I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 509 This is called professionalism

"Boss, Kobayashi is out!"

Upon hearing this sound, the man, who was getting annoyed by scrolling through Weibo, subconsciously threw down his phone, which was filled with outrageous comments, and stood up with a "thud." He quickly sat back down, not even bothering to grimac, and asked directly, "How is it?"

"It seems fine. His vital signs monitoring is accurate, so he shouldn't have been affected by brainwashing or hypnosis." The driver stared at the in-vehicle tablet without turning his head, his tone completely natural.

"Have the second team's car pick him up, issue a silence order, and have him undergo meme correction first. Only after confirming there are no problems can the meme be removed."

"understand!"

……

Xiao Lin, who had just left Feng Xue's house, was still quite incredulous. He had thought this would be an extremely troublesome task, but he hadn't expected it to be completed so easily.

Just as he was pondering how to write the report, an ordinary-looking van suddenly stopped in front of him.

"..." Upon seeing the car, Xiaolin immediately reacted, and his previously natural movements instantly became rigid, including the angles at which he raised his hands and legs, all of which were meticulous.

He quickly opened the car door according to procedure, entered the carriage, and then sat upright in the seat with restraints.

Seeing that Xiaolin was so cooperative, the staff member sitting next to him felt relieved, but still quickly completed the installation of the restraint belt.

This operation was performed with extreme skill. In just two minutes, Xiaolin was fixed to the car seat like a mental patient forcibly dressed in straitjacket. His face was covered by a mask, and the sound of his breathing was disturbed by the white noise playing in the car. Even eye contact was blocked. Only after it was ensured that he could not transmit any information to the outside world in any way did the van start up again.

Behind every outrageous rule, there is often an even more outrageous incident. Behind Xiaolin's method of restraint, there is more than one outrageous story.

Because the transmission routes of memes are far more complex than those of viruses.

The essence of a meme is information, not just the transmission of sound. It includes finger movements, eye contact, and even combinations of facial expressions, all of which can potentially transmit a meme to the observed individual.

Because of the nature of their work, field staff cannot be protected from the inside out like logistics staff, nor can they carry tens of tons of equipment around. Therefore, the best approach is to prevent individuals who may be infected by memes from transmitting any information to others.

The van arrived at the nearest meme correction center, where Kobayashi began the long and complicated testing process.

The world has coexisted with memes since ancient times, and thus has accumulated many means to combat memes, such as monitoring meme frequency bands and establishing meme feature databases. However, the most successful is meme correction technology.

Of course, to put it more bluntly, it should be called "meme overlay technology." Information transmission will produce errors, and meme correction is to destroy the structure of the current meme by repeatedly overlaying it with multiple harmless memes with similar characteristics, thereby rendering it harmless.

For example, if someone is infected by the meme that "jumps in fright when they see a strip-shaped object," then after confirming the characteristics of this meme, other memes such as "singing when they see a strip-shaped object," "squinting when they see a strip-shaped object," and "becoming alert when they see a strip-shaped object" can be retrieved from the feature database and repeatedly reinfected through rituals. Homogeneous memes will interfere with each other, eventually distorting the information.

However, this process, which was supposed to last three days, ended very quickly this time. The reason was simple: there were no memetic traces on Kobayashi, the booklet with its ink still wet, or the USB drive.

The reason it was only released now is because the person in charge was still worried and tested it three more times before it was finally done.

Even so, the Meme Correction Bureau still gave suggestions such as strengthening observation and reducing the frequency of communication.

……

"Time travel?" In the private interrogation room, the captain frowned slightly as he flipped through a booklet confirming there was no memetic contamination. Kobayashi nodded and said:
"Yes, codename Ziwei dictated that he traveled to a modern world, similar to Mr. Zombie, and then traveled back due to an accident. He then performed the Summoning God Technique on the spot, which is the technique in that booklet, and summoned the Treasure-Gathering Celestial Venerable."

"The Heavenly Venerable of Treasure Gathering and Treasure Acquiring? Cao Bao Xiao Sheng?" The captain glanced at the readings of the memetic monitoring equipment, and only asked after confirming that there were no problems. It wasn't that he wasn't professional enough or hadn't done any prior investigation, but rather that memetic infection was multifaceted. Compared to various devices that were difficult to monitor, having someone confirmed not to be infected by the memetic directly provide the verbal description was the safest option.

Although each oral narration must be recorded, safety can only be initially ensured after seven retellings without any signs of infection. Only then can the audio and video recordings be made public for research.

As a veteran operator, Kobayashi naturally understood this procedure. He showed no signs of anxiety, simply shaking his head in response:

"No, it's Doraemon... um, Doraemon."

"What?" The captain stood up abruptly, his eyes wide like light bulbs. If the meme monitoring equipment hadn't failed to sound an alarm, the security personnel outside would probably have already started spraying hypnotic gas.

In this era where everything can be a meme, turning anime characters into memes is not an outrageous thing. Back then, a meme based on a certain death notebook almost caused a riot. It was later banned nationwide, and key information was distorted and replaced with various alternative words to destroy the integrity of the information. This is how that phenomenal meme was resolved.

But this summoning spell is different. Unlike memes that suddenly appear at any time, this thing can be actively chosen!
This means that as long as we figure out this pattern, we can call on the corresponding "god" to deal with any sudden meme. Not to mention the impact on scientific research and logistics, the safety of the front-line action team can be greatly improved!

"You heard right, it's that blue fat cat. But since the blue fat cat has become a meme, he only showed up with props like the self-deception ruler and the life restart gun. But it's said that he can also pull out the forgiveness hat and the soap that can't be picked up."

"..." As the department that deals with memes, the team leader naturally knew what these were. He suppressed his complicated emotions and looked at the USB drive again, saying:

"What's inside this?"

"The list of star officials of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, according to the code name Ziwei, star officials have a long history in my country and cover a relatively comprehensive range. Astrological divination is also easy to link with popular fashion. With just a little influence, it can generate benefits. However, it cannot be ruled out that this is Ziwei strengthening its own meme."
