Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 341 Bloodthirsty Strain
The ugly creation rushing out of Da Pangen's chest abruptly reversed its direction in mid-air, and hit the ground beside it. The ground was smashed by that thing like tofu.

It wasn't until the big pan-gen withdrew its strength that the ugly creation stopped rushing deeper into the ground.

And when he took the thing back, there were palm-sized hollows on the ground that couldn't be seen to the bottom at a glance.

According to Ohgami's conservative estimate, the hole is at least 3 meters deep.

In less than half a second, it drilled into the ground at a depth of 3 meters... Ohgami measured the strength and speed of this kind, and found that in terms of destructiveness alone, that ugly thing already had enough damage. his entitlement to inflict harm.

Da Pangen retracted the thing, and looked at Gottlind angrily: "Your late mother will be ashamed of what you did!"

Gottlinde looked directly at him, took out something from his pocket, and said, "No, Uncle, times have changed, and we may be able to continue Chunshen's life in other ways."

Everyone looked at what she was holding.

That was the heart of the enchanted creature that Chen Yan gave her just tonight.

"This is the creation of the latest technology of the empire, knowledge from unknown gods, used by the chants on bionics."

Da Pangen saw the fiber above the severed heart at a glance.

"This is!"

Gottlinde held the heart in one hand, and pointed to the intricate blood vessels above the heart like plant veins with the other:
"This is a plant tissue that can carry flesh and blood... In other words, it's hard to say whether this thing is animal tissue or plant tissue."

She watched the change in Da Pangen's face:

"With this thing, we no longer have to be condemned by our conscience, and we don't have to go against the will of the God of Spring, and we don't need to develop believers in a way that He doesn't like."

"We only need to infuse that part of Spring God's will in each of us into such a creation, and then Spring God can be reborn!"

Big Pan said:
"But... this thing is already dead."

Gottlind says:
"This thing only appeared for the first time in Yanan City last Sunday night, and according to the way the choral group operates, this kind of thing will inevitably appear a second time, and it must be an improved version.

We need to pay attention to the movement of the chant troupe, lay traps, capture the bionics of the chant troupe when they appear for the second time, and then try to erase the consciousness in it, put the will of Spring God in it, and grow in it... "

Da Pangen finally looked away from the severed heart: "It's not impossible."

He looked around.

Everyone obtained his permission and began to express their opinions:

"It is difficult for the God of Spring to exist in the body of a mortal for a long time, even for us believers. Therefore, we must constantly sacrifice our own vitality to maintain our bodies that can continue to bear the will of the God of Spring."

"Chunshen can grow in plants...but it's not safe to put Chunshen in a fixed plant."

"Yes, to the evil gods of the empire, the Spring God is like a medicine that can cure all diseases blindly - the divine power of the Spring God can even be used to treat [corruption]."

"If Spring God becomes a fixed plant, we will be tied up, and we will not be able to protect him until he regains his divinity."

"If the God of Spring can grow in such...an animal-like plant, not only can it preserve its divine power, but it can also condense the broken consciousness, stand in front of us, and guide us in the direction we are going!"

"At that time, we won't have to be as confused as we are today!"

Da Pangen listened to everyone's words, his serious expression suddenly dissipated, and he said excitedly:
"If that's the case, it couldn't be better!"

He came to Gottlinde in two steps, took the broken heart of the barrier creature from her hand, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly said:
"It's not completely dead."

Everyone present was stunned.

Even Ogami was stunned. Among the people present, he had the strongest spiritual sense and could feel the breath of the heart the most—the heart was obviously completely dead.

I saw the big root sticking out its fingers, and his fingers turned into moss and squirmed on the severed heart, and drilled into it along the dry artery——

The next moment, the arteries above the heart suddenly jumped.

After the first jump, a full 5 seconds elapsed before the second jump occurred.

The time between the second beating and the third beating was shortened to 2 seconds.

Less than a blink of an eye had passed by the time the fourth beat occurred.

"Bang... bang..."

The off-white heart seems to have a new life in the hands of Da Pangen!

The spring god believers present cheered, but Ogami could only feel strange: the heart was cut open by tears of worship, and no matter what, there should be no life in it.

But if that thing is completely dead, what is going on with the current "recovery"?

Ohgami was certain of one thing: forcibly infusing life into a dead body would only lead to ugly distortions like zombies.

The "resuscitation" of that heart must not be a good thing.

