Upon hearing this, Chen Chen felt a chill in his heart at first, followed by anger. "Why would there be an angel statue there, could it be that the prophecy of the Quantum Deity Laboratory was leaked?"
"I don't think so..."
Little X sounded hesitant. "After you left the Quantum Deity Laboratory, I closely monitored the conversation between the rescue troops and the superiors. I can confirm that the White House is doing as we instructed. Although I can't guarantee that they won't play that video in the future, at least for now, they have no intention of doing so."
After hearing Little X's explanation, Chen Chen nodded.
Indeed, if the video was leaked, the angel statue should have appeared in the White House first, not the Los Angeles City Hall. It was a pity that he left in a hurry and did not destroy the video of Adam's prophecy.
Still, on second thought, there were murderous statues in the Quantum Deity Laboratory at that time. If he had been half-hearted at that time, he might have had his neck broken by the statue before he could delete the video.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen could only sigh helplessly, his expression becoming more solemn. "If it's not the meme of the leaked video, then why would there be an angel statue in the city hall half a city away from the Herrank District?"
Chen Chen could not find an answer no matter how he thought about it, so he simply opened the brass ring on his hand, took out a crystal pill, and quickly put it in his mouth.
With the strengthening of the T-virus and the subtle changes the effects of the drug had on the brain, Chen Chen's brain computing power was also rapidly improving. He was no longer what he used to be.
However, it was also because of this that the effect of this drug on him was becoming less and less. Still, the situation was urgent at this time, taking NZT-48 was better than not taking it at all.
After the drug entered his body, in less than thirty seconds, Chen Chen's thoughts were clear again and his thinking ability was slightly improved.
However, it was this small improvement that allowed Chen Chen to completely connect the clues that were one step away from the door!
"I see!"
Chen Chen exhaled, his frown completely relaxed. He asked Little X, "Did you not check the surveillance of the Herrank Warehouse District before?"
"Yes."
Little X immediately replied, "Because the equipment in the Herrank Warehouse District is too old, still at the level of ten or twenty years ago, their surveillance isn't connected to the Internet. Originally, I planned to use the Black Knights to manually retrieve the surveillance, but the Los Angeles police had already sealed off the area, so in the end, I didn't get any effective surveillance data."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense."
Chen Chen nodded. "X, the truth is that we've all fallen into a misunderstanding before, which is the video that the quantum computer 'Adam' predicted."
"We always thought that the video that Adam prophesied was a meme that imitated reality, to remind us of the nature of the meme, but now that I think about it, it's not the case …"
Little X was a little confused. "But he did generate a memetic video and caused the deaths of people in the Quantum Deity Laboratory..."
"What you said is indeed the truth, but it's not entirely correct."
Chen Chen asked, "What if I say that there's nothing wrong with that video?"
"But …"
Little X was a little confused.
"Have you ever considered that the video is fine? The real problem is not the video but the angel statue in the video?"
Chen Chen continued. "In other words, the angel statue won't be infected by the meme if it's looked at directly in real life. However, if the angel statue is captured on video or in pictures, it'll be able to infect humans..."
"Ah!"
Little X suddenly let out a cry of surprise. "Is that so?"
"There's a saying from Sherlock Holmes, when you've discarded all the impossible, the remaining answer, no matter how ridiculous, will be the final truth..."
Chen Chen nodded and said firmly, "This is the only way to explain why the angel statue won't be infected by looking directly at it, but there's a new angel statue in the city hall! It's because someone in the city hall saw the video of the angel statue recorded by the surveillance cameras. This video is the same as the video that Adam prophesied, it has the ability to assimilate humans into the angel statue! "
After saying all this, Chen Chen did not linger. He once again activated the Field in his mind and flew directly into the sky!
When Little X saw Chen Chen moving again, she quickly asked, "Sir Godfather, are you going to the city hall?"
"That's right, I have to stop more people from being infected by the meme!"
Chen Chen answered while flying, "X, your mission here is also very important. That is, before the statue incident spreads, cut off all surveillance cameras and videos taken by people on the Internet and destroy these videos completely!"
