Was it a virus that used information as a carrier?
This was Chen Chen's most intuitive impression of these Basilisk patterns so far.
However, this statement was still inaccurate because no matter how powerful the virus was, it could not conjure a woman out of thin air and strangle the infected person.
This was fundamentally against the laws of physics.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen continued to flip to the back.
The second image was very similar to the first one. Both were black and white, composed of countless color blocks. These color blocks were complex and repetitive, dazzling the eyes. Even Chen Chen felt his thoughts stagnating when he saw it.
When these color blocks were combined with each other, Chen Chen vaguely seemed to see a Grim Reaper holding a scythe.
Chen Chen had heard Fujiwara Aoki mention this pattern before. It was called Grim Reaper and its ability was...
[Basilisk pattern: Grim Reaper]
[Symptoms: When the viewer observes the "Grim Reaper", there will be no reaction. When the viewer looks away, he will forget everything about this pattern. When someone mentions the existence of this pattern to the viewer, the viewer will die instantly. The probability of survival is less than five percent.]
[Danger level: Level 3, extremely dangerous.]
[Method of infection: None, unable to spread on its own.]
Seeing this, Chen Chen could not help shaking his head. This Grim Reaper was really strange enough. He did not know how many people had died and how many lives had been sacrificed for the survivors to summarize these patterns.
Perhaps even dozens of lives could not be exchanged for a punctuation mark in this information.
Following that, Chen Chen continued to flip to the back. There were seven or eight more patterns at the back. One of the patterns was called "Tremor", which meant that after seeing that picture, the viewer would tremble all over until their cerebrospinal fluid and blood were thrown out before they stopped.
Some patterns were called "Flame", which meant that after seeing that pattern, the entire person would spontaneously combust out of thin air, burning into a pile of ashes from the inside out.
There was even a pattern called "Filth". Anyone who saw this pattern would be surrounded by black spots all over their body and this pattern could be transmitted to others.
These black spots seemed to be alive. They first appeared at a random spot and then began to spread all over the body. As they spread, the human body began to carbonize. In the end, it became to the point where one's hands and feet would break with every step.
Only when the carbonization spread to the internal organs and head would the infected person die completely …
After all the pictures, it was also noted that there were still a few pictures that had not been included. Moreover, the nature of those pictures was unclear, and one must be careful when encountering unknown pictures.
Following that, Chen Chen continued to flip to the back and immediately saw the next text, but this text no longer had pictures, but had evolved into something even more bizarre.
[Mysterious Phenomenon: Woman in Dreams]
[Symptoms: The infected person will start to dream, and it is an extremely terrifying nightmare. The scene in the dream is always surprisingly similar to the place where the infected person sleeps. In other words, wherever the infected person sleeps, the scene in his dream will also be the same. The only difference from reality is that he will see a woman in white in his dream.]
[The face of the woman in white cannot be seen clearly. Only a pair of white eyes can be seen. When the infected see the woman, they will always feel intense fear and quickly wake up.]
[However, after being infected by the mysterious phenomenon of "Woman in Dreams", each time they sleep, they will dream of the other party again, and as the number of dreams increases, the other party will get closer and closer to the infected person, finally arriving in front of the infected person.]
[After corresponding to reality, in the eyes of a bystander, the "Woman in Dreams" will appear out of thin air from the chest of the infected person and strangle the infected person to death. When the infected person dies, the "Woman in Dreams" will also disappear.]
[Danger level: Level 2, somewhat dangerous.]
[Method of infection: Temporarily unknown. It is known that physical contact with the infected person, sexual behavior, sharing of nightmare content, and so on, will not cause infection.]
After reading this, Chen Chen suddenly wore a pensive look. Was this the mysterious phenomenon evolved from the so-called Basilisk pattern? It was really strange.
Chen Chen suddenly thought, what should he do if he was infected with this thing?
Although Chen Chen was still in the sage mode under the effect of NZT-48, in the face of this mysterious phenomenon, Chen Chen could only think of two solutions.
The first one: Suicide.
Of course, it was not to shoot himself directly. Instead, he would inject an anesthetic so that his brain would be in a state where he would not dream. After waking up, he would quickly take NZT-48. By using this method to put the brain into dormancy, he might be able to avoid the killing methods of "Woman in Dreams".
The second one was less torturous but riskier, which was to return to reality.
This was because Chen Chen had long speculated that the existence of the USB drive was a deep mystery. In that case, was it possible that the creator of this USB drive had long thought of such a situation and that the passage could isolate such mysterious phenomena?
Chen Chen's speculation was not unreasonable because in the first state of the USB drive, it could not extract life, which led Chen Chen to think that the USB drive could not pass through life.
However, it was not until the USB drive appeared in the second state that Chen Chen realized that the first state seemed to be a kind of protection for the weak.
The inability to extract life was to prevent the user from courting death by directly ingesting the T-virus, ALZ-113, and so on. One careless move and destroying the world, or directly opening the passage, bringing extraterrestrial pathogens into reality, causing a catastrophe for mankind, and so on.
When the user obtained a certain ability with the help of the USB drive, it was equivalent to the user having passed the test of the USB drive. Only then would the USB drive enter the second state, opening the door to another world.
In other words, the test of the USB drive for the user was gentle and gradual.
Therefore, could it be that the passage could isolate such mysterious phenomena? When Chen Chen crossed the passage to return to reality, he would only go back by himself and the mysterious phenomena could not pass through the passage?
However, this solution was risky.
This was because the USB drive did not even have an instruction manual from beginning to end. It was all up to Chen Chen to figure it out bit by bit. Therefore, if Chen Chen made a wrong judgment, would it not be equivalent to bringing this mysterious phenomenon into reality?
If this was the case, Chen Chen would still die and he might drag the entire human civilization down with him.
"But this situation is not unavoidable."
Chen Chen thought for a while and murmured in a low voice, "I can first use the Rubik's Cube to send the information back, then let Little X seal all the entrances to the passage or even build a Faraday cage. If I can't escape the mysterious phenomenon even if I return, I'll just die in the Faraday cage...
"Then after I die, let Little X continue to charge the USB drive until the power is enough to stuff the entire room where I died back into the dimension of Gantz..."
Thinking of this, Chen Chen could not help but sneer. Indeed, this was basically the best solution. He would not be sitting around waiting for death, nor would he spread the mysterious phenomenon to reality.
Following that, Chen Chen continued to flip through, looking at one mysterious phenomenon after another.
