Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 941 The Quiet Night Before the Rainstorm

The power of the sky is unfathomable, and Li Shoucheng's ideological stamp makes him have a deep-seated fear of those in high positions.

Judging from the recent policy trends of the island chain, it is clear that there is more than one person behind Chen Yan.

In addition to Klein Justus, there is likely to be the Governor-General who got online through Klein Justus, Fernando D. Magellan. This big man from the imperial capital has a very disgraceful history in the legend. Li Shoucheng heard that his current status comes from the dirtiest and most dangerous kind of nepotism.

Although Li Shoucheng spent most of his life in the island chain, due to the gang's contact with the sesame oil business, he had seen tricks from the nobles of the empire to some extent.

Li Shoucheng didn't despise it.

He is genuinely in awe.

A person like him without any background, means and resources can still sit in his current position without any means and no bottom line. Those big figures with strong backgrounds, means and resources inherited from the previous generation are also unscrupulous and have no bottom line, so they must be able to do much more than themselves.

For the strong, Li Shoucheng is in awe from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, he has always maintained a considerable degree of respect for Fernando D. Magellan, who came to power through nepotism, and the mentality that Chen Yan, who had a relationship with the governor, made him feel the same way.

In addition to Fernando D. Magellan, there is likely to be the toothless Bar Darkrod who is more fearsome than all the most vicious gangsters. He knows that the toothless tiger has been watching him secretly. He knows that the old guy must be very sorry that he did not die at the celebration party that led to the destruction of the gunpowder store a month ago. He even sometimes has auditory hallucinations, and occasionally hears Bar Darkrod whispering in his ear:
'Go to hell, Li Shoucheng, you will pay the price for the evil things you have done one day, I will watch you, I will wait for you in the dark, there will always be a bullet in my pistol for you... I will wait for you. '

When thinking of this, Li Shoucheng suddenly found that his hands were shaking - he was shaking because of the fear that could not be dispelled in his subconscious.

But he is not a coward like a mouse. His past experience has made him fierce today. These exercises have defended his spirit from countless life-and-death fierceness and helped him get rid of fear.

Li Shoucheng settled down, and said to Chen Yan in front of him:

"I've never had any second thoughts about you. You are my only chance to clean up. This matter has never changed."

Chen Yan didn't respond, but just listened quietly.

Li Shoucheng's words began to speed up:
"But someone doesn't want you well. I don't know the name of that person. One day he suddenly called me with all my past and asked me to cooperate with him... Once I refuse, the person will be gone!"

Li Shoucheng is actually showing weakness to me... He actually gave in to me?
Chen Yan felt a little unbelievable, but when he thought about it carefully, the two attributes of "sizing up the situation" and "flexibility of the bottom line" were really possessed by Li Shoucheng—he could do things like surrender to a stronger one.

Synaesthesia is also proving Chen Yan's conjecture.

Chen Yan still didn't speak.

In fact, he had already tried to arrange Li Shoucheng's ending - he was hacked by Ogami, or was torn in half by Swarm, or was shot in the head by him, and died in the gutter.

This was not what Chen Yan wanted.

After learning about Li Shoucheng—and the past of all the gang members in the Bangka era—from various channels, Chen Yan believes that simple death is completely redemption and liberation for them, and it can't play any role of punishment at all.

Based on this understanding, Chen Yan felt extremely incredible about the counterfeit's decision to recruit Li Shoucheng into the gang—Chen Yan believed that no matter how crazy he was, no matter how out of his mind, he would not put things like Li Shoucheng in front of him as an eyesore!
Gang, the name itself is linked to the things represented by a series of the most disgusting words, such as ugly. Even a person like Chen Yan who has no mental obsession with cleanliness knows what a gang is.

From this point of view, the counterfeit is really insane and hopeless.

