Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

"I still haven't figured out a problem.

Since I come from half of Liang Ansheng's body, am I a complete person?

Do I function as a full human being? -Is my gene pool complete?

Furthermore, do I have the ability to be a fully human being?

I did not grow freely from flesh and blood. I was a monster created by Xanthium injecting many alien genes. I am the fusion state of genes and the predecessor of flesh and blood creations in the starry sky.

I am an inferior copy of [Eternal Death].

For Xanthium, the [ultimate] of carbon-based life is [eternal death].

Therefore, Xanthium used all means to build me towards the established goal of [eternal death].

When Xanthium went to the Sankraken Tomb in the far north, he saw the so-called "truth" and everything buried under the glacier. It was from that time that he got the inspiration and everything that happened later happened.

After leaving the Great Tomb of Sankraken, his perspective on the world changed, and he made considerable preparations for this change, which lasted for several years.

Liang Ansheng is an important part of his preparation.

Liang Ansheng is a poor guy. He was targeted by Xanthium and was arranged to think that he failed to resist the temptation and became a sub-human.

From that moment on, Liang Ansheng... and my life were already doomed.

Xanthium awakened her personality in the real world and remembered a large amount of key knowledge, which was enough to control the life of people like Liang Ansheng.

What Xanthium didn't expect was that Liang Ansheng was killed by you.

He even didn't expect that after Liang Ansheng was killed, he would accept William Master's [invitation] and enter the Byron Weiss Zoo.

——Here, Xanthium’s plan encountered its first bankruptcy crisis.

I am a part of Liang Ansheng, and Liang Ansheng is a part of me. The separation is not only to conduct a training experiment, but also to have a complete will when we meet again in the future——

When I truly become the [ultimate carbon-based life] - that is, [eternal death], Liang Ansheng's return can awaken my will.

By that time, this world will have an [Eternal Death] that possesses normal human will, an [Eternal Death] that will not spread disorderly, will not swallow up all matter, will not become a disaster, and will not bring destruction to mankind.

Actually, I really don’t understand what he thinks. With a neurotic personality like my own, even if I become [Eternal Death], how can I guarantee that I won’t go crazy and take the initiative to destroy the world?

Maybe he has follow-up arrangements.

Now that he is dead, even if there is a follow-up arrangement, firstly, it is completely impossible to activate that arrangement, and secondly, I have no way of knowing what that arrangement is.

In short, after the plan changed because of you and the zoo, Xanthium quickly adjusted its plan and gave up on cultivating me into [Eternal Death].

From that time to the time when the STR-56 space city came into being, he started new plans and layouts.

It wasn't until Apocalypse appeared later and most of the space city was destroyed that he finally got the chance to bring the leader named Sang back from the dead to complete his plan.

……

From Liang Ansheng's words, I was able to know that my and his bodies in reality have been seriously infected, and there is no need to return to those mortal bodies.

Also from Liang Ansheng’s mouth, I learned another truth——

William Master once saw a further future——

At the end of eternal death, there is a world that is deeper than the real world. William Master's gaze - the gaze of the Eye of the Demihuman King, is blocked by the [Eternal Death] in the real world and cannot be truly penetrated.

I gained true freedom by denying Xanthium, and the most important step in the process of denying Xanthium is to prove that Xanthium's path is wrong——

I decided to look for a world that was deeper than the real world, to prove that humans could advance through other paths -

Also to give myself a reason to live.

Liang Ansheng had another purpose - he was still greedy, and he thought that the world William Master saw might be his destination -

Just like when he came to Yanan City from Tianshen State, he always has a beautiful yearning for the future, even if that future is far away.

From now on, we will embark on a journey to find a world that is deeper than the real world.

thank you for your help.

In return, I want to tell you one thing -

According to the information Xiangu received from Sang, Sang had made countless preparations to fight against the [Apocalypse] in the long cycle of generations, and Salommel was one of them.

In this generation, the empire has built more than one ark of salvation, Saromair.

