Chapter Eighty-Nine: SCP's First Attempt
{I don't know how old I am.} }
{At that time, I traveled with the elders of my family to a distant town, a town whose name I still don't know.} }
{It was like a dream I had, but I remember that when I used to talk to my grandparents about it, they would respond to me half-truthfully.} }
{Maybe last time you said you remember that place, next time you say "no, you remember it wrong"}
{But I must have been there.} }
{A square when I got lost alone.} }
In a square, when Li Zhi fell from the sky, another dice fell with it.
Next to my ear are the words from the original owner's diary.
Before he could go through the diary, he was invited to a new copy by the god of dice.
The floor is covered with bricks that reflect the luster of porcelain.
He didn't feel any pain when he fell on it.
The next second he was floating.
Looking at his condition, it is obvious that he is fluttering now.
As a ghost, Li Zhi quickly glanced around.
It was supposed to be around noon, from about ten o'clock to one o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun hung in the sky, and the spilled light turned eerily in one direction as he squinted, as if there was an invisible mirror shrouded in this square.
In the center of the square is a fountain pool.
The edge of the pool is covered with a layer of vegetation, and outside the vegetation is a bench for visitors to rest.
On the bench sat an old man with a serene face, holding a bag in his hand, and with the other hand he took out some powdery objects from the bag and sprinkled them around.
And just as he began to swing, a flock of pigeons fell from the sky and gathered around him to eat.
The main road of the park can be referred to by a cross, and the place where Li Zhi fell happened to be one of the main roads.
Stand up from this position, and directly in front of you is the statue of the pool.
The statue was facing him, a humanoid statue, holding a mask in its hand and a snake held high in the other, while its gaze was directly facing Li Zhi.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, the statue's face is blank.
Li Zhi bent down and picked up the dice on the ground and the panicked Xiu Ji, and then saw the numbers on the dice.
25.
This one...... It should be okay, right?
[I ask you a question.] γ
The god of dice can't wait to send him a voice after he is settled. γ
"Expansion?" Li Zhi continued to put the cultivation in his hand, "What expansion? β
[It's the expansion rules, materials, and the like.] The god of dice replied very generally.
And this obviously vague answer alerted the player: "Forget it! I want to play raw. β
[......] What should I do if my protagonist disagrees with me? [It's okay, I'll tell you.] γ
"Hey!" Before its voice fell, there was already a sound of stopping from Li Zhi's side, but it was obviously too late.
The space shook visibly.
Then a person in a white coat appeared on the main road where Li Zhi was.
He stood at the bottom of the statue and recorded something with pen and paper, until Li Zhi approached, and this person did not feel the slightest sense of Li Zhi's approach.
"Can't they see me?" Li Zhi asked the god of dice who pretended to be absent.
[As long as you are not possessed by the original owner, or as long as you don't want others to see it, you are just pulling * on the road and no one cares about you. γ
A word was blocked, but as a layman, Li Zhi still knew what it wanted to say.
So he went around to the man and looked through the notes in his hand because he couldn't see him.
γNot registeredγ
There are three lines on the cover, and there is a long-looking number in addition to the unregistered [Item No: SCP-3137]
Finally, a smaller line of text [This document is awarded to Class A Field Agent: Mr. A.G.]
Other than that, the original cover was left with an unpretentious-looking icon.
This icon consists of a pipe and three arrows pointing directly to the center point of the circle in the center of the pipe.
Turning the first page, the text on the second page is vague about some general information while revealing some general information.
Object Class.
This column seems to have been altered many times, but fortunately it is only a simple smear made with a few slashes, otherwise Li Zhi would not be able to recognize what those words are.
From the first to the last, they are: Euclid, Neutralized, and the last Keter.
"Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-3137 are to be contained in the room where SCP-βββ is to be contained, and a statue is to be placed no higher than the thickness of the walls of the containment chamber.
Researchers are to check for visual and auditory hallucinations prior to entry, and are to conduct cognitive examination of objects in the containment chamber for at least fifteen minutes after entry.
In order to ensure effective containment of SCP-3137 instances, field personnel are to promptly contact local Foundation authorities upon discovery of SCP-3137 and attempt containment with the assistance of SCP-βββ.
In the event that SCP-3137 is found in a public place, or if there are unrelated persons within visual distance of the surrounding area, standard information masking protocols are to be followed, and the use of Class-A amnestics is to be authorized. β
This is followed by a description of SCP-3137, which contains a large number of altered marks, most of the previous observations and inferences have been altered, and the unaltered portion is several pages later.
"SCP-3137 has been confirmed to have lost its anomalous effects, and a change of classification to Neutralized has been requested."
As of this line, the following text is far from the previous time record.
"SCP-3137 has been reclassified to Keter, and the project is scheduled to be restarted."
ββ¦β¦ SCP-3137 has been confirmed to exist as an individual and is unique. β
"Research has shown that SCP-3137 does not possess physical levels of threatening behavior, and multiple tests have shown that SCP-3137 uses cognitive reversal as a means of attack on a mental level."
Addendum 3137-17 ββ/ββ/20ββ.
"Researcher βββ: What are you seeing now?
Experimenter: What? β¦β¦ Oh! I saw a bowl of pasta? Is all I going to do is eat it?
Researcher βββ: Yes, you can eat it.
After the experimenter finished eating the bowl of earthworms.
Researcher βββ: What do you think of it now?
Subject: Wow! This is the greatest black pepper pasta I've ever had!
Results: [REDACTED] - See SCP-3137-V documentation. β
β¦β¦
"Warning: SCP-3137 may have a physical level of annihilation! The latest information has been uploaded to the archive with the code: ββββββββββ"
Li Zhi directly flipped the booklet to the end.
"Note: Statues parasitized by SCP-3137 typically have four conditions."
"In the first case, the statue lifts the snake above its head, and it has been confirmed in several experiments that in the first case, within a spherical radius of the height of the statue, any living being can be 'spiritually uplifted' and healed."
"In the second case: the statue raises the mask above its head, which has been confirmed in several experiments, and in the second case, all cognitively capable creatures are cognitively disturbed within a spherical radius of the height of the statue."
"The third case: the facial features of the statue appear, the third case is compatible with the first and second cases, and the actual effect is not yet clear."
"The fourth case: the limbs of the statue disappear, the facial expression appears, the actual effect is not clear (deleted), extremely dangerous!"
The text that follows is the containment log of the SCP.
According to most written records, this thing is really not a worry-free thing, and it regularly breaches containment until the experimenters discover that this SCP has a sedative effect when it is combined with another smeared SCP.
As for the person who is holding this book now...... A few lines are written below the 77th Containment Log:
"In the first case, I feel good, I didn't sleep well in the morning, but now I feel more energetic, and there is only one irrelevant person on the scene, try to expel it."
