Xu Jing and Li Weigang arrived at the 198th floor archives of the SCP Foundation's skyscraper.
Exiting the elevator, a golden light materialized on the floor, just skimming over their ankles—it was neither technology nor Spiritual Energy, but a memetic barrier membrane that isolated the entire 198th floor from the other levels.
Xu Jing had visited the archives only a few times, and she could never get used to the sensation of losing part of her memory after each visit. This was the protection of the O5 Council for themselves and the reservation placed upon lower-level staff.
Every subordinate who entered the 198th floor would forget three things upon leaving:
First, they would forget how many people were in the O5 Council and what they looked like.
Second, they would forget the words the O5 Council wished them to forget.
Third, they would forget when they had visited the 198th floor, and with whom.
