I'm afraid of non-human beings

After a few beeps, the electronic lock outside was unlocked.

When two guards with real guns and ammunition entered the door with weapons, Lin You and the others leaned against the wall and held their breath.

Perhaps out of concern for some monsters, the two guards did not turn on the overhead light in the containment room. Fortunately, otherwise, the figures of the few people hiding behind could be clearly seen through the almost transparent glass wall.

It won't attract the attention of the other side for the time being, but, as hell, the guy in the glass cage the three of them are leaning against is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Can't this guy be quieter?"

Ren Yueyu said in a breathy voice, his face was almost green, and he was wary of the footsteps on the other side of the room, for fear that the plague doctor would move so fast that they would attract the two of them.

"Leave him alone, I hope they won't see it." Lin You lowered her voice, "We can only hide here."

When the door was opened, the closest they were to was the dead corner behind the glass wall. Looking around, this was the only place where they could hide.

That bastard stopped moonwalking now, he put the pointed wooden stick under his arm, and began to indulge in gesticulating with them through the glass, trying to communicate with body language.

He waved his arms back and forth, making Geng Qinghe dazzled and dumbfounded. It was incredible that he could understand what he wanted to express.

The doctor in the beak mask pointed to himself.

--I.

--Yes.

— The antidote.

His arms made huge circles in the air, he coughed and jumped three feet high to show he was in good spirits, and finally made an exaggerated and comical bow.

—I can heal all your ailments.

Geng Qinghe: "..."

real or fake?

"...don't pay attention to him."

After a long silence, Lin You whispered.

The two guards were both wearing safety boots, and the sound of their footsteps on the marble floor was extraordinarily heavy, coupled with the hum of machinery running somewhere, it was enough to overwhelm the volume of their conversation.

"This guy should be SCP-049-J."

Geng Qinghe: "...'J'?"

He still remembered the nine-tailed fox. It seemed that there was no such letter after her serial number.

"'J' means 'JOKE', which is different from this article. It is a series specially used for funny." Lin You glanced behind her and found that the guy had really stopped, and was sticking one side of the mask tightly to the glass On the surface, as if trying to listen to their conversation, "For example, he is an out-and-out..."

"Quack doctor," she said ruthlessly.

As soon as the words came out, the guy dressed as a plague doctor seemed to have heard it, and took two steps back while clutching his heart, looking as if he had been shocked by a heavy blow.

There were a lot of sweat beads on his mask and neck, and he had one hand on his hips, one hand holding a cane, and pointed at them angrily, but no matter how you look at it, it was the flower shelf that was punctured to hold on to his arrogance. guilty conscience.

"Although I don't know how to do it..."

Lin You said in a low voice: "But they did get some of the Foundation's storage items, so be careful afterwards, some of them are quite dangerous."

"Like the one you met," she looked at Ren Yueyu, "It's a good thing you didn't see its face, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here now."

Ren Yueyu: "...?!!"

SCP-096, the shy "person".

The pale and thin humanoid creature is [-] meters tall. What does not match this figure is its docile habits. Compared with it, it prefers to squat in the corner with its face covered and grow mushrooms.

— Generally speaking.

No one knows how it does it, but once anyone sees its face, even if it is just a photo or video, it will immediately notice it, and then fall into extreme sadness.No matter how far away it is, it is useless, and it does not hesitate to chase and kill to the ends of the earth, crying and screaming. The Foundation once used executed prisoners to conduct experiments in submarines deep under the sea, and SCP-096 still rushed here from thousands of miles away. I will never give up until I tear the guy who sees my face to pieces.

Lin You was thinking about whether to take the opportunity to sneak out of the door when they completely went around to the other side, but the conversation from the air dispelled her thoughts.

Unlike them, the two security guards patrolling with guns didn't even think about suppressing their voices, and every word and sentence floated into their ears clearly.

"It should be safe." One person said, "What should I do now, lock the door and go back?"

"That's it. Anyway, we are here to investigate hidden dangers, and it will be the maintenance department's business later."

Another person also sighed, "Now the interior is in a mess, I haven't seen that group of gambling dogs can't continue playing, the one who was buried alive went on strike and the monster disappeared, there are problems with the monitoring here and there. You have to check each entrance and exit one by one, and quickly sacrifice enough to pull them down, but no one has found the token for a long time—"

Hey, Lin You thought gloatingly, but she didn't know who did the good thing.

Then he raised his head and met Geng Qinghe's gaze silently looking at her.

Lin You: "..."

Eh?Was it her?

In any case, she still beckoned the other two to be calm.Now that you know someone will come, don't be in a hurry at this moment.Before the guards patrolled over, they quietly switched to the other side to hide, and waited quietly for the two people to retreat, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

SCP-049-J is still facing away from them, drawing circles and cursing people guiltily and angrily, but no one cares about him now.

Lin You beckoned and told the two of them to walk quietly to the door together.

Although she was dazzled by the rows of monsters and wished she could not break through the thickened bulletproof glass to collect the cards on the spot, she still hadn't forgotten what the business was now.

In such an important place, since there is an electronic lock, there must be monitoring, and if you go out rashly, you will be found in all likelihood with a probe.No matter how good the martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives. With the three of them in their current state, it is really unwise to fight against submachine guns with bare hands.

Time passed by in the darkness where there were only shimmering lights in each glass room. It was so long that Lin You became suspicious. It took more than half an hour. Finally, after the sound of footsteps, there was another sound coming from outside the door. There was a "beep beep" sound of pressing the password.

only one person.

