Chapter 20 Artifact-type Containments

(Thanks to Light and Shadow Arc and Bandaru for their tips and support)

"It's limited to the part of the New York containment facility, and the rest is not a threat to your steel suit, so I don't bother to listen to your nonsense." Lyle exits SCP-106's (Old Man Terrorist) containment unit and announces that the tour of the biotype containment has come to an end.

"You really have a really high opinion of your own brother~" No matter what thoughts you have in your heart, what you show is a calm mouth, which is Tony's consistent style, "The SCP Foundation is an international organization with a long history, and there are secret facilities all over the world...... So, how many monsters are there in this old-fashioned backdrop of 'there was a kingdom once upon a time'? ”

Lyle spread his hands: "I'm not boring enough to calculate the percentage of various types of containment, but I can tell you that the total number of existing containments is over five thousand, and there are far more than a hundred that can kill you. ”

"Are you sure?" The muzzle of Tony's palm glowed.

"You're not a magician, you're not trained to resist memetic infection, you're not using SCP-148 psychic shield alloy to create armor, and you're not resistant to soul magic, so it's easy to be manipulated." Lyle squinted his eyes and disdain, "Take Mei Li, who has never deliberately cultivated combat magic, for example, Mei Li goes down with a charm magic, you immediately go crazy and attack anyone who tries to stop you, and when you take off your steel suit and pants to try to force her, she can break your neck with a slap." ”

Of course, this is the result of the war in a state of lack of intelligence, if Tony is going to execute Mei Li, from the beginning with his eyes closed and firing energy cannons from afar, then Mei Li must be dead.

"You know what? I'm getting more and more interested in your maid. With that, Tony turned his head and looked at the field staff who had been surrounded by guns for a long time, he had already ordered the butler AI Jarvis to analyze their equipment, "...... Your helmet seems to be mixed with a small amount of unknown material, is this psychic blocking alloy? ”

Dr. Keels said indifferently: "Tony Stark, don't overestimate the power of Stark Industries, and don't underestimate the power of the SCP Foundation, similar to today's behavior I hope is the last time." ”

Snatching the Psychic Shielding Alloy and creating a steel suit that resists soul magic, Tony thought it was beautiful, but it was beyond the Foundation's bottom line.

"Hey~ I thought we could develop a more friendly relationship~" Tony said flirtatiously.

Lyle continued, "Honestly, joining the SCP Foundation is a good choice, but I only recommend that you grab the work of other researchers, build more powerful weapons for yourself and the Foundation, and conduct experiments on containment objects yourself is very risky, and may live shorter than being a superhero." ”

"Joining an organization that has imprisoned my own brother for thirty years sounds really good~" This statement is not evidence that Tony swore to refuse to join the SCP Foundation.

Lyle rolled his eyes, "I don't remember being 'imprisoned'. ”

"So you've actually breached containment for far longer than recorded?" Dr. Keels derives the truth from the past.

This is a topic that has passed the time limit, and Lyle is too lazy to answer: "What are the arrangements after that, go to my house to listen to the basic theory of magic?" ”

"It's an attractive proposal." Tony wasn't embarrassed at all when he was pointed out that he had other plans, "However, Dr. Facial Paralysis warned me that this was [the last time], so I decided to stay longer [this time], and since I have enough time, how about seeing the non-biological containment first?" ”

Dr. "............" Keels did not react to this, and he was barely annoyed.

"This is SCP-914 (Universal Converter), put an item in the input room, select one of the 'rough', 'semi-coarse', '1:1', 'finishing', 'super-finishing' on the console, and it will automatically transform the item, and the result will be produced in five to ten minutes." Lyle introduced as he stood in front of a giant clockwork unit that weighed several tons and covered an area of 18 square meters.

Before Lyle's introduction, Tony had already used the steel suit to scan the internal structure of the universal converter without authorization: "Countless transmission screws, conveyor belts, pulleys, gears, springs...... The material is mainly copper and tin, but there are also wooden and cloth parts? ”

"You can try throwing the steel suit in it and super-finishing, and there is a possibility that a much more powerful armor will appear than the one you have." Lyle said with a mocking smile, "But I don't recommend that you super-finish yourself, although I can understand your urgent needs, but the Foundation has paid the price of dozens of casualties in the past, and the super-refined D-class personnel have also turned into a pile of blue powder after a few hours." ”

"Haha, do you think you're humorous?" Tony looked left and right, and found that he couldn't find a small bolt in the containment unit, so he had to disarm his suit, take off his left leather shoe and put it in the input room, select 'Super Finish' on the console, and put on the steel suit again.

By the way, if there is no more attractive thing to visit, he plans to throw his right leather shoes, left socks, and right socks into them one by one to test each gear.

Lyle took out the file of the universal converter from the space props on his body, and handed it over with a copy of the idealistic magic scene: "For reference only." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Jarvis, record it. "The puzzles have to be solved one by one, and the magic of taking items out of thin air and copying them can be placed after the analysis of the universal converter.

Lyle pointed to the file and reminded, "The Foundation once super-refined a small pistol to produce a high-powered gamma-ray gun, and Dr. Keels was confident in his threat just now. ”

"But there's a guy in front of me who doesn't care about this threat at all." Tony questioned.

"Because the powerful gamma-ray gun can't hurt meβ€”"

An energy cannon shot out from Tony's left palm.

The energy cannon seems to have hit Lyle, but Tony is well aware that the picture is not normal, and the bright orange energy cannon seems to be glued to Lyle's body, dimming with time.

The energy cannon completely collapsed, and Lyle didn't even have his clothes damaged, let alone be injured.

"How so...... Zero damage, extremely offensive, if you weren't my own brother, I'd have beaten you to half death. Lylema said with a grimace.

Tony didn't mean to apologize at all, and asked, "What was magic just now?" ”

"Humans divide knowledge into categories, and the conventional understanding is that I'm using magic." Lyle turned to the working universal converter, "At the same time, the core of this thing is magic. ”

"I'm not surprised by this, because science can't build a machine that doesn't need a power source to operate on its own, not to mention the transmission relationship between the parts." Tony had already discovered this when he analyzed its internal structure, and when he threw the shoes inside, he found that it was really working, and he was very uneasy inside, but he couldn't see it with his visor.

Just because Tony didn't say it didn't mean that Lyle couldn't understand his feelings: "Me...... Probably a master alchemist, he can make a variety of props with a single effect. But I can't edit magic into a computer, with different effects based on different inputs, so I've been working on mechanical containments such as SCP-914 universal converters, SCP-294 coffee machines, SCP-978** cameras, and SCP-261 dimensional general-purpose vending machines. ”

"Hmph......" The grievances in Iron Man's heart were slightly calmed down.