The time for Chen Yan to have a few thoughts quickly passed, and Li Shoucheng also told the truth:
"I don't know the name of that person, and I haven't even met him until now. I only know that the person should be a high-ranking official in the logistics center of the first island chain. He doesn't have much power, but he has a lot of energy and can influence many policies."

"At many critical points, he asked me to do something against my original intentions—such as kidnapping our partners in the warehouse, such as refusing to repurchase shares in the future...he predicted that you would take my shares back sooner or later, and told me that no matter what method you use, no matter how high the recovery price you give, I will withstand the pressure and cannot sell the shares to you!"

Li Shoucheng wiped his face, and there was just the right amount of sadness on his face.

"When I come out to mess around, I have to pay it back sooner or later. I did too many wrong things back then, and now I'm being punished for it. If I could do it again, I would never step into Monka that afternoon..."

Chen Yan quietly watched his almost tearful performance, but still didn't speak.

The emotions that can be felt in synaesthesia can no longer be fake.

Until a trace of "impatient" emotion appeared in the synaesthesia, Li Shoucheng finally put away that pretentious look:

"I have no way out, so after this meeting is over, I will still be restrained by that person and act against my will...unless you can help me!"

Chen Yan leaned back on the chair and crossed his legs.

Chen Yan's synesthesia connected to the air sensed a hint of "tyranny"—the person across the table became impatient.

Although Li Shoucheng was already impatient, his tone was still sincere:

"I am willing to give you most of my property—money, I can even give you the shares of the company! As long as you help me leave the first island chain, I can go anywhere!
In return, I'll give you that person's contact information!

The water on Days Island is too deep, I can't afford it anymore, I don't want to play anymore! "

Even without synaesthesia, Chen Yan immediately felt something was wrong——

One of the most profitable businesses for gangs is smuggling. Snakeheads are unique things that are exclusive to gangs. How could Li Shoucheng be inseparable from the island chain?
These flawed words reminded Chen Yan of one thing——

"This guy... probably thinks I'm an impostor who was mercenary before..."

Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly thought of something.

So, he decided not to kill him today.

Chen Yan stood up, walked to the door, then turned to Li Shoucheng and said:
"At 8 o'clock tonight, come to my boat, and I will take you away from Days Island."

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned and left.

He didn't even use his synaesthesia to feel the air, even though the impostor had trained his body's synaesthesia stronger than before, to the point where he could easily capture emotions from the air.

He took Swarm away from the Tie Gang's stronghold, took the cup containing the dead octopus from Swarm, and asked:
"How many people have you killed in this week or so?"

Swarm scratched his head and replied:
"I can't remember...but it doesn't seem like much."

Chen Yan said:

"You can't kill any more people in the future."

Swarm:
"what?"

Chen Yan repeated again with an accentuated tone:
"You can't kill anyone in the future."

Swarm didn't think too much, just responded:

"Ok."

Chen Yan and Swarm walked together on the streets of District C-17, randomly chose a mobile phone store, and bought an ordinary old mobile phone and an unregistered calling card.

Mobile phones that use bioelectricity as driving energy are different from normal mobile phones. Chen Yan's previous mobile phones did not need to be charged, but now this second-hand functional phone must be equipped with a charger.

Chen Yan asked the clerk to disassemble the mobile phone on the spot, and saw that the PCB board was connected to the various components, and then disassembled the battery case to see the battery cells, and performed synesthesia on them. After confirming that there was no octopus in the mobile phone, Chen Yan was relieved.

Relying on his memory, he recovered some numbers in the address book, and then called Klein.

Klein seemed very busy, Chen Yan called three times before getting through:
"Klein, help me make an appointment with William Master tonight."

After hearing this, Klein immediately knew that Chen Yan had won the war against [Backup], so he responded:

"Congratulations, no problem, let's make an appointment until 10 o'clock tonight, that's their rest time."

Chen Yan replied:

"Ok."

