Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 965
These Okami corpses were placed in a mess on both sides of the steps, spreading from the position of the steps into the dark depths.

Each of these Okami's corpses is different from the others, either in their attire or the vicissitudes of their faces, but each of them can be seen to be indeed Okami.

The corpses were not decomposed, and they didn't even show any signs of corruption. They were lifelike, just like sleeping.

"They have already lived their lives."

Okami's tone was light.

He only said that they "lived their lives", but the emotions captured by synaesthesia told Chen Yan that he did not think they were "dead".

The synesthesia told Chen Yan that he didn't even think they were them—he thought they were himself, Sekiro who was exactly the same as him, with almost no difference—this was obviously wrong.

It's hard for Chen Yan to bring into Ogami's current state of mind and emotions—it's hard for Chen Yan to imagine, if he also comes to a place where his own corpse is everywhere, what thoughts will appear in his mind.

He had a harder time parsing the complex emotions captured by synaesthesia.

Ogami's light tone made Chen Yan feel very uncomfortable, because Ogami had never shown such a dangerous state.

But he was obviously almost out of control, and what he said was still normal:
"What is here is not their corpses, but the abstract concept of [they who have died]."

Such normality is more worrying than abnormal at this moment.

Chen Yan understood what he said, because this is a deeper world, and most of the [abstract things] that appear here have [concrete corresponding things] in this world.

[Demihuman King's Eye] didn't react, and the unbearable itching didn't appear, as if the scene in front of him was the established reality that had already happened.

"It's unbelievable, doesn't it?"

A morbid smile appeared on Okami's face:

"The more unbelievable is yet to come."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight forward.

Chen Yan hesitated at this moment, he thought that Ogami was too dangerous at this time, and it was no longer suitable to stay with him.

The unknown can be explored another day, and if the little life is gone, it will all be over.

Just when Chen Yan was about to stop Ogami, a voice suddenly dispelled all the haze in Chen Yan's heart:

'follow him!It doesn't matter!I am here! '

It is wish!
Did you say so earlier!

Chen Yan was not afraid all of a sudden, and even the itching caused by the agitation caused by seeing the unknown knowledge in the [Demihuman King's Eye] weakened a little.

The voice of wish came again:
'I've never been to this place... After seeing these things, I realized that some of my cognitions may be wrong...so make sure to keep up!I might be able to find the answer we're looking for! '

What is the answer we want?
Chen Yan didn't know, but his trust in wishes allowed him to keep pace with Ogami steadily.

As one goes deeper into the tomb, the surrounding space begins to grow larger—when the space under the tomb becomes huge, more and more Ogami—Ogami in different forms appear in Chen Yan’s field of vision. middle.

Unlike the Okami lying beside the steps, the Okami deeper in the tomb look abstracted and less like "real people"—although these Okami are also three-dimensional, the light and shadow on their bodies make them more abstract. They look like characters running out of a 3D game—their clothes have the texture of an oil painting, and all the lines on their bodies look like they have been put on a "frosted filter", the resolution is quickly reduced, and Not as real as the real thing looks.

"I may be wrong."

While walking forward, Okami said to himself:

"Maybe these my lives are not a well-woven program, maybe these I will have different life trajectories."

"But all this made me understand a certain fact-my starting point and my ending point are established. Everything I have worked hard for for generations has not stopped some things that I want to end. I and We are just trying in vain."

"Everything never stops, [Immortal] always exists, [Immortal] cannot be cut off, just like everything you and I have seen."

While Ogami was speaking, the voice of wish also rang in Chen Yan's ear:

'This place is really evil, you better take a look with that eye... I feel like a part of the truth is around! '

Chen Yan concentrated and focused on [The Eye of the Demi-Human King] as before.

The next moment, the line of sight that fell on the densely packed bodies of Ogami changed.

When the dense mist rises, dim light and shadows emerge from the depths of the mist, and pictures about Ogami appear in front of Chen Yan one by one. They are everything that Ogami has done in countless stories, or Ogami in the same story. Different choices of meters lead to different results.

Chen Yan saw the efforts made by each Ogami to eradicate immortality—every generation, every story, and every different choice, Ogami has made great efforts to completely eradicate immortality, which seems like this It is his destiny—as if [Cut Immortality] is completely his established life process.

But this kind of life process has never reached the end in countless countless generations.

The ending is fixed!

In countless generations, Ogami has never succeeded in severing immortality!
Perhaps he temporarily eliminated undeath in a certain generation, but a different form of undeath soon reappeared.

Even when things seem to be getting better with the temporary elimination of the undead, things can quickly go from bad to worse.

Repeatedly, endlessly, reincarnation overlaps, endlessly.

Chen Yan even saw every return, and every return of the undead was just a more rampant use of undead power, which also meant that returning the undead was useless at all!
No wonder Okami said what he just said!No wonder he thought all his efforts were in vain!Somehow he must have seen some of the scenes I'm seeing now!
"Yan Jun, have you seen..."

The darkness in the depths of the tomb is getting deeper and deeper, and there are more and more dead Okami corpses around Chen Yan, and the Okami in the 3D game has degenerated again—the 3D three-dimensional Okami has become a 2D flat Ogami Gami—a large number of "paper people" Ogami appeared on the ground, and every paper person Ogami can still see their whole life through the [Demihuman King's Eye]—a complete life !
It's like reading a manga.

Chen Yan was a little hesitant.

How the fuck could it be a comic? !Ogami is obviously a real person!

Chen Yan started to panic, he realized what Ogami said, and those things were becoming reality—a reality that was about to happen again in this generation.

