Due to Aixen's pull, coupled with the second sharp pain from the wound caused by sweat, Chen Chen's eyelids, which had been glued together because of blood coagulation, suddenly loosened and a large amount of blood flowed down Chen Chen's eyes again.
Therefore, Chen Chen suddenly discovered that while his eyes were hurting, he seemed to see something through the gap of his eyelids...
This was not an illusion because even if Chen Chen lost his vision, he could still use "Field energy" to explore the world around him. Therefore, when a halo appeared in front of him again and merged with the perception transmitted by Field energy, Chen Chen immediately confirmed that he had indeed seen some mysterious existence.
However, what was that?
Although the two pitch-black eye sockets could no longer be called eyes, at this moment, Chen Chen still endured the pain and opened his eyes resolutely!
Suddenly, some indescribable image appeared in Chen Chen's mind. At this moment, Chen Chen actually saw it with his eyes...
In front of him, there was endless darkness. It was not even darkness, it should be called nothingness.
However, in the boundless nothingness, a creature that seemed to be liquid and smoke appeared where Aixen was!
Why was it a creature? Because although it did not have a fixed shape, it was blood-red all over and the only specific thing on its body was a dense pile of eyeballs!
These eyeballs covered Aixen's whole body. What was even more frightening was that these eyeballs were still constantly turning. Even the moment Chen Chen stared at these eyeballs, these eyeballs seemed to be aware of it and looked back at Chen Chen!
"So that's how it is?"
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen seemed to be enlightened. Countless clues were finally connected together. He suddenly raised his hand and pointed with one hand!
"Boom!"
Aixen's thin and delicate body was thrown out violently and slammed into the wall of the shop across the street!
Chen Chen slowly stood up, opened a pair of eyes that seemed to come from hell, and looked at Aixen. In his vision, the world was a void and only the monster in front of him was a real existence.
"Chen Chen, what are you doing, I'm Aixen! Wake up, I'm X! "
Even though she was sent flying, Aixen in front of him still tried his best to defend himself, his voice weeping.
"Stop pretending, it's meaningless. What should I call you?"
Looking at the monster's body that slid to the ground, drops of gas began to flow away. The parasitic eyeballs on the gas began to twist wildly. Even in Chen Chen's mind, there were countless screams, which were the horrified cries of the eyeballs.
"Should I call you the predecessor of the USB drive? Or an antimeme? Or... "
Chen Chen walked to the monster and gently squatted down. "Event?"
"Impossible, you're cheating! How did you discover me! "
At this point, Aixen finally revealed a ferocious expression. It was no longer as crisp as before. Now, its voice was more like the sound of metal tearing through glass, and also like a wail from the abyss, filled with deathly stillness and gloominess!
"A person with a bad brain won't be able to do anything. You should ask the King of Hell!"
Chen Chen pointed to his head, stretched out his palm, and directly clasped the face of the monster in front of him. At the same time, he sneered. "Remember in your next life, don't go against me no matter what you do, understand?"
With that said, Chen Chen's Field energy was directly activated and began to encircle the body of the monster in front of him like a shredder!
In his vision, the gas and liquid that made up the monster in front of him were continuously evaporating and evaporating under the attack of Field energy. The countless eyeballs in the monster's body were in an even more tragic state as they were directly shattered by the Field energy!
"No!"
The monster continued to struggle and scream, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from Chen Chen's grasp. It could only watch helplessly as the eyeball in its body continued to shatter and the gas in its body dissipated and annihilated.
"No, you can't kill me, because I'm a concept, and concepts can't die! Absolutely not! "
In the end, the monster cried out in despair.
"No, the concept is the concept, you are you."
Chen Chen said coldly, "You're just a poor worm who attached your consciousness to a meme. You must be living a hard life. In that case, let me give you a hand!"
With that, the last few eyeballs finally shattered. At the moment when the last few eyeballs shattered, the remaining gas completely evaporated and disappeared into the vast void!
"Ahh-!"
The only thing left in his ears was the last scream of the monster …
In the end, everything was completely annihilated.
At the same time as the Aixen in front of him was annihilated, Chen Chen only felt that his mind was completely clear and all the memories gushed into his mind again!
This time, Chen Chen no longer had to worry about forgetting.
