Master Gou had already led the D-class personnel to check the homes of all the believers and destroyed or brought back all the items with the totem symbol.
The items with the totem symbol were just photos or hand-drawn drawings.
In general, there were not many. They were all made by the believers when they had nothing to do. They did not deliberately spread the totem belief. Most of the believers only had totem poles for worship in their homes.
Without a belief, there was no motivation to spread it. They first mentioned Buddha, then God, but they could not answer Mo Qiong's question. They just said, "I just believe in it, no reason."
It was difficult for people who had their minds twisted to realize that their minds had been twisted. They did not feel that there was anything wrong with this belief. Some of the peripheral personnel might also believe in it and not feel that it was abnormal.
But even if they did not deliberately spread the totem belief, it was still very efficient to spread it.
After all, as long as they saw it, they would believe in it.
Master Gou said, "D-class personnel 749 only saw a photo with the totem symbol and his belief was stimulated. He wanted to worship it."
"I satisfied his request. He is very calm now. He did not do anything special, nor did he make any excessive requests. He just cooperated with us to destroy the totem."
Mo Qiong said, "As long as he does not find out about the Dream Libretto, the believers will just have an extra habit every day. Just think of it as praying before meals."
"The key is the method to remove this effect. Master Gou, are you sure that memory deletion is effective?"
Master Gou said, "Yes. As long as he does not remember the symbol, the devout belief will disappear. I used two methods to erase memories on 749 and 750. Whether it is hypnosis or memory deletion, both are effective. "
Mo Qiong nodded. "That's good. Now we need to find everyone."
After learning that someone had filmed the totem sacrifice and uploaded it, Lan Bai She banned the video immediately and found all the users who had clicked on the video.
There was no Great Wall of Internet in Thailand. This website was open to the whole world. The only good thing was that this video was not popular. After six years, it had only accumulated 510,000 views.
Accumulated views did not represent the number of viewers. According to the IPs they found, less than 100,000 people in the world had watched this video.
But these 100,000 people were like 100,000 seeds that would be passed on to the people around them. In Thailand, only 10 people had influenced 1,000 people. Then, a conservative estimate was that there might be 10 million people worldwide.
If he hadn't investigated this matter, he wouldn't have known, but once he did, he was shocked.
"Why didn't we discover this earlier?" Mo Qiong asked in surprise.
Master Gou said, "The sacrifice itself isn't harmful. It's nothing more than killing a chicken or a fish. The believers don't think there's anything wrong with it. The greatest danger of this effect was the Dreamscape Libretto. It's like taking drugs, wearing away people's willpower and making them decadent in reality. In the long run, they will gradually lose their ambitions and have no desire to fight. They will just muddle along and live like a salted fish. There is no future and they will live in a dream. "
"To be honest, there are plenty of people like that. In Japan alone, there were millions of people living off their parents. There were more than ten million otakus. They supported themselves by working part-time or by working part-time jobs. There were even more such people all over the world. Furthermore, this kind of depravity was a natural depravity of the human heart. It was something that had slowly become like this over the course of a few years. It was not something that happened overnight. In other words, it's just an additional Spiritual Crow. Lan Baishe's eyes and ears aren't that wide. "
Mo Qiong agreed in his heart. He had been like this before, but it wasn't as serious. It wasn't because of the totem either.
Lan Baishe wouldn't care about this kind of problem.
Master Gou continued, "Especially since the believers of this totem weren't fanatical. They didn't do anything extreme, and they didn't even break the law. No believer held a totem pole and preached their faith on the streets, or spread religious words to gather a group of people for a gathering. "
"If they really did that, our people would have been watching them. But the problem is that none of them …"
"Other than someone who filmed the sacrifice process and uploaded it, most of the spread was when the totem pole was seen at home. When all the people who could enter the house were spread, the spread would come to a standstill. It could be said that it had been spreading slowly. "
Mo Qiong said, "That's still like boiling a frog in warm water. It's not slow. Fortunately, we discovered it early. Fortunately, the Mo family chased the last survivors who remembered the totem deep into the mountains and forests and isolated them from the world until modern times. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"It's not that unimaginable. Without the Mo family's reminder, we would have discovered it sooner or later. The peripheral members didn't report it because their willpower wasn't strong enough. As long as one of the members is infected and discovers the abnormality in the dream, the society will immediately take action, "Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong smiled. Doing whatever one wanted in the dream was indeed very attractive.
