"Forty-eight hours have passed since the first ghost attack. So far …"
"The number of attacks is zero. That's strange …"
Li Ganglei was writing a report on the ghost cursed meme Chu Hao encountered this time. No matter how worried he was, as one of the three O6s of the Renegades, he had to be responsible for the entire organization. Regardless of whether Chu Hao could survive this time, it was already an internal rule of the organization to record all the details of every memetic crisis. This would provide the organization with the information they needed to resist the memetic crisis. It was very likely that these things that could not be explained by science had their own unique set of rules. It was just that they were not aware of it at the moment. If they could find out its rules, then they might have a way to resist it.
"Chu Hao, how are you feeling? Is there a problem? "When Li Ganglei thought of this, he asked Chu Hao through the walkie-talkie again.
"It's okay. I'm not affected by the ghost at all, but after being exposed to the strong light for a long time, I feel that my mind is showing signs of anxiety. My appetite is decreasing, and I'm mentally anxious. At the same time, I'm also experiencing physical anxiety. Natural physiological phenomena are occurring. If this continues, my anxiety symptoms will probably gradually increase, but it's not a problem. I can still control these emotions." Chu Hao's voice came through the earpiece.
Li Ganglei thought for a moment and wrote something on his laptop before continuing, "In any case, the situation seems to be quite optimistic. There haven't been any ghost attacks for forty-eight hours. Could it be as the researchers speculated, that ghost cursed memes are limited by the presence of observers? Once they're under observation, they can't be attacked. If that's the case, then can we capture the first ghost in an environment with observers? "
This was a conversation that Chu Hao was very familiar with. As the O6 founder of the Renegades Organization as well as one of the three wise men of the organization, Chu Hao often discussed things with the other two. Moments like this where they were in a dangerous situation while discussing things with each other were very common, so it wasn't unusual at all. He immediately pondered and said, "There are a lot of spells in the DND System that involve ghosts, souls, and spirits. However, those spells are generally of a higher level, while spells that can dispel the undead are mostly used by priests. Among the low-level spells, only a few formations would be useful, which is similar to the field effect that we've researched to weaken the curses of ghosts. So the key is still time, and we don't have much time. Not only have my abilities increased, but the situation in the real world is also …"
At this point, both Chu Hao and Li Ganglei fell silent. Ever since the Renegades Organization was established, in the first 10 years, the Renegades Organization gradually grew stronger. Especially after they continuously took in a number of dangerous anomalies, saved several super clans, and stopped the C Organization's several major operations, the Renegades Organization was basically the organization that every country and family in the world pushed forward to challenge the C Organization. The manpower and material support they received was truly ridiculous, and there were bases all over the world. Furthermore, the internal affairs of the Renegades Organization also worked hard. After taking in a number of defectors from the C Organization, the Renegades Organization's scientific and technological prowess began to pull away from the real world's countries. Only then could the Renegades Organization be said to be able to slightly stop the C Organization.
However, good times didn't last long. As the Renegades Organization grew stronger, their strength and influence grew, and they learned more. On the contrary, they became more fearful of the C Organization, especially after destroying several C Organization bases, which led to the leakage of several keter-class anomalies. There were several near-apocalyptic situations. Not only did the Renegades Organization suffer great losses, but it also led to a strong counterattack from the C Organization. There were also memetic corruption that couldn't be eradicated. Dozens of memetic infection zones similar to the Ghost Cursed Dead Zone had appeared. Although they had been sealed, these zones could still be infected …
To make a simple analogy, it was like the world in the American version of The Grudge. As time passed, the Grudge zones would also increase, and in the end, the entire world would become a Grudge zone. That would be the end of the world!
So far, the Renegades Organization had already noticed the signs. As the number of anomalies increased, the memetic effect gradually strengthened, and the range of the Memetic Dead Zone expanded, causing more and more memes to appear. Based on the calculations of the Renegades Organization's Trinity supercomputer at the Renegades Organization's main base, it was very likely that a memetic crisis would erupt in the next five to ten years, leading to the end of the world. Moreover, unless the Renegades Organization found a cure for the memes, they could only delay the process and not completely stop it. In that case, the end of the world would still be inevitable.
