Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 809 Miao Shuisheng's Nightmare Drifting
Miao Shuisheng was silent, he understood what the other party meant: This is very dangerous, but you have no choice.

At this time, Chen Yan understood that Miao Shuisheng's mobile phone was not an ordinary version, but like his mobile phone, it was a special external limb connected with brain waves.

In synaesthesia, Chen Yan heard Miao Shuisheng's inner voice:
'He wants to control the mobile phone through software, restore some of the original functions of the mobile phone, and then use these functions to detect...and control my brain. '

Miao Shuisheng didn't hesitate for a long time. He has a strong ability to accept. He had already learned basic programming before the birth of the Internet, so he had a general understanding of what the program can do.

He typed very fast, and when the last sound of typing on the keyboard fell, he had already sent a message.

"Okay, let's get started. "

Chen Yan was surprised by his decisiveness and recklessness.

After Miao Shuisheng received the file from the other side of the chat room, he used many methods and finally successfully unpacked it.

He followed the program instructions line by line, and found that this thing is a very common brain wave synchronization program-detecting changes in brain waves through a special wave sensing device in the mobile phone and recording them.

'It's just a record, not an analysis. Then, for them, it is possible to use some unknown technology to directly judge the specific situation of a person's mental state through brain waves, or even something deeper. '

Miao Shuisheng was not impatient, he read the code again without haste, and confirmed that his guess was correct.

After a moment of thought, he closed the chat room.

Chen Yan knew that for a private chat room on the Internet, any party's logout would be prompted, so after Miao Shuisheng went offline, the person on the other side of the chat room should have also gone offline.

After Miao Shuisheng closed the chat room, he continued to turn off the computer's wireless network, unplugged the wireless network card from the computer host, and then uninstalled the network card driver.

After completing this series of operations, he opened a certain folder in the computer.

The folder is densely packed with video files.

He clicks on the first video in the folder and makes it full screen:
In the black and white bedroom, there is only a bed and a person sleeping on the bed, and the person who is sleeping is Miao Shuisheng.

The angle of the video is directly above the bed, and Miao Shuisheng was not covered with a quilt, and was only wearing short-sleeved shorts.

The video lasted six hours, so Miao Shuisheng adjusted the video to double speed.

At a certain point, a glaring wound suddenly appeared on Miao Shuisheng's neck.

The wound looked like it was injured by a sharp weapon, but he was obviously not hurt.

Looking at this scene, Chen Yan thought to himself: "This is what he just said. If you get hurt in a dream, you will get hurt in reality." '

Since the wound was right on the main artery, the gushing blood quickly soaked the bed sheet, and Miao Shuisheng felt great pain in his sleep. His chest arched upwards, his eyes were closed and his expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to get out of the wound. Waking up from a nightmare, but no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't wake up.

Miao Shuisheng looked at himself in the video, moved the mouse, and opened the side remarks column of the video.

Chen Yan only saw that it said in the remarks column:

"Dream content:
I went inside the Byron Weiss Zoo and saw another me.

He asked me why I didn't want to save him.

I told him that his death was too sudden, and that the ninja from Sakura Country was a completely unpredictable variable.

He lost his mind with pain and despair and wanted me to stay with him.

Of course, it is impossible for me to stay with him, but in the dream, I have no fighting ability.

He was chasing after, and I was running ahead.

He has the blessing of the power in the zoo, but I am constantly suppressed by the power of the zoo. Under the ebb and flow, I was quickly caught up by him.

He hurt me and tried to destroy my mental body.

Fortunately, I resisted. "

When Chen Yan saw this sentence in the remarks column on the side of the video, the video just played until Miao Shuisheng was lying on the bed, almost completely torn apart.

It was the first time Chen Yan saw such a bloody scene, and felt that his spirit was polluted for a while.

After watching the video, he also understood that Miao Shuisheng's so-called "I resisted" actually meant "Although I was killed in my dream, I resisted in reality."

Perhaps it was because the third uncle in the dream was not very powerful in combat, or maybe in reality Miao Shuisheng's perfectly fleshed body was too tough. Chen Yan saw Miao Shuisheng in the video slowly recovering his body until the end of the video By then, his body had returned to normal.