"Understood!"
Only then did Little X respond and disappear from sight.
The reason why Chen Chen was acting as if he was facing a formidable enemy was that he was the only one who understood how serious this matter was.
If it was as he suspected, anyone who saw the video and pictures of the angel statue would be assimilated by the meme and become a new angel statue, then mankind would be faced with a life-threatening crisis!
After all, this was the 21st century. Human civilization was developing rapidly and the standard of living was improving by leaps and bounds. In this era, there were surveillance cameras everywhere and who did not have a phone that could take pictures?
It could be said that the angel statue was the natural enemy of mankind. As long as a picture was circulated and ten people from all over the world saw it on the Internet, then these ten people would become new statues and start killing people. More people would take pictures and circulate them...
Just like a spark, in a few days, humans would face a huge disaster. This was especially true for large cities, where the environment was extremely complicated. To find a murderous statue that could come and go without a trace would require an astronomical amount of manpower and resources.
In the later stages, even if mankind found a way to deal with it and eliminate all pictures and videos, by then there would be hundreds of thousands or even millions of statues around the world. These statues would still continue to kill people, it could be said that there was no end to the problem.
In the worst-case scenario, human civilization might be destroyed because of this!
This was a war of genocide, closely related to the fate of everyone. This was why Chen Chen was so nervous, even to the point of doing it himself. After all, when the nest was overturned, no eggs could survive. Chen Chen did not want to escape to another dimension with his parents like a stray dog.
These thoughts flashed in Chen Chen's mind. At this time, he entered supersonic mode again, directly flying over the sky above the city of Los Angeles. Everywhere he passed, there were bursts of explosions. Countless people covered their ears and looked at the sky, but they could not see anything.
Until five minutes later, when Chen Chen arrived at the Los Angeles City Hall, he was finally released from supersonic mode. At this time, he stood in the sky and looked down, only to see people screaming and running out of the city hall. In front of the gate of the city hall, there was a statue of an angel standing there!
At the foot of the statue, there was a corpse with its neck twisted like a fried dough twist...
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen's expression suddenly turned cold. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly, an invisible force burst out from between his eyebrows!
It was as if a bomb had exploded in the air. In an instant, a shockwave spread out in a fan shape. There was no fire, no explosion, only a visible airwave that whistled out. Even the air was distorted into the shape of waves!
In the next second, this shock wave hit the statue and the surrounding ground with overwhelming force. In an instant, the body of the statue shattered inch by inch, directly twisted into dust by the raging shock!
"Rumble!"
At this time, countless muffled thunderous sounds rolled in all directions, accompanied by a torrent of sand and stones. The few survivors left in the city hall seemed to see the arrival of a natural disaster. One by one, they no longer dared to stay, crying and fleeing in all directions!
As the endless smoke and dust settled, it was only at this time that it became clear that the blow launched by Chen Chen just now had directly punched a deep pit in the ground like a meteorite impact, and the statue was completely turned into ashes, completely gone!
Of course, Chen Chen knew that the other party was immortal. He blinked slightly, and sure enough, in the moment he blinked, the statue appeared in Chen Chen's sight, intact, in the deep pit!
Still, this was exactly what Chen Chen had planned. In the next second, Chen Chen activated the Field energy again, and suddenly a large amount of soil that had been blown away was collected again. This soil piled up in the deep pit, directly burying the statue.
This time, Chen Chen was more cautious. He directly rose above a hundred meters, then closed his eyes slightly again, and then opened them again.
However, this time, the statue did not rush out of the soil. It seemed that the deep burial method had really restrained the other party!
Seeing this, Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a dull pain in his mind, and at the same time, a slight warmth in his nose.
Chen Chen touched his nose as if he felt something. Sure enough, the palm of his hand was bright red.
It seemed that he had to speed up...
