Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 918 Pause
The fiery red embers that continued to radiate in mid-air scattered countless data floating points, and those data floating points were rearranged and combined at the position where Chen Yan burned, forming two tassel-like data streams.

The two streams of data quickly spiraled under Lindsay's gaze, and they underwent a complete and thorough reconstruction.

When the reconstruction was completed, a familiar figure appeared in Lindsay's eyes.

That figure has already become Lindsay's lingering nightmare all his life, and it has become his obsession in struggling to survive.

That figure made him fall into an inextricable confusion, and he personally revealed the truth of the future in front of him.

That figure had caused him to experience death, and then contributed to his rebirth, becoming his biological mother.

That is the figure of 【White Snake】!

A huge mental shock hit Lindsay, and the mental imbalance caused by over-excitement almost crushed him and finally condensed into a real physical body. He was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a data foreign object completely unknown to human beings, and even out of the category of monsters.

He restrained himself.

He restrained the shock in his heart, restrained from continuing to explore, restrained from hacking into the body of this guy in front of him, and analyzing his string of character codes.

—it took him a split second to ascertain these things.

He opened and closed his eyes, and his mentality has returned to normal.

'Anyway, I found a clue to the White Snake. '

He could never have imagined that things would go so smoothly.

He knew that little Wolf Ribot was related to the White Snake, but he didn't expect that he would gain something immediately just by following the clues to come here!

The only question is the identity of the person in front of him - who is this person?Why does it have almost the same life characteristics as the white snake?

Did the aura of the white snake on little Wolf Ribot come from this person?
But Wolfe Raibert Jr. made it clear that the person he recommended was Chen Yan, whose alias was Jack Baldo. He was an Asian youth with flesh and blood, black hair and yellow skin.

Instead of the one in front of him... except for the chip, he is almost a half-crippled brain robot.

'Who the hell is he?Why the name Jack Baldo?And why is it related to the White Snake? '

Even if Lindsay used all the data he knew as exhaustive, he couldn't imagine the absurd fact that "Chen Yan's body was occupied by data backup".

The moment he came into contact with Chen Yan just now, Lindsay felt that Chen Yan was unusual, so he stepped forward to shake hands with him.

As long as there is a handshake, data interaction can occur. The ability of [Data Interaction] mastered by Lindsay is not as simple as the literal meaning, but one of the underlying operating rules of the world - higher authority than [Synaesthesia], and better than [Synaesthesia] ] is more arrogant and unreasonable, and the information that can be obtained is clearer than that of [Synesthesia].

As long as there is contact with Chen Yan, one can know everything about Chen Yan [on the surface] and what is hidden [inside]—the latter is the ultimate basis for his judgment.

But he was stopped, and even the "data flow tentacles" extended as a test were blocked by the Asian with a fierce face.

He wasn't afraid of the guy's omnic arm - he even had the ability to paralyze it for a split second.

What stopped him was the other aura on that guy.

It was the breath of death.

How to make a data life born in a deeper world and composed of data floating points feel death?
That's the power of [REDACTED].

It is another underlying operating rule of the world.

So Lindsay stopped.

He still has important things to do.

He cannot be [REDACTED] yet.

Hope, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Lindsay.

The undisguised confusion in his eyes made Chen Yan understand one thing:

She couldn't see Lindsay's brainwaves.

Lindsay Robert Darwin, what the hell is this guy?
Hope turned his head to look at Chen Yan again.

The 6nm chip immediately analyzed an inevitable event from her eyes - she was thinking at this moment: 'I don't know what that guy is now. '

From this, Chen Yan understood that she could understand some, but not fully.

She was a little nervous, and stroked the computer bag on her back again. It seemed that the computer bag could bring her a sense of security.

……

The strange combination of three people and one iron lump just took the big elevator all the way to the Z area of ​​the mechanical hive.

What was different from before was that the guards guarding the elevator exit were gone, and at a glance, the dead Z area was empty.

