I’m In Charge of SCP

Gray gasped.

After injecting a super-large dose of z-level memory enhancer, his life has entered the countdown.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Discover that the whole world has changed.

Various antimemetics filled the air.

Many things appeared in front of him that he hadn't seen before.

And everything he experienced also clearly appeared in his mind.

Zhang Jue and Yang Xue looked at him.

"Director Gray, are you okay?" Yang Xue asked.

Gray hummed.

"I'm fine now, Consultant Zhang, Dr. Yang, I've remembered everything. If you want to know anything, just ask."

you still need to ask? Zhang Jue snorted.

"Brother, since you have recovered your memory, can you tell me what is the project that endangers this site?"

"It's scp3125, it launched an attack on humans again." Gray said.

Is that really the case?

After hearing Gray's words, Zhang Jue's heart skipped a beat.

Originally, he was still skeptical about that video, but now it seems that it is true.

3125, the project that wiped out antimemetics, is back.

Zhang Jue took a step indiscriminately, standing between Yang Xue and Gray.

"If it's really 3125, then when you recover your memory, you, including us, should all be infected by it."

Yang Xue didn't know which project 3125 was, and she didn't even know that the foundation had this number, but she could see Zhang Jue's actions.

It must be very difficult to make Zhang Jue, who has always been careless, show such an expression.

Gray sighed: "According to Mr. Yang Wensong, 3125 did not really die after the neutralization of the two doctors Adam Wheeler and Hughes, but fell into a period of weakness. For so many years, it has always wanted to restore the threat to humans, and now , it has almost succeeded. This time 3125 is different from the previous attack method. It no longer blindly erases those who know it. Once infected by it, it will tamper with the memory of the infected person and change Their belief, and all those infected will become followers of it."

Heh, this thing seems to have really evolved.

After hearing Gray's words, Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes.

According to the information he has read, 3125 is a violent idea without substance.

That's why the Minister of Antimemetics was the last one to say something like "Ideas can be killed, use better ideas".

However, after that battle, 3125 seemed to be wiser.

It's not so "violent" anymore, it's become "mild" and even a "belief" for those infected.

To some extent, if it is allowed to continue to develop and expand, it is likely to develop into a cult.

When it has enough believers, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky to defeat it.

Zhang Jue thought of another key question: "Then how does it spread?"

"Agreement." Gray said, "Now it requires you to agree with a part of its ideas, and then it will reside in the host's body and change the memory of the other party until the other party fully agrees with it."

Although the process is longer, this level of contagion is less noticeable than in previous forms of violence.

Chances are, they are now infected and don't know it yet.

Zhang Jue continued to ask, "Where did Yang Wensong go, and why is his coffin empty?"

"I don't know." Gray shook his head. "He left two keys with me, and then disappeared. I don't know where he went."

The key turned out to be left by Yang Wensong to Gray.

Hearing the news, Zhang Jue couldn't help frowning.

Yang Wensong is a thoughtful person, and no matter what he does, he gives priority to the second person. This is his habit of doing things.

Yang Wenbai and Yang Xue are the best examples.

He left the key to Gray, knowing obviously that in many years time someone would come here and need these mnestics.

"Oh, he also said something to me." Gray said, "He asked me to tell Dr. Yang Xue that if you want to defeat 'it', you must forget it, and remember it."

If you want to overcome 'it', you must forget it, and you must remember it.

Yang Xue was slightly taken aback.

I know this is an important clue left by my father.

This one should be 3125.

Decades ago, the last Minister of Antimemetics defeated it with better ideas, and this time it came back, visibly stronger.

The antimemetics department standing on the shoulders of the predecessors was wiped out again.

This message left by Yang Wensong is undoubtedly very important.

It can be said that this is the conclusion drawn by hundreds of staff members of the Antimemetics Department with their lives.

"Next question." Zhang Jue looked at Gray, "Do you know what is behind the No. 3 door outside?"

The fake Yang Wensong has been trying to lure him in. There should be something very dangerous inside, but Zhang Jue has been worrying about it without knowing what it is.

Gray shook his head again.

"The entire underground containment layer was designed by Researcher Yang Wensong himself. The drawings are top secret, and that room is also specially made. Only Director Hurley knows the function of each room in the entire site."

Zhang Jue pinched his chin.

Start to think seriously.

Again.

Yang Wensong is a very rigorous person. This kind of person has always been thoughtful in doing things and never leaks.

He gave Gray no other information, which proved unnecessary.

Perhaps in his opinion, after Gray recovered his memory, the information they had was enough.

If this still can't defeat 3125, then it's useless to say anything.

Gray began to cough violently.

The side effects of Class Z mnestics are starting to show.

Yang Xue rummaged through her backpack, wanting to see what medicine could relieve symptoms.

But Gray waved his hand.

"Dr. Yang, don't waste your efforts, I can feel that my time is running out."

Yang Xue looked at Gray, his face was pale, his forehead was full of sweat, it seemed that he was indeed close to the limit.

Yang Xue is not hypocritical, and she also knows that the most important thing at this time is to compete with the god of death for time.

Zhang Jue completely ignored Gray's state, and continued to ask: "The building on the left, what happened after I opened that door, and where did you go when you disappeared?"

Gray thought for a while, and said, "After you opened that door, we found a particularly large disc. You said it was a cipher disc. We were about to decipher it, and the researchers left in the main building suddenly issued a message. After receiving a distress signal, we went all the way down and saw a figure running into the building on the right."

"Then we split into two groups. You and Dr. Yang went to chase that figure, and I led the team to check the situation in the main building. I found that Luo Lisi and the others had disappeared. We searched for a long time in the main building, but we couldn't find them. They, you didn't come back either, I wanted to lead a team to find you and Dr. Yang, and then everyone felt dizzy, as if they had inhaled some kind of gas—waking up again, just now, as for you and Dr. Yang What happened, I don't know."