Therefore, they lacked time …
"There's always a way to solve these problems …" Li Ganglei exhaled and continued, "No matter what, your matter is a turning point. As long as we can survive this, we will have hope. If you can become the 'dawn', then it doesn't matter even if we all die …"
Chu Hao was silent. He sat in the light, thinking about something. Suddenly, Li Ganglei's voice rang in his ears. "No, that's impossible … Or, could it be because …"
"What's wrong!?" Chu Hao immediately asked.
"… Wait for me to come down. I'll tell you when I come down …"
After Li Ganglei spoke, Chu Hao didn't hear anything else for a long time. Just when he was feeling extremely anxious, he saw Li Ganglei walking into the hall hastily. Li Ganglei then signaled for the patrolling personnel to continue. He then walked directly to Chu Hao's side and said softly, "About twenty minutes ago, when the special operations team was secretly searching the interior of the base, they found the corpse of a member of an external organization in the third condensation pipe. He was one of the outer defense guards of the base. His corpse was twisted and bent into a thin strip that was more than thirty meters long and was stuffed into the pipe. From the analysis of the special operations team's personnel at the scene, he had been dead for more than forty-eight hours. However, about an hour ago, during the routine inspection of all the personnel in the base, this person was still in the inspection list …"
Chu Hao's expression gradually turned serious. He whispered, "Needless to say, that person should have completely disappeared by now, right?"
"That's right, he has completely disappeared …" Li Ganglei said with a cold expression, "At the same time, this person's team members have also disappeared. A total of four people have disappeared directly from the base …"
"The effect of the standard ghost curse meme …" Chu Hao was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he shouted to the people around him, "From now on, reduce the surrounding light. The patrol will remove their sight from me for thirty seconds. After ten seconds, the command will start."
When Chu Hao gave the command, the staff around him quickly controlled the brightness of the lights. Meanwhile, Li Ganglei said seriously, "Are you sure you want to do this? Are you really not worried … that this attack will directly kill you? "
"But I still have to be sure." Chu Hao smiled bitterly as he shook his head and said, "Logically speaking, the cursed meme of spirits and ghosts has already found me. Unless I'm dead, it's impossible for it to affect others. This is the rule that we've already established. If this rule is broken, then the rule that we've written down will have to undergo a huge change. Needless to say, I've already had this kind of awareness long ago … Li Ganglei, look away."
Li Ganglei patted Chu Hao's shoulder. With a pained expression, he closed his eyes and turned away. Almost at the moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a wave of eerie terror behind him. It was an indescribable feeling of terror. Furthermore, he seemed to be able to hear whispers in his ears. It was like the cold arms of a dead body were reaching out to touch him …
30 seconds seemed short but it was actually very long. After 30 seconds, everyone's eyes turned back to Chu Hao. At the same time, the shadowless lights shone again and the square became clear again.
Meanwhile, Chu Hao who was standing in the middle of the light was panting heavily. His face was ashen and his entire body was completely drenched. Moreover, the strange thing was that there was a layer of frost on the surface of his body. It was as if he had run into a pool of ice and swam for a round in the past thirty seconds.
"… The curse, the curse meme is still targeting me. Cold, so cold …" Chu Hao said with trembling teeth, "This is very strange. I think, it is very possible …"
Li Ganglei's face turned darker and darker. He seemed to have thought of something as well. Almost at the same time as Chu Hao, he said, "Perhaps …"
"Two cursed memes have exploded in this base at the same time!"
Two cursed memes … two …
In an underground warehouse somewhere in the base, several white corpses were mixed together. They were twisted and extended, melting and rotting …
Beside these white corpses, the silhouette of a white female flickered. It was like a TV program that was distorted because the signal was too weak …
"Big brother … Big brother Chu Hao, have you forgotten about me? Have you forgotten about me? Have you forgotten … "
The white female silhouette groaned and whispered in pain. Then it melted into the shadows and disappeared …
