As the top combat force on the front line of the company, the strength of the elite containment team is naturally undoubted.

This strength does not refer to the level of energy often referred to in the Alliance, but to the anomalous effects they possess, as well as a firm sense of containment and flexible combat thinking.

Just like now, even if the most important vision is lost, the seven members of the elite containment team, under the unprofessional reminder and command of Dr. Schmidt, still forced the shadow eater into the next containment room with tacit cooperation.

When the door was closed, Dr. Schmidt, the only one who was not stained with transparency, came to the door and pressed the switch.

In an instant, the containment chamber erupted in a myriad of dazzling bright lights, and the rays of light reflected back and forth on the mirrored walls, completely sealing the shadow eaters who could only move in the shadows between the gaps of light.

After doing this, Dr. Schmidt finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The team members next to him, who had not yet escaped the transparency effect, walked over, looked at Dr. Schmidt in the voice, and said calmly: "5-323's special containment procedures are still intact, which means that it was released by someone with authority, doctor, do you have any clue?" ”

Dr. Schmidt gritted his teeth and said, "There are two possibilities, one is the inner ghost hidden in Base Three, that is, the Broken Temple fanatic who caused this containment breach, and the other is an anomalous containment object on the seventh layer......"

The team frowned and said, "Containment? ”

Dr. Schmidt forced his composure, "Well, it's either 0-527 or 2-043, and only the two of them know so much about the containment and containment procedures of the seventh layer, I think-"

Before he could finish speaking, steady footsteps came from the corner of the corridor ahead.

Dr. Schmidt immediately closed his mouth and turned his head with a frown, only to see a crimson figure emerge from the corner, grinning in the direction of Dr. Schmidt and the others, revealing a wicked smile.

…… It's 2-043 Crimson Demon!

Dr. Schmidt's pupils narrowed, and without hesitation, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

"Run, it's 2-043, he has an extremely deep mind twisting ability, only the mind isolation alloy can deal with it!"

“…… It turned out to be it. ”

The seven transparent team members immediately remembered the information about [2-043].

The team leader only thought for a moment, and then decisively ordered, "Ron, you stay and stop 2-043, and the rest of us will escort Dr. Schmidt out of here with me!" ”

"Yes!"

The team members responded, and then quickly split into two groups, leaving the broken work entirely to the team member named Ron.

At the same time, Dr. Schmidt heard a voice behind him, and he quickly recalled Ron's information.

Ron Miles, a member of the elite containment team 'Cyber Hands', was killed during Containment Operation 2-212, and as a result, became a mechanical cyborg with over 99% full-body modification.

2-212 is a large medical device with three large robotic arms equipped with a variety of attachments, but no storage area or power source has been found.

To date, over three hundred different attachments have appeared on SCP-2-212's robotic arm, each with a different function, and all attempts to disassemble and modify it have failed.

At the same time, 2-212 showed an extremely strong desire to transform.

When SCP-2-212 comes into contact with any living tissue, it will be forcibly grabbed onto the operating table using a robotic arm, and then randomly transformed into a different form by various violent means.

Ron was a benign victim of 'random modifications', his entire skeleton was replaced with super-dense ceramic, bone marrow was replaced with a blue gel of unknown material, and his heart, liver, and kidneys were removed and replaced with more potent metal implants.

In addition, his stomach was modified to secrete acid strong enough to dissolve steel, his eyeballs were replaced with optical sensors that can see the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum, and his hands were amputated from wrists to eight two-foot-long metal nanotentacles.

Judging from the data, Ron's physique can indeed adapt to most containment scenarios.

But in front of a crimson demon with the power of mind twisting, it shouldn't be the best choice, right?

Just as Dr. Schmidt was thinking this, the captain who was running from behind him calmly explained: "The information has not been updated yet, before being transferred to the seventh layer, Ron had just undergone a secret transformation, and now, his skull has been replaced with a psychic isolation alloy, and he will definitely not be affected by the power of psychic distortion." ”

I see!

Dr. Schmidt had an epiphany.

The captain next to him picked him up and asked as he ran, "Doctor, what should I do now?" ”

Dr. Schmidt's face changed dramatically, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and whispered, "Go to the containment chamber of 0-527 and release him!" ”

The captain frowned and said, "0-527...... Project Pandora? ”

Dr. Schmidt said calmly: "That's right, he has an extraordinary attachment to 2-239, and as long as 2-239 hasn't breached containment, I'm not afraid that he will be in the same league as other anomalies!" ”

Of course, in addition to this, there are also some factors about Ang Lee and Li Xia's siblings.

