Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 317 Knowledge is Power
While he was waiting for his wish, he was thinking about the steam bus operating company. For a moment he was shaken, but the shaken soon disappeared. He realized that he was just advancing the beginning of everything, not changing any history——

In this deja vu world, with the development of productive forces, some history is bound to happen.

He just waited at the table so bored, like an old father waiting for his daughter to come home for dinner after her evening self-study.

He didn't know that he would continue to do this for a long time until it became a habit that was difficult to change.

He fell asleep on the table drowsily in boredom, the sparks that were still shining in the toast oven and the street lights shining in from the window accompanied him to sleep.

Until a voice rang in my ear.

"Chen Yan, you just let me eat this?"

Chen Yan raised his head, with dazed eyes, as if he saw a girl sitting next to him that only reached his chest. The girl had silver hair that reached her waist, and although her face was rough, she didn't look ugly.

When he regained consciousness and looked again, he could no longer see the girl's figure.

He wiped his face with his hands, managed to wake up, and glanced at his watch, it was already early morning.

"Don't tigers eat raw meat?" He subconsciously asked.

"I'm not a tiger...although I'm also a tiger, but it's different from what you imagined."

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then got up to add firewood to the fireplace.

"what are you doing……"

Chen Yan soaked the sliced ​​beef on the table in oil, sprinkled with some simple spices and green onions, wrapped it in tin foil, put it in an iron dinner plate, and sent it to the toaster oven.

Then sit back at the table.

He was really not used to meeting Wish in this way.

"Thanks to the market these days, tinfoil is affordable, but it won't be for long."

Wish didn't speak.

"How about that network cable? Nothing wrong?"

He didn't know what to say, he just had nothing to say.

Fortunately, the wish was answered, and the embarrassing silence finally did not appear.

"That network cable disappeared, disappeared into the land."

The voice of wish was a little softer than before, as if he was not used to such face-to-face conversations.

She prefers to stand beside him and talk to him where he can't see her.

Chen Yan asked curiously, "Why did this happen?"

Wish said: "The zoo is layered. We are on the first floor, the place where the network cable goes is on the second floor, the space inside the cleaning car is on the third floor, and further down... I have never been there."

Chen Yan said: "I heard the conversation of the members of the construction team today, saying that the zoo is [a place that does not exist]. What does this mean?"

Wish did not hesitate: "I don't know either."

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes: "Is that so..."

Wish was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Although I can't define what a zoo is, I can probably describe it:

You can regard the zoo as a blank "drawing board". The director can draw on the "drawing board" with oil paint brushes, crayons, gouache, charcoal... and countless other tools.

The world in the painting is the world we see after entering the zoo.

What he paints with "special materials" as paint will become real according to his will.

There are many sheets of paper on the "drawing board", and each sheet represents a layer of world. After turning over this sheet of paper, you can see what the next layer of the world looks like. "

Chen Yan was stunned: "This... is the extraordinary ability of the director?"

The wish denied his guess: "No, William Master himself does not have such ability, on the contrary, William Master is actually a mortal, he has not even done mechanical transformation, and is purer than you. "

Chen Yan frowned: "Back then on the ferry, I clearly saw that he was already an inhuman existence..."

He came back to his senses, and then asked: "Is that the technology developed by his company?"

The wish affirmed his guess: "Some are not, some are... The William Master with a mechanical body you saw at the time was considered a very advanced new model at the time, so it looks a little more advanced, very bluffing .”

She seemed to remember something, and said:

"William Master has been suffering from an incurable family disease for a long time, and cannot bear the loss of control brought about by the awakening of the pineal gland. This is one of the reasons why he did not choose Transcendence."

Chen Yan was a little hard to accept this fact, the tall and evil image of the director in his mind had collapsed to a certain extent.

He heard the sound of "sizzling" from the toasting oven, and he felt that the heat was almost ready, and he didn't want to roast the tender beef slices, so he put on toasting gloves and took out the iron plate.

Uncovering the tin foil, the aroma was tangy, and before he could make a move, the iron plate was pulled over by the wish.

"Isn't it hot..."

It doesn't look like she's shy about the heat.

Wish did not speak, only the sound of rapid chewing appeared in front of him.

