Chapter 392: Three Parts

Wu Pifu's character is pure and direct. He has never liked to fake things or act for show; this really does not fit his nature.

However, this does not mean he is a fool.

The situation in front of him is already clear at a glance.

Whether it is because of blood feuds, or because the Thirteen Singularities Company once angered both gods and men, or because of future interest entanglements, or because of the root pollution behind the Thirteen Singularities Company.

Anyway, the current Thirteen Singularities Company can be said to be shouted at by everyone.

And leaving aside some of the deepest things the Thirteen Singularities Company might be hiding, they are actually no better than stray dogs now. Especially since they dare not truly go deep into the roots to which their singularity technology belongs, and because of the existence of Chu Minghao and Liang Min, they dare not float up to the real world. Stuck in this neither-up-nor-down state, from Wu Pifu's perception, the pollution on them has begun to erode and spread toward the consciousness and spiritual level.

Extraordinary is pollution; this is one of the biggest cognitions of humanity's exploration of the Dream World so far. The entire Dream World is still in a mystery, including the layering of the Dream World, the origin of the Dream World, the root of extraordinary power, the source of pollution, what the root is, etc. These are all unknown.

However, humanity now at least knows that as long as they are on the real Gaia, or in the current Sanctuary, the pollution on them will be gradually suppressed and cleared, including curses, memes, non-serious distortion, etc.

Compared to the Human Revolution Alliance where Liang Min has returned, and the Human Government with Chu Minghao sitting in town, the days of the remnants of the Thirteen Singularities Company are very difficult. Both the upper and lower worlds are enemies, and they are not pleasing on both sides. Humans are enemies, and non-humans are also enemies.

Wu Pifu saw it very clearly. Every one of them here is acting.

The twenty-plus company remnants are acting because they yearn to be whitewashed, yearn to return to the human camp, and yearn to be able to stand in the sun.

Chu Minghao and Liang Min are acting because in a situation where it is not a life-and-death struggle, and with Wu Pifu as a buffer between them and ordinary people, and between them and the company, they are not necessarily going to kill the company. Among them, there are many high-end elite talents, and also the medium-to-high-level combat power that humans currently lack the most. As long as the company does not become dark and crazy in the future, then accepting them back is not a big problem.

Even the other two piles of people watching the show are acting...

They are all acting for him!

Creating a scene of wanting to kill the company remnants, creating a situation where the company remnants have nowhere to go, and then Chu Minghao and Liang Min coming forward on the spot, immediately wanting to sanction the emergency screen, just to make him stand up and speak.

As long as he speaks, it is equivalent to him standing on the stage for the company remnants with his own identity. The company remnant members must remember this great favor, and politically speaking, the company remnants will belong to his forces in the future. If one prospers, all prosper; if one is damaged, all are damaged. And once they betray, the responsibility of cleaning up the sect will naturally be Wu Pifu's.

There are many twists and turns in this, and Wu Pifu couldn't figure it out for a while, but he could at least see that everyone was acting for him.

But for this play, he really had to act once, because he had promised these company remnant personnel.

The next thing was very simple. Wu Pifu frankly stated in front of everyone that he would guarantee these company remnants. From now on, as long as they don't do anything illegal or undisciplined, he hopes Chu Minghao and Liang Min will let them go, because they saved some personnel in this rescue operation and also helped him enter the battlefield.

Most importantly, Wu Pifu owed them a favor.

With Wu Pifu's participation, this big play naturally reached a perfect ending.

Chu Minghao and Liang Min both warned sternly, not to mention various pressures and restrictions in language and behavior, and also warned the company remnants that they needed to atone for their past, and they must not have any self-misunderstanding. If there are any anti-human behaviors or anti-government behaviors, they will definitely be severely punished.

And the company remnants naturally cried bitterly, "a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold," each swearing to heaven that they would reform and be good people...

"Is it necessary?"

Wu Pifu brought the three little animals in a coma, followed by Chu Minghao and Liang Min. The three left the main force and sat down on a random hilltop. Only then did Wu Pifu show an expression of impatience and incomprehension.

Chu Minghao was still laughing heartily. He shook his head and said: "It's not necessary for individuals, but for the collective, this play where everyone knows each other's minds must be performed. In fact, isn't this a protection for them, letting them feel at ease?"

Wu Pifu nodded slightly.

Indeed, verbal promises are too empty, but if there was this big play, whether it was the three hundred people of the Human Government watching, or the dozens of people of the Human Revolution Alliance watching, with this encounter, these twenty-plus company remnants had the prerequisite for returning, and would not be opposed by the whole people.

Chu Minghao then looked at Liang Min and said: "Then what about you? Are you not planning to bring the Human Revolution Alliance back?"

Liang Min shook his head and said: "Not for the time being... Originally, there was no such place. I planned to join forces with you after rescuing you from the weekend. Now is the critical moment for human civilization to transform and recover. Our dispute over ideas and paths should not continue at this time. At least let human civilization transform into a civilization that adapts to the extraordinary and technology of the Dream World first. But now that I know the Final Producer is not dead, the situation is completely different."

Wu Pifu frowned and said: "I definitely hacked it to death."

Chu Minghao and Liang Min both shook their heads. Chu Minghao said: "That was only a part of the Final Producer's essence, a relatively large part. Its essence is still entrenched in the imaginary space. You should know this, but there is another thing. Now you are also qualified to know... The physical entity of the Final Producer might have survived until today since the Final Producer plan was destroyed."

"What?" Wu Pifu was full of question marks, and he asked without understanding.

