67.15% I’m In Charge of SCP / Chapter 184: Non-existent Division

Kapitel 184: Non-existent Division

"No, this is the building on the right." Zhang Jue said with a frown.

After he finished, Yang Xue also looked outside and found that this was indeed the case. That main building appeared on their left this time. They were originally supposed to be on the tenth floor of the building on the left, but now they appeared on the 28th floor of the building on the right.

The time was also late at night. It was like they had drunk too much, and all the memories of that time had disappeared.

"Ugh…" Yang Xue covered her forehead and tried hard to remember, "What happened?"

Zhang Jue was also unable to answer this question because he also didn't remember anything. The last thing both of them remembered was the moment he opened the door. After opening the door, they didn't remember whether they went in or not. There was absolutely no way to know what they experienced back then. Most importantly, Gray and his security team were completely missing.

"We should have encountered some kind of item that will make people lose their memories." Yang Xue said.

Zhang Jue cupped his chin and didn't say anything, and after a moment, said, "Let's go back to the main building first."

The situation was unclear, and they didn't linger here much longer. Zhang Jue flicked on his flashlight, and the two of them made their way down quickly, descending to the first floor. But just as they came out of the building on the right, they felt that something wasn't quite right.

It should have been around one or two AM, but the main building was in pitch black. No more guards were guarding the guard tower. The steps in front of the main building had been covered with a thick layer of fine sand, and it looked like they hadn't been cleaned for at least a few days.

There were no footprints on them either. This means that no one has walked from here for at least a few days. It looks like they were unconscious for more than just a few days.

They looked at each other and slowly pushed open the door of the building. The inside of the building was a mess, and there were many signs of battle inside. But there was no blood and no dead bodies.

The researcher who had been left here by Gray and the few remaining security team members were not seen alive or dead. Yang Xue followed Zhang Jue, frowning the whole time.

What had happened here? Were those people gone or dead? There was no way to know.

Zhang Jue walked ahead. Yang Xue wanted to communicate with him but held back from disturbing him.

"We're a bit scattered and rushed for a moment." Zhang Jue suddenly said.

Sure enough, she had thought of that too.

Yang Xue nodded, "We should get a clear picture of the main building first before exploring the other two."

"That's alright. It's not too late for us." Zhang Jue hummed, regaining his posture, "But it's just a bit of a hassle. Hey, the most annoying thing is we're stuck in this kind of situation."

The two of them had spent a lot of time together, and Zhang Jue hadn't intentionally hidden his expression. Yang Xue knew at first glance that he already had an idea.

Yang Xue looked at him, "Do you know something?"

"What exactly is contained here, I can probably guess it. I only need more evidence."

...

The two of them ate something and then started searching inside the main building. The entire site's control room for water and electricity was here, including the workshop for synthesizing proteins. But again, there had been no one here to control it for several days.

The roots of some water-planted vegetables had started to rot. I'm afraid there are no living people on the entire site unless they could access food from thin air whenever and wherever they wanted, like Zhang Jue.

The two of them arrived at the top floor, where there was only one room - the Supervisor's office. The door was locked, but this was not difficult for Zhang Jue to break in. He kicked the solid wood door right through, then reached in and unlocked the lock.

They entered the room and turned on the lights. The room showed obvious signs of having been tossed around. Zhang Jue came to the desk and found that the computer had been smashed, the hard drive had been burned, and there was a pile of burn marks on the floor.

It looked like someone had gotten there first. All the information had been destroyed. There was a black notebook on the desk, with a very delicate cover. But it seemed to be quite old, as the paper inside was slightly yellowed. Some part of the middle of the notebook had been violently torn out, leaving only a pile of scraps of pages.

Zhang Jue flipped through it casually and found that whatever had content had been torn out, leaving all the blank pages. He grunted and tossed the notebook back onto the table with no manner. He had never had much patience for these things.

Yang Xue shook her head helplessly, took the notebook into her own hands, and carefully flipped through page after page. After turning a few pages, she hummed.

Zhang Jue looked at her, but Yang Xue did not say anything. She picked up a pencil from the pencil holder on the table and quickly drew on a blank page. Her pencil was in a strange position, sketching, and she quickly filled up the page.

Zhang Jue saw that a word slowly appeared in the bottom right corner of the page. This technique allowed her to rewrite the word on the back page by drawing it with a pencil as long as the handwriting on the previous page was hard enough. Zhang Jue had played with it when he was a child, But he wasn't as meticulous as Yang Xue and couldn't spot that slight trace.

Looking at her results, Zhang Jue was overjoyed. "Dr. Yang, you did it. You found something."

