Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 743 Small Theater: Another Storyline 4
Chen Yan quickly discovered the doubts in the strange past described by Cyborg Quinn:
"After you were captured by the North Bureau and the frontal lobe of your brain was cut off by the magpie, how did the consciousness in the mobile phone investigate the follow-up matter? "

In the three years after Cyborg Quinn was arrested by the North Bureau and underwent lobotomy surgery, the consciousness in the mobile phone—the Cyborg Quinn who is now talking to Chen Yan, should The IP address has already been blocked, how to investigate what happened next?

Chen Yan raised his vigilance at this moment. The former head of the inspection department of the North Bureau was obviously not an honest person, and the conversation with him required racking his brains to find out the truth.

Chen Yan’s inquiry in the second person made the other party feel respected and recognized. This may be the first time his self-cognition as a “person” has been recognized by others, so the joy made the answer appear quickly:

"After the frontal lobe of my brain was removed, my IP was blocked.

Maybe it's because I still have value, maybe it's because they still have a need for me, maybe it's because they think there's no need to guard against a fool... Anyway, they didn't take my phone away. "

Words kept appearing on the screen. Chen Yan watched these words, and the sound of the bow parting the water echoed in his ears when the ship was moving forward at full speed. His nostrils were filled with the fresh, cold fishy smell of the sea, and he felt inexplicably happy.

'At least I figured things out. '

he told himself.

'At least the [Executor] is not invincible-it's just a matter of shotgun-like most extraordinary people, there is no way out under hot weapons. '

Everything that gradually emerged on the yellow screen of Cyborg Quinn's mobile phone connected the subsequent events in series:
"After my IP was blocked by the North Bureau, I couldn't connect to the Internet. "

"Actually, this is not a big deal, because the Internet at that time was still very small - there were no lighthouses at that time, and to access the Internet, you need to enter a specific account number and password in a place with a particularly good mobile phone signal to connect. Local signals...you get the idea. "

"Also, in the decades I've been an agent, I've used the Internet so little that I don't rely on it. "

He seemed to be bragging about himself.

"Really useful information does not come from the Internet, those really useful things come from people's mouths, specific people, specific things, maybe you don't need to contact people with particularly high status, because there will always be people doing things, and any careful plan A large number of peripheral personnel are needed to complete the corners, and these people are the breakthrough of the plan. "

"To be honest, when you are underground, instead of relying on the Internet, you might as well count on Baye Liang—at least Baye Liang is a good businessman, as long as you give him what you want, he will tell you everything. "

The rest of Cyborg Quinn's life is getting harder and harder.

After the frontal lobe of his brain was cut, Cyborg Quinn became confused. He was thrown into the ground by the North Bureau like garbage, and survived the next month of riots.

God knows where he found the food, and how he survived for a month.

A month later, when he crawled out of the ruins of the black paradise, the lifting device of the Omega sector had been opened again, and the underground mining operations gradually began to return to normal.

When Cyborg Quinn—the Cyborg Quinn on the mobile phone—connected with Baye Liang again, Baye Liang told him that everything ended in a bloody conflict.

Spyro Industries paid the price of being invaded by external forces and holding the key;
The Omega sector has paid for the development of the possible birth of civilization;
The miners gave everything—the group of new immigrants who were forced into the smoky lake, those dream chasers who came to Yanan City from all over the world with longing, those poor people who could only exchange their lives for the chance of survival , They can no longer enjoy the life of normal people underground, the black paradise that represents hope is destroyed, the industrial chain that can give birth to civilization is destroyed, and everything about them is destroyed.

Worthy of mention is Spyro Industries - a pathetic company of illiterate pirates who, helpless in the face of interference from other forces during this riot, watched their mines be destroyed. Divided and unable to resist.

They can only exchange their most precious things for the end of everything—they and some forces—the biggest of which is the Yharnan City Council—they made a deal with these forces, and these forces will help them regain their underground positions. It is the transfer of part of the permanent power from now on.

Chen Yan remained skeptical:

"As far as I know, Spyro Industries served the ground itself in the past operation process. "

Cyborg Quinn immediately understood what Chen Yan meant—the purpose of Spyro Industries mining the Snake Kiss Rock was to provide supplies to the ground, and its position was naturally suppressed by the ground forces, and the financial means were enough for them to drink a pot. The deformed currency system is the best proof-in this case, why do the forces on the ground have any reason to have trouble with the underground?
Facts have proved that means of war can never be compared with financial means backed by violence.

"Because of electricity. "

Cyborg Quinn answered briefly without hesitation.

Listening to his simple answer, Chen Yan suddenly realized that the matter had reached the beginning of this long conversation——

All contradictions originate from electricity, end in electricity, and are extended by electricity.

