Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist
Chapter 377
Chapter 377
After a moment of standby, Lawrence's phone was connected.
"Lawrence, good evening. I'm Chen Yan. I'm really sorry to bother you at such a late hour."
I don't know if it's Chen Yan's illusion. Since the last call, when Lawrence talked to him, there was always a trace of unnatural eagerness in his tone. That was a good friend——
Even the tone of speech that only "best friends" can have.
But Chen Yan obviously only had a working relationship with him, and the two of them had never even met each other.
Although Chen Yan did not understand this, it did not prevent him from taking this as his advantage.
"Mr. Chen, good evening, what's the matter?"
Lawrence's voice was still tired. It seemed that the operation of the zoo was not an easy task.
Especially after the director's server is turned on, the maintenance of the "hardware" in the zoo may make Lawrence's work more cumbersome and tiring.
Since he was very tired and needed to take a rest as soon as possible, in order to save time, Chen Yan explained the purpose of his visit straightforwardly:
"I would like to ask, regarding the status application of the Federal Bureau of Abnormal Biology Investigation, where is the progress?"
Helpless laughter came from the phone:
"Mr. Chen, you are really impatient... I just sorted out your information today and submitted it, and there will be no reply until tomorrow at the earliest."
Chen Yan was slightly disappointed:
"Is that so... I want to consult with you, how is the process of abnormal creature investigation carried out?"
He added in a "very concerned" tone:
"How is the reward calculated?"
In the dictionaries of many imperial people, there is no such context as "reserved". If you can't tell the truth, the conversation with them will often end in failure.
Lawrence quickly responded:
"The definition of bounty should be based on the results of the investigation, the level of detail, and the rarity of the abnormal creature. Sometimes the bounty is not necessarily money, but may be other things."
Chen Yan asked:
"What if it's a demihuman not recorded in the records?"
Lawrence replied:
"Is it a new Asian race? That is really a big discovery, no less than the discovery of a new species, and the reward may exceed the highest level specified."
Lawrence's next words poured cold water on Chen Yan:
"But there are almost no demi-humans in the world that have not been recorded by the General Administration of Anomalous Creatures Survey. Back then, the director used the [Demi-Human King's Eye] to look around the entire planet and recorded all the demi-humans he could see. "
"From that year...about 20 years ago, the investigators began to investigate the demihumans in this world according to the clues given by the director."
"To this day, those investigations have almost been completed—as far as the land of the empire is concerned, there are almost no unknown sub-human races."
Chen Yan heard the word "almost" added out of caution in Lawrence's words.
He asked: "What if this subhuman race only appeared in recent years?"
Lawrence replied: "The odds are extremely low.
Subhumans usually become what they are today through a long period of evolution—different from human superhumans who appeared for a short time, subhumans have existed for hundreds of thousands of years in the past, and their ecological systems have been perfected , and even the ecological niche is very clear. In this case, new races will not appear suddenly. "
Chen Yan said stubbornly: "What if it really appeared?"
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
After the silence, Lawrence's voice came again: "If you really discover a new sub-human race, it is equivalent to discovering a new ecological chain——beyond the existing ecological chain that has been confirmed to be closed. A new ecological chain - this will cause a major earthquake in the field of abnormal biology."
"And as the discoverer, you will be recorded in history!"
"The most important thing is that you will have priority investigation rights - this is the power given to you by the empire as an investigator of the Federal Bureau of Abnormal Biology Investigation. In extraordinary society, the priority of investigation rights is very high. of."
Chen Yan asked: "Are there any other benefits? Material."
Another two seconds of silence.
Lawrence's earnest voice came from the phone: "Mr. Chen, you are still young, you have a lot of time to improve yourself, and you don't need to waste your energy for some worldly money. Wait until you get enough achievements , When you are 30 or 40 years old, as long as you are worth enough, money will always come.”
Chen Yanwei said: "But if I don't want to make money now, I may go bankrupt soon-just earlier tonight, my kitchen was blown up by a gang member, and I almost died...so Now I really want to make a lot of money and move to a neighborhood with better security, so that I don’t have to live in fear every day.”
Lawrence was a little speechless: "Ah... Is that so... I'm so sorry..."
He went on to say: "I haven't lived in the human community for too long, and I don't know what the world has become like now. I shouldn't bind you with the demands I imagined..."
