Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

It was also this gunshot that shook Chen Yan out of his synaesthesia - with this gunshot, the synaesthesia ended.

He rubbed his slightly aching head from the pressure of synaesthesia, looked at the dark red blood stains under the metal wall, and thought of something.

"Sir... what's going on here?"

Swarm whispered:

"I could smell dead people being dragged away ... just dead and dragged away, so there's no rancid smell."

Chen Yan suddenly realized that when the conflict broke out in Area C, the aftermath was done very quickly. This shows that the group of people who raided Area C...the group led by the Asian in the synaesthesia did not want the outside world to find out the truth about Area C of.

From another point of view—Chen Yan vaguely saw a lot of fleeing people in the synaesthesia, indicating that when the conflict broke out in Area C, the crowd was not evacuated—the conflict was unexpected by the residents of Area C situation occurred.

Things are more complicated than he imagined.

Chen Yan stood up, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow flashing again.

He followed in the direction of the shadow in a deep voice.

He passed through several cubicles, walked through a narrow alley full of discarded neon tubes and plastic debris, and walked along a road among the ruins of collapsed buildings. Finally, he saw it in a hole in a broken steel wall. To the shadow's true face—

That is……

a cat? !
The whole body is snow-white... No, it should be said that it is an "ice blue" cat with a little light blue all over its body. It is now squatting in the hollow of the steel wall. It has a slender body. I have seen Siamese cats before, but the ice blue body is obviously longer than Siamese cats, its limbs are much longer than Siamese cats, and its tail is almost as long as its body. It looks like some kind of large carnivorous cat. Cats……

The ice blue cat was lying down and eating something, but it was still very alert. As soon as Chen Yan approached, it suddenly arched its body without warning and turned its head——

In the hollow shadows, its face was covered in blood.

The blood is not its own, but just from the prey under it, or maybe it can't be regarded as prey, because the life under it has been dead for a long time.

It was a dead man.

The ice-blue cat jumped into the shadows within the hollow.

Chen Yan stepped forward and stepped into the hollow, only to feel a rancid smell blowing over his face.

Even if Swarm didn't remind him this time, Chen Yan knew that the people on the ground had been dead for a long time.

That ice-blue cat is actually eating dead people?
Cats generally don't eat things that have been dead for too long, let alone rotting corpses?

Besides...

How could a cat I had never seen before give me such a familiar feeling?
The "familiarity" this time is different from any previous "familiarity", as if... as if...

Thinking stops here.

Chen Yan was a little anxious to find that she couldn't even describe this strange "familiarity".

While Chen Yan was in a state of confusion, Swarm had already come to him.

"Something just passed by."

Swarm looked at the direction the cat was leaving and scratched his head.

"Huh? What is that?"

Chen Yan squatted down and said:

"It's a cat."

Swarm said in a positive tone:
"Probably not."

Chen Yan didn't know what Swarm was denying, he thought to himself, maybe the corpse would tell him some truths.

He put his hand on the edge of the corpse, and the next moment——

In the field of vision is the frantically fleeing crowd. No one knows why the gunshots suddenly sounded on the street. Most people’s first impression of this riot is that when the gunshots sounded, blood had already been splashed into the crowd .

The owner of the field of vision gradually deviated from the crowd in a panic, perhaps because he was too frightened and lost his mind, he found a random corner to hide.

As the gunshots faded away, he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"The worker bees have left."

The voice on the phone was talking to him, and because the corpse's ears were still intact, Chen Yan listened to the conversation completely.

"The worker bees will come back, and they are looking for the resistance faction hidden in Area C."

"Damn it... where are the resistance faction hiding?"

"We don't know, no one knows, the banquet hall was attacked, and the great figures of the Advent faction were also fatally hit."

"What?! Does it mean that both the Advent faction and the resistance faction launched an attack on each other at the same time?! It's...unbelievable! Days Island is about to become chaotic!"

"Not necessarily, the Adventist faction not only brought the letter of appointment from the empire, but also brought powerful firepower - several heavy carrier aircraft brought the strength of two companies, and they were heavily armed fighters with heavy firepower. It is much stronger than the equipment of worker bees."