Gottlinde looked at the revived heart and said excitedly:

"This thing is like the spores of a plant. As long as it is not wiped out, there is a possibility of rebirth!"

Da Pangen held the heart carefully, and made a sound like weeping with joy:
"This is... our hope!"

All the Chunshen believers present were crying with tears in their eyes, and their excitement was beyond words.

Da Pangen said to everyone:

"We want to find a piece of fertile soil, plant this species, and then take good care of it until the vitality of this thing can bear the will of the Spring God!"

Believers agreed.

So, under the gaze of everyone, Da Pangen took out a shiny branch from his bosom, and stroked the branch along his chest from top to bottom——

The blood spattered did not cause any discomfort to anyone present. They watched him cut open his chest with pure fanatical eyes, took out his heart, and then put the "reborn" enchanted creature heart into himself ribcage.

Ohgami had never seen anything more like a cult ritual.

There were two expressions intertwined on Da Pangen's face, one was excitement and the other was pain. He was suffering in this extreme excitement until the whole ceremony was completed——

Others poked out the ugly swamp python-like tentacles from his chest, and smeared dark green slime on the scar on his chest.

With the low burning sound, a scar appeared on his chest that spread from the bottom of his neck to his lower abdomen.

The heart was "planted" into his chest cavity.

After that, everyone present began to chat about some normal topics:

About the trade between each other, what places to drink in the city, what to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning...

They even started to drink, the barrels were in the basement, and it smelled like refined fruit wine, which was completely different from the fake ale sold outside.

In Ogami's terms, the scene was even more harmonious than a cult gathering.

The rally came to an end at four o'clock in the morning.

After everyone left, Ogami continued to follow Gottlind and came to a heating pipe.

He watched helplessly as she put her hand on the vent of the heating pipe, and her whole body was broken into wriggling moss. Good control of all moss movement.

Ohgami still wanted to follow, but the heating pipes lead to the ground, and he lost Gotlinde's breath completely after he followed a few steps.

He returns to where she entered the pipe.

The winter nights in Yanan City were unbelievably cold, and the moss left outside the pipeline was quickly "frozen to death"—they lost their biological activity due to being frozen.

Ohgami collected the moss, put it in a plastic bag from the street, and brought it back.

"I thought there was something to say about the origin of this plastic bag..."

After listening to his story, Chen Yan looked at the moss in the plastic bag with different eyes.

"These things started to squirm again, indicating that their biological activity has resumed."

He was a little embarrassed, and said to Moss:

"Gotlinde, are you listening?"

Moss didn't respond to him, but just squirmed erratically as before.

"what?"

This thing... what's going on?Doesn't there exist Gottlinde's consciousness in it?

Chen Yan turned on his spirit vision, and immediately saw that these mosses had completely changed their appearance - those gray and white without any color, like the color of the gray screen in a black and white TV, represented that these things were truly dead.

"Dead things... how can they squirm?"

While demonstrating, Ohgami said, "Look."

He stretched out his fingers to the moss, and when the finger was half an arm away from the moss, the moss seemed to feel his fingers, and twisted into a bunch, wanting to touch his fingers.

Ohgami withdrew his fingers, peeled off a dried blood scab from the bony prosthetic hand, and threw it towards the moss.

"Look again."

Chen Yan watched the moss engulf the blood scab in an instant.

In the spiritual vision, a blush spread in the gray-white moss.

The next moment, there was a third color among the gray and white—that extremely beautiful emerald green, spreading through the moss like waves.

"They devour the blood, making it their life force."

Ohgami said:
"Plants that can swallow blood are not common."

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"Yes... I think this thing should be the spores of some kind of fungus, because there are Haemophilus and Haemolyticus in fungi, and both genera have bacteria that can swallow blood..."

He paused and added:
"Of course, it may also be an unusual creature that has never been discovered before."

The way he looked at these bloodthirsty bacteria suddenly changed.

"If we can't handle it, why don't we just hand it over to the zoo..."

After he finished speaking, he felt unreliable. If he gave this thing to the zoo, he would not be able to get along with Gottlinde in the future.

Ohgami said: "In any case, they don't have any biological activity, and only rely on the blood they get to supplement their lives. Such things... are no different from zombies."

Chen Yan looked at the bloodthirsty strains that were "jumping" in the plastic bag, and recalled what Ogami had just said in the basement, and had some guesses in his mind.
