I'm afraid of non-human beings

He was greeted by silence.

In the dead silence, only SCP-049-J was still standing there. Seeing that none of them spoke, they simply gave another exaggerated salute.

"The patient is cured," he repeated again.

The gleaming anticipation that he couldn't hide could be seen through the thick beak mask, and he looked at them motionlessly, as if begging for compliments.

Ren Yueyu: "Govern, cure——"

You cured his head... No, you just beat his head off!

"Yes, yes," SCP-049-J responded immediately, "The patient is doing well now!"

As he spoke, he bent down and lifted the scarecrow's headless body up.

It used to be much taller than him, but now it doesn't even have a head, and the height difference doesn't exist anymore.The quack doctor didn't have much trouble lifting that flimsy body, he swung the latter's remaining arms and legs indiscriminately.

SCP-049-J shields itself with the scarecrow's body, as if it could pretend to be talking.

"I don't feel any pain at all now, thank you doctor, you are the best doctor I have ever seen," he voiced in a high-pitched voice, "Your treatment is really effective and you are the antidote—"

While the other two were dumbfounded, Lin You, who made friends out of nothing, rushed forward,

"Yes doctor, look how much he thanked you!" She grabbed SCP-049-J's black gloved hands again, and said sincerely, "I believe you will be able to realize your lifelong ideal and eliminate the plague in the world!"

The quack doctor was obviously taken aback.

He rarely said coyly: "Yeah, it's not that good."

In saying so humbly, SCP-049-J's scuffing of the toes of his shoes and uncontrollable laughter fully revealed how pleased he was with the compliment.

"I'll keep trying," he whispered.

Geng Qinghe: "..."

You are just bullying others and you can't speak now!

"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask you, doctor," Lin You continued, "As long as you don't bother—"

SCP-049-J: "No no no, no."

His every move towards Lin You now is filled with the joy of meeting a bosom friend.

"You're coming, isn't it because a group of people said we were sick?" She said, "But I have to say, compared to us, the illness may be more serious over there."

SCP-049-J was obviously a little confused by the sudden and complicated situation, and the beak mask was sweating, "...Eh, eh?"

"This can't be based on my family's opinion. The specifics have to wait until we meet the patient in person. That's why I just said that our treatment is not urgent."

"But they're refusing treatment now, and they're locking themselves in—probably some basement, it's not going to work."

Lin You sighed, "How about we look for it together? We'll discuss the next treatment when we find it."

The plague doctor in the mask was so fooled by the upside-down black and white, and walked in the direction she pointed in a daze.

He had just turned the corner when he turned his head suddenly.

Geng Qinghe and the two of them thought he had come to terms with it, and when they were nervous, they heard that bastard quack doctor ask, "Where shall we meet later?"

"It's right here," Lin You said immediately. "Have you seen the clock hanging on the wall? Let's use it as a sign. If we have any clues, we will come and wait for you."

Seeing that the figure of SCP-049-J really disappeared at the end of the corridor, she turned her head and compared "OK" to the two who were dumbfounded at how she tricked the enemy monster into her own labor force.

Get it done.

Geng Qinghe: "This, that's all right?"

"Of course." After the enthusiasm subsided, Lin You resumed her usual smile, "That's his personality."

The real SCP-049, the "Plague Doctor", is quite a serious doctor.

He is the one who wants to eradicate the plague in the world, and spends his days researching how to improve his medical technology.The opposite is his hands, the reason is unknown, but human beings will die when they touch it, which is extremely dangerous.

But once the "J" representing the funny series is added, it no longer represents "Plague Doctor", but a pirated version of "Plague II".

This Mr. Bootleg claims to be a good doctor, but actually knows nothing about it, except how to make things worse.

For example, directly beat the patient to death.

Lin You lowered her head.

A few straws scattered at the feet are approaching each other loosely.

It certainly didn't die so easily.

Just when he came up, he was caught off guard, and the dagger that was used as the murder weapon also rolled to the side.Although the heads are now scattered, as long as they secretly, secretly regroup when they are not paying attention...

"Okay," Lin You said with a smile, "Now let's think about how to deal with this one."

The few straws shook violently.

—It's all over.

3 minute later.

"Okay." Lin You said.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"

Accompanied by this hoarse and weird sound that did not seem like a human being at all, the "sack" hanging from the ceiling lamp twisted and twisted.However, limited by its frivolous physique, no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't shake the shackles.

Its body was headless, even if it stood up, it would not have much strength to attack them.The scarecrow was almost helplessly dismantled by them, including the body. Several balls of straw were randomly rubbed and stuffed into the rags he had worn before, forming a round bundle.

"I didn't even have to look for a lighter," Lin You clapped her hands and concluded, "Let's go."

She didn't even mention the card collection—forget about the scarecrow whose head was knocked out by a leather shoe.

If Chaqi Quan knew about it, I am afraid that at this time, he would have a little sympathy with it.

Oh no, he's not dead yet.

"Since 049-J went there," Lin You said, "let's go to the other side."

Ren Yueyu nodded.

"Anyway," he said, "forget about the elevator for now."

What happened just now is an obvious warning.

