Deborah frowned slightly and gestured: "Tell me in detail."
Behind Luo Fu, the people from the research team had only just caught up and projected a large amount of research data onto the screen.
"President, look, this is the current situation of Shang Dao's holographic warehouse."
On the chart, the blue curve was active for a short period of time after it was turned on, and then suddenly went down, falling into a strange calm.
"The mental power device in the holographic warehouse has been interfered with and is not functioning at all. But at the same time, Director Shang's mental power fluctuations are active and normal."
The researcher said, "This suggests that... there is another force guiding her mental energy."
Although Shang Jingyan was at home, she was very careful to entrust her personal safety to Deboler's people for protection. The terminal on her wrist would transmit her vital signs in real time. There were also special forces protecting her outside her house.
Otherwise, if the brain worm took advantage of this opportunity to control a person to act as a human bomb and die together with her, everything would be over.
"We speculate that perhaps a brain worm bypassed the defense line and took advantage of the gap when Shang Dao logged into the game to access the mental network."
"And from the moment Shang Dao opened her eyes, the 'game' she saw... might be different from everyone else's. It was a world that the brainworm wanted to present to her."
“That world continues to draw more people into it.”
It's not just Shang Jingyan. The same situation exists in the holographic warehouses of many dream builders with her as the center. The silence spreads like an infection, and there is silence wherever it goes.
Luo Fu had only heard the general conclusion before, and was slightly shocked when she heard this: "The split second of logging in? Can this also be exploited?"
With the current technological level of holographic warehouses, that moment can be almost ignored.
So they had considered it before, but they didn't worry too much.
Moreover, even if Director Shang’s mental network is temporarily interrupted, isn’t the collective mental wall of humanity still there?
Didn't people successfully stop the brain worm two or three months before this? How did that one get around the defense line?
Debler thought of something and said thoughtfully, "Unless its level exceeds that of most of its kind."
Luo Fu was stunned. Several researchers looked at each other and thought of the current academic research on the social structure of the brain worm community.
——Based on the facts observed by humans so far, the concept of this race is very strange. They will protect young members of the same race and provide for the old members of the same race, but it seems that they are all equal to each other, without power and class relations.
The report previously submitted by Shang Jingyan answered mankind's questions: If brain worms can reincarnate and live forever as individuals, then there is no essential difference between being young, middle-aged, or old; all brain worms are the same.
So how do they make collective decisions? Is it that all the brainworms’ “shared brain” selects a plan that all individuals agree on?
A team tried to receive the mental power of the brain worm in reverse, and obtained an important message from the memory of a certain experimental subject:
Brain worms have a leader.
There are only two classes within their species, the leader, and the rest of the brainworms.
When a collective decision cannot reach a consensus, the leader will make the final decision.
As for the title of the leader, the brainworms communicate with each other through mental power. They have no written language. If the title is equivalent to human Chinese characters, the closest word is -
Wa.
So, the brain worm that quietly tampered with Shang Jingyan's cognition...could it be "Wa"?
Luo Fu was the first to admit her mistake: "We didn't consider this before."
In the memory of that brain worm, Wa was only responsible for making judgments, so they thought it would not appear on its own initiative, just like the ant king only stayed in the ant cave.
Some scholars even believe that Wa may just be a symbolic concept rather than a real existence.
They were proven wrong.
This is also because humans currently lack understanding of brain worms. In a sense, they are actually fighting an unprepared battle.
Before this, humans had no idea that brain worms had such means.
A secretary asked hesitantly, "So what should we do now?"
They had long anticipated that the brain worm would take action, but they did not anticipate the current situation.
The brainworms knew that if they invaded Shang Jingyan's mental space, they might be counterattacked, so they chose to fight in a roundabout way.
"The good news is that, for some reason, we also observed a fluctuation showing that the brain worm could have directly invaded Director Shang's spiritual realm, but gave up halfway."
A researcher pushed his glasses and said, "If it's just a hint, then there's still hope. If Director Shang can find out that something is wrong in his dream, then the brainworm's work is in vain."
