Wang Qi and Ananna had dinner at a familiar restaurant near Tong County No. 5 Middle School.
Suddenly I heard the diners sitting next to me discussing the Happy Rabbit incident that has become a big hit on the Internet recently.
"I am very impressed by this film. I must have seen it when I was a child."
"Did you remember wrongly? There is no such cartoon!"
"Impossible, I really saw it."
"Everyone knows that this movie doesn't exist at all."
After hearing these discussions, Ananna asked Wang Qi curiously: "Brother Qi, do you have any impressions of this cartoon?"
She heard Li Shiyu, Xiao Gao and others mentioned this cartoon, and the Spiritual Management Bureau was also investigating it recently.
But Ananna, who has lived abroad since she was a child, must have never seen it.
"We in Fentou Village had only one TV when I was a kid, and we could only receive the signal from one station. I never watched cartoons when I was a kid." Wang Qi shook his head.
Ananna said quickly: "Brother Qi, I didn't expect that your life was so hard when you were a child."
"That's not true." Wang Qi said with a smile, "Although there are no TVs or game consoles in the mountain village, there are still many interesting things."
As he spoke, he fell into memories.
For example, go to the mountains and forests to catch all kinds of interesting bugs, or go exploring in the ravines.
"When the weather is dry, there are little lights floating in the dark mountains and forests, and the sky is filled with stars." Wang Qi was intoxicated when he recalled his childhood.
"A little firelight?"
Ananna also became interested: "Is it a firefly?"
"No, we don't have fireflies there." Wang Qi explained, "It's the will-o'-the-wisps floating from the graveyard at the head of the village. It's so beautiful at night..."
Ananna: "..."
Now that you say it, it feels like you had a harder time when you were a child...
The diners at the next table were quarreling even more fiercely, probably because they had drunk some wine, and they almost started fighting.
The restaurant owner looked nervous.
This made Wang Qi unbearable.
"Stop arguing, I'm an expert on this kind of thing, just listen to me." Wang Qi immediately went over to educate them.
He has also paid attention to this matter in the past two days.
Many people on the Internet began to talk about memory modification and timeline changes, so such profound things will no longer be seen!
He thinks this may be the Mandela effect.
Happy Rabbit is an animation based on a rabbit.
There are countless similar cartoons. Who can remember all the cartoons they watched when they were children? Many of them may only leave vague impressions.
When I see someone discussing a related topic on the Internet, it is easy for me to automatically recall that I have also watched this cartoon.
"Of course, there may be such a cartoon, but no one on the Internet has come up with concrete evidence so far. No relevant clips have appeared, and many people have different images of Happy Rabbit based on their impressions."
Wang Qi finally concluded: "So I think this cartoon does not exist at all."
Wang Qi's popular science helped the guests at this table stop quarreling.
Then... they looked at Wang Qi unhappily.
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean others haven't seen it!" an older brother said to Wang Qi.
The line "The Mandela Effect" is often seen online.
But he clearly remembered watching the animation. What kind of effect could explain this?
There might be some conspiracy here!
"I'm telling you, buddy..." He walked over to Wang Qi smelling of alcohol.
But before he finished speaking, he heard a "squeaking" sound of brakes coming from outside.
Looking out the door of the hotel, I saw a car with a long and narrow body drifting to the door of the hotel.
On the side of the car facing the hotel, there is also a slogan: The hearse drifts, and all evils are warded off.
The diners were stunned on the spot.
Hearses are rare, but it is even rarer to use one for drifting...
Wang Qi and Ananna hurriedly walked out of the hotel.
The hearse opened, and Xiao Zhan got out of it: "Is dinner ready?"
Nothing can affect this girl's meal!
The passenger door was pushed open, and a pale pheasant crawled out, mouthed "yue", squatted on the ground and vomited.
"What's going on?" Wang Qi asked curiously.
"Oh, maybe I was driving a little bumpy." Xiao Zhan guessed.
Pheasant shook his hand vigorously. It was a bit bumpy. All the bones in his body were about to fall apart, okay?
"You went to have a meal at noon, why did you come back at this time?" Ananna asked strangely, where did you go to have a big meal?
