"Become an anomaly?!"

This is another side of the Containment that the Avengers have never heard from the SCP Foundation.

Humans are able to transform into anomalies through experimentation.

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to be like that."

Jack Simon took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth and said slowly in a reminiscent tone in the smoke.

"The reason why anomalies are called anomalies is that they are completely different from ordinary people or common sense, so once you become an anomaly, it means that you are no longer human, at least among the objects I come into contact with, except for a special case, the vast majority of the rest of the researchers have completely lost their human thinking after becoming an anomaly, and act as a completely different species or being, and as you can see, the existence of most anomalies is a threat to human beings."

"This is why the 'Chaos Insurgency' takes the anomalies [containments] that can communicate with them very seriously, because the anomalies that can communicate with humans are themselves a minority of the few......"

"Exceptions?"

Right now, Jack Simon is constantly describing anomalies and the dangers of studying them.

However, Tony's attention was naturally drawn to the special case mentioned by Jack Simon.

Although he was very concerned about Jack Simon's inadvertent revelation of his anomalous research experiments, Tony clearly knew that this was not the right time to discuss the situation.

So, suppressing his inner desire to explore, Tony took a deep breath and returned his gaze to the Rikers Island prison in front of him.

"Hopefully, the anomaly we've encountered this time isn't as dangerous as Jack Simon you've said."

Inside Mark 51, Tony said, turning his helmet to look at the vision.

The latter, with his head, comprehended his ability to activate it.

With the faint light of the gem on his forehead flickering, the illusion's entire body became transparent like a phantom.

Raising his virtual arm, Vision didn't hesitate to reach for the Rikers Island prison in front of him.

The moment his finger touched the iron door of the railing of the Rikers Island prison, the light of the Mind Gem on Vision's forehead skyrocketed a little, and at the same time, his blurred body appeared like ripples in the water.

"What's going on, Vision!"

Noticing the strangeness on Vision, Tony immediately asked.

Retract your palm from the iron railing, and control your ethereal body to stabilize again.

Vision looked down at his finger, which had just come into contact with Rikers Island Prison, and appeared lost in thought.

"I don't know, Mr. Stark, there seems to be an unknown force in the Rikers Island prison trying to invade my mind."

The vision with the Mind Gem is almost the most stable existence in the entire universe in the Mind World.

Although, because of the strength of the gem in the past, the power that Vision can use is only a very few.

However, even so, the power of Vision is extremely powerful in the Avengers.

Able to influence his consciousness.

It is enough to prove that what happened inside the Rikers Island prison is unusual.

"However, although this method of consciousness invasion is stealthy and difficult to guard against, as long as you take precautions in advance, you should be able to resist it."

He shook his head and swept away the strange feeling inside.

Vision recalled the feeling of this consciousness invasion on him, and reminded Tony and the others in front of him.

"Is there subtle mind control?"

Hearing Vision's words, Tony muttered again.

From the previous network communication to the influence of thinking, they have not even set foot in the Rikers Island prison, and they have already encountered some small troubles.

"I knew that when it came to anomalies, no single action could be done simply."

In front of the Rikers Island prison, when everyone was silent.

Playing as Chaos Insurgency member Jack Simon, he spoke, leading the way.

I saw him pouting in the protective suit formed by the [Yellow Lantern Ring], with a look of disgust on his face, but skillfully re-lit a cigarette and put it on, his eyes swept over the avenger in front of him.

"Now that it's been decided, don't hesitate, the effects of many anomalous abilities are often superimposed, that is to say, the danger of the anomaly will continue to expand or increase with the passage of time, and eventually reach the point where it is difficult to control, although I don't know when the abnormal situation in the Rikers Island prison began to occur, but judging from the current scenario, it is obvious that the Rikers Island prison is already within the influence of the anomaly's power, if you don't want to watch this situation continue to expand, you have to take a risk."

"After all, anomalies don't wait to cooperate with your actions."

"The longer it drags on, the worse it is for us."

The reminder given by Jack Simon, the 'Chaos Insurgency', obviously had a crucial impact on Tony's judgment.

Hearing Jack Simon's words, Tony immediately gave up his original intention of testing outside the Rikers Island prison, took a deep breath, and the expression in Mark 51 became solemn.

"Perhaps, you are right, Mr. Jack Simon, that now is not the time to hesitate at the gates of the prison."

"I'm just doing what a collaborator should do."

Biting the cigarette butt in his mouth, Jack Simon and Tony in Mark51 looked at each other: "In addition, as a person who is quite experienced in anomalies, I need to remind you that you must be vigilant when facing anomalies, not only for anomalies but also for everything around you, including your teammates." ”

Saying this, Jack Simon reached out and shook the cigarette ash, then raised his palm and manifested a half-human-high sword in the flicker of the [Yellow Light Ring] to cut through the iron door of the prison, and was the first to step into the Rikers Island prison.

Tony: They're getting a little too much time out of Rikers Island jail, and he needs to speed things up.

Seeing that Jack Simon entered first, Tony didn't have time to think about the meaning of the other party's words, and immediately controlled the Mark51 on his body and chased him in.

Immediately afterward, the vision slowly rose into the air, and the blue light in Ultron's eyes immediately entered the Rikers Island prison.

……

"It's ......"

Because of the previous encounters outside the Rikers Island prison, Tony raised his palm as soon as he entered the prison, the palm of the steel suit flickered, and he had the intention of firing if he didn't say a word.

However, inside the Rikers Island Jail.

In front of him, the scene presented by the entire prison was greatly beyond his imagination.

