According to O5-9, if it's a threat, especially if it's an existing threat to the SCP Fund, it should be destroyed!

"But whether these 'fish that slipped through the net' will lead to the leakage of intelligence from the Zhì Foundation because of the rude actions you mentioned, this is what I'm worried about."

It is for this reason that the O5 is very cautious about SCP-xxx41.

"I think this proposal is still feasible, SCP-140 may still be in the hands of the Chaos Insurgency, and if it continues, the situation may be more troublesome......"

O5-4 gave his opinion.

"The Chaos Insurgency, SCP-140, and SCP-xxx41 are a combination of factors, which makes it difficult to solve, but as long as we can get to the core, we can sort everything out like pulling a thread......"

"For example?"

"Well, let's just say that...... Since the target of SCP-xxx41 is SCP-140, then the problem is simple, why not let SCP-xxx41 solve SCP-140 for us......"

"What?"

Isn't this—Isn't that a violation of the SCP Foundation's philosophy?

"SCP-xxx41 values SCP-140 more than the Foundation, and while I don't believe what they say, it's a place to use for us......"

Dangerous "signs" should indeed be eliminated, but there are situations that need to be used flexibly, and since SCP-xxx41 is considered an SCP object, then this double-edged sword should be used more effectively!

………………

In the middle of the night, at three o'clock in the morning.

As usual, Dr. Kondraki sat in his office, yawning as he flipped through the materials.

Level 4 personnel like him. As a supervisor in charge of multiple site facilities, there is a lot of work management, such as coordinating research projects and judging the anomalous activity of SCP individuals or phenomena under management......

"Excuse me, I can ask O5 for SCP-038 to add a few clones to me, or I'll give SCP-262 to me......"

Unfortunately, he also knew that it was just a fantasy. SCP-038 has been banned due to the actions of some stupid employees. As for SCP-262, while the coat was pretty good, with a few hands to help him review the text, it wasn't reliable in many ways.

…… Really, I'm sleepy, but I can only survive on coffee.

He glanced at his desk, where two bronze fish were placed in a glassware. These are two of the three snake eyebrow copper fish, one of which is in the hands of Feng Han and Chen Xiangyan. Another one was sent to Dr. Kondraki.

"Although the text on it has been cracked, it is still too little information for the information we want......"

What is recorded on the Snake Eyebrow Bronze Fish is information about the establishment of the Genting Heavenly Palace by the Daeva race, but there is no accurate information about the 'Genting Heavenly Palace', such as the specific location, location, and environment.

The only thing that can be known is that the "Genting Heavenly Palace" is located in the territory of Changbai Mountain in China, and in fact it may refer to the entire Changbai Mountain Range, such a vast area, to find the tomb hidden underground, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly. His movements froze as a sharp knife pierced through his chest.

This is a fatal wound! As long as it is a human being, it is an injury that will surely die......

And the attacker behind him unhurriedly pushed his body down. Took the snake bronzeback from the table.

After the attacker's expression was unwavering, this person quietly walked out of the house quietly.

…… No one found the attacker's presence at this point in time.

………………

It should have been around five o'clock in the morning, Feng Han and was woken up.

His body mechanism is different from the past, and it is theoretically possible to avoid sleep and rest. But Feng Han's habit of being a human is still basically left. This left him still having to take a little nap in many cases.

"Something's wrong!" While Lian Xiao woke him up, he quickly passed the news to him.

"What's going on?"

Feng Han quickly got up from the bed.

"Listen, the first thing is...... Chen Xiangyan is missing, yes, I'm not kidding. She is gone, and yesterday she was in a room arranged by the SCP Foundation with Jeffson, Tang Niu and others, but last night, she disappeared. ”

All right! Bad news comes really fast!

Feng Han shook his head, dispelling the messy thoughts, he concentrated his mind and said, "This is the 21st underground room, it is impossible for her to escape lightly." ”

"But the question now is we really can't find her anywhere?"

