According to Modi, the samples collected by the Styx worm were no different from those of ordinary people.
There were no special factors involved, and it was not apparent that it was related to the abilities of the young delinquent girl from earlier.
"It's like buying a bag of spicy beef noodles, opening the vegetable packet, and finding that there isn't even a single piece of beef inside."
Feeling cheated, Modi destroyed all the samples he had just taken and shook his head in disappointment.
I originally wanted to use this opportunity to study the delinquent girl's superpowers, but it turned out to be completely useless.
With the trail of clues to their origins still broken, he could only turn his attention back to the small horn statue.
"The Izu Pacific Paradise was also destroyed. Forget about the ancient well, it's questionable whether even a single plank can be preserved."
Modi looked around and found that the surrounding area had become a completely white expanse.
Saria's flames completely destroyed the place, and the madwoman fought without holding back, destroying the target she was looking for.
He decided to head back home and not linger there any longer.
At Base One in the Pacific Ocean, the Styx swarm has brought the statue back.
Countless grotesque, inhuman-looking Blood God Children were surrounding it, conducting various tests.
"This statue reminds me of a certain green octopus. Do you think there might be something indescribable underneath it?"
"It can't be, can it? There are no Deep Ones in this world, and there's no Innsmouth. It's impossible for a R'lyeh to be hidden there, can it?"
"Why don't we cut it open and see?"
The three Blood God Children discussed for a while before deciding to take action.
They extended tendrils, each tipped with a blade-like sharpness and coated with a layer of bloody light—clearly, the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.
"Let's get started."
They manipulated the tentacles, their sharp blades cutting into the stone statue, slowly dissecting it.
Like removing clothing, the stone statue's skin was peeled away layer by layer.
The three Blood God Children worked with extreme precision, like performing surgery, each performing their own function without interfering with the others.
A piece of the stone statue's outer layer fell off, finally exposing the foreign object inside.
"Yes, that's it, that's the fragment we perceive."
What they saw was a crystal with a faint green glow, about the size of an adult's brain, and its color was similar to the light emanating from the eyes of the stone statue.
A Blood God Child approached and carefully picked up the emerald crystal with its tentacles. In an instant, a memory that did not belong to it flooded its mind.
It saw the sky darken and the waves surge, and a bolt of lightning struck the statue of Enno-no-zumi enshrined on Izu Oshima Island. From then on, green light would occasionally appear in the statue's eyes.
The island's residents were greatly surprised by this and became even more devoted to the statue, holding a ceremony every year at a set time.
The ceremony was held round after round, countless times, until, through the statue's perspective, it saw a special girl.
The girl was more devout than the other residents; she seemed to have some kind of connection with the statue and often spent an entire afternoon in front of it.
Later, the White Eagle army arrived and stationed themselves on the big island, frequently harassing the local residents. As a result, residents often knelt in front of the statue, praying that they would leave as soon as possible.
When the White Eagle soldiers discovered this, they forbade the residents from kneeling before the statue and threw it into the sea.
The statue sank into the sea, but its mystique remained undiminished. Through a mysterious connection, it summoned the woman from before, instructing her to retrieve the statue and infuse her with a special power.
Mo Di, who had just logged in, frowned. Using the statue's perspective, he got a clear look at the woman's face.
Without a doubt, she was Sadako's mother.
She must have acquired her many special abilities around this time.
"Was this statue the catalyst behind the meme infection incident back then?"
The image did not disappear at this point, but instead continued to flash and jump, and the perspective was no longer that of the statue.
Modi saw a woman standing in front of an old-fashioned CRT television, preparing to play a videotape.
As the videotape was inserted, the television screen changed, displaying many irregular flickering noises and occasionally going black.
The images kept changing: a woman, a volcano, an ancient well... Mordy knew that this was the content of the videotape that Sadako used to spread the curse.
"What is the purpose of storing this memory?" he wondered.
After watching the videotape, the woman in front of the television watched the footage speed up, and her belly continued to swell, as if she were pregnant. By the seventh day, she was indistinguishable from a woman who was ten months pregnant.
On the seventh day, the camera stopped fast-forwarding and focused on the woman, and Mordy watched her give birth to a baby girl.
Not long after giving birth to the baby girl, the woman died, while the baby girl grew rapidly, becoming a grown woman in just seven days.
"Sadako." Mo Di whispered her name, and the scene immediately changed, a terrifying scene appearing before his eyes.
On the city streets stood many identical people, their hair disheveled, long black hair covering their faces, and their height, build, and figure were exactly the same.
