Chapter 340: Megan: A Failed Investigation
Everly’s first encounter with the Megan Group was when she was in elementary school.
At the time, she was getting her teeth replaced rather late and went to a dental clinic for an examination, only to discover that the clinic had already been acquired by the Megan Group. Everly was restrained inside the clinic and forced to watch the so-called Megan Medical Group “promotional film” from beginning to end.
That film was extremely contaminating. According to Rebecca, after watching it, Everly automatically established a connection with some unknown deity and became its believer. It was only after suffering terribly that Everly eventually managed to sever that link of faith and restore her mental world to a state of purity.
The next time Everly heard the name Megan Medical Group, she was already in junior high school.
That year, the United States was rocked by the globally infamous “Butterfly Fall Incident.” Terminally ill actress Seradiya, seeking eternal life, willingly cooperated with the Megan Medical Group and distributed a contaminated video depicting people jumping from buildings.
Anyone who watched the video would become involuntarily obsessed with it. Eventually, they would be completely infected and become Seradiya’s “believers,” scrambling to leap from rooftops and offer up their lives for Seradiya’s resurrection.
Remia once revealed during a casual conversation that, at this stage, the Megan Medical Group’s main goal had been “artificially creating a god.”
The dental incident had been a kind of “preliminary feasibility study” for them. The Megan Group wanted to use the dental video to verify whether faith could be spread through video.
The result of the experiment was: yes, it could.
