Zhang Jue carefully picked up the flash drive and carefully observed its appearance. It was about the same size as an ordinary USB flash drive, and the color was black.
On one side, it was written something: Factory Porn.
Zhang Jue opened the laptop he had borrowed from Du Jingtian and inserted the USB drive into the USB port. The laptop quickly recognized the presence of the USB drive and did a round of automatic scanning, finding no viruses of any kind. Zhang Jue saw that the file inside the USB drive was only 1KB in size on the laptop.
Shit!
He'd expected to see a few gigabytes of content.
Zhang Jue entered the flash drive's folder. Found only a program named "Thefactory.exe 2.0" inside. Zhang Jue disconnected the computer network and double-click just to be sure. A dialog box popped up with the logo "The Factory" written on it.
Then the letters disappeared, and a string of text appeared: What do you want to see?
Seeing this, Zhang Jue was almost sure what this thing was, but he continued to test it. He randomly typed in a name: Tebukao Videos.
Immediately afterward, a set of indescribable pictures popped up. Zhang Jue randomly clicked on a picture, and a video was opened, which contained a video with a simple plot starring Tebukao. Zhang Jue let out a dry heave and immediately turned the video off.
He hit his hand hard because he saw someone and couldn't believe it himself. The one and the only person he wouldn't have mistaken. It was only at this point that Zhang Jue could finally determine what this flash drive really was.
SCP-1004 – Factory Porn.
...
SCP-1004 is a computer program currently available on CD (SCP-1004-2) and 3.5" floppy disk (SCP-1004-1), both with the label "Factory Porn". It contains a 1KB executable named 'Thefactory.exe', which can be used on all platforms.
A search box will appear when the program is run, and the user can enter some vague or precise keywords at will. The program will then open a set of indescribable images, each of which is linked to a video.
Although none of these movies may have ever been made, it is important to note that viewing the videos in SCP-1004 can have a long-term impact. The more videos viewed, the stronger the sexual impulse who watched them, and the more difficult it is to achieve sexual gratification.
When he heard that indecent pictures of celebrity stars here in this country were leaked, Zhang Jue guessed that SCP-1004 was its cause. But according to the information he remembered, SCP-1004 could not be recorded in any form or by any means and only existed in two forms, a CD and a floppy disk.
Apparently, the USB flash drive in Zhang Jue's hand was a new version of SCP-1004. Not only does it come in the form of a USB flash drive, but the video could also be recorded.
These two updates have transformed the SCP-1004 from a geeky item into a socially disruptive chaotic weapon. It is possible to fake any video of a person and spread it on the internet with this thing. Ordinary people might just be clubbed to death, while if it's really those at the top, they will lose their reputation.
So, this is what the Wright family is looking for. Their goal is not only to win the governor's election. With this kind of thing on their hands, any political enemies of theirs would be in a very unlucky situation, whether they're a domestic or foreign political party.
The impact of it wouldn't be just small. It can cause a worldwide commotion if used correctly by someone with a sinister plan.
He did not expect to find that this was the reason why Smith was being hunted right now. The good thing is now it's in his hand now. Zhang Jue simply wanted to laugh out loud three times.
The task had already been assigned to Smith, he was an Advisor of the Foundation, and he had a lot of time on his hands. So, it wouldn't harm to be lazy once in a while.
Now the question is, whose name should he enter next?
[DATA EXPUNGED]
It was 8 PM. Zhang Jue came to the restaurant for dinner. Stevenson happened to return from outside and handed him a package.
"Advisor Zhang, Smith's application to join the Foundation has been approved. This is the information related to his identity, and according to Mr. Du, the headquarters intends to place him by your side as your assistant temporarily."
"Good." Zhang Jue took the package, didn't even look at it, and put it aside directly.
Stevenson continued, "Advisor Zhang, thanks to you, we could find Smith in just a few days and convinced him to join the Foundation, although I still couldn't help much…."
"Oh, it's okay."
Zhang Jue still simply returned his sentence. Stevenson looked at Zhang Jue. Although Zhang Jue's position is much higher than theirs, he was always easy-going. Except something weird just happened, and it was clear from its looks.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I'm shocked by it.
He saw the always very energetic Advisor Zhang looking not quite right as if he was a bit depressed at that moment.
"Advisor Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Stevenson said with concern, "Are you sick? Let me take you to a doctor."
"No need." Zhang Jue waved his hand, "I'll be fine after I rest. People are getting old. It's time for me to exercise more."
