Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 66 The Immortal Second Personality

The screen went black again.

Chen Yan guessed what happened to Johnny Mergwin—he ate something, something that was enough to make him turn into a living corpse and reincarnated as a human.

Thus, he changed from a [living corpse] back to a normal person.

The fate of the corner girl is already obvious.

Chen Yan was silent, thinking of another person, that was another story that the third uncle told in the phone booth at night in the zoo.

The protagonist of the story is a dock worker named Solar.

The third uncle clearly said that Solal also gnawed on the corpse, and gained a new life through gnawing on the corpse.

Solar is also an [Undead].

Now it seems that the reason why Solal lives in isolation may be to avoid having some bad thoughts about ordinary humans.

Chen Yan also realized that the "Solar" mentioned by the third uncle and the "Jack Baldo" mentioned by Geralt Sif are both undead, but the way of eating is completely different——

Solal, like Vivienne's father: Johnny Megwen, continued his life by gnawing on something from the corpse.

Jack Baldo, on the other hand, continued his life by being scented with ashes.

Both are undead, and the way the two continue their lives is completely different.

After thinking about these things, Chen Yan was even more puzzled.

Solar and Johnny Mergowyn, what did they get from the dead man?
Chen Yan recalled the crucial words that Johnny Mergwin once said:
[I long for something in the brain, not the brainstem, hypothalamus, cerebral cortex, or cerebellum. 】

[A single part is useless. 】

[Together, it can help me relieve my hunger. 】

What the hell is he going to say?What exactly do these words mean?
Chen Yan did not deduce any more information.

He can only continue to read.

After a while, the white screen opened again, and a new image appeared.

In the video, Johnny Mogowan is standing in a lighted warehouse, as if he has been reborn.

"I realized the meaning of life."

He has a ruddy complexion, firm eyes, a tall figure, and a sonorous voice.

It's like a top politician who makes a speech to win votes in front of the whole city.

"The beauty of life can only be experienced by living."

"Living is the best thing in the world, no matter what means, no matter how, no matter how much you pay for it."

His tone was full of energy, and his words were full of power.

But Chen Yan always felt that something was missing in his words.

The Johnny Mogowan in front of him is completely different from before, as if he has changed... He has become stronger and more confident.

"I will live, whether it's for myself, for Vivienne, or for Leah——as a man and a head of the family, I have sufficient reasons to live!"

After Johnny McGowan finished speaking, he picked up a package from under his feet.

"I will offer my life as a sacrifice, and welcome the [Holy Sacrament] with the most pious attitude!"

Communion...

Chen Yan had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when Johnny Mogwen opened the package, Chen Yan just took a look and spit it out.

Today's breakfast had already been digested, and he could only vomit stomach acid—his stomach was overwhelmed, he only felt that he had tossed and tossed countless times, rolled his eyes from vomiting, and almost passed out.

He lay on the small counter and vomited vigorously, and his mobile phone was no longer aimed at the white screen projected by the projector.

The image in the camera disappeared, along with the sound from the phone's microphone.

Chen Yan leaned against the wall and felt uncomfortable for a long time before finally recovering.

He took a deep breath of the cold air in the secret room, and barely pointed his phone at the white screen.

The next moment, Johnny McGowan appeared with blood on the corner of his mouth.

His complexion became more rosy, his tone became more powerful, his eyes were full, and even some of the wrinkles on his face disappeared.

Chen Yan was startled. Is this the extraordinary power of the undead...

Johnny McGowan rubbed his chin as if thinking.

"[Sacrament] is really great, maybe I should let Vivienne try this stuff, maybe it will cure her disease?"

He glanced at the camera with contempt, then held out his hand and turned off the video.

The screen went black, and Chen Yan put down the phone.

An idea popped into his head.

Johnny Mergowyn filmed these videos in order to prevent himself from losing his memory.

Now that Johnny Mergowyn has gained a new life and is no longer suffering from the disease of the zombie disease, naturally he no longer needs to record his own memories.

He waited for a while, and sure enough, the projected screen was always black, and no more white screens representing images appeared.

Just when he was about to give up waiting and put away the projector, the black screen suddenly disappeared without warning.

A white screen appears.

Chen Yan immediately raised the phone.

On screen is Johnny Mergowyn.

He was wearing pajamas, with a panicked face and apprehension in his eyes, completely gone from the arrogant look he had during the day.

"Shh...he's asleep...don't wake him up..."

He was talking nervously into the projector.

Who is he talking to?and a projector?

perhaps……

Chen Yan was thoughtful.

Perhaps he was speaking to me standing in front of the screen—to someone who will be watching these images in the future.

"He became a monster, he became a real undead!"

"I created him. I created a monster that is physically indistinguishable from a human being, but with a distorted mind!"

There was pain in Johnny McGowan's eyes.

"He wants to use the so-called [Sacrament] for Vivian, and he will kill Vivian!"

"I can't go on like this, I have to think of a way!"

He cried out anxiously.

"Jack Baldo... even if he doesn't use the [Sacrament], he can still use the aromatherapy stained with the ashes to treat the [zombie disease]!"

"If Jack Baldo helped me, the other me might disappear, and my Vivienne would not be in danger!"

"I'm going to send this projector to Jack Baldo. I want to convince him that because he is the real [Undead], he must have a way to subdue the other me!"

Johnny McGowan's eyes suddenly changed.

"Not good! He's about to wake up!"

"Don't let him find out that I'm still here! Otherwise I'll be finished!"

He reached out and quickly turned off the camera.

The white screen turns black, and the video ends.

Chen Yan was extremely nervous, and he waited quietly, waiting for the real Johnny McGowan to start recording again.

After waiting patiently, the darkness turned white again.

On the screen, Johnny Mogowan sat at the table with an extremely serious expression, crossed his hands and put them next to his mouth, staring at the camera like a falcon.

Johnny McGowan's eyes were so sharp that Chen Yan had an illusion—as if Johnny McGowan was staring at him through the screen.

After a dead silence, Johnny McGowan spoke.

"I know you're there."
