Extermination Part 3

Just when Loris and Yang Xue, that were controlled by SCP-3125, pull the trigger. A wooden stick flew outside the door and knocked the gun out of their hands.

There was someone else in here?

Zhang Jue and Kiddo looked at the door at the same time. A person that Jue Zhang couldn't have imagined in any way appeared in front of them.

"Gray?"

...

Gray had used a Z Class memory enhancer, and although he had recovered all his memories. He had also burned out his brain at the same time. He died bleeding from his seven orifices in a miserable way. Both Yang Xue and Zhang Jue had repeatedly confirmed the fact that he was dead.

They buried Gray in the sand dunes not far outside the site, and later Loris went to pay her respects. The Gray in front of them was covered in traces of sand and dirt, so it was clear that he had indeed crawled out of the sand.

However, the feeling he gave to Zhang Jue was very different from before. The original Gray was forced to remove all of his memories after the battle with SCP-3125. All the senior researchers of the Antimemetics Division were wiped out, and the others were evacuated. His ability is not enough to take up this heavy responsibility of what happened back then.

He showed the usual hesitation and uncertainty that this Gray, who came back from the dead, had a whole different look in his eyes. There is no longer that familiar look. Instead, they were resolute and confident.

Zhang Jue looked him in the eye. "You're not Gray." Zhang Jue said, "Who the hell are you?"

"Advisor Zhang, you're really something."

"Gray" said with a smile, "With people like you, the Foundation can go farther." His attitude and tone of voice were completely different from Gray's. It was as if he was talking to a senior.

As if a junior was talking to his senior. It seemed to be a different person indeed.

Before Zhang Jue could say anything, "Kiddo" pointed his finger and suddenly became shocked.

"It's you?!"

"Kiddo's" expression was agitated, his eyes were red, and he looked at Gray with eyes full of resentment. He hated to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

"Not bad, It is indeed me." Contrary to SCP-3125's reaction, "Gray's" eyes were calm, "We have struggled for more than ten years. It's time to end this."

When the words came out, Zhang Jue could guess his identity.

"You are Yang Wensong?"

"Gray" nodded gently. He looked at his current body and laughed to himself, "My consciousness has been wandering around the site, and only someone like Gray, who died from brain damage, could be possessed by me. Since Gray has been injected with a Z Class drug, I won't be infected while I'm in this body."

Zhang Jue laughed.

"That dark figure is you, right?"

"Yes, I've been watching your actions." Speaking of which, Yang Wensong glanced at Yang Xue with a tender gaze. "Thank you for protecting my daughter."

"You're welcome." Zhang Jue said, "But Dr. Yang if you want to thank me, you better come up with something good. You should have some kind of savings or treasure after so many years at the Foundation."

The two of them were acknowledging their relatives here, and SCP-3125 was already furious.

It controlled Kid and said, "Yang Wensong, since you dare to show yourself. Neither of you two will leave here alive-"

Before it could finish, Zhang Jue slapped him in the face, "Why are you so fucking clueless? don't interfere when adults talk!"

"You..."

"How dare you talk back!" He said, followed by another slap.

Two of "Kiddo's" teeth were knocked out, and his mouth was already a bloody mess. Zhang Jue hit Kiddo's face so that SCP-3125 simply couldn't cause any substantial damage. What had happened was not very damaging but extremely insulting.

SCP-3125 has been fighting humans for many years and has always had the upper hand. When has it ever been treated this way?

Yet two of them can't be bound by magic. Yang Wensong was also not afraid of it because he occupied the body of Gray, who had used the Z Class memory enhancer. As a metaphysical concept, SCP-3125 suddenly found himself helpless against the two of them.

As soon as SCP-3125's mind moved, Loris and Yang Xue attacked Yang Wensong. Although Yang Wensong is a civilian, but looking at the stick he just threw, you know that in terms of physical strength is definitely not weak.

Yang Xue and Chen Xiao learned Chinese Martial art. If the two are sparring, who wins and who loses is unknown. But after her mind was affected by SCP-3125, her body was not so sensitive.

Yang Wensong, who possessed Gray's body, subdued them in three blows and tied them up with ropes he found from nowhere. During that time, Kiddo stormed and grunted at them. Zhang Jue simply knocked all his teeth out so he couldn't speak.

However, the problem soon came. However, they took care of SCP-3125's followers on this site. But just as SCP-3125 had no way to do anything to the two of them. They also had nothing effective to do with SCP-3125.

He tied Kiddo, sat on the steps, and looked at Yang Wensong, who had his head bowed in contemplation.

"The way you look now, there's really no way I can associate you with that wise man."

Yang Wensong smiled, "Then what should I look like? Wearing glasses and well-mannered?"

"Something like that." Zhang Jue looked at Yang Wensong without speaking.

"I know you still have your doubts about me." Yang Wensong looked back over, "If you have any questions. You can ask them, and I'll try to answer them."

"Good, then I'll be polite." Zhang Jue said, "All these years, you've been hanging around here? What have you been doing?"

"As you can see, I was looking for a way to defeat SCP-3125, and it can be said that I was thinking about this matter every moment."

"Any results?"

"A little progress of sorts, but not as a mainstream tactic."

"How so?"

"You should know that SCP-3125 can control human beings by controlling their intentions and thoughts. After a period of research, I found that it cannot succeed when a person's mind is in chaos, and I relied on this to escape its effect. But at the cost of the person's consciousness is detached from the body."

Zhang Jue looked at him, "Then why didn't you suggest to Director Healey to use this method so they wouldn't die either?"

Yang Wensong sighed. "This method was only in the research stage. None of the several tests I did succeed. Most of the D-Class personnel went crazy, but the situation was already serious. SCP-3125 infected many people. Many of my colleagues on the site were killed by their peers, and people couldn't trust each other. If it continues, the whole site will be completely wiped out."

"That's why you hide all those memory enhancers?"

"Yes." Speaking of that past, Yang Wensong could not help but be gloomy. "After discussing with Director Healey, I decided to hide the matter. As long as the researchers were not given the memory enhancers, they would forget those killed companions. It was better than killing each other under panic."

Zhang Jue said, "But if that happens, there will be no way to proceed with the research on the Antimemetic Anomalies Contamination Project."

Yang Wensong nodded, "Director Healey decided to throw her weight around and go head-to-head with SCP-3125 once it started to appear. Although I opposed it, she didn't take my advice. But I can understand her. Even if we continue to delay it, it's just like a volcano waiting to erupt."

Having said this, Zhang Jue looked at Yang Wensong and did not speak for a long time. He pondered for a long time before asking, "If I'm not wrong. The battlefield for your research is within door number 3 of that underground building, right?"
