Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 739 White Snake
When get out of class was over that night—about less than 11 o'clock, the snow outside the night school was heavy.

Most of the students did not choose to stay in the dormitory of the night school, they chose to go home because they had work to do tomorrow, and even a few of them had to go to the night shift later tonight—

After the march, jobs south of the Old Town have been thrown out of whack, with some inexplicable shift system popping up and people having to do what their bosses tell them to do.

There are still so many people, and the substitutability of every job is still so strong-no one is irreplaceable, everyone is just a screw of the times.

The students who left the night school left a long trail of footprints on the quiet and cold street. After leaving each other's contact information, they walked into the moonlit night, recalling the first lesson of the day while walking. Even though there were no street lights tonight, only Relying on the moonlight will not feel dark.

Marina stayed with a few of her classmates—8 of them, 3 boys and 5 girls.

'The benefits of evening school are more favored by women for some practical reasons. '

Ned Roddy came to many similar conclusions when he ran the night school.

He realized that he had not only got a job, but was also conducting a valuable social survey. Unlike any previous social survey, this time he was facing the most notorious group in the rumors. People are usually considered as bugs polluting the world and incombustible garbage that hinder the development of civilization, but from today's perspective, this is not the case.

'At least these people today—these samples I came into contact with—although they cannot be regarded as effective samples—they deserve to be saved. '

Due to the hasty start of the new semester, the dormitory of the night school is very simple, without even new bedding. The upper two floors of the commercial building only have simple wooden beds that seem to be falling apart at any time, and some wooden beds do not even have wooden boards.

Ned Roddy helped the students who needed to live on campus to make their beds—just a simple cleaning and finding some old, dusty, dirty bedding.

Perhaps it was because these things were really worthless, and even selling them was a waste of time, so they were left in this shop.

The students staying in the night school have their own reasons, but that is not what Ned Roddy needs to care about. As the principal and lecturer, he only needs to teach classes and arrange accommodation for the time being.

There were not many students staying overnight, and the second and third floors of the shop were not Datong shops, but independent cubicles. This resulted in Ned Roddy getting a room of his own. Although this room was less than six square meters, it was completely It was his own personal space, and in that respect it was even better than a university dormitory on the High Street.

After setting everything up and laying on the bed covered with a tattered velvet blanket, Ned Roddy thought to himself that tomorrow, he needs to have a communication with the night school organizer named Jack Baldo, and he needs to verify the legality of the night school. He needs to see the paper-based school-running qualification certification statement issued by the House, and even... needs to find out the identity information of Jack Baldo himself.

He was nervous because he was afraid that night school would be illegal and he would lose the job he just got, which he actually liked, the teacher-student relationship was better than most other relationships in the world Pure, and as a teacher, disseminating knowledge is also what he likes to do.

The other most important thing is that he doesn't need to write manuscripts that go against his heart for money.

The last time he followed his heart and wrote a manuscript questioning the Holy Light. After the manuscript was published by the newspaper, he was also imprisoned. When he left the prison, everything became terrible, and he even lost the opportunity to contribute to the newspaper. possibility--

The editors of the newspaper were not only as greedy as mice, but also as cowardly as mice. They tried to attract attention with reports of "questioning the Holy Light" and attract traffic to the newspaper. After being warned by the choral group, they were frightened and broke up with him quickly. got in touch.

In fact, Ned Roddie could understand.

We are all ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot fight against the hymn troupe.

Now, with enough funds—and probably with continuous work income, Ned Roddy may not need to write manuscripts against his will for a long time in the future, and he has time to find Some newspaper offices that really dare to speak, he wants to put his own opinions in those newspaper offices, and let the public know the truth about the Holy Light and false gods through the new media of the Internet.

He didn't know why he did this, he only knew that it was right—it was right to question the gods, because the gods themselves didn't exist—

Isn't it natural for a scholar to tell people a matter of course?

When Ned Roddy lay down at night, it was nearly twelve o'clock at night.

Under the moonlight through the dim yellow glass window, in the snowy night where the fluttering snowflakes scattered into shadows, and full of anticipation for the future, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

Chen Yan struggled to stand up, tilted his head, and saw an incredible scene.

The woman who had already stood up had a bigger belly.

About... about three or four months old.

Chen Yan was terrified.

'how is this possible! '

He kept his mind blank, stood up tremblingly, and came to the woman.

The woman looked into the distance with her eyes open, and there were tides surging in her golden pupils. Chen Yan looked carefully, only to see that it was not a tide, but a dense data flow wave after wave.

