Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 940 The prologue of the new era will be written by the general public
Horace stared at him for two seconds before turning away.

At the same time, Chen Yan felt very complex emotions in the air, such as "loss", "sulphur", "confusion", "perseverance", "pity", and "strong doubt" - Horace did not hide these emotions like before, but released them completely.

These emotions were quickly magnified, and then filled the entire corridor space.

Chen Yan didn't know the reason why Horace had such complicated emotions towards him, and he only had some absurd and unprovable speculations in his mind.

After Horace completely disappeared at the end of the corridor, Chen Yan was silent for a moment, and said to Swarm:
"follow me."

He turned around and walked towards the first floor of the circular building of the Z Group, and at the same time a series of thoughts appeared in his head:
’Combining Horace’s words with those of Andil O’Rigennossen before, there is no conflict between the meanings of the two. '

'Andil is sure that I will have an inevitable path dependence on the [Turing Chip], perhaps because he has seen it before, so he knows what the [Turing Chip] is.

He didn't explain to me what the [Turing Chip] is... If he explained it to me, I might be able to make a more correct choice. '

Horace's attitude is even more arrogant... The detached status of the William Adams Group has given their agents enough qualifications to be arrogant. To me, they are the party A who controls all the initiative, which is why he can be so arrogant. '

'As for the contract ... the contract is unchangeable, as it is to me, as it is to Horace.

So Horace, the brat, was just bluffing and venting.

Young and energetic... But thinking about it the other way around, if you are not in a strong mood, how can you still look young. '

Chen Yan suddenly discovered that after returning to his body, he was able to look at problems from a third-person perspective—he was able to put aside subjective emotions without completely eliminating them, and look at problems more objectively under the control of appropriate subjective emotions.

Is this because my previous journeys have exercised my will?

When Chen Yan thought of this, he realized that ever since he entered the stone gate left behind in the deep sea era in the mechanical hive Y area, he has been in contact with various things in the form of consciousness, directly seeing and contacting various unknown knowledge, and his will may have been tempered enough.

Or maybe...

It's just because I have experienced too much, so I am not childish anymore, and I have become a little more mature.

The price of this maturity is a bit high...

When concentrating his attention, Chen Yan's perspective turned around.

'I have a lot of things to deal with besides the contract. '

All the things from the period when the counterfeit had the right to use the body came to mind again, and Chen Yan's feeling was really not good.

'Damn it, fakes have gotten me into trouble a lot these days...'

After the counterfeit was downloaded into Chen Yan's body, there was a lot to do. After returning to his body, Chen Yan not only got the memory of the period when the counterfeit controlled his body, but also had to take over the "mess" left by the counterfeit.

'Well...it's not all mess...'

Counterfeit goods have caused a lot of bad effects, but they have also created great results.

'It's just that... most of what he's done has left unmanageable situations that can get worse if you're not careful...'

If the bad influence caused by counterfeit products can be eliminated as much as possible, the results he created will be more beautiful, and it will truly become Chen Yan's own results.

The main "inheritances" left by counterfeit goods appeared one by one in Chen Yan's mind, and he realized that he had to deal with these "inheritances" before everything deteriorated.

As for the unclear relationship left after the evil god took over his body, he really didn't think about how to deal with it now.

Thinking of the fact that he was about to face dozens of children in a physical sense, Chen Yan felt dizzy, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and only cursed in his heart that the evil god was really a fucking animal.

Chen Yan came to the lobby on the first floor, called the "professional agent" hired by the counterfeit, and told the other party to sign a formal contract with the employees of various companies under the Z Group. After finalizing the five insurances, one housing fund and other benefits, Chen Yan read the draft contract and felt that it was probably reliable, so he left the group headquarters in peace.

The Z Group made a fortune too quickly, and it became rich almost overnight due to the combined effects of various factors, while the counterfeit was busy doing things all day long, and was almost indifferent to things like employee benefits. Now that Chen Yan is back, these things are on the agenda.

After repeatedly explaining to the professional agent, Chen Yan brought Swarm to Area C-17.

There are many interesting things in the memory left by the counterfeit, and the most interesting thing is the attitude of the counterfeit towards the gangs on the island chain after losing control——

With a clear understanding of the concept of "rogue proletarians" and a clear aversion to the gang's behavior, the counterfeit still chooses to cooperate with the gang, which shows that his purpose from the beginning was to kill the donkey.
In addition to Li Shoucheng, the counterfeit also contacted several other gang leaders in order to do business on their territory.

In the case of the merger of the mechanical hive system and the empire, although the influence of gangs on the mechanical hive itself is not as great as before, they still have their special ecological niche. They can still play a certain role in some things. For some things that are difficult for the government to come forward, their means are better.

——Based on such considerations, the counterfeit not only contacted some big bosses of other gangs, but also signed some cooperation agreements with them on the business of omnic prosthetics using the name "Jack Baldo".

The gangsters get the cash that counts as everything, and the impostors get more business, it looks like a win-win.

As the Tie Gang, which specialized in second-hand e-waste in the past, its site has been more thoroughly transformed. Third-party services based on omnic prosthetics have been rapidly expanded and rapidly improved in the C-17 area where the Tie Gang is located. and ultra-modern ergonomics.

These industries were quickly subdivided by the market at the same time that the omnipotent prosthetics began to become popular, and enjoyed the first wave of dividends from the comprehensive popularization of the omnipotent prosthetic technology.

