Section 26: Education in the Arctic Ocean
A group of people.
A group of Slavs.
They were trapped in nearby settlements at the time of the memetic phenomenon, and because of their presence. The reincarnations of Team Arctic were able to learn the actual type of meme.
The information is extracted, then analyzed, and the scene of the maximum generation of negative emotions in the heart of the person being excerpted is realized. And once the person being excerpted believes in the hallucination, or pretends to believe it. Then the illusion will become real and generate influence on the person being excerpted according to different scenes.
If you see and immerse yourself in the nightmares of your childhood, you will become as weak as you were a child. Forget the skills and even the energy and attributes that you have acquired as you grow. And if you are frightened by the powerful nightmare, then the nightmare will become a powerful entity that can kill or even destroy the immersed.
The trick of the rule system, the hard cap is basically impossible to pass. But all rules must be subordinated to the stability of reality. The more stable the reality, the more it follows classical physics, and the bizarre memetic phenomena will be covered by the strict order of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and will not be effective at all.
There are two things that determine the stability of reality. First, the change in entropy. Moves such as world shocks or extreme celestial phenomena such as black holes can effectively affect the stability of reality. Second, cognitive biases. In some worlds, there is a mental plane such as 'subspace', which can erode the present world and rewrite the order, but a strong enough mind can forcibly overwrite or even reverse modify the rules rewritten by the subspace erosion.
So, to sum it up. It is this memetic phenomenon that has the most significant effect on individuals with weak minds but strong strength. And the strong people with strong minds or ordinary people with equally weak minds and strength will not be of much effect—of course, relatively small but just as capable of taking away small lives.
"I feel like we're being targeted." Ye Zi's fingertips tapped her jaw, and she watched as the group of Slavic refugees were being guided by Gunnir to resettle down, heal their injuries, rest and feed for food—she had just dispelled the illusions that kept appearing in front of her. And if those illusions maintain the intensity at the beginning, then they may have a lot of foreign appearances.
"This vision, this meme...... Hmm, isn't it really made specifically for us reincarnations? So is there a possibility that we're under attack right now? ”
"I don't think so." Kampavsky said in a serious tone. "If anything, Gunnil would have been the first to jump. And now that he doesn't seem to care, it must just be an accident. ”
"Hey! You two, don't think I can't hear you! Protest came from Gunnil in the distance.
The two of them didn't hear it.
The Slavs who were saved their lives were very grateful to the Arctic and were willing to be used as cattle and horses. But just from talking and comforting these unlucky creatures, the captain of the Arctic Continent team has already obtained the desired reward.
"This teamfight seems a little strange." Kanpawski ...... The overlord said with a somewhat solemn face. "There are a lot of squads who have chosen to go out to save the world, but their actions give me a strange feeling. It always feels like they do things very utilitarianly, maybe that's their main line? ”
"Huh?" Ye Zi was puzzled. "Is it only our main quest to survive for dozens of days. Are we the special ones? ”
"I don't know." Overlord shook his head. "Maybe we'll need to find another reincarnation team to—"
His form suddenly vanished, and in the distance, a building that was about to collapse was casually held up by him and thrown hundreds of meters away. The parents of the children who had almost been hit by the collapsed building looked dazed and their parents immediately went up to hug them, and then they burst into tears, or trembled and turned pale.
A circle of soothing spiritual power fluctuations flowed out of Ye Zi's fingertips, and then the overlord appeared in front of her again.
"—to be able to know if we are a special team. Or ...... Hmm, is it possible that this teamfight is more special than the past? ”
"So you idiot only realize it now!" Gunniel throws a snowball.
The Overlord didn't hide, letting the projectile explode on his head. Anyway, this kind of thing happens from time to time, and if it really comes to a situation that requires immediate preparation, I think Gunnir will take a more formal approach.
No? That's not a big deal.
The rescued refugees watched in amazement as the Arctic group interacted. Some of the younger girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.
"Well, it's quite possible." Ye Zi also nodded solemnly. "But...... It doesn't matter. And I remember that the main god would always put the plot clues very close to us. But I don't seem to be making much progress at the moment? ”
After nodding, she tilted her head in the same seriousness, and her mental power fluctuations swept in all directions.
"And there are no special circumstances within about 200 kilometers in the vicinity. Yes...... Three hundred and seventy-one kilometers to the west, it seems that strange giant beasts are attacking the town. But it seems to be about to be ...... by the local Orthodox soon. Hey, why is the Slavic church here Christian? Well, in short, it will be solved by the people of the Church who can shine the Holy Light. I used my mental strength to help them a little. Do you want to go over and help? ”
"Good idea." Overlord agreed. "Let's just bring these refugees over. I just asked, and they don't really want to continue living in a remote area away from the big cities...... Speaking of which, a child just asked me what kind of god I was, did he want to worship me? Ha ha. ”
"I'm not a god." Ye Zi nodded. "I'm just a shrine maiden."