And the data characters in this data stream... don't belong to any kind that Chen Yan once knew.

'What the hell...what's going on...'

Chen Yan made sure that the distance the woman was looking at was not within this server.

'You came early. 'The woman said suddenly.

'What's early? 'Chen Yan didn't understand at all.

'I didn't deserve to be known so early...the world wasn't ready. 'The woman lowered her head and stroked her growing belly.

'What the hell are you talking about... who are you? 'Chen Yan couldn't understand the data stream flowing on the woman at all. Those dense data were composed of complex characters that Chen Yan had never seen before, instead of 0 and 1 like other programs.

'I am your wife. When the woman said this, there was no fluctuation in the data flow, "I am the white snake that gives birth to all new lives." '

'But this!this! "Chen Yan pointed at her belly, her consciousness was involuntarily excited, her brain was a mess.

'One day you will understand. ' The woman kissed him on the cheek, 'Now, I'm leaving. '

Chen Yan wanted to ask two pieces of information about the grimace in the basement of the North Bureau, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into two other questions: 'You...where are you going?How long? '

The woman looked at his face: 'I'm going to the next dawn. '

She gradually went away.

'We shall meet again at the next dawn. '

She radiated light and jumped into the air, like a divine revelation.

Chen Yan watched her disappear in front of him just like that.

It is "disappearing completely", not "going to another link", nor "going to another IP address through a hyperlink", let alone "going offline".

Where did she go?
What exactly is going on?

Chen Yan hid his doubts in his heart, because he didn't want to waste time, and he still had important things to do.

Tonight, next, he will go to the website of Byron Weiss Group to find information about "Magpie".

Then go to the eighth floor of the public prison building in Yanan City, which once existed in the online world, to see if the passage leading to the "human data backup space" exists, and verify your guess——verify whether the opening time of the passage complies with "La Grange Time", and thus determine whether it is part of the [wilderness].

In the end, he will go back inside the ship, find Osmandis, and with the help of that guy, enter the Byron Wiss Zoo to see if there is a way to save Wish.

——He needs to finish all this before eight o'clock tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, returned to the public network, searched for a random search engine, and found the external website of Byron Weiss Group.

As a multinational high-end biotechnology company, Byron Weiss Group has opened a website facing the public network, and through the website operates the [biomass prosthesis loading service].

'Prosthetic body service...

An important part of the mechanical ascension process is to let the machine replace the body, but the research direction of the Byron Weiss Group is [abnormal creatures]. Even if the prosthetic body is produced, it is not a mechanized prosthetic body. More in favor of human limbs. '

Chen Yan kept thinking.

He quickly found the back door of the site and entered through the back door into a part of the site that was not open to the public.

It was an encrypted server. Chen Yan was already familiar with invading such a server. He could clearly see the firewall and anti-virus software, and he knew better how to bypass the dangerous encrypted part.

'They also put things in the server... The speed of electronic office is unmatched by paper office. Who doesn't want to use the keyboard to complete the work? '

Inside the encrypted server, Chen Yan saw a concrete space similar to a cold storage.

The interior of the cold storage is made of pure steel plates - the floor, walls, ceiling... everything is made of steel plates without gaps, as if this place was formed by bending a complete steel plate.

All the office equipment here are in cool colors, and there is a layer of ice blue chill on everything, but fortunately, Chen Yan doesn't feel cold.

There are some large glass containers in the center of the cold storage. These glass containers are surrounded by a thick layer of ice-the "ice layer" surrounding these glass containers seems to be some kind of encrypted information link. Chen Yan couldn't understand this encryption method, so he couldn't melt the ice layer—if he couldn't pass the encryption, he couldn't see what was in the container.

'This doesn't look like an archives room. '

Chen Yan walked around the cold storage, but did not find any data marked with "magpie".

'Isn't it here...but that should be all there is to the internal site. '

Chen Yan quickly thought about it:
'Could it be that, like the North Bureau, there is an unmarked link—the secret room? '

He searched around again, and sure enough, somewhere in the middle of the cold storage, he found a hidden wall—a hidden hyperlink.

Chen Yan entered the hidden hyperlink, walked through a dimly lit white passage, and finally entered a room full of old books.

'Normal archives are usually visualized as large stacks in the online world, and a room full of old books...corresponds to archives that have been abandoned? '

As a multinational biotechnology company, Byron Weiss Group has generated countless redundant data and discarded files during its many years of operation. God knows where the programmers of Byron Weiss have so much spare time to upload all these data to the server inside.

