Yandu Old Town, inside the Century Department Store.
After Siegfried was ready to fight, Elizabeth muttered to herself and used her extraordinary abilities to carefully check the status of the shop assistant.
"The physiological state is quite normal, and the life force is quite stable. There is no need to consider the transfer of life force for the time being..."
"Ah? Download the link and take a look? Let me take a look..."
"The deep spiritual connection does not show any self-awareness reaction. It is like entering a deep sleep state, leaving only the most basic instinctive reaction."
"I also know that they should be affected by some kind of object with extraordinary power, but I can't find the source now..."
"Look at your phone? It makes me feel better..."
Elizabeth's voice stopped abruptly when she turned her gaze to the mobile phone in the hands of the clerk. Siegfried, who was standing aside, noticed that Elizabeth seemed to be in the same state as the clerk.
His eyes were dull and he stared at the phone screen with a dull expression.
The entire floor suddenly fell into an eerie silence, except for the message notifications that would ring from time to time on the mobile phones of passers-by outside the store.
Just when Phineas was hesitating whether to go over and pull Elizabeth away, the latter's voice started up again after being offline for a few seconds.
"Some kind of extraordinary power uses the Internet as the basis for communication, social software as the springboard for diffusion, and mobile phones as the final receiving terminal to affect these people through the screen." Elizabeth, who should have been unconscious like a store clerk, frowned, and her neck was a little stiff. He paused for a moment and turned his eyes away from the clerk's mobile phone screen, and made a judgment like a normal person, "Even if you just glance at it, your consciousness will fall into a state of almost deep sleep, and your body will fall into a state of deep sleep." A state similar to sleepwalking, completely left to instinct and inertia to run on its own..."
"It feels like it's very contagious..."
Listening to Elizabeth's judgment, Siegfried couldn't help but blurted out: "Then why are you not affected?"
"Because I have a split personality!" Elizabeth suddenly grinned happily, pointing her finger at her head, "Now I still have a bunch of absorbed personalities that have not been fully integrated in my mind, and one personality consciousness has sunk in. A personality consciousness immediately took over to control the body and turn the head. I worked with them to get rid of the influence, and then reviewed what happened before, and worked together to come to a conclusion quickly. "
At the end, the girl scratched her head and added with an embarrassed smile: "I'm not very smart, but if we think about the problem together, we can easily get the answer..."
"Can such an operation be possible?" Siegfried was speechless.
Elizabeth was talking to herself, and was suddenly startled: "Huh? What? You said that this extraordinary power will not only attract consciousness, but also interfere with it to a certain extent... No, it should be predicting the next action? A pop-up on social software The message narrates what is about to happen in advance, but the person who sees the message will lose consciousness..."
"The mobile phone itself does not have any extraordinary power, emmmmmmm, do you mean that what really carries extraordinary power is the data packet sent by a terminal through the network? Then this kind of data packet 'infected' by the extraordinary power passes through the network, designated or Was it the group message that was sent to other terminals and was finally received and seen by someone that caused this situation?"
"Is this kind of thing really possible?" It was obviously her own inference, but Elizabeth, who was talking to herself, still found it unbelievable.
Siegfried quietly watched Elizabeth and her friends in her mind analyze the nature of this extraordinary power throughout the whole process. It was really not that she wanted the edge OB to be used as a personal camera, but that she just couldn't get involved in a conversation at this level. Mouth.
Although the dragon girl has fully understood this era through the common sense and knowledge given by the director's enlightenment, for her who has lived in the wasteland for more than ten years and has not personally experienced the changes in the Internet era, facing this strange The situation is still not open enough.
In the era of abandoned history where Siegfried once lived, before any changes occurred, the brick-shaped mobile phone known as Big Brother had just become a historical term in China. Within two or three years, it was slightly bulky and expensive. It has only been less than a few years since computers have entered a small number of households in China.
The Internet had just entered the domestic public's horizons at that time. Although various industries relying on the Internet had sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, judging from the mainstream trends of the entire society, the use of the Internet in the real society and the impact of various Internet industries on The development of the Internet has not reached the point where it has been popularized into every household and every aspect of life in the form of civilian use today.
At that time, the Internet could only let people watch flash animations and experience online surfing using a certain Penguin social software. Domestic search engines had just begun to burst out with full development potential.
