I loaded the ghost talk game

After the Mengnan incident intensified, Kamiya and others were busy for a few days.

Information about Meng Nan finally began to appear on the Internet.

is a website.

The title is——"Helping to Find the Mysterious Dreamer"

The content of the website is very simple, and there is an eye-catching restoration picture of Mengmen's appearance——

Thick eyebrows, high hairline, big mouth. The facial features are put together, uncoordinated and unnatural, like a dummy that can trigger the uncanny valley effect.

There is a text below the picture of Mengnan:

[Countless nights, in countless corners of the world, hundreds of strangers have seen this man in their dreams. If you have dreamed about this man, or know his whereabouts, please contact us. ]

This very sloppy website has gained a lot of attention once it was launched.

There are many people leaving messages under the website.

At the same time, information and discussions about Mengmen also began to appear on Youtube and Twitter.

That content didn't last long online, though.

They were all banned that day because of content violations.

The official end prevented further discussion and dissemination of the Mengnan incident on the Internet.

...

At night, on a road in Gunma Prefecture.

The ghost car is speeding towards its next destination.

Dashi Junma is concentrating on driving.

Sister Xiaoyuan was sitting in the co-pilot, holding her head, listening to the conversation between the boss in the back seat, Juqiong Shrine, and Niyi, ignorantly but seriously.

While looking at the constantly updated information in the temporary "work group", Kamiyagawa said, "So the countermeasure room will control strange talk and public opinion on the Internet?"

What he said, of course, was that Mengnan's information was blocked on the Internet.

The countermeasure room has launched an emergency plan, and cooperated with other official organizations to set up an information team to block all information related to Mengnan on the Internet.

In addition, in the past two days, in the Japanese entertainment industry, there has been a "coincidentally" outburst of a big melon.

Regarding the unspoken rules of a certain brokerage company's high-level executives, many artists were involved.

This matter is hotly discussed on Twitter.

I don't know if the government is consciously promoting this sudden entertainment news.

In addition, in the work group, the contact person from the information group was reporting the situation just now.

It is said that the person who established "Associate Search for the Mysterious Dreamer" has been found.

However, after preliminary confirmation, the other party should not be the instigator of the Mengnan incident, but just a small group formed by several Mengnan encounters on the Internet or by relatives and friends.

Further investigations into these individuals are ongoing.

The member who created Mengnan at the time of the devil has not yet surfaced.

"Of course it will be controlled. Didn't you find that in the past ten years, there have been no new urban ghost stories that have spread widely in Japan?" Tomie Yi, who was sitting in the last row, answered, "The rapid development of the Internet has only been in more than ten years. That's all, after the first batch of urban ghost stories spread by means of the Internet appeared, the countermeasure room has consciously managed and controlled this aspect."

The first batch of urban legends spread through the Internet refer to Kisaragi Station and Miss Mary.

After these urban ghost stories, there really haven't been any influential new ghost stories on the Internet for more than ten years.

"What about the ghost stories from before? There are also those traditional monster stories. These seem to have not been banned from discussion." Kamiya asked again.

"It's hard to ban a story that has already been spread. The best time to ban it is usually when the ghost story is just born, and it is killed in its infancy." Fu Niyi seems to understand the public opinion control measures of the countermeasure room. , "Moreover, ghost stories are an important part of Japanese culture, and it is not realistic to completely ban them."

Japan is a nation that worships ghosts, and the boundary between ghosts and gods has never been very clear.

All kinds of ghost culture and ghost stories are indeed one of the important cultural components of this nation.

To forcefully cut this part of the culture across the board may have a great negative impact. Some cultural experts and scholars, as well as the Japanese politicians who are really in charge of the upper class, will not agree.

Fu Niyi: "So for the ghost stories that have been spread, there are also traditional ghost stories. The countermeasure room has coordinated with the higher authorities many times and adopted more gentle measures. It is to use the cultural industry to change the spread of these ghost stories in public opinion. images, and make them harmless."

Shen Gu pondered for a while according to what Sister Fu said, and roughly understood the meaning of the so-called "handling with gentleness".

In the past ten years, in Japan's cultural industry, whether it is novels, animation, or games, there have been many works with monsters as the theme.