After watching the video, Chen Yan thought, there is still one question that cannot be answered:
How could Miao Shuisheng be so sure in the remarks that he was in the zoo?
He went to the zoo in a dream, and the comments on the video were written in reality. How could he think that seeing the zoo in the dream meant [entering] the zoo?

He must know something else.

Miao Shuisheng just clicked through the videos in the folder one by one, and each video recorded what happened to him lying in bed at night.

Through the notes in the video file, Chen Yan learned that it is not that Miao Shuisheng has never tried to avoid sleep, but every time he does not sleep for a few days, the speed of mental exhaustion will show an exponential increase, and he will continue to sleep. One day after not sleeping for a few days, I fell into a complete nightmare.

The most serious one, he was trapped in a nightmare for three days and three nights because he was too exhausted. This time he was not pulled into the zoo, nor into the Sunset Boulevard, but into a dark glacier crevasse.

This time he didn't see Third Uncle, but saw himself—he saw countless selves in the ice crystals on both sides of the glacier crack, and each of them was telling him different words, and those words made him crazy, Nearly having a nervous breakdown.

Chen Yan couldn't imagine how desperate he was at the beginning, because just watching the video, Chen Yan couldn't bear the huge mental pressure.

But Miao Shuisheng still resisted.

Chen Yan thought that Miao Shuisheng was able to withstand such strong mental oppression, probably because he himself was a creation of the [Perfect Flesh Ascension Ceremony], a transcendent person whose body and spirit were far beyond normal, so even in I was trapped in such a desperate environment for three days and three nights, but I didn't have a mental breakdown because of it.

Chen Yan asked himself, if he was replaced, he might not be able to last for 10 minutes, and the loss of control would turn into corruption...

Miao Shuisheng carefully watched the videos in the folder, as if he wanted to find some answers, or maybe he wanted to make himself more impressed with the scenes in the notes.

As Miao Shuisheng said in the chat room, all videos consist of three scenes:

One is the tree-lined trails at Byron Weiss Zoo.

The second is a deep cave under a certain glacier.

The third is Sunset Boulevard in Area A of Mechanical Hive on Days Island.

The Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard are the most frequent scenes, while the scenes under the glacier only appear when he is under great mental stress.

Chen Yan didn't know what this meant, but only knew that everything that happened must have something to do with "spirit".

Miao Shuisheng spent the whole day watching the video, and then took out the phone to explain some gang affairs. Only then did Chen Yan know that although Miao Shuisheng didn't show up, he was still secretly responsible for some affairs of Taisheng and Zhong.

In addition to Taishenghe's affairs, Miao Shuisheng also mentioned the airport on the phone. Taishenghe opened a company inside the airport, which is an ocean shipping company for cross-regional trade. I don't know what it does.

After all this was done, it was completely dark.

Miao Shuisheng stood up, put on his clothes and went out.

Chen Yan followed closely behind.

He followed Miao Shuisheng through some streets in Yanan City, and soon came to Taishenghe Branch Church on Walker Street.

He went in and saw Xanthium in the reception room of Xanthium.

After entering the door, he knelt on the ground and whispered:

"Father."

What is the difference between Xanthium and what Chen Yan has seen before, it is still a fairy.

He looked at Miao Shuisheng's haggard look, without any expression of "pity" on his face, but handed Miao Shuisheng a freshly prepared soup.

Miao Shuisheng didn't hesitate, and drank the soup in one go.

Xanthium was very satisfied with his actions, and asked gently:

"How do you feel about your body recently? Are you still having nightmares?"

Miao Shuisheng kept his head down all the time, with a humble and filial look:

"As long as you're not too tired during the day, you'll have less nightmares at night."

A slight displeasure appeared on Xanthium's face, but his tone did not change:

"It's fine to let things take their course. You are at the critical moment of your second ascension of flesh and blood. Excessive mental consumption is normal. Adhere to taking medicine every day to supplement the elements needed for neuron development and mutation. When the ascension is completed, nightmares will naturally occur. It's gone."

Um?WTF?The second flesh and blood ascension?
Chen Yan remembered that he had clearly heard Xanthium say that the third uncle's Ascension of Flesh and Flesh was perfect, because the impurities were removed, and the rest was perfect.

