Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 163 The Rot in the Deep of the Soul
The conversation on the boat is still going on, it seems that because the memory is not clear, some conversations can no longer be heard clearly.

She could only hear a few staccato sounds that were pieced together.

After a while, the voice from the boat became clear again—this meant that Chen Yan's memory was relatively clear.

"Son, what are you talking about?"

His mother seemed annoyed.

Xiao Chen Yan was very stubborn. Although his voice was not high and his tone was submissive, the thoughts in his words were firm.

"But I really don't remember...Mom, when did I have a younger sister? I never had a younger sister..."

His mother's voice immediately became harsh:

"What are you talking about? The one waiting for us on the shore is your sister! You say you don't know her all the time, are you worried that your parents don't care about you?! Don't we love you enough?!"

Wish was dumbfounded when he heard the growl, which was almost equivalent to scolding.

'Damn it, Chen Yan is so fucking fierce! '

She thought again.

'No...it doesn't feel right...isn't she Asian?Aren't Asians very reserved?How can there be such a tune! '

'Chen Yan must have a fucking brain problem! '

She stretched out her hand and pushed aside the flames blocking her vision above the water in front of her.

I saw that the roaring woman was wearing a neat dark blue cotton coat, a pair of rattan shoes on her feet, her hands on the oars, her back straight—everything seemed to be fine.

But when she looked up and saw Chen Yan's mother's head, she was so frightened that she almost ran away from the memory fragments of Chen Yan's world!
The woman has a human body, but bears the head of a monster. The head made of rotten vines covered with green worms is flowing with brown thick water, and some light yellow smoke is floating out of the thick water , floated to Xiao Chen Yan's body.

After being covered by this unique light yellow smoke, Xiao Chen Yan suddenly became more obedient.

"Oh, sister..."

There was fear in his bewildered voice.

"It's... sister, she's waiting for us... go back and cook early."

Wish listened to Chen Yan's trembling voice, only felt incredible.

'what happened?He is polluted? ! '

She looks at the woman.

'Is this... [rotten thing]? '

She suddenly remembered such a word.

' Those voices in the shards seem to call this kind of thing. '

She had seen this kind of thing in some world memory fragments.

There is a process for the corruption of a transcendent—from body to soul.

The rotten things are refined through certain special techniques by transcendents who have rotted to a certain stage.

'What is the rotten thing for?Hmm... I forgot, I have read so much knowledge in the world fragments, how can I remember it clearly. '

She looked at Chen Yan again.

'How could something rotten appear in his memory?
Who put this thing in his memory? '

She frowned and kept thinking.

'This fragment of world memory almost appeared after he was completely [deconstructed].

This shows that the things in the world's memory fragments and the events that happened are already stored in the depths of his soul. '

'This scene is quite blurry, but it still exists - indicating that although these memories have been almost forgotten, they still exist in his mind. '

'Changing these memories, although it won't have a direct impact on him, can subtly change some of his cognitions - an extra thought will pop up in his head - thinking that he really has a sister! '

'It's terrible! '

'Is that girl trying to change his memory... why would she do that?Why do you force yourself to be his younger sister?
By using rotten things, do you want him to rot from the soul level, thereby changing the memory that exists deep in the soul?

This is too cruel!

Why not just brainwash him?There are too many methods of brainwashing, and they are simple and direct, and there is no need to use such advanced things as rotten things.

that girl...

Is there some deep hatred with Chen Yan? '

With curious eyes, she gasped.

'hiss……

Chen Yan, how on earth did you offend him? As for letting him treat you like this?
No wonder your soul is incomplete. It is not easy for anyone who puts such a monster in his soul not to go crazy immediately. '

Thinking of this, Wish suddenly remembered something.

'and many more……'

'Last time in his dream, when he was pulled out of the ferry by the little moon monster and fell into the sea, when he was about to be eaten by the nightmare monster on the edge of the dream, the girl seemed to rush directly to save him. '

'Hey (four beeps)! '

'This is strange! '

'It's torturing the soul again, and it's risking its life to save it, what are you doing! '

Wish remembered some stories I had read in some memory fragments of the world, such as "dog-blood couples love each other and kill each other", "emperor and empress support each other and love each other", "a certain high-ranking person and his Taoist companion torture each other Tens of thousands of years"...

Wish used to be addicted to those bloody stories, in fact, she found those stories really attractive:

One is because those stories are so exciting and absurd that there is no logic;

The second reason is that those stories actually happened in a certain world, which are much more interesting than those stories compiled by novelists, false, and imbued with logic.

Chen Yan and that girl, wouldn't it be similar to this kind of relationship?

Wish thought for a while before regaining her strength.

She reiterated her thoughts again:

'If that girl simply wants to torture him, she can directly let this rotten thing torture the him in her memory—that is, the little Chen Yan in front of me now, so as to achieve the effect of distorting his memory.

But the fact is that this corrupted creature didn't do anything to him, it just used the borderline violence of [threat] to correct his memory.

This showed that she didn't intend to torture him—at least not purely. '

She recalled the conversation between Chen Yan's mother's corruption and Xiao Chen Yan.

'The rotten thing has been emphasizing [Chen Yan has a younger sister],
But Chen Yan said he did not.

I can totally understand it like this:
[Chen Yan has a younger sister] This [non-existent fact] is a [memory] to be forced on him by the corruption and that girl.

And [Chen Yan said that he has no sister], it is his will to [correct] his memory, it is his will that controls the subconscious, and resists that girl. '

After completing the argument again, the more I thought about the wish, the more reliable it became, and I nodded in satisfaction.

'So, Chen Yan doesn't have a younger sister. '
