Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 437 Past events in the center of the earth ([-]): Living to death
"Later, something terrible happened..."

Speaking of this, the spherical Tungus put away all emotions except fear.

"A vortex is formed in the direction of [City of Stacked Peaks]! A large amount of water was sucked into the vortex and disappeared!"

"But besides the bottom of the ruined abyss where the city of overlapping peaks is located, where else can the great water go?"

"Before this, the waste abyss was already the bottom of the world that humans could reach, but now that the flood has disappeared under the waste abyss, does that mean...there are other spaces under the waste abyss?"

"The people in the North Bureau thought it was a treasure, and they wanted to explore it, but the bottom of the water was too dangerous, so they tried every means to build a dam underground when the big snake was away, blocking most of the water flow."

"After the water flow diverted, the road to the bottom of the ruined abyss, which is where the city of mountains is located, finally opened."

"Although big snakes will appear underground from time to time, as long as you are careful, you can always get a chance to go deep underground."

"They sent a new investigation team to go underground, but none of the people who went there came back."

"The space under the waste abyss seems to be a place of no return. After losing a lot of manpower, they finally stopped exploring the unknown space under the waste abyss."

"After stopping the underground investigation, I lost all use value, so I was put on hold."

"After a period of time, the secret stronghold of the North Bureau was gradually abandoned, and the laboratory where I was imprisoned was also gradually abandoned..."

"I escaped ... but I had nowhere to go, and what's sadder is that I found myself changed."

The spherical Tungus raised his head and glanced at Chen Yan.

"I'm starting to feel... a little powerless."

"My movements became sluggish, and my thinking became sluggish. I...I felt like I was going to die."

"I know that I am about to die. My lifespan has exceeded the limit that the same kind can reach. I am about to reach the end of my life as a Tunguska."

"I almost died."

It smiled lowly.

"While I was looking for breakfast that day, I lost my strength and fell in the rubbish. A few mice jumped on me and wanted to do to me what I had done to them."

"I didn't have the strength to resist at that time... I gave up resisting."

"But just as they pounced... just as I was about to die, the voice from that year reappeared in my mind."

"That's the call from the ethnic group... that's... the call from the [Brain Ball Strain] strain group in my body!"

"I don't know what happened at the time, I just know that when I regained consciousness, those rats had become my food."

"Those voices from the Clan gave me strength and saved my life."

"I got up from the chicken bones and fermented dirty water and walked in the direction of the sound."

"I know that what I'm about to face may be terrifying, but it can save my life... Ever since I gained wisdom, what I fear most is death."

"I ran away from Mida because I was afraid of death, I fled into the black pine forest because I was afraid of death, and I ran out of the black pine forest because I was afraid of death, and went to Yanan City to eat garbage."

"Because I was afraid of death, I was threatened by people from the Criminal Investigation Section of the North Bureau. I helped them do so many stupid things and helped them make so much money."

"Because I was afraid of death, after escaping, I was still surviving in the garbage dump in Yanan City...You humans like to use this word, right? Especially you Asians."

"That time, I was going to die again, but I didn't want to die. The feeling of being alive is better than anything else!"

"Because I was afraid of death, I went back to the place where it all started——

That night, I returned to Midland, followed the direction of the sound, and dug the underground passage that Wilke and I had dug together.

I followed the passage down until I entered the City of Mountains.

But... the city in front of me is already in ruins!It's 'dead'! "

When the spherical Tunguska mentioned this, Chen Yan immediately noticed that the city of overlapping mountains it dug in Mida should not be the same place as the city of overlapping hills dug by the Criminal Investigation Section of the North Bureau!
The voice of wish also immediately rang in Chen Yan's ears:

'What happened underground may be completely different from what we imagined. The space rift created two different cities with overlapping mountains, but how is this possible?
Could it be that in different places in this universe, there are two civilizations with the same history, the same technology, and the same basic structure of life forms at the same time?
The probability of this is too small... so small that it is almost impossible to happen! '

The spherical Tunguska is still telling:

"Finally, I found what was calling me."

"In the depths of the ruined abyss, under a collapsed house, I found a phonograph... Don't look at me, it's exactly the same as your human society."

"There's no sound from the gramophone, but I can just hear it...it's coming straight into my head."

