As someone who is more familiar with the setting of the SCP Foundation, Feng Bujui immediately understood a lot of things after hearing the broadcast.

The first is "Dim_Sector". As far as Jue Ge knows...... [Sector] stands for "a large facility with many special functions, usually used to house Safe and Euclid level SCPs"; "Dim" is an abbreviation for DimDimensional, and the prefix indicates that "this Foundation facility is used to study and isolate SCP objects with special spatial abilities, such as the ability to jump and distort ordinary space".

From this keyword, we can know two things: first, the scale of this base must be very large; Second, the base contains at least one spatially capable SCP object.

Second, the phrase "multiple containment procedures have failed and casualties have been reported...... Undoubtedly a very clear tip.

In addition to SCP-173, it is apparent that at least two or more SCP objects within the facility are out of control. The power outage that happened just now is likely to be caused by other projects that are out of control. The ripple effects of this state of affairs are difficult to predict...... God knows how many SCP objects will be breached by a power-off for a second or so.

"Sure enough...... It's a far cry from that game......" Feng Bujue muttered thoughtfully after running through the corridor for a while.

By "that game", he refers to SCP-173, a fangame made more than forty years ago (in the time of Juego). Although the game is a sincere masterpiece, it is still a low-budget work after all, and it is relatively "streamlined" in every sense.

Whether it's the details of the environment, the size of the map, the number of NPCs, the number of SCPs, the overall difficulty, and the story...... The SCP world shaped by the "system" of Thriller Land is obviously much larger and more complex.

"Whew...... Finally found ......" ran down the corridor for a full five minutes, and finally came to the stairwell.

Along the way, there have been more than a dozen forks on both sides of the corridor, and there are corresponding signs at the corners of each fork, and there are also multiple arrows in the corridor that indicate the direction of the stairs, so it is impossible for Brother Jue to go the wrong way.

"Anyway, this base is a bit ridiculously big...... "Brother Jue gasped and walked to the electronic door of the stairwell, "from the real room where SCP-173 is held to this stairwell...... The straight-line distance is more than 360 meters. And the signs on those forks in the road indicate that ...... At the end of each path is a space to contain SCP objects. That's it...... The area of this floor is conservatively estimated to be tens of thousands of square meters......"

He muttered as he pressed a red button next to the electronic door.

Tick –

After a beep, the door opened, revealing the stairwell at the rear. The lights in the stairwell are also red, exactly the same as the rest of the place.

At this point, several researchers in white coats were running down the stairs from the upper floor. When they passed in front of Brother Jue, they only glanced at the gun-wielding D-class officer with a panicked look, and didn't say much. Looks...... There was something else that scared them more than the gun-wielding criminals who were close at hand.

"Is the emergency refuge zone down there......" Feng made such a judgment from the route these people moved, "Hmm...... Yes, once some objects are out of containment, they have to be dealt with with with with strategic nuclear strikes, and it is pointless to escape from the ground or the air, and the only way to survive is to hide underground. ”

Just as he was thinking, the electronic door behind him opened again. A second later, a researcher ran out of the door and hurried downstairs.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Feng Bujue immediately stepped forward to grab the man, pointed his gun at the other party and asked, "Is the emergency refuge area down there?" ”

"Yes...... Yes. The researcher stared at the muzzle of the gun and replied nervously.

"Where are the Anomalous projects at this base?" Feng Bujue asked again.

"Uh......" The other party hesitated visibly.

Tutu Tu –

Feng Bujue raised his gun, swept a few bullets towards the ceiling, and then put the muzzle of the gun against the man's chest: "I hope you can understand...... In the current situation, I have the guts, the ability, and the reason to do anything. ”

The researcher swallowed and glanced at each of the stairs leading to the upper and lower floors to make sure that there was no one nearby for the time being, before lowering his voice and saying, "My clearance does not have access to the Anomalous object, and I can't go to many areas of the base...... All I can sue you is...... On the first, second, and fourth basement floors, there shouldn't be anything you're looking for. ”

Before his voice fell, he could only hear ...... Zizi ...... Zizizi...... A strange sound came from the other side of the electronic gate.

The researcher immediately exclaimed, "It's coming!" Run! Or you'll die! ”

Unconsciously, Feng let go of the man and removed the muzzle of the gun, and the researcher ran down the stairs without looking back.

Brother Jue stood very calmly in place and said, "Cut...... What is there to be afraid of. He looked at the closed electronic door behind him, "It won't open on its own." ”

It was clear to Feng that the "zizzling" sound was the sound of SCP-173's body rubbing against the wall, but 173 did not have the IQ to "push the switch".

