"Starting from the second night, after a person named Gao De was attacked by memes, four or five people have been attacked by memes."
One day later, everyone continued to stay in the lounge, but everyone's face became very ugly. From time to time, someone muttered about Tang Wantong coming to take revenge. Zhang Heng sat alone on the floor in the corner of the lounge, lowering his head and talking. Yuehua communicated.
"But it's strange. These people all said they saw ghosts, but no one turned into what Tang Wantong looked like. Doesn't the curse meme intend to continue killing people?"
"No, it's just the reason for the incubation period." Zhang Heng shook his head. He looked at the desperate people in the lounge and whispered, "I suspect that the curse meme is to make these people more afraid."
"fear?"
"The negative emotion of fear is probably a very important mental state in which memes affect reality. To put it simply, in fear, human brain waves are more chaotic, full of peaks and troughs. In this mental state, the patterns Because it’s easier to interfere with this person.”
"You have watched a lot of horror movies, right?" Zhang Heng analyzed, "In horror movies, ghosts usually do not kill anyone directly, but appear in front of the victim over and over again, putting the victim in a kind of situation. In a state of fear and panic, as the victim becomes more and more frightened, the ghost becomes more and more ferocious when it appears, until it finally kills the victim.”
"This is just like the electric light that flashes violently when a ghost appears. It is not that the meme is ideological and wants to scare people, but it is more like a natural law that curses the existence of the meme itself."
"So that's it..." Yuehua nodded with wonder, "I have recorded these speculations in the file."
Zhang Heng nodded, "This is just a guess. If this meme can be contained, and a few death row prisoners can be imprisoned for experiments, it will be of great help to our study of memes." He was about to say something more. , but suddenly, a woman’s scream came from outside the lounge door!
"It's Chang Yue's voice!" Everyone was shocked. Before they could run out, Zhang Heng was the first to rush out of the lounge. The moment he opened the door, he only saw Chang Yue's frightened expression. He looked straight ahead at a male assistant with a dull look on his face!
Standing in front of Changyue was Gaode, who was a little fat. At this time, he had taken off his chemical protective clothing, holding a kitchen knife found in the kitchen, and placed the kitchen knife across his neck.
"It's over, there's nothing left..." Gao De said with a numb expression. Seeing his tone and expression, everyone couldn't help but think of Tang Wantong two days ago...
"Xiao Gao, put down the knife quickly!" Luo Jincheng also rushed out and shouted at Gao De.
However, Gothe didn't listen at all. He just held the kitchen knife tightly and kept cutting on his neck like a saw. Suddenly, bright red blood flowed from the cold back of the knife, and then dripping Drops fell to the ground!
"Your Majesty Commander, do you need to help him?" Yuehua asked in a low voice.
"It's useless. Since the cerebral cortex has been destroyed, even if he is stopped this time, he will still find other ways to commit suicide." Zhang Heng shook his head, without any fluctuation in his expression.
"Help me..." Suddenly, Gothe slowly turned his head, showing a look of indescribable pain and distortion, "I can feel it, it took something away from my body!"
"I'm destroyed, my life is over, help me..."
He tried to take two steps forward, but everyone screamed and backed away. Only Luo Jincheng tried to step forward, but was caught by Zhang Heng.
"The memetic effect on him has reached the explosive stage, and there is no hope of help." Zhang Heng said lightly.
Seeing that no one came forward, Gothe continued to cut his neck with the kitchen knife. As the clicking sound of the blade cutting through the tracheal cartilage was heard, a large stream of blood spurted out with a swishing sound!
"ah!"
Everyone screamed loudly and couldn't help but retreated again. Then they saw dark traces of ulcers spreading towards Gothe's face. In the end, before it was too late, Gothe died completely. In the horrified eyes of everyone, Gothe A 'bang' sound turned into a puddle of black water...
A look of extreme pain flashed in Luo Jincheng's eyes. The deaths of two people in succession brought everyone's spirits to the brink of collapse, even Luo Jincheng. Obviously, if this continued, even Luo Jincheng would not be able to survive.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but frown. These assistants were nothing, but Luo Jincheng couldn't die. If Luo Jincheng died, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Zhang Heng and the entire Stellar Foundation.
"Your Excellency Commander, it is obvious that the code that caused everything is still on a certain electronic device, but destroying all the machines is useless. The other party can convert it into the form of radio frequency at any time. Now there is only one way, and that is to use our As a container, let it enter my mental magnetic field. After all, it is a magnetic field in itself. As long as there is a chance for a head-on confrontation, I can seal it away! "
Just when Zhang Heng's confidence was wavering, Yuehua suddenly spoke and said something like this!
"No!" Zhang Heng denied without thinking, "It's too dangerous. I still have many ways to try, such as using a particle accelerator to accelerate protons to sublight speed to attack it, or using it when it is transformed into code. There are countless layers of firewalls to isolate it, but if it infects your mental magnetic field, I’m not sure you can defeat it. After all, it is a meme, and it cannot be judged by common sense!”
"It's impossible!" However, Yuehua, who has always been obedient, immediately denied it, "The probability of driving it into the particle accelerator is no more than one in a billion, otherwise you wouldn't have implemented it now. It is even more impossible to block it with countless layers of firewalls. It can transform itself into a radio signal at any time. Only my method has a chance of success. Commander, please don’t forget that I have sealed a meme myself!”
"It is precisely because you have the meme function that I can't let you take risks. After all, no one knows what will happen when the two memes meet..." Zhang Heng shook his head, feeling moved in his heart. For no other reason than because Yuehua is always loyal to him no matter what, and has been working silently for more than a year. Although Yuehua has no body, her existence has already penetrated deeply into Zhang Heng's heart!
"But it is precisely because I have the ability to seal and control memes that I have the best hope of defeating it, right?" Yuehua argued, "Commander, you can't hesitate any longer. You may not have noticed it yet. , but your willpower has also been worn down a lot in these two days!”
Hearing this, Zhang Heng took a deep breath and showed hesitation for the first time, "But if you fail, or even let that meme take over your mind, then the entire human race will be completely extinct!"
"I don't care about the extinction of mankind." Yuehua said immediately, "Since my program was reset, the highest priority condition set is to be loyal to you. No matter what, my program prevents me from watching you die. Nothing was done."
Zhang Heng was silent for a moment.
"Moreover, when you encountered the 'Cthulhu' incident in the radiation plane, you misunderstood Cthulhu as a meme. Didn't you say at that time that if you accidentally brought the meme into reality, you would It's up to me to destroy it!" Yuehua continued.
"I was joking at the time..." Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Because I was 100% sure that 'Cthulhu' could not follow me back to reality, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"But you are not wrong. If memes really appear in reality, only I will have a chance to fight against them."
"I understand, in that case, I'll leave it to you..." Zhang Heng sighed secretly. For the first time, he felt that he was too weak. If his mental power could affect microscopic particles and even energy, then It’s definitely not as helpless as it is now!
