Dark area.
The sky is overcast with clouds, modern scene.
The two figures were hiding on the rooftop of a high-rise building, and a large number of humans gathered on the streets below.
"Lin An...I want to eat that..."
Shrinking in her arms, Mo Ling pointed excitedly at a crystal skull on the ground surrounded by a large crowd, her eyes full of longing.
Tilting his head.
She could feel that the skull placed in the center of the altar contained a large amount of essence of death.
Unlike the death energy in the strange thing, this essence of death energy does not seem to need to be digested.
In her perception, the skull filled with dark purple energy slurry was like sucking jelly, making people want to take a sip.
Lin An glanced at the little Mo Ling under him, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
After coming out of the Faceless Man area, he accelerated all the way with Mo Ling and broke through three areas.
It’s not that I don’t want to solve a few incidents to see if I can get some good stuff.
However, the subsequent events encountered were almost unsolvable.
A supernatural event area, set in the 1980s.
When Lin An saw the "Seven Deadly Sins" that were 100 meters high and composed of a large number of twisted faces, he decisively chose to run away.
The undead that swallowed half the city must have been triggered by someone in advance.
Maybe it was Yuan Feng who escaped, or maybe it was the awakened person who accidentally entered here before.
One arcane torrent could only create a pit, and even he had no way to fight against this monster.
Lin An has also seen this kind of supernatural events in the information of Laoshan Safety Zone.
The Seven Deadly Sins incident is not terrifying, but it is difficult to deal with. It takes a lot of time to find the seven dead people and "reform" them respectively.
Once the seven deadly sins are gathered together, the undead body that is born is almost unsolvable.
Fortunately, the damn spirit is slow and has a single attack method. As long as it doesn't get close to or touch some strange things, it will be fine.
Therefore, when most of the awakened people encountered them, they would pack some food and run away in the Seven Deadly Sins area.
After realizing that Yuanfeng might be in front of him, Lin An became more vigilant.
The other two are the witchcraft curse and the human-faced insect valley.
According to the records, the former can obtain artifacts with enhanced attributes, but at the cost of being parasitized by Gu insects.
The latter is a special event, and the number of monsters is so large that it makes your scalp numb. Based on a simple judgment, the Human-Faced Insect Valley should be suitable for a small number of summoning awakeners.
The two events didn't help him very much, so he simply rushed through and left it as a mark to come back later.
But right now, the fifth area, the memetic event [Origin of Humanity], actually piqued his interest.
There is no record of this type of meme, and it seems to be randomly refreshed.
He sensed it too.
There is not only death energy in the skull, but also pure spiritual energy.
Under the coarse filter perception, it is at least no less than 10 points.
10 points of psionic power... This is almost half of his psionic point reserve.
If you get it, you can strengthen your strength by 50%. How can he not be tempted by this?
However, the situation here is a bit troublesome...
Lin An has been observing for half an hour, but has not dared to take action.
Think back to half an hour ago.
As early as when he entered here, he and Mo Ling appeared in a cafe.
Just as he was about to take action and investigate, he saw a man who looked like a homeless man, stumbled open the door and broke in.
"I'm telling you... a secret!"
With a low growl, the homeless man rushed in, drool dripping from the corners of his mouth, and held down the nearest woman with his eyes feverishly.
Regardless of the woman's panicked resistance.
I saw his dirty hands pressing on the woman's shoulders, as if forcing him, he put his mouth to the woman's ear and whispered.
In just a few seconds.
Such an action naturally aroused the white-collar workers in the cafe to be surprised.
Before the woman could resist and call the security guard loudly, she froze in her seat as if she had heard some incredible secret.
His head was lowered and his body was shaking, as if he knew the most incredible thing in the world.
After a moment, the woman stood up suddenly, with eyes as fanatical as a tramp's, almost pious, and quickly rushed to the other person's side.
And the same words were whispered in his mouth.
"I...tell you a secret!"
Such a strange scene naturally aroused Lin An's vigilance.
A few seconds later.
When the woman ran to a white-collar man in a suit, he whispered something in his ear while the man was panicking.
Meme proliferation begins.
Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes sixteen.
After Lin An realized something was wrong, he hugged Mo Ling and rushed out of the cafe.
As he rushed out, an infected person, a man in a suit, tried to stop him.
When Lin An decisively used Kane's hand to use a simulated arcane attack, although the opponent was instantly dissolved into a puddle of minced meat, the puddle of minced meat quickly pieced together a human form.
"I'll tell you a secret!"
The man was resurrected from the dead, but his lower body was still a puddle of debris. His mouth was open to the limit, and he was frantically trying to grab his feet.
The fanaticism in those eyes made one's scalp numb.
After kicking the opponent into the air with one kick, Lin An was shocked and escaped from the group of infected people.
Within ten minutes, the entire street was filled with "infected people" running wildly. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone grabbed passers-by with fanatical faces and kept repeating the whisper.
Like a demon with magical powers, every human being who hears the secret is converted into an infected person and serves as a carrier for spreading memes.
...
"Lin An, what secret do you think they are talking about..."
In his arms, Mo Ling asked curiously in a low voice.
All the people on the street have been infected. After missing the target of transmission, these humans stood there like sculptures.
Waits for someone to approach and then "activates".
As for the crystal skull, after Lin An observed it for a long time, he realized that the skull should have appeared on the street first, and the homeless man was the first person to come into contact with it.
With a solemn expression, Lin An glanced at Mo Ling beneath him:
"Don't be curious."
"We're not sure what the origin of the meme is, but if you hear it, you're likely to be infected."
It had to be said that even without the strange whispers of infected people invading his mind, just hearing that repeated sentence made Lin An feel the same strong curiosity welling up in his heart.
The feeling was like a cow's hair constantly itching in the heart, making people want to know what the secret was.
What a weird meme. . .
To take it or not to take it?
Eyes flickering.
This crystal skull was probably one of the biggest gains I encountered after entering the Black Realm.
Not only useful to myself, but also useful to Mo Ling.
And it seems that this thing is not like the meme itself, but more like some kind of prop for diffusion.
Thinking secretly in his heart, Lin An looked at the other corner of the city.
Rush over and grab the income ring.
Being able to store the ring means that it is a prop as expected.
If you can't, then you can only find a way to solve the memetic incident and then take it away.
It would be too risky to rush down and get it in person. Lin An didn't know if there was any other interference near the crystal skull.
If you can control yourself for a few seconds and an infected person rushes up and whispers in your ear, it will be a big problem.
Eyes flickering.
While thinking, he quickly targeted the people in the distance who were not yet infected.
The resurrection of the dead in the Death Scourge skill...
He and Mo Ling won't get it, but they can let the "corpse" test it out!
No matter how tempting this thing looked, Lin An was still extremely wary and would rather put in more effort.
It's always right to be careful.
....
