Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 738 Ceremony
After sending Cyborg Quinn back to his cell phone, Chen Yan used his quantum avatar to enter the online world again.

This time, even though he knew the IP address, it took a lot of effort to find the three-story building of the North Bureau in the cracks between the dense buildings like a mirage.

He raised his head and looked around, only to see that the small building of the North Bureau has now been completely submerged by the tall buildings next to it——

Different from simply being surrounded before, due to the development of the Internet world, the sky above the three-story building of the North Bureau has been completely occupied by buildings of various styles. Those unknown websites are all bloated without exception, and the website and The ubiquitous links established between websites in order to obtain traffic made the structure of the house more complex, so that it blocked the "skylight"-this caused the entire North Bureau to be almost completely shrouded in a "night".

In comparison, the three-storey building where the North Bureau is located is different

The bright light that can illuminate the small building of the North Bureau comes entirely from the lights emitted from the windows of the surrounding buildings, or a broken wire.

The dense lights illuminate the "night sky" in front of Chen Yan, like the lights of thousands of houses.

Chen Yan knew that the windows where the lights were located represented web pages in the public network one after another, and the wires linking the windows were hyperlinks between web pages.

'Maybe it's not a hyperlink, but... some kind of network connection beyond what I can imagine. '

Standing on the top of the small three-story building in the North Bureau, Chen Yan watched the huge buildings surrounding the small building. Recalling the previous conversation with Cyborg Quinn, an idea suddenly appeared in his mind:
'Before, the other me...the backup that was downloaded into my body, didn't he just encounter the problem of incompatibility between consciousness and body? '

Chen Yan realized something in his heart.

"He was me, but not all of me. His consciousness and my body were not perfectly adapted, so there was a BUG, ​​and there was a program error, so he committed suicide..."

Thinking about this in his mind, he entered the ventilation duct on the roof at the same time.

After the last quantum clone was shattered, Chen Yan became very careful in what he did in the online world, and he was even more vigilant when he sneaked into the small building of the North Bureau this time.

He bypassed the firewall installed in the ventilation duct, being careful not to touch every node that might trigger the firewall, and walked all the way down the ventilation duct that had almost turned into a maze until he stood in the small building of the North Bureau without any danger. In the hidden basement corridor.

What was different from before was that there were some more messy footprints on the ground in the basement of the North Bureau—there were traces of footprints in front of some doors, and the ground was not as dusty as before.

'Someone accessed the encrypted link in the basement of the North Bureau... It is estimated that it was accessed by the North Bureau's own people, because there is no trace of forcible destruction here. '

Chen Yan did not see any damage to any door in the corridor.

He soon came to the end of the Cyborg Quinn data connection he had been chasing - a certain door at the end of the corridor on the basement level of the North Bureau.

On the door, the ferocious face of an evil spirit stared at him with humanized vicious eyes.

On the forehead of the grinning grimace, the seal is clearly visible:
[Tier [-] confidentiality—the interests of all parties involved in the Black Paradise riot, as well as a certain underlying rule of the world]

The IP address of Cyborg Quinn's cell phone is sealed here, and in order to release his cell phone, one must enter the door.

What's more difficult is that the door in front of him is not just a firewall, but some kind of encryption method——Chen Yan saw the characters of the network connection from the data stream emerging from the door, which shows that the door is It is connected to the network, and once it is opened and the secret inside is touched, the alarm will be triggered immediately, so that it will be known by others.

'Firewalls are easy to implement, any firewall has loopholes, as long as I find loopholes, I can unimpeded. '

Chen Yan had even seen the weakness of the data flow—it was in the eyes of the evil spirit on the door.

'However, the encrypted verification method of the Internet cannot be done. Once contacted, no matter what the result is, it will definitely be known. '

In one thought, Chen Yan had already made up his mind.

'I want to hurry up... I will leave immediately after reading it. '

'Once an alarm is triggered, a firewall or antivirus software is activated, get away... or fight your way out. '

After thinking about it, Chen Yan stretched out two fingers and poked at Grimace's right eye.

[Oh shit! 】

Grimacing in pain, he cursed and closed his eyes all of a sudden.

