Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 82 The "Alive" Brain
He came to the glassware, took out a slender glass rod from the right pocket of his robe, and tapped the glassware lightly.

"Dangdang..."

Amidst the crisp knocking sound, the brain inside the glass vessel trembled slightly.

Is that brain... still alive...

Chen Yan panicked in his heart, because he clearly saw just now that Xanthium pierced the man's skull with a short-handled sickle!

Under such an injury, the brain was not destroyed?
Two possibilities emerged in Chen Yan's mind:

The first possibility, the brain in the glass vessel did not come from the superhuman who died just now.

The second possibility is that the brain did come from a superhuman who just died, but there was something wrong with the short-handled sickle just now——

It is very possible that the scythe hit that person's head in the spirit vision just now was not a "physical level" blow.

The hit of the sickle did not carry any physical attack, but only extraordinary power.

Therefore, although a person dies, the structure of the brain is not destroyed, but is preserved intact.

The next words of Xanthium corroborated Chen Yan's conjecture.

"The body of this person has died, but the brain has been preserved intact. This is a rare specimen."

Cocklebur was clearly interested.

"Be patient, I want to show you something."

He tapped the glassware lightly again with the glass rod.

This time, his percussion sound had a frequency, like the rhythm of some kind of rhythm.

Soon, something miraculous happened:
With the rhythm of the tapping, some extremely thin tentacles extend out of the brain.

Those things looked like the stems of some kind of fluorescent plant.

The "stems" of different sizes, large and small, with different lengths and thicknesses, sway from side to side with the rhythm of the cocklebur beating, as if they have a strong vitality.

"You see, the brain has already been 'dead' in the biological sense after leaving the human body, but it still maintains a certain degree of activity in my specially prepared solution."

Cocklebur's tone was full of pride.

"In a sense, this brain is still alive!"

He suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Yan with a light in his eyes.

"What do you think?"

What do I think?
Chen Yan held back his panic expression.

I think you're a fucking lunatic!

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, organized his words, and said, "Only in the medical sense, such an invention is priceless."

There was a hint of fanaticism on the face of Xanthium annuum, and the eyes that looked at Chen Yan became more kind.

"Do you think so too?"

Chen Yan found that cocklebur seemed to be looking forward to being recognized.

Chen Yan summed up the language cautiously, and replied:

"Yes, I thought so.

With such a solution, we might be able to preserve some valuable brains.

And through some means, use the knowledge in the brain. "

Xanthium's eyes lit up when he heard it, and when Chen Yan finished speaking, he couldn't help coming to Chen Yan in two quick steps, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly:

"Yes! Yes! In fact, I've already implemented some of this functionality!"

He let go of Chen Yan's hand, and tapped a more complex rhythm on the glass vessel with a glass rod.

As he tapped, there was a regular tremor in the brain.

Faintly, Chen Yan even saw a light blue electric arc flashing away in the folds of the cerebral cortex.

Is that...brain waves...

How can something like brain waves be seen?

Is it my hallucination?

While Chen Yan was thinking, he only heard Xanthium excitedly ask:

"Did you hear it?!"

Chen Yan was stunned.

hear what?
He froze for a moment, and immediately thought that when the cocklebur was struck just now, the brain probably made some sounds!
This!
It's just a brain, not even a vocal organ, where does the sound come from?
From some otherworldly organ in the brain? !
Seeing that Chen Yan was stunned, Xanth asked anxiously again:

"Did you hear it?!"

I can't hear it...

Chen Yan realized that he could not hear the voice that Cocklebur could hear, which meant that the voice must carry some kind of extraordinary power.

If he could take out his mobile phone now, he would definitely be able to hear the voice of that brain through the microphone of the mobile phone.

"I really can't hear it."

Chen Yan had no intention of taking out her mobile phone at all.

Taking out the mobile phone in front of Xanthium is no different from committing suicide.

"Oh, yes, I forgot, you are a mortal..."

A look of disappointment flashed across the cocklebur's face.

"what a pity."

Xanthium took two steps back, sat on the chair in front of the bookcase, gently rubbed her temples with her hands, a look of annoyance appeared on her face.

He muttered to himself, with obvious disappointment in his self-deprecating tone.

"I originally thought that the person who can understand my research should be an outstanding transcendent..."

Chen Yan pretended not to know, and asked in a very puzzled tone: "Master, what is a transcendent?"

Xanthium's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Chen Yan with complicated eyes.

"Don't ask any more, or I'll feed you the water soaked in the waist of the sheep."

The outer waist of the sheep is a euphemism for a certain position of the lower body of the sheep in the Asian community.

Chen Yan remembered that Claude Moon once seemed to say:

If a mortal is discovered by a mortal, they will usually be made to drink a drug made from the lower body of a ram called [Lost Soul Water], which can make the mortal forget their memories for half a day.

It was only then that Chen Yan realized that his inquiry just now had almost caused Xanthium to violate the [promise not to fight].

Chen Yan's eyes remained unchanged, but he thought in his heart that he might be able to make good use of his status as a 'mortal' and use the [No War Agreement] as his authority against these extraordinary people.

Xanth stared into Chen Yan's eyes, but found nothing abnormal.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Boy, do you have any plans for the future?"

Ask me what's my plan?
What does this old bastard want to do?
Of course, Chen Yan would not tell him her plan to study at Byrgenworth College.

"I don't have any plans for the time being. I just want to attract more tenants, earn more money, and be able to eat beef and drink milk every day."

Xanthi frowned all of a sudden, and said in an almost reprimanding tone:

"No ambition!"

He continued in the tone common to Asian elders:
"You are still young, and you still have a long way to go, how can you waste time on making money?
You are an ordinary person... I mean, you are an ordinary person, but you can see my research results at a glance, which shows that you have a certain talent. "

When cocklebur was talking, he stared at Chen Yan's eyes the whole time, which caused Chen Yan to be under a lot of pressure.

"Well, boy, you are lucky today. I will write you a letter of recommendation and recommend you to study at Miskatonic University. What do you think?"

Xanthium looked at Chen Yan with a dazed face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hold my letter of recommendation, but the tuition fee of 18 pounds can be exempted! How about it? Think about it?"

When he finished speaking, Chen Yan only felt his mouth dry, and only the number remained in his head.

"Eighteen pounds?!"
