I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 184 The Department That Doesn't Exist (2 in 1)

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

After he finished speaking, Yang Xue also looked outside and found that it was so.

The main building unexpectedly appeared on their left at this time.

They were supposed to be on the tenth floor of the building on the left, but now they appear on the 28th floor of the building on the right.

It was already late at night.

It was as if she drank too much, and all her memories of that time disappeared.

"this……"

Yang Xue clutched her forehead, trying hard to remember.

"What... happened in the back?"

Zhang Jue couldn't answer this question, because he also couldn't remember.

The last memory of both of them was the moment when he opened the door.

After opening the door, there is no way to know what they saw, whether they went in, and what they experienced during this period.

And most importantly, Gray and his security team are completely gone.

"We should have encountered some kind of project that will cause people to lose their memory." Yang Xue said.

Zhang Jue pinched his chin, noncommittal, and said after a while: "Let's go back to the main building first."

The situation is unknown, and the two of them did not stay here much.

Zhang Jue flashed on the flashlight, and the two of them went down all the way, and soon they went down to the first floor.

But as soon as they walked out of the building on the right, they felt something was wrong.

It should be around one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, but the main building is completely dark.

There are no more sentries standing guard in the watchtower.

The steps in front of the main building have been covered with a thick layer of fine sand, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for at least a few days.

There are no footprints on it either.

This means that, for at least a few days, no one moved from here.

It seems that their coma time is not only so little in feeling.

The two looked at each other and slowly opened the door of the building.

The inside of the building was in a mess, and there were many traces of fighting inside.

But no blood, and no corpse.

The researchers and the few remaining security guards who were left here by Gray were neither alive nor dead.

Yang Xue followed Zhang Jue, frowning all the time.

What's going on here? Are those people gone or dead?

Completely unknown.

Zhang Jue walked ahead, thinking all the way, Yang Xue wanted to communicate with him, but she refrained from disturbing him.

"Actually, we were in a bit of a hurry."

Zhang Jue said suddenly.

Sure enough, he also thought of this.

Yang Xue nodded: "We should find out the situation of the main building first, and then explore the other two buildings."

"It's okay, it's not too late now." Zhang Jue smiled and regained his usual look, "It's just a little troublesome, hey, the most annoying thing is this kind of nagging."

The two spent a long time together, and Zhang Jue didn't deliberately hide his expression, so Yang Xue knew at a glance that he already had an idea.

Yang Xue looked at him: "Did you know something?"

"Ah, I can probably guess what is contained here, but I still need some evidence."

...

The two ate something, and then began to search inside the main building.

The hydraulic and electric control rooms of the entire site are located here, including the workshop for artificial protein synthesis.

But again, there has been no one here for a few days.

The roots of some water-grown vegetables have begun to rot.

It is almost certain that there are probably no living people in the entire site.

Unless they can store and withdraw food from a different space anytime, anywhere like Zhang Jue.

The two came to the top floor, where there was only one room - the supervisor's office.

The door is locked, but this is not a problem for Zhang Jue.

He kicked the solid wooden door in half, then reached in and opened the hidden lock.

The two entered the room and turned on the light.

There were obvious signs of tampering in the room.

Zhang Jue came to the desk and found that the computer had been smashed, the hard drive had been burned, and there were a pile of burnt marks on the ground.

Looks like someone got there first.

All data will be destroyed.

There is a black notebook on the table, the skin is very delicate, but it seems to have been there for many years, because the paper inside has been slightly yellowed.

Some part of the notebook was violently torn off, leaving only a pile of broken pages.

Zhang Jue flipped through it casually, and found that as long as there was content, it had been torn out, and the rest were blank pages.

He snorted and threw the notebook back on the table angrily.

He has never had the patience to do these things.

Yang Xue shook her head helplessly, took the notebook into her hands, and carefully read it page by page.

After turning a few pages, she said "Huh?"

Zhang Jue looked at her, but Yang Xue didn't speak, picked up a pencil from the pen holder on the table, and quickly drew on a blank page.

The posture of her pen is very strange, like drawing a sketch, and quickly fills up the entire page.

Zhang Jue saw that a word slowly appeared in the lower right corner of the page.

Zhang Jue also used this technique when he was a child. As long as the handwriting on the previous page is strong enough, the next page can be copied with a pencil.

But she was not as careful as Yang Xue, so she couldn't find that slight trace.

Looking at her results, Zhang Jue was overjoyed.

"Dr. Yang Da, yes, you have discovered all of this."

Yang Xue sighed: "I let you do all the more difficult and dangerous jobs, so I can only do these insignificant things."

Yang Xue kept moving her hands and was very serious. After a minute, she finished the last stroke.

He exhaled lightly.

Under her careful description, the word has clearly surfaced on the paper.

is an English word——.

Yang Xue looked at it, frowning deeply.

She has a double Ph.D. in biology and organic chemistry. She has read countless domestic and foreign papers. Her vocabulary is even larger than most foreigners, and she knows all kinds of uncommon words.

But this word, she had never seen before.

After seeing that it was in English, Zhang Jue turned his attention to other places.

With his half-baked level, he is not even as good as a junior high school student.

He originally thought that Yang Xue was definitely fine, but judging by her expression, it seemed that was not the case.

"Come, come, show me."

Zhang Jue stretched out his hand.

Yang Xue looked up at him. Although she didn't speak, there were two words written on her face: "Just you?"

"Don't look down on people."

Zhang Jue snorted, "I remember when I was in elementary school, my English test was over 80 points."

Primary school English 80 points? I'm sorry you have the nerve to say so.

Yang Xue smiled and shook her head, but still handed him the notebook.

