Chapter 1060: ,【Plague of Mind】

"This is the Central Plaza of Los Santos. Due to dissatisfaction with the Secretary of State's extreme anti-drug policy, the protesters have been demonstrating continuously since the beginning of the week. At present..."
On the TV, behind the beautiful female reporter is a dark crowd, holding various weird slogans, and shouting emotionally at the camera.
Bang bang bang! !
Further away, the excited crowd slapped the explosion-proof shields frantically, rushing into the cordon like waves.
Captured by the camera, a demonstrator brandishing a baseball bat was pushed to the ground, but even if his hands were twisted, he wriggled and struggled crazily on the ground, cursing harshly, without even noticing his skin was worn out.
Looking at his crazy eyes full of bloodshot eyes, Li Rui could detect something wrong even through the screen.
And such a confrontation and protest is just a microcosm of the beacon in the North American continent!
I don't know when, a certain peculiar negative emotion began to spread on the earth, and more or less extreme activities occurred in various countries.
Purple and black lights flickered around him, and Li Rui turned around, just in time to see Aya Xiyi's solemn expression.
"I'm back? I just saw the protest over there, what's going on?"
Pointing to the news on TV, Li Rui took her to sit next to her.
"Basically it has been confirmed that this is the first large-scale [psychological plague] in nearly a thousand years."
Tsk tut, Aya Xiyi frowned irritably.
"Originally, with the decline of the aura, this extraordinary plague has long been extinct, but the concentration of the aura has increased a little, and they have begun to resurrect!"
"Can it be traced back to the source? Finding the source of the pollution may be able to produce the corresponding ‘vaccine’."
"[Spirit Plague] is not a biological virus. It can not only spread through physical contact at close distances, but also spread at long distances based on spiritual connections. Sounds, images, words, paintings... can all be tools for them to expand memes. It is difficult to trace the source."
Speaking of this, the sadness on Aya Kiyi's face became even thicker.
Her novels, fan dramas, animations, and movies are expected to be hit by an unprecedented wave...
And Li Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although the ancient [psychological plague] was also terrifying, it was inconvenient for transportation at that time, and the people at the bottom were tied to the land within a radius of tens of miles for almost their entire lives. The biggest entertainment was to create children in the dark.
But now?
Convenient transportation has turned the world into a global village. What is even more frightening is the emergence of an unprecedented information dissemination tool-the Internet!
The exchange of ideas has never been so convenient as at this moment, the sacred Intelnet links each of us!
After a shudder, Li Rui couldn't imagine how terrifying the spread of "Plague of Mind" under the spread of the Internet!
"However, we have narrowed the target range through causal backtracking, and it should have been spread from the Pacific base of [Mechanical Cult] at first."
"However, because most of the people in the base are extraordinary people and have certain resistance to [Psychic Plague], it was the cities near the base port that broke out first."
Speaking of this, Aya Xiyi was refreshed.
"Now [the Security Council] has begun to trace the causal line of all personnel on the base, and maybe we can find clues soon."
"The Taiping base of [Mechanical Sect]... I remember there are close to 100,000 people, right?"
Li Rui twitched his lips, not optimistic about Aya Kiyi's optimism.
Only a senior high-level mage can skillfully use the techniques related to the cause and effect line. Such a talent may not be able to gather 1,000 people after searching the entire earth!
And remove the suppression that cannot be mobilized in each secret realm, the retreat, and the non-response to signs...
There may be less than 100 people who can really come in handy.
It is conceivable that it is necessary to rely on such a small scale to investigate the Pacific base of 100,000 people, maybe they have not found a clue when the plague is eliminated!
"Can't you trace the source with violence? Use prophecy and divination to directly target the source!"
"No, all the causal artifacts of each family are used, and they are all covered by a thick layer of chaotic fog. So now some people suspect that this [Mind Plague] is not a natural generation."
"Is the evil doing things again?"
"It's not like, we even used artifacts like the [Good Fortune Jade Plate]. If it's just a Cthulhu, we can find some clues, but what we actually'see' is pure disorder and chaos, if it weren't for the artifact. The buffer, the old guys who were observing will have to be seriously injured if they die!"
Hearing this, Li Rui's heart jumped and silently gave up the idea of ​​spoiling with [Observer].
The second [Holy Grail War] is about to enter the final stage. If the soul is injured at this time, maybe Lei Brother will be a hank for another hundred years...
Forget it, wait until the [Holy Grail War] is over, let's deal with this matter, anyway, it's not in a hurry.
That’s right, although the [Mind Plague] looks terrifying, it is actually very difficult to cause direct physiological changes.
It is more by distorting the spirit of intelligent creatures, making them gradually fall into madness.
It will take a long gestation period before it can finally form a "plague disaster" sweeping the earth!
The collective irrational behavior of many ancient dynasties at the end of the ancient times is often behind the [psychological plague].
It's just that with the decline of spiritual energy, these ancient extraordinary disasters have long been extinct from the earth, and only a few words can be found in the classics.
"By the way, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and those old guys even asked me to ask you if the [Secret Banquet Association] is a mess, or if there are any clues."
Aya Xiyi suddenly remembered something, smiled, and looked at Li Rui jokingly.
"..."
what? The ghost is myself!
Li Rui couldn't help but sighed, "The world is difficult..."
With the rejuvenation of spiritual energy, human beings feel more and more of their own insignificance. The weirdness that only appeared in ancient books has come to one by one. This race that has been at the top of the food chain for thousands of years has finally felt the pressure of survival again!
The extraordinary curtain gradually rises, and in a vague way, the more high-end predators have shown their hideous outlines, seeming to be eyeing humans.
Silver species, gold species, diamond species, mythological species...
The ancient alien species have never been extinct. They only retreated to the depths of the secret realm due to environmental reasons. Once the tide surges, they will soon be able to descend on the earth again, causing waves of extraordinary disasters!
At the same time, memetic pollution such as [Spirit of Mind] and [Seal Object] poses no less threat to humans than the former!
As the Lord of the Earth, humans... have never been so fragile!
Seeing Li Rui's worried eyes, Aya Xiyi thought he was worried about [Spirit Plague] and patted the back of his hand lightly.
I started working overtime on Monday, which is a good start...
It was too late to come back. I originally wanted to grumble directly, but I forced a chapter to come out. If I had time tomorrow, I would add it three times.
Not to mention, I am going to dinner, my stomach has started to cramp. (′」∠)
