"It seems that I arrived at the right time this time."

Accompanied by the frozen voice of the 'Parallax Demon', a deep voice sounded slowly.

Riding a bicycle, [Kuzan] scratched his explosive head with a lazy expression, and slowly appeared in New York City.

"[Kuzan]!"

Compared to the lazy [Kuzan], Vision's heart is obviously more complicated, looking at the figure that appeared on the bicycle.

He hadn't forgotten that this seemingly lazy figure was a terrifying existence that almost caused the Avengers to be destroyed in Canada before.

"So, is the anomaly that is causing chaos in the whole of New York City the 'parallax demon' within the [SCP-246 Yellow Lantern Ring]?"

Riding his bike to the Parallax Demon's side, Kuzan turned his head to look at the frozen figure, raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"The loss of control of [SCP-246's Yellow Lantern Ring] is only one of the reasons."

The control stand-in slowly dispersed the tornado wrapped around his body, and [Dominic Butch] fell to [Kuzan], and said calmly: "The main reason is that the spatial rift that appeared in the sky above the Rikers Island prison and is constantly expanding, judging from the SCP Foundation's investigation of this space-time rift, this mysterious space-time rift is obviously connected to another dimension unknown to the Foundation, and the continuous erosion of the power from the crack is also the source of the chaos in the whole of New York." ”

"'Nightmare Dimension'."

At the same time that [Dominic Butch] made a report to [Kuzan], Vision controlled his body and quickly fell.

Although, what happened in Canada led to a rupture in the relationship between the Avengers and the SCP Foundation.

However, this is clearly not the time to think about this.

Vision is clear that Bill Seifer is not a simple existence that the Avengers alone can defeat.

"All of this comes from the Rikers Island Prison's summoning ritual to the other dimension, which successfully summoned the creature [Bill Seifer] from the 'Nightmare Dimension'."

"[Bill Sever]?"

Hearing all of this that Vision said, the long-lazy expression on [Kuzan's] face seemed to change a little.

Click, click-

However, before he could ask for the information behind in detail.

On the side, the 'Parallax Demon' was frozen in ice, and the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in his hand began to emit a dazzling yellow light.

The thorny plants of the lamp ring continued to grow inside the ice cubes, eventually causing cracks to spread inside the ice cubes on the 'Parallax Demon', breaking free from the control of the [Frozen Time Capsule].

Stepping on the broken ice all over the ground, the Parallax Demon had a pale expression and his body kept shaking.

The 'Parallax Demon' form combined with Ultron certainly gives the 'Parallax Monster' a more powerful power to spread and absorb fear, but this body has also become one of the weaknesses of the 'Parallax Demon', because it is no longer a creature with fear and emotional energy, the 'Parallax Demon' can easily be affected by the freezing power of [Kuzan], and even he trembles after being frozen for a long time.

Stretching out his trembling fingers, he controlled the [Yellow Lantern Ring] on his hand to emit yellow translucent energy to wrap his body, and under the power of the Lantern Ring, the cold body of the 'Parallax Demon' gradually warmed up, and the unstoppable tremor began to calm down.

Although he regained his frozen body functions, the expression on the face of the 'Parallax Demon' did not show the slightest joy.

The [Yellow Lantern Ring] in its hand flickered with an intense light that it had never seen before under the control of the 'Parallax Demon', absorbing the fear that permeated the entire New York City and transforming it into a steady stream of energy pouring into the Lantern Ring, and using this energy to manifest one after another 'Parallax Monsters' all over the streets.

These 'parallax monsters' writhed their knotted bodies and hissed at Kuzan and the others.

"Sure enough, isn't it that easy to solve, SCP-246."

Turning his head to sweep over the dense 'parallax monsters' around him, there was not the slightest fear on [Kuzan's] face.

"I'm not SCP-246, I'm called 'Parallax Demon'!"

Kuzan's simple use of the title of "containment" obviously angered the 'Parallax Demon', and the expression on his face became hideous for a moment.

Feeling the inner emotions of the 'Parallax Demon', the 'Parallax Monster' embodied by the [Yellow Lantern Ring] in its hand also made restless sounds.

"It doesn't matter if you're a 'parallax demon' or SCP-246, as long as it's an anomaly, you should be contained."

He opened his mouth slightly, and spat out a breath of cold air from his mouth, which quickly condensed into an ice blade.

Kuzan reached out and grabbed the skate blade and turned his wrist, aiming at the surrounding 'parallax monsters', and said in a lazy but firm tone.

"Then, it's time to make a decision next, after all, judging from the current situation, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do."

……

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with that?"

Rikers Island Prison, outside of the 'mirror space' created by the old one.

Karl Mordo's gaze swept over the complex magical alien space in front of him, and he turned his head to look at the king on the side and asked with a frown.

"Pin your hopes on a guy who hasn't been learning magic for long."

Stephen Strange's every move naturally couldn't escape Carl Mordo's eyes.

Even, if it weren't for the king's deliberate connivance, Stephen would not have left their side so easily.

"Don't forget, it was he who saved us from Bill Sever's hands in the first place in Kama Taj, and the time magic of the Eye of Agamotto is complex, and Stephen Strange mastered the magic of using the power of the Eye of Gomoto in just that short period of time."

In the face of Karl Mordo's questioning, Wang replied calmly.

"What's more, in the current situation, we have no other way, rather than this, it is better to let Stephen Strange out, maybe it can bring a little bit of a turnaround."

Of course, in addition to the reason that he told Karl Mordo, there was another reason in the king's mind.

That is, the Ancient One.

"I don't think Stephen Strange can bring any so-called turnaround, even the entire Kama Taj, the top magic master on earth, what kind of change can a magic apprentice make. Instead of putting your hopes on the doctor who became a monk halfway, it is better to trust the Supreme Mage and find a way to seal the other-dimensional creatures in the 'mirror space'. ”

Carl Mordo said this, not because he was prejudiced against Stephen Strange.