Chen Yan left the large elevator and entered a short mechanical plank road. He was about to take a step forward and step into the area covered by the Ring of Command in Zone Z, but was immediately stopped by Ogami's right hand holding a knife.

"It's covered in a very strange electromagnetic field."

Driven by the particle motor, the omnic prosthetic hand trembled so slightly that only nerves could feel it.

"Although the electromagnetic field is not strong, the distribution form is very strange, and the movement form conforms to some unknown function, which will have an uncertain impact on the human spirit."

When Ogami said these words, even he felt very strange. The information fed back to him by the mimic neural network was not very clear, but it was not too vague. It was basically able to [know and judge], but [unable to The degree of data quantification].

"That is to say, after entering the magnetic field, your senses will be affected, resulting in false cognition."

After Ogami finished speaking, Hope who was beside Chen Yan panicked.

Even though Chen Yan doesn't have synaesthesia now, she can still recognize the "panicked" and "concerned" emotions on her face.

Lindsay came to the side where Chen Yan was standing, turned his head and looked around, then squatted on the ground, stretched his hands, and pressed them on the ground:
"There is something interfering here, let me see..."

He didn't shy away from using his abilities.

In one of the functional eyes on Chen Yan's body, part of Lindsay's hands was "deconstructed", and the data flow "deconstructed" from his hands formed a small vortex on the ground, and other objects gradually emerged in the vortex. scene:

This seems to be an operating machine room that is not huge but has ample vertical space.

Brightly colored barnacles covered the mechanical walls and circular floor around the machine room.

In the center of the machine room, a dead monster was crouching in a pool surrounded by machines.

The monster's body is covered with various electronic components and industrial waste, like a mechanical meat mountain. The thick cables spreading from the cracks in its body made of electronic waste have been cut off by unknown means, and the other end of these cables is hidden. In the mechanical wall - this monster, it looks like it was originally bound here by these cables.

"Crazy! The released [hyperlink body]!"

Lindsay exclaimed.

Not everyone can see what appears before his eyes.

In one of Chen Yan's eyes—the eye that originally came from a general-purpose crane that could analyze and visualize data, he basically saw Lindsay's operations and what appeared in the "window" opened by Lindsay. Mechanical Roshan monster.

The [short-distance data collection and distribution center] in the hands of the omnic prosthetics completely included Lindsay's unencrypted operations, and fed back to the optic nerve connected to Ogami's right brain through the mimic neural network, through which the optic nerve can perform normal operations in the normal nervous system. The neural signal response, until in a very brief time in his right brain "imaging".

Only Hope was at a loss.

She can't see anything!
Although she can't see anything with her eyes, she can know what's happening in front of her through other means—although she can't see it, she can probably "feel" that Lindsay should have opened a door on the ground leading to something. The "window" of the place, the thing in this "window" should not be a person, but some other creature, and this creature is dead, because the emotions that everyone shows are the emotions of facing dead things.

Emotions can't lie.

Her untrained ability is not considered strong, so she can only vaguely understand this point, but cannot fully understand it.

"What is [hyperlink body]?" Chen Yan never considered the difficulty of the question when he asked.

"You can understand it as a channel that ignores spatial distance, and can place coordinates in many levels of the world at the same time." Lindsay made a high-level summary, and he is obviously good at such things.

Lindsay continued: "Have you seen the mechanical part on the surface of this thing? These things are essentially [catalysts] to strengthen certain aspects of its capabilities."

Lindsay stretched out his hand and "twisted" a stream of data out of the "window". When he touched it with his finger, the stream of data spread out in front of him, and thousands of lines of assembly language were completely displayed in front of Chen Yan, almost covering the It covers a huge part of the entire field of vision, like densely packed flying ants covering the sky and sun.

Lindsay stood up, stretched out his hand and flicked these compilation sentences, and the entire mid-air in front of Chen Yan was like a storm.

He quickly found certain keywords:
"You see, this should be some kind of shielding mechanism... These programs essentially constitute some kind of anti-virus software."

