Chapter 482 483

Not only this place, but all those haunted locations have traces of those people.

Some of them were pounding the mirror, trying to shatter it, some were crushed under the bed, unable to move, some were hanging from the ceiling, their legs kicking around, and so on, like hell.

Qiao Du had heard a joke about Hell before, saying that in ancient times, foreigners came to promote Catholicism and described the tragic scenes of Hell vividly, but when something happened later, these missionaries were caught by the Jinyi Guards and sent to prison, and they learned that the hell recorded in the book was simply heaven on earth.

"Xiao Ai, analyze the identities of these people."

Qiao Du commanded, he knew that most of these people were abnormal victims, because they were dragged into the deep pollution, so ordinary people could not see them under normal circumstances, but they were not completely alienated, so when the two brothers went to explore the spirit, they encountered many strange situations.

"Yes, master."

After less than a minute, Xiao Ai gave the answer.

Qiao Du took a look and realized that something was wrong.

Because these people are not ordinary people who are innocently trapped, but the Chosen One with extraordinary powers.

They appear to be affiliated with a mysterious organization that has been based here for a long time, handling anomalous events and liaising with similar agencies in other countries and regions.

"Isn't this the same as Northern Heavy Industries?"

Qiao Du felt suspicious, so he directly searched the database for the Chosen Organization in charge of this area.

To add insult to injury, the database shows that there is no Chosen One in charge of this area.

"Something is wrong."

Qiao Du thought for a moment and continued to search in the database.

This time, he found that not only this area, but even the place where it was obvious that the Chosen One was in charge of it before had no jurisdiction, and even, when Qiao Du entered names such as He Island Culture and the Waste Capital Group, the database actually prompted that there was no such thing.

"Antimemes?"

Twilight remembered this trait again.

Although it is a bit strange to say that the concept of antimemetics itself does not have antimemetic properties, in the current situation, there is really no way for Qiao Du not to connect the two.

He continued to search the database and typed in the words "Northern Heavy Industries".

[Sorry, the entry you are looking for does not exist]

Immediately, the words popped up in the database.

"Oh no, I'm no longer a non-existent person."

Qiao Dui muttered.

He continued to search and found that not only himself, but also Zhou Mingke, Su Hong, Du Ruo, and Bai Lian were all found in the database.

If it weren't for Qiao Dui's clear self-awareness, then he would definitely start to wonder if everything he had experienced before was a dream.

"Antimemetic properties have eliminated all the Chosen ones, and the Chosen ones have been erased from the public consciousness?"

Twilight pondered, but soon realized that he was aware of the existence himself.

If it is really an anomaly with powerful antimemetic properties, then Qiao Du will definitely have cognitive biases about himself, in short, he will not be able to recognize the existence of himself and others, not to mention that he can't find Zhou Mingke and Su Hong, Qiao Du will directly forget about these people.

Now, however, he can recall these people clearly, and can see the struggling guys in the videos of the two brothers.

Ordinary people can't see it.

This can only mean one thing.

That is, the reason why these people disappeared from the level of public perception is not because of the properties of antimemes, but because they have entered a deeper abyss.

"It's a blow to the Chosen One."

Qiao Dui's brain thought.

"The anomaly somehow made the Chosen all over the world recognize it, and then dragged it deeper into the depths, what is the anomaly so powerful?"

These Chosen ones have been through a hundred battles one by one, and they have seen a lot of winds and waves, and it is impossible to be so easily confused by anomalies, even if one or two are not careful, the other Chosen ones will quickly realize the problem and deal with it in a targeted manner, otherwise those anomalies in the past would have wiped out the human race hundreds of times.

Moreover, the huge arms in the sky, the multi-legged centipedes on the heads of the crowd playing on the TV, and the many strange monsters that Qiao Du could see swimming above the heads of ordinary people when he was browsing the news just now, which were not common in the past.

"Either these anomalies are new to this time, or they're just coming up."

After all, the Chosen ones were all dragged down collectively, and it was very reasonable for Qiao Du to think that there was an anomaly to rise.

Thinking of this, Qiao Du immediately searched for some movies and games made by various Chosen Ones institutions that he had an impression of before.

It turned out that these movies, games, and games were nowhere to be found, and where they should have existed, there were some other works that appeared in the nest of the dove.

"I see."

Qiao Du immediately understood where those monsters came from.

To put it simply, there are many anomalies that have adopted the means of mass cognitive anchoring to reduce their harm, and the means of anchoring are various cultural and entertainment film and television works, which are not only in modern times, in ancient times, those myths and legends themselves were part of the public cognitive anchoring.

And now, as the Chosen One has been dragged into the depths, all the mass cognitive anchors have disappeared with them being erased from the cognition of ordinary people, so that in the past thousands of years of history, those things that have been anchored have lost their original cognitive anchors that pulled them, and thus increased in depth and become more unpredictable.

"It's not the most pressing issue."

As we all know, anomalies can only affect the existence of the corresponding depth, and those monsters in myths and legends have now entered a deeper depth, no matter how powerful they are, they only affect the anomalies in deeper areas.

Of course, many of the Chosen ones can also recognize them, and the fact that these beings become stronger is not a good thing for the Chosen ones, but at least it is not harmful to the public.

The most dangerous are the monsters that have been alienated by the Chosen One.

Because Qiao Du already knew that the nature of the Chosen One would cause them to be recognized by shallow beings even if they were extremely polluted.

And in the long history, not to mention those who actively seek strength and become abnormal Divine Chosen ones, I don't know how many Divine Chosen ones have been polluted and corrupted in order to protect ordinary people over the years, and finally fell into the abyss.

These are anomalies that can actually endanger ordinary people.

Moreover, the public perception anchoring relies on the model of sharing the pollution with everyone, and then the dead carry the pollution and annihilate it, and the new ones share the pollution equally, even so, the overall level of human pollution has gone a lot deeper than in the past, and it is difficult to guarantee that it can continue to be anchored if we start all over again.

"Let me see."

Qiao Du immediately asked Xiao Ai to set the search in the direction of the myths and legends in various places.

A moment later, he saw a message.
