「?????????」
"Damn, how did Marion shoot his assistant Clay?? Wait, is Clay an antimeme?"
"I see, an antimeme, to put it simply, is something you can't remember, or even see, or anything like that!"
"It's not that you can't see it, ...right?
"Oops, it's something like that, and the reason O5-8 can't remember it is because he suffered from antimemes and forgot to take his pills?"
"See! Daigo Empowerment! This antimeme is actually something that people can't receive its message, or a monster? It's something like that anyway, tsk, what a genius idea!".
"Well, this section is a bit informative, what is Containment-055? Judging by Marion's description, that thing is also an antimeme?"
"And Containment-4987? Marion said that thing was a memory-eating pet, and followed her every day, think about it, it's really terrifying!"
"The amount of information is exploding! The document that O5-8 received must be the document of Containment-055, right? I don't know what the exact content of the document is...
"I'm super invincible right now, I want to know the files of these containments!!, I'm so curious!!."
"Contestant No. 9 is simply a god! The concept of antimemes, tsk, tsk, god !!."
"Who is Bart? Marion said that the document was written by Bart, and Bart is dead, how did he die?"
"I don't know, it's still a mystery, and if O5-8 had known what had happened to Bart, it would have ended miserab...ly."
"yes, so I'm curious about what happened, why just knowing about it, bad things happening...
"What kind of bad thing is that? Is it just death? It's terrifying, isn't it?"
"I feel like I understand a lot, but there are a lot of things I don't understand, looking forward to the plot later!"
"Clay is probably also an antimeme, otherwise why would Marion shoot ...him?"
"Bear with me, everything will fall into place!"
「...」
...
...
["There is no antimemetic department here" plot].
Three shots.
Marion used three shots and killed Clay.
And from beginning to end.
O5-8 are all calm.
"Clay's gun, you stole his gun. "
O5-8 said calmly.
"Yes, but it's not easy to do it quietly. Marion nodded.
She unloaded the magazine and carefully lowered the gun.
"But it's much easier to steal the gun first and then the memories of the theft. "
"Like I said earlier, pets, some pets are docile enough that they can be domesticated. "
"I guess that's the case. O5-8 nodded.
"Why would you doubt Clay, though?"
Marion looked directly at O5-8, "Because you should have taken a memory booster." "
"You can't miss a dose, I've tried, you may put it off for a while, but you will never forget, unless someone deliberately obstructs it. "
"And who has the opportunity to get in the way?".
"There's only one person left, and he's the only one who has the chance to be so close to you, that is, your assistant... Remember when I asked him how long he had been here?".
O5-8 nodded again, "Remember, I thought you were just sarcastic. "
Marion shook her head and smiled, "He doesn't work here, he's an antimeme." "
"When have you ever had an assistant? You didn't have an assistant. Look at this office, there's just one desk, and you have a receptionist outside, and she's the one who will answer your calls and schedule meetings. Where is this Mr. Clay going to be sitting? Where is he staying? You don't know, don't blame yourself, you're human, and these things are literal monsters. You've got to think like an alien to deal with them...
."
O5-8 is silent for several seconds.
Then he looked at Clay on the ground
"Is he dead?".
"Maybe. Marion was uncertain.
"But I'll take his body to the research center, and when we dissect him, we'll see what we can know, huh... It is also a matter of dualism, these things are like parallel universes that share a space with us, abstract and concrete, symbolic and substantial... Very few things come across the line. I don't know exactly what Clay is, but he does have a human body, which makes him weird, and even by our standards, as usual, the quest for the puzzle will continue, and I'll let you know if there is any progress. "
O5-8 bowed slightly, then asked
"Does this medicine have any side effects?".
Marion smiled and nodded:
"Well, it can be nauseous, and it also increases the risk of pancreatic cancer...".
Marion was silent for a moment, then added:
"And nightmares. "
...
...
"I'm going! this Clay is an antimemetic monster!"
"Now it's all explained, O5-8 forgot about these things because there were monsters around. 」
"It feels like antimemes are amazing, like a kind of information that you can't grasp, a dream that you can't grasp, it's really a genius idea!"
"This Marion feels so good!
"Marion just said pet domestication or something, meaning she domesticated an antimemetic monster!!?
"It's too much! It feels a little brain-burning, but at the same time, it's so enjoyable!!
."
"Is this Clay the monster theme for this game?"
"I don't think it's that simple, I feel like there's a lot of plot ahead!"
"If you think about it, you suddenly have one more person in your life, but you don't realize it, and you still feel that everything is normal, tsk, it's scary to think about it!"
"Antimemetic monsters, God!"
「...」
...
...
["There is no antimemetic department here" plot].
O5-8 was slightly silent when he heard Marion's side effects.
Then,
And he turned his head again
Turned his gaze to the monitor.
And the picture lens has also changed to the interface ... the display
The audience saw,
A file of the containment object
... is displayed on the monitor
[Containment-055, "Unknown"].
[Object Class: Keter].
[Special Containment Procedures: The object is to be kept in a 5m×5m×2.5m square room, made of concrete (the walls are approximately fifty centimeters thick), with a Faraday cage covering the concrete wall, and the entrance is sealed by a heavy door that will automatically close and lock unless deliberately kept open.
Security guards are not to be placed outside of Containment-055's chambers... All personnel maintaining or studying other containment objects are to remain at least fifty meters away from the geometric center of the chamber ...].