Taking the notebook from Yang Xue, Zhang Jue looked at the word carefully.

Sure enough - I don't know.

But very familiar.

He searched in his memory palace, and soon found the answer.

"Nice!" He snapped his fingers, and things were exactly as he thought.

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

Zhang Jue laughed: "Student Yang Xue, this word is very simple. It seems that you must not have listened to the class well in elementary school. Now Teacher Zhang will teach you—a-n-t-i-m-e-m-e-t-i-c, it means—antimeme .”

"Antimeme?" Yang Xue subconsciously repeated.

"Yes, antimemetics." Zhang Jue nodded, "If my predictions are correct, this should be the Foundation's Antimemetics Department."

Yang Xue looked at him: "I know about memes, I also know about the Memetics Department, but I've never heard of it. The foundation has a department called the Antimemetics Department."

This is probably a standard line for most Foundation employees.

Zhang Jue sighed: "Indeed, in the eyes of most people, the Antimemetics Department never existed, but they did exist and saved mankind."

...

To understand what an antimeme is, let's first review the concept of a meme.

I don't know how many chapters have been introduced before.

A meme is a contagious concept or message.

It is contagious through the exchange of information between people, and it will spread at an extremely fast speed.

Such as "experience +3", such as "what is a happy planet", such as "7777777...".

If the information also causes unpredictable harm during the transmission process, then it is considered a memetic hazard.

Among the Foundation's holdings, there are many meme-type objects.

For example, the SCP-701 (Elegy of the Hanged King) that Zhang Jue encountered before.

What determines whether an item is a meme is whether it can be contagious and spread widely.

In contrast, "anti-memes" are to prevent the spread of concepts.

Antimemes in life are real.

For example, your bank card password, the place where you hide your private money, or a series of complicated formulas and obscure words, in a certain concept, these are all antimemes.

Antimemetic anomalies are SCPs that prevent themselves from being discovered or spread, as opposed to memes.

The most famous antimemetic item is SCP-055 (Unknown)

SCP-055 is classified as Keter.

It can be observed freely, but no matter how observed or recorded, the information of SCP-055 will not be remembered.

Soon people lose interest in the project and gradually forget about it.

Then one day, the records of this project were inadvertently discovered by others, causing panic.

Then the Foundation sent people to observe, record, and forget.

So back and forth.

There are a lot of documents about the SCP-055 Foundation, but there is no way to study it, because I can't remember it.

So far, the Foundation's description of it can be summed up in four words: not round.

Actually, SCP-055 is not a perfect antimeme.

Because people still remember what it wasn't, and from time to time someone would notice SCP-055's existence, leading to it being researched and discovered.

The really powerful antimeme is when it's right in front of your eyes, but you keep ignoring it.

Compared with other SCP projects with terrorist and destructive powers—such as 682—although antimemetic SCPs have no obvious lethality, among all types of SCP projects, its degree of danger is at the top.

Because it is very likely that one day, a person, a group of people, or even hundreds of millions or billions of people will disappear and die for no reason, and the whole world will not even know that they existed.

Human fear stems from the unknown.

How can you defeat an enemy when you doubt its existence?

And antimemes are such enemies.

It plays with your mind and makes you doubt yourself and its existence.

What doesn't exist is truly invincible, because it has no enemies at all.

There is no trick to win.

In order to fight against such enemies, the Foundation established a special "Antimemetics Department", but because of the characteristics of the antimemetics itself, this department is not well known.

In the documents that Zhang Jue saw, they had already died together with an antimemetic SCP.

Unsung heroes can still be called heroes because someone remembers them.

But those people in the Antimemetics Department didn't even receive such treatment.

They can only disappear into the long river of history silently, and even their blood relatives and flesh and blood have forgotten them.

After Zhang Jue and Yang Xue finished telling these stories, Yang Xue showed an incredible expression.

She never knew that there would be such a group of people in the foundation making sacrifices for the survival of mankind.

The Foundation itself is an organization that walks in darkness, and the Antimemetics Department is a darkness within darkness.

From birth to death, no one remembers their existence.

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue: "Then my father—"

Zhang Jue nodded: "It is very likely that he joined the Antimemetics Department and became a member of them."

After confirming that this is the Antimemetics Department, some problems were solved.

First of all, Yang Xue's father, who should not have been imagined by Yang Xue and Yang Wenbai, but actually existed, and later joined the Antimemetics Department.

Although Zhang Jue has already guessed this point, but now it can be said that he has added some supporting evidence.

Then there are less drugs in that pharmacy, which can basically be confirmed.

Both are drugs that help restore memory.

There are several amnestic technologies such as the foundation ABCDE, and there are also several memory restoration drugs such as wyz.

The staff of the Antimemetics Department have very high memory requirements due to their long-term dealings with the Antimemetics Project.

While training their memory ability, they usually take some mnemonic drugs. Only in this way, they will remember those damn SCP items and contain them.

But a lot of times, some SCPs make them forget to take their medication, thereby forgetting everything they've been through before.

Although the foundation has established this department, the support for them is very limited, because most of the time, they are forgotten.

Even if someone like Yang Wensong is sent over, they will lose their news because of the difficulty of containment.

It is conceivable that in this desert, it is unknown how many people's bones were buried.

Zhang Jue thought of this, so he didn't contact the foundation immediately, because there was no other use than sending more cannon fodder.

In this place, the only ones who can save them are themselves.

"But one thing is very strange." Yang Xue said, "Why do we still remember so many things?"

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

"So what should we do now?"

"Fortunately, you are still a Doctor of the Foundation, do you even need to ask?"

Zhang Jue waved his hand, "Of course I want to find those antimemetic items contained here, no matter whether they are round or flat, I will kill them all!"
