Chapter XXIV

Charles was surprised to see the white mouse complimenting me. "Can you operate the deck gun?"

He originally thought it was a turret operated by Chief Engineer James, but it turned out to be Lily the Mouse.

"I did it with my friends. Well, aren't we amazing. Lily squeaked twice, and a large swarm of brown rats poured onto Charles's bed.

Looking at the bed full of mice, Charles felt very relieved. "Let them all go down, you go back alone, why do you bring all these rats. ”

"I promised them that I would invite them to my house and eat the sweet fish soup made by my mother, and I would not go back on what I promised. Lily was in a good mood.

Charles comforted Lily and looked at the second mate Knona next to him.

The red-haired young man seemed to know what Charles was asking, and said, "Don't worry, Captain, they have all compared, no one is more and no one is less." ”

"That's good, that's good......"

When the danger was lifted, a strong sense of sleepiness enveloped him, and the wounds on his body and the force of the wild running made Charles's body warn.

"Don't let your guard down and get back to safety as soon as possible. Let's all go out, I'm a little tired. ”

Before anyone else could walk out of the room, Charles's eyelids closed and he didn't know anything.

By the time he woke up, he didn't know how much time had passed.

"It's time to buy a pocket watch. ”

Charles, who was refreshed, did not get out of bed, and put a long-lost smile on his face leaning on the pillow.

He had been worried about one thing before, whether he was no longer on the earth, even if he ran to the surface, he would not be able to go back.

But the words of Flesh and Blood Gate 1068 confirm one thing, there is a sun in the outside world, and if there is a sun, it must be the earth, and there is a high probability that his home is still there.

Charles was about to get out of bed when he saw the relics he had taken out of the third laboratory piled up on top of the cabinet.

Seeing these things, Charles's heart moved slightly.

Although everything in that place was done by himself, Char at this time felt unusually unfamiliar with himself.

At that time, he thought of so many relics in his mind, and his heart was like a cat scratching. Subconsciously stealing, completely unaware of how dangerous this act is.

But looking at those relics, Charles was glad that he was lucky enough to grab so many relics with only one injury, and the deal was undoubtedly worth it.

Charles began to take a closer look at the few things he had snatched.

A rusty knife covered in rust.

A quill the thickness of a forearm.

A pyramid-shaped amethyst.

Coupled with the ring made of silver-white tentacles on his hand, there are four kinds of relics.

Everything looked extraordinary, but Charles didn't dare to try it easily, because some of the previous notebooks were lost during the fight with the locusts, and some of them were soaked in the sea when he jumped into the sea.

Now there are only two relics left in the information book, one of which is the ring on his hand.

Item number: 168

"Item Name: Tentacle Ring"

"Description: 168 is a ring made of 925 silver, with the appearance of three octopus-like tentacles curved, discovered by Dr. Tina during his vacation at the [DATA EXPUNGED] jewelry store in New Territories City. ”

"Addendum 1: Due to Dr. Tina's detection of the anomaly and the immediate submission of it, the Foundation has decided to direct containment of SCP-168, and a description of the object's anomaly is to be recorded in Appendix 2. ”

"Addendum 2:

"Dr. Tina, can you tell me how you found 168?"

"My husband took me to pick out a wedding ring, which I took with me the first time I saw it, only to come back to my apartment and realize that something was wrong. I'm starting to have some kind of special ability. ”

"What kind of special abilities?"

"Uh...... My hand can be turned into three tentacles that no one else can see, and the feeling is very strange, as if the tentacles themselves grow on my hands, which is natural. ”

"I know what you're going to ask next, the grip of the tentacles is very strong, about the strength of two adult males, and the elasticity is also very strong, it can reach 5 meters when fully straightened, if it is negative, this ring will tempt humans to subconsciously wear it, and it will get tighter and tighter, and you must take it off from time to time to relax. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"yes, it's that simple, it's a very simple little thing, if only other projects were as peaceful as this thing, Sophie, the 1068 I'm in charge of is okay, as long as the food is enough, it won't cause trouble, but 641 is a real headache. ”

"Oh, Tina, I've heard of that thing, it's really hard to deal with, if it fails, the entire island of humans will have to be assimilated by it, but when it comes to harmfulness, it's not as good as the 134 I'm responsible forβ€”β€”"

"Ahem, two ladies, it's working time, let's chat after work, please pay attention to the occasion. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

At 10:41 p.m., the interview ended.

"Turning into tentacles?" Charles raised his hand after thinking about it, and something magical happened, he could feel his fingers rapidly getting longer and thicker, but to the naked eye, the hand was still a hand, and it hadn't changed at all.

Suddenly, the drawer on the table in the distance opened, and a bottle of wine floated out of it and suspended in mid-air, and the scene looked very strange.

Charles began experimenting with the new artifact in his room. All sorts of small objects flipped up and down in the air.

After getting acquainted with this relic, Charles kept it for his own use, if it is said that in terms of frontal attack, not to mention that the clown mask is not even comparable to the black knife, but as long as this kind of thing is used well, it can be used unexpectedly.

What made Charles even more tempted was that this little thing had the least side effects of any relic he had ever seen.

Touching the ring with his hand, Charles looked at another piece of paper, which was a record of the purple pyramid.

"Item number: 434"

"Project Name: Purple Pyramid"

"Description: 434 is a crystal pyramid 10 centimeters long, 10 centimeters high and 10 centimeters wide, which was reported to the Foundation by the Shadow Island Police Department due to the riots it caused. ”

Test 1: "Have Subject 13 hold SCP-434 and command him to recite it twice in his mind" I'm powerful. ”

"Results: The subject's body was mutated, the physical ratio increased, and the height reached 2.5 meters, but the ability to narrate was significantly weakened, and the intelligence was reduced to 80 after testing. ”

Test 2: "Have Subject 13 hold SCP-434 and command it to be recited three times in mind" I'm powerful. ”

"Results: Subject's height increased by three meters, and intelligence decreased to 60. ”

Test 3: "Have Subject 13 hold 434 and command him to recite it in his mind four times" I am powerful. ”

"Results: Height increased to 4 meters, intelligence decreased to 40, the subject was forced to terminate due to low intelligence to understand instructions, and the subject returned to normal after 30 minutes away from SCP-434. ”
