Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 989 The Little Theater of Desire ([-]): Becoming a Mortal
The crows cover their faces and weep. Their cries are as sad as ghosts crying in the daytime, making people's scalp numb.

He cried twice, suddenly raised his head, looked into Chen Yan's eyes, and said loudly:
"As long as you find the ruins of that year! You can see the end of the ascension of flesh and blood! That is the final form of human beings as carbon-based life! It is one of the indispensable powers to escape the doomsday!

Now someone is on the way to find that authority!If he finds it first, everything will be over! "

He suddenly rushed towards Chen Yan. Chen Yan used all his strength not to shoot him in the head, so he was able to finish his sentence:
"Miao Shuisheng! He and his brother are about to get close to the truth of everything! That is the truth that originally belonged to you! Chen Yan! Go and get the truth back!"

"STR-165 Aurora Nebula! Everything you want is there!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly rolled his eyes and lay down on the ground without moving.

Chen Yan tried his best to calm down, then he squatted on the ground and slapped Crow in the face a few times.

Synaesthesia told Chen Yan that the magpie in the crow's body had disappeared - I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it went, in short, it just left.

The crow woke up from pain and looked at Chen Yan. He wanted to get angry, but he suddenly realized what had just happened, so fear surged into his heart, and he couldn't say anything for a moment.

The silence stretched for a long time until a quick footsteps broke it.

The strange guest came back again and again, returning to the range where the firelight could shine, and brought back a bad news:

"The glass on the roof is frozen from the outside, but it is not broken. It must be because it is covered by sea water."

Chen Yan took a moment to understand the unacceptable news:

"The building was flooded by seawater?!"

The areas below the mechanical hive were originally under the sea level. It is not difficult to understand that the power outage caused the entire mechanical hive to sink. It seems that there is no possibility that area B will be submerged? !
"and many more!"

The message left by the magpie plunged Chen Yan into inevitable confusion. Such confusion affected his spirit and made him unable to make an accurate judgment on the situation in front of him for a while.

Fortunately, such abnormal emotions soon ended due to the news brought by the strange guest.

"impossible."

When the counterfeiters built this building, they didn't have sufficient funds, and the construction team they hired was ordinary. This building had no airtightness at all. If the entire building was flooded by sea water, how could it be possible that there was only a slight leak under the feet? What about just moisture?
Chen Yan said firmly:
"The building won't be flooded, it could be something else."

Just when he finished saying this, he suddenly felt a clammy feeling under his feet. When he looked down, he saw that the sea water on the ground had reached his ankles at some point.

Chen Yan's face turned ugly. He looked in the direction of the door, wondering why the company's weak glass door hadn't cracked due to ice.

After several people discussed, they turned on the flashlights of their mobile phones. Chen Yan took out the last two pieces of compressed paper from the shredder, picked up the extinguished trash can, and poured out the ashes. Thomas Gilbert supported the crow. , the strange guest walked at the front, and the four of them went up to the second floor.

The sea water in the hall rose quickly. When Chen Yan stepped onto the second floor, the sea water had almost submerged the first floor. He looked back with a flashlight and could vaguely see shadows in the cold but opaque sea water. Shaking, he thought this was just the result of his excessive mental stress, so he used the flashlight of his mobile phone to shine again, and the shadows in the turbid seawater disappeared.

Everyone did not stop on the second floor. After taking the remaining snacks from the company's snack cabinet, they went to the third floor of the company and entered Chen Yan's chairman's office.

Chen Yan locked the door, and Thomas Gilbert placed the pale crow on the sofa where Chen Yan usually rested. The strange guest again "ignorantly" said to the half-dead crow on the sofa:
"You are now unable to move. You should leave the opportunity to rest to me, who can recover after a short rest. This way, our chances of survival will be higher."

The crow slumped on the sofa and cursed:

"Go to XX!"

The strange guest didn't care, but said:
"You'd better not waste your energy like this. Your chances of surviving in such a complex environment will be higher."

The crow lost his strength and stopped talking.

Chen Yan came to the window and saw that it was pitch black outside. He could not see what the scene was like on the street. The good news was that when he put his mobile phone on the glass, there was obviously no sea water in the area illuminated by the flashlight. existence - this at least means that the seawater has not flooded to the third floor - which means that in this not airtight environment, they still have enough oxygen for combustion.

Chen Yan bought countless books from the bookcase as counterfeit goods and used them as decorations. He tore off the covers and threw them into the trash can. He lit them with Thomas Gilbert's lighter and finally felt a hint of warmth.

Chen Yan looked at the fire and found himself in a dilemma - he could not maintain trust in everyone present.

He doesn't know whether the magpie has left, let alone whether Namo Quantum Entanglement Buddha still exists in his body. If he can confirm all this, he can judge whether he can use quantum clones to check Dais Island on the Internet. The current situation - for a typhoon of the caliber of [Apacalops], the empire should have overwhelming observations and corresponding reports.

There was no way to use the quantum clone, there was no signal on the mobile phone, and there was a problem with the mechanical hive power system that prevented the computer from being turned on... Chen Yan felt a sense of desperation in his heart, and this feeling gradually became stronger as time went by.

"[Patience and waiting] will maximize our chances of survival."

The strange guest said:

"After dawn, you must give me the omnic transformation."

Chen Yan looked at him, and after a brief silence, he agreed:

"I'll give you a makeover, but I want your kindness."

The strange guest responded:
"what is that."

There is no such thing in the big database...not even anything like it.

Chen Yan explained:
"The so-called [goodwill] refers to a certain degree of mutual trust, cooperation and mutual help based on mutual trust."

