Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 398 [Song] in [Forbidden Fruit]

Chen Yan nodded and said: "Understood, I will take you with me."

Anthem 13 on the side said, "Mr. Chen must bring us along."

Chen Yan didn't want to be troublesome, but after experiencing the Raz incident, he became interested in the name of Anthem 13.

He did not directly agree to the request of Psalm 13, nor did he ask for a reason or bargain, but only said:
"A young man named Anselm once came to this apartment. He wanted to pursue the meaning of his own creation, so he doubted the Holy Light and further questioned his own existence.

His belief and love for the Holy Light made it impossible for him to bear such doubts in his heart.

So, he committed suicide. "

When Chen Yan was narrating, there was no expression on Hymn 13's face.

After Chen Yan finished speaking what he saw from Raz's record, Psalm 13 remained silent.

"I want a reason to take you with me."

He waited quietly for his reply.

The hymn is pronounced "Anzem" in the imperial language, and hymn 13 can be roughly read as "Sett Anzem", which already sounds like a personal name.

Chen Yan guessed in his heart that he was also a bionic person, and Anthem 13 should be the latest model of Anselm.

The inner curiosity is eager to let him know the production process of the model of "Anselm" and the origin of the technology for making this type of bionic.

When Anthem 13 was silent, Chen Yan took out his mobile phone casually, clicked on the notebook APP, turned to the fourth page, took a picture of him, entered the name "Sett Ansem", and opened recording.

When Anthem 13 spoke again, his words were completely recorded by the mobile phone.

"That was the first generation of Anselm, and it was also the Holy See's first attempt at [Forbidden Fruit]."

"About 30 years ago, an ascetic monk returned to the Holy See from the end of the world and brought back a magical creation called [Forbidden Fruit].

[Forbidden Fruit] Comes from the legend—it is said that at the origin of the world, the ancestors of humans created by the gods swallowed the forbidden fruit and gave birth to a new life.

After several years of research, the Academy of Sciences of the Holy See found that there is really a way to "breed new life" in the "Forbidden Fruit" - some missionaries heard the singing from the "Forbidden Fruit", and they said it was created by the Holy Light [Sanctuary] chanted by humans.

The choral group got the [forbidden fruit] that can sing the [song] created by the holy light, and regarded it as the supreme grace.

The Holy See Academy of Sciences gathered the smartest scientists in the empire to analyze the [chants] sung in an unknown language.

There were three groups of scientists, the first group were scientific researchers supported by the Holy See Academy of Sciences, the second group were professors from the Department of Extraordinary History of Imperial University, and the third group were scavengers from the General Administration of Anomalous Creatures Survey.

The three groups of people before and after almost all fell into the [Song], either turned into an unconscious body, or their consciousness collapsed into lunatics—they couldn’t bear the content of the [Song], and their consciousness was touching the edge of the [Forbidden Fruit]. In an instant, it collapsed. "

Here, Chen Yan interrupted:
"You only mentioned the Holy See from the beginning to the end-why is it the Holy See, not the Archbishop, and not the head of the choir?"

Psalm 13 makes no bones about it:

"As you've heard, the choir is not monolithic."

Chen Yan understood the meaning of his words, and was not surprised, just nodded:

"please continue."

Psalm 13 says:

"You are a greedy man."

He went on to say:

"The research has stagnated, and the high level of the Holy See is very dissatisfied, and has adopted many methods to analyze [Forbidden Fruit], but all of them have failed without exception."

"Until one day a bishop came up with a very old saying:

The Holy Light does not want dirty people to touch the [Forbidden Fruit], and those who have the qualifications to analyze the [Forbidden Fruit] are not knowledgeable bachelors, not extraordinary people with powerful extraordinary power, but believers of the Holy Light who have the purest beliefs. "

"This statement has the highest voice within the choral group, because it is most in line with the worship of the Holy Light belief, and it is also the closest to the miracles that have repeatedly occurred in the historical legends of the choral group."

"So, the Holy See drove the believers to touch the [Forbidden Fruit] one by one."

Chen Yan's eyelids twitched. At the moment when Psalm 13 said this sentence, Chen Yan already smelled a strong smell of blood between the lines of this sentence.

"Things have become very complicated. At that time, everyone was in danger, and no one wanted this kind of thing to happen to themselves—there is such a huge choral group that they can't even pick out a believer who truly believes in the Holy Light!"

Chen Yan heard the sarcasm in the words of hymn 13.

"But fortunately, this ignorant and bloody 'experiment' was quickly terminated - a 16-year-old boy was selected out, and he was the only one among the tens of thousands of believers of the Holy Light who, after touching the [Forbidden Fruit], No one had any adverse reactions."

"He is the first generation of hymns you have seen. He was bestowed the sacred name [Anzem] by the Holy See, and won the favor of the Holy Light—he received the power of the blessing of the Holy Light."

