Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

"The group has not yet solved the problem of compatibility between consciousness and artificial body. Even if you get a new body for a while, how long can you guarantee that your consciousness will exist in this body?"

The language that came out of the hunter's barely intact mouth was very calm, and he couldn't tell that his whole body had been smashed to pieces.

"Even if you get a body, after uploading your consciousness, can you guarantee that you will still be you?"

The tour guide didn't speak, he didn't seem to know much about it.

The hunter was also silent, the sea water began to repair his body, the tragic wound gradually changed from bright red to pink, and the granulation sprouted from the wound gradually became new muscle tissue...

It was also at this time that a long-lost voice appeared in Chen Yan's head:

'I am back. '

Osmandis is back!

It seems that he has restored the vision shared with Chen Yan.

'In someone's eyes, there are coordinates. '

'Get the coordinates and go to the tiger area. '

Chen Yan immediately understood that someone among the invitees must have been to the Tiger District before coming here.

There are coordinates in the eyes, which means that this person has seen the tiger area before?

But Chen Yan has also seen the appearance of the tiger area - just from the picture alone, there must not be many people who are more familiar with the tiger area than Chen Yan.

In Chen Yan's eyes, the old picture is obviously not good, which means that this "coordinate" must be fresh, it has just been left behind.

He didn't want to continue guessing. Now, he just needed to find out the person who had the coordinates of the tiger area from the crowd.

'Look them straight in the eye. '

Osmandis gave a method to find the coordinates, but this method is simply rotten. Even under the light emitted by the tour guide, the surrounding darkness is still thick. If you want to see a person's eyes clearly under such circumstances, It is ridiculously difficult.

Chen Yan looked around.

When the guide and the hunter clashed, the crowd had already been scared and fled in all directions.

They didn't manage to run very far. There were a large number of shadowy sea fish waiting quietly around the spilled hunter's blood. These bloodthirsty little creatures didn't dare to devour the hunter's blood, so they could only stay within the range where the blood spread. Outside, waiting for the prey within the range of blood spread to throw themselves into the net.

Fortunately, the guides and hunters who were in a confrontation didn't have time to chase them.

More and more fish make the whole waters full of various sounds, disordered tides make the sea wind messy, noisy escape sounds, wailing sounds from falling into the water, injured tourists being killed by swimming fish Cheers erupted in the waters during burial, shots were fired, and some kind of amphibian growled...

Now it's really time for the aquarium animals to let off steam.

Arist released some ink as a cover for Chen Yan, so Chen Yan was able to survive the parade of several huge sea fish.

But it's hard to say for others, Chen Yan must hurry up.

He kept moving forward, spotted an invitee who was running towards him, and with the help of Arist, he got to the side of the person and patted the person on the shoulder without warning.

"Hi."

The man turned his head suddenly out of fear, and the gaze reflected in his eyes just caught Chen Yan's gaze.

'That's not it. '

Osmandis gave a clear response.

Chen Yan immediately left this person and swam towards the next person.

Moving forward with the help of Arist, and making people stop by whispering, Chen Yan used this method to easily catch people who were fleeing one after another——

A total of eight people.

Including Xika and Glass, none of these eight people had coordinates in their eyes.

Chen Yan raised his head, and suddenly found that he had circled the area where the light existed, and none of the eight people caught had coordinates, which meant that the coordinates were in the eyes of the person in the gunpowder shop who was being chased by the dolphins , or...

Chen Yan looked into the arena.

At this moment, at the position where the halo is the strongest, the conversation between the guide and the hunter started again.

Chen Yan didn't want to listen at first, and just wanted to hurry up and find the coordinates to the tiger area, but the emotion coming from his synaesthesia was too strong for him to ignore.

The tour guide, who had been condensed into a body again from a snake, had once again stepped on the pair of heavy black iron boots tied with iron chains. Chen Yan suddenly realized that this instrument of torture was not a "shackle", but a certain type of "restriction". device".

