377 - The truth that gradually emerges
In a desolate town, everything is silent.
There is not a single figure in the wide streets, even the houses that are next to each other are quiet, and only the starry shops and vacant cars on the side of the road can appreciate the prosperity of the past.
In the whole town, only fat rats scurried out of the fields, crossed the wide road, and scurried into the fields on the other side.
Occasionally, wild dogs and wild cats can be seen running in one direction, as if there is something behind them that makes them extremely afraid......
Behind them, there is a huge cosmopolitan city.
It's just that if you stand on a high place at this time, you will find that the skyline of this metropolis exudes an unusual coldness, and the black clouds in the sky are rolling strangely, with a kind of madness in the bottom of the earth, and in this apocalyptic atmosphere, the whole city is like a ghost land.
At this time, Chen Chen appeared in one of the houses in this town.
He sat in front of the computer, and there was a pitch-black USB flash drive inserted into the chassis, but what was strange was that the USB flash drive was constantly flashing with bright points of light, just like the stars in the night sky.
"You have to be fast, there's always a sense of foreboding......"
Chen Chen muttered silently, he quickly selected the movie that represented the curse, and then double-clicked to open it, but after selecting the movie, the computer not only opened the movie, but kept flashing, and at the same time made a clicking sound, which seemed to have some malfunction.
"Problems with the computer?"
Chen Chen frowned, but gradually noticed that the clicking sound in the computer seemed to be a little out of tune, and unconsciously, it slowly turned into a gurgling sound......
"Something is wrong!"
Chen Chen didn't think about it, and immediately pulled out the USB flash drive, and at the same time, the wall in front of him quickly collapsed with a bang, and a gap of two meters in diameter appeared!
Chen Chen stepped on his feet, and his body flew out with a buzz, resuspended in mid-air.
It was only at this time that Chen Chen looked towards the entrance of the cave with a serious expression, only to see seven or eight slender and miserable arms slowly stretching out from those broken walls, waving at Chen Chen in a twisted manner......
"Is it almost the time of the explosion......
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes, this is a bit tricky, the outbreak period of the memetic effect is equivalent to a person's death is approaching.
Don't look at the fact that Chen Chen can still fly into the sky and escape now, in fact, distance is not an obstacle to memetic effect killing at all, even if he can fly out of the atmosphere, or even fly out of the solar system, it will be useless.
Because, memes don't talk to you about the laws of physics.
Chen Chen gritted his teeth, he chose a room again, and rushed in directly through the window.
With a bang, Chen Chen broke into the room directly, after seeing a laptop placed in the room, Chen Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the laptop, didn't dare to stay in the room at all, and flew out again!
It wasn't until he flew back into the sky that Chen Chen pressed the boot button of the notebook, this alien computer was very powerful, but it turned on quickly in five or six seconds, and fortunately, the system did not set any password, and directly entered the operation interface.
Seeing this, Chen Chen quickly inserted the USB flash drive, and then clicked on the cursor of the USB flash drive, but at this moment, Chen Chen suddenly felt a pain in his throat.
It was a very strange feeling, as if something was scratching at my throat and trying to poke it out......
Chen Chen subconsciously touched his throat, but suddenly, Chen Chen's expression changed, he opened his mouth involuntarily, and at the same time, a miserable white and slender palm suddenly poked out of Chen Chen's throat and clasped Chen Chen's cheek!
In an instant, the yin qi "gurgling" sound came directly from Chen Chen's throat, and the sound became louder and closer......
At this time, Chen Chen had completely lost the ability to breathe, and he only felt that his chest and throat seemed to be stuffed with a large piece of hard object, and it was still extending! It was a woman's arm, and under the arm, there seemed to be more and bigger foreign objects trying to get out of Chen Chen's body!
Once drilled out, Chen Chen would be dead!
Click......
Chen Chen's throat made an overwhelming clicking sound, and his chest cavity also bulged rapidly, as if a person was slowly squirming in his chest, about to be born!
At this critical moment, Chen Chenqiang endured the indescribable pain, he directly used the trackpad of his laptop to select the "New Version of the Grudge", and then pressed the left button fiercely!
Click!
In an instant, Chen Chen only felt that it was dark in front of him, and a pure black tone and no light channel appeared in front of him!