Lin You closed the illustration book that she had just opened and confirmed with a "snap", and winked at the other two.

--It's now!

Light came in through the crack in the door, and the person who stepped into the door just took a few steps when a hand knife in the darkness hit his neck hard, and he fainted on the ground before he could groan.

Geng Qinghe, who was the closest in stature, changed into the employee uniform repeatedly. I don't know if it was because he was too flustered or what.

The sound was so loud that even Lin You felt a phantom pain. Fortunately, Geng Qinghe wobbled to stabilize his balance, covered his forehead and swiped his card on the display screen again, half guessing according to the manual that he flipped out. Monty pressed a few buttons.

The camera facing this side in the corner of the ceiling literally stopped working.

"Sister You," it's done, Geng Qinghe also forgot the pain, and greeted excitedly, "It's done!"

Lin You: "..."

So misfortune and luck are really quite Schrödinger on him.

Ren Yueyu was also dumbfounded, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered and asked, "Where are you going now?"

"Central control room," Lin You replied, "It may be in another place. Find the main switch first."

Before the words were finished, the sound of mixed footsteps suddenly came from around the corner.

Lin You secretly thought something was wrong.

"Move him in and close the door!"

She glanced at the empty office diagonally across the corner, "Go in and hide, the sooner the better!"

The second after they dealt with everything, the sound of chaotic footsteps passed the closed door.

From the heavy steps, one could tell that the people who came were all fully armed.They didn't seem to notice the difference, and ran straight ahead.

Geng Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

"It doesn't seem to be aimed at us...what's wrong with them?" He said, "In such a hurry."

"Maybe something happened elsewhere."

Lin You said.

With so many monsters imprisoned, and the sacrifices are all players, there must be others who will make some moths.

Her eyes swept across the empty office, and the tables were in a mess, as if the people who were busy here had been called away in a hurry.

Lin You seemed to have stepped on something under her feet, and Lin You glanced over subconsciously.

That's a photo.

The majestic snow-capped mountains are all white, but there is a small black spot on the mountainside that is out of place, and it is not clear what it is.

"Strange," Geng Qinghe scratched his head, bent down and stared at a blood-stained knife on the table, "This knife looks familiar."

Ren Yueyu said "Hey": "Why is there a music box here?"

Inside the half-closed music box, a small figure in a tutu stands quietly.

The moment his thoughts were connected was like lightning, and Lin You's pupils shrank suddenly.

"...I know what this office is for." She murmured.

The table knife belonged to Chucky, the music box belonged to the ballet girl, all of them were keepsakes.

In other words, they were preparing for recycling, but if they were so full of lawsuits that they couldn't even complete the ceremony, they didn't need to think about it.

Now where the people in this department are called to help is not the point, the point is that the monsters released will be related to the photos——

"Let me ask you," she turned to Ren Yueyu suddenly, "how far is it from here when you saw it in the forest just now?"

Ren Yueyu: "There is a distance, but why suddenly—"

"Don't open your eyes!"

Lin You raised her voice: "No matter what happens, close your eyes!"

Even if it's just a blurry silhouette, the effect on SCP-096 is the same.So what if there is a distance, its top speed can reach dozens of kilometers per hour,

but--

enough.

In less than ten seconds, there was a violent vibration from the ceiling above his head.

Once, again, the wall was smashed into cracks like spider webs.

When the rubble and lime fell together, Geng Qinghe closed his eyes reflexively.

Accompanied by the screams of a baby, the monster that smashed through the ceiling of the underground base abruptly fell to the ground.

Its open jaw is four times the size of a normal person. As Ren Yueyu described it, its naked body is thin and pale, and its two abnormally long arms are waving wildly. No one can see it.

—Well, four people.

SCP-096: ...

……what?

It stared blankly at the two people who were exactly the same in front of it, and even forgot to cry, and fell into a situation of being at a loss for the first time in its life.

SCP-096 can feel it, only one of them actually sees his own face.

But, but...

Whether it's appearance or anything else, the feeling is not bad at all.

it--

It cannot be selected.

Lin You felt the guy beside her tremble a little.

"Calm down," she said with her eyes closed, "I'm not going to react like that."

Yuan Heiying, who was ordered to copy her identity as soon as she was summoned, had no choice but to do so. After a moment of stalemate, SCP-096 turned around silently.

It seemed to be hit by some setback, very depressed, sat down on the spot, covered its face and began to cry.

Lin You didn't feel relieved.

Fortunately, she confirmed that the cooling time of the upgraded illustrated book had indeed been shortened, so she had time to call out the doppelganger.

however……

3 minutes, the time it can come out is only 3 minutes.

"You keep going back like this," Lin You urged as the second hand on the wall turned silently, "You understand me?"

Five, four, three, two...

……one.

The doppelganger disappeared.

But it still exists in the illustrated book.

SCP-096, who had been struggling for a long time, sat there obediently, crying even more sadly.

It was a good thing that it didn't show any aggressiveness anymore, but the commotion it made just now was really not small, so it had to leave before those people came.

Lin You closed her eyes, trying to go around carefully, but she only felt her clothes tightening.

SCP-096 whimpered, reaching out and grabbing the hem of her clothes.

Lin You: "..."

...? ? ?

The author has something to say: Remember to be responsible when you look at other people’s faces, Sister Youyou x

SCP-096: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Lin You: No problem!

Naia:?

PS. See you next year!
