Chapter Sixty-Seven: Survivor Camp
Gradually, the tremor of the ground mask disappeared, as if resigned to fate, the cracks all over the surface slowly disappeared, emitting a black light, and 9425 slowly put down the gun.
"Digitization is successful...... The system database has been replenished and is being upgraded...... Upgrade time: 1 natural hour.
Designation: SCP2-218 Mask of Sin
Quality: Normal + (upgradable)
Danger level: High
Foundation Affiliation: Exploring
Synopsis: This is a mask that has been dropped from an unknown world, and the person or other species who wear it will gain strange abilities, but for some reason it has been destroyed, and only a little instinct remains.
Note: Once this mask is worn, the attribute value will be comprehensively improved, and the specific situation depends on the determination of will, and every 1 natural day will automatically absorb the surrounding emotions, deriving the ability of the second day.
Containment is to be placed in ice and the mask is frozen, otherwise it will cause potential madness in the surrounding creatures. ”
After reading the attribute introduction, Xiao Yi took off the mask and found that a mark of "sin" appeared on it, and there was no special change in the whole mask.
The personality in his mind suddenly felt that he could control his body, looked at the mask in his hand, then at 9425 and 9424, and said, "How do I need to carry this mask?"
"When not in use, it can be contained in the car, as the mask triggers a potential madness in the carrier, and the longer it is carried, the higher the likelihood of triggering. How do you feel? 9424 said uncertainly.
"It's okay." After speaking, Xiao Yi took the mask into his arms and actually put it in the system warehouse, where the containment conditions did not exist, the warehouse of the system boss could suppress everything. After thinking for a while, he said, "What happened to the previous masters of the Mask Land?"
"Crazy...... They all went mad and turned into inhuman beasts. A few of them withstood the test of the mask and went crazy at night. Masks seem to evoke inner madness in humans. 9425 replied.
When Xiao Yi heard this, he also knew what was going on, if it wasn't for the appearance of a crazy personality at that time, then a high will would definitely fall into a state of madness temporarily.
With a Sensibility of up to 99 and a Willpower of 92, if it weren't for a fixed sanity such as a fanatic or a horse with a high sanity value such as an archmage, it would definitely fall into madness.
The speed of the car slowly decreased, Xiao Yi also stopped asking again, and a modern village appeared in front of him, with sparse houses, a ring of protective nets around the periphery, and patrolmen in gray clothes inside.
The people inside looked at the truck with the SCP mark printed on it, and ran directly into the camp to inform it, and after a while, a man in a black combat uniform came to the protective net and said, "Foundation...... You arrived 1 day late at the agreed time. ”
9424 took out three metal suitcases from a box, Xiao Yi and 9425 each other, and stepped out of the truck.
"Something happened on the way, how is the containment going?" 9424 tracts.
Xiao Yi saw the person in the survivor camp for the first time, the man in the black combat uniform who spoke, middle-aged, with knife marks on his face, his eyes kept looking at the people on his side when he spoke, and his skills should not be bad.
"It's okay, there's no proliferation...... Let's talk about the specific situation as we go. I am the owner of the camp, Xia Wu. The middle-aged man said and opened the protective net and glanced at Xiao Yi a few more times.
"9424, 9425, as for this one, it's sent from above, code 0106......" 9425 said.
"Code 0, it seems that you also feel that this containment object is not simple, but I still have to talk about the basic situation." Xia Wu looked at Xiao Yi again, as if he wanted to see what was different about the investigator codenamed 0.
Xiao Yi saw that there were not many people in the camp, but the green vegetation saw a few plants, but the growth was not good, and the leaves were a little yellow.
"There was nothing unusual about the house at first, except that a passerby noticed a sketch that had been killed by a non-human species while resting at night." Xia Wudao.
"Did you see what species it was?" Xiao Yi asked.
"No, because the other party is moving in the early hours of the morning...... In addition, there are not many defensive patrols in the camp, and as long as you pass by that wooden house, you will have illusions, sometimes you can come out, sometimes you can disappear in place. Xia Wu groaned.
"What's that sketch?" 9424 asked.
"The person who came out said that it was a 40 cm × 60 cm painting, and everyone saw a different scene on it." Xia Wu said and stopped.
Xiao Yi saw a dilapidated wooden house not far ahead, the door was ajar, and it looked no different from an ordinary abandoned wooden house.
"It's the house, and when you get close, you will hallucinate, or auditory hallucinations, and it will vary from person to person." Xia Wudao.
9425 looked at the house in front of him and said, "Let's go"
Xia Wu watched the three of them slowly walk towards the house, with a worried expression on his face.
When Xiao Yi just walked within 10 meters of the house, an inexplicable call appeared in his ears, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
"What did you hear?" Xiao Yi said.
"The sound of the train...... There was also some noise. "9425 Dao.
"How is that possible? What I heard was the sound of reading on campus......" 9424 retorted faintly.
"Why doesn't KP make a will determination?" Xiao Yi asked as he approached the house.
"Why do you want to make a judgment, this is not a Cthulhu running group, if you consume the modifier, you can make a relevant judgment, 1 point of correction 1 time." KP impermanence.
"Damn, the containment object is also a product of the Cthulhu Mythos, why can't it be determined for free......" Xiao Yi retorted.
"You're right, but that's how the system boss informed me, and if the relevant judgment is made, the correction value must be charged." KP Impermanence said with a smile.
"For 1 modifier, I'm going to do a will judgment and get out of the auditory hallucination." Xiao Yidao.
"Will Verdict: 82/80 Failed
Lucky Decision: 60/62 Normal Success
Although you are not free from the state of auditory hallucinations, you have discovered the original source of auditory hallucinations from the many complex sounds. KP impermanence laughed louder.
Xiao Yi looked confused, that is to say, his correction value was in vain, and the auditory hallucinations did not disappear.
"What is the situation of KP's lucky decision?" Xiao Yi suddenly thought that there seemed to be two kinds of judgments just now.
"In some special cases, there will be two judgments, and only one judgment will be charged, such as the case just now, because everyone may hear the phantom sound from the source, but the probability is different, then you need to make a lucky judgment." KP impermanence.
As Xiao Yi approached the house, the phantom sound in his ears suddenly changed, and a slow and steady digging sound appeared.
"Do you hear the sound of metal shovels digging through the dirt?" Xiao Yi said.
"No...... Maybe each of us hears it differently. "9425 Dao.
"Stand back...... Retreat to the point where you just heard the phantom. 9424 suddenly listened to the footsteps.
The three of them instantly retreated as fast as they could, and sure enough, the sensation of auditory hallucinations gradually decreased, and finally disappeared directly.
"It is now certain that the range of auditory hallucinations is within 100 meters of the center of the house, and that there is no danger if you leave." 9425 said as he took out a notepad from his pocket and wrote.
9424 pulls out a doll from the metal suitcase, and as he blows, the doll gradually grows larger, and finally resembles a normal person.
"A derivative of SCP2-765, a doll doll, can become normal if blown and can be in existence for 3 minutes." 9425 said.
I saw the puppet, walking towards the house step by step, and as the distance became farther and farther, Xiao Yi and the three had to follow behind.
When the puppet was 15 meters close to the wooden house, it suddenly stopped, its steps were exaggerated and a little unsteady, like some drunken people, and suddenly lay on the ground slowly under the eyes of the three people, snoring.
Something strange happened, and it was clear that there were still 30 seconds left before the time came, and the puppet lying on the ground gradually disappeared, as if it was like eraser eraser.
