I'm afraid of non-human beings

That can't even be called a human face.

The lower half is completely hidden in the darkness, there is no nose bridge, only two eyes that are as stiff as if carved out of plaster-if they can be called "eyes".

It only takes one glance, and a sense of fear that is so strong that it cannot be described will capture one's whole body and mind.

When the voice disappeared, Guan Chuchu subconsciously lowered her head.

—and then, without a doubt, she saw that face too.

She wanted to do something, she knew what she had to do, but her heels were firmly nailed to the ground and she couldn't move at all.

It was so dark and dull, and they couldn't even see each other at such a close distance, but the half-looming pale grimace so firmly attracted the attention, and the sense of presence was so strong that it almost occupied the entire field of vision.In the terrible and silent silence, the two looked at it, maybe for a second, but it could be even shorter——

It came straight on!

At that moment, Guan Chuchu stared and opened her mouth wide. She heard a piercing scream that was far away but close at hand, but all she could do was stand there with her eyes open.

The roaring grimace magnified infinitely, and just before she couldn't help closing her eyes, it suddenly disappeared in the air, as if it had never appeared before.

Guan Chuchu looked back and forth in shock.

...Disappear, disappear?

Her heart was still pounding, when she suddenly heard the person next to her sigh.

Guan Chuchu: "???"

"...Sister You?" She called out tentatively.

The one called was busy refolding something and putting it in his pocket.

"Ah," and then he managed to respond, "It's nothing, just a photo I picked up by chance. I wanted to take a look at it when it really came, but I didn't expect it to disappear before that."

Lin You made a "tsk".

The execution experiment in the stairwell, from beginning to end.

Can't afford to play?

Guan Chuchu: "..."

Why are you so disappointed? !

She had heard Lin You give a general account of their experience before, and now she can guess which photo it might be, and she thought that no matter whether that damn thing had a biological retina or not, SCP-096 must have secretly breathed a sigh of relief .

Having said that, people are different.

Recalling her stunned reaction, Guan Chuchu thought with lasagna tears in her heart, she is still on the first floor, and the boss has directly climbed to the top.

After confirming the safety, a certain summit climber went down the last few steps, reached out and touched the ground for a long time, and picked up the flashlight that didn't light up.

Guan Chuchu could only guess what she was doing based on her voice.

"Why, how's it going, Miss Yu?"

We all know that when something breaks, all you have to do is knock on it.

Lin You grabbed the flashlight and knocked heavily on the handrail of the stairs.

Guan Chuchu, who didn't know what was going on, was startled by the loud noise and jumped a little. In the next second, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and a pale face was reflected again.

Guan Chuchu: "..."

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! !

The scream was stuck in her throat, if she didn't still have a sliver of reason to know where they are now, and felt that the facial features looked a little familiar, she might really have to stick it out.

Lin You: "...ah, it's me."

"Something went wrong." She looked at the flashlight that was on and off at that time and said "tsk", "It didn't turn on when I first picked it up."

Guan Chuchu didn't expect that she was almost frightened by her teammates, so she leaned on the armrest and gasped for breath, and then looked at the white flashlight beam, and realized that everything had to be illuminated by it to make a gloomy look look.

Even so, the heavy psychological shadow is still hard to erase, especially when they bumped into such a ghost just now.When walking down again, she couldn't help looking around with sympathy, for fear that another one would appear out of nowhere.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the whole space, maybe it was too quiet, but the skull couldn't hold back anymore, and began to hum a song.

Lin You: "..."

She really wanted to complain that even if a normal person had never heard this song, he could still hear every note in tune.

But...forget it.

A little noise is always good, at least to cover up the erratic crying.

"Sister You," Guan Chuchu seemed to think the same way, but didn't comment on it, "Was that just now..."

"Should be SCP-087-01."

In the record file of the SCP containment, the derivatives of that item will be recorded in the form of "XXX-01" and "XXX-02".This is a very representative example.

But neither it nor SCP-087's real body has yet to be determined.

Lin You said casually: "Now that I said this, I suddenly remembered. Anyway, everyone has no nose, so it's better to go and have a rhinoplasty with Voldemort. I also have... er, someone asked around and listed it Which plastic surgery hospital has a strong list, if you have a chance, everyone will plant grass and pull grass—"

"..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Guan Chuchu always felt that the crying stopped for a moment.

The surrounding air also suddenly cooled down.

Damn, she turned her head and looked at it again and again, for fear that this wave of ridicule would draw out the master just now again.So much so that when the child's faint crying sounded again, Guan Chuchu actually felt a strange sense of peace of mind - stop, I can't think about it anymore!She felt that her thoughts about ghosts were going to be taken astray!

Slowing down, slowing down, stepping on this round and round, like an endless loop of stairs, and hearing the empty echo inside the iron plate, still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Even Lin You was like this. At first, she was counting how many levels she had gone down, but she gave up after a while.In the face of the unknown SCP-087 "stairwell", this approach is meaningless.