"I took him for a ride by the way." Xiaozhan explained.
There was no way she would admit that she got lost on the way back... asking would be a joyride.
"That's it." Wang Qi smiled. Xiao Zhan had just learned to drive, so he would inevitably want to drive more often. He also reminded, "Be careful when driving in the future."
Pheasant nodded repeatedly beside him, "Little Sister Zhan, you don't have to think too much about your own safety."
The main thing is to consider the safety of others...
Wang Qi got into the car again and drove the car far away.
The restaurant owner would definitely not be happy to put it here.
When Wang Qi went to park the car, Pheasant was still squatting on the ground retching, so Ananna patted him on the back and asked, "What did you eat for lunch?"
Pheasant looked at Xiao Zhan: "Eating banquet..."
"Eat a banquet?" Annana was stunned for a moment before realizing that this meant a casual activity.
She immediately looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise.
Is this what you take your new employees to for a big dinner?
Well, she shouldn't have expected Xiao Zhan to really act in a normal way.
Xiaozhang is quite proud. To put it bluntly, no one is more professional than her in eating and drinking.
She also said to Pheasant: "Then I will take you to eat Xisa next time."
Agu and Ahua are responsible for the underworld police in the Qingling City area. This position is simply the underworld police.
Is there any house nearby that does free things? The door is clear!
Pheasant: "yue——"
When Wang Qi parked the car and came back, Shan Ji and Xiao Zhan were already sitting at the dining table.
Although the pheasant almost vomited and turned pale, Xiao Zhan was not affected at all and still ordered from the boss and ordered a lot of food.
After settling them, Wang Qi remembered the previous topic.
Then he continued to talk to the elder brother just now: "What did you want to say just now?"
"..."
The elder brother had already woken up from his previous drunkenness.
When I saw the hearse, I thought it was specially used for funerals... I was a little scared.
"It's nothing. I thought about it carefully and thought this might be the Mandela Effect. We remembered it wrong..." he continued.
"You are right to think so." Wang Qi suddenly looked pleased.
His popular science is so convincing.
…
Inside the camp tent outside Guimen Village in Digou Mountain.
It was in the morning, and Xiao Gao received relevant investigation reports from the Spiritual Administration Bureau.
"The animation Happy Rabbit was established twenty-three years ago, but due to the accidental death of the animator, it was not released..."
Xiao Gao read through the investigation reports and already understood the cause of this incident.
The Spirit Management Bureau investigated and found that a group of Internet trolls and marketing accounts were involved.
They accepted the order and built momentum online to promote the cartoon.
Let everyone discuss whether they have seen such a cartoon.
However, the Spiritual Administration Bureau has not yet investigated who is actually pushing it and what is its purpose.
In the Internet age, many supernatural phenomena rely on the Internet to spread.
In the tent, Lao Chen was packing things nearby.
They can't stay in the mountains all the time. They have to go back to the city every once in a while to replenish supplies.
Linlin stood next to Lao Chen and asked him to help her carry her things.
"Old Chen, when you return to Qingling, please contact Zhang Li. She is in Qingling and asked you to help bring something." Xiao Gao took his mind back from the report and said as he remembered something.
His tone was quite impatient.
This immediately made Lao Chen feel a little confused. Is it great to have a girlfriend?
Linlin couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lao Chen's look.
"Why are you laughing? You are not single like me." Lao Chen said unconvinced.
"I'm different. There are a lot of people chasing me. I don't know how many people are in Qi Ge's live broadcast room. They want to ask Shiyu for my contact information." Linlin said proudly.
Lao Chen's eyes lit up: "Is there still this matter? Are there any female fans who want my contact information?"
"No."
Linlin answered very simply, she had obviously asked specifically.
"It's impossible, it's unscientific..."
Lao Chen touched his face. He doesn't look ugly, right?
"The main reason is that Brother Qi is a live broadcaster of supernatural adventures, and the fans are mainly boys." Linlin analyzed from the side, "Even if there are female fans, there is no reason for you to stand with Brother Qi and want to contact you, right?"
"..." Lao Chen thought about Brother Qi's image and was speechless.
A little frustrated, I picked up my things and walked out of the tent.
