Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 238 The Burned Past (Seventeen): Fatal BUG
Under the moon, the blue sea and the tide grow, and the soot blows into the night with the wind.

Chen Yan lay down on the floor and soon fell asleep.

Countless chaotic memories in the dream turned back and forth, and when he gradually gained vision from the countless pictures flashing in front of him, a gloomy picture appeared in front of him.

It was a corridor that went deep into darkness.

The umbrella-shaped chandelier on the top of the corridor wobbled, and the light emitted by the chandelier wobbled accordingly.

Only the place where the dim light can shine can provide Chen Yan with a poor vision.

Beyond that, it's all darkness.

A thin whisper echoed in the humid air, and the whisper seemed to come from the end of the corridor, and it seemed to be close to the ear.

Chen Yan wanted to hear what the whispering voice was saying, but when he concentrated, the voice immediately disappeared from his ears.

He walked along the corridor in a daze.

I don't know how long it has passed, how far I have walked, but I still can't get to the end.

At the end of the corridor, it seemed to be buried in endless darkness.

The consciousness in the dream was blurred, and Chen Yan only had a very simple and vague idea in his head.

'Eh...that's not right...this corridor...is only a few tens of meters away, why can't you walk to the end...'

He turned away.

The corridor behind was still pitch black, and the umbrella-shaped chandelier couldn't shine farther away, so he could only get a poor vision of less than three meters.

He was trembling all over, terrified, and resisted moving forward in his heart, but his body still moved forward involuntarily—the spirit in the dream was too vague to control the actions of consciousness.

He walked forward in fear for an unknown amount of time until he came to a half-closed hatch.

This is where the light from the umbrella dome light cannot reach.

Dim, mosaic-like red light leaked from the hatch.

'This...what the hell...mosaic?

Light...how can it become a mosaic...'

Chen Yan looked inside the half-closed hatch.

In the mosaic-like red light, a small figure was lying on the chest of an adult.

The sound of gnawing came immediately.

Chen Yan's vague consciousness sensed what the little figure was doing, and the huge panic almost woke him up, so his consciousness became a little clearer, and he gained a small part of control over himself in the dream.

As if he felt Chen Yan's gaze, while he was looking into the cabin, the small figure suddenly turned his head and met his gaze.

Then, Chen Yan saw her incredible face.

Half of her face is no longer flesh and blood, but is filled with raised pixels one by one.

Pixel blocks of different sizes and colors are "inlaid" on her face, floating regularly as her expression changes.

As the pixels floated, her entire face underwent a deformed change—the only remaining eye, half of her nose, and half of her mouth were pushed aside by the floating pixels—

Her eyes were squeezed to her forehead, her nose was to her ears, and her mouth came to the center of her face. The mouth was slightly opened, as if she wanted to say something to Chen Yan.

But no matter how hard she tried, she could only make some staccato sounds that were barely made up.

"Play..."

In the dream, Chen Yan was unconscious, and had already been frightened crazy by this bizarre scene, completely ignoring what she was talking about.

In fact, after seeing her expression clearly, Chen Yan immediately took a step back——

He took a step back, and immediately hit his back against something soft.

Immediately, a foul smell came.

Chen Yan turned around tremblingly, only to see that the thing behind it was not a human being, but a monster with a head made of countless pointed poisonous snakes.

Under the dim light of the umbrella-shaped ceiling lamp, more than a dozen poisonous snakes protruded from the pus-flowing head, and the scarlet snake Xinzi was about to lick Chen Yan's face in the next moment.

In the dream, Chen Yan was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he just stood there blankly, without even the slightest thought of resistance.

What he couldn't see was that in the cabin behind, the pixel blocks on the girl's face were beating violently, and the mouth in the center of her face was facing the snake-headed monster and opened again.

The snake-headed monster seemed to be quite afraid of her, and dozens of pointed-headed snakes shrank back. Although they were still spitting snake letters, they no longer approached Chen Yan.

Even so, Chen Yan was also terrified by the successive strangeness in the dream, and the fear became more and more intense, until it surpassed the limit that the weak consciousness in the dream could bear——

In reality, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

He suddenly sat up, cold sweat had already crawled all over his back, and the hairs on his arms were standing straight with fear.

He came back to his senses in a moment, and recognized his own cabin in front of him.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the bed—the girl was still curled up in the quilt, and the silver moonlight pouring into the cabin from the porthole illuminated her side face.

Chen Yan subconsciously thought: There are no pixels on her face.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a dream...

There was a slight sound of waves beating the bulkhead outside the cabin, and the girl's slight breathing made Chen Yan feel a little warmth under the sound. If it weren't for the sound of the engine working from the steam turbine unit in the center of the ferry, such a night would definitely be will be quiet enough.

Chen Yan felt a sense of security in her heart, lay down again, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

After he fell asleep, the girl twitched and rolled over.

Under the silver moonlight, at the base of her ear, a floating pixel block flashed away.

……

……

The next morning, when Chen Yan woke up, a breakfast was already placed in front of him.

It was sliced ​​bread with butter and a poached egg.

He looked dully at the food on the plate in front of him, and then looked blankly at the girl kneeling beside him.

The girl seemed to be frightened by his eyes, showing a little flinching, pointing at the plate, struggling, and stumbling, said:

"Breakfast... restaurant..."

Breakfast is included in the boat ticket, but because the voyage is too long, it is too troublesome for passengers to take the boat ticket to pick up the meal every time, so the management of the boat issued a notice after the passengers boarded the boat last night. People on board can go to the restaurant to receive a breakfast.

As for lunch and dinner, you have to pay for it yourself.

Chen Yan understood what the girl meant: she took the breakfast on the plate from the restaurant.

How did her skinny and frail body get to the restaurant?

Chen Yan didn't know.

Chen Yan just silently pushed the plate in front of her.

"You eat, I'm not hungry."

The girl panicked immediately, her face flushed, and she stumbled and said, "Don't... drive me away..."

Chen Yan subconsciously understood that she thought he wanted to drive her away by refusing to eat the food she brought.

He sighed: "Call you stupid, you are not stupid.

Say you're not stupid, but you can't even speak clearly. "

He took out a boiled egg from the dinner plate: "I'll eat this."

At the same time pointing to the sliced ​​bread on the dinner plate: "You eat that."