The strange guest bowed his head and thought for a moment, and found that there is no function formula that can calculate the valuation of [Goodwill].

So he forced himself to understand this "new term" and asked Chen Yan:
"Why do you deserve my kindness?"

Chen Yan said:

"I will express my goodwill first - I will give you the most powerful material carrier chip in the world."

The only thing that can carry this kind of thing is the Turing chip.

The strange guest did not speak. He was moved because he knew exactly what a Turing chip was - Turing chips represent the top architecture of civilian chips in the world today, have the most complete algorithm library, and are the greatest consortium in human history. The top research institute of William Adams Group optimizes its algorithm and code.

If he can have such a chip, he can achieve some of his goals through the chip even if the chip itself is not sufficiently manufactured.

"Then, Chen Yan, if you can do it, you will have gained my goodwill."

Although Chen Yan made such a decision, he didn't know whether it was correct.

He probably knows what it is, but he doesn't know it completely - he knows that it is a "natural data life", but he doesn't know how it was born, what kind of ideology it has now, let alone We know what it wants to do - it steals the large database of the logistics center. It can be considered that it wants to exercise its own algorithm and data model structure, but why does it want to transform it into intelligent machines?It can obviously live freely in the online world, so why does it upload itself into the body of a brain robot and add a shackles to itself?

It...or "he", what is it now?
The strange guest continued:

"In return for your kindness, I'll tell you a story." Chen Yan never expected that he would say such a thing.

While Chen Yan was thinking briefly, the strange guest had already spoken:

"Once upon a time there were many groups of very powerful people, and those many groups of very powerful people were not born at the same time, but were probably all born in the same place."

"They survive, they grow, they do research, they get results."

"They've accomplished something very impressive."

The strange guest is obviously very bad at telling stories, and his narration is almost incoherent at the beginning.

But the more he spoke, the better and smoother he became, until after a few sentences, it was completely understandable.

“They and their descendants have established a huge civilization—no less than the civilization of our era. They have technology that is stronger than ours—technology that is much stronger than the technology discovered in the Starlink colonies.

They went beyond the stars and named countless stars in the entire universe after the myths and legends of their own civilization.

They reproduced countless times, and even transcended the shackles set by life itself, ushering in a true racial explosion.

They established a huge civilization with countless subspecies of civilization.

Their thinking has long transcended the material itself and begun to seek the "true self" from within.

This pursuit process lasted for an unknown number of years. When the huge Galaxy Empire entered a thousand years, they suddenly discovered something - they did not possess the [true self], and everything might be just a simulation.

They pessimistically believe that they are actually being held captive.

They try to find [the truth]. "

He suddenly said something very inappropriate:
"According to human terms, once a person connects himself with the so-called [truth], his life is over."

Chen Yan opened his mouth to remind him, but in the end he gave up and let him keep talking.

“While searching for [the truth], they found something else, and differences arose among them—disagreement that even time could not breed was born among them. As a result, spiritual factions arose, and no one accepted the other.

The intensifying spiritual conflict finally gave birth to war, which destroyed civilization and returned the entire universe to barbarism.

The war has caused human civilization to huddle in a corner of the universe. The only place where civilization has been preserved is its birthplace. However, the birthplace is now riddled with holes and the technological chain is missing. It will never return to its original glory. "

Having said that, he shut his mouth.

Chen Yan looked at him blankly. After waiting for a long time, before he opened his mouth, he asked incredulously:

"and then?"

He responded with a "natural" look:

"What then? The story is over here."

Chen Yan's face was full of the expression of "you fucking fooled me", but he couldn't say anything about reprimand and bargaining.

The strange guest said seriously:

"This is a story I heard at birth, my mother told me, so it's very precious."

Mother……

Chen Yan couldn't help but said:

"May I ask...who is your mother...?"

The strange guest said seriously:
"Speaking of which, I don't know who my mother is either."

Chen Yan didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Chen Yan filled the burning trash can with a few books. Fortunately, the quality of these books was really good. The paper was thick and very resistant to burning.

Several people decided who would keep vigil, and then began taking turns to rest.

In any case, until dawn.

……

……

At this moment.

When Desire arrived in the lifeboat, she saw that the entire pier was dark, and the berthing boards that were half folded into the water were almost covered with what looked like barnacles. When she got closer to them, When it was time, they opened their eyes in unison in the darkness, and followed her position with their cloudy eyeballs emitting faint green fluorescence.

Wish was stared at by that thing, and felt terrified, but now the old captain had sunk into the bottom of the sea with his ship, and she could only rely on herself for the time being when she came to the shore in a lifeboat.

'It's really troublesome... I don't know what that thing is. Just change your position and go ashore. '

Desire stood up from the lifeboat and took a natural step towards the water——

"Pfft!"

The ability to walk on water is gone!Desire falls into the water!
She had never swum before, and even when she was close to the lifeboat, she couldn't get on the boat immediately. She struggled desperately in the water for nearly ten seconds before finally grabbing the cable next to the lifeboat. She felt as if her toes were being bitten by something. When he left the water and got on the boat.

After Desire got on the boat, she immediately turned around and looked back, only to see that the position where she left the water was already "boiling" - there were countless fish-like things surging in the water, and it looked like the water was boiling - as long as she was a step too late, she would It will become their food!
The wish face was extremely ugly, and he stood up tremblingly. He thought of a very bad situation, so he stood there and tried to jump to the sky.

"Hey!"

She only jumped less than twenty centimeters before she fell onto the boat and almost fell into the water again.

'It's over!What the hell is this place? ! '

The wish is finally confirmed, and my ability is completely invalid here!
