Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 146 Immortals, Immortal Diseases, and the Last Era of Dying Lights
When Chen Yan came to the kitchen, he saw Ogami lifting his face covered with fried chicken pieces from the pile of fried chicken bones.

Ohgami saw Jack Baldo looking at the fried chicken in front of him.

"I sense danger." Ohgami said seriously.

He pushed the last piece of unopened fried chicken to the other side of the table and gathered the fried chicken in front of him.

"Presumably this fried chicken is prepared for you." Ogami said seriously, "One serving per person."

Jack Baldo turned his head and glanced at Chen Yan, then at Ogami, and finally set his eyes on Nuomi Guo.

"Mr. Chen, you are really...unexpected..."

Jack Baldo whispered in Chen Yan's ear, "That legendary murderer was actually hidden by you!"

Chen Yan's nose was crooked with anger: "Can you whisper louder? Why don't you shout into his ear? Are you afraid of being heard by him?"

Jack Baldo said seriously: "No, no matter how loud the voice is, it will be heard by people outside."

He sat down at the dining table familiarly, opposite to Ogami, picked up the glass of gin from Chen Yan, and signaled to Ogami: "Great warrior! No matter what your purpose is, I should pay tribute to you! "

Ohgami frowned, "What are you talking about?"

There was doubt in Jack Baldo's voice: "Don't you know? Those people are looking for you crazy! Even an outsider like me, an undead who is about to be burned to ashes, knows what you look like!"

He gestured to Ohgami's appearance with his hands: "Over 30 years old, Asian, with many scars on his face, one hand is a bone prosthetic hand, and his whole body exudes a dangerous atmosphere-I swear to the sun, Even a six-year-old child can recognize you at a glance!"

Chen Yan sat back at his seat on the dining table. He listened to Jack Baldo's words and wondered in his heart. If it was true as Jack Baldo said, why did Ogami run rampant in the market these two days without attracting any attention? Is it revenge for those extraordinary people who were injured back then?
As if seeing Chen Yan's question, Ogami answered: "I know some ways to change my appearance, and I can also sense danger in advance, so as to avoid some people's prying eyes."

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing that the guy was about to speak again, Chen Yan coughed exaggeratedly twice, and grabbed the conversation: "Speaking of which, what's the matter with you? How did you become Johnny McGowan's legacy?"

Jack Baldo spread his hands: "When I first came to Yanan City, I didn't know where to make money. I could only fight black boxing. I accidentally lost and was thrown into the dog cage of the underground boxing ring. I was almost thrown into the sewer. I was killed by a zombie dog raised, and it was Mr. Murgwin who saved me."

He said in a natural tone: "He saved my life, and my life is his."

Chen Yan frowned and said, "What kind of bullshit is this?"

Jack Baldo popped a piece of fried chicken into his mouth: "Mr. Mergowyn reacted exactly like you did."

He swallowed the fried chicken bone-in, and said:

"No matter how you react, I have already made a decision... Anyway, my time is running out. After the embers burn out, I don't know how long it will take to wake up next time. Since Mr. Mogwen entrusted me to you, It means that at least you are not a bad person."

He raised his glass to Chen Yan and drank the gin in one gulp:

"This short life, I leave it to you!"

Chen Yan could hardly understand what he was saying.

But the glutinous rice fruit suddenly spoke.

"He is undead."

Jack Baldo didn't refute what she said next, just kept eating fried chicken.

"The undead bear the curse called [Undead], and they must feed on the soul in order to continue their life."

Listening to her words, Chen Yan suddenly remembered what was described in Johnny McGowan's video tape.

Johnny Mergowyn said in the tape that he wanted to eat brains, but he wasn't interested in the brains—he was interested in "something" in them.

Now hearing what Nuomi Guo said, Chen Yan understood that what Johnny Mogowen was interested in, who was gradually transforming into an undead form, might be the soul that existed in his brain.

When Nuomi Guo said these words, distant memories appeared in his eyes.

“[The Curse of Immortality] has no caster, and it only randomly appears on everyone in the era when the light is dying—because the symptoms are obvious and can be cured to a certain extent with medicine, so [The Curse of Immortality], also known as For 【Immortal Disease】."

Chen Yan was taken aback: "Appeared randomly? Isn't that the same as the [Veterinosis] in Yanan City thousands of years ago?"

Glutinous Rice Fruit has obviously studied this, she nodded vigorously:
"Yes, this 'random appearance' is the same way.

But its core is completely different——

[The Curse of Immortality] The soul that was originally hidden in the human body will automatically appear from the soul when the light is about to go out. "

Chen Yan thought about it: "Everyone has it?"

Nuomi Guo said seriously: "Yes, everyone has it, but the activation is random."

So Johnny Mergowynn is really unlucky...

The wording of glutinous rice fruit is still cautious:

"Although [The Curse of Immortality] exists in the soul of a person, everyone may become an undead person, but in fact, this era belongs to the era of light, and the probability of the undead person appearing is particularly low——

For example, Mr. Johnny Mogowan, whom Yanjun met before, was really too unlucky. "

She glanced at Jack Baldo: "If it wasn't for the unlucky illness that caused him to suffer from the undead disease..."

She cautiously said: "Then, it is because it itself has an immortal disease—an immortal disease brought from the last era when the light was about to go out."

Jack Baldo's big pale golden eyes responded to the gazes of the other three with pure eyes: "I have already forgotten! I don't know anything!"

Just as Chen Yan wanted to complain about his perfunctory, Nuomi Guo explained:
"When the undead disease is very deep, people will lose consciousness and become living corpses—if they stay in the state of living corpses for long enough, they will lose their memory—

So I believe what he said, he may really have lost his memory because of it. "

Chen Yan looked at Jack Baldo with complicated eyes.

This guy... is from the last era of [The Light Will Die]?

How come I've never heard of this era...

Chen Yan was quite curious about this, because in the history of the empire, there was no record of any information about the previous era.

Glutinous rice fruit went on to say: "And [Last Transformation] originates from human greed——

Human beings covet the power of the gods, and want to use the blood of the gods to make themselves [evolve], but they don't know that the human body can't bear the blood of the gods...

They forcibly injected people with the blood of the gods, which they called "blood therapy".

Human beings got the blood of the gods that did not belong to them, so [Last Transformation] happened. "