There was the sound of Okami's hurried footsteps ahead, and Chen Yan's speed of catching up also increased, and the surrounding environment became darker, until the Okami on the ground changed from 2D color images to black and white patterns, until those black and white patterns became black and white patterns. Intricate lines, when the field of vision completely disappeared, these lines began to glow, and were broken and reorganized into countless 0s and 1s in front of Chen Yan...

Chen Yan suddenly couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream in front of him. His eyes began to blur and his limbs became numb.

He looked down, and saw that his body had been broken and reorganized into countless 0s and 1s at some point—0s and 1s formed his fragmented body, and this body was now heading towards the depths of darkness uncontrollably.

'Here... is already the furthest place you have ever been. '

The panic in Wish's voice was almost overflowing, and her rich emotions made her voice clearly audible - besides the panic, there were also stunned, terrified, nervous, worried... and irresistible firmness.

But Chen Yan couldn't hear anything anymore, he had already been dissociated into the initial state by the world - the closer he was to the BIOS, the closer he would be to the initial state of life.

All things are born from this, presenting the various forms of life, and returning to the original when they return.

Another monotonous data stream composed of 0s and 1s appeared, quickly approaching Chen Yan's data stream and intertwined with it, looking like the double helix structure of DNA.

'Chen Yan, say something. '

The monotonous data stream composed of 0 and 1 tries to send a signal to the data stream dissociated by Chen Yan—if the binary signal wants to generate a complete meaning, a large number of strings are needed to form a sentence.

She did it, even if it was extremely difficult for her.

'As long as you want. '

'Just one sentence, one word, one wish. '

'Chen Yan, tell me your wish. '

No echo.

The darkness is getting deeper and deeper, and everything returns to its original state, but the world where the BIOS is located is still far away. The creator did not set up a path between the BIOS and the system based on the BIOS, so the distance between the two is closer than the distance between two dimensions. Be far away.

The data flow of the double helix started the second dissociation, and the BIOS was refusing their advance as an instruction.

Until another voice came from the darkness.

'haven't seen you for a long time. '

It was a grown woman's voice.

Wish felt closeness and loathing to this voice, and couldn't help asking:

'You were always by his side. '

'Yes, I have been. '

'You were always by his side, why didn't you save him. '

'The only one who can save him is himself. '

'Since he can only save himself, why are you showing up now? '

'The next dawn has come, and I'm here to guide him. '

Wish doesn't know what a woman is. She has seen information about her in Chen Yan's memory, but she can only guess her identity, not completely sure.

So she left the data formed by Chen Yan's dissociation.

After she left, another data stream composed of 0 and 1 appeared, shuttled to Chen Yan's "side", and merged with Chen Yan's recomposed data stream.

The two data streams are intertwined to form a new double helix structure. The data block composed of 0 and 1 is like countless bases. Unlike before, these data block bases are actually paired.

When the base pairing occurred in the data block, Chen Yan opened his eyes in a small dark space.

In front of him stood a woman wearing a black nun's attire with silver religious patterns. The woman had a pretty face and held a flame in her hand.

Chen Yan was so familiar with this woman's face, but he couldn't call her name for a while.

'Um?white snake?Who is the white snake? 'This inexplicable thought flashed through Chen Yan's mind, and then disappeared.

what am i doing here
Oh oh, I am a knight, I have gone through countless disasters, I just defeated the big boss, and now I am preparing to put out the fire, so as to completely end this twisted and deformed generation!
——Everything is so natural, it seems to be a matter of course for Chen Yan.

The woman stared at his face and said in a singing voice:

"The original fire has gradually died away.

Presumably soon, darkness will descend.

But one day, there will be a small cluster of fire in the darkness.

It is the embers of fire passed down by everyone. "

She clasped her hands together, and the flames in her palms gradually extinguished.

Chen Yan looked at the gradually extinguished flames and felt the deepening darkness around him. An uncontrollable panic appeared in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. Where, he couldn't tell.

Until the flames were completely extinguished, the surroundings were plunged into deep and completely invisible darkness.

"Chen Yan, can you still hear my voice?

Chen Yan didn't speak.

He reached out and touched her fingertips.

The moment the fingertips touched each other, consciousness was suddenly disconnected.

He was muddled, as if he had experienced a dream that lasted for countless years.

Countless whispers flooded into my mind, and endless colorful lights and shadows appeared one after another.

Until a piercing gunshot exploded in his ears, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes——

On a rainy night, Okami, wearing an old dark yellow leather suit, was hiding sideways under the cement board bunker in front of him, holding a long-barreled pistol with a scope in his right hand wearing a leather glove, with a sharp expression on his face. The white smoke from the muzzle was blown away by the wind brought by the heavy rain.

"you're awake!"

Ogami noticed Chen Yan's gaze, and quickly said to him:
"The warehouse fell, and the company used biological and chemical weapons. All the brothers on the front line have been infected. They bought us time, and we must escape!"

what?
Chen Yan didn't understand what happened in front of him at all.

I just...wasn't with Ohgami...in the cemetery...

Before he could react, the scene in front of him was suddenly distorted and deformed. The rainy night was torn apart by an unknown force, revealing the scene behind the paper like a hole in the paper——

In the smoky Internet cafe, Ogami with disheveled hair was squatting on the sofa chair, his normal left hand clasped his toes, and a prosthetic hand that looked like metal was holding the mouse, with a burnt cigarette butt dangling from his mouth. Glancing at Chen Yan, he said inarticulately:
"Chen Yan! What are you thinking! Today is the day to get the first kill! The three bosses in the group this time, we must give them the first kill achievement! Otherwise, we will sleep in the sewer next month! "

Chen Yan lowered his head blankly, and saw himself in a tattered attire similar to Okami.

Under the tattered attire is not a physical body, but a low-quality brain-machine body—without any biological transformation, it just seems to be pieced together from electronic waste.