Stevenson sighed, "It's all my fault. I didn't do anything to help. I made Advisor Zhang exhausted by doing everything yourself. If anything happens to your body because of it, I'm afraid I'll be having a hard time thinking about it. Advisor Zhang, please. I must take you to the hospital. Otherwise, I can't live with it."
"No need."
"But I must."
"I said no!"
"No, I must!"
...
Two days later. On the roof of a destroyed clock tower in Philadelphia. Smith was blocked in the corner by a group of black-clothed men. He sat paralyzed, blood gurgling from his thighs. The leader was holding a gun, pointing it at his head from above.
"Now tell us, Where's the stuff!"
Smith's eyes were calm: "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Bullshit!"
The leader of the men in black pulled the trigger. There were two thumps. Smith's legs had two more bloody holes.
As if he could not feel the pain, Smith said, "If you have the guts, kill me."
The leader of the men in black aimed his gun at his head and poked it hard, "You really think I'm scared, don't you?"
Smith put his head on the muzzle of his gun, "If I'm not dead today, then you're just a pussy on the streets."
"You really want to die, huh?!" The leader was so furious that he almost killed Smith and violated the order given by his boss.
Just then, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out. A masked man with a machine gun in his hand fired at them. Several black men were too late to dodge and were all killed by random gunfire. The leader of the black-clothed men died without being able to fire that shot.
The masked man stepped forward and shot the black-clothed men one by one before walking up to the already semi-conscious Smith.
"I told you to find somewhere safe. Why don't you listen to me?"
His voice was hoarse, and his voice seemed to have been extremely badly damaged. He looked at Smith and shook his head slightly. Then squatted down and seemed to want to check Smith's wound. Unexpectedly, Smith suddenly lifted his head and gave him a grin.
The masked man was startled and turned around to try to escape. Behind him, another Smith pointed a gun at his head.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot."
The "Smith" who had fallen to the ground slowly got up, and it looked like the injuries he had suffered before were fake. His face slowly changed and eventually reverted to Zhang Jue's appearance. This was the ability Zhang Jue had acquired from SCP2006 - Shapeshift.
"Who the hell are you?"
The real Smith held his gun and pointed it at the masked man. When the masked man saw this, he knew he had been trapped. He put down the gun in his hand and didn't seem to intend to resist.
Then he pointed to his mask, "Just take it off and see."

The time was 11:55 PM. Under the blue moonlight, Zhang Jue and Smith finally blocked the mysterious person on top of the bell tower. Zhang Jue's plan for Smith was straightforward. As long as he put himself in danger, then the mysterious person would definitely come to his rescue.
Smith didn't hide. He went to a bar, ordered a drink, and announced his return. The assassins hired by the Wright family did arrive as expected. Smith used his familiarity with the city to lead them around in circles. Then at the right time, he swapped with Zhang Jue, who had taken on his appearance.
Doing so would save Smith's life. It was also a way for Zhang Jue to demonstrate his abilities to Smith. As expected by Zhang Jue, the mysterious man appeared at the last moment.
Smith pointed a gun at his head and said, "Who are you really?"
The mysterious person smiled and pointed the finger at the mask on his head, "Just take it off. You'll see it for yourself."
Smith glanced at Zhang Jue. He shrugged his shoulders. At this moment, Smith's heart was mixed. The person had obviously saved him several times, yet he had let this mysterious person fall into a trap in this way. This is not in line with his principle of being humane, but he was really curious about who is the person behind it and why he was willing to help him without worrying about himself?
Smith stretched out his hand to pull the mysterious person's face mask. His hand actually trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid." The mysterious person said.
Smith took a deep breath. He clenched his left hand slightly and swayed the mask away. The mysterious person's face was finally exposed to the moonlight.
Ba-dump.
The moment he saw that face, Smith's heartbeat steeply accelerated, and he even suspected that he was hallucinating.
Under the blue moonlight. He saw a face that looked extremely similar to his. The only difference was that the man had a scar on the left side of his jaw, and it looked very vicissitudes. It looks like himself after ten years. Smith felt his throat dry and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He never thought it would turn out like this.
"Who are you, anyway?" He asked the question again, but the meaning was already completely different from before.
Zhang Jue had walked up to them, looked at the mysterious person, and then at Smith. He laughed, "Isn't that obvious? He is you."
...
The clock struck 12:00 AM. The three men stood inside the dilapidated clock tower, gazing at each other.
Old Smith glanced at Zhang Jue, "Advisor Zhang, you really did not disappoint me."