"Society is developing, Mr. Chen, society is constantly developing, and the era of the internal combustion engine even passed away at once. After Spyro Industries provided 80% of the electricity for the entire Northern Federation and maintained it for a long time, this Society—even the place where this society extends—overseas colonies, is already inseparable from the electricity generated by the snake-kissed rock. "

"And as far as you know, the underground Snake's Kiss Rock mining area is actually expanding-those strange snakes, they multiply crazily, and keep moving towards the center of the earth, turning everything they touch into snakes kiss rock. "

"How long can the Snake Kiss Rock be dug?"As far as I know, only three years ago, the ore reserves of the four underground mining areas have been proven, which is enough for the society at that time to use for more than 500 years. "

Huge electric power—sufficient energy has promoted the progress of society and the development of science and technology, allowing the Northern Federation to establish in just a few years. Starting from Yanan City, it spreads among the island chains of the empire, and the seabed crust The submarine cables above allowed the empire to establish a large number of light and heavy industrial foundries in overseas colonies in just a few years, allowing the first spacecraft to enter space some time ago.

"None of this happened overnight. "

The pursuit of electricity led to the establishment of Spyro Industries, and the electricity provided by the Snake Kiss Rock explored by Spyro Industries became the premise of all future development. After the vigorous development of emerging technology industries based on electricity, more Electricity demand arises.

A certain amount of resources can never satisfy everyone. The Snake's Kiss Rock reserves are huge, but the production capacity is very low, especially after the riots in the Black Paradise, there was even a serious productivity downgrade in the underground—the miners were in the riots The casualties were huge.

Fortunately, a steady stream of new immigrants quickly added to this, and the mining team continued to expand.

"Resources at any fixed point in time are limited. If you use it, I don't have it.

Disputes arise from this.

The emergence of the Black Paradise Riot is also for the same reason.

There will always be people who urgently need the Snake's Kiss Rock, and there will always be forces on the ground who will struggle with the distribution of underground minerals, so invaders appear.

Only this time—the riot in Black Paradise—ends with the victory of the local forces in Yanan City—and this group of victorious forces is not the same group that originally controlled the supply chain of Spyro Industries' Snake's Kiss Rock. "

Cyborg Quinn was sloppy here, because he didn't explain exactly who these forces were - he obviously didn't intend to let Chen Yan know.

And Cyborg Quinn also obviously knew that Chen Yan had heard his concealment, which was obviously a very embarrassing thing, especially after the cooperation between the two had reached the point where it is now very harmonious—— After Chen Yan's return, the cooperation has obviously made great progress, but Cyborg Quinn's concealment will destroy the poor trust that was just established.

As compensation for concealing himself, Cyborg Quinn said something else—something that was not so secretive, rarely noticed, but crucial:

"After all that happened, the defeated left the city of Yharnam.

Without the blessing of energy, they would not be able to gain a foothold in Yanan City, or even the Northern Federation—or even the land of the Empire.

They need new markets, new worlds, new...everything.

So the empire's overseas colonization plan came into being. The defeated people fled the empire's land and went overseas to find new opportunities and new energy sources that might replace electricity... You know, it's almost impossible, Electricity is the most suitable energy source that people can use. "

"It is worth mentioning that although they are said to be "losers", they are not weak in themselves. There are too many factors for victory in the war, and it is not necessarily the strong who win the war. "

"If you're lucky...maybe we'll meet those who were defeated in the underground mining area soon. "

Chen Yan thought the news was useful, so the cooperative relationship between the two was repaired to a certain extent.

"Having said that - Byron Weiss and the Mechanic Society, as well as the temporary North Bureau, the three phases of cooperation between them include the part of armed separatism of the underground mining area.

If you read that document, you should already know all about it. "

Chen Yan didn't type this time, because he had indeed read it very clearly. The details involved in the agreement document basically explained their original underground plan very clearly.

But the agreement only mentioned the part of [White Snake], and the language was very vague. This was the fundamental reason why Chen Yan wanted to ask Cyborg Quinn.

"Similarly, the third phase of cooperation also has a part about [White Snake], but the confidentiality level of that part is too high. According to the rules of the North Bureau—just the rules of the North Bureau, it is not Byron Weiss or the Mechanic Society. I don't know the rules of the two—according to the rules of the North Bureau, plans with a high level of confidentiality are not explained in writing, and information is only circulated among relevant investigators with a high priority. "

No new words appeared on the dim yellow screen.

Chen Yan sniffed the sea breeze and thought in his heart.

Things have developed to the present, and the White Snake has disappeared. She must exist in a corner of the Internet. Judging from the way she left, her location should be safe.

Her hometown is in a certain part of the [wilderness], but there are very few passages leading to the [wilderness] in this world. Chen Yan has one, but the white snake has already left, and he has no chance to tell the white snake about it. up.

And when is the "next dawn" that the white snake mentioned?

Is... tomorrow morning?
Chen Yan thinks it must not be.

What Chen Yan cares most about is what's inside the white snake's stomach...

What's in her belly?
Could it be that the divine friendship between two data lives will give birth to a new life?

