"Huh...... Since I have the leisure to test and ridicule you......" Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "That means that the problem at hand is not complicated." ”

In fact, the moment Brother Jue touched this box, he had already received a system prompt that "SCP-1998's safe key is required to open it".

When a player tries to open a chest in the scenario, there is a big difference between having a hint and not prompting; If there is no prompt, or the prompt [cannot be opened], the items in the box are likely to be set by the system as "unavailable". But the prompt says "key required", and 100 is a way to open.

"Oh?" Billy heard this and thought for a second for a moment, "You got a system prompt?" ”

Although Billy couldn't hear the hint, he could infer it from Juego's reaction.

"That's right." Feng Bujue replied, "Follow the prompts...... You should be able to find the key to this chest somewhere. ”

"Isn't that the problem coming back...... "As I said earlier, the key is in the hands of those two men, and those two are either in the ......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say what I've said again, I don't have Alzheimer's yet." Brother Jue interrupted the other party, "Let me ask first, who is the person in charge of this floor?" After today's power outage, have you paid attention to his movements? ”

"Well......" Billy replied after a moment's thought, "this is in charge of Dr. Jonathan, a Belgian in his fifties who has made a lot of achievements in theoretical physics. He paused, "As for his movements after the power outage...... I don't know. Don't forget, B3 has an independent power supply, and the power outage didn't affect it much. But the radio at the time told everyone to evacuate to the emergency shelter area, so the personnel on this level were also removed. ”

"Are you sure...... Everyone on this level has been evacuated safely? Feng Bujue asked again.

"At least by the time you and the security team enter B3, there's no one else on this level." Billy replied, "As for their fate after they left B3, I don't know...... Whether it's a stairwell or a freight aisle, it's beyond my perception. ”

"Huh?" Feng Bujue still can't change the habit of trying to talk to others all the time, "Isn't this kind of thing 'perception range' expanding out in a circle? ”

"That's under normal circumstances." "But this is the DimDimensional_Sector of the SCP Foundation, and they're very skilled in the use of space technology, even ...... Far more than I could have imagined. He raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling, "How tall do you think we're on this floor?" Five meters? Eight meters? Before Brother Jue could answer, he said directly, "Don't think that the height you pass through in the stairwell is the actual height of each floor...... I don't even know how high each layer is, and it's not surprising that there is an abyss between them. ”

"Oh~ no wonder they don't have an elevator." Feng Bujue replied thoughtfully.

"Anyway, I don't know where Dr. Jonathan went, and when I evacuated, it was full of people, and I didn't have the strength or reason to pinpoint his movements in the crowd." Billy brought the conversation back and added, "Other...... Even if we now assume that Jonathan has arrived at the emergency shelter area, there are still two problems...... First, the area was heavily defended. Even if the security personnel over there don't know what you look like, you didn't show up that long after the alarm went off...... They will be arrested or executed. Second...... Even if you do get lucky enough to sneak into the emergency shelter area and find Dr. Jonathan, the key may not be his. Taking a step back, even if the key is really on him, how can you take the key, escape from the emergency shelter area, and return to this B3? ”

"Makes sense." "Then we might as well put this presumption aside for a moment and talk about other possibilities, such as ......" he touched his chin and said, "The doctor was killed by SCP objects who escaped from other floors during the retreat, and his body with the key was lying quietly somewhere in the stairwell or freight passage......"

"Relatively speaking, the situation you mentioned should be the most optimistic hypothesis." "However, there is a more pessimistic hypothesis......

"What do you mean...... The keys are stored in the hands of the person in charge of this base? Feng Bujue continued.

"That's right." Billy replied, "And the head of this base, Kozmo, is in a place that is more heavily guarded than the vault zone - the B9 command center. ”

That is to say...... If the key is in Kozmo's hands, it's unlikely that I'll get the key and come back to get the gun. Feng Bujue groaned.

"Infinity is close to zero." Billy replied.

"Huh...... Very good. Feng Bujue smiled and said, "According to this line of thought, the hypothesis can be directly ruled out." ”

When he said this, Billy seemed to react: "Because the system doesn't set up an impossible chain of action, does it......?"

"Bingo~" Brother Jue snapped his fingers, "Since the system has given a prompt of 'this box can be opened', it will definitely set up a feasible unlocking action chain." If unlocking this chest is more difficult than beating it, then isn't this setting meaningless? ”

"So there's a good chance that Jonathan will die outside the vault with the key?" Billy followed Brother Jue's train of thought.

"Yes, yes." Feng Bujue nodded, "Of course, based on my full understanding of the nightmare difficulty script and my own character...... I think...... There is also a high probability that Dr. Jonathan is currently in the emergency shelter area. ”

Bang bang bang –

Just as the two of them were analyzing and discussing, suddenly, a fierce explosion came from a distance.