——If Shang Jingyan were here, he would be able to answer her: It’s not that the brain worms gave up halfway, but that they couldn’t do it.
This was because the "system body" that was supposed to be used as the invasion medium was stripped away by her and thrown away.
Luo Fu only talked about the better case scenario. What she didn’t say was, what if Shang Jingyan didn’t notice something was wrong?
If she accepted the brain worm's suggestion, then it is conceivable that she would be used and become a hindrance to humanity!
Given Shang Jingyan's level of mental strength, the consequences would be disastrous.
Deborah said, "What do you call this? If I can't beat you, I'll try to get you to join?"
She was still able to maintain her composure and even half-joke, but the people around her didn't have the fortitude to agree with her.
The brain worm adopted a top-down attack method, first targeting the core Shang Jingyan, and then the dream builders who jointly constructed this spiritual network.
It can be predicted that if they all fall, the ordinary people in the alliance will suffer!
The situation has not yet reached its most critical moment. All the dream builders involved know what a dangerous job they are doing. They have signed confidentiality agreements in advance and some have even written suicide notes for this purpose.
Luo Fu thought of Shang Jingyan’s suicide note.
At first she didn't want to write: "If I fail, then the situation will be serious enough, and it won't matter if there is no suicide note. I won't write it."
After they repeatedly emphasized their request, Shang Jingyan wrote it reluctantly.
There were only two simple sentences, the first one was about official business: Don't be discouraged, we still have you, and we still have people coming.
The second was personal: Mom, I’m so sorry to disappoint you.
After reading it, Luo Fu felt a sudden lump in her throat.
At this moment, there was an electronic screen on the wall playing a live broadcast of the "Lord of the Stars" game by several anchors, with screams and laughter, which was out of tune with the atmosphere in the office.
Most of the game players have already found their phones on their planets, contacted other players, and are trying to get out of the first predicament.
No one knows about Director Shang’s situation.
When the day comes when that "fake world" spreads to ordinary people... Luo Fu hardly dares to imagine it. That scene makes her suffocate.
But they must think that it is their duty to prepare for the worst outcome in advance.
“Are we going to make an announcement asking players to stop playing Stellaris?”
Rove asked.
Deborah shook his head: "No need. For ordinary people, it doesn't matter whether there is a holographic warehouse as a medium or not. It is easy for brain worms to invade."
Calling a halt hastily would only cause chaos and panic... Although brain worms don't like the emotion of fear, just because they don't like it doesn't mean they will stop hurting panicked humans.
"You don't have to worry too much. Xiaoyan is stronger than you think. I believe she can get out of this predicament."
Deborah stood up and said decisively, "We just need to do what we are supposed to do according to the plan."
She wrote a number on the paper: 7.
"We'll wait for her for seven days. If Xiaoyan still doesn't wake up after seven days, we'll activate the backup plan."
Luo Fu suddenly realized that even after hearing the "bad news", Deble had never shown much worry.
She believed in Shang Jingyan, and this trust was as solid as a rock when she chose to fall asleep more than a year ago.
Luo Fu was infected by this emotion, and her heart suddenly calmed down. She nodded and said yes.
Her gaze once again turned to the projection screen on the wall, where a March Star anchor had successfully avoided the pursuit of the underwater monster, floated to the surface, and was looking for land.
Luo Fu couldn't help but wonder, what kind of world does the brain worm want Director Shang to see?
False world.
Shang Jingyan felt that he was not shooting in the dark.
On the way here, she had already surfed the Internet to get a general idea of the literary works of this world, and it was not that there were no horror films.
There are a little bit of every style here, but they are all in their infancy. In short, the development of the entertainment industry is quite poor.
She used a question sentence, but had no intention of letting You Yao refuse. She directly started to introduce what a horror movie is and asked about his role preference and performance style. It seemed that she wanted to tailor a script for him directly.
