Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 58: Death by Shame
The Holy Land of Boxing, this city is the fundamental city built by the Boxing God Sect over several decades after it occupied the territory.
This city is almost entirely based on the Quanshinto industry. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and everything else are basically related to Quanshinto.
Only some specialties from foreign cities or materials that require a large amount of foreign trade can gain a foothold in this city.
There are tens of millions of people living in this city.
Countless people are born, grow old, get sick and die here, but the average happiness level of the residents is still quite high.
Of course, most people are just ordinary animals.
The importance of population has been reduced a lot. As long as there are sufficient supplies, the population can be replenished quickly.
It’s only the elites who matter.
This is why Louis was able to go to other major cities and massacre at will.
A traveler with a resonance rate of 30 % and intercontinental strength, once going crazy, can also unleash city-destroying destructive power.
As long as he did not touch the forces of those travelers, no one would stop him from massacring the city.
Especially Louis was not in a normal state at that time. Who would fight with a madman?
In addition, the Holy Land of Fist Scriptures has been drawing personnel from various forces these days, and the defense capabilities of other cities in Haidong District are not high.
However, Louis's behavior was considered taboo. In recent days, all major cities have expressed that they will take precautions for a period of time regarding such things.
Especially in the Holy Land of Boxing, there are many more mounted police .
Although these mounted police are not as strong as the previous ones who were able to form a chain formation, they can at least deal with some emergencies.
What happened this time attracted a lot of mounted police.
In the holy land of boxing, there are boxing gyms of all sizes.
Every year, many people who practice boxing come here to study further.
The fighting spirit was exceptionally prevalent.
This time, the problem occurred in an ordinary boxing gym.
As Louis was on his way, the incident made its way to the local Internet.
Someone secretly filmed the video and described the cause of the incident in vivid detail.
In short, it is a matter of senior brothers and junior brothers fighting over junior sisters.
The younger sister enjoys the care of the older brother, and also likes the pleasure of having him take her out to play everywhere.
So she became a sea queen, hanging around two men , both of whom thought she was their girlfriend, and the other guy failed to get her, so she kept juggling between the two.
Then tonight, the senior brother drank some wine and sneaked into the junior sister's room, ready for some passion.
In short, the scene was a mess.
Countless other brothers who were resting thought they had encountered the enemy, so they came to support.
The junior sister felt too ashamed to face anyone, so she drew her sword and was about to commit suicide. As to whether it was real suicide or a fake one, only the junior sister herself knew.
If things ended here, it would just be some melodramatic love between a man and a woman.
The video actually starts from this time. The three of them are in a stalemate in the room very naturally.
The junior sister held the knife against her neck and said tearfully that she really liked the two men and asked why the two men could not live in peace.
Now comes the key point. The junior sister succeeded in committing suicide, but not completely.
When the junior sister was trying to commit suicide, the two brothers were close by and wanted to stop her, but for some unknown reason, when they were trying to grab the knife, they used too much force and chopped off the junior sister's head.
Then the junior sister smiled and asked her fellow disciples: "Who of you wants my head, who wants my body?"
The next moment, the continuous uploading of the secretly filmed video was interrupted.
Obviously, there was a problem in that boxing gym.
Then the situation got out of control and huge problems arose in the entire area. A large number of people died inexplicably, but they were not completely dead. Even though they suffered serious and fatal injuries, they were still moving.
However, the thinking of these people who have not yet died has become increasingly strange. They will follow some of their ideas during their lifetime and do some seemingly "normal" things.
Therefore, that block is now in chaos, with countless strange dead people moving around here.
The first mounted police to arrive, as well as some travelers who happened to be in the area, tried to kill these dead people, but found that it was not very effective.
The spread of this phenomenon is not due to the actions of dead people, but is spreading in another way.
Louis could already see this kind of dead person at this time.
He even witnessed the other party's transformation process with his own eyes.
The other party seemed to have received the news and rushed out of his house, blending in unnoticeably among the relatively large crowd.
Then when he was about to drive, he seemed to have noticed something, lowered his head and rushed towards a pillar without saying a word, his brains splattering out.
Then, the body with half of its head missing stood up again and walked towards a distance, causing screams.
