Chapter 114 Traces Return to Zero, Memories Evaporate
Inside the Juxia.
"Anisomes... are those weird things that can erase 'existential cognition'... Just how many of these have the Containment Council gotten into? How do you contain them? How do you defend against them? There's simply no solution."
General Duao's face was ashen, and his voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
An unprecedented feeling of exhaustion swept over my entire body.
If it's a more tangible and eerie creature like the Shy Man or the 682-year-old Grandpa, at least you can make an appearance and see who's better.
but now……
He knew that something had indeed appeared just now.
And it's an antimeme.
The problem is, all information about it has been erased. Not only has its appearance been forgotten, but even the very fact that "it ever existed" has vanished from my consciousness.
He even doubted that he would recognize the eerie creature even if it were standing right in front of him, grinning maliciously.
How can we fight like this?
"You can't solve this... it's no longer a matter of power."
Angel Yan's voice came through the communication channel, hoarse and tired.
This battle angel, renowned for his combat prowess, sounded as if all his energy had been drained.
Something strange is about to happen.
But she couldn't sense it, couldn't remember it, and couldn't even bring herself to think that she was "facing a threat."
What's more terrifying than the fear of the void is... not knowing what you should be afraid of at all.
In the Angel Legion.
"Sister Yan...maybe...maybe this strange event isn't so dangerous? At least for now, no one is missing, nothing has gone wrong, and Earth is pretty safe..."
Zhi Xin spoke cautiously, trying to calm the atmosphere.
"Safe?" Angel Yan whirled around, her gaze sharp as a knife. "You said there were no casualties? Zhi Xin, how can you be so sure?"
That one glance made Zhi Xin's heart tremble violently.
The look of terror on the woman's face in the previous video was exactly the same.
She suddenly understood...
Anisophora can completely erase any trace of "existence." If an angel was truly devoured by it, then in everyone's memory, that person never existed!
The thought flashed through Zhi Xin's face, turning deathly pale.
The entire group of angel girls fell into a deathly silence, as if the air had frozen.
……
Devil One.
"Holy crap! Anisotropic memes?! They can even erase my memories?!"
Morgana erupted in fury.
She was too close to Earth, where the Mysterious 055 was located, and the impact she received was far greater than that on Reina and Yan. Without the remote protection of powerful figures like He Xi or Pan Zhen, her consciousness felt like it had been stuffed into a blender, causing her excruciating headache.
In contrast, while others simply couldn't remember, she was practically stripped of a piece of reality.
"Your Majesty! Look at the sky!!"
Ato suddenly roared and pointed his finger straight at the sky.
Morgana suddenly looked up.
The sky has changed.
The scene shifts, revealing an underground facility.
The shelter's logo was everywhere, staff were busy moving about, and the guards were tight... clearly they were watching over some top-secret room.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the surveillance camera's view.
Vague.
It's not a problem with image quality, nor is it a pixelation issue.
Instead, the brain instinctively resists remembering it. Once the gaze is focused, consciousness automatically drifts away, as if encountering some kind of mental privacy barrier.
It was right in front of me, yet it seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog; the more I tried to see it clearly, the more blank it became.
"President! You've arrived!"
A guard bowed respectfully.
in reality.
The person who arrived was Jiang Chen.
SITE19... The location of the strange 055 marked by the system.
He had already activated three-dimensional movement and zero presence, taken the X-type memory potion, confirmed that the coffin restart function was normal, and used his level 4 reality distortion ability to construct a distortion barrier around himself.
How many people are there in the entire base now?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
Dealing with these disgusting anisophora from people has to be done personally, which is really troublesome.
"President, 53 people are present, plus 2 who have taken the W-type memory serum. Everyone is on duty!"
The security guard stood at attention and reported, his voice crisp and clear.
"Okay, stay on guard. I'll send reinforcements."
Jiang Chen's tone was calm, but his gaze darkened slightly.
He knew in his heart that... the number of people registered as safe in the SITE19 system should have been 100, and there should have been 10 users of the W-type drug.
But now...
A total of 47 people vanished into thin air.
It's not death, it's not disappearance.
It was completely erased from our understanding, as if it had never existed.
And what's even scarier is...
No one noticed anything unusual.
Nobody remembers them.
In a flash, Jiang Chen's figure vanished.
When it reappeared, it was already standing deep inside the secret room.
Before us lies the entity codenamed Antimeme 055.
A strange wave surged in like a tide, silently eroding his senses... Visual distortion, mental confusion, fragmented thoughts, as if the entire universe was trying to "erase" him.
Even the projection on the dome froze at that moment: a blurry figure appeared and then froze.
……
"Holy crap? What did I just hear? The president?! Who's calling the president?!"
"Wait... was anyone there? Why did the video suddenly freeze?"
"I didn't mishear! It was definitely the word 'President'! This live stream went viral!"
"The president of the Containment Association?! That legendary, reclusive figure has appeared?!"
In an instant, the global internet exploded.
Social media platforms crashed instantly, and trending topics exploded.
Countless people flooded the screen with comments, questioning whether they were hallucinating.
It's not that I can't see it clearly.
It is simply impossible to focus.
That figure seemed to be deliberately ignored by the rules of reality, not even worth a second glance.
Zero presence...
Yet it left the deepest question mark in the minds of hundreds of millions of viewers.
……
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully popularizing the Mysterious 055??, you have gained 408 million Popularization Points]
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully containing the enemy. Rewards will be awarded.]
[Ding! Residual divine energy from another dimension detected. You have been marked by a higher-dimensional consciousness.]