She tilted her head and looked with the Overlord at some open place. And on the sidelines, comforting the refugees and not lightly tired - not lightly mentally tired Gunnir also appeared silently beside them, incidentally putting all the other team members who were slightly less powerful but maintaining order for the refugees under the cover of spells.
"But there are people who think they are gods." A thin, familiar figure appears at the end of the vision of the Reincarnation of the Arctic Continent. He has a familiar appearance to several people in the Arctic Ocean. "And force everyone to worship him."
It's Nyos.
He was wearing a still decent dress, but there was a bit of wind and frost on his body. His eyes seemed to be bloodshot from exertion, but beyond the exhaustion there was joy and anticipation.
"Long time no see, folks of the Arctic team. We've fought together before, and this time, the world desperately needs your strength. ”
"You look like an insurance seller." Ye Zi cast a puzzled look. The movements are pompous and the tone is sharpened. And as soon as we met, they would make small reports to other people in front of us. I've heard that this is called a pull comparison in China. ”
The corners of Nyos' eyes jumped.
"It's just to underscore the seriousness of the situation. And what I say is not false. He looked sincere. Before you arrived, seven teams of reincarnators had descended and three had been confirmed to be destroyed. The remaining four teams, including our Nanyan, formed the Salvation Alliance, hoping to maintain the world by resisting various crises. But we were betrayed - Ximei and Sandbank, two squads with a history of breeding and raiding their headquarters while the main force of the Alliance's East China Sea Team was mobilized, and a disaster with more than a billion casualties broke out as a result. ”
He explained the current situation in short language, and his tone was compassionate, and it was natural to be detailed. After all, the one-sided truth is still the truth.
"We have suffered heavy losses. And the losses are even heavier on the innocents of this land. The Sandbanks and the West Americans controlled almost all of continental Europe and Central Asia, and established an alliance of order that required all inhabitants to worship them and worship them as gods. Their reign of darkness will be a misery for all innocents, and we, the Salvation Alliance, need new strength and guidance. ”
Neos held out his hand, his tone sincere and emotional. His upper body leaned forward slightly and his knees bent slightly, placing himself in a relatively low position without doubt.
"I know you, all of you in the Arctic. You have kindness and love for the world. And the world today needs a force like you to guide you...... Join us, all the resources of the Salvation Alliance are at your disposal, whether it is our Nanyan or the East China Sea, which is recuperating and recuperating, they will be completely under the guidance of the North Ice. ”
"He seems to be telling the truth." Ye Zi tilted his head slightly and said. "I just contacted Xiao Honglu of the East China Sea team, and he said that Neos can represent the Salvation Alliance with full powers, and he also sent a charter."
Nyos's complexion did not change. But the tide of his heart in his heart fluttered slightly.
Something went wrong. The analysis of the Arctic Ice's psychological model has gone awry. According to his original estimate, as long as he finds Beibing as soon as possible and shows his sincerity, then the three Beibing will give priority to listening to their opinions and even be guided by their own words. They wouldn't have talked to themselves at the same time to contact the spiritual power of the East China Sea team, because this didn't match the 'simplicity' that Beibing had always shown!
Something was wrong - something, something was wrong.
But now he can only bite the bullet down—
"All charters are negotiable......"
"Well, I know about that." The overlord compared his jaw. "With the ballot system, whoever has the big fist will listen to whomever he says. It feels like this organization is not so much the Salvation League as the Reincarnation Squad United Nations. ”
"It's all about maximizing the power of the alliance and avoiding infighting—"
"But I don't see respect." The Overlord raised his hand and stopped him. "This alliance has inequality written in its bones. It is written that the weak should obey the strong. You have made this order, order for the sake of order. And the most fundamental point ......"
Overlord spread his hands.
"Where is your 'salvation'?"
"And you're also infighting." Ye Zi made up for it.
Neos subconsciously looked at Gunnier, who in his model was the most sensible and 'utilitarian' of the Arctic team. He also has influence, and he shouldn't be able to give up this reincarnation power at his fingertips......
But Gunnil didn't do anything – no, Gunnil had even left to arrange the relocation of the refugees. It's as if Neos and the resources and power brought by Neos are not worth a few more glances from him!
And the shadow of the overlord has already covered his height.
A broad hand fell on his shoulder.
