Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 387 The Beginning of a Busy Night

Chen Yan walked into the hall and looked at the ugly glutinous rice fruit.

"Glutinous rice fruit, you look like you need help."

Nuomi Guo handed him the newspaper, and he took a look, only to see a bold line on the front page of the newspaper:

"Shock!A university professor on the High Street has secretly ruled hundreds of female students during his 50-year tenure! "

"what is this?"

Nuomi Guo told him what happened this afternoon.

After hearing this, Chen Yan was a little surprised and said: "That is to say, after you printed 20 copies of the newspaper, the contents of the newspaper were still changed."

Glutinous Rice Fruit frowned and nodded.

Chen Yan wondered: "That's not right. It stands to reason that it was past four o'clock in the afternoon after the printing was completed. It is impossible to have more time to complete the writing, typesetting and printing of another edition."

Wolfe said on the side: "But it is true. We have bought newspapers at several newsstands on different streets just now, and they are all like this!"

He handed several newspapers to Chen Yan.

After Chen Yan finished watching, when he looked at the glutinous rice fruit again, his eyes had calmed down, and he said, "There is an extraordinary power intervening in it."

Wolfe said in surprise, "Mr. Chen, you know this too!"

Chen Yan waved his hand, signaling him to shut up, and then said: "This is not right, it's obviously aimed at you, it's best not to go out tonight, Ogami will be off work soon."

He hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Even if this matter is reported, I don't think it will be of much use."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

Nuomi Guo thought about the meaning of his words, remembered the whole incident, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Chen Yan.

When she saw the deep disgust in Chen Yan's downcast eyes, she understood what he was thinking.

Chen Yan lowered his head and turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned back and said:
"Do you still have the photo?"

Glutinous rice fruit looked at Wolfe.

Wolfe immediately took out a stack of photos from the backpack beside him:
"This is my dad's photo!"

Chen Yan looked at the bloody things in those photos, recalled the situation of Tom Reibert at that time, and thought of the last time he took great risks to report the incident of the steam bus company, and immediately stood in awe:

"Mr. Ribot is a respectable soldier. When he returns safely this time, I will definitely visit him."

Wolf heard that his father was praised. Although he didn't know the exact meaning of "warrior", he was still very happy, and his favor for Chen Yan soared.

He took the photo and said to the glutinous rice fruit:
"I can try it, but there's no guarantee it will work."

Hearing what Chen Yan said, the ugly look on Nuomi Guo's face disappeared, replaced by strong curiosity.

She didn't know that the landlord had such contacts.

Or maybe not through contacts, but in other... special ways?

Chen Yan went back to the bedroom on the third floor, locked the door, took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, and took the picture Wolf gave him.

'If the mobile phone is really the product of the [Mechanical Ascension Experiment] and is an extension of my body, then these photos taken by the mobile phone are equivalent to these photos [stored] in my [body]. '

he thought.

'Quantum entanglement allows my body and my quantum avatar to share everything, so the photos stored in my body should also appear in the...data of the quantum avatar? '

He couldn't wait to verify all this.

He sat on the bed, closed his eyes—

The next moment, in the server, Chen Yan opened his eyes.

He felt something more "in his body", he stretched out his "hand", and saw a chain composed of countless dark blue 0s and 1s, wrapping around his fingertips.

He waved his "finger" lightly, and the chains "interweaved" out of thin air to form a picture.

That image was exactly the same picture that Tom Raibert had taken of the violent clashes in the industrial zone.

Become!

He looks into the distance.

This time, there was more than one building in the white Internet time—beside the previous tall building, several smaller buildings appeared. Although they did not look as imposing as tall buildings, they were better than exquisite.

'More people have entered the online world... just don't know what kind of website those small buildings represent? '

In the area where several buildings are located, there is a ground that looks like asphalt, with clear road traffic markings drawn on the ground. Those markings are different from the road markings in Yanan City, and also from Chen Yan’s hometown. There is a big difference in road traffic markings.

'Everything is under construction...but, it is using a brand new rule that has not appeared in human history...how did the director know these things? '

Chen Yan came to the building, drilled into the ventilation duct with ease, and found some active rooms along the ventilation duct.

There are obviously many more active rooms in the building than before, and more people have appeared—about ten times more people than before. After the first test, they participated in the [New Dawn] project and entered the server.

Chen Yan thought to himself, since the director’s server is only opened in the Shangcheng District at this stage, then there must be some prominent people in this building—the elites in the Shangcheng District dominate Yanan City through various channels. Everything works, they are his possibility to solve this incident.

He wandered in the dark blue data stream, passing one room after another, and he found that the types of rooms were much richer than before. In addition to the ones he had seen before, there were also things like slot machines and musical instrument rooms. Even various simulators: rock climbing, hunting, shopping...

