Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 406: Faith

Another city,

In a narrow and dirty basement with turbid air, in front of a computer desk full of various sundries,

The unkempt Mule frowned slightly, looking at the friend chat box in his sight.

"Sheng Nan Wang..."

The intelligence broker scratched his hair. At this moment, the mule was covered with all kinds of extraordinary items.

Jade bracelets, metal necklaces, stone rings, wooden statues...

These items are defensive props,

There are both physical defense and automatic teleportation when damaged.

There are also items that can defend against various damages at the spiritual level.

Mule thought about it carefully, "All materials cost 30 game coins, you can give 20 first."

"Okay."

Li Ang didn't talk nonsense, and turned the reward over.

Fifteen minutes later, Mule sent several documents, which were complicated and detailed.

Including but not limited to the chat history of the post,

The personal information of the netizens participating in the chat,

Before being discovered and taken away by the Special Administrative Region Bureau, the netizens' speech records on other social platforms,

Concept map of meme delivery...

Li Ang read these documents carefully and accidentally discovered a fact.

Shengnan Wang was originally just made up,

The poster clearly explained to his friends on other social platforms that the whole story is a false dream,

There is no nightmare of giving birth to the King of Nan at all.

In addition, those netizens who claimed to have had similar dreams under the post,

Or follow along with the booing,

Or it is to graft the elements about Shengnan Wang into the vague nightmare in his own memory, and he should talk to other people.

The birth of King Nan is not an unusual event,

It's just that netizens who are keen on urban legends spontaneously push for a carnival together.

Since the post contains some classic elements that constitute urban legends (suspense, thriller, multiple witnesses),

Through the contributions of netizens, it becomes a story that is interesting enough to be recreated.

At the same time, the vagueness of the words when the netizens spread it again added a touch of mystery to the story, prompting more people to take the initiative to explore out of curiosity.

Ultimately, the story of Shengnan Wang became a freshly-baked man-made legend.

If things just stop at this stage, then Shengnan Wang will at most become a well-known horror story like America's slender black shadow,

More likely, or disappearance,

Or become a recognized slogan that some urban legend lovers can laugh at when they hear it.

But now, the whole thing has become an anomaly,

Many ordinary people have symptoms of memetic pollution,

Some netizens who participated in the discussion have been summoned by the Special Affairs Bureau to the base for investigation.

Li Ang pondered for a moment and asked the mule, "Apart from me, are there any other players who bought relevant information from you?"

"..."

The mule didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Yes, there are many."

A lot?

Li Ang frowned, "Judging from the concept map of meme transmission, there are at most a few thousand people who are contaminated by memes of level 4 or even level 5?

Not even 10,000 people, the scope of influence is too small.

And the anomalous meme isn't dangerous yet. "

"At present, there is no harm."

The mule replied: "However, you should also know the concept of mind power, right?

Many occult scholars believe, 'As more and more people believe in some stories, false things will become real things because of the accumulation of human mind power. ’

This kind of argument actually makes some sense, excluding the primate arrogance hidden in it.

Because the power of mind is the power of faith.

Some anomalies can only survive if people believe in them. "

Li Ang was stunned when he heard the words, and subconsciously thought of a real case on the player forum.

A month ago, an unusual event occurred on a small island in the South Pacific. A bird shot down an American airliner that flew near the island.

In terms of appearance, this bird is no different from the grey gull that is widely distributed in the South Pacific - the only difference is that this grey gull is really big, with a wingspan of 500 meters.

The Global Occult Coalition immediately blocked the news and launched an investigation.

However, the fighter planes they flew over were all shot down by giant grey gulls without exception. All man-made weapons seemed to be unable to cause fatal damage to grey gulls - fortunately, the giant bird only lived around the island.

In the end, the Global Occult Coalition relied on two agents who snorkeled and climbed onto the island, delivering important information back.

A little more than a month ago, a plague broke out among the isolated indigenous tribes on this small island, killing the tribe's shaman and a large number of residents in a very short time,

Subsequently, some residents discovered anomalies,

A huge bird figure appeared in the mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to hunt down those natives who entered the deep mountains alone.

As the disease spreads and the population dwindles, the grey gull grows in size, and eventually even ignores the spears and bows of tribal warriors and flies into the village to hunt humans.

The remaining indigenous people can only hide in every corner of the island, trying to avoid being discovered by the giant grey gull.

After investigation, the Global Occult Coalition discovered murals left in caves by countless generations of tribal shamans,

According to the information on the mural,

When the shamans first landed on this island thousands of years ago, they discovered the grey gulls so huge that they covered the sky,

They were afraid of this bird and used a special method to seal its power, making it extremely small, no different from ordinary grey gulls.

As long as the more people believe in the existence of grey gulls, the more people will tell the story of grey gulls,

The grey gull's power will be imprisoned forever.

On the contrary, if there are fewer people who remember the nature of the grey gull, the grey gull will grow bigger and bigger, and even return to the appearance of a thousand years ago, covering the sky and the sun.

At first the Global Occult Coalition was reluctant to believe,

An indigenous tribe with less than a thousand people could actually interfere with the abnormal monster itself with a wingspan of 500 meters, and even fight against it through faith and bind it.

This doesn't follow any logic at all.

However, belief is such a thing that does not conform to conventional logic.

At the end of the matter, the Global Occult Coalition still tried to solve the grey gull and contained it,

The way to contain it is to find some indigenous people from a distant island,

Through the occult ritual,

Telling those natives to be the natives of the island and telling them the nature of the grey gull - it worked, and the grey gull shrunk in size and eventually became a regular-sized seabird,

Imprisoned in the Global Occult Coalition's local outpost on the island.

"Believe in order to exist."

The mule sent a message: "King Shengnan, as a purely fictional urban legend, has turned into an abnormal event. I'm not sure, but the final direction of this matter..."

Li Ang looked at the chat box hanging in his sight, squinted his eyes, and tapped the table with his knuckles.

This is very strange, as a mule as an intelligence broker, he usually doesn't talk to customers so much - he is not a game chat for a hundred dollars an hour.

Perhaps, the mule is afraid...

Li Ang's eyes lit up, and he sent a question that crossed the line.

"Those who bought information from you about King Shengnan, what do they want to do?"

After the question was asked, the chat box was silent for a long time, and finally a line of words appeared.

"That's a bit out of line with the ethics of an intelligence broker... Forget it,

Some players seem to think that they might be able to take advantage of King Shengnan.

Or, enter the dream of King Shengnan and trigger an abnormal event,

Or, take away the huge amount of psychic power that gave birth to the King of Nan,

Or, directly hold King Shengnan himself..."

The mule sent a message, and immediately added regretfully: "I shouldn't have said so much,

There are many people who are eyeing Shengnan Wang. In addition to Lone Wolf, there are many hidden organizations.

I can't even guess their plans. "

Li Ang frowned, "Why did you tell me this?"

"You are also infected with anomalous memes, right?"

Mule said bluntly: "At the beginning of the Shengnanwang incident, I, who specialized in collecting all kinds of information, had already been contaminated with memes,

As an intelligence dealer, I see more than the average player.

The power of belief, cannot be explained by logic, elusive, unpredictable,

In my opinion, those who try to understand anomalies they can't understand are completely self-defeating.

Rather than letting them interfere with anomalous memes on their own accord and end up affecting me,

I might as well tell you this wise man, more information - maybe this will give me a little more life.

Yes, the above content will not be charged again. "

Speaking of which, the mule ended the friend communication, leaving Li Ang alone, staring at the computer screen that was playing a boring variety show.

Suddenly the ~IndoMTL.com~ system alert sounded.