"I heard it say to me: Marry me, let's breed a new race."

"When I heard this, I wasn't surprised! Haha! I thought I was crazy! I wasn't fucking surprised!"

As the spherical Tunguska spoke, he shed tears.

"It said to me again: Come on, let's finish the wedding ceremony."

"I don't know how all this happened—the moment it finished speaking, I knew that I should eat it—[eating it] itself is [the ceremony of the wedding]."

"So, I completed the ceremony."

"I...I feel like something is going on inside me, I don't know what it is, I just feel like I'm not the same as before."

"I regained my vitality, the traces of aging disappeared from my body, I seemed to be young again, and I felt that I had endless strength..."

It seemed a little incoherent, and it was obvious that after so many years, the shock of that incident was still as close as it was right in front of our eyes.

"After calming down, I was thinking, what the hell is going on with [breeding a new ethnic group]?"

"I didn't feel that I was infected. When I was young many years ago, I didn't feel the feeling when I was first infected with [Brainball strain]."

"I don't know what happened, I just know that I not only survived, but also lived very well."

"Just when I was about to leave the underground, a group of uninvited guests came."

The voice of the spherical Tunguska carried obvious vigilance, and it obviously couldn't control its emotions well.

"Their conversation went like this:

'Is this where they pushed the lab down? '

'Yes, this is also the bottom of the waste abyss. '

'It's really interesting, here and the place we discovered before, it turns out to be different states of the same thing. '

'The professor attributed this situation to 【Crack】. '

'Um?In other words, do the things created by the [strongest generation] graduates still exist now? '

'kindness. '

'This is what is called extremes. What is the [strongest generation]? Later, it was not the casualties of the dead. It was a good result. '

'What happened in the lab back then? '

'If I knew, we wouldn't need to come here to investigate again. '

'makes sense. '

'Be careful, [Brain Ball Strain] has now been confirmed by the research institute as a type of [Ancient Immortal Strain]. Even if it loses its biological activity, it still has a strong ability to infect carbon-based organisms. '

'I trust the Institute's protective suits. '"

The spherical Tunguska paused here, and took a sip of the mint soup Chen Yan handed over.

"thanks……"

It seemed completely lost in memory.

"I didn't know what those two guys were doing until they came up with a... don't know what it was."

"They ignited that thing, and that thing rose into the air and became an underground sun!"

"Everything is illuminated, the ruins of the city of mountains are exposed in the field of vision, and the ruins of the laboratory are not far away. The things that were originally hidden in the darkness are stimulated and rushed out of the darkness!"

"That's a big—snake!"

The spherical Tunguska makes an exaggerated long sound.

"It's a bigger snake than the one I've seen before! So big! So big!"

It stretched out its short hands and stretched its arms outward, trying to describe the huge snake.

"I didn't realize until I saw it clearly at that time that it wasn't a snake, but a kind of...creature I had never seen before!"

The fear in its voice almost overflowed.

"That thing...is horrible, hideous, evil, crazy, and...beautiful! It's perfect!"

"That's the most evil beauty I've ever seen! It's... maddening perfection!"

Chen Yan slapped it on its hysterical face, and slapped it around a few times before fully waking up.

"thanks, thanks……"

The spherical Tungus shuddered violently. Knowing that he was almost trapped in the fear of the "big snake", he subconsciously thanked Chen Yan.

"What happened later?" Chen Yan was eager to know.

"later……"

Spherical Tunguska said:
"The serpent slew them, shattered the sun, and plunged the land back into darkness."

"I felt the big snake's gaze at that time, I felt that it was watching me! But it didn't make a move to me!"

Chen Yan heard the trembling and suppressed crazy excitement in its words.

"That is, when it was staring at me, I felt its inner loneliness—the [brain ball strain] in my body felt its inner loneliness!"

"I almost went crazy! How can a snake be lonely? This is obviously an emotion that only intelligent creatures have! That snake...it has intelligence! It can think like a human being!"

"I just want to run away quickly! Who knows if a big snake with human intelligence will go back and forth like humans?!"

"But where it is, it happens to be blocked on the road leading to the surface. I dare not run towards it, so I can only run in another direction!"

"I ran and ran until there were voices around me!"

"Damn it! In such a deep darkness under the ground, how the hell are humans everywhere!"
