Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 322 The Brass Pipe in the Refrigerator
The surrounding temperature continued to drop, and what was worse, Chen Yan couldn't feel his legs at all.

He fell sideways on the ground, looked down at his legs, and saw that the coarse trousers had been frozen hard, and a thick layer of frost had condensed on the trouser legs at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fleshy bones that make up the entire passage in the refrigerator squeezed towards him, and those things seemed to be alive, because Chen Yan even saw the blood flowing in the frozen fleshy bones.

It is not accurate to say "flow", more precisely, it is "creep"——

There seemed to be countless long worms wriggling on the fleshy bones. As the speed of those worms squirmed faster, the fleshy bones squeezed towards him even faster.

If you don't want to escape from here, even if you don't freeze to death here, you will be squeezed to death here by these fleshy bones!
Chen Yan looked at the bones that were connected into one piece and sped up, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind:
Since these things are alive, will they be affected by the sacrificial knife?
He was at the end of his rope now, and had no other choice, so he might as well take a chance, maybe he could gain a chance of survival.

He took out the sacrificial knife and stabbed at the passage made of flesh and bones under his body.

The sacrificial knife without even a blade easily pierced the frozen fleshy bone, and as the blade completely sank into it, the entire passageway twitched violently.

It felt like being stuck in some creature's body, triggering a pain response.

Taking the sacrificial knife as the starting point, Chen Yan saw the gap under him getting bigger and bigger, and the other end of the gap was a scene he had never seen before:

The huge dark space is filled with all kinds of pipes, most of which are made of brass.

Some of the brass that made up the pipes looked new, as if it had been waxed, and even in dim light the surface shone brightly.

Most of the brass that makes up the pipes looks old and tarnished with a fair amount of green patina showing up.

And a very small part—Chen Yan saw a few tattered pieces in the corner, like abandoned brass pipes, covered with a lot of green and brick red patina, which looked extremely ugly.

On these heavily rusted brass pipes, holes that were broken from the inside to the outside can be clearly seen - it seems that something once broke the brass pipes from the inside and drilled out.

These pipes are big and small, the big ones almost cross the entire dark space, and the small ones are only the size of the water pipes in the human bathroom.

There are countless pipes, large and small, intertwined in a huge space, like overlapping stairs, and it is impossible to see how many layers there are at a glance.

Chen Yan couldn't see the ground of the huge dark space through the gap, but only saw that he was facing one of the largest brass pipes in the entire space.

The upper surface of the brass pipe is less than two meters away from him!

He felt the hot and humid breath from the gap, gritted his teeth, supported his body with his forearm, and jumped in the direction of the brass pipe outside the gap.

After about half a second of weightlessness, he slammed heavily on the not-so-cold brass pipe.

The pain made him tremble, and his consciousness, which was slightly frozen due to the cold, was fully awake.

The warmth in the pipe was transmitted to him along the brass, warming his clothes for a moment and dispelling the severe cold covering his whole body.

Chen Yan lay on the brass pipe, and while recovering his body functions, he also saw the farther distance of the dim space——

Brass pipes of different sizes can be seen within sight. These pipes are layered on top of each other in a huge space that seems to have no end.

I don't know where these pipes came from and where they lead.

Chen Yan looked at the layers of brass pipes in the space and felt an inexplicable sense of dizziness.

The moment the dizziness appeared, he lost his sense of direction, and he couldn't even feel the gravity. It felt as if he was going to fly in the next second.

This absurd feeling lasted until the voice of wish appeared in my ears.

'Where have you been! '

Chen Yan tried to respond to her flustered voice.

"I...I don't know where I am now...how did you find me?"

The voice of wish is obviously less panicked:
'I have your coordinates... you're not in the aisle of the refrigerator now, are you when I say this?I can no longer sense your breath from the refrigerator. '

He looked at the endless brass pipes in front of him, and briefly narrated what happened just now, together with the characteristics of this place, to Wish.

'Is that so...'

After listening to Wish, he said slowly:
'You should be entering a deeper world. '

'It's really... Interesting, does the passage in the refrigerator lead to a deeper world... From this point of view, the position you poked open with the sacrificial knife is not suitable. '

'If you go a little further and cut the frozen passage with the sacrificial knife, you may be able to appear at the beginning of the brass pipe.

