I'm afraid of non-human beings

Lin You just pulled out the first sheet of paper, and was startled by the exclamation marks in black and white on it.

【warn! ! ! 】

[This file has been protected by a meme-killing agent, and anyone who reads it without authorization will be executed immediately. 】

Lin You: "..."

Guan Chuchu: "..."

What is this?

Although she didn't know what a "meme erasure catalyst" was, it didn't prevent her from becoming instinctively wary of the word "execution".Guan Chuchu almost subconsciously looked up at the flat-headed brother who handed the document to them, and found that the other party was still frowning as before, and there was nothing unusual in his expression.

She turned around and was about to say something when she saw that Lin You had already pulled out the next page decisively.

——Are you so brave? !

One second, two seconds, time passed under Guan Chuchu's intense observation, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he was really sure that nothing happened.She patted her chest, and thought that after reading those two lines of writing, even if it was a blank piece of paper, she was really scared to death.

……Wait a moment.

Blank paper? ? ?

The panic just now dissipated immediately, replaced by full of doubts, Guan Chuchu leaned forward without thinking too much, and scanned from top to bottom several times, but she didn't see any clues, so she had no choice but to She pinned her hopes on someone more reliable in her eyes.

"Sister You," she hesitated, "what do you think?"

"According to my observation..."

Lin You spoke slowly, so that the person listening unconsciously held her breath.

"It's really a blank slate."

Guan Chuchu: "..."

Don't breathe too much!

"So in the end..." She also calmed down, and scratched her cheeks for no reason, "I thought it was so scary when it was done like this."

Lin You said "hmm", "Don't worry, let's take a look later."

As she spoke, she turned another page.

Unlike before, this time, there is content on paper.

However, what appeared on it were all scattered and disorderly words, and some of them even had only strokes left. They were separated by large blank spaces and black blocks of different lengths. Realized mosaics.Lin You stared at the color blocks that seemed to be scattered in different positions, and always felt that those blank spaces were artificially erased.

"What's going on?" Guan Chuchu muttered.

Lin You, who was also thinking about this question, moved her fingers, stuffed the two sheets of paper back into the kraft paper bag, and took out the remaining stack.

They went through the entire document, and could barely piece together only a few words.

"'If'...'See'...'Change', whatever." Guan Chuchu raised her head, "Have you already seen it?"

"Yeah." The flat-haired boy just replied, then scratched his hair in embarrassment as if suddenly remembering something.

"Ah, by the way, haven't you introduced yourself yet?" He smiled coyly, "My name is Han Fei, and I took care of you before."

"That warning also scared me a lot at the time, but after all, it was found here, so I had to bite the bullet and look down. Fortunately, nothing happened."

Guan Chuchu: "..."

Disrespectful, you are really reckless.

"I'm ashamed to say that, I don't know what that means, but since I didn't get any response after reading it, then the warning may have been a prank..."

"No." Lin You interrupted him loudly, "That's not sure."

"The concept of 'meme' is a bit troublesome to explain..." She rubbed her chin.

"In a nutshell, the Foundation uses it as a means of encrypting files in some way. For example, reading certain files without the corresponding memetic vaccine will actually cause the heart to stop beating."

"So the warning may be true, but there's another layer of consideration to be added... Know 'reality benders'?"

"……Eh?"

There was no need to answer, Lin You understood just by looking at their expressions, and continued.

"To put it simply, they are capable users who can distort reality with their own will. Everyone's performance and limitations are different, but most of them can affect what they perceive and understand—how, does it correspond? Have you mentioned the words just now?"

Guan Chuchu reacted abruptly, and was about to blurt out "It's really like this", when Lin You shrugged.

"Although I have some doubts about which reality bender caused the current situation and dumped the damaged files in this place...but it's too early to make a conclusion based on this."

When the few people were relatively silent, the movement elsewhere became very clear—the crunching sound of wheels rolling over iron bars came from far and near, and finally stopped slowly in front of the door.

Both Lin You and Guan Chuchu were mentally prepared, but Han Fei, who was still ignorant of the previous situation, was startled. They watched the empty cart slowly appear at the door, and a small car poked out from the corner. Triangular head.

"Oh, so you are here." Lizard Cthulhu narrowed his slender pupils happily, and greeted him in a familiar tone, "Isn't that the little brother I met before? I found it!"

Han Fei: "..."

