Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 370 The Identity of James Adams
Chen Yan glanced at the hope in their eyes, and finally landed on the face of the speaker.

It was a Goliath, about 40 years old, wearing a tattered gray octagonal hat, like most Goliaths, he had fair skin with light brown fluff. His blue eyes were clouded, and it was impossible to see his expression in them.

"Why do you think so?" Chen Yan asked him.

He pointed to the door behind Chen Yan: "Those who own such an apartment must be rich, and most of the rich own property, and you are very generous, so we can rest assured that we will do our best for you."

It's really simple and rude.

Chen Yan said: "You may have misunderstood, I don't have any property, and I don't have any company in operation."

Hearing his straightforward answer, the group of workers were obviously disappointed.

Uncle Goliath pinched the brim of his octagonal hat, and stopped looking into Chen Yan's eyes: "It's a pity."

The workers left, Chen Yan looked at their backs, thoughtful.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ogami came back, although he looked very tired, but Chen Yan had to tell him something.

"There may be uninvited guests tonight, but they are all mortals, not worth using weapons."

Ohgami just nodded: "Understood."

Chen Yan asked with concern: "Are you tired from work?"

Ohgami forced a smile: "I can't say whether I'm tired or not, it's just that I have to do some things I don't like to do, and I feel tired."

Chen Yan also grinned: "Going to work is like going to a grave."

Ohgami smiled wryly, "That's how it feels!"

Perhaps it was Chen Yan's joke that made him relax a bit, Ogami immediately complained:
"That Leonardo Adams doesn't know what he is doing, he seems to have offended someone, today I escorted him to a large cold storage for storing raw meat in the north of Yanan City, when he was attacked by an unknown person on the way, and the attacker turned out to be some kind of Deadpool, killed himself before I caught him."

Chen Yan said:

"To be able to support Deadpool, it must be not an ordinary person. Maybe it is Leonard Adams' political opponent? Or maybe someone who is dissatisfied with his policies? In short, there must be some great conflict of interest."

Ohgami nodded:
"After that, I heard two senior security guards chatting, saying that the largest pork supplier in Yanan City was shot in the head by Leonardo, and that person was also one of the newly elected councilors."

Chen Yan immediately thought of the scene he saw in the brass pipe.

He was guessing at the time whether the young man surnamed Adams would be Leonardo.

Now, his guess has been confirmed.

"Leonardo's recent business expansion is very fast. When I saw him last time, he was still busy calculating the supply situation of the day in his notes even on the way to the election site, but this time I saw him At the time, he already had his own team of cashiers - a team that belonged to Leonardo alone, not a team hired by the Adams family.

As one of the major food suppliers in Yanan City, he now seems to have obtained a considerable portion of the meat market, which has led to the market pricing of a large part of the food ingredients in Yanan City, which is almost entirely up to him. "

Chen Yan touched his chin and said:
"But at present, it seems that he has not changed his original pricing strategy because of the monopoly - the eggs I buy today are still 1 penny and 1 pound (0.9 catties), which is already ridiculously cheap."

Ohgami thought for a moment, and said:

"Such outrageously low prices are estimated to continue, because in his communications with officials around him, he has mentioned the need to maintain price stability."

Chen Yan thought about it:
"Under the condition that the productivity has not yet been reached, the price of the item is much lower than the original price. Someone must bear the pressure brought by this part of the price difference. Did he pass this part of the pressure on to the municipal government? Take tax to subsidize the people's diet ? Good guy, if he really does this, he can really be called a good person."

Ohgami didn't know anything about it.

Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Need to look again."

Ohgami said:
"This kind of thing happened today. I guess I will have to go to work in the next few days. I will relay his words and deeds to you."

Chen Yan nodded, thanked him, and asked:
"What does he think of you?"

Ohgami knew that Chen Yan would ask such a question, and on the way back, he had already carefully thought about Leonardo's opinion of him.

His answer aroused strong curiosity in Chen Yan's heart.

"Leonardo knew who I was, what I had done in Yharnam, especially last Sunday night - because he treated me very differently today when I was at work - he Think of me as a doorman, not a simple violent armed man."

Chen Yan seemed eager to try:

"Since he is a member of the Adams family, he must know some secrets about the extraordinary side, and he himself is likely to be an extraordinary person—if he has the Adams family's berserk spirit, isn't it a man-made extraordinary person?"

Ohgami said seriously:
"He does have an extraordinary aura, but that aura is very weird. It's not spiritual vision, nor is it spiritual perception... What kind of thing is a violent spirit?"