Lian Xiao smiled bitterly: "I have to tell you the second thing, yesterday someone infiltrated Dr. Kondraki's office, killed him, and snatched the snake eyebrow copper fish by the way, what do you think......"

"You're trying to say that Chan killed Dr. Kondraki and disappeared after taking away the Snake Eyebrow Copperfish, which means that all the evidence points to her ...... murder"

Feng Han heard Lian Xiao's words and became silent.

"So, what are we going to do next......" Lian Xiao tried to ask.

"It seems that the plan has begun in the first place, so there is only one thing we have to do......

Feng Han frowned slightly, and said slowly, "Go see Dr. Kondraki and see what he has to say!" ”

………………

Dr. Kondraki, Foundation Level 4 personnel, one of the administrative directors, has extensive jurisdiction over Site-17 and multiple sites. His hobbies are photography, fencing, writing, and classical music, which he considers "the only one worth listening to", as well as leading the development of weapons that utilize the resources of SCP subjects.

In the SCP worldview, he is often grouped with three other people, Dr. Bright, Dr. Gears, and Dr. Clef.

…… Dr. Bright, because of SCP-963, yes, because of a quaint amulet ornament, his spirit can be transferred to another person's body at any time, or it can be described as a volitional copy; Dr. Gears, often suspected of being a skin-covered T1000 robot; The last Dr. Clef is also a prominent figure in the Foundation.

In fact, the Foundation has quite a few interesting characters, such as a dog who likes to ride an egg-shaped mechanism, someone who is never allowed to drive a vehicle (yes, absolutely, not even inline skates), and some D-class who is not dead......

"How did she sneak up from the 21st basement floor to the top of the surveillance facility......" Dr. Kondraki asked, holding his chin and unhurried.

"The monitoring equipment on the entire 21st floor has failed, so I can't answer this question."

Dr. Gears shook his head, "Around three o'clock in the morning, some surveillance equipment reacted abnormally, but the system did not react, presumably someone hacked the system......"

"It's really confusing, how did the other party do such a thing!"

"This question is actually not difficult to answer, although most of the surveillance equipment is out of order, but some footage is also captured......"

Dr. Gears pulls up a video showing the camera pointing at a large door, and out of it comes a man, about forty years old, wearing a simple coat.

And the man's face, Dr. Kondraki was all too familiar, it was his own.

"This is my face......"

He sat up straight, looked at the video and watched carefully, and the next scene surprised him a little, about four or five seconds later, the whole body of "himself" who walked out of the electronic door had abnormal changes.

He became another person, a woman.

This woman is naturally Chen Xiangyan, and she used this method to escape.

"I see, it's what I look like......

In the picture, Chen Xiangyan took out a PDA and directly connected it to a nearby terminal device, and it didn't take long for the video to go completely black.

"She can become me, but what is the principle of this, is it optical camouflage, or is it a physiological change in the body, is it really confusing?"

"Not SCP-408 anyway!"

Dr. Gears said indifferently, "Feng Han is going to meet with us, what do you think?" ”

"Oh, let them in."

Dr. Kondraki did not refuse, agreeing to seal their meeting.

………………

"So, first of all, I'm sorry for what my companion did!"

Feng Han faced Dr. Kondraki and said very calmly: "But since it has happened, let's take care of it!" ”

"Don't you even bother to ask about my 'death'?"

Dr. Kondraki smiled bitterly, of course, he was not dead, nor was he attacked by Chen Xiangyan, and the only thing in the office was an illusion created by SCP-408.

SCP-408, Kondraki's pet, is in the form of a colony of lepidoptera, zebra butterflies. SCP-408 appears to be a single entity at all times, presumably a form of psychic communication between swarms. When stationary, SCP-408 will take on colors, shapes, and even textures of its surroundings, rendering them invisible. When threatened, SCP-408 has been observed to take on a number of threatening organisms in form and appearance as a means of defense, including the proud lion, Tyrannosaurus rex, the most famous of which is SCP-682.