Sounds very hungry.

Chen Yan sat on the side with his chin close together, watching the tender beef in the tin foil keep decreasing, until a moment later, accompanied by a comfortable belch sound, Chen Yan made an estimate:
The food intake in the human form is about two catties of tender beef.

This appetite...is really huge.

"For the sake of this meal, let me tell you another secret."

There was excitement in her voice:

"The night before yesterday, you killed a very powerful big shot. That person was a downgraded high-ranking member of the Moon Family."

Chen Yan immediately thought of the sea of ​​bright trees and flowers behind the door, and the monster in the sea of ​​bright trees and flowers that turned into Malina.

"Why she was downgraded, I don't know.

All I know is that after she was demoted by Luna for some reason, she was hacked by a ninja, and she might die at any time.

Then, you picked it up. "

Listening to what she said, Chen Yan thought to herself that Claude Moon came rashly last night, probably to delay the time for the downgraded Moon Family member, so that she could succeed.

As for how the monster died in the end...

Chen Yan remembered that it seemed to spontaneously ignite suddenly.

He remembered that as soon as he bit her head, her body began to burn uncontrollably, and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

It's really strange, why did that thing suddenly spontaneously ignite?

Wish saw the confusion in his eyes and said:
"Do you remember what happened on the ferry back then? Do you remember... that colorless flame?"

Chen Yan never deliberately recalled those things, but now that his wish suddenly came up, he wondered why she knew what happened back then, and at the same time recalled the experience that was like a nightmare.

The past came to mind like fragments, and he remembered the scenes of the past.

He saw his body curled up on the cold deck suddenly start to burn, and watched the color of the flame gradually change until it became colorless.

The flames burned through the decks, ignited the sea, and the ferry fell into a raging fire, until the whole world was set on fire...

The memory went back forward, and he remembered the words that flashed in his mind before the flame appeared.

[This world will never be as dark as it used to be, and the future will be dialectical, that is, affirmation, negation, negation of negation, and develop in such a tortuous way. 】

[Resist, resist! 】

……

He suddenly realized that the flame was actually a materialist fire ignited by dialectics as firewood and unyielding will!
How can I have such a thing?

He realized that the flame is not only a product of dialectical concretization, but also a "creation of will" in a sense.

He understood that in this world of countless weird things, the "will" that relies on the human body exists, and can be defined as a kind of [substance], so the flame can be ignited.

He quickly realized another thing:

The reason why he was able to ignite this kind of flame was mostly because of a series of materialist knowledge such as dialectics that he had learned, which exercised his own will.

Those previous knowledge became his current strength.

An idea appeared in his mind:
Is this kind of knowledge only available to me?

If I give that knowledge to the people of this world, will they be able to use that power, create that fire?
Can they also have such power?
His eyes became brighter, and it seemed that a big explosion of thinking had occurred in his head. Many of the stalemate and confusion in the past were destroyed by this explosion, and he was able to rebuild everything on the ruins after the explosion.

Watching Chen Yan fall into silence, Wish soon became impatient.

"Do you remember?"

Wish snorted:
"You have to thank me well, because I saw everything and witnessed everything, so your memory reappeared in front of the world."

Chen Yan didn't understand this sentence, he just said the question just thought of in a daze:
"No, it was a colorless flame at the beginning, how did it become colored later?

When burning that monster of the family of the moon to death, I clearly saw that the flame was a normal flame mixed with bright yellow and red. "

Wish said: "Then who knows."

I don't know what kind of mentality it is out of. Wish sincerely refuses to tell Chen Yan the fact that "my sister sacrificed herself to reduce the colorless flame into a colored one".

But at the beginning, the scene only happened in the vision of the spirit of the universe, so Chen Yan naturally had no way of knowing.

Chen Yan frowned and thought for a moment, but still didn't understand.

"Don't think so much, anyway, you got into trouble."

"For the family of the gods, every high-ranking person is hard-earned, and each high-ranking person has different reliance to become a high-ranking person, and the path they take is also different.

You killed that woman, in essence, it is equivalent to cutting off a certain path of becoming a god of the Moon Family. "

Chen Yan repeated thoughtfully: "The road to becoming a god..."
