Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

A life disappeared. It began to dissociate at the moment when its life came to an end. Dark red embers spread on the skin like a prairie fire, and the flesh and blood sublimated after contacting the air.

It disappeared, leaving absolutely no trace.

It's like water disappearing into the water.

Until now, I still don’t know what Wish is. It looks like a human but is not human. It looks like a carbon-based life but has a lot of non-carbon-based biological characteristics. Its death method is cruel and puzzling——

These are not the crux of the matter.

'The point is, even in BIOS, humans have never changed. '

Wishful felt unspeakable fear, and she thought to herself, how could there be anything in this world that never changed?
She adjusted her mentality and gradually became firmer inside.

There is nothing in this world that will not change.

If so, it must be false.

But she lost all ability and could no longer tell the truth from what happened here.

'Have I really lost all my powers...'

Wish stood up with the crowbar in hand.

'If the BIOS is also in the world, then I shouldn't lose my ability. '

'If BIOS is another world... No, BIOS cannot be another world. How can it be a different world if it is an interconnected space that operates with the same rules? '

'Then, maybe my ability is just suppressed, maybe I can...'

Wishes looked out the door, a thought repeating in his mind.

'I have a wish. '

As always, she wanted to call upon the power that gave her life meaning.

'I want to know the answers I'm looking for. '

Nothing happened.

The dancing flames in the boiler illuminated the determined face.

'I want to know why everything is the way it is. '

Still nothing happens.

The sparks jumping in the boiler fell, and the face of desire returned to darkness.

Has it failed?

Is my guess...wrong?

If my guess is wrong, then BIOS is just a special deeper world where my power cannot be used. This does not prove anything. There is no truth I want here.

The wish was extremely disappointing. After confirming that almost all of his abilities were likely to fail, continuing to explore was a desperate move. Even if he regretted it, there was no way out.

Desperation made her stand there, her whole body stiff, and any thoughts and thoughts in her brain began to deteriorate - she even wanted to give up her life because of this.

The thought of committing suicide frightened her and woke her up. There was a special part in the essence of life that made her start thinking positively again.

'My ability is completely disabled, which proves that BIOS is just a part of the world - a special part - just a special part of the world. Civilization will inevitably appear, and will inevitably develop and then die due to [Apocalypse], All of this is bound to happen, and the process will be similar, and there will even be no differences at all.

The cycle goes on like this over and over again, and the meaningless repetition continues over and over again, and over and over again, and over and over again...

Meaningless!Such a world is meaningless!

The world shouldn't be like this!The world... shouldn't be like this!

Something must be wrong!

Even if the problem does not lie in the BIOS, it must be somewhere related to the BIOS... The truth must be there! '

The moment this thought fell, a phone ring suddenly appeared in the darkness beside her, making her tremble.

As soon as Xixi turned his head, he saw a small table appearing in the corner of the workshop. The ringing sound came from the smartphone on the small table.

She came to the table in silence, picked up her phone, looked at the "unknown call" prompt displayed on the screen, and answered the call.

As she listened to the voice on the phone, her heartbeat slowed down a beat, and her brain went blank for a moment, losing all thoughts.

……

……

At this moment.

In this world, the first island chain of the empire, Dais Island, is a mechanical hive.

When Chen Yan was woken up by the crow in a daze, he felt cold all over his body, and his whole body was almost like hypothermia.

He looked at the crow's face illuminated by the light, shuddered, and suddenly woke up.

"Calling!"

The call came, these three simple words seemed like great news now.

Crow was obviously a little excited too:
"Well, I just arrived and the lighthouse signal has been restored, but the streets are frozen and the mechanical hive has been severely damaged, so the shops are not open yet and you can't buy food..."

Chen Yan mobilized his stiff joints, got up from the sofa, subconsciously took out his mobile phone, glanced at the time of 6:3, and then swiped up the screen, only to see that there was already an official news push from the logistics center on the screen:
[Released by the Joint Meteorological Office of the First Island Chain Logistics Center Electric Power Group]: Typhoon [Apacalops] has left Dais Island and the nearby waters, heading to the second island chain and the ocean to its east, Dais Island and its The lighthouse signal has been restored on nearby islands, and the power facilities have been put into operation in a state of emergency. Regular power supply measures are now being adopted. Power supply will be cycled in a three-hour cycle starting from 5 a.m. every day. Please pay attention to the safety of electricity!
"Cycling power supply means supplying power for 3 hours and stopping for 3 hours. This has been done in Yanan City before."

Crow saw Chen Yan raise his head and explained the matter to him. At the same time, he motioned Chen Yan to look in a certain direction with his eyes. Although his voice was very low, there was no hint of concealment:

"That guy... is in a bad state."

Chen Yan looked in the direction indicated by the crow and saw the strange guest huddled next to the burning trash can, his eyes closed and his expression painful.

"He has a high fever... It's due to illegal intelligent transformation. He has a brain-machine chip that was modified from a mobile phone chip inserted in his forehead. He doesn't even have a power source. He relies entirely on bioelectricity for power. It's really amazing that he can survive until now. It’s a miracle.”

Crow's words were unclear. He could clearly see something, but he was not sure. "I don't know how he got this transformation. The program is very rough. It's just barely usable, but it can run... and it allows him to maintain his basic vital signs."

"But this transformation...I don't know how to put it...this transformation, it's very weird, it doesn't look like something that humans can do."

As their eyes met, Chen Yan understood the meaning in the crow's eyes through synaesthesia - it was not a human being who transformed this strange guest, but a data life.

Chen Yan had already guessed the guest's true identity from previous events. Although he lamented the coincidence of fate, he still couldn't be completely sure.

Now with Crow's confirmation, he could finally be sure who the guest was.

