Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 581 [Chapter of the Game of Death] 31: Reflection

Chen Yan can clearly feel his current state:
As a "raw material", the loss of control catalyzed by the mermaid's mouthpiece has not decreased, but with the evolution of the inspiration organ, the upper limit of the loss of control that I can carry has become higher, so the impact of loss of control on myself has become very small for the time being, almost disappearing.

Without being affected by the loss of control, some key clues from the past came to mind, so Chen Yan was able to guess his previous state.

'I have become countless, and it can be said that my spirit has become countless. This mutation does not come from my own loss of control, nor is it the result of my own ability being enhanced out of control. '

'After excluding these two situations, there is only one possibility left:
I became countless, because I was influenced by the zombie boy in the different world fungus city. '

'Is it some kind of zombie virus that can multiply the spirit? '

'The most likely is the zombie virus, only the zombie virus meets the consequences of [infecting and causing rapid cell mutation, producing new individuals]. '

'It's just that this zombie virus is different from the zombie virus I imagined. It doesn't turn people into zombies, but turns people into other things. '

Before Chen Yan recalled, all memories were clearly visible.

'The shattered pupil is the best proof - after contact with the zombie boy, when I lost control again, my pupil shattered, which is a sign of infection with this zombie virus. '

'But later on, I didn't turn into a zombie like him. '

'Before leaving Fungus City, the zombie boy told me that I will experience abnormalities for a while, but the abnormalities will disappear soon-he may be referring to the previous period where I lost my mind due to loss of control. '

'Does his warning mean that this virus is controllable? '

'He controlled the reproduction cycle of the virus, so the virus stopped at the key replication node and did not continue to infect at a deeper level, so I didn't turn into his zombie appearance. '

Chen Yan realized that he could only speculate on the zombie boy's motivation and behavior process according to his own world view and knowledge view.

However, the basic material structure of the world he lives in is likely to be different from the world the zombie boy lives in, and the scientific structure based on the material structure is also likely to be different.

Then, it is absurd to use one's own knowledge to speculate on a virus-like infection source in the world where the zombie boy lives, and the inferred results are highly unlikely to be true.

'Although there is no way to speculate on the specific process, I can see the result - the abnormality on my body, as the zombie boy said, disappeared after a while. '

'Now looking back on the past few days of insanity, I can clearly feel the changes in myself-it's not just the virus from the zombie boy that affects my spirit, but also the loss of control.

The combination of the two has caused my various strange behaviors and crazy mental states. '

'I think that the appearance of so many me must also have an out-of-control influence-the appearance of so many me also has factors of extraordinary power. '

'Is it possible that the supernatural power acts on the zombie virus, the two interact with each other, and affect me together, resulting in the appearance of so many spiritual levels of me? '

Chen Yan felt that this was the most reliable guess.

But he didn't know anything about zombie viruses at all, and he couldn't find a corresponding argument for this speculation.

He thought of the fragment of the portal of transcendence next to his desk in the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street. He might let Jack Baldo wear the evil eye ring, and use the flame generated by the burning of undead to activate the fragment of the portal again, and then Go to Fungus City through the coordinates in the portal fragments...

But what's the point?

The level of technology in that world is so high, the environment is so dangerous, and natural disasters are raging, it can't even be used as a way out.

In silent thinking, time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, at 11 o'clock in the evening, the security door of cell No. 010 was indeed connected to high-voltage electricity, and a prisoner who was quietly lying on the door to peep inside was turned into coke on the spot.

The lightning makes the prisoners afraid, just like the thunder and lightning above the sky in the natural world makes the wild beasts afraid, the flickering electric sparks and the "buzzing" sound of the electric current let the prisoners know that this place cannot be touched, so they maintain awe of death, Stay away from Cell 010.

Chen Yan tried to appease Frank and the gargoyle with gentle whispers, but it succeeded immediately and did not cause them any discomfort.

It seems that the effect of whispering has something to do with the tone of voice.

From this, he knew that the strength of his tone was linked to the strength of the inspiration released from his throat.

So in the final analysis, it is still a question of inspiration strength.