As soon as he realized that they were approaching, he immediately released the next monster, undoubtedly forcing the sacrifice to stay away.

But in this way, Lin You thought, if he could continue to test repeatedly while ensuring his own safety, wouldn't it be an infinite monster spawner?

Geng Qinghe: "Sister Youyou?"

"Ah," she finally realized, "Sorry, I accidentally lost my mind just now."

It took them less than two or three minutes to pass through the corridor just now, but this time is fine in normal times, and at this time it means——

——It's coming again.

Obviously, it is impossible to hear the sound of the elevator here, but the long and indeterminate "ding—" seemed to echo in everyone's ears.

"Shh." Hiding behind the wall, Lin You raised her index finger.

The wheezing sound came closer, and it sounded like a panting from the depths of a beast's throat.

The long-haired monster hunched its back, the tip of its nose kept moving, and the sharp claws hanging by its sides were also trembling, as if it was desperately trying to tear something apart.

This time it's a werewolf, Lin You thought.

However, although it looks quite interesting, I haven't smelled them so close, maybe I have a cold?

The saliva dripped on the floor tiles that its paws stepped on, and even closer, it seemed that it could smell the stench from the wolf's mouth.They squatted halfway behind the door, watching the werewolf with a bad nose walking away step by step.

Geng Qinghe let out a long breath, and even his body slid down.

"But," he looked around, "this place we're hiding—"

"It's the monitoring room." Lin You said.

The wall they were facing was covered with large and small electronic screens, and various buttons and levers were arranged on the console below.Obviously, when the sacrifices were exhausted by monsters chasing them on the ground, those behind-the-scenes people were sitting here and manipulating everything.

And it doesn't even stop there.

Some wine bottles and wine glasses were poured crookedly on the corner of the table, with dark liquor dripping from the mouth of the cups; the names of monsters and corresponding bets were recorded on the white boards at the corners, and there were ribbons for celebration scattered on the floor. One is not justifying the high-sounding excuses that are being used, but also viewing it as a gamble and a party.

Now, that might still be going on, just moved somewhere safer, less known.

Geng Qinghe jumped up all of a sudden, "I'm so mad!"

Although the lights were bright, those screens and indicator lights were off, no matter how much he knocked and smashed, there was no response at all.

I'm afraid they had shut it all down by force when they evacuated.

"Wait a minute," Lin You suddenly noticed something, "There is still a door here."

The small door on the side of the monitoring room was not locked, it was just wide open, and there was a spiral staircase connected to it.The light was dim, but it was enough to illuminate each step clearly. The three of them looked at each other, with Ren Yueyu leading the way, Lin You at the back, and Geng Qinghe in the middle. The three tentatively stepped down the steps.

After walking a few steps, you can vaguely see the scene in the middle of the room.

It was like an altar poured with blood.

The blood was still wet, sticking to the edge, and it took a long time for a drop to fall.

Geng Qinghe was shocked.

He got it.

The sacrifice of this "base" has formed a complete process, and the sacrifices that died on the ground will be recovered. The most convenient place for sacrifice is either near the control room or here with the same complete facilities.

The core of this ceremony is now in front of their eyes.

"Do we just have to destroy it," he said passionately, "to stop the ritual—"

Before he finished speaking, Lin You poured cold water on her.

"They dare to keep it here, they must have their own confidence. Even if they forcibly destroy it now, it shouldn't be able to stop anything."

The rust-like smell of blood is really pungent.

"Let's go out first." She said, "There may be other places..."

"--Do not."

The person at the front suddenly spoke.

"This is their biggest mistake today," Ren Yueyu breathed urgently, and his hands reached into his backpack, as if he was groping for something, "It's yours too."

"...Finally I found it." He said softly.

Geng Qinghe: "...?!"

Suddenly there was a heavy muffled sound behind him.

Lin You turned her head abruptly, just as she saw SCP-096, which was wrapped in a paper bag, bumped into something.

What separates it from her is an invisible wall of air, it's hard to see how thick it is, but it's extremely strong. SCP-096 couldn't react, and foolishly wanted to follow, but it could only make a "thump, boom, boom" sound.

...don't be fooled.

And this air wall, there is no doubt that this must have been done by this person who is also a player with them.

With a "click", Lin You saw a cold light flashing between Ren Yueyu's fingers in the light that came in.

He completely took off his camouflage mask, held the switchblade that had just popped open, and aimed straight at the two behind him.

Geng Qinghe turned pale with shock.

"No, aren't we all players?" He was shocked, "Calm down—"

Ren Yueyu laughed shortly: "I'm very calm."

Lin You raised her eyebrows, "Really?"

"do not move!"

Ren Yueyu still had a fresh memory of what the other party did, and when she saw that she was about to raise her hand, she waved the switchblade indiscriminately, and the cold light that was about to stab it forced her to take a step back.

Lin You: "..."

Is she that scary? !

"Okay, okay," she put her hand down helplessly, "I won't move—so, what do you want to do to us?"

"Don't worry," he said in an odd tone of tension and excitement at the same time, "I'll find out soon."

"Now, follow me in."

"Immediately," he ordered.