In the solid base of this wall, if the sound was to travel so far, there must have been some kind of very strict situation.

"What's going on?" Feng Bujue said, "Could it be that there are any projects around here that have escaped?" ”

"Unlikely." Billy replied, "As I said, the outage didn't affect this level. He paused for half a second and added, "You will hear the 513 bell before, and it is caused by ** control." At the time, all other objects were still in containment and were not out of control. ”

"Then this is ......," Feng said unconsciously.

"Hmm......" Billy pondered for a moment, "I've been locking my perception on the seven members of the security team since ten minutes ago, and I've basically stopped perceiving other areas. He continued, "I guess...... Someone or 'something' got in. ”

"Then disarm the listening." Feng Bujue said, "Change to global perception." ”

"Ah...... I'm doing it. By the time Billy said this, he had indeed lifted the surveillance of Gore and the others, and changed the way of perception to a wide-ranging, broad form.

Correct......

"Uh-huh—" Two seconds later, Billy suddenly snorted, and his whole body slammed.

As if he had been impacted by some invisible force, he fell from his shoulder and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Brother Jue's reaction was fast, his eyes were quick, and he grabbed Billy with one hand, so that the latter did not fall to the ground.

"Hey!" Feng Bujue stared at the hateful-looking puppet in his hand, but the latter's face couldn't see any change in expression, "What's wrong with you?" He shook Billy, "Speak!" ”

At this point, Billy seemed to have "fainted...... Motionless, it's like a real puppet.

"What's the situation...... "Feng Buyi's thoughts are running rapidly, "I have been hit by some kind of mental shock?" He tucked Billy under his arm, turned and walked out the door, "Something can use mental power to bring Billy down?" ”

He thought as he took a step and ran.

"Trouble...... As soon as the goods are dizzy, the video and audio surveillance on this level will be restored, and the security team will be able to contact their superiors. Feng Bujue didn't stop at his feet, and said in his heart, "If nothing else, I am now under the surveillance of others again...... If you stop where you are and hesitate, you will soon be arrested again......"

Bang bang bang –

As we approached the corner of the hallway, the sound ahead grew louder and louder, sounding like a powerful physical blow crashing against a metal wall.

"Hmph...... Doesn't sound good...... "Having said that, Feng Bujue didn't mean to stop.

He knew very well that in this kind of nightmare, survival in danger should be a common thing. Anyway, for now...... Whether it is time or space, there is no room for detours.

Bang - Bang Bang ...... Boom –

In a short time, the corner of the corridor was already close at hand, and the closer it was, the more sure Brother Jue was that the sound of battle came from ahead.

And this is not a battle on the level of ordinary humans, but some creatures that are far stronger than ordinary people are fighting.

This sound is anything but unfamiliar to thriller players. Script bosses, high-level players, powerful NPCs, and more...... The movement caused by a super-level fight is roughly the same.

"What could it be......" Finally, Feng Bujue rushed out of the corner with a hint of curiosity.

But see ......

"It's ...... Where ......"

Blank...... Bizarre blanks.

The sound and images came to an abrupt end, and the memories were inexplicably interrupted.

One second ago, Feng Bujue was still running with Billy, and the next second, he was sitting alone in a small room of more than ten square meters, his wrists and ankles were handcuffed.

"What's going on?" Brother Jue suddenly felt a headache, and the strange feeling of memory jumping out of memory was the first time he experienced it, "I just ...... What do you see......" he muttered to himself, "no...... It's not just now, I've walked into that hallway, and it's been forty ...... No, fifty minutes ......"

He seems to "remember" something, but at the same time he remembers it, he "forgets" it. This process was like a self-visible psychological disorientation, which caused him considerable discomfort and mental anguish.

Buzz –

Just as Brother Jue was meditating on this grotesque feeling, the electronic door of the room opened.

A woman in a white lab coat walked in.

She was Caucasian, about forty years old, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and her long, curly hair tied back at the back of her head.

"Hello, Mr. Austin." After she entered the house, she walked to the opposite seat opposite Feng Bujue and sat down, and said hello to Brother Jue, "I'm Dr. Mara, I have a few questions for you." As she spoke, she casually glanced at the camera probe in the corner of the ceiling.

Seeing this, Feng Bujue also raised his eyes to look. In this small room, which can only accommodate one table and two chairs, there are actually two probes, and eighty percent of them still have audio capture functions.

"First of all, please describe the project you saw earlier." Seeing that Jue Ge did not object, Dr. Mara asked directly.

