Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 12 The Prosperity of Nothingness

Chen Yan subconsciously glanced at the two knives on Ogami's back.

"There is nothing else to explain for the time being, you should be careful."

He was still a little worried, and reminded again:

"If you encounter any difficulties, I will talk about it when I come back tonight!"

But the glutinous rice fruit stopped him.

"please wait a while."

Chen Yan was taken aback, only to see Nuomi Guo take out a white thing from his spacious sleeve.

"Be sure to take this with you."

Through the dim kerosene lamp, Chen Yan saw that thing...

It was actually a grain of rice like suet jade.

Glutinous rice fruit has a very serious expression on its small face.

"It can help you recover when you are in danger."

This……

Is it something like the Christmas Eve apple that "brings good luck" after eating?
Although it's useless...but someone gave it to you as a gift, if you don't accept it, how embarrassing will he be?

Chen Yan nodded, thanked with a smile, put the grain of rice in the pocket of his coat,

Then forget about it in a blink of an eye.

He stood up, took out the leftover coffee froth from yesterday morning from the counter, chewed it twice in his mouth, and said goodbye to ogami and glutinous rice crackers.

Watching Chen Yan leave, the door of the apartment was closed with a bang.

Ogami scratched his head, exchanged glances with Glutinous Rice Fruit, and then took off his dirty coat.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, the inside of the coat was golden——

The inner lapel of Ogami's clothes was covered with finger-sized gold.

"He はいい人だ."

(He is a good man.)
Ohgami spoke without emotion.

Perhaps because he is not good at expressing, Ogami does not have too many actions and words.

He looked at the glutinous rice fruit, as if asking for the girl's opinion.

The girl's eyes were as calm as water: "The kind person is of course の 报いを得るべきだ."

(Good guys should get what they deserve.)
Ohgami picked the two largest ones from the gold and placed them on the counter where the kerosene lamp could not reach them.

Glutinous rice fruit is holding a small coin worth 20 pence in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"私たちはいい人と知り合いましたね."

(We met really nice people.)
Ogami nodded, his tone lowered.

"Come on the way, filthy blood の ㌂ い を smell い い だ こ の cho で."

(On the way here, I smell foul blood, right here in the city.)
Hearing what he said, Nuomi Guo's expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"「死なない」ですか?"

(Is it 【Undead】?)
Ohgami was noncommittal.

"手を渡して初めてわかる."

(You have to fight to know.)
Glutinous rice fruit heard what he meant.

"出かけるの?"

(Are you going out today?)
Ohgami nodded.

"このちにはもっと怪ろしいものがある. Private たちはquick battle quick decision がnecessary."

(There are scarier things in this city, and we need a quick fix.)
Glutinous rice fruit did not say anything.

The two came all the way from Ying Country to the Empire, and they have experienced too much life and death, and most of the things do not need to be communicated with language.

"オオカミピ, 気をつけて."

(Ogami, be careful on the road.)

At 5:50 before dawn, the sky has not yet dawned, and the night is still dense.

In the middle of Walker Street, the overnight snow has been trampled down by the passing crowd.

And the snow accumulated at the foot of the walls on both sides of the street can still cover the knees of adults.

There are many pedestrians on the street, they are workers on their way to work.

They didn't have enough money to take the steam bus, so they had to rely on their legs to commute.

They are employed in various factories and manufacturing plants and work more than 12 hours a day without much time for rest.

For breakfast, I can only eat black bread wrapped in old newspapers at the street stalls, just out of the oven and stained with ink - I don't even have to drink mint.

The Imperial fleet has conquered half the world.

A large amount of silk, gold and slaves were piled up in the port, and the majestic utopia like the history books rose from the ground.

But all this has nothing to do with the workers.

As a member of the workers, Chen Yan helplessly moved forward with the increasingly dense crowd, and it took a lot of effort to get on the No. 306 steam bus.

Steam bus No. 306, like other steam buses, departs from the steam bus station in the center of Yanan City and passes through:
Central Commercial Street (Departure Station)—Yanang City Coffee Roasting Workshop—Victoria National Girls’ High School—Hymn Church—William Adams Nautical Group—Yanang City Central Forest Park—Yanan City Central Forest Park (Byron Wiss Zoo Station) - High Street - Yanan City Public University (University Town Station) - Walker Street - Industrial Area (Flour Mills Station) (terminal)

Byron Weiss Zoo is actually a small part of the "Central Forest Park of Yanan City" located two blocks away from Walker Street.

For some reason, this small section was spun off and became Byron Weiss Zoo.

From Walker Street to Byron Wiss Zoo, the distance is neither long nor short.

Although there are only three stops, the distance between the platforms is not that short—there is a distance of ten kilometers.

Chen Yan once thought that in order to save the 3p ticket, he could run to work every day.

He even tried it once.

At that time, he experienced how terrible the distance of ten kilometers is,

So I never mentioned running to work again.

He got on the bus, held his breath skillfully,
Automatically block out the unique body odor of imperial people that occasionally penetrates into the nostrils.

The No. 306 bus runs across the entire Yanan City, so the identities of passengers are complicated.

There are lawyers in the upper class, and there are workers in the factories in the lower city.

Some people don't have a bathroom at home, can't take a shower every day, and can't afford deodorant.

After working every day, the smell all over the body will be pungent and unbearable——

That is the taste that belongs only to the imperial people.

Asians don't have that taste.

Chen Yan only found out after coming to the empire that the average person in the empire has a lot of body odor, which must be covered up with spices.

I was thinking wildly on the steam bus, listening to the sound of the car radio filling the whole car:

"Now broadcast an incident:
5 minutes ago, there was a tragic car accident on High Street East.

The vehicle crashed into a toy store, a family of three died, and the murderer is on the run.

Please continue to pay attention to Yanan Telegraph Agency, we will broadcast the follow-up for you as soon as possible..."

Most of the empire's newspapers and news telegraph agencies have no conscience.

Using human life cases to publicize their own media, such things are so common that the public has long been accustomed to it, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Chen Yan focused on the place "High Street".

The high street in Yanan City is a gathering place for institutions of higher learning.

Five of the top ten universities in Wardfak State are in the high street of Yanan City.

If Chen Yan wants to study animal medicine in depth, sooner or later he will go to a university on the high street for further study.

He has even chosen a school,
The school is located on the northernmost side of the high street, near the Grand Canal of Yanan City on the side of the university town.

The name of the college is Byrgenworth.
