[Memetic Effect: Flesh Blanket]

[Source: On June 1, 2024, in the Gantz Island Temporary Observation Experiment Project, it was created by the memetic mutation of infected person 0130 infected with 'Filth', tentatively named 'Flesh Blanket']

[Description: 'Flesh Blanket' is a special meme with infectious disease properties, from the appearance level, it looks like it is formed by flesh spread on the ground, so the name 'Flesh Blanket' is derived from the image, different from the usual type of memetic effect, 'Flesh Blanket' has the dual nature of 'infection' and similar plants]

[Symptoms: All known infected individuals have been assimilated into a part of the 'Flesh Blanket', and when infected, they will mutate from their original biological form to a bunch of plants composed of flesh and blood, and such beings will indiscriminately attack all creatures within a certain range, including but not limited to humans]

[Mode of transmission: The flesh blanket has an extremely terrifying transmission ability, and any life that touches the flesh blanket, including but not limited to humans, will be 100% infected, and its transmission is divided into two forms: 'violent predation' and 'contagion transmission']

[Violent Predation: Stretch out a tentacle to wrap the target, capture the target, if the opponent is a living being, the target will be dissolved and digested within 12 hours, if the target is a plant, the flesh blanket will not attack the opponent, but will be directly digested with the body]

[Transmission of infection: The infected person has no abnormality at first, but as time goes by, the infected person will show symptoms of rash on the surface of the body, which is a pre-symptom, at this time the infected person has a clear contagion, and the rash can be transmitted to all healthy life around him, until thirty hours later, the rash will spread to the whole body of the infected person, and at the same time, because of the memetic effect, the infected person will eat as much as possible and coexist with energy, which is a medium-term symptom]

[After about forty to fifty hours, the infected person will melt into a pool of flesh without warning and begin to attack all life around them, which is an advanced symptom]

[It has not yet been verified whether the infected person can be cured when he or she is in the first and second stages of symptoms]

[Weaknesses; The flame kills the Flesh Blanket, and the Flesh Blanket cannot survive in water or in environments without oxygen or dirt, so the suppression difficulty is low.

After reading the report in his hand, Chen Chen nodded, and threw the report to the Yeshen Temple behind the desk, "It's not bad, although it's not perfect, but in this experiment, the timing of your decision to shut down the X-112 is still very right." ”

"At that time, X-112 took the initiative to alert me, saying that it had detected abnormal fluctuations in memetic readings, and based on my years of experience, I thought this should be the phenomenon of memetic mutation, so I let X-112 temporarily shut down dead space."

The Temple of the Night God replied a little shyly, "Sure enough, as soon as the Gantz server's suppression of the meme was lifted, 'Filth' immediately mutated and eventually generated a new memetic effect, all of which **-112 recorded. ”

"Very well, you can step down."

Chen Chen waved his hand, and the Night God Temple immediately lowered his head and slowly exited the office.

"X, send me a copy of the data X-112 has recorded."

After the Night God Temple left, Chen Chen immediately said, and suddenly, the printer at hand began to print out dazzling patterns.

These patterns are all similar to Basilisk, but in reality, this is the E language used by the god-level civilization of the Killing City Plane.

But such an ordinary language and writing, for human beings, a little mishandling, can destroy human civilization more than 10,000 times......

This is the gap in the level of civilization.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen flipped through his hand, and a transparent NZT-48 appeared in his hand, he swallowed the medicine directly, and then closed his eyes.

After about thirty seconds, Chen Chen reopened his eyes and looked at the dense patterns in his hand again, this time his gaze was fixed on the patterns, as if he wanted to imprint all these patterns into his brain.

But in just ten minutes, a trace of blood appeared in Chen Chen's eyes, as if his brain power was overused.

Chen Chen, on the other hand, gritted his teeth, and at the same time, a trace of blood flowed out of the gap in the corner of his mouth, looking hideous and terrifying.

In this way, half an hour passed, and when Chen Chen closed his eyes again, his expression finally returned to calm.

"Still can't do it......"

Chen Chen muttered in a low voice, he could feel that his brain could clearly engrave every detail of the pattern, but in just a few seconds, these details were forgotten again, as if the hippocampus of the human brain was completely unable to store this kind of information, and all the information passed in his mind......

"Your Excellency Godfather, have you failed again?"

Xiao X's voice came, "Could it be a physiological reason, after all, we can't judge the life form of another civilization at all, and the two sides are likely to have extremely high civilization barriers, maybe only their life form can grasp the knowledge of memes?" ”

"Impossible."

However, Chen Chen insisted, "Science is not undetectable, and undetectable things can only mean that they do not exist, not to mention that I don't think that the concept of 'memes' was created by extraterrestrial civilizations, just like the concept of 'science', can you say that science does not exist before human beings discover 'science'?" Are you kidding! ”

Chen Chen sneered, "This so-called E language, in my opinion, is actually more like a civilized technology, just like the physical formula we have summarized, these Basilisk patterns, in fact, they use visible words to summarize the invisible memes, that is to say, the Basilisk pattern is actually just the embodiment of the meme, you can say that the Basilisk pattern is a memetic effect, but the memetic effect is by no means a Basilisk pattern." ”

"You have a point."

Xiao X showed a thoughtful tone, "But isn't this in conflict with your state at this time?" Why are you still unable to remember the E language even though you have taken NZT-48? ”

"The answer is simple."

Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "After throwing away all the impossible, no matter how incredible the remaining result is, it will be the most correct answer—that civilization has set a password for its own language." ”

"Password?"

"It's very simple, if you want to launch a nuclear bomb, you have a string of keys to enter, and the safe stores thousands of family belongings, and a password will be set to prevent theft by others, so this E language that can control memes, won't there be a password?"