"I'll see...... This is ......" he said, and he had already moved his gaze to the sign next to the electronic door and saw the word [B2], "Oh...... Is this the second basement floor......" As he spoke, his mind raced, and all the signs beside the fork flashed through his mind, "Okay...... This level is indeed contained by known SCP objects, and there are no anomalous ......"

He thought as he took a step and walked downward.

After stepping through dozens of steps and turning one hundred and eighty degrees, he came to the electronic door of the third basement floor [B3].

But...... There is no protruding red button on the side of the door, and instead there is a card reader.

"Hmm...... Do you want to wait and see......" Feng Bujue immediately thought, "If the people on this floor haven't been cleared yet, then I just need to stand here and wait for a while, and someone will open the door from the inside." Then I used a gun to force the other party to hand over the pass card and enter this floor......"

As a result, he only waited two seconds before giving up the idea because ...... In the interval of those two seconds, he heard a beep of "tick-".

The sound came from above, indicating that the electronic door on the level of [B2] was opened at this moment.

But...... After the door opened, there was no other movement......

Regardless of footsteps, wheezing...... None at all.

Feng Bujue quickly realized something, and he turned around suddenly, his eyes widening.

At the same second, SCP-173 appeared in front of him, and the two were less than a meter apart.

"Heh......" When he turned around, he saw such a scene, and normal people would have jumped up in fright, but Feng Bujue could still laugh, "If I turn back half a second later, I'm afraid I will already have my neck broken......" Feng Bujue said in a relaxed tone, and on the premise of "staring" at SCP-173, he bypassed the other party and walked upstairs step by step.

While he did not blink as he walked around the corner of the stairs, SCP-173 remained out of his sight.

At this moment, Brother Jue looked back and stared without hesitation, and sure enough, he ...... 173 teleported to his back, and was "stunned" by him again.

"Alas...... I don't know what kind of fuss it is, are all the people in B2 dead? Why did you come after me? Feng Bujue looked at the other party intently, and reached back, touching the button of the electronic door.

Once the door opened, he walked back into the hallway of B2, blinking only when the electronic door closed automatically, blocking his vision.

Next, he stood there and waited for a moment, listening intently...... This time, there was no sound on the other side of the door, and the sound of "zizi" did not sound again.

"This guy ......," Feng Bujue quickly made an inference, "It was 'rubbing the wall' and accidentally touching the button when he walked." ”

He guessed correctly, 173 would not take the initiative to "press" the electronic door switch, and the fact that he opened the door was a complete coincidence.

"Anyway, it shouldn't catch up in a short time......" After a few more seconds, Feng Bu Jue left the electronic door and walked slowly towards the other end of the hallway, "I'll go around this level first." ”

His strategy and actions have always been calm and reasonable......

Sudden accidents like the one in the stairwell just now are handled by someone else...... It was likely to hang up, but he handled it in an orderly manner.

First of all, instead of "going down" according to habitual thinking, he chose to turn back.

Because he didn't know whether the door on B4 was a button or a card reader, and if he had to enter that floor with a card, he would have to go down another floor, but the situation at B5 was also unknown. To know...... In the stairwell, SCP-173 is bound to be taken out of sight for each floor moved, and for each time SCP-173 is taken out of sight, the player is exposed to a deadly threat. It was in order to minimize this risk that Jue Ge returned to B2.

Secondly, there is another reason for Feng Buju's return - that is, he has written down all the "signs" on both sides of the 360-meter corridor. Therefore, he can be sure that, with the exception of 173, there are no particularly threatening (if you don't actively provoke) items on the B2 floor.

To sum up, all its actions ...... It's all done after thinking calmly and weighing the pros and cons.

In the midst of the crisis, Feng Bujue showed a kind of ease that was enough to surprise the onlookers.

…………

Three minutes later, Feng Bujui came to the staff lounge in B2.

Although it is a staff lounge, it is ...... here There is also an SCP object.

[Item No: SCP-294]

[Object Class: Euclid]

[Special Management Procedures: No standard special containment procedures have been documented for SCP-294.] However, only personnel with security clearance level 2 or higher are allowed to come into contact with them. SCP-294 is currently stored in the staff break room on the second floor, guarded by two guards with Level 3 security clearance. A security clearance must be obtained for contact with them. 】

[Description: SCP-294 resembles a normal coffee vending machine, with the only notable difference being that it possesses a touchpad for input, with a key layout that matches the Corti keyboard (the standard keyboard we use today.]

