Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 369 The renovated apartment, speculation about the recorder, and the workers who refused to leave
Chen Yan looked at the girl and couldn't figure out what was going on with her for a while.

At this time, Jack Baldo came down from the stairs, and when he saw Chen Yan, he joined him.

“Such a delicious meal, what a touch!”

Why am I so moved...

Jack Baldo looked at Messiah, but Messiah ignored him, which made him very embarrassed for a while, so he had to change the subject, and said to Chen Yan: "It's really cheap for those muddy legs, such a delicious meal, It's worth two pennies outside!"

Chen Yan asked: "How are they doing?"

Jack Baldo said truthfully: "Mediocre, neither good nor bad. Workers in the old city and further south are like this. Although they can be called skilled, they can't be very delicate."

Chen Yan said: "As long as it is safe and durable enough."

Jack Baldo nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this."

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his voice and whispered: "What about the corpses that Ohgami put in Room 201 before? I passed by there today, and it smelled bad, because the apartment has underfloor heating, so... rotten Pretty fast."

It was the corpses of those... bionic creatures last Sunday night.

Chen Yan pondered: "I still have use for those things, and I can't move them for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jack Baldo looked at him immediately changed, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"My dear brother, the study of life has always been taboo. My vague memory tells me that there have been countless beings who tried to break through the shackles of life by meddling with life, but they all failed without exception, so you...be careful. "

Chen Yan didn't expect him to say these words, and said solemnly: "I will make a decision after careful consideration."

Jack Baldo nodded, and when he spoke again, he didn't mention the "corpses" in Room 201:

"Glutinous rice fruit has been staying in the attic from morning until now, wrestling with that pile of notes. I tried to help her, but the words on those papers are too headache... Do you want to help her?"

After learning about this, Chen Yan finished eating the ramen as quickly as possible, and hurried up to the attic without time to enjoy the taste from his hometown.

I saw the glutinous rice fruit plate sitting on a hill made of paper, with papers of various colors all over the head and body.

Her eyes were red, and she continued to pick and choose mechanically.

What made him feel strange was that the papers he brought back obviously didn't have so many—the papers he wrapped in his coat this morning had been arranged in chronological order when he left the apartment in the morning, leaving only one Just a small stack.

But now, the glutinous rice fruit is almost buried by a hill of paper!

It is unbelievable that the hill-like paper is growing taller and taller!

Nuomi Guo sensed Chen Yan's arrival, she raised her head stiffly, and looked at him with dull eyes.

"Ah, Yan Jun, you are back, what's the matter?"

Chen Yan said, "Let me organize these things for you."

Nuomi Guo didn't seem to hear what he said, but said in a daze: "Those notes... are really valuable knowledge, and I have gained a lot of inspiration from them."

Chen Yan felt that her state was very wrong, but she didn't know what went wrong with her, so she asked tentatively:

"Have you been tidying up those things since morning?"

Nuomi Guo didn't answer him, but just said to himself:
"Raz has made detailed records of the extraordinary side of Yanan City, um...those records are not systematic narratives, but real and vivid events one after another."

She lowered her head, eyes wandering.

"I have doubts about this world because of these records. Too many unreasonable things happen in this real world, but that is not logical..."

After she finished speaking, she kept her head down.

Sitting beside her, Chen Yan looked at the new paper quietly appearing beside her, her heart was awe-inspiring, her expression was as usual, and she had roughly guessed what happened to her:

'Something in Raz's memory is [unknown knowledge] for glutinous rice fruit.

Seeing this knowledge, Nuomi Guo lost control to a certain extent.

And this out-of-control performance is the generation of countless new [unknown knowledge]—this pile of paper hills! '

Chen Yan took a piece of paper casually, and saw that some kind of creepy supernatural story was recorded on it. The story was wrapped in a layer of social science, which could easily mislead people.

'Is glutinous rice fruit caught in such a story? '

He spent a few minutes preparing his speech, and then said in a calm tone:

"If anyone can confirm the veracity of Raz's record, it must be me."

He successfully attracted the attention of Nuomi Guo.

He looked at her eyes that had regained focus, and continued:
"I once entered Raz's memory and witnessed her complete life, from the time she was forced to become a recorder, until the end of her life, until she became it, until it waited for my arrival..."

Chen Yan was telling Nuomi Guo the story of Raz, about the long 110-[-] years.