Most of the monster images in mainstream works have undergone secondary processing.

They are no longer the vicious appearance in the original background story, but more anthropomorphic and harmless. To put it bluntly, their images have been cute.

Spreading public opinion on this kind of weird talk with cute images can greatly reduce the people's fear of weird talk stories.

"The countermeasure room's policy to deal with weird talk and public opinion is a combination of 'blocking' and 'sparse', right?" Kamiya nodded.

"That's about it."

Through the conversation with Fu Neyi, Kamiyagawa has a new understanding of the countermeasure room.

Moreover, he had just learned that the countermeasure room would control strange talk and public opinion, and he was a little worried about whether the live broadcast career of "Miss Mary", Xiao Wu's skin, would go smoothly.

But after learning more, this concern was temporarily dispelled.

"Miss Mary" made her debut and became a virtual anchor, which is the second creation of the urban legend image of Mary, endowing it with a brand new image. Although Kamiya's original intention of doing this is to harvest faith, this behavior is also a "cute" treatment of Mary's image.

It just coincides with the strategy of "guiding" the public opinion of the countermeasure room's strange talk.

"However, in the past few years, the speed of visits to ghost stories has been abnormally fast. It is hard to say whether the countermeasure office's attitude towards ghost stories and public opinion will change in the future." Fu Niyi added.

Kamiya also knew about this matter from Uncle Yuki before.

"That's it..."

...

Gunma Prefecture, Tsukiyono Town.

The ghost car passed through a fence and stopped in a residential area.

Kamiya, Onitsuka, and Tomiegi got out of the car, and asked Oishi and Ohara to wait in place.

The Mengnan incident to be dealt with this time was reported by the local Metropolitan Police Department in Tsukiyano Town.

Meng Nan's encounter lived in this area.

And what's different from before is that there are two parties who encountered Meng Nan in this place, and they live not too far away, just across the street.

Both fell into a coma and couldn't wake up.

An old policeman from Tsukiyono Town and two official spiritual masters from Gunma Prefecture received Kamiya and the others together.

The old police officer was obviously aware of the existence of a special superior organization called the Countermeasure Room.

A group of people just exchanged a few simple greetings, and went to the home of one of the parties together.

The surname written on the form of a household is [Autumn Leaves].

The dream man encountered in this family was a little boy.

His family members have communicated with the old police officers in the jurisdiction and are waiting at the door.

The identities of Kamiyagawa and his party seem to be packaged with titles such as "psychological experts".

Believe it or not, that is their business.

"Please follow me."

The mother of the Akiha family brought Kamiyagawa and Funegi to the second floor.

Onizuka stayed downstairs and learned more about the details of the incident from the police and the boy's father.

Sister Fu looks more mature and reliable. Kamiya and Onitsuka act together with her. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is like a teacher leading two interns.

"Ms. Akiba, please go downstairs and wait for a while. I want to observe the child's situation alone."

Fu Niyi casually sent Akiba's mother away.

The latter hesitated a little, but still chose to do so, said "I'm sorry for your inconvenience", closed the door and went downstairs.

Inside the room, a boy named "Yuki" was lying on the bed.

His brows were slightly furrowed, having a dream from which he could not wake up.

"It's another case of being unable to wake up from a coma. There have been more and more cases of this kind recently. It seems that another encounter here in Tsukiyano Town, Shizuru Hojo, is also in the same situation. Kamiya-kun, please."

Fu Niyi looked at Yuki on the bed, and sighed softly.

"Um."

After the idlers left, Kamiyagawa started working directly.

"Little tapir."

The red blurred light followed his call and appeared on the child's bedside.

"Puff..."

Tapir sat on the edge of the bed with a round belly and a troubled expression on his face.

And... do you want to eat again?

I haven't finished digesting the last few meals.

It seems that I can't eat anymore, puff.

"Please, little tapir."

Shen Gu is also a little helpless, the tapir has indeed eaten a lot of dream men recently.

His body size has grown a lot, and the ghostly aura on his body is much stronger than when he was just promoted to C-level.

Fortunately, it knows that these days it is following the owner to deal with the strange talk incident.

