The Cthulhu Mythos, which was the twentieth century was invented by the American novelist and poet Howard Mythos. Philip. Lovecraft's weird novel system. In a nutshell, it depicts the horrors of the universe and the evil gods that humans are completely unable to resist and go completely crazy the moment they see them.

Chaos, Chaos ......

And now, one such guy has come to the real world?

At this point, the seriousness of the matter was clearly apparent, and at the same time that the fear of just having a name literally spread through the venue, several dignitaries of the government and the military had already understood why they were also here: a virus that could be spread through the Internet to infect real people. Strictly speaking, this may have reached the level of notifying the president directly, but the most crucial step must be clarified.

“…… Virus, what is the effect of the virus? The representative of the military asked with great seriousness.

"It's a strange situation, and I'm not sure yet." Susan frowned for the first time, and she said with some uncertainty, "After discovering the abnormality of the brain waves, I took my son to the research institute for a comprehensive examination for the sake of safety, and the results found this abnormal cell similar to a deformed one in our body...... It is like a cancer cell, but it is a solid, indefinite tissue, and it spreads throughout the body from the beginning, and continues to divide and multiply. However, perhaps because of the short duration of the infection, none of the symptoms of conventional cancer patients are shown.

As for the aforementioned method of forwarding the file transfer curse, it may only be a symptom rather than a cure. At the time of my son's brain wave test, he was back to normal. However, these cells in the body have not disappeared, but seem to be in a temporary latent stage, accompanying other cells without dividing or growing. But if my prediction is correct. They will be reactivated at some point. ”

"In other words, it is still impossible to determine the actual harmfulness of the virus?" The representative of the military frowned.

"Yes, that's true, but—" Susan seemed to see some bad signs, and she began to explain with great effort, "but this must not be left unattended! Although the effect of this virus is not yet known, if it continues to spread, even if it is only a nightmare, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable! ”

There was a sigh. A government official stood up.

"I understand your thoughts, but you also need to understand our difficulties." He took a deep breath and asked in a different way. "It is absolutely impossible to directly block the Internet and cut off the spread of the virus at the root, and you should be able to understand that it is impossible for the United States to shut down the Internet because of a virus that may be harmless. In cases where there are only nightmares, and no actual harm is reported. All we can do is issue a notice to "don't do it". But this only inspires rebellion and makes them want to experience it for themselves, and not only will it not stop the spread of the virus, but it will further promote it. ”

"But if you exaggerate the seriousness of the situation, such as getting cancer if you get infected, that's even more of a bad idea.

Perhaps this can effectively curb the spread of the virus, but what to do with people who have already been infected? That would be a huge and incomparably serious problem. You should be well aware of how much evil will erupt in people's hearts when disaster strikes, and human beings themselves are often more terrifying than natural disasters. If you really want to solve the problem, it's best to find out the actual harm of the virus first......"

"In other words, you have to wait until the disaster strikes before you go to the rescue?" Susan gritted her teeth.

"It's a pity. But it's true. The government person took a deep breath and said firmly with gritted teeth, "Not only can we not issue an alarm, but everyone present needs to keep it secret, and we must not let the masses further intensify the problem because of panic......

"In the meantime, let's work hard to produce results!"

In this regard, due to various political, economic and other reasons, this extremely critical matter has come to an end for the time being.

As the original infected Carl and Ryan were pulled to do a bunch of examinations, and in the end, they didn't get a chance to leave because of various connections, and then the infected of different ages, genders, and occupations became their partners one after another, and under the hard work of Susan, who was also infected, the truth of the iceberg gradually surfaced, but the people involved in the investigation only felt that the more they studied, the heavier the fear in their hearts became.

After all, the spread of the virus was not controlled, because another rumor that was not a rumor appeared.

"As long as you download the virus program and send it to others by e-mail, etc., the curse will be transferred from you, so that you will no longer be plagued by nightmares."

When this sentence appeared on a forum, the virus that had been banned spread rapidly again, no one wants to be haunted by nightmares and hallucinations all the time, that sooner or later they will be forced to have a mental breakdown until they go crazy, and people who have been captured by fear can't wait to try it after seeing this prompt.

I sent it to you, and my curse was lifted, and you can send it to someone else, and in the end we can all be safe and sound, right?

Unbeknownst to him, lifting the "curse" did not eliminate the virus, but only temporarily curbed its activity, and the virus, which had been circulating for only one night and infected about tens of thousands of people, spread to the entire society in an instant.

Carl, Ryan, Susan, and her family, as well as all those who watched the video, were infected with the virus called Chaos, which was the carrier of the virus, and it was unknown what they would do, let alone whether it was directly related to future history or human evolution. At the same time, the few who knew the inside story fell into despair faster than the others.

After about a week, the effects of the virus have already been discovered.

It is not the same as traditional cancer, because of the unlimited and endless proliferation, the nutrients in the patient's body are consumed in large quantities, and eventually the structure and function of tissues and organs are destroyed, causing necrosis and hemorrhage combined with infection, and the patient eventually dies due to organ failure.

It is almost impossible to tell whether it is a gift from the gods or a poison from the devil.

First, it can be transmitted through various routes, and can infect almost any living thing that has life energy. Not only can it be transmitted by watching videos, but it can also be infected from an unscientific and spiritual level due to contact with an infected person, and it is not limited to humans but also to various animals.

Second, it is not destroying the host that resides, but replacing and renewing the original normal cells, and accelerating the body's metabolism. The overall physical fitness of the infected person is not decreasing but improving, as if it is actively promoting "evolution", but because the physical body cannot keep up with this evolutionary process, the cells that have been eliminated by the survival of the fittest accumulate on the body surface and appear as ominous abnormal dark spots, and the accumulated tissues on the skin of people with severe symptoms even begin to die and fester......

Third, last and most serious. When the infection enters the second stage, which is called the virus and invades the nervous system, the nightmare that would have been safe and sound as soon as you wake up becomes real - the damage suffered in what was originally an illusory dream is reflected in the real body.

In addition, the limit of safety that can be guaranteed by the active suppression caused by the "lifting of the curse" has finally been seen.

On the night of the seventh day, Susan's son woke up from his dream with a terrible scream, and when the maid heard the sound of his father slamming open the door and rushing into his room, the boy lying on the bed seemed to have been torn apart by countless monsters, and turned into pieces of flesh that could not be put together at all, and together with countless blood, the whole room was turned into a cruel hell...... (To be continued......)