"You didn't disappoint me either." Zhang Jue cocked his head, "You saw that this was a trap long ago, didn't you?"
Old Smith smiled, "When he was saved by you, I expected this day to come. But Advisor Zhang, how did you know that I was him?"
"The reason is simple." Zhang Jue smiled back, "Legends don't die easily."
Smith looked at the two people who were speaking in code to each other in front of him, and for a moment, he was shocked about it. He was completely unprepared for such an outcome to happen.
"Can you tell me what happened? Why does he look like me? What exactly do you two mean by what you said?"
"It's a long story. I'll let him tell the specific details." Zhang Jue looked at that old Smith, "Because I also have a lot of questions, I want to know the answers to it too."
...
Two hours later, Smith had probably sorted out what had happened. The other day Zhang Jue had told him the concept of the SCP Foundation and all kinds of anomalous things. Since many demons and monsters were real. Then the appearance of a hole that can travel through time and space is not so incredible. After all, in many science fiction movies. Such a concept has been made before.
The Old Smith traveled from the end of time. But the problem is, looking at the face, he seems to be more than three years older than him.
"Because I was inside SCP-1351 for five years." Old Smith said. "There are many creatures there, and it's not difficult to survive once you adapt to it."
This Smith had lived in that hole for five years, and it was not easy. Zhang Jue thought that the other Birds of Prey squad wasn't as lucky as him. They didn't encounter any beasts and just starved to death alive.
When old Smith finished his experience, Smith sighed for a while. After so many years, he looked at him himself, but he hadn't lost his touch. No wonder he knew every habit he had and convinced Smith to trust him. It turns out that the two of them are one individual.
Looking at Smith's sigh, Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders. To put it mildly, Zhang Jue was not interested in what old Smith had gone through and how he had gotten out of that SCP-1351. Letting old Smith tell his experience was just to give Smith time to digest the situation. He was concerned about only one issue from the beginning to the end.
"Excuse me, two Smiths. Hold on to the adventure story here. What I want to know now is what you said in the video regarding the end of the world. What do you mean by that?"
Speaking of which, Smith also recovered from that weird emotion. He knew that this was not the time to relax. Speaking of this matter, the old Smith sighed. For him, even though five years had passed since that experience, he could never forget it. It can be said that he has been able to survive until now solely by virtue of this little obsession.
"On that year, my squad and I were out on duty. By the time we returned, everything had changed."
"Landslides, tsunamis, disasters were frequently happening. Numerous anomalies broke through the containment, and we lost contact with the Foundation."
"Whether by conventional means or special frequencies, it was impossible to reach the people of the Foundation."
"Moreover, a strange thing has happened."
Zhang Jue frowned and said, "What is it?"
"When my squad and I were searching for the Foundation, we came to a destroyed site."
"I found out that it was breached from the inside."
Hearing this, Zhang Jue raised an eyebrow. The end of the world and the containment failure of all kinds of SCPs were to be expected. But this statement from Old Smith had caused him considerable alarm.
"I'm the leader of an MTF Squad, and I'm very familiar with their modus operandi. I can say that the place must have been attacked from within by a certain squad."
Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes, "Can you tell which squad it was?"
Old Smith shook his head gently, "The technique was very professional, leaving almost no evidence. This is one reason I judged them to be a regular squad, and that doctor in the video is the one we found inside that site."
"So, after you came out, you didn't dare to look for the Foundation, right?"
Old Smith nodded, "I couldn't identify which people could be trusted."
Zhang Jue looked at him, "But you found me."
"Yes." Old Smith said.
Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows, "So I'm more trustworthy than the average Foundation employee?"
"Perhaps." Old Smith looked at Zhang Jue, "I have a hunch that you are different from the others."
Zhang Jue laughed, "Have you ever thought that you made the wrong choice? Or maybe the world turned out that way because of me?"
"What about it?" Old Smith also laughed, "Anyway, I've already experienced it once. It doesn't matter if I experience it again."
"You don't seem to care much about these things." Zhang Jue said.
"Yeah." Old Smith said, ripping open his chest shirt.
Zhang Jue saw that the inside of his chest cavity was empty, with only a heart beating. I wonder what kind of things he had encountered inside that cave that had gotten him into this state.
Smith, who had not spoken in a while, said in surprise, "What happened to you?"
Old Smith shook his head, "Probably the after-effects of living inside SCP-1351. I'm not sure If I can live long enough."
"This is…" Smith completely unable to accept this fact. If possible, he is even willing to trade life for life.
