Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 455 New members, and the bell that causes shock

Quinn...

Lord Quinn?Is it the mechanical fool who caused the city of overlapping mountains to be flooded and the big snake to appear?

Chen Yan couldn't help but look at the spherical Tunguska that remained motionless at Jack Baldo's feet.

I saw the little thing sitting there paralyzed, looking at Swarm with indescribable fear in his eyes.

It clearly knows Swarm.

When did you meet?When he was taken away by the Criminal Investigation Division of the North Bureau for experiments?
"Do you know it?"

Chen Yan pointed at the spherical Tunguska.

Swarm glanced at the spherical Tunguska with confusion in his eyes.

"It feels very familiar...but I don't know it."

Swarm gave an exact answer, but such an answer made the spherical Tungus' fear of him completely unexplainable.

Chen Yan asked spherical Tunguska:
"Don't be afraid, as long as you're in this apartment, you're safe—I'll make sure no one dares to make trouble in this apartment."

The spherical Tungus stuck out his neck tremblingly, opened his trembling mouth, but failed to speak.

Its abnormal behavior is still due to fear.

This kind of fear made Chen Yan very puzzled, and he might need to talk to it in private.

Chen Yan turned to Swarm:
"Tell me about your section chief. Why did he lose contact? When did he lose contact?"

Swarm glanced at the people around him, then lowered his head, and knocked on the phone for a while, Chen Yan felt his phone vibrate.

Taking out the phone, a text message pop-up window has appeared on the main page:

"This is the content of the confidential file. Although the level of confidentiality is not high, we cannot disclose it, because the section chief said that even among colleagues, confidential information cannot be disclosed at will.

You need to go to the archives room to apply for access to the files. If your level is high enough, you can find out. "

Chen Yan subconsciously sent back a text message:
"How do you know my phone number?" "

Swarm's text message followed:
"The phone numbers of the employees in the North Bureau are disclosed to the public. Even interns can apply for inquiries in the archives software. "

Chen Yan put it another way:
"If you don't tell me about Cyborg Quinn, I can't figure out where he disappeared underground, and the possibility of finding it is greatly reduced. "

Swarm showed obvious hesitation, but still rejected Chen Yan's request in the text message:
"Sorry, the section chief said no, so it's no good. "

damn it……

Swarm was totally clueless, but Chen Yan thought that he could use some words to get his words out, but the process would be very troublesome, and now was not the time, with so many people watching in the hall, he couldn't keep staring at the phone.

Chen Yan thought about it again. In fact, he could know the events of the year through another way.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

After the urine escaped to the bathroom on the second floor, he closed the SMS pop-up window, opened the archives app, and looked at the two research projects he had applied for:

"Study on Spyro Industry and the Extraordinary Ecological Niche and Social Form of Subterranean Abnormal Organisms" and "Study on the Abnormal Physiological State of Spherical Tunguska Due to Infection with Unknown Bacterial Strain".

He thought to himself, these two investigations are actually related to Quinn and Big Dog back then——

The spherical Tunguska has become what it is now, and the complicated situation after the underground was occupied by pirates has a lot to do with what they did back then.

Perhaps, I can use "assisting investigation" as an excuse to apply to the archives to read the files about Cyborg Quinn and Big Dog back then.

He seized the time and clicked the "Application to read the file button" on the main page of the archives app. After filling in the "file name" and "reason for application", he clicked submit. Yan knew he needed to be patient.

Afterwards, he opened the address book and looked at the phone number under the name of the head of the frontline investigation section "Hanyu Huaren". Thinking of Swarm's extraordinary hearing, he did not make a call, but after a short thought, gave this A text message was sent from the number:
"Hello, I'm Chen Yan. It's a pity that I couldn't visit after I joined the job. Now I have encountered a business problem that I have to ask you for advice——

I met a colleague who claimed to be from the Criminal Investigation Section, an intern, who wanted to join my investigative activities (which had been approved by the Archives).

I don't know any information about him, and I can't verify his identity. I only know that his name is Swarm, and he claims to be an intern recruited by the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section, Cyborg Quinn.

I would like to confirm this person's identity with you and ask about the process for collaboration between the different departments - if such a process exists. "

It's nine o'clock in the morning, and there is still half a day to wait for the reply from Hanyu Hualian, the chief of the frontline investigation section. Chen Yan only needs to confirm Swarm's identity before departure, and then he can consider whether to take him underground.

