Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 549 Prelude

It was snowing in Yanan City.

I don’t know how many heavy snows this is since the beginning of winter. The ice cones hanging on the eaves have not yet melted after the snow melted last time. The new snow has dyed everything white again. The city was shrouded in a deep mist, which not even the wind and snow could dispel.

Most people do not have heating, so the business of heating companies is not good. Fortunately, people have long been accustomed to such bitter cold, and have turned the winter methods they learned from childhood into their instincts, even if it snows for a whole month. Not too depressing either.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, there were fewer people commuting on Walker Street. Most people entered the factory before 06:30, came to their workstations, and started working day after day.
This kind of life, even in such a snowy weather, will not change any more than usual.

The renovation of the kitchen of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street was completed at around 10 o'clock in the morning. Chen Yan spent some extra money to purchase a double-door refrigerator, and rejected the decoration company's efforts to sell the entire apartment's power system. .

"Everyone will use electricity soon, because electricity is not popular yet, so we have activities and discounts.

After the popularization of electricity, every household will have to install a circuit system. At that time, we will be too busy. There must be no such thing as a discount. "

The decoration company's business was obviously not so prosperous, and the manager's rhetoric did not impress Chen Yan, and the electrician team they were proud of couldn't get a little favor from Chen Yan.

After nailing the last rivet on the anti-theft window outside the kitchen window, Chen Yan paid them the final payment.

Chen Yan had planned from the beginning to ask the shrimpman George Lebster to build the entire power system for the apartment. As a reward, Chen Yan would grant a small part of the power from the pure mine of Snake Kiss Rock——

Chen Yan has already decided on the destination of the first-generation mining machine: he will use the knowledge in the ice blue memory fragments to transform the mining machine into a mobile power bank—more precisely, a mobile power bank.

The fundamental reason why he planned to do this was because Chen Yan had a more delicate "feeling" about the outside world in his heart, and this indescribable "feeling" gave birth to a huge sense of alienation in his heart.

The alienation from society made him sensitive, vulnerable, manic and lost most of his sense of security. Skylark-300 and Egret-[-] could no longer make him "feel" safe enough.

He needs a fortress, or a shell that can wrap around himself, draw in, protect himself.

He knew that all his "feelings" had been magnified, which was the result of the intensity of inspiration reaching the threshold without being promoted.

He desperately wanted to find the [Mermaid's Mouthpiece], even if he had to pay the price of losing his voice.

He decided to take a trip to the High Street and ask Green's pharmacy if there was such a thing, hoping that he would be able to pay on credit for such an expensive thing.

What he didn't expect was that the unexpected visitor interrupted all his plans.

The apartment door was opened with a key from the outside.

It was Ogami who entered the door accompanied by a gust of snow.

And right behind Ohgami, a young man with the splendid blond hair of a traditional Luke.

The young man looked like he was in his 20s, only a little younger than Chen Yan. He was wearing a large dark blue jacket with no visible material on his upper body, and a pair of thin gray jeans on his lower body. Clean snow boots, not too handsome face, although there are two dark circles under the eyes, but the spirit looks good.

Chen Yan realized something, so he just looked at the young man and kept silent.

Ogami looked at Chen Yan and said:
"Things got complicated and we needed him to stay in the apartment for two days."

Chen Yan nodded, expressing that there was no problem on the surface, but his hand had already reached into his pocket unconsciously, holding the handle of the Lark-300.

Ogami obviously found out about Chen Yan's actions, he was very surprised, and realized that there was something wrong with Chen Yan's mental state.

But the young man obviously didn't notice Chen Yan's abnormality, he was just an ordinary person.

He just looked at Chen Yan curiously, as if he found a very interesting plaything.

"You came back alive!"

He did not declare his name, but treated everything with a seemingly innocent but arrogant attitude.

"Wilke died in the ground? I knew his end a long time ago. He should have died back then. It's not good to dig in the direction of the waste abyss. Doesn't he know that Midas has been throwing discarded experimental objects away?" Enter the Abyss of Waste? Otherwise, why is it called [Abyss of Waste]?"

After he entered the door, he kept talking for a moment, as if he was a chatterbox.

"The reason why he did that back then was because he always had his own little thoughts. He got some kind of information and knew what was buried underground. He wanted to get the 'treasure' underground."

The young man smiled happily, and Chen Yan was sure that there was no sarcasm in his happiness, as if Wilke Young's life seemed to him to be just a joke that could bring him happiness.

"This kind of person is too clever, and he regards cleverness as his own authority and reliance, so he is ultimately ruined by his cleverness."

"Poor that mutated spherical Tunguska, which is clearly an evolved new species, was wiped out of consciousness and turned into a container."

"As for the strain later on... I thought that the strain would attach to you and return to the surface, but I didn't expect it to stay underground. It's really strange."

He didn't know that the strain had returned to the bacterial city on the other side of the universe.

He spoke familiar and unfamiliar words to Chen Yan, just simple sentences, but inexplicably reminded Chen Yan of many things.

He walked into the apartment hall as if he was familiar with himself, looked at the environment in the hall, and sighed with emotion:

"I didn't think about it before, you are so lucky, you still live in such a dilapidated place, how can you let a warrior like Ogami die for you? Is it also relying on luck?"

The young people keep "tsk tsk tsk".

Chen Yan had an absurd idea in his heart, that is, he wanted to shoot his tongue off with a shot from the Lark-300.

"You deserve better."

After looking at the apartment, the young man turned around and looked at Chen Yan.

"Although a person like you doesn't have much ability, luck is really good. You rely on luck to get everything today. This is not something to panic about. Luck is very important. What my father has achieved since he went to sea All achievements are inseparable from luck.”

