Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 334 New Reason for Leave
Wish still did not show her figure in front of Chen Yan.

'Ahem...'

The voice of wishing has quieted down a bit, and it sounds much more normal than before.

'I mean...what's she doing? '

Her pale words could not conceal the hostility in her tone.

Chen Yan said truthfully: "Her name is Messiah, and she is Marina's child."

After a brief silence, Wish said: "No... I can tell at a glance that she is not human!" '

Chen Yan almost couldn't hold back because of this sentence, and said angrily: "You must have read my memory..."

Wish then said: "Humans are not like this. She is a carbon-based creature, yes, but her consciousness is no longer human consciousness. She has a brain capacity of at least one hundred libraries in Yanan City, and her brain nerves are more developed than ordinary people." many...'

The vision of desire is different from that of ordinary transcendents. From her description, Chen Yan roughly knows what Messiah's head is like now.

'It stands to reason that she still has two things in her head. '

The tone of desire is firm.

'I remember last time in the [Dragon Path to Rebirth] made by that bone dragon, when the child was first born, there were three colors in his eyes... Liang Ansheng was not counted because he was already dead. '

'A cerulean blue for the Aiur, a metallic ice blue, a strange crimson. '

'After she was born, Azure's consciousness became the master of her body, but Ice Blue and Scarlet didn't stop either, they... were developing her brain. '

’ Or maybe they did something else that ended up developing her brain. '

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"Will she be different because of it?"

Wish answered bluntly:

'Absolutely not, because they don't want her to be the same as them. It's best for her to be like this now. Although she knows something, she has a serious language barrier and can't even speak. '

Chen Yan said thoughtfully:

"language disability……"

wish said:

There is a saying in Asian slang that Huiji will be hurt, which is her current situation. '

'They developed her brain and even modified her body in preparation for their takeover.

But her consciousness has just been born for two days, even if they have grown during the transformation of her body, that growth is still limited.

Her consciousness is not enough to bear the knowledge of their gods, so there is a language barrier...

Consciousness is very weak, but it carries a lot of things-know too much, if you can't bear it, you will be stupid.

In fact, she is already very good.

I mean, it's pretty good that she hasn't been turned into a fool or a lunatic by the knowledge of the gods in her head. '

Chen Yan frowned and said, "So that's how it is..."

After a short silence, Wish suddenly said: 'She can see me. '

As soon as Chen Yan turned his head, he saw that Messiah was staring at the position beside him, with a curious gleam in his beautiful blue eyes.

'Damn it, she really doesn't know me?She's really not...'

Chen Yan wondered: "She was just born, how did she know you?"

On the seat next to Chen Yan, in the field of vision that he couldn't see, the silver-haired girl was squinting her eyes and looking at Messiah, the hostility in her eyes almost overflowed.

But after a while, she finally couldn't maintain such a look at each other, and was defeated by Messiah's pure eyes.

She didn't see any other colors in her eyes.

So she ignored her gaze and changed the topic: "After you got off work this afternoon, I looked at the place underground. '

Chen Yan suddenly came alive: "How to say?"

She said: "I can be sure that there are only ruins and wreckage left there, um... Although there are still living things, but the living things are not the residents there, but came in from the outside, they are the latecomers. '

Chen Yan immediately told Wish about the conversation with Alice this afternoon.

After hearing this, Wish asked curiously: 'Huh?how can that be possible?The ruins I have seen are obviously very dilapidated. Judging from the aging of the buildings in the ruins... at least a hundred years old.

She thought about it carefully, and affirmed:
'That city must have been destroyed a hundred years ago. '

Chen Yan pondered: "But according to Alice, she entered the underground ruins in her dream about half a year ago."

Wish pondered: "This is strange... I'll go back tonight and have a look, maybe I really overlooked something before." '

Chen Yan took out the hot fried chicken from the bread oven, put it on the dining table, and said while she was eating the fried chicken:

"By the way, I have something to do tomorrow, so I don't care about you."

Wish gnawed on the fried chicken, and gave a faltering hum, expressing that he understood.

The kitchen became quiet, and the sound produced by the occasional sparks in the bread oven was extraordinarily loud in such a quiet winter night. The street lamp outside the window was already on, and the cold white light shining into the kitchen could not dispel the sound rising from under the floor. the warmth.

Only in such a quiet time can Chen Yan feel that the sky-high floor heating expenses are worth it.

Messiah's eyes have left the wish, and then placed on Chen Yan.

She seems to maintain a strong curiosity about the world, she has to watch everything for a long time, and she never gets tired of it.

What's even more bizarre is that Chen Yan got used to this kind of gaze after a while.