That's the USB flash drive's passage to the Otherworld!
And at the moment when this passage opened, Chen Chen even plunged forward, and the whole person plunged into the passage in one go!
In the next second, Chen Chen only felt that his eyes were dark, as if he had fallen into an endless quagmire, and there was no light in front of him.
However, the moment he entered the passage, Chen Chen felt that his throat was loosened in vain, and before Chen Chen could react, his feet stepped on the ground again.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Before he had time to look around, as soon as Chen Chen stepped into this new world, he squatted down and coughed heavily! His throat was almost broken by that arm just now, and if Chen Chen's action was one step later, there would only be death.
Chen Chen really didn't expect that after a failed pursuit of himself, Ga Coconut would attack directly from his body, if he hadn't opened the channel of the USB flash drive at the last moment, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of the cursed meme at this time.
I have to say that this type of attack is really chilling......
However, the channel of the USB flash drive has the ability to isolate the memetic effect, so the moment he enters the channel, the meme is isolated from the channel, so Chen Chen can survive smoothly.
However, this stop is only temporary, and if Chen Chen returns to the passage now, he will still continue to be chased and killed by Ga Coconut.
Wait, isolate memes?
Chen Chen's originally happy expression suddenly froze, and at this moment, a large number of unremembered memories suddenly flooded into his mind, and these memories continued to overlap and conflict with Chen Chen's original memories, making Chen Chen's body tremble violently!
At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly remembered that he had seen a pair of eyes countless times in himself!
It was a pair of blood-red eyes, cold and hollow, not at all possessed by humans, it had appeared in every corner, even on everyone's face!
β¦β¦
In the cold and gloomy classroom, Professor Wang Xi mechanically narrated the knowledge in the textbook......
When it came to the fixed Hayflik limit, the gel pen in Chen Chen's hand seemed to have been rehearsed thousands of times, and he flew out with a search......
Chen Chen subconsciously bent down, but saw that those blood-red eyes were staring at him under the table......
Chen Chen wanted to scream, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound, as if something inexplicable was blocking his throat......
[I see you!] γ
At this moment, Chen Chen's eyes first showed a hint of horror, and then his expression completely dimmed, and his expression returned to calm again, as if he had forgotten everything that had just happened, and just looked sluggish under the table.
"That classmate over there who got under the table, you can answerβ"
Immediately, Professor Wang Xi's voice came from the podium......
β¦β¦
In the school's 404 dormitory, Chen Chen plugged in the USB flash drive, and then the names of four movies appeared on the computer - "Cursed .avi", "Death is Coming.avi", "Ghost Call.avi and "Midnight Bell.avi".
Seeing the names of these four movies, Chen Chen was just about to do something, but at this moment, the blood-red eyes on the computer screen resurfaced......
[I see you!] γ
Chen Chen's pupils shrank, and he jumped up in fright, but the moment his eyes left the computer, he was suddenly stunned.
"What, it took so much effort, and nothing ...... the end"
Chen Chen closed the window speechlessly, "It turns out that the USB flash drive is broken." β
A few minutes later, the rest of the dormitory came back, and Chen Chen handed the USB flash drive to Zhou Jie on the side.
Zhou Jie's eyes lit up, he took out his computer and plugged the USB flash drive into it, and then said excitedly, "Who said it was bad?" Isn't that good? β
Chen Chen raised his head at this time, but saw that there were four horror movies in AVI format on the computer......
β¦β¦
In the interrogation room, Chen Chen was sitting on a chair, and suddenly, a young woman in an OL costume walked in from outside the door, she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and strode in with her swaying steps, and the smooth marble floor suddenly made a snapping sound.
Chen Chen turned his head to look, but saw that her eyes were blood-red......
[I see you!] γ
β¦β¦
Large sections of memories surged out of thin air in Chen Chen's mind, and these memories constantly clashed with the original memories, causing Chen Chen to cover his head and let out a heart-rending scream!
Every time those eyes looked at Chen Chen, Chen Chen would have the illusion that he almost wanted to die, but the moment Chen Chen looked away, this feeling disappeared in vain, and it was not until the moment when Chen Chen recalled it all, it was like a flood pouring out of his body!