But this part of the information is a top secret, and even the captain of the 'Cyber Hand' has no right to know it.

After a little thought, the captain nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I understand!" ”

……

……

At the same time, in the corridor behind them, Ron, who had been left behind, officially confronted the Crimson Demon.

After discovering that his mind-twisting power didn't work, the crimson demon couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

In the next second, sixteen transparent metal tentacles pierced the air, carrying the sound of whistling air from all directions.

The crimson demon came back to his senses, and a strange evil smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Than tentacles?"

"Okay, let's see who has more tentacles!"

With a wild laugh, countless thick scarlet vines shot out from behind the Crimson Demon, crushing Ron's metal tentacles head-on, and then winding around the tentacles in reverse.

“…… It's the Flame Devouring Vine! ”

Looking at the vine body behind the crimson demon that was wildly waving, like an octopus sea monster, Ron couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and his heart was not good.

Flamedevouring vines are anomalies also contained on the seventh level, possessing the ability to devour any flame.

Researchers speculate that it must have a certain level of mind, about the same level as a two- or three-year-old human child.

It was originally speculation, but now, Ron was certain that the Flame Devouring Vine had an independent mind, as it was completely controlled by the Crimson Demon.

"What's the matter, are you running out of donkey skills?"

The crimson demon smirked as he raised his right hand slightly, pointing forward.

In an instant, dozens of vines shot out, surrounding the transparent Ron from all directions.

Immediately afterward, countless vines tightly wrapped around Ron's body, constantly wriggling and tightening, and a tooth-aching sound of metal twisting sounded.

Under the restraint of the Flame Devouring Vine, all of Ron's methods were almost ineffective, and even if he detonated the miniature nuclear bomb in his body now, it would only add a force to the Flame Devouring Vine.

Gradually, Ron's transparent form revealed.

That metallic face was full of the calm of looking directly at death.

…… Is this all there is to it?

Ron muttered to himself.

Ignoring his deformed body squeezed by the vines, he turned his head and looked in the direction of his companions' flight.

In the next moment, a scarlet flame suddenly ignited on the vines, and the flames of thousands of degrees quickly engulfed Ron's body, causing the alloy on his body to melt gradually.

……

……

On the other side, the captain who was running froze slightly, and then quickly regained his previous speed.

Dr. Schmidt realized that something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ron is dead."

The already visible captain calmly told the truth.

Dr. Schmidt's face became complicated.

He sighed and tapped the man below him on the shoulder.

"It's almost there......"

Suddenly, all six members of the team stopped in unison, staring at the front.

Dr. Schmidt looked up and saw a terrifying doll in a white dress with a face like a strange stitch lying on the glass window, next to the containment room where Li Yun was being held in front of him, and looked at Li Yun sitting quietly in the glass window.

“…… Can you help me remove the battery next to it? ”

Li Yun said into the walkie-talkie in a serious tone.

The doll pressed against the window, staring at him silently for a moment, then slowly turning her head to look at Dr. Schmidt and the others in the hallway in a very frightening way.

“……”

Dr. Schmidt's face turned pale, and he did not dare to speak.

The 'Cyber Hand' team members next to them glanced at each other and nodded slightly, and one of the female team members, who was slender and had a bright silver skin like metal, raised her legs and walked over quietly.

In the meantime, the doll was still attached to the window, its head turned ninety degrees, and it quietly looked in the direction of Dr. Schmidt and the others.

As the female team member passed behind the doll, everyone's hearts were lifted by the female team's movements.

The captain stares at the doll's every move, and as soon as his team members show a little voice and attract the doll's attention, he will immediately intervene to attract the doll's attention.

Fortunately, the female team member has an excellent mentality and is quite light.

Even within a step of the doll, she didn't make a sound.

Soon, the female team members passed by the glass window under Li Yun's surprised gaze, and then came to the front of the [Unshakable Lock].

Her slender metal palm lifted, and her skin flowed slowly like a silvery liquid, flowing into the gap in the power cover in the blink of an eye, touching the battery inside without opening the lid.

"Whew-"

The power supply was cut off in an instant, and Li Yun had a smile on his face, and his figure appeared at the door as if he was teleporting.

"Bang!"

The door was violently pushed open by Li Yun, who did not know the situation.

The face of the female team member behind the door changed greatly, and she quickly turned her head to look at the doll.

I saw that the doll turned its head suddenly, and in a flash, it pounced on the female team's head.

At the last moment, a strong hand reached out from the door, stopped in front of the female team member at a speed far faster than the doll, and grabbed the doll's old stitched body.