"What project?" Feng Bujue replied, "Billy? ”

"Nope." Mara said, "The one you saw when you took Billy into the hallway." She paused, "'It' was fighting our agents. ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Feng Bujue replied, "I don't think I can remember witnessing any fighting, although I seem to have heard the sound of fighting......

"And do you remember what you did during that time?" Mara asked again.

"I ......" Feng Bujue also wanted to know the answer to this question, that memory was clearly in his mind, but it seemed to be blocked out of reach, and every time he went to recall, he would have an indescribable discomfort," ...... I don't know. He simply gave such an answer, and in turn asked, "You have surveillance, right?" It's up to you to tell me about this. ”

Mara stared at Jue Ge for a few seconds, and instead of responding to his question, she changed the subject and continued to ask, "How did you get here, remember?" ”

"I'm ......" Regarding this question, Feng Bujue remembered it, "I was arrested and sent in by the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad." ”

Mara's expression changed slightly: "Where did you hear the name Nine-Tailed Fox?" ”

Feng Bujue sneered and did not answer.

"Where are you from...... Got information on items 106 and 513? Mara asked again.

"Ma'am." At this time, Feng Bujue had regained his usual calmness, "We might as well make a deal...... the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he cast a perverted gaze at the middle-aged woman in front of him, "Every time you answer me a question, I will answer you too." ”

"Hehe......" Dr. Mara snorted twice without smiling, "even if I'm Judy. Foster, you're not Anthony either. Hopkins, Mr. Austin. She paused, "Please answer my question carefully, or else...... You'll be sent to a harsher interrogation system. ”

"It doesn't matter." Feng Bujue leaned back in his chair and replied in a disapproving tone.

"Okay then." Dr. Mara sighed and left his seat.

"Oh...... That's right, Doctor. Just as the other party walked to the door of the room, Brother Jue suddenly spoke again, "Do you remember the question you asked me at the beginning?" ”

"What's the problem?" Mara replied.

"The number of that item...... It's the fifty-five, right? After a few minutes of conversation, Feng Bujue had already cleared his mind with a lot of words, and found an SCP item in his mind hall, which was just right to explain his memory loss.

[Item No: SCP-055]

[Object Class: Keter]

[Special Containment Measures: Subject is preserved in a square room built with a 5 x 5 x 2.5 m cement wall (approximately 50 cm thick), with an electrostatic barrier outside the concrete wall, and the entrance is blocked by a 2 x 2.5 m heavy door; When left open, the door closes and locks automatically.

Security guards are to be placed inside SCP-055's chamber. It is strongly recommended that all personnel studying other SCP objects remain at least 50 meters away from the room, and that the reasonableness of this request be not questioned. 】

[Description: SCP-055 is a "self-enclosed secret" or "anti-psychotic virus.] The physical properties of SCP-055, such as its nature, behavior, and origin, are classified separately, as stated by the following entry:

How SCP-055 was captured is unknown.

When it was captured and by whom it was captured is unknown.

The physical properties of SCP-055 are unknown, but it is not indescribable or invisible. It is normal for one to walk into SCP-055's room and observe it, then think, write notes, draw sketches, take photographs, and even video recordings, which are abundant in the text, however, surveillance personnel have stated that information quickly slips out of people's minds after such observations.

When personnel are dispatched to describe SCP-055, they will feel unconscious and quickly lose interest in the task; Personnel dispatched to sketch a photograph of SCP-055 will not be able to remember what the photograph looks like, and those observing the CCTV footage will become exhausted and lose their memories of the relevant one, approximately an hour.

It is unknown who authorized SCP-055 to be locked in such a room, why it was constructed, and why it was constructed in this way.

Although SCP-055's chamber is easy to access, no one has any knowledge of SCP-055.

All of these situations are periodically discovered by random archivists, alerted by many people, and then only for a few minutes, and people quickly forget about them.

There are numerous scientific records and archives regarding SCP-055, but there is no way to study them. On more than one occasion, the Foundation has planned to destroy SCP-055 or move it to another location, but for some reason have failed.

SCP-055 may be in danger of being severe, and may have killed thousands of people, but we do not know about it. Obviously, it causes a terrifying memetic/psychic effect, so we'll define it as Keter-class. 】

[Document #055-1: Analysis of SCP-055-

The author of the document believes. SCP-055 was never actually captured, but was voluntarily contained, or was either a remotely manipulated agent. It has been placed in the Foundation by other parties for the following purposes:

1. Silently observing and interfering in the Foundation's activities.

2. Silently observing or interfering with other SCP areas.

3. Silently observing or interfering in the human world.

Fourth, silently observe or interfere with other SCP objects.

Fifth, silently observe, or interfere [数jùshield].

Any action taken against this potential threat seems pointless, at least theoretically unfeasible. 】R1152