Otherwise, you have to wonder if you are eating a dead meal.

"Puff, puff."

The tapir obediently shook its nose at the owner, turned into a flowing blurred red light, and plunged into Yuki's body.

All right……

Eat two more bites when you are full, and you can still eat hard.

Ten minutes passed.

The nightmare-eating tapir, who had already stretched a bit, showed up with a full belch and climbed out of the bed.

The phone in Kamiyagawa's pocket also vibrated synchronously.

But different from before, this time the phone vibrated twice.

[Meng Nan is dead, and he got 58 soul crystals! ]

[Mengnan is dead, and he has obtained 52 soul crystals! ]

Because Fu Niyi was present, Kamiya didn't take out his phone to check directly, but after two vibrations, he still felt abnormal.

"Little tapir, is there any special situation?"

"Puff."

The dream-eating tapir shook its nose, stood up unsteadily, put its little paws on Shengu's hand, and began to directly convey what it saw in the boy's dream just now through the method of "constructing a dream"...

...

Kamiyagawa and Funeyi went downstairs together with strange expressions.

As soon as I got down, I saw one of the two official spiritual masters answering the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he signaled everyone to go outside the door of a house, away from the Akiha couple, and then said: "The colleague on the other side called and said that another dream boy who was one street away met the target, Ms. , just woke up."

"Um."

Kamiyagawa nodded without much surprise.

"Did something happen?" Onizuka, who had been staying downstairs, realized something and asked.

"Just dealt with two dream men at the same time."

"what do you mean?"

"There are two dreammen in Akiba Yuuki's dream. No, to be precise, Akiba Yuki and Hojo Shizuru seem to be in the same dream. There is a dreamman next to them. Everyone woke up together."

"Two people, in the same dream?"

Even the little witch, who is well-informed, will inevitably show a surprised expression after hearing Kamiyagawa's words.

In Tsukiyono Town, the two encounters of Mengnan who were very close to each other, the two dreams that could not wake up, were glued together because of the existence of Mengnan.

Regardless of each other.

...

Dreams should have been a subjective and private product of consciousness.

But what happened in Tsukiyano Town, Gunma Prefecture was enough for Kamiya and the others to confirm that Yumeo had the ability to break the private boundary of this dream.

At present, it is not possible to fully determine why the dreams of Yuki Akiba and Shizuru Hojo are connected together.

The preliminary judgment is because they are relatively close to each other——

The actual distance of the dreamer encounters is within a certain range, and the dreams he falls into will appear in series.

If this assumption is true, if there are ten or a hundred people trapped in the dream man's dream in the same place, will it form a macro-cohesion dream?

Mengnan's current scope of influence is the entire Kanto, including Tokyo and several surrounding counties.

Moreover, the speed at which Mengmen's different visits appear is getting faster and faster recently. If the Maoshi novelist who is behind the scenes cannot be found out in time, it is really very likely that many people will dream online in the future, and grand dreams will be connected in series.

"It usually takes only three or four minutes for a tapir to cure a dream man, but it takes about ten minutes to deal with the matter of Yue Yeye Town. Two dream men appearing in a dream are more difficult to deal with than a single dream man .If the dream becomes bigger and there are more dream men in the same dream, if it exceeds a certain threshold, will it be beyond the processing range of the tapir?"

It's like cats are the natural enemies of mice, but no matter how powerful a cat is, it can't resist the red-eyed rats.

Kamiya is concerned about this.

After the incident in Tsukiyono Town, the countermeasure room held another meeting.

A part of manpower was mobilized from within the organization to deal with the Mengnan incident. At the same time, inform and exchange the recent information. There are two most important information——

One was discovered by Kamiya and the others, Mengnan can connect dreams.

There is another conclusion drawn by other groups:

If the person who dreamed of the dream man did not die in the early stage, there is a high probability that he will fall into a coma and be unable to wake up after a few days.

Therefore, falling into lethargy is a stage that the dreamer encounters must go through in the later stage.

In addition, at the beginning of the Mengnan incident, the period of "dream of Mengnan at night, but still able to wake up normally" was longer, but recently this "preliminary period" is getting shorter.