Yang Xue sighed, "Those difficult and dangerous jobs are all for you to do. I can only do these insignificant things."

Yang Xue's hands kept moving, and a minute later, she finished the last stroke. She gently exhaled. Under her careful drawing, the word had clearly surfaced on the paper. It was an English word. Yang Xue looked at it and her brows knitted deeply.

She had a double degree in Biology, and Organic Chemistry, and Domestic and Foreign Literature. He doesn't know how many languages she's proficient in, but her vocabulary is even larger than most foreigners. But she had never seen this word before.

Zhang Jue's attention shifted elsewhere after seeing that it was in English. With his half-assed standard, he was not even as good as a junior high school student. He thought Yang Xue must be okay, but it didn't seem that way when looking at her expression.

"Come on. Show me." Zhang Jue held out his hand.

Yang Xue looked up at him, and although she didn't open her mouth. Two words were written on her face, "Really? You?"

"Don't look down on me." Zhang Jue hummed, "When I was in elementary school, I scored over 80 in English."

80 points in English in elementary school? What a nerve you have to say. Yang Xue smiled and shook his head but still handed him the notebook. Taking the notebook from Yang Xue, Zhang Jue took a closer look at the word.

Sure enough, he didn't know it. But it was familiar. He searched through his memory palace and soon found the answer.

"Nice!" he snapped his fingers, and things were really going as he thought they would.

"You really know?" Yang Xue looked at him in surprise.

Zhang Jue laughed, "Yang Xue, this word is very simple. It looks like you must not have listened well in elementary school. Now let teacher Zhang teach you about A-n-t-i-m-e-m-e-t-i-c. It means it's the opposite of Meme itself."

"Antimemetic?" Yang Xue repeated subconsciously.

"Yes, Antimemetic." Zhang Jue nodded, "If I'm right, this should be the Foundation's Antimemetics Divison."

Yang Xue looked at him, "I know about Memetics, and I know about the Memetics Division. But I've never heard that the Foundation has a Division called the Antimemetics Division."

This was probably the standard knowledge for the vast majority of Foundation employees.

Zhang Jue sighed, "Indeed, in the eyes of most people. The Antimemetics Divison had never existed, but they do exist and have saved humanity."

...

To know what an Antimemetic is, let's first review the concept of Meme itself. It has already been introduced in I don't know how many chapters before.

A meme is a concept or information that is contagious. It is contagious through the exchange of information from person to person and can spread at a very fast rate. If the information also causes unpredictable harm in the process of spreading, then it is considered a memetichazard.

The Foundation has many Memetic SCP in its collection. For example, Zhang Jue encountered the SCP-701 (The Hanged King's Tragedy) earlier. Whether an item has memetic properties or not depends on whether it can be transmitted and spread widely.

In contrast, the "Antimemetic" is to prevent the spread of the concept. Antimemetics also exist in real life.

For example, you use a random string of PINs or passcode for your bank card and make it as obscure as possible. Thus, preventing you from remembering it easily and needs to be noted every time you want to use it.

The Antimemetic anomalies are those SCPs that prevent themselves from being discovered or known, the exact opposite of Memetic itself. There is no better-known Antimemetic SCP than SCP-055 "[Unknown]".

SCP-055 object class is Keter. It can be observed freely, no matter how it is observed and recorded. The information about SCP-055 will not be remembered. People will lose interest in the object and gradually forget about it.

Then one day, the records of the object differ for each person who observed it, and it caused panic. The Foundation sends someone to observe and record it, only resulting in being forgotten again. The cycle repeats every time.

There is a large amount of documentation about SCP-055, but it is impossible to study it because it is impossible to remember. So far, the Foundation's description of it is summarized in four words: It's definitely not round.

In fact, SCP-055 is not a perfect Antimemetic object. Because people still remember what it is not, there will be people who will notice the existence of SCP-055 from time to time, which will lead to it being studied and discovered.

A genuinely remarkable Antimemetic object is the one that is clearly right in front of you, but you keep forgetting about it. Compared to other SCPs with horrific destructive power like SCP-682. While Antimemetic SCP is not really lethal, it's placed at the top of the list of all types of SCP objects regarding how dangerous it is.

Because there is a good chance that one day, a person, a group of people, or even hundreds of millions and billions of people will disappear and die for no reason, and the world will not even know they ever existed.

Humans fear of the unknown. When you face an unknown enemy, how can you fight against it? And the Antimemetic is that kind of enemy. It plays with your mind and makes you doubt yourself and its existence.