At the same time, the entire interior space of the North Bureau suddenly turned red, exactly the same as the scene when Chen Yan first triggered the firewall of the North Bureau!
Chen Yan kicked the door open and broke in. When he saw the scene in front of him, his brain short-circuited for a moment——

There are no piles of papers inside the door, no locked safes, just...

Only one person - a woman!
'The so-called [the interests of all parties involved in the riot in the black heaven], the so-called [a certain underlying rule of the world]...is this woman? ! '

There was a sleeping woman lying on her side in the bare corner!

Cyborg Quinn's sealed IP address is on this woman!
'What is this woman?Is it a sophisticated database?Or a hyperlink to the real answer? '

There was no time for Chen Yan to continue thinking. He heard the sound of heavy footsteps—this time it was not the firewall, but the network maintainer of the North Bureau came to him in person!
Chen Yan didn't think too much, picked up the sleeping woman, turned around and rushed out the door, and saw a dense crowd of men in black wearing black trench coats filling the entire upward staircase.

'Damn, so much! '

Chen Yan's body shattered into countless strings in the next moment, and these strings turned into a fiery red data stream within one clock cycle, rushing towards the position of the people in black.

Under the flaming data flow, the human wall formed by the men in black collapsed in the next clock cycle, and countless destroyed characters became useless data, which settled on the stairs and could no longer be formed.

Although a road appeared before the man in black because of the death of the man in black, the number of men in black did not decrease because of this, but increased——

As long as the man in black is located—as long as it is touched by the man in black, including but not limited to walls, escalators, environmental creatures, and even dust—everything they touch becomes themselves— —what they touch becomes them.

Chen Yan realized that he couldn't continue spending time with them like this, so he let a part of the fiery red data flow go back, reorganized a concrete body, and then picked up the woman, followed the fiery red data flow, and fought against the man in black Among them, he left the gate of the North Bureau.

Countless men in black poured out of the North Bureau building like an army, and Chen Yan couldn't wipe them all out, so he could only run wildly with the woman on his back.

I don't know how long I have traveled in the online world, how many encrypted gateways I have passed, and how many servers I have left traces...

Finally, in the encrypted local area network of an overseas server, Chen Yan got rid of the people in black chasing him.

'Northern Bureau actually used viruses as anti-virus software! '

Chen Yan was afraid for a while. Those men in black who could swallow the surrounding data and reproduce infinitely were obviously some kind of vicious virus with infinite replication ability. The North Bureau was playing with fire by using this kind of thing as an anti-virus software. Get yourself into it.

He calmed himself down a bit, then looked around.

This is an encrypted local area network, which seems to be used to exchange information about the rise and fall of special products between different islands, so the scale is not large, and the website is also very simple - Chen Yan can only see a blank space in front of him There are several flowing light spots in it, and the light spots are linked by two-way data flow.

'Their servers are good, but they haven't been used, and they didn't even set up a firewall because they just set up the server...it should be a server set up by a few rich bosses. '

Other than that, there is nothing else on this site.

Chen Yan placed the woman in a place below the blank space away from the light spots, and finally had time to look at her.

This woman looked no different from a normal Luke—cold pale skin, a tall nose, slender blond hair, golden eyelashes, and a plump figure.

'20 years old? 25 years old?In short, it must not exceed thirty. '

Chen Yan tried to wake the woman up, but light blows such as shaking and slapping her face were useless.

'What's the matter with her? '

Chen Yan felt confused. On the door of the basement of the North Bureau, there were stickers on the door of the basement of the North Bureau: [Interested interests of all parties in the Black Paradise Riot Incident] and [A certain underlying rule of the world]. Are these two things that women know?
Or are women just these two things themselves?
Chen Yan couldn't understand.

She was asleep now, and Chen Yan couldn't ask or verify her identity.

It's a real headache.

'I took her out of the North Bureau, so I can't let her stay in the network. What if the men in black from the North Bureau found her?God knows if they hid some program back door on her. '

Chen Yan saw the dense data flow flowing in the woman's body. These data flows not only constituted her inside, but also constituted her concrete body.

The way data streams are combined is clever and natural.

Chen Yan realized that this woman might also be a data life.