Klein said again:
"In addition, I saw your signature on the contract that William Adams returned to the logistics center, which means that your [Z] Group has reached a 30-year partnership with them, and you will get a whole programmer team for the [Turing Chip] within a week. I hope you can quickly occupy the [Turing Chip] electronic equipment market in the mechanical hive.

I will help you to complete this matter. I have already negotiated with the Governor, and the Ministry of Commerce and the Purchasing Department have also greeted. Within three days, the logistics center will issue a decree to force the replacement of electronic device chips.

I have already approved a subsidy fund for you. What you need to do is to use this fund to recruit enough programmers, salesmen, and machine installers, and let them popularize the [Turing Chip] throughout the first island chain in a short period of time. "

Chen Yan replied:
"understood."

Klein repeatedly urged:
"Also, when I went to find the governor today, he suddenly mentioned to me about introducing you to a marriage—he had discussed with your [backup] before to obtain more social power resources through political marriage.

If you are going to make a choice like this -

From the overall point of view, I suggest that you must be cautious when choosing a partner. The most dangerous thing in the world is to choose a side in a power struggle, especially at this sensitive time point... I suggest that you wait until the completion of the [Contra-Moon Orbital Matrix] and the completion of the [WWW] based on the entire world, before you plan to marry a wife, because after that time, the situation in the superstructure will be much clearer than it is now.

From my personal point of view, I suggest that you better keep your eyes open, and I would like to remind you that most of the noble ladies in the empire are promiscuous, and women from ordinary backgrounds are much better than them as wives. Personally, I really do not recommend that you marry a profligate noble lady for the sake of social rights and resources. "

Perhaps because he was about to end his life, Klein's voice was not as cold and emotionless as it was when he just became the [Executor]. The "from the heart" in his tone was clearly heard by Chen Yan even through the Internet phone.

"I'll think about it carefully."

Chen Yan responded with a serious tone, and then said:

"I destroyed my phone and found what looked like an octopus in it."

After a second of silence—

"What?! How is that possible?! The North Bureau has also disassembled the mobile phone with the bioelectric synchronization function, but there is nothing in the mobile phone they dismantled!"

Klein seemed to have caught some important clue, and his voice raised a few degrees:

"This is a very important and precious experimental resource! It is possible to know the secret of the Mechanical Ascension Society! Be sure to keep that thing active! You...do you have equipment like a cryogenic box?!"

Chen Yan said in an embarrassed tone:

"I accidentally stepped on that thing to death..."

After a suffocating three seconds.

"Ah...ah..."

Klein didn't hide his disappointment at all.

"That's it... It's really bad, Mr. Chen, it's really bad, this is one of the worst news I've heard these days..."

Klein obviously has a strong psychological quality, and quickly recovered from such "bad news":

"It's not that the dead can't study it... Let's contact again at night... At 10 o'clock in the evening, when you come to see William Master, bring the body of that thing with you, and let's take a look together."

Chen Yan was dying of embarrassment, suddenly there was a step, and he just walked down the step:

"Ok!"

Klein replied:
"Okay! See you at the gate of Area Y at 10 o'clock in the evening!"

The communication with Klein has always been simple and fast, without a single word of nonsense.

Chen Yan hung up the phone and collected himself.

Judging from the tone at the end of this conversation, Klein could no longer control his emotions.

He... accumulated more out of control.

Chen Yan was very worried about Klein's current state, but he couldn't help him for the time being.

Although there are a lot of troubles at the moment, things are prioritized. Chen Yan is not going to deal with the mess left by the counterfeit immediately. He wants to find a way to save Klein first, because the latter is obviously more urgent than the former.

Use the bronze sword to ask Professor Lawyer in the imperial capital?

It is said that the thirteenth-level professor of Imperial National University, who is the pinnacle of the entire empire's professional title, is already the most powerful person among the people Chen Yan knows. The key point is that Professor Lawyer is also a top programmer. Even if he doesn't know how to save an executor, he can at least provide clues that can help.