The cell area was still chaotic, and there was silence in Cell 010. The sounds from the prisoners gradually turned into meaningless white noise. After warning Klein in a whisper not to kill him, Chen Yan just fell asleep like this past.

……

……

At 5:30 the next morning, Chen Yan was woken up on time by the whistle of the professor, and the cell area had become the same as before—although there were a small number of prisoners, the rest seemed to not remember it at all. With the existence of those people, their positions were filled step by step, and the entire roll call team became a standard rectangular matrix again.

Chen Yan saw a large bonfire in the center of the cell area last night, but today there is no obvious trace of the fire in the center of the cell area.

He took a closer look, only to see some burn marks on the floor, but these marks were already quite faint, obviously treated with special means.

'This prison was originally designed to be used to detain superhumans, so they must have some special means of dealing with the funeral. '

He looked at the more or less blank eyes of the prisoners around him, and thought, maybe this is the result of drinking sheep whip soup?
'Ordinary lamb whip soup doesn't have this effect of erasing memory. They must have made special treatment for this kind of thing, or added some ingredients to achieve this effect. '

The task Chen Yan was assigned today was to repair the buildings that collapsed in the ventilation area last night.

Most of the prisoners were assigned this task. Presumably the prisoners accidentally destroyed a certain building in order to escape last night?

It was only when Chen Yan came to the release area that he realized the truth of the matter.

The air release area is actually a large sand field surrounded by spiked wire fences. According to the prison system, prisoners have at least 5 hours of air release time every day.

But since the new warden took office, he has found many outsourced jobs for the prison, and the prisoners can stay in the workshop for 12 hours a day, and have no time to rest in the ventilation area.

This warden made a fortune, and the outsourcing work system drained the energy of the prisoners, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of incidents of fighting inside the prison, and the battles among the hilltops established by the prisoners have almost completely calmed down.

If the prisoners don't do anything, the work intensity of the prison guards will drop accordingly, and the warden will reduce the number of prison guards, which will save another sum of money.

If the prisoners don't do anything, they don't need to maintain the facilities that protect their personal rights, and the maintenance costs are saved——

For example, in the ventilation area, there are two basketball courts in the entire area, covering an area of ​​more than 800 square meters, and a number of sports equipment. Although the money for controlling and maintaining this area is not much, it is not a small amount accumulated over the years.

When Chen Yan came here, he only saw that the weeds had grown to a height of more than two meters.

The prisoners cursed the warden in a low voice for not being a man. Chen Yan was eye-opened by the endless stream of obscenities from various ethnic groups, and what surprised him even more was yet to come——

In today's work task, the collapsed building was not due to the carnival of the prisoners last night, but because of the subsidence of the ground.

Standing around the subsidence area, Chen Yan saw that the sand under the subsidence area was faintly soaked in muddy water, and the muddy water stinks. Isn't this what he smelled in the sewer last night? !
Then, what caused the collapse was the fight between the Sun Knights and Bagley last night!

Chen Yan looked into the depths of the collapsed area, and saw that the sand there had been clearly treated. It should be that the prison administrators had already treated the mermaid bones, and there would be no more curses.

And such a large landslide area, plus the collapsed buildings, if you want to clean up all of them, it is estimated that an excavator will be needed-the rental fee is a lot of money.

The prisoners have perfectly replaced the machines, and the most important thing is that they don’t have to pay the corresponding wages. Even though most of them have never done such physical work, the efficiency is not high, but the most important thing in the prison is time. The warden has enough time for them. patience.

According to the supervisor, the prisoners need to clean up the wreckage of the collapsed buildings near the collapsed area, and fill the entire collapsed area with stones, wood and plastic residues accumulated before the prison, and cover it with a layer of cement.

This is not a small amount of work.

Although the prisoners complained in their hearts, none of them dared to be lazy, because there are many methods of punishing people in prisons, and they often do not require any violence to make people experience despair——Chen Yan heard that confinement rooms exist like this.

After starting to work, a familiar figure gradually approached Chen Yan and came to his side.

It's Great William.