When Chen Yan was originally limited in ability, he only thought about going underground to bring some ore back. He never thought about exploring the deeper underground space and the area where the city of mountains is located.

Now that there are more and more members in the team, he thinks that he can consider touching the part about the city of mountains in this underground expedition.

It's Sunday, and if George Lebster, the Shrimp Man, starts his [-]:[-] p.m. shift next week, he'll have a full day off tonight and tomorrow.

After he gets off work tonight, he can take them underground.

Chen Yan was thinking that if he had enough time, maybe he could take them for an extra ride, which would increase the safety of going underground this time.

Thinking of the word "safety", Chen Yan was also very confused. He knew that he could have the idea of ​​entering the underground only by relying on the understanding of the underground from the spherical Tungus and the bald Perrett.

Other people's ideas are usually unreliable, and he needs to make his own judgment based on the actual situation in a dangerous environment, which itself is the most risky thing.

Chen Yan was going to put away his mobile phone, and went to the lower city with Paulkin Walker to buy some necessary equipment for the team members to enter the underground.

At this moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up.

"Sender: Hanyu Huaren" was impressively displayed on the top of the text message pop-up window.

This... the speed of replying to the letter was too fast.

"Swarm is a reserve executive of the Criminal Investigation Division, that is, an intern.

But the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Section is not Cyborg Quinn——

As the former chief of the Criminal Investigation Section, this person disappeared during the investigation three years ago.

The North Bureau has no cooperation process between departments, but you can trust Swarm, the "Conviction Law" has checked his identity, but because there is no suitable referral opportunity, and there is no reason to report to become a regular, it is delayed Cannot be corrected.

In any case, please exercise caution in your investigative activities, the life of an official investigator is precious to us.

Finally, come on!His Majesty will bless you with glory! "

After Chen Yan finished watching, the first thought that popped into his head was that the guy "Cyborg Quinn" disappeared only three years ago?
It has been at least seven or eight years since they flooded the city with floods, causing snakes to wreak havoc underground, but the instigator himself was three years ago?
A good man does not live long, but a scourge lasts for a thousand years...

After reading the text message, Chen Yan thought, the text only said "You can trust Swarm", but did not mention Swarm's real identity, because it was unnecessary?Still in the consideration of "protecting privacy"?still……

Chen Yan couldn't be sure.

He thought of Swarm's ability.

Swarm is obviously a transcendent with strong hearing, maybe the ear is his inspiration organ?

Then, in the underground space, Swarm's ability will definitely play a big role - at least it can avoid many risks - the premise is that this person can become a teammate who can be trusted.

But he couldn't find a reason to trust Swarm.

Among the people who are determined to enter the underground now, needless to say Jack Baldo, Pauline Walker knows everything about Chen Yan, Weber urgently needs Snake Kiss Rock for help, spherical Tungus goes underground to find a chance to continue his life, Bald Perrett wants to Relying on Chen Yan to help him go to the wilderness to find a way to restore his body——

Except for Swarm, everyone has a reason to be trusted by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan believes that on the basis of such trust, as long as they don't go to too dangerous places and don't push them to the point where they have to face life and death choices, they will not betray under normal circumstances.

With a few thoughts, Chen Yan had already made a plan.

He left the bathroom, went back to the first floor, looked at Swarm, and said, "I'm so sorry, we can't take you."

Swarm was obviously flustered: "Why? We know there are monsters underground, we are very powerful! We can help you fight monsters!"

Apart from his voice, he acted like a child who didn't know much about the world.

Chen Yan didn't explain that much: "Yes, but we don't need it."

Suddenly, Swarm's eyes lit up, and he danced and said, "That's right! The section chief said that if you want to go to a dangerous place with someone, you must first make sure that person is trustworthy!"

What exactly did Cyborg Quinn teach him?
Swarm took out an ordinary-looking small brass bell from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Yan: "You hold this thing, as long as we are disobedient and shake this, you can control us."

Swarm looked at Chen Yan's confused face, and a big smile appeared on his face: "This is why you trust us!"

Chen Yan looked at him, then at the bell, and tried to shake it.

The moment the bell rang, Swarm seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body was hit hard. He rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, losing his breath.