Birth of a new data life?That is too common sense, so that it is unbelievable...

This kind of speculation and deduction is so fucking magical, so magical that Chen Yan felt that something was wrong with his brain.

The description of "The Next Dawn" made Chen Yan faintly uneasy, because he thought of a similar description before... that was not a good thing.

While he was contemplating, the yellowed screen lit up.

"In short, you don't need to worry, because they will definitely not be able to use [White Snake] in a short time. They sealed [White Snake] for three years, because the dirty things like Bei Er no longer exist, and there is no way to let [White Snake] The White Snake] has really descended into the container of this world. "

Cyborg Quinn always refers to the North Bureau enforcer as a "dirty thing".

"I've told you before that the production process of [Executor] is very complicated, and the selection process is particularly troublesome. Most importantly, even if you find the right person, the process of transformation depends on luck... All of this Resulting in almost no qualified persons. "

"A container like Beier is different from a normal [executor]. In addition to meeting the conditions just mentioned, a container like Beier also needs to be "adapted" to [White Snake], just like computer hardware and Adaptations between software... that's even less, so they haven't found one for three years. "

"I reckon, it will be enough to find... an existence like Bei Er, which can almost be described as a miracle. "

Chen Yan probably understood the cause and effect of the whole incident, so he changed the topic back to the main topic:
"All the information I have found about magpies is this document. "

He texted the file to Cyborg Quinn on his cell phone.

After a moment.

A message popped up on the yellowed screen of Cyborg Quinn's phone:

"From the point of view of an honest businessman, you have fulfilled your promise - help me find the clues of the magpie.

The content in this document is very useful to me, thank you. "

Chen Yan typed quickly:
"I once heard that there is a wandering doctor named [Crow] in the lower city. He is of Asian descent. Is it related to this magpie? "

Chen Yan once heard that the crow was fighting against the pharmacy with its own strength, that is to say, the relationship between the crow and the magpie was hostile.

"Ok?I've never heard of this guy. "

Cyborg Quinn responded.

"A person like Magpie, running a place like a pharmacy...Although it is easy to make friends with some people, it is also easy to offend others.

Who wants others to know that he has a demihuman heart?Subhumans are considered dirty by most people.

Those who have the money to change their belongings are mostly rich people. The rich people are most afraid of being excluded from the circle, so that they will have no way to get in touch with the information in the circle, which is fatal to them.

More importantly, most rich people have a firm belief in the Holy Light—that damned evil god has brainwashed people into thinking that body modification is an evil thing. If others know that they have changed their body parts, Most likely this person will be treated as a heretic, hanged and burned...

So, the crow you mentioned may be someone affected by the industrial chain of Magpie Pharmacy? "

Discussions without sufficient arguments cannot lead to any valid results.

"Cyborg, our conversation may continue after tomorrow, but for now I must leave for a moment. "

Cyborg Quinn responded to Chen Yan with humor:
"As long as you don't put me in a signal-blocking box again, you can do anything. "

Before Chen Yan put down Cyborg Quinn's phone, a new text message popped up on the screen.

"Finally, I want to remind you kindly, find a place where there are no people as soon as possible, and throw Swarm down—throw it anywhere. "

"He is very dangerous, his power... Even if it leaks even a little bit, it is enough to cause a disaster that is almost equivalent to an explosion in a thermal power plant!" "

"You can definitely imagine that if I find something wrong, even if I abandon the container carrier, I will enter the network world and never return..."

Chen Yan put the phone in the drawer, and finally made the only sound in this conversation.

"Then, good night."

Chen Yan left her bedroom, turned her head and went down to the first floor—the first floor of the original apartment, and now the third floor below the deck of the ship. Although it still smells like the sea, it can no longer smell the cold sea breeze. .

He failed to knock on a cabin door, because Osmandis was waiting for him at the bedroom door.

"You're here."

The boy's bored expression just now became full of energy after seeing Chen Yan.

He didn't even ask him why he took so long. Chen Yan wondered if this kid was eavesdropping on his conversation with Cyborg Quinn... No, he and Cyborg Quinn were typing and communicating the whole time, so it was impossible for him to be stolen. Listen, so, is it... peeking?
When Chen Yan put his puzzled gaze on Osmandis's one-eyed eye, the boy seemed to have no intention of talking about the topic of tonight:
"Let's agree that if you're going to enter the zoo, you have to be there for 1 hour and 47 minutes, never more than 60 seconds off.

During this 1 hour and 47 minutes, you have to survive.

If you die, I will suffer too. "

Chen Yan said vigilantly:
"I need to make some preparations..."

There is no doubt in Osmandis' voice:

"It's useless. The zoo is a narrow space transformed by the alien evil god with special means. It is different from all the spaces you have seen before that border the wilderness. Thermal weapons are completely useless there... …

Unless you can get a bullet made from Baum's eggs from the Northern Federal Bureau of Anomalous Biology Investigation. "