Chen Chen did not continue to pay attention to the angel statue buried in the ground. He landed again and at the same time, rushed into the city hall in a flash, only to see that the city hall was already in a mess. Countless documents were scattered in the hall, and at the same time, there were several bodies lying on the ground, all in the same state.
Chen Chen raised his head and looked around. In the next second, the surveillance cameras in the hall crackled at the same time, and the next second, they exploded one after another. After doing all this, Chen Chen continued to move forward, walking into the corridor of the city hall.
As Chen Chen moved forward, the surveillance cameras above his head also exploded one after another. It was not until he walked in front of the door marked as the mayor's office that he stopped slightly.
With his current hearing, he could already hear the sound of a human heartbeat coming from inside.
However, this heartbeat was very laborious, as if the other party was already suffering from a serious illness...
Chen Chen pushed open the door of the office. In the next second, there was a sudden flash of fire in front of him. In the next second, a bullet shot directly at Chen Chen's chest, but it was blocked by the invisible Field energy.
Chen Chen reached out and plucked the bullet suspended in the air, then looked into the room expressionlessly, only to see only a middle-aged man with gray hair and a frightened expression staring at him.
"Mr. Mayor."
Chen Chen walked directly into the office, closed the door behind him, and at the same time, said calmly, "Is this how you greet your guests?"
"There, there's a monster outside the door!"
Parsons looked at Chen Chen, his trembling right hand betraying his current emotions. In his hand, there was a revolver that was smoking. "Who are you, are you here to get me out?"
"No, I'm just here to solve the problem."
Chen Chen looked at the palm that was exposed outside the clothes, suddenly took a step forward, came in front of Parsons like lightning, and at the same time, grabbed the man's right wrist.
"You, what are you doing!"
Parsons let out a scream. He wanted to struggle, but he found that the other party's hand was like a pair of iron pincers, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not move an inch!
"Clatter!"
Even the only weapon he had dropped to the ground.
At this point, Chen Chen could see that at this time, Parsons' right hand seemed to be smeared with a layer of paint. The whole body appeared to be a strange greenish-white color, but this was not the color of necrosis, but the color of marble...
"Has it begun to petrify?"
The corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up into a cold smirk. He turned back to look at the computer on the desk in front of Parsons, only to see that the computer's network cable had been unplugged.
Sure enough...
Seeing this, Chen Chen immediately sorted out the process. He directly waved his hand, and instantly, the hard drive in the computer's mainframe flew out of the motherboard. After that, Chen Chen crushed the hard drive with one hand, then the entire hard drive was shattered into countless pieces.
After doing all this, Chen Chen looked at Parsons again. At this time, at this time, Parsons was completely stunned by Chen Chen's actions. He stared at Chen Chen in a daze, even forgetting to struggle.
"Apart from you, who else has seen the video of the angel statue?" Chen Chen asked.
"The, the technical department..."
Parsons replied with a stutter, "And the technical department has seen the video as well. Are you saying that the video is what caused me to become like this?"
Parsons was not an idiot to begin with. At this time, when he heard this question from Chen Chen, he immediately came back to his senses and at the same time, he said in horror, "Help me, I don't want to become like that!"
Chen Chen frowned. Just as he was about to ask how many people were in the technical department, Parsons suddenly froze in place. At the same time, in front of him, Chen Chen saw that white blood vessels began to spread all over Parsons' body. It was like countless thick white worms were rapidly wriggling under the surface of Parsons' skin!
"Help, help me..."
Parsons wanted to open his mouth and scream, but he only felt an indescribable numbness in his body. He could only desperately reach out with his hands, trying to grab the mysterious man in front of him!
"Alright, I'll give you a ride!"
Seeing this, without hesitation, Chen Chen placed his hands on Parsons' head and at the same time, gently twisted!
"Crack!"
There was a sound similar to stone breaking. Parsons' head was directly twisted off!
However, there was not a single trace of blood at the cut of his neck. Instead, there was an irregular cut of marble.
After the head was twisted off, Parsons' body stopped moving. In the next second, his entire body turned into a marble statue, completely solidifying everything that he had been before he died...
