Chapter 147: The Crimson King
It seems that this is the end of the SIN matter.
The company briefly appeared with "The Original Sinister" and then crashed like a meteor.
For all of the opponents of the same period, the works that were removed were no longer threatening.
It may have become a hot topic, but it no longer qualifies as a quarterly supremacy.
But does this have anything to do with the SCP Foundation?
Yes, of course...... Some!
Because Guan Li received a request for cooperation from SIN.
"They want 231. Guan Li told Ye Lingxing the news, "SIN has taken a fancy to SCP-231-Special Personal Needs. ”
"SIN decided to adapt 231?, but I remember that ......" Ye Lingxing was about to deny it, but after thinking about this project, he was a little unsure, "Okay, even if that project is somewhat in line with their direction, 231 is really not suitable for adaptation into animation." ”
SCP-231-Special Personal Needs is a very unusual file.
Its author is none other than the famous Dr. Clef.
- F, but the author of the previous life who was the webmaster of the Foundation and created the character "F" based on himself.
Clef is one of SCP's finest authors.
231 is actually one of his early works.
But this work is so good.
As a legendary entry that has managed to score thousands of points on the main site, 231 not only created a secretive post-apocalyptic synonym for SCP, "The Crimson King", but also took the thoughtful thinking of blank space to the extreme.
"231's large blank space, if it were to be animated, would turn into a maddening stream of consciousness. Ye Lingxing read that article and was impressed, "Everyone will ask 'What is the 110-Montauk program?', but there is no answer. ”
"But that's the charm, misleading the audience, leaving them to their imagination, and finally making them confront the despicability of others and their own minds." ”
What was written in 231?
It was nothing more than a "necessary" procedure that the Foundation used to prevent the end from coming.
The Foundation rescued seven women from a cult known as the "Son of the Crimson King".
They are all in an abnormal state of pregnancy.
Based on the records recovered from the pagan group and subsequent incidents, the Foundation had to develop the infamous "Procedure 110-Montauk" and make every effort to ensure its implementation.
"Seven seals, seven rings, seven brides, dedicated to the Crimson King. ”
These seven women are the "brides" dedicated to the "Red King".
And the "children" they give birth to will bring untold disasters to humanity, and even lead to XK-class apocalyptic scenarios.
The first "child" was soon born, killing its "mother" and subsequently incurring an even greater catastrophe.
The second "child" erupted when removed by the Foundation, and casualty log data was deleted.
The third "bride" committed suicide as a result of the long-term pain caused by the Montauk procedure, and the outcome of the incident was once again covered up.
The Foundation used SCP-500-panacea on the fourth "bride" in the hope of relieving her pain, only to pay a heavy price for it.
The fifth "bride" died as a result of the misconduct of the Montauk procedure, after which the Foundation's criteria for requisitioning D-class personnel to administer the procedure were further revised.
Finally, a Foundation agent could no longer watch them endure such torture, and he took the last two "brides" to escape containment. In the chaos of the firefight, the Foundation killed the agent, and the sixth "bride" was accidentally killed by a stray bullet.
As a result, the Foundation was left with the last "bride", a little girl who was suffering as she should not have suffered, SCP-231-7.
Her emaciated body was the only rope that lifted the world from the abyss.
And the "110-Montauk Procedure" is a ritual to maintain this rope.
You're bound to ask "what is this 110-Montauk program?"
I could only answer "I don't know." ”
The file does not describe the specific content of the program, only revealing some of its peripheral information.
"All personnel assigned to SCP-231-7 must be replaced for a one-month period of psychological counseling after two months of on-site service. ”
"Personnel transferred to SCP-231-7 must undergo advanced psychological testing before being allowed to enter the site. These individuals must: score at least 72 on the Milgram Obedience Test, be unmarried, childless, and demonstrate complete loyalty to the Foundation. ”
"Any personnel who sympathize with SCP-231-7's plight and/or express a desire to rescue or sympathize with SCP-231-7 are to be immediately transferred to another object. Any attempt to free SCP-231-7 will result in immediate termination. ”
"Six D-class personnel are to be transferred to SCP-231-7 each month to carry out Procedure 110-Montauk. Violent offenders are not to be used for this purpose, as they could cause accidental death in the 110-Montauk procedure. ”
"Procedure 110-Montauk is to be performed at least once every 24 hours by D-class personnel. At least one staff member with Level 4/231 security clearance is to be monitored by cameras at all times during Procedure 110-Montauk, and the sound may be turned off if SCP-231-7's sound is too distressing. ”
"Analysis of the emotional response of SCP-231-7 subjects indicates that the effects of Procedure 110-Montauk appear to peak between the third and fourth executions: fear of the procedure appears to increase the emotional response for a period of time, after which habituation of the procedure begins to diminish its effects. ”
"I recommend that Class-A amnestics be administered once a week during Procedure 110-Montauk to return them to a basic emotional response state. This amnestic is to be administered during Procedure 110-Montauk in order to maintain a high emotional state after the memory reset. ”
and the O5's reply: "It's not going to end that poor girl's suffering. It doesn't work to give her medication. She had to be aware of what was going on for the 110-Montauk procedure to work. ”
That's all.
It still doesn't tell us what this Montauk program is.
But look at the key words – "regular counseling", "no rescue", "fear at all", "high emotional state".
Now, imagine what the Foundation would do to a pregnant girl.
……
You should be able to imagine something.
Then instinctively self-denial.
- "No, it shouldn't be that. ”
But, yes, that's the one you think.
That was the "110-Montauk program", the only "ritual" that would pull the world out of the apocalypse.
That was the "necessary evil" that the Foundation was forced to bear in order to save humanity.
It is necessary and still sinful.
Pulling malice, facing fear, feeling the truth, and cutting the cycle – the ultimate creed of the culture of bad virtue.
SCP-231 - Special Personal Needs are surprisingly compliant.
It's no wonder that SIN wanted to get the rights to adapt the project.
Night Spirit: "You agreed?"
Divine Will: "Oh, not really. ”
Night Spirit: "Why?"
From the point of view of the stakes, there is no reason to refuse.
SIN is a company that has high requirements for its own work, and if 231 is going to be adapted into an animation, it is indeed appropriate to hand it over to them.
"Because 231 is just an introduction, a precursor to the arrival of the 'Crimson King'. Guan Li began to spoil those entries that have not yet been launched, "Of course it is not possible to adapt only this one item independently." ”
SIN took it and changed it blindly, what should I do with the files after this series of foundations?
"So you ......"
"I showed them the content of the Crimson King series. ”
It has to be changed together.
