Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 344 The Non-Existent Recorder ([-])

When Chen Yan saw this, a subconscious thought popped into his head:
Look no further.

There are weird and unreasonable contents in the log, don't read any more!
He wanted to take his eyes off the paper, but he stretched out his hand uncontrollably, and picked up the next piece of paper full of diaries.

It was also at this time that he finally felt that the cold air in the morning was spreading on the floor of the attic, mixed with the unique smog of Yanan City, and he did not know when it had covered the entire floor of the attic.

The smog outside the window was also thick, and the buildings in the smog could not be seen clearly from the corner of his eyes.

Even Ogami next to him seemed to be completely covered by the smog—Chen Yan couldn't feel his presence anymore.

At this moment, apart from the small desk in front of him, Chen Yan felt as if he was in a thick fog.

The sense of direction disappeared, and the moment the cold and humid mist touched the skin, it turned into water vapor. The water vapor condensed into cold water droplets on his neck, and flowed along his neck into the warm chest, making him freeze. She shivered firmly.

The whole world seems to be left with only the small desk in front of me, the kerosene lamp on the desk, and the paper under the light.

He tried his best to leave the small desk, but his body froze in place, unable to move.

Ohgami, who was covered by the dense fog, seemed to have completely disappeared from him, not only did he not take any action to stop the abnormal occurrence on him, he even couldn't hear any sound.

Following the soft whispers coming from his ears, and feeling the swelling sensation coming from the intracranial eye in his forehead, he finally understood that these papers were actually a kind of [unknown knowledge].

And he obviously couldn't bear this kind of knowledge, which made him on the verge of losing control!

He stared uncontrollably at the paper.

Surprisingly, this Asian man named Chen Yan is not a black householder, but a new immigrant with a status.

He has an identity certificate called a "work visa" in his hand to prove his legal status.

It is worth mentioning that during the short chat, I learned that he is currently studying at Miskatonic University, and that he is in the same grade and major as the tenant in Room 201: abnormal biology.

But they obviously don't know each other—these two Asians seem to be completely strangers to each other, and they don't even greet each other when they meet in the corridor.

The Asian name of the tenant in Room 201 is Miao Yingchu, and the imperial name is Harlem Kakubo.

The Asian name of the tenant in Room 305 is Chen Yan, and the imperial name is James Adams.

I'm very curious about them. "

Adams……

Twenty years ago, William Adams should have been stranded in Sakura Country, or had just arrived in Tianshen State... No matter how he counted, he hadn't returned to the Empire yet.

The Adams family at that time must have not yet made a fortune.

So, who is this Asian James Adams?

Chen Yan thought of the [Chen Yan] with quantum technology that appeared last Sunday night, and the guesses in his heart were ready to come out.

His eyes looked down uncontrollably.

December 12th of the Year of the Cedar

This year is coming to an end, and I have managed to find more tenants, filling almost all the rooms in the apartment.

I was so mesmerized by what was happening in every room in the apartment that I devoted more of my time to observing them.

The only thing worthy of vigilance is that Chen Yan seems to have discovered the secret of the chimney.

But I won't let him continue to explore, it's not a secret he can bear now.

Today, the girl in room 103 is sick, um... It seems that the doctor infected her last time, she is such a poor girl, she was frightened by what happened to herself, and her fear made her act irrationally move:
She bought expensive medicines to suppress the infectious disease in her body.

She didn't know that the infectious virus had spread to other parts of her body.

There is no cure for her, and she can only use drugs to delay her life.

Miao Yingchu in Room 201 and Chen Yan in Room 305 almost only come back at night. They are obviously taking the same courses, and even being taught in the same classroom—even so, after returning to the apartment, they still look like who they are I don't know anyone.

What a weird couple of people.

But if there is a conflict between them, why not return the lease?According to the express agreement in the rental contract, they only need to pay one month's rent as liquidated damages, and they can refund the rent paid half a year in advance.

do not really understand.

But I'll always figure it out if I keep watching. "

December 12th of the Year of the Cedar

A few days passed, and the girl in room 103 became more ill, but she did not stop receiving guests.

She needs money to treat her illness.

Although I know the owners of several workshops and factories, I still don’t want to help her find a job that seems “serious”. More heavy labor and less money will only speed up her death. "

"The residents in the other four rooms on the first floor seem to be doing business in partnership. I don't know what kind of business they are, but basically they all leave early and return late, and they act in the same way... I have a vague feeling that there is a problem with the four of them, but what is the specific problem? I can't tell.