Although it is impossible to determine what the guest has become now, given the guest's current state, his true attributes are not important for the time being - looking at the way he huddled next to the fire, it is already certain that he cannot treat other people. cause some damages.

Crow knew that Chen Yan had understood, so he whispered:
"The Omnic Disease Virus is very harmful to humans who have undergone brain-machine modification, but it will not lead to extremely bad consequences in a short period of time. As long as timely patches are made and loopholes are filled, the occurrence of Omnic Disease can be delayed. ...Although it cannot be cured, at least there is a treatment.

But it's different for data beings... Illegal omnic modifications are neither program-compatible with special personal consciousness nor adaptable brain-machine modifications to the different characteristics of organisms, so the probability of an omnic disease outbreak is very high... …It’s almost inevitable.

Once illegal omnic transformation is carried out, a person is basically finished. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a lunatic or a fool. Even if he is not crazy or stupid, he will probably become an antisocial personality... Even if he can have a short period of sobriety, he cannot remain normal. His mental state... So when we saw him before, he had become like that. "

Crow glanced at the strange guest huddled next to the trash can.

"He is now in the advanced stage of omnic disease... very dangerous."

There was a hint of fierceness in the question in Crow's eyes:
"look……"

Or get rid of him?
Chen Yan already had a plan and asked Crow:
"If we carry out formal transformation on him now, can we put some patches on him to get him out of the state of omnic disease?"

Wu Wu was quite surprised by Chen Yan's decision. In his impression, Chen Yan was not such a "good" person.

It seems that the time spent together is still short.

No matter what the motive was, if Chen Yan decided to save him, he had to follow Chen Yan's wishes.

Crow said: "Let me talk about the medical plan in general."

According to normal procedures, the medical plan needs to be informed to the person being transformed and can only be carried out after the person being transformed has signed it.

But now that the situation is special, we must make it clear to Chen Yan.

"The chip in his head was destroyed by the virus. It can no longer be used. It has to be taken out. But that doesn't matter. The transformation he made is too rubbish. The consciousness is not stored in the chip and remains in the brain."

"We need to replace him with a chip, and you need to choose the chip model."

Chen Yan said:

"Will the Turing chip in the laboratory work?"

Crow thought for a while and said:

"It's not impossible, but I have to find a way to get Turing in the chip... Or I can use an unenabled Turing chip. I can find a way to make a virtual server and send fake codes to the virtual server during the verification phase of chip activation. The return activation command of the fake code is appended with the command "Do not activate Turing", so that the William Adams Group's network verification can be bypassed and the chip will be activated directly, so that Turing will not appear from the chip."

This is obviously a crooked approach.

But neither Crow nor Chen Yan cared.

Chen Yan asked:

"The first floor has been frozen. You have to do the whole process manually. Not only do you have to do a craniotomy, but you also have to do the procedures yourself. Can you do it?"

Crow said:

"The first floor is unusable, but there is still equipment in the laboratory on the third floor. I have tried it before. The professional equipment in the laboratory is much easier to use than the civilian equipment on the first floor... But we have to hurry up. There is probably no one here today. I have to go to work, so you have to help me... Although the manpower is tight, I can barely do the operation."

Chen Yan nodded and turned to Thomas Gilbert on the other side:
"What are you going to do?"

After Thomas Gilbert met Klein, his attitude towards Chen Yan changed drastically. He already knew the basic principles of the operation of the logistics center from Father Hassan, and Chen Yan, who had contact with Klein, It will be his ladder to climb up into the sky.

"I'm fine for now. If possible, I can help."

Crow said cheerfully:
"That couldn't be better."

After the disaster struck, manpower became very scarce in a short period of time. I don’t know what the current mechanical hive is like. People outside must be panicked. Not to mention going to work, no one even goes out on the street.

Thomas Gilbert and Crow held up the strange guest together, while Chen Yan went to the third floor to open the door of the laboratory. The two placed the strange guest on the test stand. The three of them changed into dust-free clothes, and Chen Yan In the experiment, an unopened boxed Turing chip was taken out and the laboratory's dust-free device was turned on. Thomas Gilbert cleaned the brain of the strange guest under the command of Crow. At the same time, Crow began to prepare anesthetics. Chen Yan took out an unused brain robot body from the laboratory warehouse...

After some complicated preparations, Crow's craniotomy began.

.........A scene that is bloody and unbearable to look at......

Half an hour later, the operation was completed, and the strange guest had been put on a new brain-machine body. This body was a high-end product purchased by the laboratory from the New Industrial Zone in Yanan City, so all aspects of its performance were that of a civilian brain-machine. The top of the human body, Chen Yan heard that its overall quality even surpassed some old models of military brain robots - God knows how they knew the physical fitness data of the old models of military brain robots.

Crow drove the last screw on the outside of the brain robot's skull, took a long breath, and said:
"It's done. Please wait a moment. I'll activate the Turing chip in his brain."

After he said this, he suddenly stiffened and stood there shaking violently.

Chen Yan followed his gaze and saw that the guest on the experimental table had opened his eyes.

"Chen Yan."

He rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Yan:

"Thank you, you have gained my kindness."

This is simply the best result.

But the next sentence made Chen Yan's mood turn sharply:

"Chen Yan, I had a dream. I dreamed of a little girl. She walked into the darkness. She encountered difficulties. She defeated the difficulties, but fell into another difficulty."

Chen Yan didn't react immediately:
"What did you say?"

The guests' eyes always fell on Chen Yan:
"She is trying to find the reason for the [Apocalypse], but that is not an area she can touch. If she continues to move forward, she will face many dangers. Contact with the truth will inevitably lead to irreversible loss of control.

I heard my mother's voice in my sleep. My mother said that the girl might never come back.

Chen Yan, help her. "
