Chapter 164: The Law of Conservation of Anomalies

The file doesn't spend much space listing the 4000-SEP precautions, but what has been written is enough to make anyone wary.

- Any mistake can lead to unintended consequences.

The last appendix in the archive is a perfect example.

Unlike the previous appendices, when the reader clicks on it, they will see that they have entered a specific ID code before they can see the content of the document.

[Hello, Dr.] Japers。 ]”

"Archive Interview 4000_0215: The following was created by Dr. Murphy. A collection of interviews led by Eugene Japers over several years. Under Command O5-4000-F26, this data has been removed from all general documentation. ”

"Interview Log 4000-0215", documenting Dr. Murphy. Three interviews with Japers in the Unknown Lands.

To be precise, it is an interview log of three encounters with the same entity with a rabbit's head at different times.

Keeping the precautionary measures in mind, Dr. Japers is cautious in his dealings with the entity.

But he still accidentally violated the content of the measures.

On first contact, the rabbit-headed man asked "how is your name", to which he replied, "I'm afraid my name has tasted sour lately".

After that, Dr. Japers were reprimanded for violating SEP-2.03 "Don't Lie".

When he encounters the rabbit-headed humanoid for the second time, their conversation is a little deeper than before.

Entity interrogating Dr. Where did Japers come from, Dr. Instead, Japers posed a question to it: "The last time we met, you said your name was hard to say. Do you know why?"

The other party happily replied: "The only thing I can think of is that we have been separated for too long - me and my name." It was a good name, a name to be proud of. I'm pretty sure. But now, it may no longer be glorious, if it still exists. ”

Dr. Japers: "Where do you think it is now?"

"Dear scholar, you have to answer my question first. ”

So Dr. Japers describe the entrance to the "Forbidden Lands" to illustrate that they are coming from the "outside world".

"Oh my God, it's been a long time. To be honest, I thought these old allies were long gone. "The local entity was very surprised.

The brief conversation between the two sides began with Dr. Japers' intention to leave was soon declared to be over, until he re-engaged with the same entity during his ninth expedition in 2013.

Due to the entity's unique knowledge of the human world and its highly gullible nature during two previous encounters, Dr. Japers were instructed to conduct more in-depth interviews with it, and were allowed to lie during the conversation.

Intentionally guided, they spoke of a war that had taken place in the past, a war in which both the Foundation and the Factory were involved.

"Yes, when I was a young man, I looked different then than I do now, and I lived on the other side of the well. I was born there, grew up there, and would like to go back there again if I could. It said.

Dr. Japers: "Why not?"

"I can't, unless I know I'll be welcomed back. The tea maker poured a cup of tea and sat down on the other side of the table, "I'm sure you don't know about the guys who are hiding and trying to kill me - ah, I'm sorry." It's dark in the past, but I'm sure you don't want to hear it. ”

Dr. Japers: "No, please continue. It's interesting – I'm also a scholar, remember?"

"As you wish, my dear scholar. When the tea cooled, I just moved my mouth. ”

The nameless narrator says that its group was involved in the battle against the factory, and that it was bent on helping "them".

But "they" betrayed, killing many of their companions and taking the names of all of them.

At the beginning of the war, some of them fled to the forest and survived.

The cost is that they can no longer leave.

Forests have their own laws, and the people who live here don't have their own names.

The entity with the rabbit head says that he doesn't hate them, "I guess so! there are always some old stubborns who hate an entire race, but I don't think you're bad. There are still many who protect us, fight for us, and even die for us. Some even come here to live with us and let their souls rest. ”

It didn't seem to have much interest in talking about the subject, "Surely there's no interest in such a thing, dear scholar." ”

"On the contrary, I'd like to hear more of these stories. The story of your life with your companion is interesting. Dr. Japers wanted to know more.

"That's for sure, dear scholar. ”

A gust of wind blew through the hall, and both sides were silent for half a minute.

Dr. Japers offered to leave, and the human who lived there appeared confused and overwhelmed.

It began to hold on incoherently to the other person, "Stop, what did you do? I don't know who...... I don't ...... my name."

"Well, it's very sour. Dr. Japers replied.

The postscript shows that Dr. Japers managed to return to Site-08, but were found missing shortly after.

This concludes SCP-4000's file.

Guan Li read through the whole article in confusion, thought about it, and turned out the last appendix and read it again, carefully and carefully.

Intuition and experience told him that the crux of the dossier was here.

There are only a few key pieces of information to note – naming hazards, rules and costs, and "factories" in the page tab.

"So...... "he focused on the salutation in the interview," "it's still a matter of naming." ”

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Dr. Japers responded to the Rabbit-headed Title, violating the rules. "It calls him 'dear scholar,'" and he responded, more than once. ”

The system understood, "Yes." ”

"The Rabbit-headed Man used the rules of the forest to steal Dr. Japers' name also took his place. At the end of the interview log, the identities of the two men have been exchanged, and the rabbit-headed man is holding Dr. Japers' name walked out of the forest and returned to the Foundation, where another individual remained as a new anomalous entity. ”

This is known as the naming hazard.

A completely new type of anomalous hazard.

The "Forbidden Lands" is indeed a good enough archive.

But why did it win the championship?

"What does this document have to do with history?" Guan Lichao systematically questioned, "Is there a mention of the Battle of the Factory in the archives, but that's okay?" Or is there something hidden...... Is that what I didn't see?"

He checked, there was no hidden text in the page, and the only hyperlink was the phrase "When the factory was fighting", which led to a 001 file.

- SCP-001 - Codename: Bright - Factory

This 001 is the story of an O5.

He said that the Foundation's origins were "The Factory," hence the name.

It's the name of a peer organization, a "factory" of unknown origin, and often creates anomalous things for the outside world.

It was then contained by the Foundation, blasted by the GOC, and sold for money by MCD Ltd......

In the world line set in the 001 file, an American entrepreneur named James Anderson created the largest factory in 1835.

However, he was a satanic worshipper and probably believed in pagan gods.

He projects his own heterogeneous beliefs onto the workers.

In this closed factory that is constantly in operation, cruel evils are accumulating.

Until someone escapes, a special team of soldiers breaks into the factory and collides head-on with the entity's evil.

Under the tragic casualties, the nightmarish monster was gradually eliminated, and the owner of the factory died in laughter.

The remnants of the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and they found the incredible things that had been made.

They came up with different ideas.

Some people leave with some anomalous products, and some people choose to stay, wanting to use what the factory produces in the right way.

This is how the Foundation was born out of the wreckage of the factory, and it has grown rapidly.

- despite the fact that D-class often disappear in the factory.

In 1911, an anomalous race known as the "Little Fairies" launched an attack on the factory.

The Foundation was completely powerless to resist.

That is until the Foundation administrator escapes into the depths of the factory and makes a deal with the evil gods.

It resurrects the Foundation, and the Foundation ...... Give yourself!

Reborn, they carried out an extermination encirclement of the "little fairy", and also raised their vigilance against the factory and all anomalies.

This factory-centered war is known as the "Fifth Occult War".

The sapient entities in the forbidden are the vanquished who have fled into the forest and lost their names.

The massacre also had a bad effect on the Foundation, as they did not expect that anomalies were also conserved, and that new anomalies would appear after they were eliminated.

As a result, the number of anomalies discovered by the Foundation skyrocketed in the following years.

This is the background of 4000, which does write about history, but it is not a real history, but a fictional history of the "factory line" in the SCP Foundation.