He was obviously cursing, but there was no sarcasm or belittling in his tone, as if he was telling an objective fact.

He stood beside the sofa and turned to look at Chen Yan.

"You deserve more. Now, I'm here, so you have a new chance, a chance to change your destiny."

The young man blinked at Chen Yan, still speaking inexplicably.

"We are allies, because you also want Chen Changsheng to die, right?"

Chen Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly.

After coming to the Empire until now, he has never wanted to kill a person so much.

In order to suppress the killing intent in his heart, he shifted his vision to Ogami's face.

Ohgami's calm expression cooled his killing intent, and his firm eyes calmed the mania in his heart.

The young man couldn't see the change in Chen Yan's expression, so he understood even more that Chen Yan's heart had exploded.

The young man smiled, he confirmed his guess, and became happy:
"I want to invest in you."

The young man points to the location of the street:

"I want to hand over the operation of Walker Street [Lighthouse] to you, and let you be in charge of electricity-related business. Someone will follow up with you on specific matters."

There was no doubt in his calm tone, as if Chen Yan would never refuse his "invitation", as if this was a "great job" that no one would refuse.

Chen Yan didn't speak.

After the young man entered the apartment, Chen Yan always showed an indifferent indifference.

But the young man didn't care, or in other words, in the young man's consciousness, Chen Yan and Ben had no reason or possibility to reject him, but just had a cold face.

"Now, let me see the entrance of [Wildness]."

The young man said, and walked upstairs on his own.

Ogami looked at Chen Yan, and found that Chen Yan didn't stop him, but just followed behind silently, as if he had become the young man's follower—is this a gesture of accepting the young man's "invitation"?

Ohgami thought so.

Based on his understanding of Chen Yan, it is impossible for Chen Yan not to accept such a big benefit—this is one of the reasons why he brought this young man to the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street.

Ogami understands Chen Yan's dilemma in life.

In fact, when Chen Yan opened the door to welcome them in that snowy night, after Ogami saw his attire and the interior decoration of the apartment, and after Ogami learned the Imperial language, Recalling that when Chen Yan hesitated to talk about the rent, he already understood that Chen Yan was short of money, and he would definitely like money very much.

There is nothing wrong with liking money.

Ogami has experienced a lot, and knows what money really means to ordinary people like Chen Yan—this is the reason why Ogami has so much gold hidden in his skirt.

Because in a sense, Ogami is also an ordinary person.

Chen Yan remained silent the entire time, even walking up the stairs with his head down.

Ohgami was worried about his state of mind.

The three of them quickly came to the top of the building.

"Wuhu~"

The young man stood at the mouth of the chimney, looked at the dark space under the chimney, whistled, and said excitedly:

"Is this the legendary [Gate of Transcendence]? It's amazing!
My father said that the methods of those students were not thorough enough to completely remove the [Gate of Transcendence] in the attic, and a small part left behind became the new [Gate of Transcendence], which is the one under the chimney exists! "

The young man rubbed his hands excitedly, walking back and forth around the chimney, his eyes seemed to be sizing up the most alluring beauty.

"No one knew that this place would become what it is today. Those students back then didn't know, and neither did the extraordinary people who discovered this place after that night two weeks ago."

"Some people speculate that the earth-bound spirit caused the 'proliferation' of the [Gate of Transcendence], and some speculate that the special geographical location of this place makes it easier to form the [Gate of Transcendence].

But their guesses cannot be verified, because for the imperial humans, the [Gate of Transcendence] is completely [Unknown Knowledge].

Even William Master's experiments at the time only proved that the energy level of the [Gate of Transcendence] was controllable, but did not obtain any other attributes of the [Gate of Transcendence]. "

He babbled a lot, but Chen Yan never gave him any reply.

He felt no embarrassment at all, and after continuing to stare at the chimney with "addicted" eyes for a few seconds, he turned his gaze to Chen Yan.

"As a thank you for my investment, I hope to get your invitation—through the [Gate of Transcendence] invitation."

He didn't use a discussing tone, this sentence was just the "result" he told Chen Yan.

Then, he quietly waited for Chen Yan's reaction.

During this process—in just a few seconds, he realized for the first time that he was actually waiting for a person’s response—except for the communication with Chen Changsheng, it was the first time he had received a message from someone else. Such a feeling.

He hadn't been turned down since he started running part of the William Adams Group.

In fact, there were many people who rejected him, and most of those who knew his identity liked to bargain with him, and very much wanted to use "limited deception" in exchange for a greater price he paid in the transaction.

He learned a lot from bargaining with all kinds of people. The capital background from the William Adams family made him easy to handle in any transaction—he was always the party A who contributed capital, and he was the father of most businessmen—this It means that he has the initiative in almost any transaction.

Even now, when facing Chen Yan, it is the same.

He was rejected by people, but those people were just for bargaining, or they wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price.

Chen Yan is obviously different. According to his investigation and understanding of Chen Yan, Chen Yan should have no choice - according to his investigation results, Chen Yan must accept his invitation - he is such a money lover people.

So, now, Chen Yan's silence is very abnormal.

As a result, he developed a strong interest in Chen Yan, and began to recall and think about the investigations he had done on Chen Yan.

But Chen Yan's next question caught him off guard.

"what's your name."

After seeing this young man, Chen Yan spoke for the first time.

Young people have never introduced themselves to others, even Chen Changsheng is no exception, "knowing his name" seems to be a matter of course for people.

Therefore, when Chen Yan asked this question, he seemed a little embarrassed, and became at a loss for a moment.

The overwhelm quickly disappeared.

His age is not very old, but this does not mean that he is inexperienced and mentally inferior.

"Leonardo Adams."