It's just not that there's hope for Stephen.

"If that's the case, it's the best outcome."

Due to the advice of the Ancient One, the king did not reveal to Carl Mordo the arrangement of the Ancient One's choice of Stephen Strange.

He just looked at the looming 'mirror space' in the prison and said silently.

"Huh?"

However, at this very moment.

Sensing an unusual spatial fluctuation coming from inside the prison, Karl Mordo and Wang almost invariably stopped what he was saying.

Under the gaze of the two men, a large metal zipper appeared on the wall of the prison.

With the smooth swipe of the zipper, a man in a white spotted suit with a bob unraveled the chain and stepped out of the zipper opening.

"Who are you?!"

Looking at the man who came out of the huge zipper, Karl Mordo raised his hands to create a magic array, and asked with a frown.

Such a strange way of appearing is quite rare even for Carl Mordo as a magician.

"SCP Foundation Second Tactical Unit Vice-Captain [Bruno Bugarati]."

His eyes swept over the two magicians in front of him, Carl Mordo and Wang, who were like great enemies, and [Bruno Bugarati] twisted his shoulder, and the stand-in [Steel Chain Finger] also appeared behind him with the self-introduction of the clone.

"Soul?"

"No, it's not, if the soul was out of the body, the body wouldn't be able to move as freely as it does now."

The appearance of the stand-in [Steel Chain Finger] undoubtedly succeeded in attracting the attention of Carl Mordo and Wang.

Looking at the strange humanoid creature behind [Bruno Bugarati], Karl Mordo and King glanced at each other, and they both noticed a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

A stand-in is a condensation of psychic power, although theoretically only a stand-in messenger can see it.

Ultimately, however, there are exceptions.

Especially for magicians who have strong spiritual power and have mastered out-of-body souls, they can see out-of-body souls, and naturally they can also see soul-like stand-ins.

And, in a way, seeing the [Finger of Chain] shocked Carl Mordo and Wang even more.

After a quick eye contact, Karl Mordo and Wang looked at [Bruno Bugarati] and the stand-in behind him with serious expressions.

"Is it someone who can see the stand-in again?"

Similarly, noticing the direction of the two of them's eyes, [Bruno Bugarati] also frowned in cooperation.

"When did it start that doubles became so easy to see?"

"Stand-in, that's the name of the magic being cast?"

Hearing [Bruno Bugarati's] words that were not light or serious, he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Magic?"

Shaking his head slightly, [Bruno Bugarati] looked at the wary magicians and corrected with a cold expression: "[Steel Chain Finger] is not magic, but a more magical power. ”

"You think so because you don't have a deep understanding of the power of magic."

Hearing [Bruno Bugarati] evaluation of magic, Carl Mordo couldn't help frowning and retorted.

Although the so-called stand-in ability of [Bruno Bugarati] is wonderful, Karl Mordo does not think that this ability can be compared to the magic he masters.

"I'm not here to argue with you about the strength of stand-ins or magic."

In the face of Carl Mordo's aggressive attitude, [Bruno Bugalati] replied calmly.

His gaze moved to the huge space-time rift above the prison, and he said word by word: "Next, the SCP Foundation will take over the anomalous ...... of the Rikers Island prison"

Slowly turning his gaze from the rift in time and space to Karl Mordu and King in front of him, [Bruno Bugarati] continued: "So, please leave the prison and go to a safer place. ”

"Impossible."

As soon as Bruno Bugarati's words fell, Carl Mordo refused without hesitation.

Because of the ancient 'mirror space', it is impossible for the two of them to give up the Rikers Island prison and hand it over to the so-called SCP Foundation in the mouth of [Bruno Bugarati].

"It seems that the goals of us and the SCP Foundation behind you are not in conflict, they are both for the sake of the rift in time and space, and maybe we can work together with each other."

However, compared to Karl Mordo, who directly opened his mouth and categorically refused.

Wang obviously thought more comprehensively, he looked at [Bruno Bugarati] in front of him, his eyes swept over the existence behind it, called a stand-in, and couldn't help but propose.

In fact, this is also what Kama Taj and the Avengers have come up with.

It's just that Wang's obviously well-intentioned suggestion was unexpectedly rejected by [Bruno Bugarati], which was even more neat than Karl Mordo's opposition.

"The containment of anomalies is the responsibility and obligation of the SCP Foundation, and we will never entrust this kind of thing to others, but whether it is done with good intentions or bad intentions."

"I really don't think about it."

[Bruno Bugarati]'s firm attitude can be said to be completely unexpected by the king.

He looked at [Bruno Bugarati] with a calm face in front of him, and said with puzzlement.

"We are not enemies."

"It's up to you to decide next."

In this regard, [Bruno Bugalati] was quite indifferent.

"The containment of anomalies is very dangerous, especially the one that appears over the Rikers Island prison, and the SCP Foundation must ensure that the entire containment process is free from any other adverse factors, and that all dangers are minimized."

"We can help ......"

"No more wasted effort, King."

Seeing that the king had not given up his persuasion of [Bruno Bugarati], Karl Mordo, who was on the side, had already interrupted him with a frown.

From the series of reactions of [Bruno Bugalati], he has seen it very clearly.

Looking up at [Bruno Bugarati] with a silent expression in front of him, Carl Mordo said slowly.

"Don't you see that the other party doesn't trust us at all, and the so-called disadvantage in his mouth refers to the two of us, am I right?"

"The SCP Foundation will not allow anomalies to fall into the hands of any civilian or hostile organization."

In the face of Carl Mordo's words, [Bruno Bugarati] replied calmly.