The first Saromair entered the universe fifty years ago. At that time, the empire's technology was very backward, but the technology mastered by San and the Chorus was no different from what it is now.

They did these things secretly, disguised as miracles of the Holy Light to the outside world. One of the meanings of the existence of the Choir is this——

Transform and normalize incomprehensible things to avoid attracting the attention of the [Creation God] and to avoid the early arrival of the [Apocalypse].

After that, every few months, the Chorus will send new Saromair to the stars - through the [Wilderness], to the Dark Zone, and then to the universe through the Dark Zone.

At this point in time, if the Saromairs had not been swallowed by the stars, they might have become a fleet.

If I predict correctly, now that San is dead, the Saromair fleet may come back to avenge him and take over the only planet with life in the universe.

The most important thing is that they will definitely collect information from the universe outside the planet that has become a dark zone (you know, after the demise of civilization, their location became a dark zone, just like what happened to countless civilizations in the past That’s how it went.)

If they get the knowledge of Xanthium's creation of flesh and blood, they may restart Xanthium's plan and create another flesh and blood creation, maybe.

In short, such a powerful force cannot be blocked by any other force.

Therefore, you must be mentally prepared. Maybe one day, they will attract the power of [eternal death] again and completely engulf the world.

That's all I've said.

So, farewell to Chen Yan. 》

After scanning the entire letter at a glance, Chen Yan handed the letter to Ogami. He was not depressed by the bad news, and his tone was quite relaxed:

"Uncle San has found the meaning of his existence, which is good. I guess they have gone to the BIOS and are looking for ways to go to a deeper world in the BIOS.

——Finding a world that is more real than the real world is difficult just thinking about it. "

Ogami stared at the envelope, took a sip of hot water, and said in a dull voice:

"Everyone has their own pursuits."

Chen Yan didn't know what he thought of, and said this:

"I haven't paid attention to the deeper world for a long time, and I didn't know that the rules of time have become so disordered that they cannot be synchronized with the current world we live in.

This is a very bad sign. Perhaps the [Eternal Death] in the real world has undergone some changes. Therefore, in other deeper worlds as the spiritual world of [Eternal Death], there will be chaos in the basic rules.

What does this mean? "

He didn't even bother to look at the real world with his eyes.

“Whatever it represents, it doesn’t make sense to us.

For now, just surviving is already exhausting all my efforts. How can I still have the energy to care about those things? ” On the contrary, the matter of the Salommel fleet mentioned by the third uncle is indeed a problem.

Ogami said:

“Klein’s sword remains here for you to use.

This sword no longer requires immortal power to be activated——

After this sword cut through the creation of flesh and blood and was stained with the blood of [Eternal Death], it already had the power of [Delete]. "

Chen Yan understood what he was saying and spoke in a free and easy tone:

"Thank you, don't worry too much. I already have some ideas to deal with the worst case scenario mentioned by Miao Shuisheng."

The two have been cooperating for more than a day, and they know each other's personalities well, so Ogami stopped asking questions.

In the afternoon of that day, Ogami met Nuomiguo at the United Group Research Institute. After a brief discussion, the two decided to set off for BIOS.

"It will be our duty to cut off the eternal immortality."

Nuomiguo was still very awake and said to Chen Yan:

“Although the word [vocation] is not quite accurate, that’s pretty much it.

We will go to the real world, look for Sang’s backup body, and try to understand the truth about [Eternal Death]——

If that truth really exists. "

Chen Yan smiled and replied:

"If you meet Miao Shuisheng and Liang Ansheng then, remember to say hello to them for me."

He suppressed his smile and whispered:

"Now, please relax and close your eyes. I will send you to the BIOS."

As the Eye of the Demihuman King becomes complete, it also has the ability to transfer objects in its sight.

This ability even transcends time and space, acting on both the real world and the spiritual space of [eternal death].

After they left, Chen Yan felt empty.

Will this be the last time he meets them?

Chen Yan didn't know.

All he knew was that he didn't have much time left.

