Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 716 Another Narrow Room

After saying the words "found it", he suddenly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

To be precise, he retracted his arm—the palm was gone under his wrist, and the entire wrist seemed to be severed by some kind of sharp weapon. The incision was flat, like some kind of high-precision art work.

"Huh? What is this?"

Quasimodo looked ugly, but not in pain.

"The starting point of the download link is not a certain server address in the online world, but... a certain space between the online world and the real world. It is neither the online world nor the real world, but it has both. Some properties... that place has both [concrete things] and [existence of data form]."

Quasimodo's description was very general, and Chen Yan couldn't deduce useful information from his description, but only vaguely realized that the whole thing was wrong.

Chen Yan frowned and said:
"How can such a place exist... what kind of monsters will be downloaded from such a place..."

According to Quasimodo's description, Chen Yan has never been to such a place. For him, the difference between the Internet and the world is so obvious that he really can't imagine the "intermediate state" that exists between the two.

Wish expressed her opinion:
【Nothing is a completely independent individual. There must be some unclear boundaries between things. If you can't see it, it's just because your vision hasn't reached that level. 】

Chen Yan agrees with her:

'It is better to say that all things in the world are universally connected, and all things, phenomena and processes cannot exist in isolation. '

Wish obviously rolled his eyes again:

[I suggest that you better not move on, because I have never seen such a thing. 】

Chen Yan continued:
'Things are constantly changing, and [the state of change] is eternal. You haven't seen new things for a long time, so you will be afraid of [the unknown] itself. '

Wish did not choose to quarrel with him this time:

【Chen Yan, you don't understand...】

Wish obviously changed her mentality after experiencing this period of life. She is not as active as before, nor is she so naive.

Poor little one, she must be having a bad time.

Chen Yan suppressed the sadness and self-blame in his heart, and touched the head of the shadow of the beast:

'Anyway, I'm going to have to find out the truth about the impostor now, and I need to use those truths to expose him and send him off. '

No matter what, I have to get my body back, otherwise how can I save you?

The shadow of the beast didn't even dodge.

'Quasimodo. '

Chen Yan calls out to the spirit body who concentrates on the experience on the screen.

'I need to access this link...can you keep me safe? '

After pondering for more than ten seconds, the rickety ugly spirit said:
"Because that crevice space has the nature of data, so I can help you go in - I can temporarily stretch you, let half of you enter that strange space temporarily, and the other half stay with me, once there is a problem there , I can immediately know through your body, and I can pull you back."

Quasimodo said in a simple voice:

"But I can't guarantee your safety because I can't see everything in the crevice space and don't know what's there."

"And, if you decide to go in, you have to hurry up—we still have 7 minutes, and within 7 minutes, I must take you out of the online world."

Chen Yan replied:

'No problem, let's get started. '

Quasimodo "twisted" Chen Yan with both hands, elongating him into a long strip, with the legs wrapped around Quasimodo's fingers and knotted, and the head protruding into the screen.

There was a moment of darkness in front of Chen Yan's eyes.

In an instant, there seemed to be countless dim streams of light flashing past him. Chen Yan subconsciously focused on distinguishing, and saw that it was a fast-flowing data stream.

'I have entered an upstream stream...'

The moment this thought disappeared, a light appeared in front of Chen Yan's eyes.

When his consciousness returned to normal, he saw a strange scene in front of him——

There was darkness all around, and the darkness seemed to be able to swallow the light source, so that the light not far away could only illuminate the distance of no more than 1 meter in front of his body.

Withering grass appeared below Chen Yan's field of vision—he confirmed that it was grass—looking forward along the grass, he saw a faint glimmer of light——

In the dark world, there are countless lights that look like fireflies.

'This place feels so familiar...'

'Is that where the impostor came from? '

Many questions in Chen Yan's heart could not be answered.

'How did Chen Changsheng know about this place?What exactly are the [living beings] that exist here? '

He leaned forward, and his ghostly body was gradually elongated, getting closer and closer to where the firefly was, until he was within 1 meter of a certain firefly——

'Grass! '

At the moment when he saw the fluorescent object, part of Chen Yan's consciousness almost collapsed due to fear——

I saw that the fluorescent object was actually a dry corpse with a withered face and body!

It is not accurate to say that it is a mummy, because this person has not completely dried up, most of his body has been rotten and decayed to the point of being dry and rotten, and the only part that remains is still "alive" - ​​Chen Yan saw that he was almost dead. A completely decayed face, and saw the only thing "alive" on his face - his moving eyeballs.

Eyeballs are full of pleading, as if asking Chen Yan for help!

'who are you? ! '

Chen Yan sent out his thoughts, but the other party obviously didn't have the energy to answer.

The mummy can only do one thing—his eyeballs move down.

Chen Yan followed his gaze and saw some kind of data cable connected to his feet.

Chen Yan was almost dumbfounded, he hurriedly got closer, and saw that the thing was indeed a data connection cable, extending from the darkness to his lap.

Chen Yan could even see the data surging in the connection line!
Chen Yan walked around behind him, and saw the dense ports on his back—in addition to the huge clamp cable and network cable ports, there were also large SATA ports obviously used for data transmission, and some kind of sockets with dense pins. groove……

Is this person... transformed into some kind of data storage and processing unit? !
A large number of wires and slots were inserted on the man's back. Those slots were not metal, but bone. There were a lot of dense lines around the slots, like some kind of spell, and more like The links, wires, and pins on the computer motherboard only reveal an evil atmosphere from the inside out, which makes people look creepy at first glance.

Chen Yan walked towards the depths of the darkness along the connection line under his feet, only to see more and more such mummy appeared in front of him.
