My consciousness drifted away, and in the chaos it seemed to leave my body and drift outward.

Vague thoughts seemed to see something, and the center of the red and white hall of the Wisdom looked at the instrument—and "I" slowly walked out of it—

Hey, who am I?

"What's going on?" The demon looked at the white-robed intelligent machine. "Broken? It stands to reason that he should have 'disappeared' in our universe. ”

"It's not broken." The white-robed intelligent machine also looked at it: "Could it be that there is something wrong with your theory?" ”

"That can't be." The demon shook his head: "Something must be wrong." ”

"Actually, it's very simple."

I looked at the "me" from a third perspective and said, "There is nothing wrong with your theory, but I am special." I am not only a projection of other worlds, but also a native life of this world. ”

"How can a person live in two worlds at the same time...... "Halfway through the words, as if he thought of something, he suddenly realized: "So...... You are a pre-cataclysmic human, at the time of the cataclysm...... Went to another world, and then projected it again not long ago? ”

I listened to their conversation in a daze—it turned out that I was ...... A traverser who has crossed twice?

That's why I'm very special......

"Through the effect of this device, I am equivalent to a normal sanity who has been vaccinated, and the part of "me" that belongs to the projection will return to his world normally. This "me" looks completely different from me, and there is a sense of ...... in every gesture Assertive. "But because 'I' am a special being, I can't say what other effects will be produced. But that has nothing to do with me now. ”

"Uh-huh......" the demon hummed in an inexplicable voice, "You seem to know a lot." I'm a little curious about who you were before the Cataclysm. ”

"Huh." The "I" laughed lightly, "Actually, I ......"

Suddenly, he stopped talking and suddenly looked up at my place.

I was shocked that he ...... Can you see me?

"It turned out to be the Miaoyin Bird ......." Shaoqing shrugged his shoulders and looked away.

Wonderful sound bird? My consciousness was in a trance, and it was as if I saw the strange bird in front of me. The image of the bird flickered, and I don't know how long it took, but a pair of large hands shook in front of my eyes, pulling me back from the illusion to reality.

The doctor with a white mask on the side saw that I was relieved and smiled, "How does it feel to choose?" ”

"Much better." I remembered the past, and memories flooded back, but I felt a strange sense of familiarity. "Thank you very much."

It turned out that when I accessed the interactive entertainment network not long ago, the port was attacked by a new virus, and my consciousness was hallucinated, and with the help of the intelligent housekeeper, the medical institution took me away from my home and treated me in the hospital, and I just finished cleaning up the new meme virus.

When I walked out of the medical institution, I was a little confused, I raised my head and looked at the gray sky above my head, and the memories of the previous hallucinations came to my heart little by little.

Internet viruses, everyone knows what is going on. Memetic viruses are nothing new. To put it simply, a memetic virus is a vicious program that directly invades the user's consciousness through the Internet, which may distort cognition and even memory.

However, thanks to advanced modern medicine, this injury can be cured and is not permanent.

After detecting that a user is suspected of being infected with the virus, the personal butler will alert the user and call the relevant medical institution for treatment.

My personal butler terminal hovered in my hand at some point, displaying the bill.

[USER: TAQ3***...***H208]

【......】

[New hallucinogenic memetic virus (to be named) - completed]

[Blank Cleansing Memetic Virus - Completed]

[Fees have been deducted from the quota for the current quarter]

【For more details, please visit...) View】

Well? I blinked.

Looks like I'm in the middle of a new meme virus and then another meme?

I quickly found a familiar node in my memory: the cicada.

Some monks may have too deep attachments in the process of practice, and it is easy to get mad, and the dream cicada can get rid of distracting thoughts by swallowing the dreams formed by the aggregation of these obsessions.

I remember that there were some circles on the Internet who liked to use some meme viruses to help them sleep or create some specific thinking environment.

The hallucinations created by the new memetic virus appear to act like a Don Quixote filter, distorting everything the infected sees and hears into its counterparts.

"......" I felt a bad feeling in my heart: "I won't do something bad during this time, right?" ”

The time I spent in the hallucination...... It seems that you have participated in a lot of "big events"?

I checked the history through the personal butler, and I didn't seem to find anything special.

“...... Let's go home first. ”

I patted the crystal black personal butler terminal and turned on the pathfinding mode.

The streets were empty, and there were no people. Because of the prevalence of minimalism in the field of architecture at the beginning of the century, the appearance of most buildings looks very monotonous and solid, and admiring the street scene on any street is like looking at abstract paintings with inexplicable rhythms.

Occasionally, there will be some advertising display signs on it, but it will not spoil the overall inexplicable beauty.

I saw a familiar red in one of them—

It looks like an entertainment guild advertisement called Crimson Phantom, which has many celebrity influencers. It seems to be very hot lately, and there are signs of breaking the circle.

But it seems that there was some negative news not long ago? I don't really pay attention to these things.

After walking for a planetary day, I returned home, and the long-lost energy-saving lamps were lit up in the deserted home. Choose a walking ...... It's not that I don't have transportation, it's just that I need some time to sort through the mess of thoughts that I've just shaken off the hallucinations.

After a brief clean-up for a while, I connected to the interactive entertainment network. The opening screen is a big "community banned", which scared me.

When I came to my senses, I realized that this was a strange community network that I had entered in a hallucination, and I didn't know what it was. No wonder the personal butler can't find the abnormal login history, it turns out that the community has been banned and the relevant records have been removed.

I switched back to my old social network, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Deserted, but peaceful.

Other community networks are indeed lively, but where there are more people, there is more trouble, anti-crossing, verbal attacks, etc. are the most common, and memetic viruses and intrusive marketing are also common.

These troubles are too difficult to deal with, and in most cases, they will only be immediately sanctioned if they are accidentally attacked by the community management.

It's a somewhat familiar experience.

While reminiscing about the novelty of the hallucination, I browsed through some of the "old news" that happened in my absence.

At this moment, an invitation popped up in front of me.

[Your friend [Hitomi] invites you to join the [Gomoku] game]

[Yes / No]

I smiled and agreed.

............