You must complete everything you must complete before the little time you have left ends.

Chen Yan returned to his cabin - Room 33 on the third floor of 3 Walker Street.

Just like that late night when he first came to Yanan City, Wish came to look for him and accidentally killed a thief. Therefore, Klein had a confrontation with him in front of No. 33 Walker Street...

It all seems so far away and so close at the same time.

Chen Yan lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

The next moment, the holographic pattern of the frozen earth appeared in front of him.

His vision went all the way north, and countless white islands flew past in his sight, and the frozen mountains and ridges passed through his eyes like white horses passing through.

Until the towering mountains began to appear, he changed his vision and plunged into the ice.

My eyes traveled under the ice, one hundred meters, two hundred meters...

Finally, his sight penetrated the ice and came to the cold water.

A school of fish larger than the body of a whale passed in front of him, and hundreds of thousands of heads that looked like eyes were all facing him. Those were sea fish called "monitors", and they could actually see him.

The watcher appeared, indicating that the tomb of Sankraken was not far away.

Chen Yan controlled his sight and rushed towards the monitor fish school. The huge fish school seemed to sense a sense of crisis and swam away, leaving a huge gap.

Chen Yan still succeeded. He entered the inside of a monitor and immediately discovered that this thing was not a pure creature.

The original fish skeleton part of its body has been replaced with pipelines similar to electronic biomass. Chen Yan is too familiar with this material. Isn't this what Z Group's previous intelligent prosthetic limb company used for brain-machine implant surgeries? Neural pipeline?

'It's an electronic creature that can reproduce! '

Low-level creatures like fish have actually reproduced after becoming electronic!

Chen Yan immediately remembered some of the dreams he had had about BIOS. In those dreams, some bionic people in BIOS who were born through devices like [Mom] were also partially electronic when they were born.

However, even in BIOS, electronic people have not achieved reproduction.

'Electronic fish have achieved reproduction, perhaps because the biological structure of fish is simple enough and does not require too much intelligence. '

Monitors do not have very high functions, and their brains are not brain machines, but some kind of electronic biomass that can generate nerve impulses.

After confirming that this kind of sea fish only has the function of "recording" and "inheritance record", Chen Yan's eyes flew towards the deep sea, followed by a huge school of monitor fish.

Not long after, ancient and huge ruins appeared in Chen Yan's field of vision.

Chen Yan saw the characteristics of countless civilizations from the stacked ruins that looked like ruins——

Bronze tripod, steam engine, bone spear, thatched house, stone hammer, mummy...

Various styles of buildings, Chinese and Western, various niche civilizations, both seen and unseen...

And some creations that only exist in fantasy——

The corpse of a five-clawed dragon, a ship floating with ghosts, a statue of a thousand-eyed god...

These are the remains of countless generations past.

Here is the Great Tomb of Sankraken.

The closer he got to the tomb of Sankraken, the stronger the feeling of "unwillingness" in Chen Yan's synaesthesia.

It's like resentment, but far deeper than resentment.

Synaesthesia told Chen Yan that perhaps it was because of these emotions that were much stronger than resentment that the Sankraken Tomb contained the remains of countless generations in the past.

Chen Yan manipulated his sight and entered the Sankraken Tomb along a robber hole that was obviously left by his predecessors.

As soon as he came in, he felt a familiar feeling. He immediately recalled that when he went to the deeper world near BIOS, he entered the tunnel with countless Ogami corpses in the [Cemetery], and everything in front of him. The feeling is the same.

He understood immediately——

'This is actually a deep world close to BIOS! '

He continued to stare at everything that existed here, and what he saw made him understand more——

'Countless civilizations in the past were not completely destroyed by [Apocalypse]. They were brought here by emotions stronger than resentment and became wreckage. '

As we go deeper into the tomb of Sankraken, the emotions we can feel synaesthetically become stronger and clearer.

It wasn't until they arrived at the first tomb that those emotions had solidified into sounds that appeared in Chen Yan's ears.
