Chapter 204: Extermination Part 5

Zhang Jue wrapped his arms around his body, and his eyes flashed, looking very pitiful, like a little girl who had been bullied. Seeing him like this, Yang Wensong held his forehead with his hand, somewhat helpless.

"Advisor Zhang, I think you've misunderstood." He said, "I just want you to do me a favor and enter into Yang Xue's consciousness."

"Ah, that's how it is. I told you earlier that I thought you asked me to offer myself. That would be-"

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. I said I don't have to sacrifice myself, which is great. Dr. Yang, we are discussing how to eliminate SCP-3125 and completely lift its threat to humanity. Is it useful for me to enter Yang Xue's consciousness?"

"It's useful." Yang Wensong nodded, "SCP-3125 is different from ordinary enemies. It is a complex of concepts, a metaphysical idea. Trying to defeat it with ordinary methods will not work. I discovered one of its weaknesses during the fight with SCP-3125. It actually nibbles a little bit when it affects the human mind. As long as the affected person has a strong will, we can defeat it at his own level."

What Yang Wensong said seemed simple enough, and Zhang Jue looked at him, "And then?"

"Do you know how my consciousness came out of my body?"

"I don't know. Does it matter?"

"It does. My consciousness was partially solidified by borrowing an idea materialization machine called a concept precipitator. In the same way, after SCP-3125 is defeated by Yang Xue, it will be expelled from Yang Xue's body, and we just need to seize the opportunity to materialize it and destroy it by conventional means."

"A concept precipitator?"

Zhang Jue cupped his chin. It turned out that the Antimemetics Division had actually researched such a thing, and it was quite impressive. This machine could materialize some concepts, which was a godsend against something as invisible and untouchable as SCP-3125. But there was still a significant problem.

Zhang Jue frowned, "Since you have researched this kind of thing, why did it ultimately fail?"

After Yang Wenzong entered the password, the wall was pushed open to both sides, revealing a secret passage. Still the same recipe, a familiar building technique. Like Site-14, Site-237 also had a secret passage.

Yang Wensong is cautious by nature and knows the truth of cunningly designing it. So any blueprint that he is involved in will probably have a secret door or something. The secret passage slopes all the way down, and there is an elevator at the end. The moment he saw the elevator, Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered very clearly that the distance between the underground building and the ground was two or three hundred meters. At this time, he was holding Yang Xue. Although he could take advantage of it, it was not very convenient.

Under Yang Wensong's lead, they soon arrived again inside that underground research room. When the two arrived outside room 3, Zhang Jue couldn't help but sigh. That fake Yang Wensong had tried every possible way to trick him into walking through this door before, and he hadn't fallen for it. But now, he was back here again.

Sometimes, fate is such bullshit. The difference is that this time, he already knows how to defeat SCP-3125. Yang Wensong entered the password, and the gate, which had been dusty for an unknown number of years, was opened.

The moment the gate opened, a powerful grievance gushed out from within. Zhang Jue even heard a shrill whistle. This was probably the result of SCP-3125 gathering inside for a long time. If it was an ordinary person standing outside the gate, it was likely to be affected immediately. But both Zhang Jue and Yang Wensong were already immune to it. Only Yang Xue's body twitched once again.

Although her eyes were open, her pupils were unable to focus, and it was clear that her consciousness was no longer entirely her own. But neither Zhang Jue nor Yang Wensong was moved by it. Walking into the room, Zhang Jue saw an instrument the size of a truck right in the middle of the room, and in the middle of that room, there was exactly one person's place left.

Zhang Jue put Yang Xue inside. Yang Wensong looked down at his daughter. Only then did Zhang Jue see the reluctance and guilt in his eyes. As Yang Xue's father, instead of doing his duty to raise her, he had pulled her into such a dangerous situation.

But that was the price for working at the Foundation. For these researchers, a family can only be put on the back burner because they held the burden of the entire human race. Zhang Jue thought of Dr. Scranton and Anna Long, who had joined the Foundation because of their daughters. But in the end, they didn't even dare to put her there.

I wonder how Kareena is doing now. With Cain protecting her, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Zhang Jue began to slip away, implying that the whole thing was still under his control. After a while, Yang Wensong suddenly sighed. The only thing left in his eyes was the steadfastness to die.

"It's not too late, Advisor Zhang. Let's get started." Zhang Jue nodded.

Yang Wensong activated the Concept Precipitator in order to capture SCP-3125, which could potentially be expelled from Yang Xue's body at any time. Zhang Jue placed his arm on Yang Xue's head and activated his skill.

In a flash, he entered Yang Xue's consciousness space. I don't know what kind of battle awaits him.