I remembered it, I remembered it all!
Chen Chen lay on the ground, his hands and feet spasmed uncontrollably, as if only a few seconds had passed, and as if centuries had passed, I don't know how long had passed, when the feeling of almost dying swept over like a wave, Chen Chen slowly came back to his senses......
That feeling was comparable to facing the Basilesk pattern for the first time, if it weren't for the strong willpower enough, Chen Chen would rather die than bear this pain.
"That's, that'...... Antimemes! β
Chen Chen collapsed and sat up, gasping for breath, although he had experienced pain comparable to death, but at this moment, his brain had never been so clear, as if it had been washed by a large clear spring.
"No wonder my memory is wrong, it turns out to be an antimeme!"
Chen Chen gritted his teeth, resisting the pain that was gradually disappearing, and at the same time analyzed in a low voice, "It turns out that the night I was injected with the T virus, I actually had this dream...... 'I see you', this is the name of this antimeme?" β
Chen Chen couldn't help frowning, "However, how did this antimememe find me, could it be ......?"
Chen Chen's pupils suddenly shrank!
At this moment, the quantum computer of the Earth Federation flashed through his mind.
He still remembers that after he rose with the USB flash drive, he also wanted to explore the origin of the USB flash drive, after all, the USB flash drive came from the Shangdu Jiaotong University where he was located, and if you start from the school, it is not difficult to find the source of the USB flash drive.
For this reason, he investigated through Xiao X in many ways, but the origin of the USB flash drive was always like a black hole, and he couldn't dig out even a trace of clues......
However, if you think of the nature of this antimeme, after devouring a person, all traces of this person's existence will disappear, then is it possible that this antimemes actually existed a long time ago?
Following this line of thought, Chen Chen even got an extremely terrifying hypothesis-
If this antimemes existed a long time ago, then isn't it possible that the last USB flash drive holder was swallowed by it?
In other words, Chen Chen's previous USB flash drive holder is not non-existent, he may have also made some major events that affected the world with the USB flash drive, and may even have rewritten the course of world history, the reason why Xiao X can't find clues is because he was also swallowed by antimemes!
This conjecture is not unfounded, because the quantum computer of the Earth Federation is the most favorable evidence!
This thought flashed through Chen Chen's mind, but it made him shudder - if this was the case, then wouldn't it mean that in fact, the moment he got the USB flash drive, this antimemes had already followed him, but it had been latent until certain conditions were met, and it was activated?
"Huh!"
Chen Chen laughed lowly, at this time, the death-like pain had completely faded, and he stood up with some prostration, a gloom flashed in his eyes.
This antimemes are silently devouring the world......
The disappearance of Li Bo is the best proof of this.
Not only Li Bo, but Chen Chen clearly remembered that there were more than 30,000 students in the entire school, but in the interrogation room at that time, the director's memory and the materials found showed that there were only more than 20,000.
It's not that Chen Chen's memory is wrong, but the remaining 10,000 people are actually all swallowed up by antimemes.
And the reason why Chen Chen can still remember the real number and not be disturbed by antimemes is not because he has a special physique, but because he has a realistic memory.
But that's about it.
In the spiritual disaster that broke out throughout the city later, I don't know how many people died at the hands of antimemes, which silently hid itself in the shadow of the curse, devouring life one after another, but no one noticed......
This antimememe is not only devouring this parallel world, but also devouring Chen Chen's dream.
In other words, the target of this antimeme, from beginning to end, was just Chen Chen, and only by devouring this parallel plane that was confused with Chen Chen's dream could Chen Chen be completely devoured......
This would explain why Shen Qi would suddenly appear to save herself when she was about to be killed by the curse, because she had also been possessed by antimemes, and if she was killed by the curse meme in advance, she would have ruined the antimememe's plan to devour her.
Even Zhou Jie's release of the four horror films is probably from this antimemetic, in order to hide himself in the shadow of the spiritual disaster and prevent Chen Chen from detecting it......
It's just that antimemes, a conceptual existence that is closer to the laws of nature, can also have a mind of its own?
A gloom flashed in Chen Chen's eyes, and an even more terrifying conjecture gradually surfaced in his mind-
Perhaps, there is another possibility......
