A few hours ago, the following records were deleted:

"I'm sorry, but we've used some tough tactics."

"You just call this a 'tough tactic'? That's a great quibble! Is there also a plan to include fatalities in the 'loss of resources' column? ”

"I'm sorry."

"I've heard enough of your apologies! If you want to be so sorry, take that big thing off my head first! Do you really think this thing can suppress my abilities? Also, what's inside that thing around my neck? Poison? Is it set up to automatically inject anyone if they are pulled out or if they observe an abnormal brain wave? ”

"I believe that at least the latter should be effective for you, otherwise you would not be so honest with your character. But calm down, we don't mean that. Personally, I even know you've seen this mushroom head as big as it was back in the day, and whether it works or not, depends on what it's used for. We don't mean to do anything to you, it's just that we have a task to entrust to you. ”

"Task? What do you call a mission in this situation? ”

"As I said, we didn't mean that. You see. ”

"Hey! You ......"

"See? Although there is an auto-injection mechanism, there will be no reaction even if you pull it out. I didn't want to demonstrate this, because that would mean giving you a re-injection — if it weren't for the fact that the non-invasive syringes weren't working fast enough, I would have had them use osmolarity — and contrary to what you think, the auto-injection setup doesn't depend on our brainwaves. It is injected on the basis that as soon as you perceive any foreign 'impurities' in your brain waves, you will inject them directly. ”

“…… What's in there? ”

"It's a deep consciousness blocker. There is a small chance that an unknown injection subject will cause injury. But you've been injected with this thing as a child, and past facts have proven that it doesn't really hurt you, it just puts you in a deep coma. Also, that big thing on your head, you should have seen it when you were a kid. It's used by researchers to guard against your abilities, but you've been able to get past its limits early on, and it's an improved version of it, but it shouldn't affect you yet. But have you ever thought about it, why don't we put this thing on our heads, but on yours? ”

“…… You're kidding? ”

"It's not good-looking, it seems that you have thought of this possibility. Listen, you can go whenever you want, there is no way to restrain you, if you are unlucky, you can try it yourself. But before I do that, I want you to at least listen to me. When I say that I have a task to entrust to you, I am not joking, let alone casually. It's the only thing you're most motivated to do, and I'll put it more bluntly, you're the most qualified to do it. ”

"Wait a minute! Until now, I don't know what exactly makes you so nervous. I don't have the discretion to get involved in your affairs without more information. ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you, and it's why we chose you. I can confidently say that if you choose to sit on the sidelines, you will be the first person most likely to be affected in our analysis. We're doing this now to protect you. Believe it or not, of course, but I've told you all about it. Are you willing to listen to me now? ”

“…… I'll just listen. What are you talking about? ”

"In nature, it should be to prevent the outbreak and spread of the epidemic."

"I want to hear the truth from you."

"This is true, but the concept of 'epidemic' is very different from the commonly understood concept of 'epidemic'. Do you know the basic mechanism by which the virus reproduces? ”

"Of course. When the virus enters the cell, it embeds a fragment of DNA or RNA representing itself into a normal cell, prompting the cell to replicate the virus and spread in a chain. These are general-level knowledge. ”

"And what about computer viruses?"

"It's similar. To put it simply, computer viruses are made in imitation of viruses in nature. It also uses a computer to replicate itself through a fragment of a program that represents itself, and in this way it is chained and proliferated. ”

"Well, the virus itself is a fragment of information. So, we now take it a step further. PLEASE: WHAT ABOUT MEME VIRUSES? ”

“…… What did you say? ”

"Memes. You heard it right, I'm talking about memetic viruses. For you, memes should be a more generic concept than a computer virus. People think, and then they act, and they influence more people to think and produce the same actions. Normally, it is not called a virus, just as DNA and RNA themselves are not called viruses. Although it is similar to replication and contagion, this is just a normal thing. But once a message becomes a meme, and that message is extremely dangerous, then there is no doubt that the meme should be called a virus. It does not inhabit the body in the form of information, but in the mind in the form of information, so it is much more transmissible than the virus we know. ”

"I've heard of this hypothesis."