Chen Yan could understand it this time - with the blessing of the 6nm chip in his brain, he easily understood the meaning of these assembly language strings.

"This anti-virus software is to... ensure that the extraordinary power in the mechanical hive is controlled to a certain extent by suppressing the spiritual vision."

Chen Yan understood it, and this led to more questions:
"Although I know that there is something in the mechanical hive that suppresses extraordinary power, I didn't expect it to be this thing... It was killed, which means that the extraordinary power can be fully deployed in the mechanical hive."

Lindsay shook her finger:
"Wrong, the so-called [extraordinary power] is essentially the use of a deeper level of authority in the world, and this mechanical meat mountain can only impose [delay] on the use of authority, but it cannot suppress the application of authority itself."

Chen Yan did not deny Lindsay's judgment based on his traditional cognition in the past. He knew that Lindsay was using another set of knowledge system to explain the working principle of extraordinary power.

Different knowledge systems only mean different perspectives for observing the world, and "different" cannot be equated or even more equated with "wrong" under any circumstances.

Chen Yan immediately understood what he meant:
"You mean, this guy's suppression is just to delay the exertion of extraordinary power—like a network delay?"

Lindsay showed a happy expression of "children can teach":
"Yes, it's just giving your so-called extraordinary power--imposing a [delay] on the use of authority, not suppression."

"In this way, when the extraordinary power in your cognition - when the deeper authority of the world is invoked by some [visitors], [delay] will take effect, making the process of invoking the authority very long, so long as to awaken the extent to which the user has to relinquish access rights.”

[Visitor] - this is the title of [Extraordinary] in Lindsay's system.

'It's different from the [Awakened] I learned before... Having said that, in terms of the literal meaning, there is a big difference between [Awakened] and [Supernatural], although they all describe the same kind of people, but the theory used to explain it is obviously not a system. '

When Chen Yan was thinking, Lindsay was still explaining:

"When the right time passes and the [Visitors] do not need to use the authority, the [Delay] ends, and the [Visitor] can use the power of the authority, but it is no longer necessary."

Hope on the side didn't say a word. She could only understand half of the remarks about computer technology. In order to avoid embarrassment caused by ignorance, she chose to shut up.

The happy expression on Lindsay's face disappeared naturally, and he looked more like a normal person than a normal person:

"Its death is not completely dead, it's just that there is no data in this world, and its data has many backups, and it doesn't just exist in this world-so you don't need to feel uncomfortable in your heart."

Chen Yan and Ogami didn't feel anything, but Hope let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Yan couldn't hold back, and gave her a strange look.

Why does this woman look like a child... Only children can have such indiscriminate sympathy?

The latter blushed all of a sudden, and immediately pursed his mouth, using the disguised "arrogance" and "disdain" to cover up his embarrassment and embarrassment.

Chen Yan only thought it was fun, so she unscrupulously looked at her with "Why are you so childish".

She obviously felt his "joke-filled" eyes, and thus had a rich emotion of "I hate you".

Her face continued to heat up, and the complete bewilderment turned into panic and helplessness in a short time, until she couldn't bear it anymore under Chen Yan's gaze, and almost cried out.

A certain eye on Chen Yan's body dedicated to micro-motion capture immediately caught her micro-expression of "about to be forced to cry", so he was a little flustered immediately. Although he didn't know why she was like a child, he was forced to cry. After all, it is not an honor to cry for a woman, so he looked away.

Without Chen Yan's gaze, Hope's pressure was greatly relieved. Taking this opportunity to take a deep breath, she gave him a vicious look, and changed the subject while hiding her still flustered heart - she held her computer bag with one hand, and the other One hand pointed to the end of the mechanical plank road connecting the Z area, not far in front of her:

"There's a guy behind the door telling us not to go there!"

Lindsay nodded:

"That guy has been standing there since just now."

The atmosphere was suffocated for a moment.
