NOVEL WEB Chapter 55
【Day 14 of the incident】
【May 5, Sunday】
Members of the Foundation who were holding a meeting appeared in the light curtain.
A researcher held"Star Signals" in his hand and reported in a serious voice:
"After repeated investigations, it has been confirmed that"
"The book is concerned with rising rates of admissions to mental hospitals and arrests for bizarre behavior, most of whom are nonviolent."
"However, all confirmed cases of these behaviors are interspersed with a strange, unrecognizable, consonant-heavy delusional speech."
"According to further research"
"The book"Star Signals" is currently classified as a cognitohazardous anomalous item."
"Eventually designated SCP-1425"
"In a sense, the text of"Star Signals" is classified as SCP, so at this moment the Foundation is experiencing a large-scale containment breach."
"
So we must act immediately.���The anomalous effects of SCP-1425 are determined by the staff.
Based on the broadcast date of the television program"Reading Circle". Based on the strict reading method of
SCP-1425 (starting on Monday, and reading one chapter every weekday thereafter for two weeks), and when the reader has read the entire volume of SCP-1425 in its entirety.
"In other words, the spread of this symptom must be completely stopped before May 10th or even earlier."
"Because after that, readers who bought"Star Signal" on the day when the"Reading Circle" was broadcast will complete their entire reading process."The researcher said seriously.
The starlight beside him turned into text, introducing the Foundation's actions.
【Day 15 of the incident】
【Monday, May 6】
【Researchers at Storage Site 40 and agents at O5 Headquarters teamed up with two of the Foundation's subsidiaries - CMA (Communications and Stabilization Agency) and EID.】
【A plan was devised to recover, contain, and destroy as many instances of SCP-1425 as possible.】
【This plan was programmed as Ophiuchus】
【Immediately implemented measures including the following steps】
【first】
【Believing the publishing company to be a Fifthist outpost, three mobile task forces were sent to the printing plants in Texas, Maine, and England.】
【As the Foundation expected】
【All of the above task forces encountered armed resistance, but no casualties were reported.】
【All three printing plants were occupied by the Mobile Task Force】]
【Secondly】
【Launched an international recall】
【By using a powerful intelligence network, the Foundation's agents spread a series of news about"Star Signals" through the media, and the publisher issued an official statement saying that the eleventh chapter of the book was omitted from the print.】
【And there is a serious typographical error in Chapter 10】
【In order to successfully recall this book】
【Customers who turned in copies of Star Signals were offered a $25 coupon. Bookstores in both countries turned in their stock of SCP-1425 due to the recall.】
【third】
【Begin monitoring all national media outlets, particularly network television, for anomalous phenomena related to SCP-1425.】
【If any such abnormal phenomenon occurs】
【It will be necessary to use one of several classified methods to delete it from the media.
When this series of actions were carried out, the heavens and the worlds had a great understanding of the Foundation's quick and decisive actions.
In any case, the Foundation's response was already very good.
——
The first program intercepted by the Ophiuchus program was an interview between a host of a daytime talk show and the musician Beck.
At the 18th minute, the following event occurred:
The screen showed a host holding a microphone. He looked at the middle- aged man in front of him and smiled.
"I heard that you are very idealistic. Is your work influenced by this?"
"Yes, definitely." Beck nodded and smiled:"Idealism can affect everything. No matter what I am doing, I always try to do it with basis."
"The key to this sentence is"try"""
"So there is a reason for"practicing" idealism. You can never be good at it....."
The middle-aged man was hung up before he finished speaking. The female host had a strange smile on her face.
She adjusted the camera angle to a close-up of herself and began to stare at the audience and laughed softly.
"Can I say something?"
"You guys need to stay calm now, take a deep breath"
"Remember what that man said. In three times the stars may die, but the world may survive five."
"Like a worm injecting maggots."
After saying this, the strange expression on the female host's face disappeared.
She turned her head and looked at Beck again:"What were we discussing just now?"
The middle-aged man also seemed to have lost his memory, scratched his head, and said hesitantly
"Uh, I don't seem to remember..."
"You seemed to be discussing some celebrities....？"
——
In response, the Foundation contacted the TV station and immediately issued a public statement.
It said that the host was"suffering from fatigue" and would not be on the show next week. The corresponding investigation is currently underway, and no evidence has been found that he is a member of the Fifth Church.
However, at this time, the consequences of the previous"Star Signal" epidemic began to gradually become apparent.
【From Day 12】
【Public media reported dozens of cases where people behaved like the Boyars.】
【This mental illness】
【On television, the Internet, and in newspapers, it is called"Ojai Syndrome"】
【And it is completely impossible to explain its principles to the public】
【The Foundation must take more resolute actions in this regard.
PS Those that are rarely seen will be introduced. In fact, except for the Immortal Lizard, the ones I expose are basically those that others have not written about, or are not written well enough.
I will introduce the Void Emperor and the like, but I have to write about other events first.