Chen Yan replied:

"According to what I know now, the Violent Spirit can only be defined as [an artificially created procedural creature].

As for turning the program into a spirit body, I also find it incredible. "

Ohgami snapped his fingers:

"Perhaps it is a special ability of some kind of outer god."

Chen Yan deeply agrees:

"I also think so, because this kind of technology—it can barely be called technology, its basic concept is too advanced, and it is not something that people in this level of industrial society can think of."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, Ogami looked into his eyes and said solemnly:

"There is one more important thing."

Sensing his solemnity, Chen Yan immediately looked awe-inspiring and listened attentively.

"This morning, an Asian stopped by Leonardo's parliamentary office. His name was James, and Leonardo called him a brother."

"That is to say, his name is James Adams."

"Yan Jun, he is from your Heavenly Shenzhou."

Chen Yan was a little unconcealable uneasy:
"Is there any other news about him?"

Ohgami pondered:

"Leonardo was in awe of him, as if he held the power in Leonardo's hands. The feeling between the two is not brother at all. James Adams is in his 40s and Leonardo is in his 20s. Years old, they are more like... father and son?
I say that, not exactly.

Leonardo must have the power to be restricted by him, and he must ask for something, so he showed a fear that others can detect... This kind of fear is quite common, and I think Leonardo should be taught a lesson by him However, and he should still retain the power and ability to teach Leonardo a lesson - just like his father. "

Chen Yan had a flash of inspiration and said, "Isn't that the guardian!"

He went on to say:

"I heard before that Leonardo is the son of William Adams, how could the power in the hands of his son be inferior to a named Asian?

This shows that the Asian must be very close to William Adams himself, and may have even shared weal and woe. "

Judging from all the information collected in the past, Chen Yan had already determined the identity of James Adams in his heart, but the identity of the other party made him a little at a loss.

The imperial winter night always comes very early, especially after entering December, the sunset time is even earlier than 12 pm.

Standing in the corridor, Chen Yan looked at the long string of small kerosene lamps on the top of the corridor connecting the restaurant and the hall, lost in thought.

Jack Baldo told him that these long strings of kerosene lamps were given to him by the workers themselves, in return for his meals.

In any case, the first floor was finally lit up, and the tenants were able to eat in a bright environment.

Today is different from the past. After nightfall, the landlords and tenants of the 33 Walker Street apartment have fresh meals immediately.

Everyone's dinner plate is filled with different food, which is the imperial food processed by means of Tianshen State. Although it looks strange, it really tastes delicious.

After dinner, Chen Yan stayed in the dining room early to wait for his wish.

Intuition told him that the wish would come earlier than usual.

And Messiah was by his side, lying on the table bored. She had already prepared a meal for one person, which was much larger than the fried chicken last time.

At about 07:30 in the evening, a breeze that did not carry the cold came into the restaurant.

Immediately, the sound of desperately chewing sounded, and the food on the wish plate began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chen Yan looked at the speed at which the food on the dinner plate was decreasing, and knew that his intuition was correct.

"Are you tired today?"

Messiah looked at him suspiciously.

The wish was almost a wailing voice echoing in his ears:

'I'm exhausted!Lying there all day today is more tiring than playing all day in the past! '

Chen Yan said:

"Of course, the server unit in the upper city is turned on today, and your consumables must be fully loaded."

Wish Voice Surprised:

'It turned out to be like this! '

Chen Yan said helplessly:
"You have such a wide field of vision, can't you find the reason yourself?"

Wish wronged:
'Isn't it just to show you the ghostly place under Mi Da!My eyes are sore after watching it all day!You still come to blame me! '

Chen Yan quickly apologized, hoping that the aggrieved tone would not continue to appear.

"How can you come out now? The server is closed?"

Wish to answer truthfully:

"The consumables are the stupid tiger, not me, I will withdraw when the time comes, the stupid tiger is so brave, let it feel uncomfortable there, anyway, I eat is equal to it eating, I come out to eat, it is better than being there with it Suffer strong! '

Wish's schizophrenia symptoms seem to be getting worse...

Chen Yan wiped off his sweat, temporarily unable to do anything about it, and changed the subject:
"By the way, I found a [recorder] in the attic this morning. She seems to have almost become the spirit of the universe."

Wish exclaimed:
'what?how is this possible! '

In order to save time, Chen Yan briefly told her what happened this morning, skipping the part about James Adams and Xanthium, picking out the part about Raz.

After listening to the wish, he said again and again as if he had suddenly realized: "That's how it is!" '
