The death of the people inside the barrier one after another undoubtedly put a huge pressure on the other personnel who were in place outside.

What is terrible is not a predetermined fact, but a horror that lurks in the unknown.

Sometimes, however...... What is even more terrifying is to open a corner of the unknown, and then witness something incomprehensible.

For example, all Diane could see now was that there were holes in the people's bodies, directly through their abdomen, and the vital activity detection equipment had lost the signal.

But Li Zhi can see clearly with the help of the magnification mirror and the third eye, those people are both in a state of death and a state of life.

Not near-death, but another indescribable sense of overlap.

Like Schrödinger's cat, but without a box that blocks the possibilities.

The two possibilities overlap completely.

However, there are some minor differences, most of which are...... In this world, they are alive, but in another place that no mortal can observe, they are either dead or have been battered enough to cause them to fall unconscious.

In this incomprehensible state, their time seemed to stop at the moment when their chest was pierced, the blood did not flow, and the functions of their bodies were interrupted.

This can be defined as "death" for an instrument that detects signs of life.

In another world, a dark shadow travels between the lying people, extracting some "matter" from the people lying on the ground, which is then molded into miniature versions of these people.

These things, which we don't know whether to call them figurines or specimens, were wrapped in black shadows the moment they took shape - perhaps they were received by another space, or they were eaten by it, we have no way of knowing.

When this group of people was patronized, the dark shadow floated onto the statue and coincided with it.

Subsequently, facial features appeared on the statue...... It was at the mercy of the faces of the people lying on the ground, but when the statue used their faces, their features eerily vanished.

The stone statue showed a mocking smile, grinning at Diane and the others outside the barrier, and then showed a painful face, and in an instant, he stretched his brows, as if he had finally ushered in the relief of torture.

There was a pleasant sound from its base, a beautiful piece of music that reached deep into the soul, and there was no other instrument in the world that sounded like it.

The whole piece composed of a few syllables is simple and elegant, but the timbre is enough to make all musicians crazy...... Even the average person who hears this tune can't help but pander to the beat.

The D-class who fell to the ground in the park blushed like an orgasm, except for those with holes in their bodies, as if cut off from the outside world.

With the transmission of sound waves, the barrier is also expanding, but the speed is not comparable to the past, and that speed makes Li Zhi feel suppressed three thousand meters away.

[I think it's much more refreshing for the SCP Foundation to roll up the dice.] 】

The god of dice took a dice and said, "Because in Cthulhu, I don't know how much effort it takes to kill a few people. 】

[But in SCP, a single failed die can kill a whole bunch.] 】

9.

This is undoubtedly a ...... Extremely successful figures.

Li Zhi also saw the numbers on the surface of the dice in his sea of consciousness.

"Great!" Whistling, he wanted to see what the god of dice was going to do.

After a short silence, the shamelessness of the dice god was beyond Li Zhi's imagination.

He could perceive that the dice in his sea of consciousness were plucked by a "gust of wind", and then one of the turns of the dice became 51.

【…… And so we see the result of a failed confrontation of wills. With the help of that "wind", the script of the god of dice can continue.

The people in the park stood up like puppets to the rhythm of the music and walked mechanically towards the statue step by step.

The look in the eyes of those people was incomprehensible, as if they were dead.

The person closest to the statue was also the first to taste the "forbidden fruit".

Venom dripped from the mouth of the viper's teeth in the statue's hand and dripped into the fountain under the base.

The visitor unconsciously took the water and drank it in one gulp.

What happened next was enough to make all humans who were looking directly at the change go through a -1d3/-1d10 san check.

His skin was like the fine sand of the desert, falling off in powder, and all his hair became a disgusting strip worm when it fell out—whatever color his hair had been before, it had become a part of the puddle of filth.

Diane had already arranged for someone to take the flamethrower to encircle the enchantment in this large-scale mental out-of-control.

They didn't stay out in vain.

Long before this accident occurred, a large number of people felt that "breaking out is much easier than containing the anomaly." ”

However, the truth is ...... Even if they tried their best, they couldn't break through the finished protective clothing.

The hazmat suit refined by SCP-███ is a shotgun that effortlessly ignores distant shots.

And the super-finished flamethrower is even more terrifying.

Not only did the area and distance of the flames wider, but the flames it spit out turned from blue to purple, and it was almost impossible to see where it burned with the naked eye.

The best embodiment of actual combat is the group of former criminals with well-developed limbs, simple minds, and a few guns that they think they are invincible.

When the flames touch them, it may be said that the flames have not yet touched them, but the radiated temperature directly turns them into scorched earth, and then drifts away in the form of dust under the action of gravity or wind.

However, even with such a powerful weapon in his hand, Diane still didn't dare to direct his team members to rush into the barrier.

They can only keep expanding their defenses as the barrier closes—until they are stretched to the point where they can't defend completely.

So Diane immediately gave the order to assemble and retreat to a distance of three thousand meters.

The priority is now not the target of containment.

Instead, he reported everything that happened in less than an hour to the headquarters.

The headquarters of the SCP Foundation is in a state of trouble over something else.

It has to do with an SCP that is absolutely immovable...... It's all because some Harmonic cultist who wants to find SCP-████ has infiltrated as an agent.

As for Diane's request for support...... I didn't know what priority I had thrown for a long time.

After investigating, the SCP Foundation people finally figured it out......

This person was there to infiltrate the Foundation and worship SCP-████, but probably because of this group of cultists...... Or just this one, his ability and IQ almost shocked the censors at headquarters.

How he infiltrated the highest containment unit and why he was caught is nothing short of a change in IQ from heaven to hell.

Due to his ability to infiltrate the containment unit, the Foundation has decided to classify him as a new unknown anomaly.

However, this is a secondary priority.

The primary task at this time is to check if the string of characters from SCP-███ has been sent.

As for the new SCP's request that he be locked up in the same unit as SCP-████ was granted, albeit only temporarily, even though SCP-████ was frantically objecting.