[Ding! Unlocked Rewards: Reconstruction Permission for the Anti-Meme Department, Recipes for All Models of Memory Potions, Mysterious 868 - Mnemonic Meme]
[Ding! Top-tier merit reward activated: Anti-meme property (Level II - Cognitive erasure)]
A series of system prompts rang in my mind like a bell.
Then, the text appeared in the center of my vision...
Project Name: Mysterious 868 - Mnemonic Meme
Rank: Euclid
Description: A memetic contaminant derived from a memory enhancement treatment developed by Prometheus Laboratory Ltd.
It was transmitted bidirectionally through language communication and has now been purified by the system and granted the host the power to turn it on and off.
Infected individuals experience a significant improvement in short-term memory, which can extend to all memories from the first half of their lives over time.
The only risk: forcibly waking up deleted memories may lead to information backlash. It is recommended to use this feature in meme mode with the memory disabled.
……
Lines of information scrolled silently.
The Mysterious 868 is not a physical entity, but a "knowledge virus" that parasitizes the flow of information. It can quietly infect others as long as it is spoken.
Now that it's in Jiang Chen's hands, it means...
He can open it when he wants, and close it when he wants.
It's equivalent to having an adjustable memory amplifier.
"Perfect, to deal with those things hidden in our blind spots of cognition."
Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, another system reward was granted...
Reverse meme reconstruction.
Operating independently like a special task force, Jiang Chen deployed it directly to the base with a thought.
The next second, the entire organization automatically returned to its original positions, and the structure was complete.
"It's a great honor to serve you, President!"
A capable woman strode forward, her military uniform crisp and her eyes resolute.
She is Marion, the newly appointed head of the anti-meme department, nearly fifty years old, with a cool and aloof demeanor.
"Do you remember the 055 incident?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"Of course," she answered without hesitation. "I am aware of everything, including the process of your personal containment and the subsequent medication arrangements."
"very good."
Jiang Chen spoke in a low voice, slowly uttering a sentence...
That is the complete definition text of the bizarre 868.
The moment the words left his mouth, Marion's pupils contracted slightly, and a jolt of electricity seemed to run through his mind.
She didn't resist, nor did she need to.
As the first target authorized to be infected, her memory barrier has been elevated.
From then on, even if she forgot to take her medicine, those bizarre existences related to antimemes would never disappear from her memory.
of course.
Jiang Chen had already severed the meme transmission chain of 868... that contagiousness was completely cut off by the time it reached Ms. Marion.
"Remember this: do not mention it to anyone. From now on, you are the head of the Anime & Meme Department. Also, you must personally lead a team to conduct a weekly inspection of the secret cell where 868 is detained, Ms. Marion."
"Yes, Chairman!"
Marion, with a solemn expression, respectfully withdrew.
Jiang Chen didn't linger and continued counting the remaining rewards.
A whole range of memory aids, including Type Z... the kind that makes you forget everything instantly, but at the cost of instant death—a forbidden product. The side effects are too severe; it's basically a suicide pill.
But it's okay.
Jiang Chen had the Myriad Manifestations Tree make several batches of copies, which were then distributed to the Anti-Meme Department.
If these people don't take medication, they simply can't withstand the mental strain of their daily work.
What truly made him raise an eyebrow was the new ability the system had given him this time.
Name: Level II Anti-meme Characteristics - Cognitive Erasure
Effect: Active skill. Can selectively erase cognitive information about a specific object from oneself or others; the target will automatically forget all related content.
...It can be described in just one sentence, yet its power is terrifying.
"Ms. Marion, how are you feeling just now?"
Jiang Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at the outstanding female assistant beside him, who was also the head of the intelligence department, Yuan Wei.
"Ms. Marion? President... I don't quite understand what you mean."
Yuanwei blinked, her eyes clear but full of confusion.
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Jiang Chen chuckled softly.
Just now, he summoned Marion in front of Yuanwei and even used 868 to enhance her memories. She witnessed this scene with her own eyes.
But now?
She remembers nothing.
Because... he has already initiated [cognitive erasure].
Everything about Marion has been stripped away from the logic of reality. Even if cutting-edge butterfly surveillance cameras captured images, that data would be erased as if it had never existed.
This ability is illogical, operating almost on the level of causality. To put it bluntly: if the source is gone, the downstream will naturally stop flowing.
Traces vanish, memories evaporate.
The inverse meme characteristic is inherently defying nature.
But what truly shook Jiang Chen was something else.
"Being targeted by some 'gods' from another dimension? Ha... Just as I thought. There really are beings capable of crossing dimensions... and it started the moment I stepped into Room 055."
His mind raced through the possibilities.
As for 055?
Indescribable, ineffable. It can only be loosely explained as a fragment of some supreme divinity. It possesses a power of erasure stronger than the erasure of cognition... It cannot be seen, recorded, or archived, and can only reside briefly in Jiang Chen's consciousness.
[Ding! Host is ready. Proceed to the next inventory?]
The system notification sounded precisely on time.
【Yes】
Jiang Chen confirmed without hesitation.
……
The Angel Legion's base.
"The Containment Committee...wait, why can't I remember? A crucial figure clearly appeared just now...who was it? Strange, it feels like a piece of my brain has been ripped out, it hurts terribly!"
The angel covered his forehead, his brows furrowed, his expression pained.
"It's him! The head of the Containment Association! He's appeared! And... he's solved the fifth anomaly!"
Angel Yan suddenly looked up, her pupils trembling slightly, her eyes filled with shock and uncertainty.
However, the information jointly verified by Queen Keisha and Queen Hexi in the database clearly states: 100% confirmed, it is indeed the president of the Containment Association who has appeared!