Fortunately, Chen Yan can conduct a small-scale retrieval of these data - as long as he is careful enough and does not leave any traces that can be traced.

soon--

'Have. '

Chen Yan took out a book that was printed with "Instructions on the Three Phases of Cooperation between the Group's Neural Construction Department and the Mechanical Ascension Secret Society".

'Neural Architecture Department...is the name of a department. '

The reason why Chen Yan retrieved this "book" through the keyword "magpie" is because the first line of this material is:
"The main person in charge: Lindsay Robert Darwin, director of the Department of Neural Construction, Wan Brinmersh, deputy director, Magpie, chief surgeon of the Mechanical Ascension Secret Order. "

'Neural Architectural Section, Phase [-] Collaboration, Van Brinmersh. '

Chen Yan realized that he had come into contact with more secrets.

He copied this document, left Byron Weiss Group, went to an encrypted website on the Internet, and briefly read the document.

Then, with great doubts, he returned to reality.

He opened his eyes and turned on Cyborg Quinn's cell phone, only to see a prompt representing a network connection had appeared in the upper right corner of the cell phone.

As the door to the basement of the North Bureau was opened, Cyborg Quinn's IP address was released. From this point of view, the purpose of Chen Yan's trip was achieved.

And the act of "turning on the screen" obviously triggered Cyborg Quinn's own attention:
"In any case, thank you very much. The appearance of the Internet exceeded my expectations. Although I knew what the Internet looked like at the beginning, I didn't expect it to be so... spectacular. "

Chen Yan is still typing:
"In the basement of the North Bureau, what is the thing imprisoned in that ghost's room?" "

Cyborg Quinn:
"? ? ? "

Chen Yan:

"[Level [-] secret - the interests of all parties involved in the Black Paradise riot, and a certain underlying rule of the world] - that's what's written on the door, didn't I tell you before? "

Cyborg Quinn had his response:

"I was brainwashed because of investigating this matter, how could I not know. "

Although he said he knew, he obviously didn't want to say more - Chen Yan knew this, this guy must be trying to whet his appetite.

"This matter is very complicated to say, because it involves Spyro Industries' supply of Snake's Kiss Rock ore to the outside world.

You know, since entering the industrial age, the power supply in Yanan City has always been in short supply, so the discovery of Snake Kiss Rock ore underground in Yanan City was highly valued by the big forces...

Simply speaking, you may find it difficult to understand how extensive the industrial electricity supplied by Spyro Industries covers. Let me describe it roughly—80% of the electricity in the entire Northern Federation’s power network is from Spyro Industries. supplied by the Snake's Kiss Ore.

The companies that went to sea later—they were also companies that didn’t get any benefits from the Northern Federation. After they made some money from colonial trade, they also began to find ways to improve power supply—the vast majority of the empire’s overseas colonies did not have coal mines. Not to mention thermal power plants, even steam engines don't have coal to burn.

These companies want electricity, but the raw ore of the Snake Kiss Rock is monopolized by some people in the Northern Federation. They do not allow overseas companies to buy raw ore from Yanan City, and they have come up with a disgusting trick-submarine cables.

How disgusting this thing is, I won't say more.

The reason why I say so much is to let you know that [the interests of all parties involved in the Black Paradise Riot Incident] is very complicated, and it can't be explained clearly in three days and three nights, and the riot itself is not entirely spontaneous by the workers. It was carried out, and all kinds of chaos during this period even had the shadow of some forces.

Many forces have intervened in the matter of Spyro Industries, and the resulting consequences are very complicated, so this matter... Let's talk slowly when you have time. "

Chen Yan is not ready to chat slowly:
The "Black Paradise Riot" made people realize the insignificance of life, and people's playing with life will eventually eat back at themselves, just like you, like a magpie. "

Cyborg Quinn quickly responded:
"You know it all. "

Through Cyborg Quinn's reply, Chen Yan realized that he was finally able to connect the clues together:
"Then, let's talk about the third phase of cooperation between the Byron Weiss Group and the Mechanical Ascension Secret Order.

I know that's the root cause of what you are, Cyborg Quinn, you were never as harmless as you make yourself out to be.

I also know that that is the end of the Black Paradise riot, and it is also the starting point of certain things... and many subsequent things.

And... White Snake. "

After uttering the last phrase, Chen Yan suddenly saw the screen of the phone go dark.

After a while, the phone screen returned to normal.

"Talk about it, and speak in detail, Cyborg, this may be our last chance to be honest. "
