain unchanged.

Only Chen Yan knew how much he had changed.

He was having a conversation with William Master to answer questions, but the purpose was not strong, just like chatting:

"Those William Masters are all you, but they are not you."

'Yes, after I obtained the Eyes of the Demihuman King, I looked around the world and collected a vast amount of unknown knowledge. The loss of control accumulated as a result of looking directly at these unknowns had an irreversible impact on me.

I had to create many clones, transfer the loss of control to them, and let them bear the loss of control on my behalf. '

Chen Yan's eyes suddenly dawned. The measures William Master had taken back then were exactly the same as the measures he was taking now.

'So you met those me, they walked in the spiritual space of [eternal death] on my behalf, and helped me do many things.

It's a pity that they have some personality problems due to losing control... This is nonsense, so don't say it. '

Chen Yan stared at William Master's eyes of the demihuman king that were like the starry sky itself:

"You have succeeded now. I would like to congratulate you. You have finally fulfilled your dream."

The other party's answer surprised him:

'No, no, we haven't succeeded yet, we still need to keep working hard. '

His explanation made Chen Yan clenched his fists and filled his heart with murderous intent:

'The nerve impulses of [Eternal Death] make up everything in this world - heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, sun, moon and creatures - all things visible or invisible to the naked eye are part of the spirit of [Eternal Death].

[All things] make up this world, and my new world is made up of [all things].

All the rules contained in [Everything] must be complete, so that my new world can have complete rules.

This means that without one speck of dust, my new world would not be complete. '

Chen Yan came to him, stretched out his fingers, and took out the Eye of the Demihuman King that had become a starry sky from his eye socket.

——This contains all the knowledge collected by William Master after he came here.

——The latter did not even resist.

'Chen Yan. '

The latter said:

'I'm old. '

Chen Yan's eyes were shocked.

Without warning, the other party used up all his strength and said his last words——

'In this age that is coming to an end, I see more...I...I see the end of the world.

I saw the demise of [Eternal Death].

——Rebirth, Chen Yan, [the demise of death], is rebirth.

I saw your rebirth.

I...my new world cannot be completed. I can get everything in heaven and on earth, but I can't get you - I can't get [Eternal Death] itself in [Eternal Death].

It wasn't until that moment that I understood that my new world... wouldn't exist.

I will leave important things to you... my independent clones, the knowledge I have, I...

My everything……'

William Mast’s spirit completely disappeared from Chen Yan’s synaesthesia. No matter how strong the synaesthesia was, it was impossible to obtain any life signals about William Mast.

Chen Yan didn't expect it to end like this.

He was silent for a moment and put the Eye of the Demihuman King from William Master into his own eye socket.

The next moment, Chen Yan woke up in the room where Osmandis was corrupted in Area D of the Mechanical Hive.

Although he woke up, he did not regain his vision - one of his eyes came from Osmandis, who had decayed and died, and the other eye came from William Master after his life had ended. The two long-separated eyes were already there. Different changes had taken place over a long period of time, and even conflicts occurred when they reunited. Countless pictures drawn by the unknown knowledge emerging from his two eyes were running through his mind, giving him a splitting headache.

'Why did I regain the Eye of the Demihuman King of Osmandis? '

Osmandis' words before his death appeared in Chen Yan's mind like lightning——

[Chen Yan, I will give you my real eyes, and you can help me take revenge, okay? 】

'It turns out... he gave me his eyes, used his last life to control them, and forcibly teleported me to the zoo... just like how he helped me come to the zoo through the eyes of the demihuman king (Chapter 742). '

'But... can I still go back? Will the zoo be ruined without William Mast? '

'I...I still want to save Tidanius...'

'I...I still want to save my wish...'

He fell to the ground in severe pain. After all, he couldn't resist the pain and fainted completely.
