Chapter 168： meme effect

  Chapter 168 Meme Influence

  The players in front of the screen frowned.

  These 6 words in the video made them feel that something was wrong.

like

  The control bureau clears humans...not as crazy as the No. 2 protagonist said

on the contrary

  The players were stunned, they really wanted to find a suitable word, but their poor knowledge of the Control Bureau made it difficult for them to judge whether it was right to eliminate humans.

  So, after thinking about it, they still didn't comment. Instead, I waited for Brother Banana's analysis in the video.

   Soon, the sound continues in the video.

  ['For the sake of the aftermath', these 6 words are the emails sent by the Control Bureau to the global sites. ]

  [Players who have played other works of the only game should know that the Control Bureau is a large and unimaginable supernatural and mysterious organization. The "Control Failure" we are playing now is just one of the stations of the Control Bureau. ]

  [Would a powerful organization like this with military, technology, and a large number of scientific research talents casually send 6 meaningless words to sites around the world? ]

   [Obviously, they won't. That being the case, this sentence has no meaning. ]

  ['things after death' refers to things after a person dies. ]

  [The word "for" can express the purpose or the reason. When this word is used in combination with 'things after death', then it can be interpreted as 'for things after death'. ]

  [In other words, for those who died...]

  [Through the former director who came back from the dead, the Control Bureau learned the secrets of the dead that the living did not know. ]

  [As an organization that controls the supernatural, it will definitely understand and research the world of the dead. ]

  [And the only person in the world who knows the world of the dead is the former director. It is inevitable to cooperate with the experiment. But how to understand the world of the dead? Dying experiments such as hypnosis, suspended animation, and suffocation should be carried out. So we speculate that the former director should have clashed with the control bureau in the cooperation of the experiment, which led to his death. ]

  [Here, if you have different views on the death of the director, you can private message me to discuss, very welcome. ]

  [Okay, then again. For the Control Bureau, what will happen to this abnormality that can cause headaches and hallucinations in living people, and is still tortured by the influence after death? ]

[Control? Or destroy? Or research and so on? You know, the body of the 'God Seal' is under the deep sea crater. Will they not dive? Won't you send someone closer? Unfortunately, we don't know either. ]

  [But we're sure, in the style of the Bureau, being there in person is a given. But what happened next, we don't know, because there are really no clues. ]

  [Because the game did not tell us any effective actions of the Control Bureau on the body of the ‘God Seal’. Therefore, the following analysis is all our guesswork, unofficial explanation. ]

  The players sat upright when they saw this.

   didn't care whether it was interpreted correctly or not.

   Before the official answer came out, Brother Banana and the others were the only ones.

   At this point, in the video, the explanation continues.

  [Before we get started, we must mention something very outrageous—memes. ]

  [At the beginning, because of the soul plan, suicides and resignations occurred at the headquarters of the Control Bureau. And they, too, used memes to prevent suicide and quitting. ]

  [Then what are memes? What kind of magical ability does it have? ]

   [Here, I show you where the meme first appeared. ]

   At this time, a paragraph of words slowly appeared in the video.

  【By order of the Supreme Council of the Bureau of Control, this video has been listed as.】

  【Most-highest-secret-secret】

  【Any unauthorized personnel will be obliterated by ■■■■ memes immediately after accessing this video! If you continue to watch without being inoculated with the appropriate memetic vaccine, you will immediately die from cardiac arrest]

  【You—have—have been—warned—warned—over—】

  【Please confirm that you are an authorized person】

  The players took a closer look, and immediately, no matter whether they had played "Control Failure" or not, the words in front of them were recognized by the players.

  Because this is the opening of the CG trailer of "Out of Control"!

  This kind of pre-broadcast warning, when it was announced at the time, was so unique and novel that the players were impressed.

   Even before the game was released, the trailer alone became popular in all game communities.

   It is said that some people were too scared to watch because of this warning.

   At this moment, Brother Banana spoke.

  ['Meme', first appeared in the opening warning of the "Out of Control" trailer. We can guess from the black blocks above that there are many types of 'memes'. The cardiac arrest in the trailer is just one of them. ]

  [Although this trailer title is a joke of the production team, it also tells us the power of "memes". Also, there are several places in the game where the meme's influence is also present. ]

   As soon as the voice fell, a blue handwritten note appeared in front of the player.

   Above is a super long article.

  But what is intimate is that some of the passages were highlighted with red pens, indicating the emphasis.

  ' Put away your surprise, because I, including all the people who come here, like you, all came through the 0970 cycle experiment. '

  ‘You should be wondering why the circular effect disappears once you get here. '

  'Because of the 'meme' applied here, your cognition has been wrong, and it is conceptually believed that 0970 does not exist. In fact, the characteristics of 0970 have always existed, otherwise people like you would not come here continuously. '

  When the players saw this, they frowned, a little dazed, a little confused.

   For them, this is confusing.

   Brother Banana cleared his throat and spoke in the video.

  [This note was found on the corpse in the dormitory area of ​​the parallel world 'D-10'. ]

  [From here, we can learn again. The so-called 'meme' is something that can affect our human thinking and cognition, making our brains compulsively accept what this 'meme' conveys to us. ]

  [In human terms, 'memes' tell us that 1+1=100, then we really think 1+1=100. 'Memes' tell us we can fly, we really think we can fly, even if you don't have wings, you can't fly... but your brain has been affected to think you can fly. ]

   [Similarly, 'memes' tell you you're going to go into cardiac arrest, so you really might...]

   Brother Banana didn’t finish his sentence, but left something to make people suspicious.

  The players in front of the screen couldn't help feeling a little terrified when they saw this.

   nest…

  Will this thing be too scary...

  Forcibly change people's cognitive thinking, so that if I say what it is, you must think it is what it is.

   This is simply a killer, okay!

  Just as the players were feeling horrified by memes, Brother Banana gave another example.

  [Do you know why the map in the game is so big? In fact, it's also because of the influence of memes. ]

  [In the middle and late game, we will find a note in an employee's office...]

  In the video, a screenshot of the note is displayed.

   That's handwritten content.

  ‘Bastard Maynard! That damned idiot! Because of the modularization of the site area he proposed, the entire site 19 is as big as a maze! I went to get a spare office key and walked for more than an hour! It only took 5 minutes before I stepped on the horse! When can those **** in engineering take down this meme! ? What a waste of my time! '

  Seeing this, players finally understand why the game map is so big...

   Turns out to be a 'meme'...

   Brother Banana's voice sounded at this moment.

  [From this note, we can learn that the scope of influence of 'memes' can be very large, so large that the entire site 19 people are affected. ]

  ['meme' says your site 19 is too small, I say it's big. As a result, people throughout the site feel that it is very large. Including you in front of the screen too. ]

  [This is why Site 19 in the parallel world has 'shrunk', because that is the real site scale. The one we explored in the game, was influenced by 'memes'. ]

I see!

  The players suddenly realized.

   This meme…

  This setting...

   It's awesome...

   At this time, in the video, all the things faded away, and the game scene of "Control Failure" appeared.

   Then, Brother Banana spoke.

  [Now that we know the effect of 'meme', it can explain how the Bureau works against 'it' in human consciousness. ]

  [Note, I still say that, because the clues are not complete. The following are all our personal guesses, not official final explanations. ]

   Originally it was a big chapter, but the second half of it was too messy and needed to be sorted out. Take a chapter out first. The next chapter will be changed slowly.