"In the days after that, a generation of Anselm and [Forbidden Fruit] stayed together day and night, and actually understood the content of [Song] in [Forbidden Fruit], and translated part of it into Imperial language and dedicated it to the Holy See."

"The Holy See obtained the knowledge in the [Forbidden Fruit] and used it on a generation of Anselm—they believed that he, the most devout, should be the first to receive the blessing of the Holy Light and accept the transformation of the knowledge in the [Forbidden Fruit]."

"Thus, a generation of Anselm is no longer human."

When Chen Yan heard such a simple and rude conclusion, it was as if he suddenly choked while eating, and when he ate half of the apple, he suddenly saw that the second half was broken, and said angrily:

"Turn my appetite, huh?"

Psalm 13 does not deny:

"If I continue to talk, I will lose my use value to you."

Chen Yan had to clarify himself:

"I'm not that kind of person."

Hymn 13 paused for a full three seconds before continuing:

"I once heard news that the [Forbidden Fruit] was brought back from the [Wildness] by the ascetic monk back then—this is the reason why I want to go to the [Wildness]."

"[Wildness] is a place where living and undead are mixed, the space there is very unstable, and there are space cracks everywhere."

"If you take me into the wilderness and keep me safe, I can not only help you identify the location of the rift so that you don't fall into it, but also tell you what happened to Anselm afterwards."

Chen Yan nodded:

"Sufficient chips."

He said:
"Did you just say 'we'?"

When the voice fell, he looked at the bald man.

"Your chips are not enough to exchange tickets for two people."

The bald man's mung bean-sized eyes were flickering. After seeing Chen Yan, he spoke for the first time:

"I can make a deal with you. I have some very valuable ores that can generate electricity. I know that electricity is very expensive on your side!"

It's... Snake Kiss Rock!

The bald man spoke very rough, the facial features on his ugly face and the dirty grooves between the skin seemed to outline the words "bad heart" on his face.

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"You are the pirate of the Smokey Lake."

The bald man smiled hehe:
"The deal is fair, we don't even have room to resist, everything depends on you."

Chen Yan asked:

"What is your purpose in entering [Wildness]?"

The bald man looked at his eyes that were not joking at all, was silent for a moment, and replied:
"I want to turn back into a human... [Wildness] has rules for converting undead like us into living beings."

Chen Yan looked at Hymn 13, frowned and said:

"Did you make him believe the outrageous thing of bringing the dead back to life?"

Psalm 13 does not explain this, except to say:
"Mr. Chen, you have reason to doubt this."

The implication is that you don't have to believe it, but we can also believe what we want to believe.

It doesn't take much energy to carry these three parts with him, and the deal with them is a stable and profitable deal with no cost, and Chen Yan can't think of a reason to refuse.

"Then, I'll take you with me."

He glanced over the three of them.

"But I won't go too far for the first time, and once I encounter danger, I will retreat immediately-I am just a trading partner, telling you these things, not discussing with you."

After he finished talking to them, he turned off his spirit vision, picked them up, and put them in the breast pocket of his jacket.

Since they were unable to move, they did not pose any threat to Chen Yan. After putting them in his jacket pocket, Chen Yan ignored them.

He took out his phone, turned off the recording, and saw the name "Sett Anselm" appear on the fourth page of the notebook—this was Hymn 13.

The photo of Psalm 13 is a "spirit emerging from the memory stick", and under the photo is what he just said.

Chen Yan swiped the screen down, and he could see that the narration of Anthem 13 was completely recorded on the phone.

After clicking the "Next Page" button, the notebook APP switched to the fifth page, and he saw the name of "Vivienne Mogwen", the photo of "the spirit body emerging from the capacitor" next to the name, and her appearing below if.

Click on the next page again to go to the sixth page of the APP. The page only shows the photo of Baldy's "spiritual body emerging from the capacitor" and the two sentences he said, but the name column is empty. Yan thought for a while, but did not enter the code name "baldy".

Chen Yan remembered that in the letter he received from the North Bureau, it was written that the investigation record of abnormal creatures is one of the important evaluation criteria for the investigators of the North Bureau, and the salary of the investigator is also linked to the completeness and richness of the investigation records— —He needs to put Baldy's real name on it.

He has collected 6 abnormal creatures now, how much salary can it be converted into?
He looked at the [Upload Synchronization] button on the main page of the notebook APP, and thought to himself, according to the rules stated in the letter, the investigation records should be uploaded before every Sunday night. Once the upload is successful, the salary of the North Bureau will issued.

Today is Thursday, more than half of this week has passed, and according to the progress of his investigation, he doesn't know how much he will be able to send next Monday.

If the investigator gets a good salary, Chen Yan is going to remodel the apartment again—first replace a security door, then renovate the dining room, and wait until the shrimp people get the Snake Kiss Rock, then electrify the entire apartment and build a new one New furniture and appliances -

This must have cost a lot of money.
