Chapter 22: The Matter of the World

The system doesn't know where it comes from, but it knows its responsibilities and capabilities.

- Searching for traversers in the human world on the scientific side, and assisting them in spreading the existence of the SCP Foundation.

Why choose the Traverser?

Why spread the culture of the Foundation?

Why, when the system is so advanced in manufacturing technology, should it only be allowed to carry the original archival text?

It's easy to create a high-end cultural product with the theme of the Foundation, isn't it?

The system had doubts, but—

Ah, none of these questions matter.

The system is just a tool, and compared to other tools that have been forcibly destroyed because of "illegality", it is indeed much luckier to be labeled as "legal" by the Space-Time Copyright Office.

He has possessed many traversers, but Guan Li is undoubtedly the most unusual of them.

And not just character.

Also because of the experience.

Due to privacy regulations, the system can't think through the binder—although it does.

However, at the request of Guan Li himself, everything about his past was finally revealed.

The system finally understood where the strange feeling it had sensed several times from Guan Li came from.

- because this person is different in his own right, cut off from this ordinary world from the very beginning.

As an SCP Foundation-specific system, it has seen countless apocalyptic scenes, but the "K-Class Doomsday Scenarios" that appear repeatedly in Foundation records are nothing more than unrealistic textual descriptions.

The logical thinking of the system does not do a good job of imagining that scene from the text.

But what exists in Guan Li's memory is the real end times.

A world that is in ruin and moving towards death.

In the beginning, it was also an unanomalous city, just like every thriving and stable human society.

Guan Li, who spends most of his life on the Internet, came into contact with the SCP Foundation by chance.

And be attracted to it.

He himself tried to write a file, but in the end he couldn't even see the results, and finally had to admit that he really didn't have a talent for writing, just watch how others play.

As a result, Guan Li did not register an account on that site, nor did he communicate with the creators who spoke under the page.

- Their ideas are interesting, I just watched from afar.

The system no longer wants to complain about his awkward personality that is both troublesome and does not give up easily, whether he was born with it.

It knows that the end times are coming, so such daily life is also precious.

A large part of Guan Li's memory is occupied by the post-apocalyptic experience of just a few years, and the memory of the pre-apocalyptic era is becoming more and more faint, but this knowledge of the Foundation is extremely clear.

I don't know if it's because of too deep contact with the Foundation in this life.

So beyond those remnants of peaceful memories, the system saw a real and incomparably apocalyptic scene.

The first pieces that float up are the most impressive, those nodes that change the life of Guan Li.

—The moment when the world is alienated into eternal night, the first person killed with his own hands, the sky he saw when he opened his eyes when he became a "wing", and the moment when he looked at "God...... At the end of all nodes, it sees itself.

After Guan Li traveled to another world and stayed at home for half a month, an unknown entity that suddenly broke into his spiritual realm suddenly asked, "Hey, traverser, are you interested in being the communicator of the Great Foundation in this world?"

"Yes...... SCP Foundation?"

"Huh, you actually know about the Foundation!" the system was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly took out the authorization agreement, "Do you want to sign this agreement?"

Guan Li took it over, and then started a series of stories that followed.

I didn't expect that I had such an important position in the administrator's heart, and the system shook twice embarrassedly and continued to scan......

"What are you looking at unrelated things?" Guan Li seemed to sense that his memories were leaking, and his tone was slightly dignified, "Focus on checking if there is anything wrong with this body, not for you to look at my memories!"

If it had been before Guan Li's identity was known, the system would probably only regard this almost warning tone as his daily convulsions.

They listen, but they don't care.

But since I knew that this person had passed through the end times, he was still a rare eschatological type of semi-religious and half-superscience......

The system is wilting faster.

Although the body has changed, it is inevitable that it will not reach the level of horror in the past, but the soul is still the same as before!

It suddenly thought of the terrifying ten-meter radius of Guan Li when it activated the mind control realm.

Ten meters! Ten meters! Absolute control over any matter!

This is not what a normal person's mental state can achieve!

Why are you only reacting now?

Is it really because of insufficient IQ......

No, why are you thinking about this now?

The current priority is to check! Full body scan!

Pulling back the idea of taking himself off the rails of the universe, the system didn't dare to wander anymore, nor did it dare to continue to spy on Guan Li's memory, so it had to sweep hard at this body, trying to sweep out any clues.

However, before it could ramp up its efforts, the answer came on its own.

It's as if you had expected to be checked at the information level, and you had been waiting for this moment to jump out.

The mood of the system is mixed.

Well, anyway, this can explain a lot of things, "Administrator, I found the reason." ”

"Say it. ”

"......" The system felt a little difficult to say, and simply reproduced the information he got in front of Guan Li's eyes, "The original owner of this body did not die, he left by himself." ”

What appeared in front of Guan Li's eyes was a sentence that could barely be called a "message".

Guan Li of this world, after coming into contact with an outside force called "Exotic Light", decided to leave with them.

He anticipated that the "soulless body" he left behind would become the source of attraction for the space-time wanderers, and for some reason he left a message for the time-traveler.

Then when Guan Li woke up in this world, the gap in the surrounding information can also be understood.

It's just that all of them were deleted by the original owner.

It's good that someone else kindly left a payment password.

Even if Guan Li didn't notice this information, he would be able to continue his life.

In this way, this passage is an easter egg, and even the commenter himself doesn't know if it will be discovered.

It's just that the last sentence "You are welcome to live happily in this world~" is a little ill-intentioned no matter how you look at it, which makes Guan Li wonder if there is still a pit in this identity.

Not to mention this person's actions, he also had questions about some other places, "Exotic Light?"

The system hurriedly explained: "A ...... that is out of time Belch...... Religious organizations should be religious. They believed that the body was the shackle that bound the soul, and that only by breaking free from this prison could they be restored to being 'free souls born of light'. ”

So when the original owner left, he only took his soul and memories with him, and threw away his body casually.

"The cult of Notisism?" Guan Li had heard of this religious theory, but he didn't expect that there would also be a religious system at the level of time and space, "There will be so many people who believe in it?"

"You said it was a cult......

"Isn't it powerful?" Although of little practical use, Guan Li raised the question out of a certain habitual subtle inquiry into religious forces.

"It's amazing. The system nodded heavily.

"Compared to the Copyright Office?"

The system replied decisively: "It's not comparable at all, the copyright office can beat them!"

“...... Oh. ”

The topic was interrupted, and one person, one system, was silent for a while.

The system couldn't bear this silent atmosphere, and after a while, it forcibly found a topic to say, "I didn't expect you to have such a good impression of me, administrator, I thought it was ......"

"Why?"

"Just to the Foundation...... I don't really care, but that feeling. ”

"I really didn't pay much attention to it. ”

“...... Ugh!"

"But as a reason to live in this world, it is enough. ”

The system doesn't know how to answer this sentence, but it's inexplicably a little happy, what's going on?

It may never know what it means to Guan Li.

In the frenzy of Haoge, he was cold, he saw the abyss in the sky, he saw nothing in all eyes, and he was saved in hopelessness.

From the last days when the coldness and cruelty of life and the glory are all in sight, to the strange and still prosperous new city, Guan Li's mood is far from being as calm as it seems.

- The Foundation?

- If there is a Foundation......

- If there was a Foundation in your original world......

Can you believe it?

Unbelievable.

But, what a yearning.

A world guarded by someone in the dark.
