Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 38 Shadow
Chen Yan felt that this person was very strange, he didn't want to stay here any longer, put the medicine in his pocket, turned and left.

What he couldn't see was that his shadow elongated by the neon lights outside the shop stretched out his hand.

That hand, towards the young man, made a middle finger.

A vein popped up on the young man's white forehead.

"Wait a moment, sir."

Before Chen Yan stepped out of the store, the young man's voice came from behind again.

Chen Yan turned his head.

"Sir, there seems to be something wrong with your shadow."

Chen Yan looked down and saw his shadow on the patterned floor in the pharmacy, which looked strange.

The entire shadow is unusually wide, without the outline of arms and body, as if... wearing a cloak.

The shadow's head seemed to be wearing a hat with feathers, and Chen Yan could even see the texture of the feathers.

But he didn't wear any hat, let alone put on any cape.

"what is this!"

Chen Yan felt his hair stand on end, and subconsciously waved his hand.

The shadow didn't move!

The boy from the pharmacy was still staring at the shadow on the ground, and at some point in his right hand appeared a thin short stick that was as long as a forearm, and the tip of the short stick pointed to the shadow's head.

The next moment the young man moved, the lights inside and outside the pharmacy suddenly went dark.

Chen Yan felt the temperature around his body drop suddenly, and the windbreaker on his body could no longer keep out the cold.

Then, a voice appeared in the pharmacy.

"Boy of the Green family, do you want your old man to collect your body?"

The voice surrounded the pharmacy, and it could only be heard that it was a middle-aged man.

The young man obviously had no fear at all, and an electric arc flashed from the tip of the short stick in his hand.

"You can try it."

He is not afraid.

The arc twisted and swung at the tip of the short stick, so that the air around the arc was slightly deformed.

Chen Yan thought, the temperature of the arc must be very high.

The strange thing is that facing such a strange scene, he didn't feel any surprise in his heart.

After experiencing the weirdness in the zoo, the scene in front of him can only be said to be ordinary.

At the same time, the words of Zoo Hunter Wilson appeared in Chen Yan's mind.

[When you come into contact with people like us, the rest of your life will be difficult. There will always be one thing or another that will haunt you, and you will be exhausted in order to live. 】

Chen Yan wondered if this sentence could be simply summed up as: [When the weirdness appears, more weirdness will appear one after another].

Just like what happened in front of you.

Buying a medicine can also meet these... extraordinary things...

The confrontation between the two in the pharmacy is still going on.

The young man stared at the shadow, his young face was full of confidence:

"Dirty things, you don't need other people to take action, you will also become my trophy."

The two confronted each other, saying harsh words, but neither made a move.

From the two of them, Chen Yan couldn't feel the weirdness like in the zoo at all.

Maybe it's because Chen Yan is used to it?
The scene in front of him is at least more harmonious than the scene where the viscera and limbs are flying around in the zoo... right?

Now, surrounded by the rigid atmosphere of the drugstore, Chen Yan feels very awkward.

"That...you guys talk first, I'll go first?"

Shadow responded immediately: "Let's go."

Chen Yan: "I mean I'm leaving, not you...don't follow me, okay?"

Chen Yan had no idea where this ghost thing came from!
The young man was very excited about the shadow's reaction:
"Are you going to hurt civilians? Don't forget the [Pact of No War]! I am obliged to sanction any Transcendent who hurts civilians!"

Shadow sneered: "I didn't mean to hurt him, I just wanted to investigate our matter... I'll warn you again, kid, don't mind your own business."

Chen Yan saw that this ghost was going to play tricks, and for the sake of his own life, he knew that he couldn't do it hard, so he could only bite the bullet and ask:
"What are you investigating? Maybe I can help."

Before the shadow could speak, the young man was the first to issue a warning:

"Don't communicate with it too much, the Moon Family will take the initiative to synchronize with people's consciousness, don't let it know anything about you, because it will master your consciousness through dreams!"

This shadow...is also the family of the moon!
Chen Yan suddenly understood what the shadow was going to investigate.

After the young man finished speaking, he still looked uneasy, and the tip of the short stick in his hand flashed with electric arcs, warning the shadow again:
"[The Promise of No War]! Don't forget the [Promise of No War]!"

Shadow sneered: "The idiot of the Green family, this guy is not a commoner...he just looks like an ordinary person."

Chen Yan didn't know what he meant, but he still took the initiative to speak:

"I'm really sorry."

The phrase 'I'm really sorry' has a wide range of uses in the Imperial language context.

Intruding someone, making a request of your own, offending someone, and... grieving the loss of someone else's loved one.

What Chen Yan wants to express is the last one.

He went on to say:
"First, let me ask... how did you find me? How did you know I met Vivian?"

Shadow whispered, "You haven't showered after get off work, let alone changed your clothes, have you?"

Chen Yan nodded.

The shadow said: "You have the bloody smell of Vivienne on your body, but the bloody smell is not strong, nor does it carry violence... This means that you didn't attack her."

This is true.

Chen Yan was quite surprised that the Moon Family could smell so many things from the smell of blood...

Is this ability unique to the Moon Family, or...as long as they are extraordinary?
Chen Yan didn't have that much time to think, and the shadow was obviously not a good person, so he had to say something.

In order to prevent the shadow from being able to tell the truth from the tone, Chen Yan told the truth.

"Vivienne has been completely corrupted, she has become... very bad."

He used a slightly sad tone, because he tacitly agreed that the shadow was Vivienne's family.

In Chen Yan's cognition, "families" are roughly equivalent to the same clan.

People from the same ethnic group are naturally family members.

After he finished speaking, Shadow's tone changed.

There is no sadness in its tone, but some hidden urgency in the suppressed irritability:
"She has rotted, I know it's none of your business, the bastards of the choral group have tampered with her blood, this is our grievance...

Please rest assured that after knowing the truth, I will leave you. "

It then asks:
"What happened to her at the zoo...?"

Chen Yan realized that this was its ultimate goal.

He became wary for no reason.

Hearing the word "zoo", the young man surnamed Green raised his eyebrows as if he had a stress disorder, and looked at Chen Yan with complicated eyes.

He realized that Chen Yan came from a zoo, so he was probably an employee of that zoo.

The employees of the zoo... Although they are ordinary people, they are indeed different from normal ordinary people.
