Dead World, the main part of the Steam City.

A figure shrouded in a black trench coat hides in a small cul-de-sac.

Shen Shen looked at the damp and filthy ground with disgust, and from time to time some strange-looking rats scurried over from the corner.

This time, Shen Shen incarnated in the world of death.

Immediately stepped out towards the mouth of the alley that emitted bright light in front of him, and Shen Gray's hidden image suddenly changed into a middle-aged man wearing a dress, a hat and a cane.

This outfit is not uncommon in the world of the dead, but it is not rare either, and most of them are middle-class people.

After walking out of the filthy and filthy cul-de-sac, Shen Shen instantly found himself in a magnificent steel city.

It is surrounded by towering Gothic buildings, with high spired churches at intervals, and bizarre statues and frescoes all over the city.

Huge magic crystals glow like brilliant gems and are embedded in the facades of some buildings, surrounded by many pipes and gears.

Pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry, all busy with their own business, and of course there were also believers who stopped in the streets, holding leaflets in their hands and preaching the doctrine of their church to passers-by.

There are also mechanical vehicles powered by magic energy on the road.

With the continuous improvement of technological civilization and the use of magical energy in the Steam City, the impact of the main city has been greatly weakened even on the day of the Great Ruin.

Most people attribute this to the improvement of technology and magical energy, but Shen Shen knows that this is just because there are more churches here to establish faith and worship.

It can also be said that because of the development trend of human civilization in the dead world, it has imperceptibly influenced the initial world pattern.

But some things can never be changed......

"The Elixir of Light has been distributed! Everyone, go get it! ”

I don't know who shouted in the street, and most of the pedestrians who were busy with their own things were like sharks smelling blood when they heard it.

Immediately put down the things in his hand and the things he was going to do, and all of them converged towards one place.

Shen Shen also followed, and his incarnation in the world of death this time was to substitute for him to observe the changes in the world of death.

Following the flow of people, Shen Shen soon came to the place where they gathered.

The City Guard and Foundation were at the door of the same building, and all the people who had gathered were rushing towards this side.

There were also strange-looking humans curled up in the possession.

"Queue up one by one to register, and exchange it for the potion you were given before."

While the City Guard was maintaining order, the Foundation personnel shouted, pulling out an unknown substance in a glass bottle of orange semi-fluid from the box behind them.

The first person in line immediately took out a glass bottle of the same kind from his bosom, and the contents were also semi-fluid, but not orange, but filthy black and gray.

After registering, he handed the glass bottle in his hand to the members of the Foundation, took the orange bottle and immediately thanked him and left the place.

The people in the back queue also took out a gray-black bottle of their own, and exchanged the orange bottle with the members of the Foundation.

Shen Shen squeezed directly to the front, and before the city guard personnel who maintained order scolded, he took out a document belonging to the high-level personnel inside his arms.

After the other party saw it, the impatience on his face immediately turned into respect and humility.

"My lord, what are you doing here?"

Shen Ash didn't talk nonsense with these people, and directly snatched a bottle of orange substance from the hands of the Foundation members.

The moment he came into contact, Shen Shen immediately felt that his spirit was a little excited, and his mood became happy.

Walking to the side, Shen Shen shook the glass bottle in his hand and stared.

"This thing...... It's a substance extracted from SCP-999's tickle..."

Just a moment when Shen Shen was talking to himself, the people who were huddled around before had all gathered around Shen Shen's side.

stared at Shen Ash with blank eyes, more precisely, at the bottle of orange in Shen Ash's hand, the substance extracted from the tickling monster.

Shen Shen suddenly understood, these people ...... All of them are people who have been eroded, that is, they have been infected with dark erosion syndrome, and they are very severe.

With the development of their civilization, the use of magical energy and the indescribable pollution caused by it became more obvious.

Dark erosion syndrome is no longer a rare strange disease, but an epidemic.

The blow to their society, to humanity is undoubtedly enormous.

The Itchy Monsters previously contained were effective in curing Dark Erosion Syndrome.

Shen Shen had predicted before, but he didn't expect that they would extract a substance from the tickle monster that could cure the dark erosion syndrome through research.

But not everyone has access to a cure for Dark Erosion Syndrome, at least not for those at the bottom.

Shen Shen played with the glass bottle in his hand, and then casually threw it to a person gathered nearby.

The other party held it in a panic, and before he could thank him, he immediately uncorked the bottle, and the people around him immediately gathered around to compete for the bottle of potion without an owner.

But the other party had already poured into his mouth, and the whole person was refreshed at a speed visible to the naked eye, although the place where the body had been distorted could not be reversed.

However, it can well suppress the distortion in the rest of the place.

After drinking for five seconds, the other party coughed violently, and immediately took the bottle in his mouth, and the black-gray semi-liquid substance coughed from his mouth into the glass bottle.

The black-gray potion has been polluted by absorbing the dark erosion.

The need to exchange the contaminated agent for fresh medicine means that it can be recycled.

And what do you do after recycling......

While everyone's eyes were on the commotion here, the figure suddenly disappeared without anyone noticing.

In the next moment, Shen Shen had already appeared in the shelter at the Foundation headquarters.

It's a much more lively place than ever.

Men in Foundation uniforms pushed cartloads of black-and-gray potion bottles toward the containment chamber containing the tickles.

Shen Shen was like air at this time, and no one noticed him.

Walking slowly towards the room where the tickle was contained, a "squeak" sound also came to Shen Gray's ears.

I saw that the tickle was imprisoned, and there was a sink underneath it, connected to many glass containers.

Bottles of contaminated black-gray potion poured down on the tickler's head, directly into the other's body, and then turned into an orange semi-fluid that flowed out from below.

The Tickle is now like a relentless filter, frantically absorbing the power of unspeakable aberrations.