They haven't seen the flat-headed boy who was lured in so far, which proves that the situation ahead is far more complicated than imagined.

however--

When there is no way out, the dark willows and bright flowers are always a surprise.

After turning around again, the flashlight that was about to fail was finally completely useless. Lin You was thinking about knocking on it again, but her vision suddenly widened.

They are obviously underground.

But at this moment, when they were standing at the bottom of the stairs, with the chaotic darkness above their heads, the scene that came into view was much brighter, which made people feel a strange and misplaced sense of separation.

The sobbing that had been lingering in her ears disappeared at some point. Lin You, who was not quite used to the brightness changes at first glance, narrowed her eyes. If the stairwell above her head was already dirty enough, here The situation will only get worse.

The wall couldn't see its original color, it was covered with reddish-brown stains, and there were occasional messy graffiti on it.They were standing on a small porch-like platform, with a small door in front of them and a winding corridor behind them.

Lin You just felt that the light was weird, and when she stepped forward, she saw that it was dark again.One section of this corridor is bright and the other is dark. Although there are no light bulbs installed, there is a little light source every other section, or the ceiling above the head or the floor under the feet lights up, without any rules.

Guan Chuchu was still thinking about whether to put the heart-slit bear down, but changed her mind when she saw the dirty ground. Although there were dust and blood stains on it, it was better than this unknown stain.

Lin You took the lead and walked in.

"This..." Guan Chuchu originally wanted to say "Why is this place so strange", but thinking about these SCP containment items, it is not surprising, and then changed the words to something else, "There is no sound here, Where shall we find it?"

SCP-087, the "stairwell", is full of strange phenomena.Even the weeping sound that lured the intruders to go down quietly disappeared after reaching the bottom of the stairs, replaced by waves of howling wind.

"Let's see them one by one."

Lin You poked her head over and looked over, "So as not to miss anything."

They bypassed the pile of debris and a cart at the door of the nearest room, and checked the situation in the room one by one.

"Is this a new type of skateboard invented by humans?" Lizard said respectfully.

Lin You: "..."

No, you skateboard freak, is your first reaction to everything is a skateboard?

They just passed this utility room—it was said to be a utility room, but in fact, all the things were piled up at the door, and the wooden shelves inside were all empty, and they walked along the maze-like corridors for a long time before they saw the next room .

Lin You pushed open the half-hidden door.

This room is even more outrageous than the one just now. Rows of tables and chairs are arranged like a classroom, and there are two lockers standing behind it.She was about to greet her to go in and have a look, when she turned around and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The black shadow slanting down from the corner of the wall swayed.

At first it was a point, then it became the size of a head,

Something waddled out of there.

At first glance, it still looks like a human being, but its whole body is festered, with only a layer of skin left. The lips are opened sluggishly, revealing the muscles and tendons under the skin, which is enough to make people have nightmares all night long.From the shoulder to the fingertips, a viscous unknown liquid dripped down, dripping on the iron plate on the ground. No one wanted to know what would happen if they were touched.

Guan Chuchu screamed subconsciously—until she was pulled.

"This, this can't be that kind of—" when she started to run, she had time to say out of breath, "That kind of patrolling monster?!"

"Nine out of ten!" Lin You hurriedly said.

It doesn't make much sense to say this now. The moment that guy saw them, his originally slow movements suddenly sped up. Even now, the distance between him and the two of them is still getting closer.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before being caught up.

Someone said something in a low voice, Guan Chuchu gritted her teeth and parted ways at the next fork in the road.

The so-called "patrol monster" caught up with the one who was running slower without hesitation. Lin You gasped for breath, but when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind her, she could only rush forward even more desperately.

Lizard: "Do you need me..."

"It's not necessary yet," Lin You said without turning her head, "I'll talk about it later!"

The most uncomfortable thing should be the skull. It was bumped up and down, left and right in the box, and there was always a time when it didn't get bumped.Lin You reckoned that if it wasn't for the skeleton left, she would probably vomit.

The next second, she stopped abruptly.

The skull, which was finally no longer bumpy, just breathed a sigh of relief, and when it looked up again, it couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's over, it thought sadly, my life is over.

Might as well keep getting hit.

In front of you is a wall.

— dead end.

"Okay," Lin You suddenly smiled, she turned around, "Just stand there and don't move."

SCP-087-2: "?"

It may not be able to understand human words, but it was also stunned for a moment because of the prey's sudden abandonment of resistance. It was because of this second of stupefaction that the screams behind it moved from far to near.

Guan Chuchu: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

She was pushing the scooter, with the wind blowing under her feet, she closed her eyes and rushed straight to this side.Lin You dodged ahead of time, but the patrol monster whose back was turned - SCP-087-2 was not so lucky.

The iron plate was heavily jammed on its ankles, and Guan Chuchu's strength in a berserk state cannot be underestimated. While the monster fell on his back on the cart indistinctly, the person holding the handle also let go.

It was about to struggle to get up, when Lin You turned around and kicked the wheel that was already moving rapidly under the action of inertia.

"Bang" sound——

It overturned the wall with the monster and the car, crashing into a "big" shaped potsticker.