Numerous questions in Nuomi Guo's mind were answered in this detailed narration, and the stack of papers around him gradually became less and less.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, almost all the papers with weird stories around her had disappeared.

"What we can only affirm now is that the reality is illogical, and the reality is much more outrageous than imagined."

Chen Yan looked at the red in her pupils that gradually disappeared completely, and continued:

"Those things that Raz experienced are our precious wealth, but we can't just look at those things, because those things happened with the background of the times and the basis of reality. We can't think about the problem apart from reality. You Right?"

A look of thought flashed in the eyes of Nuomi Guo:

"She has experienced the most dramatic changes in the history of Yanan City. The society of each era is almost completely different. If the things she recorded are placed in a special era background, perhaps it is really not surprising..."

A new light gradually bloomed in her eyes, she looked at Chen Yan, and said in a slightly apologetic voice:
"I made you laugh!"

Chen Yan didn't know how much loss of control she had accumulated, but at least he was sure that she was safe for the time being.

Next, he and she finished sorting out the remaining small part of the records, and the time came after three o'clock in the afternoon.

Nuomi Guo picked up a note from the sorted records and said:

"I always felt that Raz's story didn't end there."

She looked into Chen Yan's eyes:
"Have you ever thought about, as an extraordinary person, what kind of ability [Recorder] is endowed by the world?"

Chen Yan was stunned:
"This... I really haven't thought about it."

Glutinous Rice said:
"She continued to exist after her death. This is certainly because she has embarked on an evolutionary divergence, but it is undeniable that this is still an evolution—an evolution that belongs to the [Recorder].

Does this mean that [recorder] can exist in the form of [spiritual body]? "

"One of the underlying rules of the world that I know is [the soul that loses its body will enter the afterlife before the next sun rises].

The [Recorder] is obviously beyond this rule.

Is this power beyond the rules given to them by the world?

"These questions are all to be verified."

"If we can know the survival rules of the [Recorder], we may be able to reversely deduce the living environment of the [Recorder] through these rules, so as to find another [Recorder] and learn more from their long memories. secret!"

Looking at Nuomi Guo's fanatical expression, Chen Yan probably knew why she lost control just now.

So, he decided to change the subject——

"Now, why don't you plan on enrolling in church schools?"

She looked astonished, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Yan was holding a few admission notices in her hand, the top one had her pseudonym written in beautiful imperial characters in the name column:

Devin Childe.

It sounds like the name of a country girl from the empire, such a common name is a good cover for identity.

"Church schools do not have a fixed teaching system, as long as you get enough credits, you can graduate."

Chen Yan relayed the information Vidya Gandhi told him to Nuomi Guo.

She listened carefully.

"There are two kinds of credits in missionary schools, 'academic credits' and 'good deeds', the former through closed-book paper exams and the latter through social activities - which means you might need to go to a soup kitchen Vigil - we can wait until the summer to try and get good deed points like that."

Presumably Vidya Gandhi will definitely arrange the study plan of glutinous rice and Messiah properly.

"You and Messiah have prepared things, and we can report tomorrow, but after the report, there may be no academic arrangements for the time being. I think the church school has a library. Maybe you can go and have a look together."

"Other things like 'student insurance' and 'student ID card' will be handled by the teachers of the church school on their behalf. I don't think it will make you wait too long."

Nuo Miguo waited for more than a week, and finally this day came——Based on the social chaos in Yanan City, the "student card" can be used as a proof of identity, for students of church schools, especially for a non-empire native For Aboriginal people, the student ID card of a church school is even easier to use than a residence visa.

In the future, glutinous rice fruit can finally walk on the streets openly like Ogami, instead of worrying about being caught by the street patrol every time it goes on the street like now.

Nuomi Guo took the admission notice and left the attic. She had to prepare the items needed for school according to the requirements on the notice. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was less than two hours before it got dark. If she wanted to go to work tomorrow morning Before rushing to the church school, she needed to hurry up.

Workers have also finally finished repairing the walls - they seem to have used a very clever filling method, after removing the sand from the walls, fixing the remaining walls with cement and wood.

Chen Yan has already tried it, and the entire wall is quite solid now.

After he paid the workers their wages, these workers stood at the door of the apartment, hesitating, as if they didn't want to leave.

It wasn't until Chen Yan asked curiously that the older one of them said to him:
"Boss, we will follow you in the future, okay?"
