Chapter 19 Rule 3: Public phone booths are safe houses

A connection prompt sounded, and along with the sound of electricity, a man's voice sounded extremely impatient on the other side of the phone.

"Hey! Is that the newcomer who caused trouble? You are so awesome! I asked you to come 13 minutes early, but you came over a fucking hour early! I'm really convinced!"

What...what...

The scratched employment notice stated, "Before going to work, please enter the park within XX minutes of work time."

Is that XX actually 13...

Chen Yan didn't care to think about this, and stared straight at the uninvited guest in the blizzard.

The little girl's voice got closer and closer, her figure became clearer and clearer, and Chen Yan's hair gradually stood up as the little girl got closer.

In the blizzard, the little girl's shadow seems to have many arms.

What has she become?

The voice on the phone was extremely irritable.

"You're stupid...that's all, that's all, who hasn't had time to be a newcomer?"

The person on the phone was completely comforting himself.

"When I first became a newcomer, I was much stupider than you!"

Chen Yan heard another meaning from the man's words and said bluntly:

"If I was hopeless, you wouldn't talk so much nonsense to me, would you?"

Chen Yan felt uneasy because he couldn't be sure whether his guess was correct.

The man let out a strange scream with surprise in his tone.

"Hey! The newcomer this time actually comes to work with his brains in mind!"

"As a reward for bringing your brain to work, I have a surprise for you:

Public telephone booths are our safe houses. As long as you enter a public telephone booth, you will get a 100% life safety bonus!"

"Congratulations! You are safe now!"

Chen Yan looked at the monster getting closer and closer in the blizzard, and suddenly an idea flashed in his head, and he immediately asked:

"[Public telephone booths are absolutely safe safe houses], is this also a rule?"

There was a noticeable pause on the other side of the phone.

One second later.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you guessed it right again."

The man's tone on the phone changed inexplicably.

"You really surprised me, Mr. Chen. Among the newcomers in recent years, you are the best."

Chen Yan didn't understand what he meant and didn't respond to his "praise".

Because the little girl's figure had already appeared in Chen Yan's field of vision.

She has two pairs of arms, one long and one short.

The short one is her own arm.

The long arms were not covered by sleeves and were completely exposed to the snowstorm.

It was a woman's arm that was torn apart.

A man's voice mixed with the sound of electricity came to Chen Yan's ears, and his tone was half mocking and half sad.

"Look, look, Mr. Chen, this is the creation of [Dirty Blood] after corruption. Look how ugly she is, look how miserable she is..."

Dirty blood?

What it is?

"Are you surprised, Mr. Chen?"

"Isn't this different from the world you originally knew, Mr. Chen?"

The current in the phone was disordered and it made a "beep" sound.

"The electric current is disordered because the corrupted organisms will produce chaotic bioelectromagnetic fields."

"This magnetic field will disrupt the current and even cut off the current in severe cases."

"By the way, this is science, not [rules]."

Chen Yan stared at the little girl in the blizzard, his voice so low that he could hardly hear it.

"It's really unconvincing to mention science in front of such an unnatural monster."

There was a chuckle from the other side of the phone, but no more words came out.

Chen Yan's attention was still on the little girl.

She stopped less than 3 meters directly in front of the bus stop.

Her upper body was covered in blood, and she seemed to have a very high body temperature. The snowflakes evaporated the moment they fell on her body.

When the evaporated water mist comes into contact with the air, it is immediately blown away by the snowstorm without a trace.

Her skin was ulcerated, and because she was close enough, Chen Yan could even see the maggots under her ulcerated skin.

What has she become?

Chen Yan's inner doubts expanded infinitely.

Even though the man on the phone had admitted that "public phone booths are absolutely safe safe houses" is a rule, he still didn't dare to make a sound.

But the little girl has successfully resisted the rules——

When she was at the gate of the zoo, she was punished for breaking the rule [no left turns].

Then, through his own "strength", he resisted the punishment of the rules - restored the soles of his feet to normal, and regained his vision.

"Some things... some things that are about to become corrupt will transcend the constraints of [the rules]."

The man on the phone made a voice, and every beat of the subtle, hoarse electric sound stimulated Chen Yan's nerves.

Chen Yan saw a confused look on the girl's decaying face.

She seemed to be looking for something, but couldn't find it.

Is she looking for Chen Yan and his four people who escaped?

The man's electric voice came again on the phone.

"[Corruptibles] will gradually lose their minds and only know how to pursue their most important things."

"Mr. Chen, guess what this girl is looking for?"

The girl looked left and right, but she still couldn't see what she was looking for.

The confusion on her face was gradually replaced by anger and impatience, which exploded in just a few seconds.

"ah!!!"

She let out a scream, and the blizzard froze in the sky.

The man's surprised voice came from the phone.

"Eh? What's in this girl's body is actually the [Dirty Blood] of the [Moon Familia]!"

The voice on the phone was filled with twisted excitement.

"Mr. Chen, please witness all this!

[Moon God]’s criteria for selecting Familiars are very harsh, and under normal circumstances, [Moon Goddess] cannot be seen.”

Chen Yan clearly felt that the man had hidden words like "Today will open your eyes".

In fact, the man on the phone didn't need to say anything, Chen Yan was already stunned.

Outside the public phone box, the snowstorm has stopped.

It didn't stop falling, but became completely still - the blizzard in the sky was still in mid-air!

Immediately afterwards, the blizzard floated upward gently and began to return to the sky.

The blizzard in mid-air flew towards the sky, and the heavy snowflakes piled on the ground scattered into endless snowflakes. Following the blizzard in the sky, it continued to rise in the direction of return...

It's like a waterfall formed by snowflakes hanging upside down above the fill-in-the-blank space.

The girl took steps, ran towards the end of the road, and disappeared into the rising snowfall in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Chen, the 'miracle' you see in front of you is the [rules] set by the girl for this small space."

"Playing with the rules of space is the strength of [Moon Familiar]."

"Even if the intensity of the [dirty blood] in this little girl's body is very low...

Um……