But to the members, it was nothing. The members' willpower training was all-encompassing.
From 1 to 500 points, it was all kinds of fear and pain. But what about after 500 points? It was all kinds of corruption and temptations.
It could be said that as long as one's mind wasn't twisted and they didn't force themselves to fall, almost all members could resist corruption.
"Master Gou, the report from the research department is here," Na Wa said.
Master Gou immediately turned on the computer and checked the results of the research department's physical examination of the believers.
"When the human body falls into hibernation, the dopamine neurons at the nerve endings are greatly activated? Attention will be highly focused, nerve reaction will increase by three times, data analysis, graphics, and abstract thinking will increase by ten times? "Mo Qiong and Master Gou looked at the report in surprise.
There was no doubt that the dream libretto was different from the sacrifice. It wasn't a twisted mind, but more like the development of the human brain.
However, it was only active in the dream. Once the human body woke up, this enhancement would disappear immediately.
"Isn't this a drug?" Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou blinked and said, "Drugs will permanently destroy the human brain, but this won't. This is a characteristic. It doesn't activate the brain through chemical composition. "
"You're saying that it's actually a beneficial buff …" Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou smiled and said, "But because it exists in the dream, for most people who don't have a strong will, it only shows a corrupting effect. This is the weakness of the human heart."
Ice poison had a similar effect. It could enhance the thinking ability of the human brain, but at the cost of permanent damage.
People who took drugs would temporarily feel that they were like gods and could do whatever they wanted. It was just a self-induced high.
This thing was created by humans themselves. The original intention was to benefit humans, but science was a double-edged sword. They released a monster that destroyed people's families.
The dream libretto was the same. It indirectly strengthened the brain. When ordinary people dreamed, the dream was blurry and the world was absurd. It was even missing, abnormal, and leapfrogging.
However, if the neural reaction, data analysis, graphics, and abstract thinking were all strengthened, then the dream would be clear and coherent, just like virtual reality.
However, the result was that countless believers lived in the dream, greedy for the self-satisfaction.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The feeling of being able to do whatever one wanted in a dream and then waking up with everything gone was no joke.
In addition, the dream libretto was a script that was determined in advance, not a script that was created in the dream. There was still a difference between the two.
"But it can still be resisted by the will! The human heart has a weak side and a strong side, "Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou said, "That's right. With willpower training, this kind of corruption can be resisted, and the positive effects can be displayed. For example, in scientific research, a conceptual design can be directly turned into a physical object in the dream, skipping the construction stage. How much experimental funds can be saved? Coupled with the strengthening of one's thinking ability, one can analyze and consider the feasibility of the design very well. Inspiration will also explode indirectly. "
Many scientists, such as Mendeleev, were inspired by their dreams.
This was just the normal brain. If one's imagination and abstract thinking ability were greatly improved, thinking in dreams would become a talent of everyone in the research department.
The reason why David matured early and knew everything at such a young age was precisely because he did not need to sleep and was thinking all the time.
If scientists could think in their dreams, not many would be willing to stay up all night in the laboratory …
It was rumored that Tesla could design blueprints even when he was sleeping. Often, he would send out the most feasible blueprints when he had an idea, often without a draft.
When Mo Qiong heard this before, he once suspected that he was a transmigrator. Was he copying the blueprints in his memory? Now that he thought about it, was he a totem believer?
Nava said, "The people in the research department are crazily applying to use it. The higher-ups have cautiously suppressed it and urged the containment department to deal with the meme that is still spreading as soon as possible."
Mo Qiong and Master Gou looked at each other and smiled. This was actually the same reason why he was interested in the Wood Armor Technique.
However, this effect was gone after waking up, and it was not useful for the members of the containment department.
However, it was very useful for researchers.
Once it was restricted to the research department, it was likely that a group of scientists would have a meeting in their pajamas.
Then, one of them took out a report to the other and said, "Dr. Chen, please analyze the feasibility of this plan."
"I just woke up."
"Please, sleep with me one more time."
"Okay, then I'll work overtime …"