'I need to get her off the internet... maybe find her a real-world body...where do I find this? '

'And, Cyborg Quinn's IP address is sealed on her, how do I release that IP address? '

Chen Yan realized a very troublesome thing:

'Everything has to wait for the woman to wake up - if the woman wakes up, I can easily ask about all this. '

'She is a data life, even if her brain is not working well, she can always speak out the content of the data left in her body. '

'What are the conditions for waking up a data life? '

Chen Yan knew nothing about it!
'The most important thing is... a data life, an existence made up of data, how could she appear [sleep], a physiological state that only flesh and blood can appear?

Is it because she is not activated? '

Chen Yan realized the crux of the matter.

'I need to... activate her! '

Chen Yan looked at the woman, thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to her chest.

His hand easily passed through her skin, squeezed away the subcutaneous fat, entered the flesh and blood, and held the heart.

Chen Yan gently exerted force on his hand.

【Um……】

A painful expression appeared on the woman's face, followed by a bowed waist.

'There is a play! '

Chen Yan continued to pinch her heart uninterruptedly, the cold white skin on the woman's face gradually turned red - she was being awakened.

During this process, Chen Yan saw a surprising scene - his knuckles - and even the whole hand, fused together at the part that was in contact with her heart!
It's like two streams of different densities blending with each other.

It is like an intermediate state that occurs when a different state of matter undergoes a state change.

It was as if water and blood were replaced in an instant, and the replacement process was not as bloody as ordinary humans imagined.

It's like a cotton candy falling into a cloud becomes the cloud itself.

……

As the process progressed, the pain on the woman's face gradually disappeared.

And Chen Yan inexplicably became short of breath, and an indescribable feeling began to surge from his consciousness...

'Soul horse kills chicken. '

——A ridiculous word appeared in Chen Yan's mind.

In the process of this unstoppable feeling constantly gushing out, Chen Yan discovered that the woman was also in the same state.

Waves of light red tides seemed to surge on her cold white skin, a faint red light that could not be reflected shone in her slightly opened golden pupils, and the fine hair on her body—— Chen Yan couldn’t help it. What I believe is that she actually has such a subtle concrete existence as fine hair-her pores are open, but Chen Yan does not smell the unacceptable smell of traditional Luke women.

Chen Yan didn't smell anything.

He just heard some kind of singing from the open pores on her body, the singing was not solemn, nor simple and elegant, but just cheerful——

Like radiant moose singing on the snow-covered Walker Street at night, clinging to each other after chasing each other;
Like bacon and slices of bread jumping up, shuttle each other in mid-air above the dinner plate, tying countless bows;
Like teddy dogs chasing and playing one after another, they suddenly bumped into each other;
……

'What the hell was I thinking! ? '

What broke Chen Yan was that he couldn't stop—once this weird program started, it couldn't be stopped halfway.

The pink tide reaches a certain peak after tens or hundreds of clock cycles.

Chen Yan was paralyzed, or perhaps overloaded, and fell to the ground, convulsed and unable to move.

The woman opened her eyes, and those golden pupils seemed to be the most perfect creation of the gods.

Chen Yan, who was sweating profusely, looked at her who was profusely sweating, and his mind went blank for a moment.

……

……

At this moment, Yanan City.

In the eastern block of the old city, in the facade of a three-story shop.

Ned Roddy has just completed his first lesson - answering his 21 students' doubts about industrial technology and industrial development, and how to plan their careers.

Before this class, Ned Roddy had heard a lot about the quality of people south of the old town. When people on the high street mentioned those people, they would inevitably use the worst adjectives, even the most sympathetic students No exception.

And after completing this class, part of Ned Roddy's world view was subverted—the group of students in front of him, who were about the same age as him, had very little literacy, and some even couldn't speak the Imperial language clearly. Students, some of their qualities are high - their desire to learn far exceeds even most university students on the high street!

The most important thing is that almost all of these students are heretics—most of them don't even know what "holy light" is—this really makes Ned Roddie very happy.

If there is no fear of God in the heart, free will will not be bound by chains.

Looking at the group of students in front of him, Ned Roddy regrouped some thoughts that had been dissipated due to the harsh living environment.

"If you need to live on campus, you can ask me to register, and I will issue keys to the registered students."

Ned Roddy looked at everyone.

"We've got an hour to get this done, and then—"

He took out his cell phone.

"Then we will complete the second lesson today, which is called "Utopia."

"Utopia" was the second surprise that Ned Roddi encountered today. Except for the description about the gods, this book was written in his heart.