It was not only Chen Chen. At this moment, the middle-aged man who had come to the isolated edge of Shangdu looked at Shen Qi's body that no longer resembled a human with a pained expression. But at this moment, his expression suddenly froze and something else appeared in his mind...
The relatives of those who were swallowed by the antimeme also stopped what they were doing at this moment and their memories began to flash back in their minds...
At this moment, the world affected by the antimeme returned to normal again.
"Phew!"
At this moment, Chen Chen exhaled silently and finally showed a relaxed look.
At the same time, Chen Chen suddenly felt a warmth in his hand. Chen Chen looked down and saw that the dirty little beggar had crawled to Chen Chen's side at some point. She stood up a little weakly and naturally took Chen Chen's hand.
"X, thank you."
Chen Chen nodded, picked up the little beggar in front of him, and then flew in the direction from which he came.
He wanted to fly out of Haizhou and meet the officials for the last time to resolve the last matter.
While flying, Chen Chen gradually sorted out his thoughts. The source of all this was the night he was injected with the T-virus, which began with a terrible nightmare.
The next day after the dream, when Chen Chen woke up, he had forgotten everything as if nothing had happened. He continued to live his life on the original trajectory.
Because he had taken NZT-48 all year round, his intelligence was constantly improving, but this kind of improvement over a long period of time would inevitably lead to brain failure and even the sequelae of brain damage. However, Chen Chen had ingested Medpod 3000 to repair himself.
Not only did he use 3000 to repair himself, he also used the T-virus to strengthen his physique.
Therefore, even if he did not take the medicine now, his brain had begun to show some special changes, such as photographic memory, mental arithmetic efficiency comparable to that of a computer, and even intelligence beyond ordinary people.
Therefore, although he had forgotten something, his subconscious was aware of this danger, so he pointed out key clues such as "antimeme" and "dream".
That was how Little X hypnotized Chen Chen and brought him here.
However, what Chen Chen did not expect was that although it was only hypnosis to awaken his past memories, his consciousness was pulled into a parallel universe, even causing his dream to be mixed up with this world.
In other words, this was indeed a new world, and the timeline of this world happened to be the moment when Chen Chen had just obtained the USB drive four years ago in the original dimension where Chen Chen was.
However, at the same time, this was indeed Chen Chen's dream world.
How could this phenomenon be explained? The wave-particle duality of light? Or quantum mechanics?
Chen Chen still did not know for the time being, but the reason for this might be due to the USB drive, but it was more likely that it should be this Aixen!
That was, the monster that Chen Chen had killed before.
This monster was the previous owner of the USB drive.
The reason why Chen Chen was sure that there was a previous owner of the USB drive was that he gradually discovered the anomalies of the Earth Federation, such as the quantum computer and even the formation of the Earth Federation itself.
However, Chen Chen could only discover the problem, but he could not find the cause or clues of the problem at all. It was as if at the end of all anomalies, there was an invisible black hole of information. It swallowed all information related to anomalies and swallowed them until nothing was left.
It was because of this black hole of information that Chen Chen noticed the existence of the concept of antimeme. Then, he associated it with the anomalies of the Earth Federation and immediately deduced that the USB drive was likely to have a previous owner.
At first, Chen Chen thought that the previous owner was swallowed by the antimeme, but antimemes were the same as memes after all. They were all concepts. Since it was a concept, it was impossible for it to have its own thoughts like humans.
However, everything that Chen Chen encountered in the dream world had too many traces of human intervention.
Whether it was hiding under the Ju-on meme and silently devouring this world, or the behavior of Shen Qi, Zhou Jie, and the others after being possessed, it could be seen that this antimeme had its own thoughts.
However, how could an antimeme have human thoughts?
Therefore, after entering the dimension of Ju-on, Chen Chen had a hypothesis in his mind. "Perhaps the previous owner used the technology in a certain movie to turn himself into an antimeme? Or possessed the antimeme? That's why all information about him disappeared? "
Among the countless impossibilities, this was the one that could explain everything.
Then, continuing the deduction — the Earth Federation was established in 1992 and the first four movies in the USB drive were mostly around 2000. That was to say, it was very likely that the previous owner, from the time he obtained the USB drive to the time he lost the USB drive again, was about around this year, with an error of no more than ten years.
Then, before 2010, what movie could transform a person into an antimeme?
