Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 373 Bacterial Civilization
《I'm so panicked, is my sleepwalking because of spores?But how can spores cause sleepwalking?
Is it...

Does the spore carry some kind of pathogenic element?

I had no choice but to go to the school doctor. No one in this school wants to go to the school doctor, because the school doctor is a professor of abnormal biomedicine. He is a guy who makes goosebumps all over his body just by looking at him. I heard that her medical room It is filled with the skulls of various creatures...

Why do I think so much... I don't seem to be sober...

Regardless, I had to get therapy. "

Wish vividly described the student's record, so detailed between the lines that Chen Yan thought it was written by herself.

But her identity as the spirit of the universe guarantees the authenticity of her narrative, and Chen Yan has no reason to doubt her words.

"Professor Hugh Peterman did a detailed examination for me...

The inspection process was surprisingly good...though that didn't change the fact that she was scary.

She told me that I was just too tired and too excited to work so hard that my brain couldn't rest, so the symptoms of sleepwalking occurred.

is this real?
She helped me perform hypnosis, and I had an unimaginable dream. In the dream, I... In short, I experienced very beautiful things.

After waking up from the dream, I felt a little tired physically, but my spirit was much more comfortable than before. "

Wishes come to a halt here.

'His record so far is pretty normal. '

'What's unusual is that the next thing I found, it was his autopsy report. '

Before Chen Yan could speak, Wish said first:
'I have confirmed that the time of the autopsy report is the morning after the last record. '

’ That means he probably died the day he got back from the school doctor and was taken for an autopsy that night. '

'There is this post-mortem report, which shows that people in the academy have noticed him—or maybe he has been noticed by someone when he went to the medical room. '

'The autopsy report reads:'

"Name: Wilke Young
Gender: Asexual (gender characteristics at time of death)

Age: 21 at the time of enrollment, the bone age has been detected to be over 1000 years old

Cause of death: Brain withering induced by bacterial infection

Remark 1: Wilke Young had already lost his sex when he died, his male organs had "degenerated" to a certain extent, and his bones had undergone serious "bacteriatization", if those bacteria were observed and defined , and its history can even be traced back to the night of the blood moon thousands of years ago.

Remark 2: Wilke Young's assistant, spherical Tungus (Truetheria, Lepidoptera, Tungusko, Tungus) appeared on the autopsy operating table and took away a piece of Wilke Young's throat Although, according to Professor Hugh Peterman, this creature has evolved to a certain extent and has a high IQ.

Remark 3: Wilk Young's body had "malignant bacterial transformation" at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. Because the process was too intense, the morgue had to initiate a destruction plan and burned Wilk Young's body. His body After incineration, proteinaceous ashes from the incineration of the fungal organisms are left behind. "

After saying the wish, he drank the tea on hand in one breath, and continued:

'After the death of this Wilk Young, the school investigated the hole he dug, and found a huge space under the hole--poor Wilk Young, he was too unlucky, he The huge space under the pit dug is exactly connected to the deep hole where the Rice University Research Institute discarded the [Laboratory where Mutation Cracks Occurred]. '

'The later records are not many. '

There is some regret in the wish tone.

'I guess the school encrypted what happened next so I couldn't see those records in the library. '

'I'll tell you what I can see, what I've said about the matter afterward:

The Wilke Young incident was quite a big deal, because no one could have predicted that it would turn out like this.

When the school realized the seriousness of the matter, everyone knew about the incident.

The students in the school were very panicked, and some even developed sleepwalking, and the sleepwalking became contagious. Drugs for sleeping.

Unfortunately, for unknown reasons, the drug went wrong.

The students who took these drugs did not stop sleepwalking at first.

But as soon as the drug is stopped, the symptoms of sleepwalking will appear immediately.

What's even more frightening is that after taking this drug for a period of time, some students developed symptoms of schizophrenia and developed a "subpersonality", and some students' subpersonality even killed the main personality and replaced it!
The University of Midland closed the school at that time, and no one knew what happened when the school was closed.

Later people only knew that when the school closure ended, everything returned to normal. '

Wish looked at Chen Yan's shining eyes and said:
'I was very curious about this, so I went down to have a look by myself—the hole dug by Wilke Young had indeed been filled up, and it was filled with cement. It is impossible for bacterial spores to come out of there Out. '

Chen Yan immediately said:

"But one of my colleagues once said that when she graduated last year, she had the sleepwalking symptoms you just mentioned. After taking the medicine, the symptoms were indeed relieved, but once the medicine was stopped, the sleepwalking symptoms would reappear immediately. .”