I saw that in the Rikers Island prison, a dense crowd gathered in an orderly manner, including prisoners in prison uniforms and prison guards in uniform.

It's just that these two completely opposite existences are standing quietly together in front of Tony's eyes at the moment. There was no riot caused by the criminals, and there was no repression by the prison guards.

It's as if they're good partners.

It's just that anyone who knows about the American prison knows that this is simply impossible.

This strange harmony only makes Tony feel even more eccentric.

"Jack Simon?"

His gaze lingered for a moment at the strange scene of the prisoner and the prison guard living together peacefully, and Tony quickly shifted his attention elsewhere, frowning as his gaze swept around without finding Jack Simon.

"Mr. Stark."

But then, the familiar voice of Vision from behind him made the uneasiness in his heart let go of it a little.

When I turned my head, I saw Vision and Ultron.

"It looks like the whole Rikers Island jail is here."

The arrival of the remaining two Avengers reassures Tony a little.

"They all look very weird."

Controlling his body to fall slowly, the vision swept over the crowd in front of him, the gem on his forehead flickered, and then he spoke.

"If it were normal, the whole scene wouldn't be as quiet as it is now."

Shrugging, Tony retracted his gaze.

"It seems that the anomaly of the Rikers Island prison is even more bizarre than it seems, what is he bringing so many people together in the prison for? You don't just want to see the prisoners and the guards live in peace, do you? ”

Looking at the very different scene in his eyes, Tony couldn't help but start thinking about the purpose of the anomaly.

Immediately afterward, he remembered that outside the Rikers Island prison before, Jack Simon had reminded him not to use common sense to figure out the abnormal.

It's just that the object who reminded him was also lost in the Rikers Island prison.

"Maybe we can get someone to ask."

Looking at the crowd gathered in front of him, Vision said in silence.

"That's all it can be."

Although Tony had been in contact with the containment of spells several times before because of the relationship between the SCP Foundation [Uncle Dragon], the anomaly in the Rikers Island prison in front of him was obviously very different from the previous containment of spells.

Especially after losing Jack Simon, an experiencer, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with the things in front of him for a while.

The situation in front of us is very different from the battles faced by the Avengers in the past.

In a situation where he didn't even know what kind of anomaly he was facing, even Tony didn't dare to act too rashly.

After all, Tony had heard many examples of SCP Foundation containment failures from Uncle Long.

Every failed ending is unusually tragic.

He didn't want to be one of many failures.

Receiving Tony's reply, Vision did not hesitate at all, his gaze swept over the dense crowd in front of him, and he quickly determined his goal.

Controlling his virtual body, Vision approached the figure in a corner from a position.

Grabbing the figure's arm, the soul gem on his forehead also began to flicker at the same time, ready for the other party to resist.

However, the whole process went surprisingly smoothly.

In the face of Vision's series of actions, the uniformed prison guards did not resist in the slightest, and remained motionless as if they were dolls.

"This situation?"

Noticing the strange and frenzied expression on the guard's face in his hand, Vision let go of his grip on the other's palm as he turned his head to sweep over the crowd around him.

He found that not only the prison guards, but also the people in the surrounding crowd, not the entire crowd in front of him, all had the same weird and fanatical faces on their faces.

This kind of discovery makes a vision that rarely has fluctuating emotions in the heart can't help but shudder.

The light of the Mind Gem on his forehead flickered, and through the power of the Mind Gem, Vision quickly understood the situation of everyone in his eyes.

"Mr. Stark, these people's minds are under intrusion control, just like the kind of intrusion I sensed outside the bars of Rikers Island Prison before."

Knowing the situation of everyone, an extreme uneasiness in Vision's heart began to swell out, and under the urging of uneasiness, Vision began to use the power of the Mind Gem to expand into the dense crowd in front of him, and began to perceive the thoughts in the minds of these people.

"I can feel that in the world of their will, there seems to be a mysterious force that is constantly guiding them to carry out a terrifying summoning ......."

On Vision's forehead, the light of the Mind Gem grew brighter and brighter, and his body began to shake.

Obviously, using the power of the Mind Gem to perceive everything is not without a price.

"Vision, stop, your body won't be able to bear it if you go down any longer."

Looking at the vision, whose expression had become painful, Tony had to open his mouth to stop him.

"No...... Mr. Stark...... You don't understand the danger behind this...... What they were doing was a terrible summoning...... It's not just these people, it's more than 10,000 people in the entire Rikers Island prison...... If it succeeds, then ......"

The Mind Gem continued to obtain information from the fragments of thought scattered by the crowd, but without further information, the expression on Vision's face was painful, and the fine cracks around the forehead gem began to appear on Vision's face, the strength of the Mind Gem caused a huge burden on his body, after all, this was the first time he had used the power of the Mind Gem to so many people.

It is clear that the illusion with the power of reality and reality, the body is harder than a diamond, but even such a hard body is still beginning to shatter under the power of the mind gem.

"Stop, Vision, it's an order!"

As he watched, Vision's condition was getting worse and worse, and Tony's tone became tougher and tougher.

“……”

With Tony's command, the original flickering Mind Gem light on Vision's forehead dimmed, and the whole person fell backwards as if in prostration.

Seeing that Vision was about to fall, Ultron pushed his body to hold him up.

"Thank you."

Falling on top of Ultron, Vision turned his head to thank the artificial intelligence, but the expression on his face was more solemn than ever, and he turned his head to look at the crowd and spoke.

"It's too late, Mr. Stark, the Ritual of the Summoning ......"

"It's already started."
