Perhaps the reason why the antimeme could do what it did now was not that the antimeme had human thinking, but that someone was controlling it behind the scenes.
"Could it be 'that person'?"
Chen Chen muttered in a low voice and a guess faintly emerged in his mind.
But in the next second, Chen Chen frowned again. "If it's really 'that person', then how did 'he' do it?"
"I saw you..."
Chen Chen kept chewing on this sentence, trying to find some clues, but he still did not get anything.
Therefore, Chen Chen simply put this question aside for the time being and turned to look at the environment of Ju-on's dimension.
Only then did he realize that he was now on a hill.
At this time, it was already noon. Looking down from the top of the mountain, Chen Chen could see a medium-sized town. The streets were bustling with traffic and it was very prosperous. Even from here, he could hear the hustle and bustle of the city.
"What's going on?"
Chen Chen looked over in astonishment. This was clearly the world of Ju-on. According to the nature of the USB flash drive, this should be a world that had been destroyed long ago. How could there be people here?
Besides Gantz, this was the second time Chen Chen had encountered a dimension with humans.
Could it be that this Basilisk pattern vaccine was immune to memes?
Chen Chen quickly took out the information from his pocket and looked at a picture recorded in it, but the moment he saw this picture, Chen Chen's body suddenly became light.
As if a stone had been lifted from his heart, Chen Chen only felt himself shiver and then became refreshed...
It was effective!
Chen Chen was overjoyed as if something had been removed by him. It was a feeling of relief. He knew that this was the so-called Ju-on meme.
"Sure enough, I guessed right."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice. The reason why this happened was that the Basilisk pattern was ineffective in reality and only effective in the movie world. It was probably because the Basilisk pattern had limitations.
After all, the Basilisk pattern was not a complete meme, but similar to an artificially processed inactivated vaccine that had lost its activity to the environment. The new Ju-on's dimension and the dream world where Chen Chen was located had certain differences in nature.
If it was a complete meme, a slight difference was not a big deal. It could still be spread, and it could even actively mutate and adapt like a virus. However, for Basilisk patterns, it was very difficult to deal with.
Therefore, this type of Basilisk pattern was extracted but ineffective, requiring Chen Chen to come to Ju-on's dimension to adapt.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen looked at the black-hole-like passage behind him. At that time, the situation was extremely urgent. Chen Chen had no other choice, so he desperately drilled his way through, but now that he thought about it, he was indeed too lucky.
He didn't know what the situation was like on the other side of the tunnel. After he entered the tunnel, the laptop would definitely fall from a high altitude. If the laptop was broken, wouldn't the tunnel be closed and he would never be able to go back?
However, from the looks of it, the passageway did not disappear.
It seemed that the USB drive still had many undiscovered rules, and this was probably one of them.
This thought flashed through Chen Chen's mind. Now that the passageway had not disappeared, there was no need to return quickly. So, Chen Chen stepped on one foot and rose directly into the air as if he had lost gravity, flying toward the town at the foot of the mountain.
The closer he got, the clearer Chen Chen could see the town. This was obviously a typical Japanese-style town, surrounded by Japanese-style wooden self-built houses, and in the business district in the center of the town, he could see brightly lit shops and taverns. There were even ramen restaurants.
As he flew closer and closer, the noise in the town became louder and louder. Countless pedestrians and vehicles drove past on the streets, and in a park, he could even see hundreds of children playing densely in it. These children were all wearing kindergarten uniforms, which were dark blue clothes.
However, when Chen Chen saw this scene, his expression gradually solidified.
He hovered halfway up the mountain and did not fly down.
An inexplicable uneasiness surrounded Chen Chen's mind. He gradually realized that this city seemed to be a little too lively.
Looking from the top of the mountain, the area of this town was probably a small town that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, but if he connected the dense crowds of pedestrians on the streets, he could feel an inexplicable sense of incongruity.
