Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3746 Insight into the Truth
The slightly better thing is that this strong desire to talk will not last forever. When they spread the story, the desire to talk will disappear.

Those who hear this will have a certain desire to talk, but this desire is not as strong as that of the first generation.

It is a controllable state that can be said or not.

But when the next generation heard this, they no longer had the desire to talk about it.

In other words, this "urge to confess virus" will spread for at least one generation.

If you calculate it this way, 1 heat point affects at least 100 people, so if it is heat points, the number of people affected will reach more than .

Of course, more than 30,000 is just the base number, and the desire to confess will be affected in many ways during the viral spread. For example, some second-generation people will continue to speak, but some will not.

Also, if the first generation is surrounded by a lot of people when spreading the virus of confession, he can infect multiple second generations at a time.

The variables here are uncontrollable.

Therefore, we can only say that 1 heat point can affect at least people. But the actual situation is definitely higher than this basic number.

“Is this what going viral really means…?”

Angel couldn't help but sigh that this virus of desire to confide, which is passed from person to person, is very strong.

The only regret is that the second generation became controllable.

If the second generation is still uncontrollable, but the third generation is controllable, then one heat point can affect more than 1 people...

By then, 100 heat points will be hit, traffic will be gathered, and it will go viral, directly affecting millions of people.

Pity.

However, according to Turing, the effects of fashion magic can be continuously developed, and its power can be increased by adding "footnotes". Perhaps in the future the second generation will become uncontrollable.

Anyway, Angel is quite satisfied with the traffic aggregation and virality effects.

It’s just a pity that simply spreading the incident of “female nurse getting her foot stuck” does not increase the popularity.

After all, this event was not created by Ingres, he was just the disseminator.

If you want to gain popularity points through audience feedback, the first condition is that the creator of the public opinion event must be the magician himself.

But it's not difficult.

After that, after Turing launches its variety show, and uses “traffic aggregation and virality” to spread it, the popularity should increase quickly.

Of course, the fastest way is to directly use skylight projection so that the whole city can see it, and the popularity will definitely skyrocket.

But Angel is now deeply involved in the Modern City dungeon. If he makes such a big move, the "cause and effect entanglement" will be even more difficult to resolve. At that time, it will be difficult to exit the dungeon at any time and anywhere.

So, he doesn't plan to do any sky projection here.

Once we leave Modern City and go to Rabbit Town, there won't be any problem...

Of course, all this happened later.

Now Angle is more concerned about viral capabilities.

After seeing the effect of "traffic aggregation and viralization", Angel is also looking forward to "traffic insight and viralization".

He opened the magic book and fixed his eyes on the text introduction.

"Traffic Insight. Virality: After using this ability on events or news with average popularity, you can identify and influence the key people who pushed the event to become a hot topic. At the same time, for events or news with behind-the-scenes promoters, this ability can be used to investigate the identity of the promoters."

This ability can be understood from the textual analysis.

It adds an effect of "investigating the mastermind behind the scenes in the reverse direction".

To give a simple example, let’s say a murder case happened in a town. This case obviously meets the criteria of “event, news”. Then, by using “traffic insight. virality” on this case, we can quickly identify the mastermind behind the murder, that is… the real murderer.

Of course, this is just Ingres's literal interpretation.

The specific effect can only be known after testing.

Before the test, Angel asked Turing about the consumption of hot spots in traffic insights after going viral, just like before.

But the answer given by Turing was slightly different.

"At least 20 heat points, up to 40 heat points."

Angel was stunned. The consumption of heat points actually changed?
He asked Turing to display the current heat point: 24/25.

When I was testing the virality of traffic aggregation just now, some of the data was consumed and it has not recovered yet.

Fortunately, the remaining heat points are enough to start a 20 heat point consumption...but there is no way to start a 40 heat point consumption for the time being.

After thinking about it, Angel decided to use "Traffic Insights. Virality" in the nursing center.

However, this time, the "event" he chose was the "Mutated Strange Virus" event that had already happened. He wanted to see if he could find the source of the Mutated Strange Virus through "Traffic Insight. Viralization", that is, who is the murderer behind this doomsday event that has not yet happened.

Angel flew down from the roof with Turing.

In just a few steps, he arrived at the underground laboratory.

Before, because Henrietta was imprisoned here, this place became an absolute restricted area, and almost no one dared to come here. But as the incident broke out, Angel used Nightmare to isolate the virus, and the infectiousness had been suppressed, so the doctors and nurses no longer had to worry.

In addition, Angel also has to rely on them to help study the virus and complete the second round of hidden mission "Resurgence", so there are quite a lot of people in the underground laboratory now.

Most of them were directors and professors of the nursing center, gathered together to study the source of the virus in Henrietta's body.

Ingres's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

It is both a respect for "Nightmare" and a respect for Angel's role in preventing the virus outbreak.

Angel waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

He glanced at Henrietta's body and asked softly, "What's the progress so far?"

The doctors looked at each other in bewilderment. The air was silent and no one said a word.

Finally, it was Connors, the director of the nursing center, who took the initiative to speak: "At present... there is not much progress, but we have discussed more than ten research directions, which are roughly..."

Connors was about to introduce it, but Angle stopped him: "No need to introduce it in detail, just continue your research."

Ingres understood them, too.

It has been less than two hours since the incident happened, so it is normal that the research progress is slow. It is good enough to have a research direction.

"You guys continue your discussion, don't worry about me."

After saying this, Ingres came to Henrietta's body.

Looking at the corpse that had completely mutated and no longer looked human, Angel sighed and said to Turing who was floating beside him: "Let's get started."

Turing nodded and used "Traffic Insight. Virality" on Henrietta's body.

