Two years later, a sudden illness appeared on the American continent.

Symptoms: Schizophrenic type, the "patient" seems to suddenly have another consciousness of himself, a false and inexplicable self-enclosed state of reality, amnesia. Later on, they have their own similar tasks in their minds, causing their various behaviors to be called "tasks".

The disease appears out of nowhere, without warning, without a channel of transmission.

The upfront maintainers tried to control that while studying the patient, the patient would instantly enter an unconscious dormant state, but the number of "patients" increased, and even spread to government officials. The whole country is out of control.

What is even more frightening is that, with the increasing incidence and the hidden nature of the disease, the so-called world between the "patients" seems to have the characteristics of connecting and influencing each other.

As time went on, the whole country went into paralysis and almost isolation from the outside world, and the only obvious symptom was that "they" seemed to think that they were playing a game, although there was no outbreak of the disaster that would affect other countries, and this potential threat was undoubtedly the most worrying outcome.

A small number of them are not "infected", and the "patients" have their own independent systems, and for those impoverished and uninfected who cannot immigrate, they can only survive by obeying or disguising themselves as "their own people". They refer to other uninfected individuals as "self-aware virtual humans".

The world is divided into two worlds, one is our normal people, and the other is the American patients who are controlled by their "patients" after amnesia.

More information has been blocked, and no one has cared about the Americas since the ban, and the agents sent to the Americas by various countries have also gone and never returned, without any information, the only thing that can prove it is that they can get in, but they may not be able to come out.

Whether "they" set up their own army, or occupy military bases, seems to be the greatest threat to anyone.

Defenders kept the panic secret and claimed to have been infected.

However, the changes did not stop, and the other continents received foreign threats, and the Americas issued warnings to all continents on the pretext of borrowing territory.

Year 2069.

A research institute in Asia.

"This thing isn't sick at all, okay, I've seen it a few times and it doesn't look like a normal psychosis at all, it may be a mutation." The freckled Chinese student scratched his yellow hair and said something to the Chinese guy in front of him.

"But we haven't had this kind of situation in history, just like there was no cancer at all, and then it wasn't completely eradicated as a disease, maybe it was a new form of virus." I pushed my black-rimmed glasses. Reasoned with him: "If it's evolution, why can't you communicate with us normally, I feel that this disease directly affects the mind." ”

"Alas, I can't tell you clearly, you newcomer go and see the information first, get off work, see you tomorrow." Carl pointed to the door with a disgusted expression: "Don't forget to lock the door!" ”

Wang Chen, a master's degree student in neurology, recently dragged his uncle's relationship into the research institute, which is the research institute that specializes in this kind of change, although it is only a branch, but the responsibility is not small at all, no way, everyone is responsible for the biggest disaster in history, besides, the salary is not low, hehehe, I heard that the annual salary is several digits.

I fumbled around with my papers, thinking about something to eat tonight, and walked out of the institute.

"Erha? I fell asleep again, and you were a security guard, and you couldn't find the institute if you lost it! I punched Erha the shoulder.

Erha sighed slowly, "What time does it take to get off work, and labor and management have dreamed of chicken legs"

"Just you, you know how to eat every day, your muscles are definitely eaten and not trained!"

Erha stretched his waist and said to the brother next to him: "Brother falls, I'm off work, you can do it yourself!" "Rush this sentence" look at it? I don't know how many comrades have helped him on duty, and whoever asked him to train when he was a soldier had to be intimidated.

"It's okay, go Brother Wan, didn't you introduce this job." This sycophant, if the eyes can kill, I estimate that Erha has died tens of thousands of times.

Erha, formerly known as Wang Wanjun, my brother who grew up bare-assed, he went to serve as a soldier when I was in school, and I continued to take the graduate school exam that I was interested in, and later dragged my relationship here. The first is to accompany me, and second, the salary is not low. Well, the second is that the salary is not low. It must be so.

We walked out of the building, and at the end of the day, the sky was full of flying cars and sky light rails whistling by, and the capsule vacuum track No. 38 had arrived, and we got on the capsule car to go home.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at the exit of the station, the pedestrians on the road were expressionless, more helpless, in such a overwhelmed era, coupled with the threat of foreign countries, people are more worried.

I asked Erha, "What do you think of today's news?" I asked, and I knew I was just talking about it, because we'd talked about it dozens of times.

"I don't think they're sick."

"Oh? Why do you say that, haven't you always said that absolute forcing is mental illness? ”

"Uh...... Isn't it influenced by you, don't think about things from one angle, hehe, I'm just talking about it. ”

I then asked, "Since it's not illness, what do you think?" ”

"Well, it's not a disease anyway, how do I know what it is? Collective mutation? Collective convulsions? Time travel? People of the future? Come and save us? ”

"You're a ghost in the future, you've read too many science fiction novels, hurry up and eat, it's all!"

With a smile, we walked into the nearest fast food restaurant together.

In the middle of the meal, the monitor in front of the restaurant played the latest boring news, more about the "mutation" type of false reports, boring to watch something, and suddenly scrolled out of a striking news. No, the news that caught my attention, a certain country decided to secretly send people to the Americas in response to the recent hacking incident, and took the initiative to attack.

What's going on? It didn't stop for a while because there was no return, so why do you still want to send it? Then the information about the country flashed by.

I memorized a few messages, said goodbye to Erha, hurried home, and called my uncle to ask about the situation. My uncle is the deputy director of the military affairs office, and if the domestic information is not encrypted, he will tell me silently, and he is not ambiguous about me, after all, he only has a big nephew like me.

My uncle knew that I was interested in this matter, but hoped that I wouldn't take it too seriously after all, it was not something that our juniors could handle, so he said a few words to me casually: "Oh, I just received the news today, there are agents in that country who seem to understand their way of life and attitude towards things, and they can get in to understand the situation after simple training, and I don't know the specifics." I heard that there are not many people who are going, and they are recruiting, why are you asking this? ”

I said, "It's okay to read the news, just ask." The uncle replied: "Don't fool around, you can't come back if you go, don't mess around because the newcomer wants to win glory." "It's okay, I know, you're busy!" Hung up the phone in a hurry.

How is it possible, am I trying to win the glory of that kind of person, or is it a matter of life, but ask Erha first.

Erha is also a person who can't sit still: "It's really fake, no one goes." I'm all wasted when I sleep at work, let's go and have a look? ”

"I'm special, it's so easy to make money, don't you have to change? Can you live in peace? ”

"No, listen to me, if you come back, you see, there is still a shortage of money? Isn't it a matter of time before you become a director every minute? Besides, it's not that you don't know that people have said that no conflict doesn't hurt people, what are you afraid of? "Erha's adventurous spirit almost fooled me.

I said, "Well, let's talk about it tomorrow, and see how it goes." It's hanging. ”

I hung up the phone and fell asleep in a daze.