Since it is already perfect, how can there be a possibility of continuing to "fly up"?
In Chen Yan's understanding, the word "flying ascension" means great changes. For example, the "productivity soaring" he defined in Yanan City must reach the level of "changing the social status quo" in a short period of time. A huge increase can be called "flying ascension".

In the previous "Flesh Ascension", the third uncle changed from an ordinary deformed species infected with demihuman blood to a perfect demihuman life form without impurities. Such a change can be called "Ascension".

But this time, how much change will Miao Shuisheng have to undergo to be called "the second ascension of flesh and blood"?

Chen Yan was puzzled and could only continue watching this memory.

Facing Xanthium's "teaching", Miao Shuisheng lowered his head, and his tone was only obedient:

"My son understands."

He then reported to Xanthium about the progress of the gang and the company today. Before leaving, he drank another bowl of soup and said goodbye to Xanthium.

Chen Yan followed him back to the residence, watched him come to the bathroom, and vomited violently into the toilet.

Miao Shuisheng's stomach seemed to be different from normal people's, with a huge reserve, and the vomiting was not over until it almost filled the toilet.

Miao Shuisheng wiped his mouth, looked at the toilet full of soup, and pressed the flush button expressionlessly.

When I saw this, the synaesthesia suddenly ended.

After a while of dizziness, Chen Yan returned to the sunny hive by the pond in Lianhua Avenue, District W-7, Mechanical Hive, Days Island.

He looked at Miao Shuisheng on the opposite side of the wooden table, feeling a little confused for a moment, and blurted out a sentence he hadn't thought of yet:

"Is the cocklebur making you sick?"

Miao Shuisheng replied calmly and objectively:
"I don't have any evidence to prove that my nightmare is because of him."

Chen Yan asked:

"Then why did you refuse to drink his soup? He is a doctor and your... father, he will never harm you without any reason."

Miao Shuisheng replied simply:
"I don't feel right."

The mere "feeling" of being wrong denies the possibility of being healed.

Is this sensible?

Within a sentence, Miao Shuisheng pressed his palm on the table again:

"My next experience will tell you the answer."

Chen Yan suddenly realized that the reason why Miao Shuisheng dared to let go of his mental defenses and let him perceive it with synaesthesia was because Miao Shuisheng could control the "open" part of memory within a certain range.

Is this okay... It takes a lot of micromanagement, and ordinary extraordinary people can't do this at all...

Chen Yan realized that Flesh Ascenders were different from ordinary Transcendents.

He didn't know what Miao Shuisheng was going to tell him, he just felt that he was getting more and more in touch with the core secrets of the third uncle, and he felt trembling and extremely looking forward to being exposed to these secrets.

The moment the synaesthesia was activated, the scene in front of him suddenly changed:
There was heavy snow falling outside the window, the room was dark, and the brightness of the computer screen was obviously not enough. Even if it was the only light source in the room, it could not provide normal visible light.

Dirty blood was all over the computer screen. The blood was viscous and seemed to be alive.

A lump of viscous blood twitched, as if something was pushing it up inside.

Suddenly a shoeless foot stepped on it, and blood splattered everywhere.

Miao Shuisheng's whole body has been dyed thick black with blood, and many joints of his body are obviously abnormal. He seems to have just experienced a nightmare.

And when he sat in front of the computer screen again, the deformity of the joints on his body had returned to normal.

On the computer screen is still an encrypted chat window.

Miao Shuisheng's expression was lifted by the other party's message.

"We analyzed your brain waves and came to some conclusions.

[From a macro perspective]:
Some new changes have taken place in your physical body. These changes are not reflected in muscle tissue and ordinary organ tissues, but in neurons—your neurons have undergone intense "growth" in the past period of time, Its volume has increased a lot compared to the original, tens of thousands of times larger than normal people, and even compared with the superhuman whose brain is the organ of inspiration, it is at least a thousand times larger.

Normal human neurons are usually less than 100 microns in diameter, while your neurons are 1 centimeter in diameter.

This means that your brain and spinal cord have been filled with suddenly enlarged neurons.

It's like the casings are stuffed with meat and turned into salami.

Your mental strength is greatly increased due to the strengthening of neuron cells, which is one of the reasons you have frequent dreams.
