Only I Walk Alone

After Xiao Luo’s exclamation, everyone looked down at their feet, and then, they saw an eye as large as the entire room’s floor. The sclera of the eye was black, while the iris was white. From this eye, Wu Ge and the others could not see any emotions that belonged to this creature.

The moment they saw the eye, they felt as if some presence from the abyss was peering at them. At the same time, a faintly cold aura enveloped everyone, and it seemed as if countless dead people appeared around them, continuously talking and trying to pull them, as if to drag them into the abyss.

Frightened, Xiao Luo immediately unfolded her bat wings, and Ya Yi also floated up right away.

Wu Ge was also quick to react; he immediately recited a spell, and a golden light suddenly appeared all around him. The Golden Essence Sword, emitting a golden glow, appeared in his hand, and a scorching aura continuously flowed around him.

The moment this scorching aura appeared, all the cold air around them vanished, and at the same time, the suddenly appeared eye also closed. Once the eye closed, the floor returned to its original state.

Sugro, the Eye of the Demon, it suddenly appeared under everyone’s feet when they thought of the “eye.” If not for Wu Ge’s Golden Essence Sword frightening it away, it probably would have swallowed them up.

Wu Ge furrowed his brow: “So we really shouldn’t think of the word ‘eye’? But if that’s the case, wouldn’t all the ophthalmologists disappear?”

The Fox Immortal, the most experienced and powerful among them, spoke up: “It’s because we saw its true form. It’s like before you dispelled the illusion, Wu Ge, you had seen my true form. Only if you have seen my true form can you summon me into your dreams. Otherwise, merely thinking of ‘eyes’ won’t summon it.”

Wu Ge carefully recalled the appearance of the monster. He didn’t know what abilities the monster possessed, but it seemed to suddenly appear on walls, ceilings, and floors, changing size according to different surfaces, and the monster looked exactly like the eye, except the sclera was black and the iris was white.

The white iris was incredibly creepy, as if connected to the void, and just thinking about this bizarre eye would make one feel like something on the wall behind was staring at them.

Fortunately, the people present were not ordinary; they not only possessed great power but could also perfectly control their minds. They could manage their thoughts and directly cut off any ideas related to the eye.

But while they could do it, it didn’t mean others could as well. Suddenly, Xiao Chao issued an alarm: “Level two alert, level two alert, a ranch in City 67, a library in City 95, and a stadium in City 156 have all disappeared!”

Wu Ge was startled and said, “This is bad, the meme has spread!”

Ordinary memes, we can understand as catchphrases like “True Fragrance” or “AWSL” that spread very quickly and also undergo mutations with individual interpretations, such as “AWSL” having undergone several mutations and carrying various meanings. These are harmless information memes.

However, malicious memes like a curse possess great danger. This type of malicious meme, in its spreading process, stirs human fear, then terrible monsters come, and this monster might even mutate differently based on different people’s understanding.

In an instant, Wu Ge understood how the meme had spread. It must have been that someone found a message posted in virtual space by the owner of the previously disappeared house, because that message triggered others’ fear and made them subconsciously associate the eye with disappearance.

Then, the terrifying black and white eye appeared, and then, like a black hole, it swallowed everything on the ground!

After realizing this, Wu Ge immediately shouted, “Immediately implement network control, prevent the meme from spreading through the internet, and then find a death row inmate to expose to this black and white eye. We need to lure this monster out and kill it!”

Xiao Chao said, “Request recorded… executing now. Network control has been completed, executing the second task, randomly selecting a death row inmate scheduled for execution soon… Selection complete, orders issued, beginning the transfer of the inmate.”

Wu Ge then said, “Prepare the Creation Particles, wait for the monster to appear, and immediately use the Creation Particles to seal it. Since it exists because of a meme, the Creation Particles should definitely be able to seal it.” Xiao Chao responded, “Request recorded, executing, please wait.”

Wu Ge then turned to the Fox Immortal and the others, saying, “It’s our turn to act. If we don’t capture or kill this monster, we’ll never have peace!”

These meme-driven monsters are the most troublesome because they exist in connection with the minds of living beings. Just by thinking of ‘eyes’ and ‘disappearance,’ the monster would appear. This was truly terrifying and could not be ignored.

The group left the shelter and then headed to the armory to equip themselves with weapons.

In a secret base, there was a special armory, equipped with the most advanced weapons of current technology.

For example, the ultra-thin powered armor made from Creation Particles felt like wearing a piece of clothing. It was not only stylish but also not cumbersome in movement, while also offering strong defense. Since it was made using Creation Particles, it could also withstand various mental attacks, but once the helmet was on, their mental powers could not penetrate the armor.

Therefore, they usually did not wear the helmets.

Besides powered armor, the armory naturally had various other weapons, like the Netherworld Steel Sword brought back by Wu Ge from a region, the Thunder Wood Sword made from thousand-year-old thunder-struck wood, and various technological weapons, such as electromagnetic pulse guns, laser guns, and smart guns.

It could be said that the armory gathered weapons of various types from the divine, demon, technological, and netherworld races, so no matter what kind of enemy they faced, they could choose the appropriate weapon!

After preparing, they immediately headed to the battlefield prepared by Xiao Chao, who had already selected the death row inmate and transported the inmate to the mission location.

It was a straightforward bait plan, but they were facing a monster driven by a meme, which likely couldn’t discern that it was a trap.

However, just then, Xiao Chao suddenly sent a new message: “A huge black and white eye has appeared on the moon, and the Earthlings on the other side of the Earth have already spotted that eye!”

Wu Ge was startled and asked, “What does that mean? Does it intend to swallow the whole Earth?”

Xiao Chao said, “The eye still exists and is growing larger. More and more people on the other side of Earth are discovering this eye.”

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow, looked at Ya Yi, and then said, “Sister Ya Yi, immediately issue a divine decree to calm the public, to prevent people’s fear from growing. Xiao Luo, work with Xiao Chao to create a super sky screen, and then cover the moon. Fox Immortal, come with me to the moon to kill this monster!”