The streets of this small town seemed to be a little too lively.
Not only that, Chen Chen looked at the only park in the town. The park was crowded with thousands of children chasing and playing. There was an extremely lively atmosphere.
However, how could a town of ten thousand people have thousands of children attending kindergarten?
Chen Chen stood in the high school and wandered around the town, but only found the existence of a kindergarten. No matter how he looked at it, the kindergarten was of an ordinary size and could only accommodate a hundred children at most.
Now, the number of parks had increased by ten times.
Something was wrong, something was very wrong...
There was something sinister about this town.
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes. After seeing these scenes that defied common sense, he finally stopped hesitating and turned directly to fly toward the sky.
However, the moment he turned around, the bustling town behind Chen Chen suddenly fell silent!
It was as if the TV in a room was playing at high volume, but someone suddenly turned it off without warning. In an instant, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
This abnormality sent a chill down Chen Chen's spine. As he flew upward, he turned his head...
Suddenly, Chen Chen saw that all the pedestrians walking on the streets of the entire town, as well as the children playing in the park, all stopped moving at this moment. They stood stiffly in place and at the same time, they all raised their heads and stared at Chen Chen.
This scene sent a chill down Chen Chen's spine and he could not help but blink.
However, when he looked again, he found that the entire town was empty. There were no pedestrians on the streets or children playing in the park at all.
There was not a single soul in the entire town. It was as if the scene just now was a hallucination in his mind …
"Sure enough, I was too optimistic."
Chen Chen simply did not look back. He rushed straight to the top of the mountain and returned to the dark passage.
Just as Chen Chen was about to go back, he suddenly thought of something and his movements suddenly paused.
He suddenly remembered that if he went back like this, everything he had just inferred would be forgotten again. This was the most basic ability of the antimeme and it could not be avoided in any way.
The only way to defeat the antimeme was to find "that person"...
However, even if he saw that person, under the influence of the antimeme, how could he recall everything?
Just as Chen Chen was hesitating, a strange cry suddenly came from behind him.
It was an inexplicable cry. The sound line was stretched out as if there was no need to breathe at all. The cries were heart-wrenching and the cries made Chen Chen's hair stand on end...
Moreover, this cry was only one voice at first, but as time passed, one cry after another came. In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of people were crying at the same time, rushing from the foot of the mountain in Chen Chen's direction...
What kind of person did not need to breathe to cry and could cry endlessly?
The answer faintly emerged in Chen Chen's mind.
"D * mn it!"
Chen Chen cursed. Now he must return to the passage immediately. Otherwise, staying here would only lead to a dead end. However, if he returned, everything he had just recalled would be forgotten again.
For a moment, Chen Chen was caught in a dilemma.
"Wait, wait!"
Just as the cries behind him were getting closer and closer and he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Chen Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of a movie —
Event Horizon!
"So, that's how it is?"
At this moment, Chen Chen seemed to understand something. Everything suddenly became clear in his mind. In the next second, Chen Chen suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his hands, and clasped them over his eyes!
"Success or failure, it all depends on this!"
As Chen Chen muttered in a low voice, his fingers directly clasped his eyes and at the same time, he exerted force. Suddenly, the index and middle fingers of both hands directly inserted into the gap between the eye socket and the eyeball!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Blue veins protruded from Chen Chen's forehead and an extreme pain hit him. Chen Chen only saw countless stars flickering in front of his eyes and could not help letting out a heart-wrenching scream!
Even so, he still did not let go. Instead, he clasped his fingers tightly and at the same time, pulled hard!
"Snap!"
With two sounds of nerves and muscle fibers snapping, the stars in Chen Chen's eyes disappeared completely. His eyes were completely plunged into endless darkness!
Chen Chen let out a suppressed roar. The intense pain caused him to tremble like a sieve, but at this time, Chen Chen had no time to recover at all. He directly took a step forward and went completely into the passage!