He thought of all that Alice had said to him that Monday afternoon.

"And, exactly as you said, she did split into two different personalities!"

There is a thoughtful tone in Wish’s voice:
'It's the conductor. I've noticed her a long time ago. It turns out that's how her two personalities came about. I said why it's so strange. '

'She also graduated from the University of Medaille, so that makes more sense. '

wish said:

'I personally swam a few times underground this time, only to finally see that the [Variation Rift Laboratory] that was thrown underground by the people from the Rice University Research Institute was dug out! '

'A few years ago, didn't Yanan City plan to build a subway?

The construction team hired by the municipal government took hoes and pickaxes and dug it up. The cracks of the mutation infected the surrounding space. Later, the mutation happened frequently, and the construction of the subway stopped. '

'That Alice's luck is too bad, there should be very few spores coming out of the subway, why is she infected? '

Chen Yan digested the series of events mentioned by the wish, slapped his forehead, and said:

"These things you said, and the condition when we first started the conversation - [the new world under the ground appeared suddenly] - is it because the rift was discarded, so the new world was created?"

Wish patted him on the shoulder, as if he saw his puppy making a "worship" action without being trained, and said happily:

'Yeah!The new underground world came from the other side of the rift, and I don't know where it came from. It turned out to be [Bacterial Biological Civilization]!Even when I was the spirit of the universe, I never saw it! '

Wish excitedly said:
'If you study biology, you should understand that the probability of bacterial organisms producing intelligence is too small. Even after a long period of evolution, they have only been on the evolutionary path of [strengthening reproduction], and have not appeared intelligence, let alone forming 【civilization】. '

'Only you human beings, just evolve, and come up with such fancy things as [civilization].

Other organisms don't have to deal with these twists and turns. Look at bacterial organisms. They are on the road of strengthening [reproduction] all the way to the dark. They live for [reproduction] wholeheartedly, and the meaning of life is for [reproduction]! '

Chen Yan felt a little uncomfortable because of the weird theory of wishes, but he couldn't find anything wrong with her remarks, so he could only scratch his head and feel uncomfortable for a while, before saying:

"The sacrificial knife I got is also a product of this... [Bacterial Civilization]? Wait a moment."

Chen Yan went back to the third floor and took out the bone sacrificial knife from under the bed, and went back to the dining room.

"Look at this, it's obviously a skeleton of a medium-sized beast, right? This is almost exactly the same as the elbow joint of a mammal in a textbook."

There was some rare surprise in the voice of wishing:

'Oh shit?That's true! '

She went on to say excitedly:
'Perhaps, this thing is the reason why the [Bacterial Civilization] underground turned into ruins! '

Chen Yan immediately guessed:
"You mean, the monster with this kind of bone in the ground is hostile to [Bacteria Civilization], was killed by the Bacteria Civilization, and took this bone as a spoil for sacrifice?"

Wish affirmed:
'It's very possible! '

Chen Yan pondered for a moment before speaking again:
"In any case, the city of [Bacterial Civilization] has turned into ruins. Even if the bacterial spores still exist and can affect the present world, we have no way of knowing what that strange civilization looked like back then."

After he finished speaking, he continued:

"I remember you saw some figures in the ruins underground? What did those people do? How dare you sneak into such a dangerous place alone?"

Wish spread out his hands where he couldn't see:

'Maybe they're out of their minds. '

Chen Yan looked at the air where the wish was, and said in a deep voice:

"You said, is there a possibility that those figures are the next stage of [bacterial organisms] evolution?"

Wish was silent for a few seconds before replying:
'It seems that there is no such possibility. '

Chen Yan turned to ask:
"By the way, Ohgami also discovered a group of people who can transform themselves into [blood-thirsty strains] last night. Could those people be related to the underground [bacterial civilization]?"

Wish immediately responded:
'Ah, you are talking about the Spring God Secret Order, right?Those dazed people are not bacterial creatures, they are real human beings—they are so weird here, good people are not suitable, they have to be bacteria!Isn't this degeneration! '

When Chen Yan thought about it, he felt a bit of shit at the time, because the wish was right, the life form of bacteria could not be more advanced than that of humans, and the bodies of Gottlind and his group could already change into the form of bacteria, isn't it? Has it degenerated?
Just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly darkened.

The long string of kerosene lamps overhead suddenly went out.

The whole apartment was plunged into darkness.