Still need to continue to observe it. "

"Only room 205 on the second floor is vacant, and the rest of the rooms are:

Miao Yingchu, who lives under the pseudonym "Halin Kakubo" at No. 201.

Miao Yingchu goes to class during the day and comes back to sleep at night, this has been the case since entering the apartment.

Room 202 is inhabited by a young man of a strange race named "Chai" (I can assure you that in the long time I have been conscious, I have never seen a race like him), I have asked around, but have not found Where is his hometown.

Chai is strong, and I once saw muscles in his arms inadvertently—those are not human muscles.

He may be a demihuman, but I can't be sure, because I haven't smelled the unique fishy smell of demihumans from him yet.

The guest in room 203 just arrived today, a German named Joseph Lagrange, a middle-aged man of considerable wealth, and he lived in with his mistress—

I think he rents a house here just to keep his mistress.

In fact, there are many people in the city who do this - find a beautiful girl who is short of money, put them in a modest-looking apartment like 33 Walker Street, give them some living expenses, and visit their house from time to time Room.

I watched two hours of their goodness and it was astounding.

The guest in Room 204 arrived yesterday. His name is Daxo. He is a guy who smells like fish. He is engaged in killing and selling fish in a market not far away.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that there is a faint smell of decaying water stains on his body.

That's the smell from the bottom of the smoky lake.

I haven't smelled this smell for many years. "

"There is still only one room vacant on the third floor, and the rest of the rooms are occupied separately:

The tenant in Room 301 is named "Anselm", a Luke. I can be sure that this must be a pseudonym, because the name Anselm does not exist in the Luke civilization, and he does not have a surname.

Anzem was a handsome man who would greet everyone with a smile. Unlike the "cold beauty" of Miao Yingchu in Room 201, Anzem's beauty gave people a warm feeling.

Even a cruelly cursed creature like myself finds some warmth in his greeting. "

"The guest in room 302 was named Victor Frankenstein.

I remember that "Frankenstein" was a degraded noble surname, the ancestors were very rich, and seemed to be the big landowners in the manor outside the city of Yanan.

Are they poor enough to rent an apartment by now...

In short, there is no more valuable information.

Still need to continue to observe this person. "

"The guest in room 303 is called Barbarossa, a Snito with a dark brown skin, and it is obvious at a glance that he was once a pirate——

Not the kind of old, weak, sick and disabled fake pirates in the smoky lake who only go ashore to grab food.

He is a real pirate who dares to exchange heads with the imperial navy with a broken knife on the southern sea area of ​​the empire!

But that's just "once".

Since the empire's fleet conquered the entire sea area, most of the pirates in the outer seas were wiped out. After the remaining pirates knelt under the emperor's bronze statue and kissed the emperor's toes, they became serious imperial people——

Why did the emperor make them imperial people?Probably because their blood is strong enough to become stronger soldiers than traditional rural Lukes.

With such a Snitu man living in the apartment, the hooligans on the street must not dare to pee in the corner downstairs of the apartment. "

"Room 304 is vacant. "

"Room 305 lives in Chen Yan, whose alias is James Adams. He is the most ordinary person in the crowd. I can hardly find anything wrong with him. He is so ordinary.

But my intuition told me that he must not be as ordinary as I saw. "

"I want to faithfully record everything that happened in this apartment, that is my cursed fate.

I don't die because of it, I'm trapped in it because of it, I've been mad because of it, but self-harm doesn't make me feel better, suicide doesn't work at all.

Fortunately, no matter what, I finally got used to the cramped environment in the attic.

I sensed what would happen next, my intuition was quite accurate, that was the ability I had exchanged for the curse. "

Chen Yan's eyes still didn't stop, he had given up resisting now, because he found that when he didn't resist, his body wouldn't feel any discomfort.

This at least shows that the mist—or the existence of manipulating the mist—has no malice towards him.

After thinking about this point, even though there was still no Ogami in sight, Chen Yan was no longer so afraid.

He continued watching uncontrollably.

January 1st of the Ice Year.

Yesterday, a scientific research ship from a distant sea entered the port of the empire. There was no one on board, but there were some very strange... things.

I'm particularly curious about this, because according to yesterday's news, the scientific research ship has reached the size of a large ferry, carrying a complete ecosystem on it: plantations, livestock farms, composting workshops...

The ship even opened up a huge cabin to store coal—according to the official statement, the coal stored on this ship is enough for the ship to set off from the east of the empire, travel around the entire world, and finally return from the west of the empire.
