Chapter 2 Helplessness

(Thanks to my younger brother's surname Liu and Bandaru for their tips and support)

As the confusion that has existed in the depths of the soul for a long time has been answered, Lyle has reached a higher level of relief, and his future rebirth will no longer suffer from the mental illness of "peeking into his past life experience in a dream", and the growth process will be a little more normal.

Of course, characteristics such as the basic ability that far surpasses ordinary people, the epiphany-style knowledge of remembering past lives, the change in appearance with age, and the obsession with the maid summoning technique are still there, and unless he deliberately hides it due to the lack of trust in his birth family, he will definitely not be able to spend an ordinary childhood.

Just like in this life, Lyle was born as the second son of a successful scientist and wealthy businessman, and although his father is a busy man with a career priority, his family trust is still qualified. However, one day, he noticed that a bad guy (Hydra spy) had come to his house, and he took action to capture him, and he didn't know what happened to the bad guy, but he was sent to a strange facility by his father a few days later.

It is ostensibly a government-backed factory in New York City, but in fact it is a large number of heavily armed security personnel, management who do not wear suits and white coats, the barely audible sound of the factory's production equipment running, and the vast and deep underground area all speak of its extraordinary.

Of course, what is even more telling is the magic that comes from the deeper underground, but only Lyle can perceive this with so many people present.

"Mr. Stark, you know the rules." The white coat researcher in the lead stopped in front of an elevator painted with a warning sign and said as he stared at Lyle behind Howard.

Although he has sponsored a lot of armaments to the SCP Foundation, but the SCP Foundation has funding from major regimes around the world, and there is no shortage of money and materials at all. ”

"Of course." Researchers in white coats may discard part of their humanity when they do experiments, and they usually still have the basic norms of being a human being, and they form a distance when they hear words, giving space for the father and son to communicate.

However, he did not order the security personnel to be de-guarded, and according to Howard's report, Lyle is very likely to be a reality bender, and he should be wary of his grief when he does not know his level.

Howard crouched down, pressed one hand on his youngest son's shoulder, and organized words for a long time before he spoke, "Lyle, this is a facility of the SCP Foundation...... After that, you're going to live here. ”

"I see." Lyle nodded.

Howard, who was originally preparing to deal with his youngest son's crying, was shocked by this: "You...... Don't you want to ask why? ”

"I can feel that you have good intentions and guilt, Mom and Dad, so I don't blame you." Lyle smiled and pulled a letter out of his pocket and handed it over, "You shouldn't have mentioned this to Tony yet, have you?" Just use my reasoning and say that I went to a magic school, lest he ignore you. ”

Howard hugged his youngest son and explained with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, it's my dad's incompetence...... The outside world is dangerous, and once your abilities are discovered, there will be many organizations that want to kill you, and the SCP Foundation is already the best choice. ”

Without mentioning the cult-like organization, Howard's old rival Hydra, another international organization that is also funded by the world's major sovereign states and pursues the principle of 'destroy before asking why', Howard can't deal with it.

The answer to "I ...... so it is" is absolutely accurate, but if you really want to be convinced, you need this kind of reasoned explanation.

Lyle, who was in a greatly improved mood, thought about it and asked the most concerned question: "By the way, can you still come here to see me later, parents?" ”

Howard looked back at the white-coated researcher and said in a deep voice, "...... I'll do my best to apply. ”

As an outsider, he didn't know if it was the facility's researchers or the O5 Council that had the authority to approve it, but he knew that the SCP Foundation had never been a humane organization.

"Really......?" Lyle, who understood the subtext, looked very lost, after all, no matter how sensible he was, he was only three years old.

"If you want to live safely, then hide your strength and meet your basic needs and recreational activities; If you want to regain your freedom, show your worth and become a member of the SCP Foundation. Howard reminded Lyle in his ear lightly and quickly, and regardless of whether Lyle heard it clearly or not, he stood up and signaled to the white-coated researcher that the father-son exchange was over.

The second half of the sentence is okay, the SCP Foundation doesn't mind using valuable and harmless anomalous entities, the first half of the sentence is not quite appropriate, the SCP Foundation has a daily job of researching and understanding anomalous individuals, and a clumsy anomalous entity is unacceptable.

Thankfully, the white-coat researcher, who formally distanced himself and actually pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, only heard the previous conversation, and did not hear the last sentence: "Is it far more mature than his peers, and can he feel the kindness and guilt of others?" Is this part of his ability as well? ”

Howard, not wanting to hear about his own son as the subject of his research, interrupted, "Lyle, remember what I just said. ”

"Hmm." Lyle nodded, and walked over nervously.

Researcher Bai Lab opened the elevator door with his ID card and said with a smirk: "Children, don't be too nervous, uncles and aunts will take care of you instead of your parents." ”

"............" Lyle looked at the other and walked into the elevator with his head hanging down without saying a word.

If it weren't for Howard's reminder, he might have said, 'You don't have half kindness in your heart.'"

》》》》》》

First, a full set of physical examinations was carried out, and the Hume index was measured by a Kant counter to confirm that Lyle was a reality bender.

In the one-on-one interview, Lyle followed his father's reminder and only talked about the telekinesis and soul perception abilities he used to capture the bad guy (Hydra Spy), and concealed other magic that he had gained from epiphany.

After considering it, Lyle decided to refuse the researcher's request and create a kind persona, and was coerced and lured by the researcher, but the bowling ball failed to hit the target, conveying the wrong information about his telekinesis.

In the end, Lyle was taken to a single room of 6.1m × 6.1m, where there are only necessities such as tables, chairs, beds, toilets, bathrooms, etc., and other items need to be applied, which is his 'home' for many years to come.

"SCP-4679, that's my future name...... It's unpleasant. At the end of the day, Lyle turned off the lights, lay down in bed, glanced at the 24-hour surveillance camera in the corner of the room, and closed his eyes.

And then.

Casting the spell leaves a puppet with vital signs such as body temperature and breathing in place, while the main body retreats into the shadows to advance through the research area.

- The SCP Foundation's discovery of evidence that Lyle left the containment chamber without permission five years later does not mean that Lyle did not follow the rules after five years.