There was only one answer in Chen Chen's mind — Event Horizon!
This movie was released in 1997. It was a sci-fi horror movie about the future of 2040. Humans developed the space warp engine and built a spaceship, the "Horizon", that could enter space warp.
In order to test the ability of the space warp engine, humans let the Horizon start sailing, but two months after the Horizon set sail, it completely disappeared after performing a space warp near Neptune, along with hundreds of astronauts.
It was not until 2047 that this spaceship that had been lost for seven years appeared again and even sent a distress signal to Earth.
The voice that came out at the end of the distress signal was a very obscure sentence — "Ru, break free!"
Because Earth received the distress signal from the Horizon again, the designer and rescue personnel of the spaceship rushed to see what had happened to the spaceship in the past seven years, but what greeted them was an extremely terrifying journey...
This was the plot background of Event Horizon.
The concept of space warp in the movie was an ability that allowed a spaceship to jump from one point in the universe to another in an instant. The principle was that the spaceship would open a passage when it warped and the other side of the passage was another point in the universe.
The movie also used an analogy. The creator of the spaceship drew two points on a piece of paper and asked the mercenaries on the ship what was the shortest between the two points. The mercenary naturally said that a straight line was the shortest, but he said that the answer was wrong. Then, he directly folded the paper, put the two points together, and then pierced the paper with a pen. Then, he explained that putting the two points together was the shortest and the space warp engine was to put these two points together.
However, who would have expected that after the spaceship warped, although it successfully disappeared from this point, it did not appear at another point. It completely disappeared from this vast universe and went to the unknown beyond the universe.
In the movie, all the supernatural phenomena on the spaceship, in Chen Chen's view, seemed to be caused by the spaceship being infected with some kind of meme. In addition, there was a line that left a deep impression on Chen Chen: "This spaceship once sailed out of our universe, once separated from the world of materialism. God knows where it has been, what it has seen, and what it has brought back..."
The biggest clue in the plot was probably the part where the eyes were dug out because in the setting of the movie, the Horizon went to an extremely terrifying world, which seemed to be hell. In that world, organs such as eyes were not needed. Only by digging out the eyes could one see the truth of that world.
Therefore, the creator in the spaceship, under the temptation of that world, dug out his eyes and actively embraced the darkness. Thus, he became the spokesperson of that world and instantly gained terrifying power.
Therefore, Chen Chen judged that if the previous owner of the USB flash drive wanted to assimilate himself into a conceptual existence such as a meme or antimeme, only Event Horizon could do it.
Therefore, Chen Chen would first dig out his eyes before returning to Ju-on's dimension because after digging out his eyes, he would be able to see the previous owner of the USB flash drive.
Moreover, at that time, Chen Chen had already begun to suspect Aixen because the purpose of the previous owner of the USB flash drive was to devour Chen Chen and replace him. To replace Chen Chen, it was far from enough to just kill Chen Chen in the dream, but to devour Chen Chen's dream before Chen Chen woke up. Therefore, it spared no effort to protect Chen Chen and prevent Chen Chen from being killed by Ju-on first.
Aixen had also saved Chen Chen before Ju-on killed Chen Chen.
Therefore, everything that happened next came about.
The little beggar was a backdoor implanted by Little X to protect Chen Chen's safety. When Little X was hypnotized, she kissed Chen Chen, and this kiss was an "anchor point". As long as the little beggar touched Chen Chen in the dream and kissed Chen Chen at the same time, Chen Chen could easily wake up, making all of Aixen's efforts go up in smoke.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Aixen did not have the ability to kill Chen Chen. On the contrary, he did not completely integrate with the antimeme at all. His body was the pair of blood-red eyes and the antimeme was those liquid-like and gas-like things. As long as those eyes were shattered, it was equivalent to killing him.
After his death, the antimeme naturally lost the power to target Chen Chen and went back to sleep.
Thus, Chen Chen's memory came back completely.
As for why the previous owner of the USB flash drive wanted to turn himself into a meme, Chen Chen had no idea.
This would probably become an eternal mystery.
However, now it seemed that all this was probably planned by the previous owner of the USB flash drive because even the four horror movies in the USB flash drive were put in by the previous owner of the USB flash drive. The purpose was to devour the next owner of the USB flash drive.
Unfortunately, he met Chen Chen.
