Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 435 Past events in the center of the earth ([-]): Into the darkness
Before this conversation started, Chen Yan thought about a question.

Spherical Tunguska was infected by an unknown underground strain, and Wilke Young was also infected.

The school closure of the University of Rice more than ten years ago was also due to the proliferation of bacterial strains, which caused a large-scale infection of students——Wilke Young himself and his spherical Tunguska were the ones carrying the pathogenic strains.

Now, the spherical Tunguska has appeared on the surface again, but there is no large-scale sleepwalking incident in Yanan City-this kind of thing cannot be hidden, and the speed of news spread among the market is very fast. A large number of newspapers with extremely serious involution also like to report this kind of "bizarre incidents" that can attract people's attention without offending big shots.

Therefore, Chen Yan can basically determine that the bacterial strain on the spherical Tunguska is no longer contagious.

"I noticed that the strain on your body is no longer active."

After Chen Yan said these words, Tungus Spherical was obviously taken aback, and there was actually melancholy in his tone.

"Ah... yeah, I don't know when it started, those dirty things no longer have any effect on life other than me, I became their only container..."

Hearing this explanation, Chen Yan became more and more curious about the changes in the spherical Tunguska.

Chen Yan guessed that there are two possibilities for the change of the bacterial strain in Tungus sphere.

One is that the strain loses its activity and dies biologically.

The other is that the physiological structure has changed, and "variant assimilation" has appeared. In this case, the relationship between the parasitic strain and the host is transformed into "symbiosis" and the ability to infect is lost.

No matter which kind of change it is, it will eventually cause the strain to lose its ability to infect. Even if the spherical Tunguska appears on the surface of Yanan City where a large number of mortals gather as it does now, it will not cause large-scale sleepwalking.

Although the spherical Tunguska possesses wisdom, its expressive ability is not good, and it seems a bit incoherent when telling some key information. It took Chen Yan a lot of effort to understand what it was telling.

Back then, Wilke Young died from being infected with the strain, but the spherical Tunguska who was also infected with the strain from the underground survived.

Perhaps because the structure of human beings is different from the animals in Tungusko, the spherical Tunguska was not eaten by the strain, but became a symbiont with the strain in a certain sense.

As long as you eat on time, you won't get mentally out of control due to strains.

"Sorry, I have to interrupt here."

Chen Yan said here:

"I know that strain can affect your brain, and according to what you said, under special circumstances—for you, the strain's effect on your brain is positive, right?"

The spherical Tunguska anomaly affirmed:

"Yes, my existence itself is the best proof."

Chen Yan took out his mobile phone, opened the notebook APP, turned to the latest page, took a photo of it as his avatar, and typed "Records of Abnormal Ecological Research on Spherical Tunguska Caused by Infection of Unknown Bacteria" at the top of the page, and opened the Record button.

Chen Yan turned off the flash and camera sound this time, so although the spherical Tungus felt surprised, he didn't know what he was doing.

"please continue."

Spherical Tunguska continued to eat the food on the plate slowly, and said slowly:
"I was young, I didn't understand anything, I was just scared to death... I wanted to live, so I took Wilk's throat. With this thing, I can ask humans for help."

It let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"At least, that's what I thought at the time."

Perhaps the strain has modified its brain, and its intelligence has been enhanced by constant eating.

It soon discovered that as long as it ate enough food, the strain would not feed on its body—after some verification, Tungus Spheroid was able to confirm that this strain was not a picky eater and would eat almost anything.

Horrible omnivores.

Spherical Tunguska is also omnivorous, and it knows how powerful omnivores are. For animals, "omnivorous" means that all other creatures can be food.

Including it as a symbiote.

After the spherical Tungus got Wilke Young's throat, he first went to find the people from the Department of Anomalous Biology at the University of Michigan.

It is very cautious, but it still almost became a test object that can be dissected at will - people don't care whether they can help it, they only care about the abnormality that happens to it - a mutant spherical Tunguska with high intelligence, such a discovery is enough Let a researcher be included in the history of Miskatonic University.

And the school history of the University of Medaille is usually regarded as a real history with a high reference value by future generations-this is a great honor.

Fortunately, it was lucky enough to escape from Mida even though it was injured.

The injury made it hungry.

At that time, there was no subway built around the University of Midland, and no subsequent supernatural events occurred. As one of the universities with the longest history on the high street, the school districts around the University of Midland were very popular in Yanan City.