"Just hypothetical? What a humble. Does anyone else know more about it than you do? Although it may sound unpleasant, it would be as if our human consciousness was just a seedbed and a conduit for memes, nurturing the meme and allowing it to mature and spread. If we are not the masters of ourselves, but just a seedbed for cultivating memes. So, who is really in control? Is it us humans, or is it our meme? I also admit that this idea is also a very controversial point of view now, but I am afraid that in your eyes it may not be. I've noticed that one of the things that you often mention in your paper is that we humans rarely really have control over our minds, and that we are all about being influenced by information at all times, either voluntarily or involuntarily. That's true. If I'm not mistaken, you've caused several massive memetic proliferations yourself. At first you control someone through your abilities, then more people start to imitate that person, then more and more people start to imitate that more person, and so on. In the popular trend of the school city,At least a few of the sources come from you.。 Although you only played a role in the creation of the meme in the first place, the subsequent replication and dissemination are none of your business. But that doesn't change the fact that you're the starting point of the meme, and it's even the most important thing about memes that it's almost autonomous. That's what you want to be sure about, right? So anyone can take this as an assumption, but you are an exception. That's what really happens, that's completely achievable. The person who studies the most memes in the school city,Isn't that you? ”

“…… What exactly did you find? What made you do this? ”

"To put it bluntly, we took a bit. In tracing the origin of RSPK syndrome, a bit fluctuation with a pattern of regularity that suddenly appears in the change of AIM proliferation stance is now interpreted by us as a fragment of a memetic virus. It has some of the characteristics of a memetic virus, but it can't be called a memetic virus at the moment, and it lacks that key information. To use a virus as an analogy, it is the DNA or RNA strand that lacks the most critical link that represents itself. At the moment, it's like a 'shell' of a virus. Although what we have captured is only an empty shell of a virus, if we add a key piece of information to it, it will become a real virus. Do you know? None of us think that this empty shell appeared out of thin air, and someone must have created it, whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally. When we found out about this, we were the first to think of you. Now do you understand why we use this technique? Because the executor didn't know our true purpose, for security reasons, we didn't even disclose the slightest content that might provide association. That's why the way I invite you over is as simple and crude as possible. After all, information can only be information if it is understood. ”

"Doubt me? No, it shouldn't be...... Is it because I'm the most vulnerable source of the virus? ”

"It seems that you yourself can't deny it."

"It doesn't sound like a pleasant thing, but it's true. As a possible subject of infection, I have no more superiority than ordinary people. However, if I become a host, it would be a terrible thing. Even if the diffusion is only used as a measure, there is no better viral vector than me. What's more, my ability can also reduce the antibodies in the human heart. ”

"That's a good point. You're still too optimistic though, and I think you're more susceptible to infection than anyone else. It's not because you're superior to the virus, it's because your ability to give you access to more artificial information, which is a greater likelihood of exposure to the virus. You get the idea, right? At the moment we have no way of judging where the virus came from, what type it is, and what its purpose is - just as ordinary viruses have a purpose, memetic viruses have a clear purpose and means, and even if they have no mind of their own, natural evolution will give them these ends and means - so we have to take some extraordinary measures. The big thing on your head can't stop you from sending information to the outside world, but it can filter the information that comes out of you, just like the researchers used it to block your ability back then. This should provide some means of prevention. This syringe is a kind of insurance, and if it detects that you are receiving dangerous information, it will inject you with a deep consciousness blocker to make you unconscious, which may at least prevent you from understanding the information carried by the virus. ”

"I see. But in that case, why did you give me the task? Since I'm the most dangerous potential host, I'm the one who should be avoided in principle, right? ”