You Yao was stunned when he heard this. When a dish was served, he blurted out, "Miss Shang, you, you are really... a talent!"
I don't know how he developed his eloquence, but this impromptu performance actually moved him.
"Then it's settled. When we get to the capital, you'll be my leading male role."
Shang Jingyan also said that he was hungry and started to eat. The system took advantage of this opportunity and went crazy: [Host, why do you want to make a horror movie? My database contains love skills from all over the world. You can use these to make countless wonderful and touching love movies...]
It was halfway through its speech when it suddenly felt something was wrong and was almost taken in by Shang Jingyan. [No, why did you think of making a movie?!]
She could obviously just be a crown prince!
Shang Jingyan said confidently: [As the crown prince, can’t I do whatever I want? ]
The system is slightly broken: ...
What you said makes sense.
Shang Jingyan blocked the system with one sentence, and then said: [I have dreamed of becoming a dream builder since I was a child. As for the choice of style, I didn’t watch many romance movies in my previous life. The ones I came into contact with were all horror-style. If I want to shoot it myself, of course it will be horror. ]
[Besides, excitement is what I like, and love is just a change of pace. ]
system:…………
It was almost mad at Shang Jingyan's scumbag remarks, but it couldn't find any reason to refute them.
Shang Jingyan did what he said. He quickly filled his stomach and prepared to write the outline under You Yao's shocked gaze.
Before she even started writing, a name popped up in her mind: After marrying the evil god.
Shang Jingyan:?
She usually gets the inspiration first and then names it, but this time it was different.
After the name emerged, the plot twists and turns followed naturally, as if she had known it.
eccentric.
She murmured in her heart but remained expressionless.
"Don't write this yet, let's take a look at your competitors."
You Yao handed her a stack of documents. He felt very strange. How come he and the future crown prince had become so familiar with each other in such a short time? He even wanted to make some jokes.
Shang Jingyan took a quick glance and saw two names: Hua Feitian and Su Shudong.
He is the candidate for crown prince in the royal family.
The game "Lord of the Stars" itself does not set names for the competitors, it seems that the world automatically fills in the names here.
But... Shang Jingyan pondered over these two names. Why did she feel they looked so familiar?
Moreover, the first name feels friendly, but the second one feels disgusting.
She studied it silently.
You Yao booked Qingxun Restaurant for half a day, so the two of them could spend the night here.
The restaurant even had an indoor sports area, and before we knew it, it was already evening.
"If you want to see the Three Moons, the best view is from a high place."
You Yao put his hands in his pockets and stood in front of the French window, sighing, "This is definitely the clearest place to enjoy the moon in the whole city!"
Outside the window, the shadow of the moon has appeared on the sky covered with fiery clouds, in light yellow, orange and rust red.
If you are someone who suffers from gigantic fear, you will be so scared that your legs will go weak when you see this scene.
Their vision was too high, and the buildings below seemed extremely small. The three moons were bigger than each other, and if you stared at them for too long, you would almost think they were going to fall over.
Especially the rust-red satellite, which is the smallest in size. When the three moons meet, it will be in the front, against the light-colored background, like an eyeball with a blood-red iris.
Shang Jingyan looked around and saw that all the guests in the restaurant had walked to the window as if possessed.
She only intended to complete the system task and was not very interested in the scenery itself, so she lowered her head and refreshed her computer.
Many websites have started live broadcasts facing the sky, with comments flashing one after another:
【What a beautiful moon! 】
【Those who see the March Link will definitely have good luck! 】
[How lucky I am to be able to see such a beautiful moonlight! ]
The shapes of the three moons overlapped little by little, and the sky darkened.
But at this moment, Shang Jingyan suddenly received a group message on her computer. She clicked it and took a closer look, and was slightly stunned.
Xia Chiyi: [Yanyan, where are you? Remember, don't look at the moon, you must not look at the moon! ! ]
The plot of the moon was inspired by an online joke. I don’t remember the original version very clearly. If you are interested, you can search “Don’t look at the moon”.
