In the modern society with the rapid development of electronic technology, there are countless true and false news circulating on the Internet.

The information that everyone receives is extremely fragmented.

How to stand out from the massive fragments of information and make those who are numb to the new excitement remember?

Bombardment propaganda, or give something even more novel.

The former is a common means in the entertainment industry, and the latter is a trend that caters to the curiosity mentality.

In a sense, the Foundation is also a product of the latter.

Pop-up ads may be hated by many people, but if they appear to be clearly different from their peers, people can't help but notice.

I don't know how many people have seen the following passage on the Internet-

"If you're reading this, you've been in a coma for almost 20 years. We're trying new treatment options right now, and we don't know where this message will appear in your dreams, but we really want you to see it. Please wake up quickly. ”

When these words first appear in front of me, even those who are accustomed to the ordinary and stick to reality will find it a little interesting.

Those who think more will follow this line of thought and think deeply, and maybe even doubt their own worldview.

Of course, nothing will change in the end.

This is the psychology of curiosity.

Or in other words, eagerly explore and seek new things to satisfy one's curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

The indelible root of human beings and the source of progress.

In the face of the unknown beyond common sense, it is possible to be scared and excited at the same time, so it is no wonder that some people shout that "fear is a pleasure".

It is this psychology that Guan Li exploits.

He had only learned about part of the Foundation in the past, and he couldn't memorize all the item numbers like some fanatics would, but he knew some of the basics.

- For example, the origin of the Foundation, the important figures of the Foundation, the black technology of the Foundation, etc......

It is a world that has been perfected by countless people: concepts and anti-concepts, memes and antimemeses, reality and surreality.

Some things are not destined to be buried by time, and the leaping imagination will be the source of its magic to attract all beings.

Guan Li has prepared the soil for it to grow, and all it takes is to sow a few seeds and wait for the flowers to bloom.

Now, the seeds are starting to spread on the web.

In the form of some rare virus.

Only 100 people were lucky enough to receive seeds in the first batch.

……

When that window suddenly popped up, Ren Jiyuan's heart refused.

As a programmer ape...... 's younger brother, he finally borrowed this computer with super good network speed from his brother, and before he could touch the keyboard, he encountered an accident.

He didn't order any illegal websites, did he?

Why did you get pop-ups?

The so-called "legitimate" websites nowadays are simply more rogue than the other!

Although he felt that it was unlikely that he would be hit by a virus, Ren Jiyuan still didn't dare to be too careless, and immediately prepared to close the pop-up window and then open the firewall, anti-virus software, computer manager and other things to clean up.

He remembered the warnings he had to give to the computer when it was handed to him.

What are "there are a lot of important documents", "the work is all done by this machine", "don't mess around", "I can't afford to lose money if I break it, I will sell you" and so on......

When you hear it, it's a bluff.

If it's really important enough to be that way, dare to let Ren Jiyuan, a rebellious teenager, spoil it?

Well, in fact, Ren Jiyuan also admits that he is rebellious, he is at most a mild secondary school teenager.

So he's still quite obedient, and if something goes wrong with someone else's computer, he really has to pay for it!

However, this situation is almost impossible, after all, my Internet access path is so healthy......

After closing the page several times, Ren Jiyuan stared at this pop-up window with an extremely tenacious desire to survive and fell into deep thought.

Healthy?

However, compared with the previous rogue ads, this pop-up window does seem particularly fresh and refined.

There are no fancy pictures of the artwork, and there are no sensational statements that poke at "human nature", and the whole page is very clean.

On the black underside, which was slightly reddened at the beginning, only a few paragraphs were listed in a regular manner-

"Thank goodness we finally got in touch with you......"

After Ren Jiyuan ruthlessly nodded the cross, the new page was still in the original style, but the words on it were changed-

"Wait! Don't leave! we need you...... The Foundation is being exposed to the public!"

Oh, there's a plot to this?

Foundations, what Foundations, secret organizations?

Ren Jiyuan, the second junior in secondary school, raised his eyelids with interest, and looked at the response button below very excitedly.

But when I think about it, it's a powerful virus......

Well, he's definitely going to be punched in the ass and blooming.

Forget it, life matters.

Goodbye Foundation.

The third pop-up –

"Don't you want to know the reality of the world?"

The background begins to glow, and the tone of the font seems to be darker.

Ren Jiyuan wanted to know what this thing could pull out, but he knew that this was not his own computer and couldn't provoke a virus.

Painful closure.

When he has money, he must buy his own computer, and play with ten or eight viruses under it.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Human beings have developed so far, and there are fewer and fewer things to fear, but the absurdity has not disappeared. ”

"Do you believe in those incredible legends?"

"We know you live in a sane, logical world that's orderly and uninteresting, don't we?"

Ren Ji took it.

He's tried all the methods to clean up and kill the virus, but he didn't mess with this magical pop-up.

No one believes that it's not a virus!

But which one is so idle to do the virus?

Don't make trouble, don't disrupt, just have a conversation?

The untold truth on the back side of the world?

This kind of thing can only be believed in by secondary two diseases?

Ren Jiyuan moved his finger and clicked the fork, not surprisingly seeing a new paragraph appear.

And the font is unprecedentedly bleak -

"It seems that you are happy with your life now, and perhaps we shouldn't bother you.

So this is the last time, close this window, forget about it, and live as normal as you have for countless years.

Sorry, goodbye. ”

Ren Jiyuan: "......"

He stared at the page for a full minute, unsteady as if a pack of cats were scratching wildly.

Is it really the last time? Can you leave with another click?

Nothing seems to be a problem.

But in case...... What if there is some truth in these words?

Why don't you give it a try?

……

Isn't it a virus?

It's a big deal to let his brother come back and reinstall the system!

The big deal is to be beaten, who hasn't been beaten since childhood?!

Try and you won't die.

Even if you want to die, let's see what this thing is trying to do.

At this moment, the desire to learn suppresses the desire to survive.

After pulling a bunch of reasons for himself in his heart, Ren Jiyuan resolutely pressed the left mouse button.

Then look at the computer and the screen goes black in an instant.