At the same time as these industries were formed, a new aesthetic based on omni-tech was born among the public——

The dazzling lights of various colors are tuned out, and the ubiquitous light pollution is released to every corner of the street and people's faces;

The abstract billboards outlined by unprofessional art lines and plastic light tubes, most people can't understand what the shop represented by the billboard is doing. Only when you walk in will you know the function of the shop;
The omnic skin inlaid on the ordinary skin as a clock or mobile phone is very similar to the tattoo of the previous era. As one of the omnic transformations with the shallowest degree, the least impact on itself, and high aesthetic requirements, the omnic skin has been played with various tricks. The most important thing is that the average price is lower than other omnic transformations, so that even office workers with little spare money and street gangsters who have a meal have the opportunity to own omnic equipment.

People's admiration and love for omnic technology gave birth to emotions and thinking, and such novel emotions and thinking gave birth to an aesthetic different from everything in the past. This aesthetic has been rapidly popularized through the power of the general public, which has exceeded the speed at which most scientific and technological achievements in the world spread in human society.

——Chen Yan learned about these things through the perspective of a counterfeit.

'Technology has affected people's lives, and people have unique emotions because of this kind of life. Such emotions have given birth to such abstract aesthetics... This is people's own culture. '

When thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't wait to get rid of one of the hidden dangers of Z Group today - Li Shoucheng and the tie gang, as a social cancer, the tie gang completely played a negative role in the social process - they would only play a negative role in the spread of culture and the formation of people's aesthetics.

Chen Yan does not need to be responsible for the spread of culture and people's aesthetics.

He just doesn't like them.

From another point of view, since it was a counterfeit who invited him in, Chen Yan was obliged to clear him out.

Chen Yan brought Swarm to Area C-17, passed the mobile phone repair shop, and came to the gate of Li Shoucheng's courtyard. He handed Swarm the teacup containing the mushy octopus, told Swarm to follow him, and then stepped into the courtyard.

This place is no longer filled with the antique flavor of Tianshenzhou courtyard as before, but only a piece of bare steel plate remains.

There was a table in the middle of the steel floor, and Li Shoucheng was sitting on the table, with a cup of wine and two ceramic cups in front of him, and when he saw that Chen Yan was coming, he invited him to sit down.

His well-prepared appearance did not make Chen Yan feel unfathomable, because Chen Yan understood that he could put on such a bluffing posture only because he had an eyeliner in the headquarters of Z Group.

Chen Yan didn't shirk, just sat down and took the wine glass.

After the two drank for three rounds, Li Shoucheng asked with a drunken smile:

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison the wine?"

Chen Yan said:

"You haven't left the first island chain yet, how could you poison your wine?"

Li Shoucheng narrowed his eyes, took out a pack of William Adams Gold Label cigarettes from his arms, and handed one to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan signaled that he would not smoke, so Li Shoucheng lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Amidst the smog, Li Shoucheng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"When will you send me to the second island chain?"

Chen Yan asked back:
"Why do you think you can just get away with it?"

Li Shoucheng hummed in the tone of "I knew you were going to do this", then took out his phone and opened an app.

After the APP started running, Chen Yan heard slight tinnitus in his ears. From this, he judged that the APP should be some kind of signal shielding software. Because the signal produced was too strong, it interfered with the brain waves and caused tinnitus.

"Nowhere is safe now, and I don't know how many bugs are around me, so turn on the shield to prevent problems before they happen."

Li Shoucheng, a gang member from the bottom of society who climbed up by doing dirty things, can be nurtured by money and power to maintain a calm temperament.

"People in the arena involuntarily."

Li Shoucheng opened his squinted eyes and talked more than before:
"I had no choice but to do that little trick. I didn't want to do it at first, but the situation is stronger than others, and I can't help it."

Chen Yan had the experience of the counterfeit during this period of time. He used the "third-person perspective" to view this part of the memory, and obviously felt that the part about Li Shoucheng was very wrong——

From his point of view, although Li Shoucheng's vision is narrow, as a gang member who has worked hard at the bottom of the society for many years, Li Shoucheng should not engage in those indifferent little tricks when the counterfeit is the strongest - especially the stupid and absurd thing of "taking the partner into the warehouse for threat", which is really not something a battle-tested gang leader can do.

Therefore, Chen Yan thought that there must be something wrong with Li Shoucheng.

Li Shoucheng's behavior of turning on the mobile phone signal blocking software just now verified his conjecture.

Li Shoucheng watched Chen Yan remain silent, and he knew in his heart that Chen Yan must have noticed something.

His informant just told him that there were fighting and gunshots in Chen Yan's office, and he knew who Chen Yan should have had a conflict with. One of the biggest conflicts in Z Group at this stage is that Li Shoucheng, as a shareholder, has a disagreement with the chairman Chen Yan.

He didn't know what happened in Chen Yan's office. He only knew from the informant that Chen Yan aggressively negotiated with the agent about the formal contracts of the employees, and then left the company.

"We talked about the formal contracts of the employees." This is a very dangerous signal, which means that Group Z has finally started to get on the right track and is moving closer to the laws and regulations of the logistics center.

Then, such an "indelible stain" like him must be one of Chen Yan's goals.

He has never been so trembling and walking on thin ice as he is now, because he knows what he is doing, and he knows what he has done. When he was young, he was not afraid of anything, and he would never think about retribution.

Now, Chen Yan really came, which showed that his guess was correct—Chen Yan probably knew about his "rebellion", and now he was coming to liquidate him.

Li Shoucheng was not afraid of Chen Yan.

What Li Shoucheng was afraid of was the relationship behind Chen Yan.

One of them, Klein Justus, has heard that the relationship behind that high-ranking white man is even more complicated. Just looking at it from a more superficial perspective—being able to come to the island chain to take up an important position with almost no relevant work experience shows that at least one of his network of relationships can reach Tian Ting directly.