The adjective in Lawrence's sentence is very strange. It was also the first time that the two of them talked about Lawrence's life. He seemed unwilling to say more about this aspect, and quickly moved to other topics:
"As far as I know, the Federal Agency for the Investigation of Anomalous Biology has a listed fund dedicated to investigations. After the investigators apply, they will receive financial assistance from the fund pool-the successful application has not yet completed the [Sublimation Ceremony] You can get at least 5 pounds of investigation start-up funds."
£5...
Chen Yan quickly calculated in his mind, this time to find a regular construction team, repair the restaurant, electrify the apartment, install electric lights in each room, and re-make the waterproof and sunscreen layer for the attic... After this series of operations, it is estimated that Around 4 pounds.
In this way, there is only about 6 pounds left in my deposit.
After paying the personal tax, land tax, electricity and water bills next month, it is estimated that there will only be about 5 pounds left.
5 pounds is not a number that can give Chen Yan a sense of security.
If you become an investigator of the Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biological Investigations, use the shrimpman in the basement to successfully apply for the investigation form, and get 5 pounds of investigation start-up funds, you will have a deposit of about 15 pounds. Even if you buy breakfast and dinner every day, Can support the normal operation of the apartment...
"Thank you, Lawrence."
The voice on the phone is still warm:
"I hope you can go further on the extraordinary road, good night, Mr. Chen."
After saying goodnight to Lawrence, Chen Yan hung up the phone.
Lawrence's unreasonable intimacy made Chen Yan vigilant, because in his world view, there is no unreasonable intimacy in this world.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out what was going on with Lawrence.
Anyway, take that shrimp down first.
Chen Yan came to the long and narrow tool table, picked up a notebook full of various electrical symbols, and wrote on it with a rotten ballpoint pen:
"Hello, I'm Chen Yan, the owner of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street. I'm glad to find you. I don't intend to charge extra rent for the basement. I just want to make friends with you. "
It seems useless to just write these things. If the other party doesn't want to communicate with him, they can just run away.
So Chen Yan looked at the bookcase that occupied half of the wall on one side of the room.
Then write in the notebook:
"I am very interested in your collection of books and tools. I will borrow them for a while. I think you will not refuse your hospitality. Thank you in advance.
If anyone needs me, I'll open the door to the basement on the first floor again by this time tomorrow night.
Hope we can have a nice conversation. "
After he finished writing, he put the notebook board upright on the table, greeted Jack Baldo, and spent about an hour collecting the shrimp man's collection of books, tools, and the green [marshmallow] ore, Moved together from the basement to the first floor.
After finishing all this, he walked out of the small door in the basement, and the endless caves and waters once again gave him a new vision.
The white and shining water in the water area was exceptionally clear, so that Chen Yan could easily see the bottom of the water—at most it was more than one meter deep, not even reaching Chen Yan's waist.
There are even silver-white swimming fish at the bottom of the water, and those swimming fish are almost transparent. Chen Yan squatted by the water's edge and looked at it for a while, and found that there were no gray or black impurities in the bodies of these silver-colored swimming fish—this meant that the The transparent waters are clean and not polluted by sewage from the sewers.
He has no plans to explore deeper for the time being, and only waits for the shrimp people to contact him - he is sure that the shrimp people will do that.
He went back to the first floor of the apartment, found a discarded door panel and several boxes of heavy coal from the warehouse, covered the door panel over the hole leading to the basement, and pressed the box full of coal on the door panel, an ugly but practical The occluder is made in this way.
Glancing at his watch, the time has come to 11:23 in the evening.
After tossing all day, Chen Yan was also tired, said goodnight to Jack Baldo, and returned to the bedroom of Room 305.
Wish was still keeping vigil for him, and Chen Yan seemed to have gotten used to this kind of life, he fell headfirst on the bed, and within a few minutes came a heavy cry.
Wish looked out the window with serious eyes.
The ones who came the night before yesterday were shadow creatures, and the ones who came last night were [UFO] from the Moon Family. What will come tonight?
Wish sometimes does not understand what is going on with Chen Yan and why he is being targeted by so many people.
Until later, after she attributed everything that happened around Chen Yan to "luck", her doubts finally disappeared.
After waiting for a while, the midnight bell rang, and Wish looked up, and saw the "heightened" Moon Clock Tower in the city center—that thing is now being transformed into a very tall tower, almost hundreds of The erection assistance of meters and the high and scary tower cranes surround the high tower, making the high tower look like a miracle of holy light standing on the horizon.
Wish's view is quickly blocked by uninvited guests.
The uninvited guest tonight is not a monster, but it is much more terrifying than a vicious monster.
What appeared out of the window was a hunter.
