Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 413 Deep Despair
The darkness on the second floor of the mansion was even thicker than the outside, so that when the figure and fire appeared in front of Chen Yan, they were already less than 3 meters away from him.

Flame within 3 meters?

Didn't the mouse just say that the members of the Powder Keg Gang have separated?What's the matter with this kind of fire that can only appear when the light sources are gathered together?Did they meet without the mouse knowing?

Or... are the mice lying?
Or maybe... the one who talked to him just now was not a mouse at all!

While he was thinking, several people on the other side also sensed the flames of him and the mouse, and turned around to look at him and the mouse.

During this period, Chen Yan finally saw clearly that standing in front of him was not only Ryan Gamma, but also Maier, Chris, and... the mouse!

There is also a mouse on the opposite side!

Which is true?Which is fake?
Chen Yan's loaded Skylark-300 has already hit the back of the head of the mouse in front of him!

"Ha ha."

The mouse with its back to Chen Yan let out a low chuckle.

At the same time, Ryan Gamma, Maier, and Chris on the opposite side raised the corners of their mouths and snickered.

"Ha ha."

Grass!
None of them are human!
For a moment, a thought appeared in Chen Yan's head:
These "things" were the source of the "human aura" mentioned by the mouse when he first came to the second floor!

The fear that filled the whole brain made Chen Yan pull the trigger suddenly.

"Bah!"

The bullet with blue sparks exploded the moment it hit the back of the "mouse"'s head, and the gunpowder exploded the skull, and the ability given by the "Conviction Law" reduced the "life" in the skull caused by unknown forces.

The "mouse"'s head exploded in the next moment, but his body turned around as if nothing had happened, and suddenly rushed towards Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was caught off guard and suddenly backed away, but because he had never experienced such a thing before, his steps were unsteady and he fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the Skylark-300 in his hand had already fired a second shot at the "mouse" in the chest.

"Bah!"

The second bullet exploded the "rat"'s chest and choked his pounced forward.

Chen Yan seized this precious time, leaned on the ground to support his body, got up in embarrassment, and rushed out in the opposite direction.

There was the sound of running footsteps behind him. The speed of those things was obviously very fast. Chen Yan even felt from the footsteps from behind that as long as he slowed down by half a beat, he would be caught by the collar immediately!

Running fast consumes a lot of his physical strength. If his body hadn't been strengthened by the extraordinary, he might have lost his strength long ago.

While running, he shot backwards, and every time he fired a shot, there would be a strange howl behind him, and the sound of footsteps would immediately disappear.

It wasn't until the third shot that the sound of footsteps running behind finally disappeared.

But Chen Yan didn't dare to stop running, because the darkness can swallow sound, and he didn't know whether the footsteps swallowed by the darkness really went away, or were only a few meters behind.

After running desperately for about 5 minutes in the dark, Chen Yan finally couldn't hold on and stopped.

He slumped against the bookcase next to him, pricking up his ears to listen to the surrounding movement in extreme vigilance.

And the darkness seemed to be so quiet, all sounds disappeared, and the whole world was so quiet that Chen Yan could hear his own heartbeat clearly.

'After running so far, why haven't I seen the stairs leading to the first floor? '

'They know that one can't deal with me, so they lead me to their group! '

'What the hell are they?Is it 【Desolation】?Doesn't [Desolation] not only exist in the dark? ! '

'Have they given up catching up? '

'What is their purpose...? '

Chen Yan's thoughts were chaotic and his state was bad, but the threat in the darkness was still there, and the threat must have happened suddenly—the darkness could swallow the sound, and when the sound appeared in front of him, the danger was very close to him.

'I... I'm still too reckless, if I use these bookshelves...

I...maybe try to communicate with these bookshelves, and see what is in the bright light ahead from the perspective of the bookshelves. '

'But what if... what if these bookshelves contain [unknown knowledge] that I can't bear?In that case, maybe at the moment of synaesthesia, I will lose control and go crazy. '

'Damn it, why do you think so much, I have no way out now, I will die sooner or later, why not give it a try! '

He was silent for a moment, took off his gloves, and kept a firm thought in his heart:
'I want to see everything that's happening around me in 1 minute. '

When his hand touched the bookshelf, synaesthesia occurred, and his vision suddenly went dark.

'59...58...'

The darkness was deep and cold, Chen Yan gritted his teeth against the invasion of the cold and fear, silently counted down to sixty, and then his vision turned back, the faint flame of the kerosene lantern at his waist dispelled all the deep cold in an instant.

'feasible! '

'Damn, why didn't I think of it just now? '

'However, for actual combat, the situation is more complicated and depends on the situation. '

'In short, play by ear. '

Chen Yan glanced at the completely silent darkness behind him.

'They may still be chasing me...I have to keep moving. '

He stood up with his numb legs and continued walking in the direction he came from.

Unknowable things can be encountered at any time in the dark, and apart from the Skylark-300 in his hand, Chen Yan can only rely on that illusory luck.

He cheered himself up and pinched his watch at the same time. After walking in the dark for 10 minutes, he still didn't see the downward stairs leading to the first floor.

'This is not normal...'