Chu Minghao sighed and described the general information about the Fourth War, when he killed his parents with his own hands, and the death of Xu Wanfang. Then he said: "At that time, my emotions were surging, especially the negative impact brought by killing my parents with my own hands. The pain in my consciousness almost drowned me. In that situation, I almost couldn't unfold the Super-Brain Heaven and Earth. Then the physical entity of the Final Producer appeared. That was not the clone of the Final Producer's imaginary essence that we faced this time, but a real flesh-and-blood entity. At that time, he unfolded the Super-Brain Heaven and Earth toward me, trying to swallow me, and I had almost no power to fight back, only struggling bitterly..."

When he said this, Chu Minghao had incomparable pain on his face. This pain was very familiar to Wu Pifu... just like the pain when he parted with his own parents. No, Chu Minghao's pain was even greater...

Liang Min took over the topic and said: "But it's a pity that the physical entity of the Final Producer has an anti-meme effect, so Chu Minghao forgot everything afterward. He even forgot how Xu Wanfang died, which triggered the turning point of the Fourth War."

Wu Pifu frowned and asked: "Anti-meme effect?"

Liang Min nodded and said: "Yes, an information feature opposite to the meme effect. The so-called meme is actually a process of information spreading, expressing, and mutating through abnormal ways. It usually refers to abnormal information. For example, a curse can be seen as a kind of meme. The singularity technology of the Ninth Company is an abnormal meme. These abnormal memes often exceed the spread of logic and causality, and this is the meme effect."

Wu Pifu still didn't understand. He thought for a while and said: "Give me an example of a meme effect, otherwise I can't form a concrete concept."

Chu Minghao and Liang Min both had a headache.

Compared to the two of them, Wu Pifu was really like an illiterate. Except for being born in the early period of the 21st century, the gap in knowledge was also too large. For example, Chu Minghao had six doctoral degrees and was a famous expert in the field of physics, while Liang Min was even more so. Not to mention nine doctoral degrees, he even participated in the research of three kinds of singularity technologies.

Chu Minghao suddenly said: "Let's use that example. It's quite famous, and it has been confirmed to be completely eliminated. There is no relevant carrier here, so saying it out now won't lead to the resurgence of its meme effect."

!

Liang Min immediately understood Chu Minghao's meaning, and he said to Wu Pifu: "Once, the Ninth Company, in order to obtain a set of big data experimental results, directly launched a meme to the solar system network at that time. The meme was called 'If you have the ability, come and hit me.' As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were injured and hospitalized, a large amount of manpower and material resources were consumed, and the direct economic loss was countless. However, fortunately, the harm of this meme was small, and no one died..."

Wu Pifu immediately became interested, and he asked immediately: "And then? This thing sounds very powerful!"

Liang Min said with a bitter smile: "The specific spread path of this meme is: on the network, as long as the newcomer introduction link is triggered, whether it is on social platforms, various in-game dialogues, or video bullet screens, or things like chat groups, as long as the newcomer introduction link is triggered, then all newcomers' dialogues will be transformed into a standard format: 'Hello, I'm not very good at talking. If there is any offense, if you have the ability, come and hit me.' Then, all his subsequent words will be forced to change into spraying people, insults, illogical crazy words, etc., not transferred by his own will. Even if it develops seriously, it will lead to his real-life dialogue becoming the same type."

Wu Pifu was dumbfounded, and he widened his eyes and said: "Then isn't this all a mess? Once human civilization is completely infected, all languages are invalid, unable to communicate, then the collapse of civilization is sooner or later, right?!"

"Indeed." Chu Minghao said: "Fortunately, we reacted in time at that time and quickly found the spread method and solution of this meme effect. The first condition for its spread is that it can only be on the network, that is, the so-called online, and cannot be face-to-face in reality. Secondly, it is relatively simple to solve this meme. As long as someone says these words, find his real-life body and beat him hard once, and the meme will be lifted."

"... It's really offline!?" Wu Pifu couldn't help but complain.

Chu Minghao and Liang Min both smiled bitterly, because they also felt that this was indeed very funny.

Liang Min coughed and said: "In short, memes and meme effects are similar things, while the anti-meme effect is an opposite expression, which is the self-contraction and concealment of information. A more vivid way of saying it is, the expression of the anti-meme effect is 'This is a secret.' For example, turning a blind eye, forgetting in the blink of an eye, unable to leave information traces, etc., all belong to the anti-meme effect. And that Final Producer entity has similar abilities."

Wu Pifu fell silent, and he said: "So, you think the one killed this time is not the physical entity of the Final Producer?"

Chu Minghao and Liang Min both nodded. Liang Min said: "Because Chu Minghao is a Super-Brain, he has resistance to anti-memes. He feels that the physical entity of the Final Producer is very familiar, which means that he might know this person, and I should also know him, and it is estimated that he is also very important... He is lurking around us, and we know nothing about him. This Final Producer clone is just his small test. Once he feels the conditions are right, he might sacrifice all of humanity, and then pull the real Final Producer essence back completely. If so..."

"The three of us combined probably won't win!"

The three were silent. After a long while, Wu Pifu asked: "What do I need to do?"

Chu Minghao and Liang Min laughed at the same time. Chu Minghao took the lead and said: "I will integrate the Human Government, stabilize the Sanctuary, and at the same time continue to awaken more humans, and help them gain a foothold in the Dream World!"

Liang Min said: "I will continue to gather the power of the Human Revolution Alliance, and start to secretly look for the traces of the Final Producer, find the truth about Xu Wanfang's death, and secretly snipe any pollution source trying to approach Gaia and the Sanctuary!"

"And you..."

The two said in unison: "You will be the joint leader of the Thirteen Singularities Company, gather them, and distinguish whether there is a Final Producer among them, and also..."

"You will act as the vanguard to explore the depths of the Dream World!"