Chen Yan searched all the way along these rooms until he saw a large conference room connected by several rooms, where a group of people were discussing something intensely.

"I think it is feasible to subsidize the whole people, but who will pay for it? Your Ministry of Construction has no money, but our municipal government has money? The tax pool is only a small amount, and it is used to subsidize civilian use. What about citizens' social insurance? What about endowment insurance? Do you know how many people Yanan froze to death this winter? The social insurance fund pool will be emptied!"

"There's no need to cry about being poor. Everyone knows what the market is like this year. A few years ago, the shit-like market provided enough tax to build the entire downtown area. How can a market that has become so prosperous now not be able to afford subsidies? What about tech products?"

"These two things can't be confused at all. Our existing silicon mine can't even support the coverage of electronic equipment in the upper city. How can it be possible for the citizens of the entire Yanan City to use electronic equipment? There isn't enough ore to make raw materials, let alone finished products, and the whole thing is William Master's unrealistic figment, and we don't need to go crazy with him!"

……

When she learned that the director really had the idea of ​​"taking taxes to popularize the Internet", Chen Yan understood another thing:

The people in this meeting room are all so-called "big shots".

Chen Yan never had any expectations for these people, and he didn't have any belief that "you will succeed if you do it", but just wanted to give it a try:
He stretched out his finger and put the data represented by the photo into the "down" route of the ventilation duct linking this room.

The data representing the photo is integrated into the downstream data stream and entered into the room in the next moment.

Then, a bunch of photos suddenly appeared on the desktop in the conference room.

The heated discussion stopped abruptly.

"Huh? What is this?"

Chen Yan saw that they began to pick up the photos and examine them carefully.

"Fack, what is this? Where did it happen? An industrial area?"

"I've been to this factory...it's a parts factory, and the boss is a good citizen who abides by the law."

"Oh? Then the handful of money he handed to the policeman ended up in your hands?"

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"The police in Yanan City have just been handed over to you, and something like this happened. I think you need to give us an explanation."

"Heh, what are you pretending to be noble?"

"Shut up! You are a disgrace to the House!"

"I suggest that we organize a roundtable meeting right now to respond to this undeniably egregious incident, oh... those poor workers, they need to be compensated!"

"Let go of you... you dogs... are better than me..."

……

The insults that followed were too unpleasant to listen to. Chen Yan saw that he had achieved his goal, so he stopped staying and left the building along the data flow. He found an open space in the pale Internet world and closed his eyes.

At the same time, in this world, Chen Yan opened his eyes, got out of bed, and tidied his clothes.

Tonight must be very busy, Chen Yan didn't want to waste time, so he left the room, went down to the first floor, told Nuomi Guo roughly what he had done, and asked her to wait patiently.

Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will quickly ferment in unexpected ways.

Chen Yan thinks that perhaps tomorrow morning will be able to know the result of this matter.

Ohgami pushed the door open, he was in good spirits today, and even brought back dinner.

Chen Yan greeted the tenants and children to eat, but she sat in the lobby, looking at the phone screen with a little excitement.

Just now, a text message came to his mobile phone:
"Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biological Investigation Audit Notice:

Dear Mr. Chen Yan, congratulations on passing our company's identity approval and becoming a glorious anomalous creature investigator.

You will join us in making an indelible contribution to the safety of human life.

Items such as identity certificates and detailed notices will be delivered by logistics personnel tonight, please be ready to sign for receipt.

——Northern Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biological Investigation, Frontline Investigation Section, Chief of Section 9, Hanyu Karen"

This section chief...is my future boss?
Before he had time to think too much, a second text message came to Chen Yan's mobile phone soon.

"First Agent Lawrence:

Mr. Chen, are you surprised?

I learned from the director that there is a fast track to enter the approval process. Under the internal push of the director, the approval can be completed without your own identity verification—you don’t have to wait until Saturday.

Congratulations on becoming an anomalous creature investigator!

This part-time job can not only bring you great material benefits, but also open up new horizons for you, which will be a more precious treasure than material wealth.

Finally, congratulations! "

Why is Lawrence weird...

As soon as Chen Yan thought about it, there was a knock on the door of the apartment.

Is it something like ID sent?

So fast!
Chen Yanhuai went to open the door with excitement.

Outside the door was not a courier or courier or other logistics personnel, but a tall man with nothing in his hands, wearing a black windbreaker, almost over two meters tall.

"Hello."

The way the man spoke was extremely strange. His voice was vicissitudes, but his tone was like... a child who just learned to speak?

The man looked into Chen Yan's eyes, took out a piece of paper and showed it to him, and said:

"Northern Federal Bureau of Abnormal Biology Investigation, Criminal Investigation Section, please cooperate with the investigation."