'The second floor... may have changed without my knowledge. '

'If I can't get to the first floor, I can't even get out of the mansion, let alone out of the wilderness. '

"No matter what... keep moving, only by keeping moving, can I see as much as possible the real situation here, and get more opportunities..."

Fortunately, after completing the promotion, his spirit is good enough. Even if his physical strength is a little weak and his body is exhausted, he can still use this spirit to maintain enough vigilance in the dark.

He comforted himself that his situation was not too bad, there were still two bullets left in the Skylark-300, if used properly, it would be enough for him to kill two enemies.

And the other captured gun... Chen Yan was very suspicious, could the ordinary bullets in that gun cause damage to things in the dark?

He has some regrets, but regrets are useless. He can only remember in his heart that he must always remember to bring more empowered bullets from the Lark-300 on his body, so that he will not be able to avoid them in the next emergency. Not even enough bullets.

He continued to move until he passed between the bookshelves at the next corner, and without any warning, a tiny, almost invisible, dim light of fire appeared in front of him.

He was startled in vain, his thoughts turned, he took off his gloves, touched the bookshelf beside him, and thought desperately in his mind:

'I want to see everything that just passed by this bookshelf! '

The next moment, he and the bookshelf had a synesthesia, and his vision suddenly went dark.

The oppressive sticky darkness covered the entire field of vision, and the absolute silence in the darkness almost made one's spirit collapse. Chen Yan realized for the first time that looking directly at the darkness itself can be so terrifying.

He waited patiently, because no matter how long it took for the vision produced by synaesthesia, the time in reality is only a moment, and he has enough patience to wait.

After more than 50 seconds of heart-wrecking, a fire appeared in the field of vision in front of him without warning.

In the light of the fire was Mel's expressionless face.

The loner without any expression... Will it be the next trap?
Chen Yan can't afford to gamble!
When Maier passed "in front" of him and his back was about to disappear, the synaesthesia time ended.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yan pointed the loaded Lark-300 at a position about ten centimeters above the faint fire in front, and pulled the trigger.

"Bah!"

There was a horrific scream in the darkness,

Chen Yan took a step——

The mutilated Maier appeared in front of him!
A big hole was blown out of Maier's chest by the empowered bullet, and a small part of his body that fell to the ground had sunk into the floor—his dilapidated body was not strong enough to support the weight of flesh and blood organs, so that part of the inside had been "eaten" by the floor , it looks like half of the human body has been turned into some kind of fertilizer.

He was "swallowed" at a very slow speed.

The other weirdness is that a book appeared in his damaged chest—the book seemed to "grow" out of his chest using his flesh and bones as materials.

'If the monster is injured to this extent, it won't be paralyzed like this... Maybe this Maier is real? '

Chen Yan maintained a skeptical attitude and kept a distance from Maier.

Maier's only remaining eye saw Chen Yan, grinned, and made an almost inaudible sound.

"Oh shit……"

Huh?
seems like a real...

Chen Yan quickly came to him, stepped on his still good hand, and twisted it hard.

Maier let out a weak scream, and his entire palm turned into something like "soil". When Chen Yan stepped on it, the palm "fused" directly into the floor.

'Injuries...can speed up the rate at which you get eaten by the floor. '

Chen Yan kicked his head away again, and watched the floor eat half of his head before reaching out with confidence and taking out the book in his chest.

Chen Yan thought that he would feel uncomfortable when he did these things, because he was never a violent person, and he never tortured anyone with bloody means, let alone thought that he would use such "cruel" means to deal with it in his lifetime. other people.

But when Chen Yan decided to do these things based on his own safety, he didn't feel any sympathy for Maier on the ground in his heart. He kicked those two feet with all his strength, and he was completely rushing to kill him.

On the cover of the book was impressively written a row of imperial characters in "A Record of Ominous Visions".

This is……

Chen Yan remembered that when Maier first told about "Turazan, Earl of Mudstone Sea", he didn't have this book in his hand, and according to Ryan Gamma's ridicule at the time, the contents of the book may be completely Made up by Maier himself—from Maier's extraordinary abilities.

Is Maier's organ of inspiration the brain?Or a specific part of the brain?

In any case, now, this book really appeared in front of Chen Yan, and was held in Chen Yan's hand.

Turning to the first page, you can still see the content recorded on it, and the weird illustrations that match the content.

This book...is the rule fragment transformed from Maier's ability by the power of the wilderness!
This book is completely different from the regular fragments of [Creature Painting] by Earl Turazan of the Mudstone Sea, perhaps because the latter is too far away from the present time, and it itself has been broken and broken, not enough to have a form, but can only be formed in the form of crystals. exists in fragments.

Standing beside Maier, Chen Yan watched Maier die in just 1 minute—the "floor" "ate" him bit by bit, from toes to hair tips, from muscles to mucus, everything Tap a little to quickly "swallow".

After a while, looking at the flat ground, Chen Yan suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't that the stairs from the second floor to the first floor were gone, but that the first floor had been "eaten" by the wilderness and didn't exist anymore.

He subconsciously looked at his watch.

At this time, an hour had passed since they entered the wilderness.
