Chapter 356: Exploring the Backrooms

The investigators of the Dead World, members of the Foundation, and members of various sects all converge in a city called Hilda.

As the last city to be established as a result of the expansion of the New Land, Hilda's prosperity and population cannot be compared to the rest of the cities.

But under the great age of magical energy, this place is not too bad, and it is even far more like the style of the magical era than the previous cities.

The style of the Age of Magic Energy is more artistic.

After all, most of the madmen, or the group of people who are about to go crazy and have power, are more than half artists.

Huge black castles with smooth towers, magic towers hundreds of meters high, and some gear-mechanical houses remodeled in the style of the Steam Age, can be found in buildings of all styles.

It's just that during this time, this city that few people care about has become extremely lively.

From the central city led by Arkham, many famous people have come one after another.

And the purpose of their coming here is naturally for the legendary supernatural event of SCP-001.

At this time, everyone gathered in front of a wall, an ordinary steel wall, which didn't seem to have anything special.

But no one dared to come within five meters.

"This is it, hey, I didn't expect such an ordinary place to lead to another world."

A member of Dagon's secret sect muttered, then picked up a stone and threw it at it.

The stone that was supposed to make a noise against the wall disappeared before their eyes as if it had sunk into water.

"Who would dare to give it a try?"

"Why don't you people from the secret sect of Dagon go to fight first? Otherwise, I can't live with so many of your believers. ”

"After all, your great gods will watch you in darkness, and our lives are dark enough."

There are people from the rest of the sect who want the people of the secret sect of Dagon to give it a try.

"you, Fake, your mouth stinks like the socks on my feet, you're going to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish sooner or later, and this kind of thing should be done by the members of the Foundation."

The Foundation task force who were present ignored them at all, they were here to investigate, not to die.

However, they did what they should do, and immediately contacted the nearest Foundation stronghold via the Magic Communicator.

"Bring five D-class personnel over at once, they may need their help here."

Someone immediately spoke: "Wait for your people to come, I'm afraid this strange space has disappeared, I can find it like this, I can't miss it like this, otherwise I don't know how long it will take to meet next time." ”

"Then what else to say, you go down first, anyway, someone has already managed to come out of it, there must be a passage to the real world."

"Then why don't you go?"

For a moment, everyone present was arguing.

They all wanted to know where it was going, what was going on.

For the unknown in this world, all human beings have no division of churches and organizations, they all have the same purpose, that is, to find out.

It's just that this is a completely unknown place, and they are afraid.

They know very well that the unknown is the most terrifying thing in this world.

But at this moment, someone from the people behind shouted, "Get out of the way, Mr. Francis is here!" ”

"Oh, our legendary investigator is finally here, Francis, old man, why are you here?"

The crowd dispersed and made a way.

A one-meter-eight, wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat, with slightly dark skin, and a calm look on his face all the time, as if nothing could shake the person inside him, walked in.

Francis, the legendary investigator, was also an old acquaintance in the various churches, and no one in the room did not know him.

There are even many "comrades-in-arms" who participated in the investigation of the incident, and as for what backstabbing happened during the investigation, only they know by heart.

But when it comes to investigating and dealing with strange things, they all surprisingly agree that Francis is reliable.

"Francis, what do you think?"

Francis did not look at it, but instead stated the results of the investigation into SCP-001 for so long.

"According to valid records, at least a thousand or so humans have disappeared out of thin air, and only one person has reappeared."

"There is a way to go back to that world, but it must be very difficult to get back."

Francis looked up as he spoke, a confident smile on his face.

"But compared to the endless Crazy Mountains, and the depths of the Sea of Death, do you think the danger here is even higher?"

No one in the room dared to say such a thing with such confidence, and only Francis could.

Because he really came back from these places unharmed.

Some people say that he is lucky, but luck is part of strength.

"Since you all want to know what's inside, why don't you go in and explore it together?"

"Isn't that what you're sent here for?"

"And I'm taking the lead, fellows, don't you want to rediscover the excitement of the past?"

Everyone was moved, and it was true, as Francis said, that they were here to investigate the place.

Before, it was scary, but now someone is taking the lead, and it's Francis, who was born like a leader, and now it doesn't seem so scary......

"Well, Francis, with your words, as long as you go down, we will follow, they are all people who have come from the brink of death, what is so terrible about death!"

"It's just that there are more terrible things in this world than death, and maybe there is a far better place in this world."

"Bless me, O Lord of my faith."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Francis looked at the wall in front of him.

He has a resolute look in his eyes, and he will take all kinds of risks and do not hesitate.

It's not just my dream when I was a child, I want to investigate all the weirdness clearly, so as to really understand the world.

It's also about finding that person.

The mysterious man who once gave him bread to eat, gave him a letter of introduction, and made him an investigator.

Ever since he had a stable life, Francis had been looking for that person.

But after several years of searching for the street where we once met, there was no news.

Later, an investigation was carried out through various connections, but there were no clues at all.

The person who had helped him, as if it didn't exist.

But Francis has a feeling that the other party is not simple, maybe just like those weird.

In this world, there is a mysterious existence that cannot be detected.

So he's been looking for each other everywhere as well.