"Have the worker bees surrendered to the Advent faction who just came to the island?"

"The situation of the worker bees is more complicated than before. Since they mixed with the guards, the worker bees are not as pure as before. What happened today is too sudden. Everyone doesn't know which branch of the worker bees entered the C area. .”

"I'm scared... I have to leave here, but Area C is completely blocked by worker bees..."

"The company will remember your loyalty."

"What... what?! Mr. Parrett! I have to get out of here! You have to help me! I have the company's hard drive with me! It contains the transaction bills between us and the Gunpowder Store!"

"Beep beep..."

The phone was hung up.

The person on the other end of the phone apparently didn't care about the "transaction bill with the Gunpowder Store".

The owner of the field of vision looked at the phone, his hands trembling violently, and the feeling of "abandoned" rushed to his mind instantly.

It was also at this time that footsteps sounded outside his hiding place, and a sense of fear rushed to his forehead. He hid his body in the shadow of the steel wall in the hollow, and did not dare to move.

The footsteps are getting closer, there are about three people outside, the footsteps are very heavy, they should be the heavy infantry of the worker bees...

He was about to go crazy due to the sense of fear, which forced him to make an extraordinary attempt - he stared at the figure that appeared outside the void, and whispered silently - this person was actually the same as Chen Yan , is a [Whisperer].

The first figure that appeared outside the hole paused, then turned around slowly, aiming the gun at his companion.

The gunshots rang out—the gunshots exploded outside the hollow one after another, and two people were killed and one injured outside the steel wall in an instant!
The owner of the vision didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't continue to whisper to control the only remaining worker bee—he might have been dazzled by fear, so he got up and was about to run to the other side of the hollow.

A gunshot from behind took his life.

The person wearing the same standard clothing as in the previous synaesthesia checked that he was dead, compared his face with his mobile phone, and after confirming that he was not the person he was looking for, he left him in the void like a dead dog middle.

Synaesthesia ends here.

Chen Yan covered his head, scolding this person in his heart for being stupid, and said to Swarm:
"Something bad happened on the island... There was a conflict between two groups of forces. One side should be the Imperial Army, known as the [Advent Faction], and the other side is a certain force on Days Island... Maybe it's Days Island. The original rulers of the island, they are called the [Resistance Faction]...the conflict between the two is the cause of the dispute in Area C."

Swarm seemed not to have heard Chen Yan's words. He stared at the corpse on the ground with black eyes for a while, and then suddenly said:

"This guy is just a shell."

Chen Yan:

"???"

Swarm glanced at Chen Yan's puzzled expression, and explained:

"Usually, when a person dies, something will be born on the body, um... it is an invisible and intangible thing, like a puff of breath... similar to a fart, it is easy to be affected by various breaths. Blow away."

He clumsily explained in his own words:

"But not in this man."

Chen Yan said:

"You mean undead?"

Swarm scratched his head:
"Seems to be?"

Swarm has not been in this world for a long time, and his cultural understanding of this world is limited. He does not know the specific concept of "necromancer", but only vaguely knows what this kind of thing is.

Before Chen Yan could think about it, Swarm pointed to the direction the cat left just now:
"The undead were taken away by that thing that looked like a cat."

He paused for a moment, then said:

"That thing that looks like a cat is actually dead."

Hearing what he said, the strange "familiarity" that Chen Yan felt from the cat just now came to mind again.

"Swarm, can you catch that cat for me?"

Facing Chen Yan's request, Swarm showed a very serious expression of thought:

"Yes, but it may destroy the physical structure of that thing, and it will be discovered by others here."

It doesn't matter, Chen Yan can use synaesthesia to get what he wants.

"Then, please begin."

Swarm looked up, straightened his nose and sniffed hard.

Immediately, his neck twisted suddenly, and the whole person rushed towards a certain direction in the hollow like a cannonball.

Chen Yan looked at Swarm who disappeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, and was immediately full of confidence in him.

He chased in the direction where Swarm disappeared. Since he couldn't keep up with Swarm's speed at all, he could only observe Swarm's direction through synesthesia with the surrounding walls and objects, while speeding up as much as possible. pace of.