Reason tells him that it is better not to look into why things turned out like this now.

"Why are you back?" Lin You asked, "Aren't you chasing that one?"

Lizard Cthulhu: "Ah, here."

"Come on, hurry up."

"Well, I did run after it in the first place," it said slowly, "and then I lost track of the turn."

Guan Chuchu: "...is gone?"

The lizard nodded its small triangular head, "Isn't it, it disappeared out of thin air."

Lin You suddenly remembered something, she turned her head, Han Fei met her gaze and said "ah", "I was going to say this just now."

"That guy can hide."

"If you are sneak attacked in that state..." He rolled up his sleeves, "it will become like this."

Guan Chuchu gasped with a "hiss".

The scratches on that piece of flesh had festered into black and red. Although the bones were not visible yet, this level of wound was almost impossible to deal with in their current situation.

Fortunately, there is also a "little doctor" who is also unreasonable.

Seeing the wounded man, the heart-sewing bear staggered over, took off a piece of cloth and tried to bandage it.The round and furry "bear paw" was extremely dexterous in handling the surgical tools. While it was treating the wound, Lin You walked out the door.

Nothing.

There was no sound to be heard, and no sign of any "living things" to be seen.

"Sister You...?" Hearing Guan Chuchu's doubtful voice, Lin You turned around and saw Xiong Xiong, who sewed his heart, healed the sore that was almost rotten.

Han Fei also looked over, moving his wrist, as if he could move freely.

"In that case..."

She pondered for a while, "Come on."

-

It is said that the greatest fear of human beings is the unknown.

An enemy who doesn't even know where it is is more worrying than a monster standing in front of it.

Lin You walked alone in the corridor, surrounded by groggy darkness, only a small light spot less than the length of a thumb floating in front of her, barely illuminating a small field of vision—the shameful person trapped in the body of the lizard The evil god can do this.

Whether it is to explore the remaining rooms or to find a suspected exit, it is impossible not to rule out possible dangers first.Otherwise, it would be too late to be happy, and a transparent monster from behind would pounce on it and finish playing directly.

There is no choice but to take risks for this.

She and Guan Chuchu split into two groups, in order to lure that guy out first.

But after such a large circle, there was no sound from there.After turning the corner again, Lin You simply stood still, and listened carefully to the movement around her.

No way, the two big living people really lost their attraction, right?

The ball of light floated up and down in the air, illuminating the gap between the iron plates under the feet. Although it could be seen that it was suspended in the air, it was hard to see what was underneath.

"Bow your head!" A voice suddenly came out of her pocket.

Lin You, who was already looking at the railing, suddenly bent down reflexively, and when she looked up again, she saw a few dark fingerprints on the wall at the same level as her head.

Lin You: "..."

It seems that her side is more hateful!

Without saying a word, she raised her legs and rushed forward.

Among the messy footsteps, only a little noise from elsewhere can be barely discerned - although I don't know how it did it, but in this form, it seems to be much lighter than before.

...In this way, it becomes much more difficult to judge the location.

In the violent turbulence, a head stuck out of her pocket.

"I said I should bring a skateboard!" Lizard screamed.

"Forget about the skateboard," she ordered out of breath, "help me find something to trip it over!"

Immediately, something floated up in the debris pile and flew straight back——

Lin You didn't know if it worked or not, but the voice behind her seemed to be a little slower.Not daring to delay for a moment, she rushed towards a certain door behind the corner.

Nearly.

The voice caught up again.

closer.

"Open the door!" she called.

The wooden door was suddenly opened from the inside, and Lin You rushed in without delay.And the transparent creature that was chasing was almost behind her, and she clearly felt a gust of wind blowing behind her neck——

The monster, eager to hide its shame, couldn't wait to get closer, and raised its broken arm high.

Just one more-

Lin You suddenly turned around and smiled.

"Merry-go-round," she said.

SCP-087-2: "???"

She made a wrong step and dodged with precision.

"Wow--"

Colorful paints poured down, a small part spilled on the ground, while more remained in the air—outlining the figure of a humanoid monster that was knocked crookedly.

It's like restoring the famous painting "The Scream".

After being summoned, the framed picture that had been hanging on the door for a long time, the woman wiped her mouth, and dazedly retracted into the picture again.

SCP-087-2 that lost its last bit of advantage: "………"

It shuts itself off.