Gray spoke quickly, not wanting to waste any second.

Zhang Jue turned his ear and listened carefully to every word he said.

Mystery man?

He pinched his chin and looked at Yang Xue.

"I remember you told me that the person who rescued you from that safety cabin was also a mysterious man in black."

"Yes." Yang Xue nodded, "I didn't see his appearance clearly."

"Could it be your father?" Zhang Jue said.

Yang Xue pondered for a moment, then said, "I... can't be sure."

Yang Xue and Yang Wensong have been separated for more than ten years, so it's normal not to recognize each other.

Yang Wensong's coffin was empty, so Zhang Jue took him as the number one suspect as a matter of course.

But there is one thing that is very strange.

If that person is really Yang Wensong, why is he always sneaky, come out and let everyone recognize him?

It seems that things are not so simple.

"Cough cough cough—"

Speaking of this, Gray suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

His face became paler and he couldn't stand upright, so he simply sat down on the ground.

His consciousness has begun to blur, and reality and memory are intertwined.

But neither Zhang Jue nor Yang Xue made any moves.

His death is a foregone conclusion, any concern is superfluous.

If he wants to die peacefully and deservedly, the only way is to take 3125 into custody again.

"One last question." Seeing that Gray had reached the limit, Zhang Jue said, "Why, Yang Wensong chose you, Director Gray, is there anything special about you?"

"I...I don't know." Gray answered Zhang Jue's question with difficulty, but at this moment, he could hardly think.

"You know." Zhang Jue bent down, grabbed Gray's shoulder, looked down at him from a high position, and looked into his eyes.

"Director Gray, you must have something different from the others, which is why Yang Wensong chose you as his back-up. Why did you survive for so long without being infected by 3125? Tell me!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhang Jue almost yelled out, because Gray's spirit was already in a trance. `

Gray looked up at the ceiling.

But in his eyes, there is a blue sky.

"Why, choose me..."

In a trance, Gray went back to the past again.

It was a night of the week before they were going to see 3125's true face.

Yang Wensong called him to the roof of the building.

Looking at the sand dunes in the distance and the stars in the sky, the two had a conversation.

"Who are you……"

"I'm here to help. You should have met me. As for my identity, it doesn't matter—Gray, do you know the 'Fei Mu' sect?"

"have no idea."

"It's an ancient sect. I read it in an ancient book. They believe in killing. This sect has been taught some killing skills since children were sensible, until they grow up. In the age of the weak and the strong , They developed very rapidly, and in a short period of time, they occupied a large piece of land in Europe, do you know how they died out in the end?"

Gray thought hard, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

"I have no idea."

"It's actually very simple. If you want to defeat them, you just have to join them. Other sects have learned their methods and cultivated their combat power since childhood. At that time, their advantages will no longer exist—oh, I suddenly A word came to mind, on our side, it’s called introversion.”

Gray asked: "But if this is the case, aren't all sects the same as them? What's the point of defeating him?"

"Of course it makes sense." Yang Wensong said, "Because people are different in the final analysis-a boy will always be a boy, even if he has a strong force, he will not become a dragon. A dragon is a dragon, even if Even when he was weak, he was also a dragon."

Gray thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

He looked at Yang Wensong.

This oriental man is young, but his deep eyes are full of wisdom.

For a moment, Gray didn't know how to reply.

"Grey, I can see that you are a gentle person. At least you are more suitable for that matter than I am. I hope my choice is right. Then, goodbye. Good luck to us and you too."

...

Gray recounted the conversation sentence by sentence.

After finishing the last sentence, his expression was already in a trance.

It seems to have been completely divorced from reality.

Immersed in his memory.

There was Director Hurley, his colleagues, his adopted daughter, everything.

"Director Gray?"

Yang Xue tried to shout.

At this time, Gray's seven orifices were bleeding.

It was no longer possible to respond to their inquiries.

His figure swayed, and he slowly fell backwards.

Zhang Jue supported him.

"Consultant Zhang, Dr. Yang Xue." Gray opened his eyes in confusion, and with the last bit of strength, he said, "I seem to see it, it is... around us."

These were the last words of Director Gray before his death.

After speaking, he completely closed his eyes.

The original assistant to the supervisor, the nominal last leader of site 237, just died like this.

Yang Xue closed her eyes.

Zhang Jue sighed.

The two brought him back to the ground, dug a hole in the sand dunes directly in front of site 237, and buried him.

Gray's ability is not top-notch, but he has made outstanding contributions to the Foundation, to the Antimemetics Department, and to all mankind.

Before Zhang Jue and Yang Xue arrived, under the influence of many antimemetic projects, he had almost lost all his memory. The only reason he stayed here was his sense of responsibility.

The Foundation has never been short of such people, especially in the Antimemetics Division.

After he injected the z-class memory enhancer, the information he brought was very important.

Zhang Jue has almost put together all the puzzle pieces.

3125 is making a comeback, and in such a stealthy way, it's chilling.

It implants ideas into people's brains, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to find them at all.

This should be the truth about Hurley's suicide.

They waged a final battle against 3125, but failed.

If they don't commit suicide and allow 3125 to successfully invade human society from this isolated site, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, Director Hurley and more than 400 researchers resolutely chose to die heroically.

How similar.

They all chose to sacrifice themselves, just to slow down the pace of 3125 and buy time for the latecomers.

And Gray also completed his task, using his life to hand over these precious information to the latecomers.

Zhang Jue randomly inserted a wooden board in front of Gray's grave.

"Dude, your mission is over."

He looked back at the three buildings standing in the desert.

"Next, let's take a look at my methods, buddy."