He was particularly anxious, because the tide that had been silent for a long time began to rise, and the tide quickly spread from the waist upwards, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it reached the chest, and he already felt his limbs began to stiffen, and his body trembled unconsciously ——This is a precursor to hypothermia in sea water.

Along with the high tide came a more turbulent underwater undercurrent. Without the help of Arist, Chen Yan might not have been able to gain a firm foothold in the water.

The increasingly turbulent sea water not only makes people unsteady, but also more creatures brought by the tide finally approached the crowd——Chen Yan heard the scream, it was a tourist who was just checked by him, he I remember that the man had become a little nervous due to excessive fright.

With the help of Arist, Chen Yan desperately moved towards the lost tourists.

He must find the person who has the coordinates as soon as possible.

With the help of Arist, he bypassed the area where the guide and the hunter were. The few tourists who had just fled in this direction had already fled away. The last visitor he could find was on the edge of the central water.

In the dark, he turned on the flash of his phone and shone into the man's eyes.

'Not this person. '

Chen Yan felt cold in his heart.

If it wasn't this person, it could only be the person from the gunpowder shop who was taken away by the dolphin, or... one of the guides and hunters.

But the person in the gunpowder shop has been dragged to nowhere by the dolphins, and his life and death are unknown, which means he has to find the two monsters where the halo is...

Osmandis didn't continue to hear the voice, he knew that Chen Yan understood everything.

Chen Yan made a short psychological adjustment, then turned around silently, and after communicating with Arist, with her help, he swam towards the direction of the halo.

As the halo crescendos, the guide's voice also appears:

""No.18 Month" is about to dock, and the next sailing will be in these two days. This time is different from before. "No.18 Month" will not complete the whole world tour like before, but will A short pilgrimage along the chain of five islands of the Empire."

Chen Yan followed the dim halo emitted by the tour guide, looked into the field, and saw:

In the shallow water, the hunter's body has been repaired by sea water, only the head is still tattered. Although there is a complete face, the lost eyeball has not been replaced.

The good thing is he doesn't seem to feel pain, and he doesn't care that he's ragged—he seems to be used to it.

He was floating on the sea water a few meters away from the tour guide, and the only remaining eye was empty. At this moment, Chen Yan couldn't get synesthesia from him, as if he himself was nothingness and didn't exist.

"How can I see the eyes of the two of them one after another without scaring them off..."

Chen Yan kept adjusting his position.

The closer he was to the tour guide, the more cautious he was, and the synaesthesia became a yardstick to ensure the minimum safe distance.

Holding the rusty stick covered with barnacles, the tour guide was still talking to himself:

"We will have more new colleagues, more natural extraordinary creatures in the park, and more invitees to the zoo."

"Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, we..."

The hunter interrupted the guide with calm language and rudeness.

"It has nothing to do with you, newcomer."

The tour guide's laughter turned a corner, and Chen Yan had reason to believe that he was very angry.

It seems that because his muscles are too stiff, the laughter is more unnatural, like the whimpering of a crow that has been strangled by the neck:
"Everything here is based on [Invitation], a powerful rule that is magical and almost powerful.

[Invitation] was born in the [Desolation] of [Wildness], but it can act between the wilderness and the world——

[Invitation] is the only super rule in the zoo that can take effect across different [world levels]. No one can refuse the power of [Invitation]. Therefore, the zoo appeared, we became employees, and animals joined this extended family.

Hunter, don't you expect anything? "

He was actually lobbying.

What does he want to do?
Although his back was facing Chen Yan, Chen Yan could still feel him staring at the hunter with those eyes hidden in the shadows.

"The dead soul that should have vanished into thin air long ago, don't you want to know the true power of [Invitation]? The true power that binds you here!"

He used such impassioned adjectives, but the hunter was unmoved.

The hunter didn't know if he was pretending to be stupid, but kept silent. The synaesthesia from the water let Chen Yan know that he was getting healthier and his heartbeat was getting more and more stable.

"Since we can invite the dead souls of this world into the wilderness, there must be a passage along the way back. Any connection must be two-way. If we can't find it, it must be because we haven't found it."