Upon placing a 50-cent coin into the coin hole, SCP-294 will signal the user to use the touchpad to enter the name of any liquid. Once the input is complete, a standard 12-ounce paper cup is produced and filled with the specified liquid. 】

[97 tests conducted...... Including water, coffee, beer, soda and other beverages; non-consumer products such as sulfuric acid, wiper fluid, motor oil, etc.; and substances that do not normally exist in liquid form, such as nitrogen, iron, and glass...... All of them were great successes. However, testing of solid objects such as diamonds has failed, and SCP-294 appears to be able to output only substances that can be stored in a liquid state. 】

[It is worth mentioning that after about 50 uses, the machine will not continue to respond to commands.] But after 90 minutes, "it" seems to restock itself. It's also interesting to note that many of the corrosive liquids that are supposed to corrode ordinary paper cups don't seem to be able to do anything about the cups dispensed by the machine. 】

"Aha!" Brother Jue smiled excitedly when he saw this coffee machine.

However, he didn't wait to use the machine. What he prioritized...... It was the pockets that searched the bodies in the room.

After Feng Bujue returned to B2, many corpses had been found in the corridor, and for these corpses...... He also treated it equally. Researchers, security personnel, and D-class personnel were all searched by him.

Although the items on these people are really limited, they still have a lot of resources when they get together.

Say...... LEVEL3 PASSES, LET'...... 50 cents of change, let's say...... Pistols, pistol ammunition, submachine gun ammunition, walkie-talkies, and much more.

In short, it's all something that you don't take for nothing......

"OK, something is better than nothing...... Feng Bujue walked to the front of the coffee machine, first counted how many 50-cent coins he had in his hand, "three is fine......

In fact, he was lucky to find three of these coins. D-class personnel are usually left empty, while the personal belongings of researchers and security personnel are grouped into a storage room within the facility. Most of the people who would bring things like "change" into the test area were careless and forgot to empty their pockets.

"So...... The first cup of ......" Feng unconsciously threw a coin, and after seeing the prompt, he quickly typed a sentence on the keyboard - [a glass of woody].

I have to explain it here...... What SCP-294 is capable of producing is not limited to human creation, or even human cognition.

For example, a Foundation agent named Joseph typed in the "Joe" command for a joke with a friend. Shortly after the selection was confirmed, the agent became sweaty, complained of being dizzy, and quickly collapsed to the ground......

After transferring it to the infirmary, the medical team retrieved the contents of the cup distributed by Item SCP-294, which was found to be a foul-smelling mixture of blood, flesh, and other bodily fluids. Most disturbingly, testing has shown that the DNA sequence of the tissue sent by SCP-294 is identical to Joseph's.

There are many more examples or realities like this...... Commands such as "a glass of music", "my life", and "surprise me" were all responded to by this coffee machine, although some of them turned out not to be good......

For these, Feng Bujue is naturally clear, so he will enter the seemingly nonsensical content of "a glass of woody".

Buzz Buzz –

After receiving Jue's instructions, the coffee machine began to roar and began to tremble and shake......

This process lasted approximately twenty seconds, after which the phrase "Hey, hey, hey, ......" was displayed on SCP-294's input pad.

"Cut...... Did you fail......" Feng Bujue said unhappily, "But shouldn't it show 'out of range' when you fail...... what ......kind of trouble is 'hey, hey, hey'?"

Disappointment to disappointment, he threw in the second coin and typed in — [A glass of liquid that would render SCP-173 immobile when not being looked at]

One might ask why Brother Jue didn't just enter "a liquid that can kill SCP-173"? This is certainly justified, because ...... He remembered that SCP-294 had a note in the relevant addendum:

Addendum [SCP-294y]: Computer logs on SCP's public servers indicate that researchers have typed "something that could destroy miè SCP-682". Recovered footage shows a brilliant liquid flowing into the cup, increasing in intensity until the camera is unable to continue recording. At the same time, all contact with the facility was cut off. Subsequent investigation concluded that the site had completely vaporized, leaving only a small clump of trees surrounding SCP-294. SCP-294 was quickly transferred to another containment site, where it was placed under equivalent management procedures. Information about the incident is only available to O5 personnel. Any further testing involving SCP-682 is forbidden, and violators are downgraded to D-class.

The above appendix is the lesson of blood......

Maybe 173's hostility and intelligence towards humans are not as exaggerated as 682's, but in terms of strength, it is not necessarily worse than the latter, Feng Buyi estimated...... What if he had a liquid like the one in that accident, if not the entire base, but a room...... I can't bear it myself. Therefore, he used a safer and more secure method.

Buzz Buzz –

Soon the machine sounded again, and after a while, a paper cup fell from the machine, and a small cup of liquid was immediately poured into the paper cup.

"Huh~ It's done!" Feng Bujue picked up the cup and put it on the table in the lounge, "It's easy to do now, find out 173 in a while, and splash it on the face." ”

After putting the paper cup away, Brother Jue returned to the machine and put in the third coin.

If the liquid specified by the second coin could not be generated, the backup plan for the seal was to ...... a cup of liquid that would keep my neck from being twisted or a glass of liquid that would allow me to never blink, but now that he had something to suppress 173, he had another excellent chance to try.