As a result, before human beings had time to develop informatization and digitization, they encountered a mutation in the tree of life, and then the development trend of the entire world was completely distorted. Even though informatization and digitization had already been put into military use, they were never used for various reasons. It can be widely used by civilians, and until the end of human history, it plunged into the ending of abandoned history. Even until the end of the entire human civilization, Siegfried did not enjoy the convenience of the new era.
Therefore, even if he had some enlightenment and gained common sense and corresponding knowledge, Siegfried could not convert it into effective experience, and naturally he could not keep up with Elizabeth's ideas and topics.
"If our guess is correct, we must now find out the source of all this, otherwise the mutation will spread to the whole world sooner or later..." Elizabeth raised her head after muttering to her friends in her mind for a while. , her short black hair began to gradually grow longer, transforming into long blue hair like the ocean and the sky, and her eyes turned into green like gems, "Brother Fei, please watch from the side, I want to connect to the Internet and take a look."
She plans to use her extraordinary ability to link her spiritual consciousness to the Internet, and use the data packets sent to trace back and locate the sender.
Siegfried frowned. Although the dragon girl, who was inexperienced in using the Internet, was not open-minded enough when facing this situation, the relevant knowledge and common sense in her mind told her that this was not an easy matter.
"Is there any danger in doing this?"
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows and showed a bright giggle: "Yes! So if something goes wrong when I connect, please stop me quickly!"
"I will pay close attention to your situation." Siegfried assured Elizabeth with a serious expression.
"Oh, by the way, if you don't know how to stop me, just knock me out! My elder brother taught me this trick, although I haven't used it yet."
"...???" Siegfried suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this silly girl's thinking circuit.
Elizabeth did not talk to Siegfried anymore. She gently pressed her slender hand on the phone of the clerk. Her long blue hair fluttered under the inspiration of the extraordinary power. She began to extend her consciousness and spirit, following the extraordinary power. The created channel escapes into the mobile phone.
…………
When Elizabeth invaded the electronic network world to reversely trace its source, as time passed bit by bit, the extraordinary influence hidden behind the scenes spread through the network continued to expand in scale.
At first, this kind of extraordinary influence can only be affected by mobile phones or computers, and people who happen to be using a specific social software will be affected by the extraordinary power. The judgment of the effect of the influence is only limited to receiving and reading the text received on that social software. and pictures.
But now, as time goes by, when more and more people are affected by it, the abnormal objects adapt to the environment and produce new changes:
In a certain office building, a clerical employee was staring at the computer and typing on the keyboard. As a WeChat dialog box popped up, her fingers that were about to fall suddenly stopped, and her whole person looked blankly as if in a daze. Gazing at the computer screen.
A student girl enjoying her summer vacation with the air conditioner blowing on was bored and refreshing her Weibo. She just saw an interesting Weibo post more than an hour ago, which brought her a lot of joy. She was not satisfied with this level of joy and fun. , so she was trying to find more fun by constantly refreshing Weibo, until a Weibo posted by an ugly user with a ferocious face on his forehead jumped into her eyes...
The young office workers who were squeezing on the crowded bus did not forget to take out their mobile phones during the ten minutes on the way to work to catch up on the novels they had not read last night.
In a beautifully decorated house, the eyes of a child lying on the sofa playing games on a tablet computer gradually lose their luster, and their expressions and eyes become dull and mechanical.
A young girl who was bored and waiting for a long train ride on the subway opened a video website app to watch a TV series, but because she saw a barrage passing by, she quietly became a slave to the abnormal object.
The abnormal objects that are behind the scenes and continue to exert extraordinary influence on the outside world through the network are also growing rapidly through the power of the network itself. It, or should we say it, not only spreads its influence through the convenience of the Internet, but also expands and redefines the scope of influence of memes through the Internet, from the initial social chat software to games, and further expands to other Social software even spreads the memetic influence to other programs that are connected to the Internet and can spread information!
He is growing! And he is adjusting his own way of spreading memes, trying to infect more people through evolution and change!
And as he grows and his scope of influence expands, an extraordinary event that starts from the entire world, from the bottom areas, from the civilians, is also pulling the entire world from bottom to top into a death-like silence bit by bit!