The hunter suddenly spoke here:
"If the director knows your ambition, he will be very sad."

The tour guide bent over laughing, but did not laugh:

"The master of the garden is much bigger than you imagined. He has praised my self-motivation many times."

The hunter stood up from the water, and the limbs reborn in the sea supported him to continue to confront the guide, but the eye in the eye socket couldn't grow anyhow.

It was also at this time that Chen Yan, who walked around behind the tour guide, was able to look at the hunter——

The four eyes met for a moment, and the hunter was in a trance, and Chen Yan also confirmed the news from his eyes.

'not him! '

Osmandis's voice broke out in Chen Yan's ear for the first time.

'Be careful!it's coming! '

Chen Yan saw the hunter's eyes, and the tour guide saw Chen Yan from the reflection in the hunter's pupil.

next moment--

The rusty cane covered with barnacles appeared more than ten centimeters above Chen Yan's forehead. Chen Yan was caught off guard and couldn't dodge it in time, and his head would explode in the next moment!
At the same moment, he saw the guide's eyes through a dim halo.

What kind of eyes are those?
Inside the scarlet pupils, there seemed to be countless small snakes entangled together. Those snakes were of different thicknesses and sizes, and there was no order of arrangement. They were connected to each other in a way of swallowing their heads and tails. They are tightly squeezed together, occupying the entire eye socket, so that there is no room for the pupil at all——

The tour guide is blind.

Halfway through this moment, Chen Yan's attention had shifted to the tour guide's face.

That pale and swollen face had almost lost its normal shape, but Chen Yan could recognize it no matter what.

"Uncle Three!"

Chen Yan called out his name, and the rusty cane covered with barnacles stopped abruptly two centimeters in front of his forehead.

'found it!get ready!let's go! '

Amidst Osmandis's roar, Chen Yan felt his world spin for a while.

……

When Chen Yan opened his eyes again, there was no sea water around him, fine snowflakes were falling from the sky, and in front of him was a place he was familiar with - the tiger area of ​​Byron Weiss Zoo!
He looked around and found that he was sitting on the edge of the bus platform in the Tiger District. The tram tracks in front of him had been covered with snow, and there was a faint light from the public telephone box beside him. Looking at the warm twilight, he suddenly felt It feels as if everything has returned to the day when I first had a conversation with Johnny Mergovin, who had only one head left...

Erister on the waist has disappeared.

His first thought when he came back to his senses:
The tour guide turned out to be Uncle San!It's Liang Ansheng!

Chen Yan recovered from the huge shock, and immediately thought that Wilson had indeed taken away the body of the third uncle before, because Chen Yan wanted to honor the deal with Lawrence, the agent of the zoo.

At that time, the third uncle was indeed dead and couldn't die anymore, but now he looks alive and kicking. Chen Yan probably because the body was filled with a new soul - the one he met when he first walked into the zoo. Third uncle, that "dead soul", became the new owner of that corpse!

But why did the zoo choose such a... person to become a tour guide and wield so much power?

Something special must have happened during this time.

Chen Yan thought, counting this third uncle, now there is a living third uncle in the zoo, and there is a living third uncle in Yanan City outside the zoo.

I don't know if there are still third uncles alive in other places...

As an employee of the zoo, sooner or later, Chen Yan will have to deal with the third uncle again.

Dealing with someone who died and never died...it's a magical feeling.

Chen Yan raised the gun in his hand.

The Viper VIII recovered dry after being soaked out of the water and was ready to be loaded.

Chen Yan took out another box of ammunition from his cross-body bag. The ammunition in the North Bureau was sealed and would not get wet, so he was able to load the dry ammunition.

After finishing all this, Chen Yan sat up and looked towards the tiger area.

Anyway, Tiger Zone is here.

'Be careful. '

A hint from Osmandis appeared in his ear, and Chen Yan held a gun and walked to the gate of the breeding area in the tiger area along the familiar route.

The door was ajar.

He opened the door with the muzzle of his gun and entered the breeding area, only to see that the scene in front of him had changed drastically.