"Because it doesn't make sense. With your abilities, once the epidemic breaks out, you can't be immune anyway. That's why we want to put the task in your hands. On the other hand, you're also the one who best understands how memetic viruses spread, and you're more likely to discover the source of the virus than most people who don't. For us, it's not an adventure, it's the best option. Of course, the choice is yours, and you can say no. But even if it's just to delay the spread of the virus when the outbreak occurs, we can't let you out. Although, as I said before, if you do want to go out, no one here will be able to stop you, but they will still do their best to stop you. We ask for your understanding. As you know, memes themselves have a tendency to replicate themselves. It mutates, and it evolves. Moreover, it affects humans. Perhaps what we are witnessing is the first memetic virus outbreak. Compared to computer viruses, its impact may be overcome. ”

"No more because you convinced me. I consider myself a decent man, and I will do my best to help you in this matter, and I have taken this task. However, since I want to avoid direct exposure to the virus as much as possible, how do I carry out the task of finding the virus? ”

"Welcome in. Your question should not be difficult for you. You can find someone you know and look through his eyes. Control his behavior if necessary, but never touch his thoughts. The best object is someone you have never controlled on a mental level, and because you have no access to thoughts, this person must also be someone you can trust. In addition to this, keep the person in a state of 'ignorance' to prevent him from understanding the virus so that he is safe at least until the virus fully erupts. How many people like this you should know, right? ”

"To find the source of the memetic virus in this way, no matter how high the level of action, it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. Are you sure we have the means to do it? ”

"Yes, that's difficult. However, after we have analyzed the form, it is probably not so simple to organize the information fragments to make it a complete virus. ”

"What do you mean?"

"In nature, an effective form of a virus is the product of natural screening for the survival of the fittest, not to mention that the vast majority of viruses have not survived to the present; Although computer viruses are man-made, they have experienced similar situations in a sense; By analogy, memes also have survival of the fittest in the process of propagation. It's natural to assume that the same is true of memetic viruses. What kind of information does an empty shell need to contain in order to become a truly effective form of virus, I am afraid that it must also be produced through the survival of the fittest in a similar form. It's also a bit hard to believe that we haven't seen any signs of this so far. This is incredible in terms of memes, as the survival of the fittest in memes seems to take place in a very large environmental context. That is, in principle, there should be a large pool of memes for memetic viruses to do this kind of survival of the fittest, but we have not found any traces of this in the AIM proliferation stance. Therefore, we suspect that someone may have prepared a very large 'seedbed' with an all-encompassing environmental background, but this 'seedbed' is basically only in and out of information, and at the same time very small on a physical level. If such a seedbed can be prepared, it may be possible to achieve this. But to tell the truth, we still can't tell what kind of mechanism this possible 'seedbed' actually operates. Personally, I have some conjectures, and I have some agreement. ”

"Very big and very small, is there such a contradiction?"

"Actually, that's another reason why we're looking for you, my conjecture: a very small thing on a physical level, at the same time receiving a lot of external information, and cultivating it as much as possible without leaking it. Do you have anything in mind? ”

"Fantasy Mite...... I see, the priority is to find this 'seedbed'. Well, is the syringe ready? ”

"I'm sorry. Relax a little and hold back. ”

"Hmmm! Can't it be lighter? You're a doctor. ”

"To be precise, a medical student in an internship. Well, hopefully it will work. Now you can go to someone you can trust, and you can go to the person you trust through any of us here. ”

"I have two or three candidates, but none of them are very capable, and the 'seedbed' may have physical protection. I'm afraid I'll need reliable and adequate personnel to support me. ”

"It's best to do this in a single line so that you can control it in case of an accident, so you can only pick one candidate. As for personnel support, don't worry, we've already taken it into account. That's our old partner, and you're still a little familiar with him. ”

"Huh? Do I know anyone like that? ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

The plot of this paragraph:

"If you are a strong single-celled fool, wouldn't it be more appropriate to have one? The kind of hot-blooded stupid guy who will definitely help if you ask him. ”

"Well, that's true. However, if he says, it's better not to look for him because of the reason for fighting with people. ”

"What? Did he lose? ”

"No, actually won. But it seems that I was asked to reflect on the destruction of a lot of public property during the fight, so ......"

"It's really lost to him, who is the opponent?"

"Actually......" (whisper)

"As a stupid person, he has nothing to do to provoke a sister control!" (Wailing)