"Don't worry." Zhang Jue patted Smith's shoulder.
"Since he found me and brought me such important information. Wouldn't my reputation as Zhang Jue be tarnished if I just let him die? I won't let that happen."
One week later. Pennsylvania's election.
For some reason. Jens Wright, The Wright family's contender, withdrew from the election. The reason claimed by the public was a serious illness. But most people had seen her campaign at the office the day before. But they don't know why she suddenly gave up at the end.
Only a few people know that Jens Wright withdrew from the election because the day before, a mysterious person had infiltrated her home. After talking to the mysterious person for a few hours, the Wright family disclosed that they had given up their campaign to the media.
People speculated that they had been threatened. But with the status of the Wright family, that kind of thing was almost impossible to happen. Who and what they were threatened by is not known.
Regarding this situation, only a few from the Foundation knew about it. Du Jingtian, Stevenson, Smith, and a few people in the Foundation were the only ones who knew about it because the mysterious person who supposedly infiltrated the Wright family was none other than Zhang Jue.
...
Zhang Jue's destination for this trip was the small town of Chlamydia. After finding Smith by mistake, he was going to head towards the northern part of the country. Lei Shan expressed his gratitude to him over the phone while Du Jingtian and Stevenson came specifically to give him a ride.
Before the meeting, in the presence of Stevenson and Du Jingtian, Zhang Jue formally invited Smith to join the Foundation. It was sort of a make-up process.
C-Level personnel with a Level 3 Security Clearance. The rank was not considered high because he had just joined and was not yet the leader of an MTF Squad. But only one thing to say is that his position is very special, a Special Assistant to Zhang Jue, the Special Advisor.
Smith was also an uncertainty in the eyes of the Foundation. A series of butterfly effects had changed the original process, and it was no longer possible for him to join the Foundation in a normal way. After a little discussion, the O5 Council simply did not do anything about it and sent him to Zhang Jue's side. To put it nicely, they were basically O5's Special Assistants.
Zhang Jue knew in his heart that it was only convenient to put the two of them together for surveillance. It was just that because of something. The two sides never made contact directly regarding the matter. But to be honest, keeping Smith around was actually just what he wanted.
After all, someone once said, which protagonist does not have a sidekick? Not to mention Smith's ability is good. He can handle a few people on his own.
The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. During the meeting, several people talked about Smith's experience of being chased and killed, and they were all very saddened. Neither Zhang Jue nor Smith himself had revealed to the Foundation about that old Smith.
He was now hiding in a place Zhang Jue had found for him, and there was no telling what method Zhang Jue would use to keep him alive. Therefore, their focus could only be on something that could be said.
"So, Advisor Zhang. What methods did you use to get the Wright family to give up their pursuit of me and willingly withdraw from the governor election?" Smith asked.
Even Du Jingtian said, "Yes, Advisor Zhang, when this matter was mentioned. I also want to know what you actually did. You know, the Wright family says no one in Philadelphia, and only the Glenn family can compete with them. They were like the two sides of a coin. Even the Foundation is subject to them when we do things here."
"About that, there's really special about it." Zhang Jue picked up his knife and fork to cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. "I just told her that if she doesn't give up on this election. Tomorrow all the ad screens in Philadelphia will start showing videos of forty people from the Wright family jerking off."
"Pfft--" Hearing about it, Smith, who had just drank a coffee, spewed out all over the table.
The others were also shocked. But after that, they all can't help but secretly nod their heads. This is really the style of consultant Zhang.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jue looked at the crowd, not really knowing why they were reacting in this way.
He didn't think he was doing anything wrong. At most, the wording was a bit strange.
Du Jingtian shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Advisor Zhang, you threatened the White family to get them to withdraw from the election. The Foundation is in favor of it, but the method is... well... hard to say about it."
Zhang Jue was full of disdain, "That's your problem. As long it benefits the Foundation, I care less about people's opinion."
"Advisor Zhang is really big-hearted." Du Jingtian nodded, "But Advisor Zhang, you should be careful. There are indeed some people in the Foundation who have that thought. They understand others using unconventional tricks. Two days ago, one of the researchers in the Chinese region got into a fight because his roommate cursed a dirty word."
Stevenson was curious, "What happened after that?"
Du Jingtian shook his head, "The Foundation doesn't know what happened and later heard that the two of them cut off their friendship."
Why bother.
Hearing this result. Stevenson and Smith shook their heads one after another. Only Zhang Jue's eyes glowed.
"Friendship? What kind of food is that?"
