Chapter 985

【Danger Level: Keter】

【Note 1: The item level was originally Apollyon, but the O5 Council believed that this classification would incite 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 an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario.】

……

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

"Now supreme divinities are really like dogs, and divinity is everywhere."

"The Administrator just killed a supreme divinity, and now the Foundation plans to kill another one to entertain everyone."

"Good guy, from now on, those who are not supreme divinities don't deserve to have their names in the containment files."

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

"Divinity: Your mother."

……

【Special Containment Procedures:】

【"SCP-3125" applies the reverse containment protocol. Except for locations that specifically clear its influence, 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 place in the world that has successfully isolated 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 locking purification system configured in the containment unit will start automatically, injecting memory-erasing gas for three minutes to thoroughly clear the memory traces of relevant personnel in it.】

【An alternative containment object entry must be maintained in the main Foundation database, giving only technical descriptions of the containment unit, stipulating that senior Antimemetics 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 figure it out.

Is "SCP-3125" some kind of gas molecule that can be everywhere?

But…… even if it is a gas molecule, it will be broken into atoms in a high-temperature environment, and even electrons will be removed, becoming plasma.

In this way, the only things in reality that can meet the requirement of being ubiquitous, besides space and time, are probably only electromagnetic waves, or energy fits this description.

Thinking of this, Herta was even more confused.

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

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

But if it's not these, what else can fit the concept of "ubiquitous"?

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

……

In the picture, the Antimemetics Division doctor moved the mouse, moved the containment file downward, and browsed the content.

【Item Description:】

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

【"SCP-3125" has adapted to survive in a much more violent and hostile ideological ecology than our own.】

【"Our own" here refers to the human brain space; the sum of all ideas that humans have or biologically might have.】

【Because humans have never been naturally exposed to ideas 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" ideas 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 perceived as human 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.】

……

"Ideas?"

Herta was stunned. She had never thought before that some kind of idea could become a containment object, and it could also have such amazing destructive power.

"Wait……"

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

Coincidentally, among all the supreme divinities that have appeared, there is exactly one who can match these five numbers.

"The 'Fifth Starfish'?" She guessed.

The frequency of this supreme divinity's appearance is not low. Not only did it appear when it was regarded as prey by the "Missing Thing," but it 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 abstractions such as "civilization," "culture," "society," "community," and "family" will no longer exist.】

【The Foundation names this possible event an MK-class end-of-the-world scenario.】

【The Foundation holds multiple proven technologies that can capture such aggressive idea 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. Afterward, it will attack the observer and kill them.】

【——This attack mechanism is still unknown, but it seems to have at least partial physicality.】

【"Mental bystanders" who are similar to these observers in thinking and 3.0 ideas 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, erasing all knowledge about "SCP-3125" and its attacks from the world.】

【This informational "numbing" effect is functionally similar to the anesthetic saliva secreted when a mosquito bites, allowing "SCP-3125" to 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 the existence of "SCP-3125" can be safely observed, recorded, and even known.】

【Outside of such a containment unit, a written description of "SCP-3125" with true content will be 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, the previous chapter has to wait a while before it can be released. I didn't expect "palu" could become a forbidden word…….
