Chapter 601

[Danger Level: Keter]

[Note 1: The item level was originally Apollyon, but the O5 Council believed that this classification would provoke defeatist tendencies, so they reclassified the existing Apollyon as Keter.]

[Note 2: Apollyon-level containment objects cannot be contained at all and will extremely "actively" trigger XK-class end-of-the-world scenarios.]

The complete containment file hadn't been released much, but a big one was exposed, making the players once again slightly shocked by the Foundation's disaster-ridden nature.

["Now supreme divinities are really not as good as dogs, and divinity is everywhere."]

["The Administrator just killed a supreme divinity, and now the Foundation intends to kill another one for everyone to enjoy."]

["Good guy, from now on, you won't even deserve to have your own name in the containment file if you're not a supreme divinity."]

["The laws of this universe are probably like this: supreme divinities destroy the world on the first, third, and fifth days, the Foundation saves the world on the second, fourth, and sixth days, and on the seventh day, everyone shakes hands and makes peace, discussing which divinity to bully."]

["Divinity: Your mother."]

[Special Containment Procedures:]

["SCP-3125" applies the reverse containment protocol. Except for locations where its influence is specifically cleared, it is already ubiquitous in reality.]

[Cognitive Hazard Containment Unit 3125 at Site-41, which is the location of this document, is the only known location in the world that successfully isolates its influence in this way.]

[Under no circumstances must the following information be strictly confined within the containment unit:]

[Handwritten, electronic information, photos, audio and video records, sound, electromagnetic and particle signals, or parapsychological projections]

[When personnel leave, the airtight purification system configured in the containment unit will automatically start, injecting memory-erasing gas for three minutes to completely clear the memory traces of relevant personnel in it.]

[An alternative containment object entry must be maintained on the main Foundation database, giving only technical descriptions of the containment unit, stipulating that senior Anti-Memetics Division personnel should enter its interior regularly, and no description is allowed.]

Overall, the special containment procedures column did not update much content.

But the first sentence was enough to make people feel cold.

["Ubiquitous in reality?"] Herta wore a puzzled expression, unable to understand it at all.

Was "SCP-3125" some kind of gas molecule that could be everywhere?

But... even if it were a gas molecule, it would be broken into atoms in a high-temperature environment, or even have its electrons stripped away, becoming plasma.

In this way, the only things that could meet the requirement of being ubiquitous in reality, besides space and time, would probably be electromagnetic waves or energy that met this description.

Thinking of this, Herta was even more confused.

Whether it was space, time, or electromagnetic waves, they had nothing to do with the Foundation's "anomaly" concept.

No matter which technical evolution the Foundation followed, it shouldn't classify these things as "SCP-3125," right?

But if it wasn't these, what else could meet the concept of "ubiquitous"?

Void? Primordial void? Or an existence even more primordial than the primordial void?

In the picture, the Anti-Memetics Division doctor moved the mouse, moved the containment file down, and browsed the content in it.

[Item Description:]

["SCP-3125" is an extremely huge (see complete Θ-dimensional fractal topology attachment 13), highly aggressive anomalous diffused memetic complex, originating from outside our reality and currently intersecting with it. . ]

["SCP-3125" has adapted to survive in a concept ecosystem far more violent and hostile than our own.]

["Our own" here refers to the human mind space; the sum of all thoughts that humans have or biologically might have.]

[Because humans have never been naturally exposed to concepts as aggressive as "SCP-3125," the human mind has no protective evolutionary adaptation to it.]

[Personnel occupied by "SCP-3125" will be unable to accept more fragile "traditional" concepts and will become physically acting entirely to serve and spread "SCP-3125."]

[In addition, although there are no obvious visible changes in appearance, they will no longer be cognized as humans from the outside.]

["SCP-3125" has not yet fully entered our reality. Once it fully arrives, the high interconnection of the human knowledge interaction system will cause it to surround, occupy, and replace all human thinking within no more than 12 hours, or even as little as 4 hours.]

["Concept?"]

Herta was stunned. She had never thought that a certain concept could become a containment object, and it could have such amazing destructive power.

["Wait..."]

She suddenly remembered the key content entered by the Anti-Memetics Division doctor, which was "Five-Five-Five-Five-Five."

Coincidentally, among all the supreme divinities that had appeared, there was exactly one that could match these five numbers.

["The Fifth Starfish?"] She guessed.

This supreme divinity didn't appear infrequently. Not only had it appeared when it was regarded as prey by the "Missing Thing," but it had also made a big news on Jarilo-VI not long ago.

The problem followed:

If the "Fifth Starfish" was contained, how could it appear in the containment file?

[At this time, "human" as an abstract concept, as well as all related abstracts such as "civilization," "culture," "society," "community," and "family" will cease to exist.]

[The Foundation named this possible event an MK-class end-of-the-world scenario.]

[The Foundation holds a variety of proven technologies that can capture such aggressive concept complexes, but they are all ineffective under the automatic defense response/boundary layer of "SCP-3125."]

[Completely piecing together the psychological image of "SCP-3125" and perceiving its true shape will allow "SCP-3125" to also perceive the observer. After that, it will attack the observer and kill them.]

[--This attack mechanism is still unknown, but it seems to have at least partial physicality.]

["Mind bystanders" who are similar to these observers in thinking and 3.0 concepts will also be attacked together. This always includes the observer's entire research team and often affects their close relatives (parents and children).]

[This attack has a network effect, which will erase all knowledge about "SCP-3125" and its attack from the world.]

[This informational "paralysis" effect is functionally similar to the anesthetic saliva secreted when a mosquito bites, so that "SCP-3125" will not be detected before it fully manifests.]

[Foundation personnel who discover "SCP-3125" can escape the attack by quickly using memory-erasing treatment to erase relevant knowledge.]

[In any case, the final result is that only a well-defended containment unit is the only place where "SCP-3125" can be safely observed, recorded, or even known to exist.]

[Outside such a containment unit, a true written description of "SCP-3125" is equivalent to a fatal cognitive hazard.]

[The late Dr. Bartholomew Hughes proposed an instrument fiction amplifier (see "Chart: Attachment 129"), which can effectively neutralize "SCP-3125."]

[However, except for the extremely huge material resources required, the instrument cannot be manufactured without its creator knowing why it was built.]

[--This understanding would require knowing "SCP-3125," and this point has been proven fatal to the plan.]

[There is no known method to neutralize "SCP-3125" using only the resources in the room.]

It was censored by the card review. The previous chapter will have to wait a while before it can be released. I didn't expect "palu" to become a forbidden word...
