["There is no antimemetic department here" plot].
After the last conversation between Kim and Marion ends.
New images soon appeared.
It was a lake.
Above the lake, there is a small boat.
On the deck of the boat, blankets are spread.
An old man lies on it,
There was also a woman next to her.
"Lynn, do you remember me?".
The woman spoke.
She was none other than Marion.
As she opened her mouth to ask questions, she was removing the needle from the box containing medical supplies in front of her and carefully handling it.
Lynn's old eyes looked at Marion, and a large number of memories slowly welled up in his mind.
Marion ... I remember... You were originally a field agent... You're getting old... It seems like I've taken you through hell countless times ...."
While speaking,
Marion had already injected him with the serum.
"Lynn. Marion said softly.
"You died, you died surrounded by the grief of your family. They love you so much and cry for you. The funeral takes place a few days later, but unfortunately, you can't see it yourself, you're dead, and that's it. "
"When you retired from the Foundation, Lynn, we did what we did to all retirees; We'll give you some medicine to help you forget. Since you last walked out the door, everything you have done for us – the great work, the countless lives saved – has vanished, and the cover story that has been closed for you for so many years will become true. You've spent your entire retirement thinking you're a former head of the intelligence system. You want it, we want it, and you agree to it. "
"But you have to agree to do something else. You have to start recalling, I've given you a shot of serum that reverses the aging process of the human body, it affects everything: organs, tissues, memory... You'll be able to remember it quickly. Remember?".
"I remember..." Lynn began.
"You signed the last twelve hours of your life to us. You demand a fulfilling, happy, rewarding retirement... But now, on the last day, you're going to work for us again, because there's a special assignment. I've written it all here, and I see it, do you recognize your signature, and mine? These are all testimonies of me. "
"Yes..." Lynn began.
"Do you remember who you are?".
Lynn felt more memories welling up in his head, and he spoke slowly
"Lynn... Foundation Staff ... The founder of the Antimemetics Division...
".
Marion laughed.
It was a good feeling to see the old Lynn again.
"We need your memory. Marion explained, "Memories that no one else in the world has touched, they are buried so deep that you can't get them without killing them." So this afternoon, we're going to do that. We're going to extract these memories, and you're going to die when they're done. "
Lynn nodded slightly.
He recalled something more.
He remembered the secrets
The secret that has been delayed to this day.
"What happened that year?".
Seeing Lynn's state, Marion spoke.
...
After a short period of time,
Lynn's body has recovered a lot, her skin has become clean, and her breathing has improved.
He sat up.
After a momentary pause,
He began to narrate ...
And the picture also flashes and changes ... with his narration
...
That year, Lynn created the Antimemetics Division.
During the week of the legend, Lynn came up with all this on a whim, creating the discipline.
Later, with the help of three hand-picked assistants, the original antimemetics researchers, the first chemical mnestic enhancer was extracted.
Prior to this, the Foundation had never observed an antimemetic anomaly, and it could be said that the entire work was carried out in complete darkness.
But despite this, the team still dug for gold - passive information black holes, active information predators, unremembered worms lying on human skin like dust mites, contagious bad news, self-enclosed secrets, living murders... Wait a minute.
...
"But it's all too fast. "Special containment procedures take more time to develop, more than I do. The entire Foundation discovers dozens of new anomalies every year, and I alone have discovered so many in a year, it's all too easy, like I already knew, I can reach out and take them out ...
."
"Then one day, I realized that I couldn't remember my life before the Antimemetics Division. I know I've been an agent for the Foundation for decades before I have the authority to open my own department, but nothing else. There's a wall in my heart that no mnestic enhancer can cross. I went to the paper archives to find my personal file and ...
".
Lynn paused.
He shook his head.
"I didn't make it, and after half a working day, I woke up at my desk and I didn't remember anything... This repeated this dozens of times until someone pulled me out ...
".
"After that, I started investigating, and I kept collecting evidence... Then I found a hole, and it was like a saw with only edges and corners. "
Then I did the only thing I could, and I looked at the shape of the hole... Finally, with Bart, and others, I came up with a theory. "
Lynn paused again, then said
"I'm guessing that this wasn't the first antimemetics division, and before that year, there was another. I was a part of that department, and maybe even I was leading it. Of course, I should also be the only survivor of it...".
"The power of an antimemetic has eaten and devoured the concept of this antimemetic department. I was a little lucky and survived. As for the others, whoever they were, no matter how many they had, all disappeared without a trace. "
Hearing this, Marion next to him nodded:
"Yes, we all know that, I was there when you wrote your notes, do you remember?".
"Now, the question is known, but the answer to the question, without killing you, we can't find it. We've been waiting for answers for so many years. I'm here to ask you, what the hell is going on?".
Lynn was silent for a moment
Then he shook his head slightly: "Answer... Haven't remembered yet... I still need more serum ...".
Marion nodded.
He was then injected with serum ...
...
After being injected with serum again, Lynn was in a better condition.
Looks a lot younger.
He stood up.
It's been too long for him to experience this feeling of age.
Carefully recalled,
Lynn spoke
"In the beginning, we weren't members of the Foundation. "
"The first antimemetics unit, from the national program... We call ourselves ...
".
"The Incredible." "
"At the beginning, it was to experiment with advanced propaganda methods. The goal is to go beyond physical conflict and find a way to break the ideological machine... After two years, enough theories have been developed and the task moves to the stage of engineering problems. After another two years, the engineering problem was also solved...
".
"We've made some kind of special bomb. "
"Unfortunately, we didn't understand what we were making, and at the time, we didn't have the mnestics to protect ourselves from the elements. "
"We're stuck in a loop. "
"Textbook, we built an incredible bomb, a test explosion... Works perfectly. The bomb wiped itself out, erasing our successful test detonation and dispersing all the knowledge that had been built together. We simply forgot that we had built this bomb ...."
"And then everything starts all over again...".
Lynn smiled self-deprecatingly.
"But in the end, we finally realized that something was wrong... In our process, there is a four-year vacancy with no other explanation...
".
"At the end of the day, we put the pieces back together, but everything in the outside world was over... After that, we completed the second antimemetic bomb ...."
"After that, we hid it. "
...
"The state has been secretly researching antimemetic weapons for a long time... Marion said.
"Yes..." Lynn nodded.
"But... Is that why you resurrected me, for a story?".
"Not ...
".
Marion shook her head.
"I resurrected you because I needed a detailed answer. "
"I know you've already answered to some extent, but the antimemetic bomb is just the way, isn't it?
"The Incredible." "
"They blew themselves up, and I don't know what happened ...".
"That's right, it blew up ...."
"And based on what we have, they should know what they're doing, right?"
Lynn was silent for a moment.
Then he nodded: "Yes, I know ...