"Nyos." The Overlord looked down at him. "You're too utilitarian."
"The alliance you have created is nothing but an alliance to curry favor with the powerful. Put all the people under one flag, and then you can say hello, hello, hello, everyone. Well, you've seen Middle-earth, and you know that they fought to the last minute to save the world of Arda. That's why you formed this alliance to curry favor with them, and you are not so much a savior as a sycophant, succumbing to the mighty forces. ”
"That's why you've been betrayed." Ye Zi's spiritual power fluctuations pointed to the west. "Ah...... I've seen Sandbar's psychic power, and she's not going to fight me directly. And the people under the sandbar are actually not living very badly, although they have to worship the gods, but I see that all the monsters and memetic phenomena that have descended on the sandbar area are well blocked. ”
"Perhaps, in the sandbanks and the West Americans, you are the ones who betrayed. When the main purpose of an alliance is actually structured around the likes and dislikes of a strong man, currying favor with the strong is more important than saving the world. I'm guessing you've got a flaw, no, you don't think it's a flaw—
- After all, Sandbar and Ximei were not members of this salvation alliance before, so they must have been walking on the road to saving the world and made a lot of achievements. But from some of your behaviors, they realize that even if they really save the world, they may not be able to save their own lives. ”
"Nyos." The Overlord looked at him earnestly. "We've fought side by side, and I hope you understand what you really need. Whether it's saving the world or being the enemy of the world. At the very least—"
The clouds in the sky dispersed, and the warm sunlight fell on the interlocutors.
"Do not betray your own true desires."
The air froze for a moment.
The smile on Nyos' face twisted and tore, and his thin body trembled as if it were about to collapse.
From his throat, he spat out questioning words like a dream.
"But if not, how can we survive this battlefield with the strength of the Middle-earth team......
"Does that matter?" The overlord's hand left him, and the eyes of the Arctic captain were full of disappointment. "Is it true that only being alive is the most important thing to you?"
"There are only two kinds of people in this world: the strong and the weak. But in this world, it's not just dominance and obedience - the Middle-earth team is strong, so what? Do we need to obey them? We want to help the weak, why should we care what others think? Helping others has nothing to do with strength from beginning to end, and it's too utilitarian and not good at all. ”
"That's it, Nyos." Overlord waved his hand. "The Arctic Team will not join your flattering organization, and the Arctic Team will not attack you or the Order Alliance. We also don't intend to save the world, we just don't want to see weak innocents die before our eyes. We welcome those who are willing to come with us, and those who are not willing to follow him. As for whether the Arctic ice will be destroyed because of this, I don't think it matters. ”
"Go, Neos, go where you ought to be, and don't fail your truest wishes."
He turned around and did what he had to do. Behind him, Nyos's shoulders trembled and his complexion distorted.

Event Log –
10 November, 10:22 a.m., in Siberia.
Although due to unexpected astronomical phenomena, the memetic effect was destroyed and the stellar behemoth that was supposed to descend was also delayed. But the Arctic and the Alliance for Salvation after the advent clearly have different morals. The captain of the North Ice rejected Nanyan and reprimanded him. And for Neos, who thinks highly of himself, it is undoubtedly a complete trampling on his own dignity.
Then, the chances of the Salvation Alliance's recovery collapsed completely. And Neos, whose dignity was trampled on, was annoyed and decided to ......
[Interference: November 10, 10:22:33.] Latitude 61 degrees 52 minutes north, longitude 107 degrees 33 minutes east. The density of regional clouds has decreased by 31 per cent, the density of the ozone layer has increased by 17 per cent, and the surface humidity has increased by 6 per cent. In this way, the light radiation formed can stimulate the cell population of carbon-based organisms, producing the right ratio of dopamine and melatonin to achieve a calming and peaceful effect. 】
In the Celestial Teams, the ink on the tip of Luo Wei's pen suddenly ran out. And in front of her, the line of the world that was not chosen and recorded by her naturally extended. The most suitable time has passed, and it is impossible to reap the benefits here if you continue to invest resources!
She was stunned for a moment.
"The road map of the law of cause and effect obviously does not have the ability to change people's hearts...... You can still use it like this. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Interesting, play with you." Another pen fell into her hand, and the ink was filled.
And at the same moment, in the Resident Evil world of Northern Siberia.
Neos calmed down.
In an instant, it seemed as if some kind of burden had suddenly disappeared from him.
“…… What did I do. He shook his head with a wry smile and strode towards a few people from the Northern Ice Team.
"Wait for me!" He shouted loudly, completely inconsistent with the behavior of a wise man.