Chen Chen asked rhetorically, "If you think like this, everything can be explained, the memetic effect itself is a new system beyond common sense and existing scientific understanding, in this case, will there also be a memetic effect in the E language itself - not allowing any other civilization to learn E language?" ”

Xiao X suddenly became enlightened when he heard this, "I understand, for that god-level civilization, the E language is like a weapon, although they can control this weapon perfectly, but they are also afraid that the low-level civilization will overtake after getting this weapon and reach the same level as them, so they add a lock to the weapon, so that even if the low-level civilization gets the weapon, it cannot be used because it cannot be unlocked!" ”

"That's it."

Chen Chen snapped his fingers, "So, X-112 is a very important breakthrough, that god-level civilization may not have thought that our low-level civilization would invent the existence of artificial intelligence." ”

"In fact, it can be seen from the fact that their black balls need to borrow human brains to calculate, and it is likely that that civilization has not opened the technology tree of artificial intelligence, so X-112 can drill into the loophole and contact the E language......"

"So, it's actually a godsend!"

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Chen Chen's mind.

"Since the E language can set a lock to prevent other civilized areas from learning, then we can also encrypt our data with memes to prevent leakage."

After thinking about it, Chen Chen asked, "X, communicate with X-112, with its current understanding of the E language, can you set up a special pattern that can make ordinary people die immediately when they see this picture, but the people in our God's forbidden area are immune?" ”

"It can be done."

Little X's voice paused for a moment, and then replied, "Although X-112's understanding of the E language is still very shallow, with the whole observation of the mutation process of filth, it has focused on the regularity of several patterns, from this regularity, X-112 can perform subtle programming of the Basilisk pattern 'eye', after this programming, the 'eye' can still take effect on ordinary people, causing others to be brain dead, but if there is a 'vaccine', it can be easily immune." ”

"Vaccines?"

Chen Chen asked.

"The so-called 'vaccine' is actually a Basilisk pattern, but its nature is not to kill people, but to prevent people from looking at the 'eyes' and causing brain shutdown, just like having been vaccinated in advance."

Little X replied, "And X-112 can also turn off this variation of the E language, so that the chance of mutation of these Basilisk patterns will be minimized." ”

Chen Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "You can try it!" ”

As he spoke, the printer next to him creaked again, and soon a complex abstract pattern appeared on the paper.

Different from the Basilisk patterns that Chen Chen had seen before, this was a colorful pattern, as if there were lines of light beating in front of him, but when he looked closely, these patterns had no meaning.

As the pattern became more and more complete, suddenly, a special throbbing came out of Chen Chen's mind, and he seemed to have an illusion, an illusion of being stared at......

It wasn't until the entire picture was printed out that Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and he picked up the pattern, "Is this picture the so-called 'vaccine'?" ”

"Yes, according to the 'cognitohazards' and 'infohazards' produced by the memetic effect, this 'vaccine' can produce a special kind of 'cognitive immunity', you only need to look at this pattern, and you will not be cognitohazed by the memetic attack."

Hearing this, Chen Chen carefully observed the pattern again, only to see that there was an eye faintly buried in a pile of meaningless brush and ink on it, but when he looked closely, it seemed that there was nothing.

Yes, it's just a set of abstract pictures that don't make any sense, and maybe some performance artists can sell them for one or two hundred yuan.

"Okay, after looking at this picture, you are equivalent to getting vaccinated in advance, and then, please take a look at another pattern."

With Xiao X's words, another pattern was printed out by the printer again, Chen Chen looked at it, but found that the second picture was dozens of times more complicated than the first one, Chen Chen just glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.

This pattern also depicts an eye, but this eye is formed by the overlapping of countless eyes, some of them are laughing, some are crying, some show a touch of tenderness, like a lover's smile, and some are full of fear, as if they have seen an infinite abyss......

Countless eyes are layered on top of each other, and finally form such an eerie pattern.

"Is this the 'eye'?"

Chen Chen couldn't help but gasp, he could be sure that this was not the first time he had seen this pattern, he had seen this pattern in the Killing City Plane before, and it had taken him dozens of minutes to get used to it.

But I didn't expect that this time I saw it again in reality.

However, unlike before, although Chen Chen was still a little dizzy after seeing this pattern at this time, it was not at all like before, and he almost passed out.

At this point, he just had a peculiar feeling of nausea, and it was getting weaker and weaker as his brain adjusted.

"This is the X-112's modified 'eye'."

Little X replied, "But don't worry, you've already seen the vaccine in advance, so this new 'eye' won't cause you any damage." ”

As he spoke, the entire picture was completely released from the printer, but Chen Chen had lost any discomfort.

"I see."

Chen Chen showed a look of surprise, "Is there any other difference between this improved 'eye' and the previous 'eye'?" ”

"There isn't much difference other than the elimination of variability, it's just that it can be 'prevented' by another pattern."

Little X replied, "We only need to use this 'eye' as a watermark of some classified documents, and we can indiscriminately all spies who have no permission to read classified documents." ”

"Very well, then here's the problem."

Chen Chen snapped his fingers, "How long is the efficacy of this vaccine?" After all, you have to understand that the human brain forgets, will the vaccine appear for too long and cause the brain to forget the memory, which will lead to the failure of the vaccine? ”

"Rest assured, the duration of the vaccine is permanent."

Xiao X replied, "After all, it is the language system of a god-level civilization, and these concerns of yours will not appear at all. ”

"Is that so?"

Chen Chen couldn't help but think about it when he heard this, and after a while, he spoke again, "In that case, let's give this new secrecy mechanism a name, after all, the name Basilisk pattern is not conducive to classification and induction, so let's call this kind of pattern 'Memetic Erasure Catalyst' Okay......"