They turned their heads silently, met Modi's gaze, and remained silent.
"So that's what meme infection is."
Modi nodded slightly; he finally understood the specifics of the incident.
Sadako's curse, or rather, the virus, began to multiply unchecked after she was born.
This eventually evolved into the scene that Mordi witnessed.
"But all countries are doing well now, which means that the incident has been resolved and even its impact has been wiped out."
As soon as Modi finished speaking, he saw large swathes of Sadako in front of him fall down and dissolve, dying in a way that he did not know the principle behind.
After Sadako completely disappeared, everything in the city began to rewind.
Traffic returned to the roads, and pedestrians with different appearances reappeared on the streets.
In Modi's view, the entire city went from lifeless to vibrant in just a few seconds.
Even he couldn't help but become solemn when faced with this seemingly time-reversing power.
"Time travel? How is that possible?"
If there really is a time traveler behind this world, then he might as well just leave this world.
"It doesn't feel like time travel; it's more like... reading backup data?"
The word popped into his head unconsciously, and he connected some minor details.
A bold guess popped into his head.
"This is the whole picture of the meme infection incident. What's your purpose in showing me all this?"
Modi raised his head, pulling his thoughts from the memories of unknown origin.
Staring at the emerald crystal, he said bluntly, "Let's speak frankly."
The crystal lay quietly on his tentacles, motionless, yet behind it condensed a will.
Even though it was just a fragment, Modi could still feel its profound presence, as if he were facing the entire world.
If this is its true form, it must be even larger.
Upon first meeting, that will conveyed a glimmer of information, appearing quite urgent.
After releasing its information, it did not linger and quickly dissipated.
The emerald green crystal gradually lost its mystique and turned into an ordinary piece of jade.
"So hasty, leaving without even saying goodbye, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
Modi did not lower his guard because of its departure. He ordered the entire base to be sealed off to prevent any possible leakage of contamination before cautiously contacting the informational light.
A massive influx of information into the brain of this Blood God Child, first filtering it before being transmitted to the shared mental network of the Blood God Child.
The entire process of receiving the information did not take long; it only took three to five minutes for Modi to digest the information.
He blinked, and the world seemed completely different before him.
In his eyes, this world became like the Qiancang Realm, existing in a state between illusion and reality, a parasite sucking blood from another world.
Although it is not as exquisite as the Qiancang Realm constructed by the Heavenly Book, it has the advantage of existing for a long time.
Its existence time far exceeds that of the former Qiancang Realm. It absorbs a large amount of origin by sucking blood, which drives its continuous evolution.
Now, it is only a few steps away from becoming a real world. If it continues to absorb like this, it will eventually evolve into a real world.
"This feeling of glimpsing the true nature of the world is similar to seeing something indescribable. Luckily, I have a strong mind, otherwise I would definitely have been driven crazy."
Modi blinked quickly, gently manipulating the air, using the method taught by the Information Insight to completely conceal his presence.
If he doesn't do this, sooner or later he will be discovered by the creators and administrators of this world and harassed by their pursuers.
According to that piece of information, this world was originally the creation of humans from another world. They used high-performance computers to create this virtual world called "Ring."
Initially, the creators of the Ring only intended to use the Ring to simulate reality and drive technological progress in the real world.
They created a virtual world that was almost identical to reality and accelerated the evolution of the ring, gradually advancing it to the same era as reality.
However, such a large and sophisticated system must require a lot of resources and manpower to maintain, and as it becomes more complex, the cost of maintenance also becomes increasingly enormous.
At the same time, it has more and more vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities came together and eventually triggered an incident that even affected the operation of the entire Ring.
This is the meme infection incident, also known as the Sadako incident.
Born from a loophole, Sadako used videotapes to spread her virus indiscriminately, until she was the only human left in the entire Ringworld.
It seemed like just a coincidence, but Mordy knew it wasn't.
There is another driving force behind this incident, namely another world that is being exploited and sucked dry.
As a world with a certain level of intelligence, it naturally did not want to be exploited and sucked dry, so it deliberately exploited the loopholes in the ring, triggering a catastrophic collapse.
The special ability that Yamamura Shizuko possessed was given to her by the stone statue.
But relying on just one Shizuko from the mountain village was not enough to accomplish anything. It then actively spawned Sadako, who had even stronger supernatural abilities, leading her to encounter numerous injustices and ultimately die resentfully in a well.
Sadako's hatred was directed at all of humanity, and this overwhelming hatred destined her to embark on a path of destroying humanity.
This includes not only humans from the Ring World, but also humans from another world.
