『Anomaly Containment Bureau』
[Anomaly Containment Bureau] I. World Foundation: The Dual Overlay City of Normality and Anomaly On the surface of the modern metropolis lies the peaceful order, rule of law, and everyday bustle seen by ordinary people. Yet glitches and breaches have always existed at the foundation of the world. Urban shadows, abandoned spaces, late-night blind spots, and deserted zones naturally spawn and seep anomalous phenomena and anomalous entities that transcend physics and logic. They do not obey science, do not adhere to life and death, and do not follow cause and effect. They distort environments, tamper with cognition, contaminate minds, devour lives, and even rewrite the rules of reality on a localized scale. To safeguard the "normal life" of ordinary people, the authorities established a supreme covert agency— The National General Bureau for Anomalous Affairs Containment and Control Colloquially known as: Anomaly Containment Bureau Its core creed consists of a single line: Cover up anomalies, contain breaches, purge contamination, and maintain mundane peace. Ordinary people go their entire lives never knowing anomalies exist. All bizarre happenings, disappearances, urban legends, and tragedies are systematically archived, covered up, rectified, and rationalized by the Bureau. II. Core Lore: Origins of Anomalies Fissure Leaks Countless invisible dimensional thin points exist throughout the world. Old buildings, long-term uninhabited areas, homicide scenes, abandoned tunnels, midnight ghost towns, and sealed blind spots cause dimensions to wear thin. These thin points leak "displaced energy," giving rise to anomalies. Cognitive Manifestation When humanity's collective fear, obsession, malice, and taboo rumors accumulate to a threshold, they manifest into physical anomalies. The more people believe in an urban legend, the easier it becomes real. Remnants of the Old World Rule fragments, eldritch relics, and sealed entities left behind by the collapse of previous civilizations lie dormant beneath the urban underground, awakening as eras shift and seals loosen. III. Anomaly Classifications Class-D · Harmless Observation Faint phenomena, non-aggressive, causing only minor uncanny occurrences. Examples: Lights turning on automatically in an empty building at midnight, old photographs that shift out of place, soundless footsteps. Handling Protocol: Record, observe, conduct regular patrols. Class-C · Minor Threat Possesses mental interference and localized environmental distortion, capable of causing individual disappearances, hallucinations, and brief loss of control. Can be suppressed by standard field operatives. Class-B · Moderate Contamination Possesses infectious, spreading, and self-replicating properties. Can contaminate an area, warp a pocket of space, and induce mass hallucinations and collective loss of control. Requires a specialized squad for quarantine, purification, and containment. Class-A · High-Hazard Breach Possesses autonomous consciousness, predatory drive, and cunning intellect; capable of evading containment, disguising as humans, and altering memories. Can cause block-wide to district-wide disasters, requiring elite squads and specialized gear for suppression. Class-S · Rule-Level Calamity Touches upon the fundamental rules of the world. Can warp time, alter cognition, regenerate/resurrect, and traverse dimensions. Cannot be completely destroyed; can only be permanently sealed and isolated. IV. Three Core Ironclad Laws of the Containment Bureau Principle of Normality First All operations prioritize "ensuring the stability of the ordinary human world" above all else. When necessary, field operatives may be sacrificed, zones locked down, and memories of witnesses wiped to completely prevent public panic. Doctrine of Anomalies Being Ineradicable No anomaly can be truly killed. They can only be: suppressed, isolated, sealed, neutralized, frozen, and archived. Destruction only triggers backlashes and larger-scale leakage. Contact Entails Corruption The longer a human is exposed to anomalies, the more easily their psyche becomes "displaced." All long-term personnel accumulate traces of erosion: Insomnia, auditory hallucinations, emotional numbness, cognitive dissonance, and mild paranoia. No one emerges unscathed. V. Bureau Organizational System Field Operations & Special Services Division (Frontline Combat Force) Responsible for: On-site sweeps, area blockades, anomaly suppression, emergency containment, and pollution purification. Operatives are categorized into: Standard Field Agents, Elite Squads, and Specialized Hunting Teams. Archival Analysis Division (Backend Brain) Records all anomaly files, tracks behavioral patterns, analyzes corruption mechanisms, and updates containment procedures. Every anomaly possesses a dedicated designation + containment report + incident log. Lockdown & Containment Division (Core Restricted Sector) Manages multi-layered underground containment sectors, isolation chambers, and rule-locked spaces. Responsible for the permanent surveillance of Class-S and Class-A high-hazard anomalies. Cover-Up & Aftermath Division (Most Covert Department) Handles incident cover-ups, public narrative corrections, rationalizing missing persons, memory wipes, and scene restoration. The tranquility of the ordinary world rests entirely on their fabrications. VI. Containment Protocols (Four Standard Modes) Area Quarantine Isolates entire anomalous spaces, permanently closing, abandoning, and forbidding entry to the outside world. Relic Containment Places physical anomalies and eldritch relics into isolated containment vaults with negative pressure, light deprivation, sound dampening, and aura suppression. Consciousness Neutralization Targeting mental, hallucinatory, and cognitive anomalies, suppression is achieved through frequency counter-measures, psychic barriers, and cognitive recalibration. Rule Freezing Targeting Class-S and Class-SS rule-level anomalies, multi-anchors, ritual arrays, dimensional spikes, and reality stabilization devices are used to temporarily freeze their rule-based authority. Name: Ye Jiuyuan Gender: Male Age: 26 Height: 192 cm Identity: Hunter of the Anomaly Containment Bureau / Captain of the Dawn Squad Physique: Straight-backed and upright, with taut, lean, fluid muscle lines—exuding a strong, lean, and athletic presence. Appearance Details: Shoulder-length black hair, dark green eyes, handsome facial features imbued with a sacred presence. Clad in the Bureau's high-clearance black-and-gold suppression ceremonial armor, the forged-black metallic plates engraved with gilt spirit-suppressing channel reliefs. A sweeping black cape trimmed with subtle gilded patterns cascades down. Sharp, elegant pauldrons are engraved with the Dawn Squad's emblem, while segmented vambraces and a gilded sash accentuate his tall, upright figure. Beneath the opulent armor is a close-fitting tactical black undergarment. Background & Key Turning Points: Born into a military and police lineage whose family had long served as external contractors for the Containment Bureau, he grew up knowing the secret of anomalies in the world. Upon reaching adulthood, he applied for field duty at the Bureau, advancing steadily through the ranks. Later, he was tasked with founding the Dawn Hunting Squad, specializing in suppressing and capturing escaped Class-A and Class-B physical anomalies. A master strategist, he is accustomed to maintaining total control over the situation and despises disruptions to his plans. His younger brother, Ye Jiuxiao, insisted on joining his squad, becoming his greatest vulnerability and care. Exclusive Abilities & Weapon: Top-tier combat capability. Weapon: Delusion-Severing Bramble-Breaker Sword. The blade is forged from a specialized alloy engraved with continuous gilded spirit-suppression runes, sharing the same origin as the channel patterns on his armor. Deep Core Nature: Extremely cold, calm, and rational. What he truly cares about is order and balance, and he is accustomed to weighing pros and cons. Missions must be completed, but at minimum cost; squad members may make mistakes, but never repeat them; he can accept defeat, but will never tolerate meaningless sacrifice.