What does not exist is truly unrivaled because it has no enemy at all. No move is better than a move. In order to fight against such an enemy, the Foundation has set up a special "Antimemetics Division", but because of the nature of the Antimemetics itself, this department is not well known.

In the documents Zhang Jue saw, they had already died with an Antimemetics SCP object. The unsung heroes could still be called heroes because someone remembered them. Even those Antimemetics Division leaders were not remembered by many. They disappear into history in silence, and even their blood relatives and flesh and blood will forget them.

When Zhang Jue finished telling these stories to Yang Xue, she showed an incredulous expression. She never knew that the Foundation would have such a group of people making sacrifices for the survival of humanity.

The Foundation itself was an organization that lurked in the darkness, and the Antimemetics Division lived ever further in the darkness. From life to death, no one remembers their existence.

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue, "Then my father--"

Zhang Jue nodded, "He most likely joined the Antimemetics Division and became a part of them."

After confirming that this was the Antimemetics Division building, some questions were solved. The first was that Yang Xue's father isn't likely to be someone that Yang Xue and Yang Wenbai imagined. He actually existed and joined the Antimemetics Division.

Although Zhang Jue had speculated this, but now it can be said that they have some supporting evidence. The drugs that were missing in the medical wards, which could be confirmed as well. That all the drugs were to restore memory.

Several memory deletion techniques, such as Foundation Amnestics, and several memory recovery drugs, such as Mnestics. The staff at the Antimemetic Division are very demanding on their memory because they have been dealing with Antimemetic-based SCP for a long time.

While they train their memory ability, they usually take some memory-enhancing drugs. Only then they can remember those damn SCP and contain them. But most of the time, some SCPs will make them forget to take the drugs and thus forget everything they have experienced before.

Although the Foundation has set up this division, its support is very limited because most of the time. They are in a state of oblivion. Even if there are people like Yang Wensong who were sent over, they lose their reputation because it is too difficult to find people like him.

It was undeniable that there was no telling how many human skeletons were buried in the middle of this desert. With this in mind, Zhang Jue did not contact the Foundation in the first place because there was little use other than to send more cannon fodder over.

In this place, the only one who could save them was themselves.

"But there is one thing that is strange." Yang Xue said, "Why do we still remember so much?"

"The reason is simple. You still remember because your father did something to you. As for me, of course, I can resist some of their abilities."

"So, what do we do now?"

"You're the one is the Foundation's doctor, doesn't it obvious?" Zhang Jue waved his hand, "Of course, we find that Antimemetic SCP. Whether it is round or flat, all of them are dead to me!"

Kapitel 185: Backup

"Good, then let's get going." Seeing that Zhang Jue was full of confidence, Yang Xue nodded and headed outside. Zhang Jue made a hand slash that struck her above the neck when she turned her head.

"Ugh..."

Before she passed out, Yang Xue turned around and looked at Zhang Jue with disbelief. She had never thought that Zhang Jue would sneak up on her, so she didn't have the slightest defense. Before Yang Xue fell down, Zhang Jue caught her.

"Don't get the wrong idea." Zhang Jue looked at Yang Xue in his arms and smiled faintly, "Doctor Yang, it's dangerous here. So you'd better get some sleep first and leave the rest to me, the Great Advisor Zhang."

Yang Xue's lips twitched, wanting to say something, but her eyelids grew heavy, eventually falling into a deep sleep. Zhang Jue took out a small syringe. He stuck a needle in Yang Xue's arm. This injection would ensure that she would not wake up for 48 hours while maintaining her nutritional supply.

After doing this, he carried the unconscious Yang Xue all the way to the terrace on the roof of the building and then took out a small flight pod from his Pocket Dimension. This small flight pod was shaped like a capsule, powered by the solid fuel developed by the Foundation, and could fly over half the planet.

This was what Zhang Jue had asked Lei Shan for. Two months ago, when Smith had disappeared. Lei Shan had promised him a favor if he could get Smith back. After it was over, Zhang Jue had asked Leshan for one of these. It was meant to save his life, and he set the destination of the flight pod to Site-14.

After 48 hours, if he didn't lift the command, the flight pod would activate itself. As long as they were still on Earth, the pod would take Yang Xue back to Site-14.

After doing this, Zhang Jue clapped his hands. He did so because he was also not sure of getting out in one piece and had to leave some backup plan this time. Antimemetic can be said to be one of the types of SCP that cause the most headaches for the Foundation. Because of its self-shielding nature, discovering them is hard.

Most likely, it is right in front of you at this moment, but you can't just realize it. It's not as easy as he says to deal with them, or the Antimemetics Division would not have been wiped out.