As the viral bat illustration appeared on the small TV, a faint light shone from the TV screen and enveloped Henrietta's body.

But after a long while, Turing did not give any feedback.

Angel looked over with some confusion.

Turing: "Master, there is a problem. I am dealing with it."

After a few seconds, Turing said to Angell, "It has been processed. The redundant text has been removed and the simplified information has been displayed on the screen."

The next second, several lines of words appeared on Turing's screen.

"1. Find someone who can heat up this event. (Consume 20 heat points)"

"2. Find the person behind the incident. (Consume 20 heat points)"

"Please choose between 1 and 2."

When Angel saw the text on the screen, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the consumption of "Traffic Insight. Virality" had changed.

It turns out that this is how the maximum consumption of 40 heat points is achieved.

If you want to find the "real murderer" and expose the "pusher" of an incident at the same time, you will have to consume 40 heat points; if you only choose one of them, it will only cost 20 heat points.

This is better.

Angel was originally worried that he would not be able to experience the effect of 40 heat points, but now he only needs to accumulate some more heat points to experience two 20 heat point projects respectively.

It can be said that I have fully experienced the effect of "traffic insight and virality".

"Choose the second one." Angel did not hesitate and chose the second one directly according to his original idea.

As for the first option, Angle is not interested at the moment.

The reason is still the same, because the doomsday virus has not broken out and few people know about it, so even if Angel is involved in this matter, he is not deeply involved in the copy itself.

But once this matter is exposed, when everyone knows about it and pays attention to it, Angel, as the core figure in this matter, will inevitably be heavily involved in the cause and effect.

Even if this one thing alone was not enough to prevent Angel from leaving the modern city.

But little by little, if you do this too often, it will definitely lead to too many entanglements.

So, I don’t plan to choose the first one at the moment.

Even if it is just a test effect, it may not necessarily be exposed; but "viralization" is still different from ordinary traffic insights. For the sake of caution, it is better to give priority to other events when testing.

As Ingres made his choice, Turing's small TV began to become "distorted". After a while, a blurry human figure appeared on the small TV.

The figure doesn't look real, as if it's filtered through fog.

From this point, it can be confirmed that the other party must be a fashion magician.

Although the figure's specific appearance could not be seen clearly, some details showed the office the person was in and the hospital logo hanging behind him.

Angel still recognized the other person's identity.

It was Henrietta's father, the vice president of the Fashion Guild...Horace Beverly.

Ingres was actually a little surprised when he saw Horace appear on the screen.

He knew that it was Horace who was the real culprit who caused Henrietta to be so miserable and made her an experimental subject.

But the "incident" that Angel is investigating this time is not the cause of Henrietta's tragedy, but who is the cause of the "mutated weird virus".

In other words, who was the culprit who caused Henrietta to be infected with the virus even though she had been vaccinated?

Angel thought it would be some mad scientist.

Or maybe a mouse or insect that was quietly mutating in a dark and damp cave accidentally came into contact with Henrietta while carrying the mutated virus, infecting her.

result!

The culprit of the mutant virus is actually Henrietta's father? !
In other words, Henrietta's infection with the virus was probably not an accident, but her father's deliberate act? !

Well... Angel still underestimated the evil of human nature. Horace could do this to his own daughter. He completely lost his humanity and treated his daughter more cruelly than his enemy.

Just as Angel was sighing, several more images appeared on the small TV screen.

A character appears in every picture.

Judging from the degree of blurriness, most of them are fashion magicians. From their uniform white coats, we can tell that they are most likely doctors or researchers.

Angel: "These are..."

Turing: "These are all people who have participated in this matter. No matter how much they have participated, as long as they have participated, they will be able to see through it."

Angel: ...Viral traffic insights, are they so brutal?

Not only the main culprit is shown, but also the accomplices and even those who play tricks are shown?

Turing: "By the way, Traffic Insight can sense that there are deeper players at the source of the mutated virus. However, it seems that the other party is not in this world and cannot be identified."

"So, the biggest participants right now are those people just mentioned."

After hearing Turing's words, Angel immediately thought of the situation when Henrietta's consciousness escaped into the "dark corner".

If the other party is not in this world, then either he or she does not exist in this copy, or he or she is in another dimension, such as... a dark corner.

It seems that the source of the mutant weird virus is not only her father Horace, but may also be related to the dark corner.

Although this answer is somewhat unexpected, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

Perhaps, Hollus is not the real culprit, but someone in a dark corner is.

Think of dark corners.

Angel suddenly remembered another mission he had - the disappearing knight.

This mission is definitely related to Dark Corner, and the condition for completing the mission is to find the truth about the disappearance of the former Noble Knight.

Angel had previously used the God's perspective to investigate the residence of the former noble knight, but did not find any clues. At that time, Angel thought about going to the scene in person to take a look.

However, even if you go there in person, the probability of finding clues will not be very high.

But now, he suddenly had an idea.

"Traffic Insights. Virality" can detect the hidden masterminds behind an incident, and the disappearance of the former noble knight is undoubtedly a major event.

So, can we use traffic insights to find out the truth behind it?
If it were possible, it would be much easier to complete the task.

Thinking of this, Ingres was eager to try it out.

However, before investigating the truth behind this mission, there is a prerequisite, and that is... the heat point.

There are only 4 hot spots left.

He still needs to wait until the heat point is restored... and he also plans to test the effect of "Traffic Insight. Virality" in heating up the heat.

Therefore, he not only had to wait for the heat points to recover for one round, but for two rounds before he could go to the residence of the former noble knight and find out the truth.

However, the variety show that remains on the first floor of the nursing center is no longer as effective in restoring popularity as before.

Perhaps, we need to find a way to open source it.