He was thinking that there are more and more people in the apartment now, and after Nuomi Guo and Messiah go to school, they need to have their own desks and necessary lighting devices.

Do you want to repair the apartment?
Like installing chandeliers in every room?Or buy some desks?
That was a lot of money, but he could probably afford it. The 25 pounds he earned from Colin Frankenstein gave Ogami more than half, and the remaining 10 pounds was enough for him to buy and repair the apartment. required items.

or...

Issue an invoice and ask the company for reimbursement?

But Tiger doesn't seem to need a desk, nor does he need to read under a chandelier...

Thinking of this, Chen Yan sighed in his heart, the money that should be spent should be taken out of his own pocket no matter what...

There are many things to do tomorrow, hand over the six lists to Vidya Gandhi, buy items needed for repairs and find decoration workers... maybe also need to buy some ingredients.

Although these things are not difficult, they are time-consuming to do, and may take up his energy all day.

Looks like I won't be able to go to work tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan thought of what happened before.

At the start of last week, he spoke to Lawrence, the zoo's first agent, on the phone about the leave.

Lawrence has made it clear that the third uncle will be of great help to the zoo's research. If it is to conduct a follow-up investigation on the third uncle, he can not go to work when he is sure that his wish is all right.

Too many things happened after that, Chen Yan was so busy that he completely forgot what Lawrence said.

Now the third uncle is dead, and the body has been taken away by Colin Frankenstein. If Chen Yan doesn't go to work tomorrow, how can he explain to Lawrence when he asks about it?
Speaking of which, judging from all the previous signs, Lawrence must be very well-informed. When Ohgami was killing people in the lower city, Lawrence quickly knew the relevant news.

Well, Lawrence also probably knew what happened in the apartment building at No. 33 Walker Street last Sunday night... According to Gottlinde's description, "every monster under the smoky lake knows it."

In other words, the current Lawrence probably already knew that his third uncle was dead.

even……

Even, Lawrence may know that he handed over the body of his third uncle to Colin Frankenstein.

Lawrence had always been nice to him back then, but now he did such a "broken promise" thing and gave Colin Frankenstein the research object entrusted to him by Lawrence.

Fortunately, he had an agreement with Colin Frankenstein, and only gave third uncle to them to study for three days.

Colin Frankenstein took the third uncle's body away this Monday. Three days later, that is, Thursday afternoon at the latest—the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest, according to the agreement, he would send the third uncle's body back.

Colin Frankenstein had better obediently send back the third uncle's body, and don't let him pick it up in person...

Chen Yan found it depressed, but if Colin really wanted him to pick it up, he had no way to refuse.

Thinking of the weird place of Miskatonic University, Chen Yan couldn't help shivering.

Let's talk about the day after tomorrow, and there is no need to think of the worst before it happens.

The big deal is that when the time comes, I will have the cheek to go and find Ogami together.

……

Thinking of this, he began to think about what reason he would use to ask for leave if he didn't go to work tomorrow.

The third uncle was dead, and the well-informed Lawrence probably already knew about it, so he couldn't be fooled.

Let's just tell the truth.

Such a violent conflict happened last Sunday night. Under the circumstances at that time, the death of the third uncle was inevitable.

As for the deal with Colin Frankenstein...

Just tell Lawrence this way: when dealing with the third uncle, he used the help of Colin Frankenstein, and the condition was to hand over the third uncle's corpse to them for three days to study.

It was only three days. After three days, he would get the third uncle's incomplete body anyway and give Lawrence an explanation.

It would be too late to ask for leave tomorrow. Tonight, I must first tell Lawrence about asking for leave tomorrow.

After thinking about the wording for a moment, Chen Yan called Lawrence.

After a short standby, Lawrence's voice came from the other side of the phone:
"Mr. Chen, you finally contacted me."

Chen Yan heard the expectation in his words, and was a little surprised in his guilty heart. He didn't ask for leave first, but asked:

"Huh? Have you been waiting for my call?"

I don't know if it was Chen Yan's illusion, but he felt that Lawrence's voice had a kind of eagerness that he didn't have before, and it felt as if he regarded him... like a good friend with deep feelings.

Strange, how can there be such a feeling?

Lawrence's voice came from the phone immediately:

"Yes, I have been waiting for your call. Too many things have happened these days. As a colleague, I care about you."

Why did he suddenly say this...

Chen Yan involuntarily raised 120 points of vigilance in his heart. He didn't know what Lawrence wanted to do, so he could only deal with him carefully.

Instead, Wish suddenly sent him a voice transmission: "This is the Lawrence you once said... It's really interesting, I can't hear his voice, is it some kind of rule restriction?" '