"An emotional force?" Louis naturally gained something from reading all the way.
There is a force similar to some kind of emotion that is spreading with a certain center as its source.
As long as the diffusion process is selected by this force, it will be detonated together.
Once detonated, the power of that emotion will be further enhanced and then spread further.
At this time, those who were not completely dead were just empty shells, and their mission had been completed.
Therefore, eradicating these dead bodies has not been able to prevent the spread of this phenomenon.
"And the source of this power is gradually fading." Louis closed his eyes and sensed carefully.
Diluting the source is not a good thing. On the contrary, it may be a sign of a real outbreak of this incident.
"Once this phenomenon is no longer restricted by the source, it will spread to the entire city in a short period of time, and even spread to other places to a certain extent."
"But it's not realistic to expect it to continue to spread."
“Therefore, this phenomenon is probably a city-level weird phenomenon.”
"After a while, all the suitable targets died, and the phenomenon gradually faded away without a target to trigger it."
"It's estimated that only about 10,000 people died."
"But the other party probably has follow-up measures and can use this phenomenon as a cornerstone to create an even greater disaster."
While Louis was conducting research, someone posted the root cause and operating principle of this phenomenon online.
"ashamed!"
"Once you have an unforgettable shameful experience, when you are affected by the power fluctuations, you will be controlled by the shame and commit suicide."
"The last remaining body will function in some way to make up for the shame."
The person who released this information is a coach who led the team to participate in the competition. He has done some research in this area.
In his words, this is the mixed power of memes spreading.
Power is the main source, but memes are also spreading.
Especially the source of this incident, the junior sister who was fought over by fellow disciples, the whole process of the incident has spread to the Internet.
Therefore, it is estimated that imitators have already appeared in other places.
However, since those imitators do not have that power involved, nothing strange will happen.
Sure enough, after careful investigation, everyone found that the number of suicides was soaring in the Holy Land of Boxing and the surrounding areas that were still paying attention to this matter.
And most of those who commit suicide are junior sea kings or sea queens. They don't raise fish naturally and feel ashamed.
Therefore, after paying attention to this incident, he chose to commit suicide, and it was an imitation suicide.
Before committing suicide, if you have your feet in several boats, you will split yourself into several pieces.
It is said that he has jumped into a meat grinder. It can only be said that he is dating so many people but still feels ashamed. He is really not a qualified Aquaman.
As for Lu Bai, hehehe.
Louis smiled and watched the spread of the shame meme carefully.
For example, when a person is sleeping, he suddenly wakes up from a dream in the middle of the night, sits up and slaps himself, wanting to commit suicide, but he does not continue.
Obviously, the power of this meme is not absolute. As long as there is not enough shame or some other factors, this meme can be resisted.
Louis also saw some travelers successfully resist this meme.
Now Louis is not in a hurry to find Zhen Xingming.
This time, the "shame to death" meme incident should not be just Zhen Xingming behind it, although this force still has the taste of dirty earth in it.
But the other party probably sought help, so the style of this incident was somewhat different from Zhen Xingming's style of exploding corpses at the slightest disagreement.
“I guess even if we go to the source, we won’t be able to find Zhen Xingming and the others. This should be a delayed-activation force.” Louis stopped and quietly waited for the other party’s subsequent actions.
Although it may seem cruel to say this, for them now, the death of only tens of thousands of people is completely meaningless.
The deaths of tens of thousands of people were merely a prelude.
The other party must have a backup plan.
On the other side, Lu Bai was also paying attention to this matter.
He has been paying attention to memes for some time.
Because this is related to his Six Desires Incarnation Transformation Plan and the skill of Personal Symbolic Mark.
The personal symbolic mark itself carries Lu Bai's information in the form of a mark.
Memes are roughly the basic units of culture, which are transmitted through non-genetic means, especially imitation.
Lu Bai felt that his next step was to turn his personal symbolic imprint into a meme.
Allow Lu Bai's information to be spread and replicated autonomously.
The sound of bronze green bells ringing in the ears of the Six Desires incarnation, Lu Bai had already planned to transform and upgrade it in this aspect.
It’s just that he hadn’t been able to grasp the key before. Now that there seems to be a reference case method, Lu Bai naturally has to observe it carefully.