This was because at this time, the cries behind him were also close at hand...
The moment he went in, Chen Chen seemed to hear a furious roar behind him, but before he could hear it clearly, there was a strong sense of weightlessness in his body, and then he fell out of the passage!
The moment he returned to this side of the passage, Chen Chen directly collapsed to the ground. He covered his eyes and kept rolling around in pain, not recovering for a long time.
After about half an hour, Chen Chen sat up again. His eyes were tightly closed and two lines of blood stained his cheeks, both of which flowed out of his eye sockets.
At this time, Chen Chen's hands were tightly clasped around two round objects...
Those were the two eyeballs that Chen Chen had personally plucked out.
"What happened?"
Chen Chen closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, "What happened on the other side of the passage? Why did I make up my mind to blind myself?"
At this moment, Chen Chen had once again forgotten everything about the antimeme on the other side of the passage. The only thing he could remember at this time was that he had personally blinded himself for a certain purpose.
"The passage has the ability to isolate memes. Doesn't that mean that after I entered the passage, I've already recalled what the antimeme was?"
Chen Chen showed a thoughtful look.
However, now was not the time to think about this. Chen Chen, who had lost his eyes, must instead try to find a way to replace his vision.
Obviously, "Field energy" was a very good way.
Therefore, Chen Chen began to try to use the power of "Field energy" to observe his surroundings.
For some reason, in this dream world, his Field energy was more than ten times stronger than in reality. This also led to a greater range of exploration that he could rely on Field energy to reach a range of twenty to thirty meters.
At this time, under the induction of Chen Chen's Field energy, he had "seen" everything within a radius of more than forty square meters.
This was the middle of a wide road. At this time, Chen Chen realized that the exit of the passage was still on the computer screen, but the alien laptop he had been holding had fallen from a high altitude and smashed into pieces.
On the wreckage of the broken computer, there was a USB flash drive shining with stars.
Chen Chen slowly squatted down and pulled out the USB flash drive from the wreckage of the computer. Only at this time, on the computer screen, the pitch-black passage completely disappeared...
"As long as the USB flash drive is not unplugged, the passage will always exist, and it won't even disappear because of damage to the equipment?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen could not help but sigh silently.
This rule was not always the same. Chen Chen had tried it before. When he personally opened the passage of the USB flash drive, if he moved the computer, the passage on the computer screen would also move.
However, now, even if the equipment was damaged, the passage formed did not disappear because of the destruction of the equipment. The meaning of this inevitably made Chen Chen more speculate.
Still, now was not the time to think about this. At this time, Chen Chen put away the USB flash drive. After thinking about it, he took off again and flew in a certain direction, wobbling.
"According to the layout of the towns in my memory, this direction should be the direction of the Shangdu urban area..."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice. He aimed at the direction and flew in that direction, wobbling.
The reason why he was wobbling was that after taking off, he had no reference objects around him, so it was difficult to determine his current position.
After all, the distance he could detect was only a radius of more than twenty meters.
However, as Chen Chen began to adapt to the conditions of losing his vision, his flight became steadier and faster.
He simply rose directly into the clouds. At this distance, he could avoid the line of sight of the army on the ground and also avoid the line of sight of the satellite overhead. Moreover, the water vapor in the clouds was thicker, so there was no mistaking it.
Relying on the sense of direction in his mind and his previous memory, Chen Chen flew at a subsonic speed for about half an hour. After arriving here, Chen Chen gradually stopped in the clouds.
He held his breath, suppressed his heartbeat to a minimum, and tried to listen to the sounds below.
Under the clouds, there was the faint sound of car horns and the shouting of the crowd.
"Looks like I'm back."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice, then he swooped directly toward the ground...
All he could hear was the howling wind. Chen Chen counted down while calculating his current altitude. When he felt that it was about time, he slowly began to slow down.
Finally, Chen Chen landed on the roof of a tall building and returned to the Shangdu area.
