In the fog outside, some unusual things obviously appeared. They were huge in size and suspended in the air. Judging from the surface outline, they should all be humanoids visible to the naked eye.

It, no, it should be said that they.

Some of them were elegant and sacred, and some exuded a dark and evil aura, revealing strange limbs. They were overwhelming and covered the entire city. Just a breath could blow up a strong wind, which showed how huge their scale was.

Their expressions were moving, and their expressions were different. It was obvious that they were all alive.

Theoretically, at night and with thick fog, people could not see them at all, but their forms seemed to surpass the naked eye, turning into information and directly pouring into their cognition. Even if they closed their eyes, they could not resist their information invasion.

Any player or NPC was stunned. Their personality memory and deeper cultural memory remembered them particularly deeply. Although they had never seen them before, they recognized them at a glance.

They are the mythological existences of this world, including gods and demons of different systems, official or folk, some are natural gods, some are gods transformed from humans, in short, almost all the legendary images that touch the extraordinary elements have appeared.

Their overly huge bodies stretched out in the thick fog, looming, with absolute deterrence, and everyone was terrified.

If you have to cite a meme that is the earliest and most influential in civilization, many people will point to a word when tracing its origins - myth.

Mythology laid the foundation of culture. Early culture was all related to gods. Even in the middle and late periods, the content of mythology disappeared, and the thinking of mythology would continue. The thinking habits accumulated over a long period of history will inevitably form a kind of inertia, such as worship, such as the pursuit of the only one. Mythological thinking will even appear in the form of anti-mythology on the surface, although there is no special difference in structure, which makes people mistakenly think that it has disappeared.

No matter what, NPCs know more or less about the myths in their culture, especially those nations that use myths to teach people how to do things in their childhood.

And now, these myths suddenly reappeared, without any signs, just so suddenly revealed their ancient shapes from the fog.

It was just like a dream, almost all the NPCs who witnessed the scene doubted their eyes, and their minds were blank for a while, and they couldn't understand this situation at all.

Even the state machinery stagnated. Even if they were soberly aware of the current situation, they couldn't think of what to do at the moment. They appeared, and then what? Fight? Repel them? Or worship them?

Faced with too many choices, they had nothing else to prove that one of the choices was more effective. They were secret things that were both familiar and unknown.

The world information network paused for five minutes without any new information pouring in. Five minutes later, some discussions appeared one after another.

The outer gods who were reduced in dimension were also confused and did not notice the signs of this event at all.

"Is it because of this fog? Maybe they didn't appear suddenly, but a qualitative change caused by gradual accumulation. They just appeared naturally." The person behind the scenes of the world-scale brokerage company thought so.

"Maybe, so this game world has other mysteries? It's not as simple as we thought before."

"Maybe we are all wrong. The way to win this game is not only to occupy the information world, but also to occupy the culture?"

"Culture...? Culture is just a collection of concepts. How can it be operated? And occupy? Don't be kidding!"

"It's over. I can't see the direction of this game clearly. It's too difficult to understand. Can you make something that normal people can understand? Why the hell am I so unlucky to enter this game?"

"Wait, wait! There must be another way! Damn... I'm confused!"

"Now they just appeared, and there is no special action. There is no need to panic. There is still hope. They are all players who have entered and exited countless game copies. What's the risk? As long as you are alive, you can still play."

Similar statements are all over the Internet. Most of the NPCs who don't know the reason are just curious and daunted, but the players are terrified and realize the extraordinary danger to their lives.

At the same time, Moss and others were also shocked and felt helpless.

"Mythology... It's only been a short time, why do these events happen so serially? It really doesn't give people a chance to breathe." The hacker took a deep breath, still feeling frightened.

"Don't be afraid, you should have all been to the God-level dungeon, right? We have all been through the God-level dungeon and faced gods and demons. In comparison, they are not particularly scary. Calm down and think about it. We will definitely find a way. Now let's wait and see what happens and find out what they are like." The team leader calmed everyone's mood in time and made a more appropriate judgment.

The people present gradually stabilized and returned to work.

The team leader and Moss exchanged glances, then walked to Beiheng, with doubts, and knew what they were thinking without asking.

What exactly is going on with the various strange phenomena brought by the earthquake? They can't think of the reason, so they have to come to Beiheng.

"You should start with the true body of the fog," Beiheng said directly, "They appeared from the fog."

The team leader paused and said in surprise: "The fog is really not a natural phenomenon?"