There should be the other end of the space in the refrigerator, the place to change the meat for the refrigerator. '

Chen Yan felt that the pain in his leg had eased a little. He tried to stand up, looked at the darkness at the end of the brass pipe, and continued to try to communicate the consciousness of desire:

"What are these pipes used for?"

Wish did not answer, but said in a warning tone:
'You need to temper your curiosity.

I have told you before that the transcendent with the ability to "see" is the easiest to lose control, especially when your curiosity is inflated, the spiritual vision will be activated, and you will see things you shouldn't see. '

Chen Yan retorted:
"But you also said that if you don't train your intracranial eyes, you will never be able to master the extraordinary ability of [seeing].

Then, I have to face those [unknown knowledge]. "

Chen Yan stared at the brass pipe that could not be seen.

"I believe I have the courage to look straight into the unknown."

After a minute of silence, the voice of wish appeared again.

'This space...a space that does not exist in [this world]. According to your description, although it is a deeper world, it is likely to be man-made. '

Chen Yan nodded and thoughtfully said:

"Except for the brass pipes with obvious artificial traces, there is nothing else here, but it is in line with some people's industrial design concepts... Maybe it is really artificial!"

Chen Yan thought about it again, and said in a deep voice:
"I felt a strange smell, from the aisle in the refrigerator, I felt that everything was starting to feel unreal.

I think that I should have activated my spiritual vision unconsciously. "

"So, whether it's these brass pipes or the frozen meat and bone tunnel before, they should all be things in the spirit vision——

It is something that is deeper in the world and does not exist in [reality]. "

"Even if so many pipelines are manufactured in the human world, it will cost an unimaginable price."

He took another serious look at the endless brass pipes.

"In a sense, it's simply impossible for humans to make something like this."

"So, these things... the pipes I saw, are they not pipes?
Are these conduits the way something unfolds before me?

These channels... do they represent some kind of [unknown knowledge]? "

Wish immediately answered his doubts.

'You're smarter than I thought...'

There was disappointment in her tone.

'Let me put it this way. '

'These pipes appear in the form of [pipes] in your vision, but in fact, they are not pipes in essence.

These pipes represent something.

Those things have properties very similar to pipes.

So, when you see those things, what you see is what the pipeline looks like. '

Chen Yan's heart beat excitedly:

"Because my spiritual vision is not strong enough, I can't see the real appearance of these pipes at a glance, so I can only see [brass pipes]."

Wish replied:

'Yes. '

Chen Yan asked again:

"Can you see these things through my eyes?
I have seen some wonderful images through your eyes. "

There is doubt in the voice of wish:

'Actually, I have always felt very strange about this matter, how did you do it in the first place?
I know it must be because of that grain of rice, but what exactly is that grain of rice?
Where did you get that thing? '

Chen Yan was noncommittal and fooled:

"I don't know what that grain of rice is... Now, if I want to know what these brass pipes represent, I can only look at what is in the pipe."

Wish immediately raised his voice:
'I advise you not to die, the things in the pipeline are completely unknown, once you see something you shouldn't see, I have no ability to save you back! '

Chen Yan responded immediately:

"I can't get out of here in the normal way without looking at those brass pipes, don't you think?"

Wish acquiesced to this fact in silence.

Chen Yan walked forward along the brass pipe, and arrived at the corner of a small pipe after a while.

The small pipe was about the same thickness as an ordinary water pipe, and it was exactly one person's height away from the large pipe under Chen Yan's feet. There was a broken hole in it, and he could see what was in the hole just by standing on tiptoe.

He didn't hesitate for too long, then concentrated his mind and looked into the small broken hole on the small brass pipe.

At first, there was only darkness in the hole, but when his heart became anxious and his mind became more and more concentrated, a dim light began to emerge from the darkness, and at the same time, inexplicable whispers appeared in his ears.

Chen Yan concentrated even more, and finally after a few breaths, he heard the intermittent and clear fragments of the raving.

"The primary election stage of the general election has come to an end. The 13 Conservative Party MPs elected in the Yanan constituency have entered the parliament, and now it is time to announce the bill."

whose voice is this?

How could this person's voice appear in the pipe?

Could it be... Does this pipeline lead all the way to the outside of the zoo? !