As Swarm moved forward, Chen Yan went deeper and deeper into Area C.

The beehives in the depths of Area C were not illuminated by any lights. At this time, the sun was setting, and the sight in the entire mechanical beehive was even darker than when we came here just now, almost reaching the level of "twilight is already deep". Chen Yan had no choice but to open it. The phone's flashlight, and at the same time slowed down his pace.

He quickly passed through the hole in the steel wall and entered a street full of cabinets for electronic products. Most of the glass cabinets in these cubicles were destroyed, and it was obvious that someone took advantage of the chaos to rob.

What Chen Yan couldn't see was that not far behind him, the person who had entered Area C from the beginning was still far behind.

This person doesn't seem to care about getting close to Chen Yan to eavesdrop on the news, he just needs to follow behind Chen Yan to determine Chen Yan's location.

Chen Yan ran across the entire street and passed a huge billboard made of neon tubes. From the hollow part under the billboard, he saw the area below the floor. There were lights in the beehives in that area, but those lights It can only be scattered into part of Area C through the huge billboard. After Chen Yan passed through the neon tube billboard, the colorful scattered light almost completely disappeared.

After passing through a piece of ruins made of plastic, steel and glass, and a large mechanical equipment that was destroyed to a complete paralysis, a faint light appeared in front of him—a colorful and dense light. Chen Yan determined that the light came from a neon tube.

Continuing to walk forward, there was an asphalt ground under Chen Yan's feet, and the street in front of him became narrow and constricted. Electric poles and dense and complicated wires appeared around him, and it was impossible to tell where they were going. Most of those wires were hidden in the surrounding area. In the more two-story model houses——

A large number of model houses stacked up in various shapes filled the vision illuminated by the flashlight of the mobile phone. It's as simple as an ordinary slum.

At the next corner, the smell of tobacco appeared in the air, and two figures emerged under the dark red light——

Swarm turned his back to Chen Yan, and his breathing almost stopped completely. He arched his back and made a defensive posture against the figure at the end of the dark alley at the corner of the street.

Opposite Swarm, a figure in a black windbreaker was facing Swarm sideways, pinching the cat that Chen Yan had seen before with one hand, his right hand looked a little strange, with the index finger and middle finger shining dark like flames. The red light, this flame-like dark red contrasted with the scattered dark red neon lights at this time, as if his index finger and middle finger were emitting tassel-like fire light.

The appearance of Chen Yan caught that person's attention.

The red light reflected on the man's face, as if dyed the pale skin with a layer of blood, and against the backdrop of his pitch-black eyes, it seemed that the surrounding darkness had become less profound.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Looking at the man's face, Chen Yan couldn't help blurting out:
"Klein!"

How could Klein Justus be here?

Isn't he still locked up in Yanan City Public Prison...

Chen Yan realized that in just a few days, Klein Justus must have done something with his family connections.

Klein looked at Chen Yan, and his right hand obviously exerted more force, and the cat's ice-blue body deformed.

But the cat didn't seem to be in pain, because it didn't even struggle at all.

"I did some research on the Byron Weiss Group."

Klein said such words suddenly, and Chen Yan didn't understand what he meant at all.

"Something bad happened on Days Island, and someone was behind it, and the sudden riot yesterday planted the seeds of instability for the mechanical hive.

Once death occurs, hatred will follow and spread, generation after generation without end.

What Kedays Island needs most now is stability, not internal friction between forces due to mutual attacks. "

Chen Yan said in a deep voice:
"Is it the conflict between the so-called [Advent faction] and [Resistance faction]..."

Klein replied:

"They forcibly classify people into categories, which is wrong in itself, and it's just a clumsy way for them to crowd out dissidents."

"The situation on Days Island is more complicated than I imagined, and as the [Adventist] they call, I have much less power in my hands than I imagined - I have just been here, and I have been emptied. "

"Chen Yan, come and help me."

The three people present - what even Swarm didn't realize was that at this moment, the person who had been following Chen Yan from outside Area C was holding a mobile phone and using a camera to record what happened in the dark alley everything.