"With your knowledge of meteorology, is it difficult to judge whether this is an extraordinary phenomenon?" Bei Heng asked back, and then said: "It is not something that appears without reason. It is best not to understand it as a preconceived game setting. There are causes and effects behind everything, and it can always be deduced. Don't just think of the game as a game. This is indeed a world."

"Yes," the team leader suddenly woke up, "Muir, you are right."

Moss was a little confused and said: "So what is the cause behind this fog?"

"Thoughts, memories, intelligence, subconsciousness, etc. It is a collection of these things, the embodiment of ideas," Bei Heng explained simply: "In layman's terms, it is the thoughts of people deposited by history."

Under normal circumstances, these thoughts will rise after they are generated, enter the spiritual realm, and then be digested and transformed by the spiritual realm. But this game world is not a normal situation. The road to the spiritual realm is congested, so thoughts cannot rise, and can only continue to accumulate until they sink into the world and form a thick fog that is actually visible.

It sounds very strange and unbelievable, but this is not a fantasy, but something that can really happen.

Understanding physical concepts such as information moisture and Maxwell's demon can understand the possibility. Even if you don't know, it doesn't matter, because some myths popularized in various civilizations have already hinted at this possibility, paving the way for people's understanding.

Most people in the early days of civilization could easily enter a meditative state, but the later the civilization, the more difficult it was for people to enter a meditative state. Is this because people's minds are not clean and their meditation ability is reduced? Not necessarily. The main reason lies in the environment and the invisible large amount of information turbidity.

In daily life, a large amount of information passes through the human body in the form of electromagnetic waves, repeatedly passing through, and people have no feeling, but it does not mean that there is no impact. Saying that people live in information is not a metaphor, but an exact fact. People do live in electromagnetic waves.

However, the above are only some incomplete conditions for the formation of thick fog. Normally, no matter how crazy a world is, it is impossible to really cause congestion in the spiritual field. There must be an extraordinary event in it.

And this extraordinary event is usually the core mechanism set by the system.

In other words, this world is a game world that is transformed by the system based on the history of the present world. It is not a copy of the original world, and it is inevitable to be transformed by extraordinary power.

"That is to say, after the system selected this world as a blueprint, it used special means to block the road to the spiritual realm, causing the 'spirit' to be transformed into a 'phenomenon', and then into the substance we see."

The team leader suddenly realized, and then said: "In addition, those giant gods outside are actually information, the ideological information of people accumulated in history?!"

Moss also suddenly realized: "Then their sudden appearance is actually just a matter of course. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Players entering the game disturb the balance of the world, and also bring more information. Under the influence of multiple factors, they appeared with the earthquake."

Speaking of this, many people felt that it was difficult to understand. But the team leader did not rush to explain. After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that they had more or less digested these contents, he said: "Knowing the cause of their formation means that we have taken a big step forward, but for now, we still cannot judge what their next step will be, so we must be vigilant against them while advancing our original layout."

"Okay!" Moss nodded.

Other people present also responded, temporarily suppressing the panic in their hearts.

"However, it's really thanks to Muir that he thought of this." The team leader turned his head and looked at Bei Heng. In addition to admiration, his eyes also showed a bit of instinctive fear. He couldn't understand why he couldn't help but feel fear even though they were his companions.

Bei Heng shook his head, was silent for a few seconds, and thought about it, and then said: "They are the most suitable meme carriers, much more useful than other communication media. NPCs may be able to resist those entertainment and text message bombings, but can they resist things that go deep into the subconscious?"

The team leader was stunned and felt extremely stressed.

Moss was stunned, and suddenly felt helpless again. Although he knew their principles, the current situation remained unchanged.

On the other hand, I'm afraid that at the same time, other player forces in the game also deduced this possibility.

"You can't rob the statues, right? They are alive," the hacker couldn't help but interrupt, "Living statues are not that easy to get."

She proposed the direction of "robbing", and regarded them as media resources that can be fought for. It was a very bold idea.

This game has indeed developed to the stage of competing for media resources. If you want to win with memes, you need to collect powerful media, powerful enough to conquer the minds of all NPCs.

"This is a good way. Maybe we can try it first." Moss touched his chin and walked to the window to observe the statue at the nearest distance.

There is no challenge and no opportunity. If you really want to do something, you must take the lead. Moss stared outside, his eyes gradually firmed, and he obviously had an idea.

It's really wise. Bei Heng was silent for a while, and was also ready to act.