A large number of middle-class and rich people bought properties here, which led to business prosperity here, and also led to spherical Tunguska being able to find food in the trash can even on cold winter nights.

It hid in the sewer during the day to fight rats and snakes, and at night it came out to pick up food from the trash can. This lasted for several months.

Until one day, it heard a voice.

At that time, it didn't know that the sound came from the depths of the ground, from the [City of Overlapping Mountains] it arrived later.

It panicked because it knew that the sound might not be heard by its own ears, but by the strains in its head.

"That voice was guiding me, telling me [the way home], and that feeling was so real... I literally felt my family calling me, and I could even smell my mom!"

"Ha, but I have no family at all!"

Spherical Tunguska smiled and shed tears.

Chen Yan looked at the rubbing marks on its scales, thinking that it must have suffered a lot in these years.

Poor little thing.

"I dare not follow that voice to find it, I am afraid of death."

"At that time, I found that the farther away from Mi Da, the smaller the voice in my head."

"I dare not go to the city, there are too many people there, I am afraid of being eaten... I can only flee to the mountains... I went to hide in the black pine forest on the west side of Mida for a few years, and later Yanan City was expanded, The trees were all cut down, I couldn't find anything to eat, and I was afraid that the strain would get out of control, so I had to come out."

"That's also when the sound came back in my head, took root in my head, I could hear it when I was eating, I could hear it when I was sleeping, I could hear it when I peed, fuck rat I could hear it when I was listening... Later, that voice became my own thought."

This time, the spherical Tunguska couldn't resist.

It doesn't know how all this happened, it only knows that when it reacts, it has already stood in the depths of Mida, heading for the underground elevator door.

It stumbled into the elevator.

The elevator went all the way down until it reached the basement-[-]th floor. The elevator door opened, and it was pitch black outside.

There were voices in the darkness, and it didn't know what those voices were. It regretted it and wanted to return to the surface.

But no matter how hard I pressed the elevator buttons, the voice in the darkness was getting closer.

That was the first time it heard the voice of a demon in human skin.

It will never forget those voices for the rest of its life.

"This place hasn't reached the depths of the waste abyss yet. Why did you leave the laboratory here? The group of people in the Rice University Research Institute are too unreliable."

"According to the situation at the time, this depth is the safest, and it is the most reasonable position that will not sink into the wilderness, and will not be discovered by other forces on the surface."

"Hmm... so, we are doing something here, if the movement is slight enough, the surface will not notice it?"

"Probably so... what do you want to do?"

"I want to seal the gap, and I want to block the way back home for those people."

"Why do you do that?"

"The knowledge on the other side of the rift has messed up this world too much. The [New Dawn] that William Master saw, the [Ultimate Form of the World] that William Adams touched, and the Mechanical Ascension Secret Society made it [ The National Mechanical Ascension Project], the so-called [Divine Kingdom on the Surface] by the choral group, and the [Wan Dimensional World] created by those 'geniuses' at the University of Mi... Oh, fuck, they are all fucking what the fuck What the hell!? My head hurts from listening to it!"

"you……"

"In fact, our world is perfect enough, isn't it? We evolved in natural evolution, we are the perfect product of the world's natural production - what we need is to grow through blood and tears, not to take other civilizations. What is the significance of those things to us?

The last blood moon night created today's extraordinary society, but look, what a fucking mess this world has become after the blood moon night, and what a fucking life the citizens are living! "

"I have to admit, it does."

"Your Majesty is for the sake of the people, that's why we organized those of us who have been damned for a long time, and gave us the power to send things that don't belong to this world back to their original home - this is why we are here - Only when those things disappear completely, can this society return to normal!"

"I always feel that something is wrong...but if it is His Majesty's intention, we will carry it out no matter what."

"My dear dog, now, we just need to move the location of the laboratory a little... point the out-of-control cracks to the ground, point to the ruins of [City of Overlapping Mountains], and then kick the laboratory down, and the end will be over." It’s been a farce that’s been going on for nearly ten years!”

"Does this really work? Lord Quinn, I am very worried."

"Magpie has informed the good news in advance that our trip will be a success—this is the first time our Northern Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biology Investigation and Criminal Investigation Division have taken action since they were successfully formed. We must not fail!"

In the darkness came the deep and trembling voice of the big dog with fear:

"What if it fails...?"

Lord Quinn replied in a horrible tone:

"If you fail, your next month's salary will be gone, which will directly lead to the loss of all your loan purchases, and you will sleep on the street!"

The big dog's voice trembled violently:

"That's really...the worst thing in the world..."