He acted relaxed and casual before because he didn't want to let Yang Xue have too much pressure, thus affecting her judgment. In fact, what they are about to face is an unprecedented challenge. The ones they had encountered before, whether it was the Site-14 Infiltration or the Chlamydia town. This situation was also very critical.

But Zhang Jue had never been worried just because he was strong on his own. The most important thing was that no matter how bad things got, there was the Foundation to cover the problem. Those thirteen O5s and the countless powerful forces behind them backed him up. No matter what problems arose, they could be resolved.

Under that kind of situation, Zhang Jue could do anything he wanted. But this time was different.

They were facing the Antimemetic Hazard. It was the same Antimemetic that even the Foundation had nearly been played to death. One mistake and they would be just like those predecessors before them, remaining unnoticed until they died.

And in his memory, there happens to be a terrifying one - SCP-3125. Among the Antimemetic Hazard SCP, 3125 is a famous one. It is the culprit of the rapid demise of Antimeme effects on people worldwide.

In ████, over 400 institutions have found SCP-3125 in their research. This included government agencies, military branches, private companies, independent research institutes, university research programs, and amateur groups. And by now, all of these organizations no longer exist. Leaving only the Foundation's Antimemetics Division.

Sadly, almost no one in the world knew about this, and there is no explanation for the disappearance of these groups. The most likely scenario is that all of them were devoured by the discovery of SCP-3125, which is, in fact, the ultimate fate of all Antimemetic Hazard.

SCP-3125 is a highly dangerous complex of memes and aAntimemes from beyond our reality. The Foundation can only reverse its containment by creating a containment room without SCP-3125.

One of the most frightening features of SCP-3125 is that when someone observes and perceives it, it will cause SCP-3125 also to perceive that person and then completely erase the existence of everyone, including relatives, colleagues, and friends. It is almost impossible to contain such an anomaly.

But the Foundation's excellent employees in the Antimemetics Division did it anyway. Of course, the cost was the total destruction of the Division.

The head of the Antimemetics Division left behind those very famous words.

"None of this ever happened. Neither you nor I ever existed. There is no Antimemetics Division."

Although the process was very convoluted, in the end, thanks to the combined efforts of her husband, Adam Wheeler and Dr. Hughes, SCP-3215 was Neutralized entirely.

At one point while reading this story, Zhang Jue was moved. There are always those remarkable people who protect all of humanity in unknown places.

Back to reality.

The reason why Zhang Jue knocked Yang Xue out was that he didn't know if SCP-3125 was Neutralized or not under the timeline of this world. If the answer is no, then his head's perception of SCP-3125 would also make SCP-3125 notice him and, subsequently, Yang Xue beside him.

Although he was not from this universe, Yang Xue did not seem to be linked to him. He still did not dare to take the risk. That said, even if SCP-3125 had been Neutralized, then there would be other items such as SCP-4125 and SCP-5125 among this site that contained the Antimemetic SCPs, which are also as terrifying as SCP-3125.

Zhang Jue was really not sure that he could protect Yang Xue. After all, the attack mechanism of the Antimemetic objects was bizarre. It wasn't that he could just avoid it by being careful. The most likely scenario was that you were already too deep into it to pull yourself out by the time you discovered it.

Zhang Jue thought so as he made his way down through the main building. Once again, he arrived above the square in the center of the three buildings.

At this time, the sky was already white. But the sky was filled with dark clouds, so it was obvious that it would not be a good day.

Zhang Jue looked around. Left or right, that was the question.

"Eenie Minnie Miny Moe"

Zhang Jue switched to a "scientific" approach and eventually headed for the building on the right. His thinking was quite simple. Since they woke up in the building on the right, something must have happened to draw them here.

Going to the building on the left again would most likely greet him with yet another memory loss, which simply wouldn't help. The best weapon against Antimemetic is actually memory-assisting drugs. But for some reason, all the drugs on this site had disappeared. This made it much more difficult for Zhang Jue to contain those Antimemetic SCP.

The area was lit up, and even without a flashlight, he could still see the path beneath him. He made his way up the stairs. Like in the building on the left, the stairs and corridors here were covered with a thin layer of fine sand.

There were only footprints from when he and Yang Xue had just gone down, and it was completely unknown how they had come up. He climbed a few floors and checked the rooms he passed by one by one but found nothing.

All the rooms were empty, not even a single person or a mouse. It would only be a waste of time to continue like this. After thinking about it, Zhang Jue finally took out one of his divine weapons from the Pocket Dimension.
