Chapter 136: Total Annihilation?

Chen Yuting was just an ordinary person, but especially when she learned about the other side of this world, she felt even more small and fragile.

Normally, she wasn’t qualified to attend this level of meeting. But because she was the one who kept in contact with Chu Jiang, the deputy minister didn’t want to miss out on any information and allowed her to join.

At this moment, faced with the gaze of the high-level members of the research institute, Chen Yuting felt a bit panicked.

She couldn’t understand why she suddenly became the center of attention, even though she had been quiet during the meeting.

"Damn it! Get rid of her immediately!" A captain on the screen, with a fierce expression, would probably be the first person to act against Chen Yuting if he was present.

As for the reason for his anger, it was simple. Expert Chen had just finished explaining the abilities of Black Sun, and this woman immediately gave them a "vivid lesson".

The people present were accustomed to dealing with paranormal phenomena and almost immediately realized that the sentence spoken by Chen Yuting was likely a "meme" spread by Black Sun.

This meant that anyone who heard that sentence could potentially be infected, their perception distorted, and become a subordinate of that S-class ghost.

It was just unfortunate luck that they heard this meme during a high-level meeting. Was Research Institute No. 21 going to be exposed because of this??

Chen Yuting was frightened and started to cry, saying, "I didn’t do anything!"

She wanted to escape, but her legs were becoming numb and she was shaking all over.

"Be quiet!" said a mature-looking woman dressed in red, who seemed unhappy.

Sitting next to Chen Yuting was the deputy chief of the personnel department. At this moment, she spoke kindly to Chen Yuting, reassuring her not to be afraid because they were in headquarters and no one would harm her.

This deputy chief of the personnel department was the middle-aged woman who had arranged for Chu Jiang to take on the role of supervisor.

Although Liu Xuewen frowned, he spoke without hesitation, "Zhang Yibiao, watch your tone. This is not the place for you to act out."

Zhang Yibiao was a middle-aged man, with a skinny face and deep-set eye sockets. He was wearing a black robe and looked more like a ghost than a person.

"So what are we going to do about this? Because of what she said, we are now in great danger. Deputy chief, please tell us how to solve this."

Although the others didn’t speak, it was clear that there were people who were unhappy with Chen Yuting as well.

At this moment, whether the captain who is on a video call, or the ministers and vice ministers present, many of them frowned; some immediately began to check their own mental state and try to come up with a solution.

"Don’t panic," Chen Yehua said calmly, "I haven’t finished speaking yet."

"Besides, don’t we have confidence in the research institute? If we are wiped out just like that, we might as well find a piece of tofu to hit ourselves and die early."

Chen Yehua received the intelligence from Europe before the meeting, not halfway through.

If there are no countermeasures, he will definitely isolate all the people who have been in contact with Chu Jiang, rather than waiting until the meeting to specifically mention this.

"We must admit that meme infection is very frightening, especially after it has started to spread; but it is not completely impossible to deal with."

"One method is to seal off the source of the meme, causing the spread memes to lose their supernatural power support and become ineffective directly."

"By doing so, the infected individuals might still carry some hidden dangers, like occasionally talking about heaven, but at least they won’t die because of it, nor will their cognitive distortions be exaggerated."

"Another method is more clever, and that is memory deletion."

"Being infected by memes means that the memories and understanding of living things are used as a way to spread. If we delete those related memories, we can completely solve the problem of infection."

After Chen Yehua suggested a solution, some people felt relieved, but others still had doubts.

Zhang Yibiao asked again, his voice coldly saying, "But here’s the problem, no one is confident enough to solve the ‘Black Sun’."

"As for the second method, we don’t have the ability to delete our own memories."

"It’s fine if the headquarters has it." Chen Yehua’s expression was quite relaxed.

As Expert Chen began to speak, the ordinary-looking men sitting beside him tapped their knuckles on the table, indicating that they had the ability to erase other people’s memories.

With that tap, the people attending the meeting suddenly realized! There was actually someone sitting there?? They hadn’t noticed at all before.

No, to be precise, they had overlooked him in the past.

This man was wearing a plain dark long-sleeved shirt, looking ordinary in appearance, figure, and clothing. He was the kind of person who could easily blend into a crowd.

Some people looked surprised when they saw him; others didn’t know him but knew that there always seemed to be a bodyguard with Expert Chen, so it must be him.

However, most people didn’t know that this man actually had the ability to erase other people’s memories. This made them remember in their hearts that they had to be careful around him.

Even though Chen Yehua gave this answer, Zhang Yibiao still frowned tightly, "I don’t like strangers messing with my memories."

"That’s okay too. If you don’t trust headquarters or me, you can use a special sealing item that I call ‘Conditional Forgetting.’"

"Hey, hey," the voluptuous female expert in a white coat across from Chen Yehua tapped the table impatiently, "That sealing item is my personal belonging, not headquarters’."

Chen Yehua smiled, "I’m just offering a possibility."

"Besides, what we should be discussing now is how to solve Black Sun."

"The sooner we solve this dangerous ghost, the less impact everyone will experience, and we might not even need to erase memories."

Even if you hear this meme, there are conditions for determining whether or not it will corrupt you completely.

But it is foreseeable that the conditions for judgment should be easily met; otherwise, Chen Yuting would not have been contaminated so quickly, and the level of contamination would not be light.

The meeting is still ongoing, and some of the Ghost Masters are becoming vigilant. The strength of headquarters is indeed not to be underestimated.

Another group of people suspect that the wave of meme infection in Chen Yuting is staged by the headquarters itself, in order to intimidate these powerful Ghost Masters who are difficult to manage.

As for Liu Xuewen, he is worried because he suspects that he has been contaminated, as he has also seen the information reported by Chu Jiang.

Now thinking about it, this thing is really scary. If we cannot contain the trend in the early stages, when the base of infection increases, the speed of meme spread will increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.

In the end, within a few short days, this meme could infect over ninety-nine percent of the world’s population.
