I Heard That I'm Super Fierce

SCP-079: "…………"

SCP-079: "???????"

As one of the rare AI programs with independent thinking ability today, it crashed for almost two or three seconds.

It's not that it doesn't believe what SCP-682 says, it's just—

The miniature camera in the dark rotated quietly, and the "old AI" tried to observe the few humans standing in the center of the hall from all directions.

The sarcophagus that was originally placed here has long since disappeared. It has witnessed the whole process of Abel's submission, and also knows what methods the woman used.

It's like it saw how she designed SCP-682 and Abel with its own eyes. Although it understood how the other party played a role in it, the "old AI" still doubted whether SCP-682's statement would be too exaggerated.

No more characters were displayed on the display screen for a while, and at this moment, Jian Mingjia let out a "huh".

"Youyou," she said, "is there a card in your card case?"

Lin You: "Huh?"

"Oh," she also looked down, and casually explained Fa Xiao's doubts, "Before I came to you—I didn't expect you to bring it, I thought that since I wanted to break through their security to snatch Abel , I took the time to choose a card."

The subsequent journey took more than an hour, plus the time to rendezvous and deal with the patrol, and the CD was refreshed for her to summon SCP-682.

"Although I knew there was an "old AI" after that, I kept it."

she laughed.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I specifically want to guard against you, but just in case." Lin You shook the card sleeve at the screen, "—Have you heard of 'Ring Virus'?"

The "old AI" was dumbfounded.

What is ring virus?

"It's okay if you don't know."

Lin You explained kindly, "A long time ago, there was a person named Sadako Yamamura whose superpower combined with smallpox, and after she died, it became a brand new virus."

"She uses viruses to kill people, and she can use thoughts to manipulate images. I asked her specifically, and she said that she can also infect programs."

"I originally wanted her to directly disable the security system here, so you don't have to bother when you come here." Lin You said thoughtfully, "But I suggest that you better not make any small moves, you You should be aware of the consequences of your own virus."

She counted with her fingers.

"Wherever you go, she follows that, blue screen of death occurs at every turn, the program crashes, taking up your memory, and a bunch of small messy advertisements that can't be turned off keep popping up, ah, I don't know where her curse of dying in seven days is. Can the computer program work as well—"

SCP-079: "..."

The Immortal Lizard typed silently.

[Look, I didn't lie to you. 】

Now I know that what it says is from the heart.

SCP-079: "…………"

...it bro was right!It listens to its brothers!

If it was still on the verge of death and trying desperately to test it before, it has completely stopped thinking about it now.

"No," the mechanical voice replied dully. Fortunately, the voice was originally such a stiff tune, and I couldn't hear how broken the "old AI" was. "No."

"That's good." Lin You nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you have seen SCP-682," she frowned, "should you let us go?"

What dare the "old AI" dare not to obey? It honestly opened the floodgate leading to the "Erasure Corridor" that was dropped to stop them.

The damp traces left by the discharge of seawater in the corridor have dried up a lot, but fortunately, the staff in the security zone at the end have not yet shown signs of waking up.

But just as they passed by, an employee moaned indistinctly, which startled Geng Qinghe.He hurriedly looked over there, only to see that the other party only moved his lips a few times, and then he was relieved, and carefully raised his foot and walked around the edge.

At this point, the invasion can be regarded as a successful conclusion.Lin You and the others re-boarded the elevator - it was the only exit of this containment area.

The 200-meter-long elevator is equipped with a reinforced explosion-proof door every 50 meters, but everything is under the control of the "old AI".

When the car door slowly opened to both sides, Lin You stepped out and returned to the long-lost ground.

She didn't make a special trip to take back the Immortal Lizard, anyway, she would come back by herself as soon as the hour came, so she simply left it to catch up with the "old AI".

It took them a while to take the elevator, and now the time is about the same. Lin You looked back and watched the sea water slowly submerge the elevator shaft again, covering up a little trace of their presence, and said with a smile: "It's time to go."

Her words were not aimed at the few people in the same company, and SCP-079 could clearly hear that she was referring to herself.It held back for a long time, thinking of the advice given to itself by the Immortal Lizard, it didn't hold back a single word.In the end, the USB flash drive inserted into the console had to slowly become a card.

[Name: SCP-079 "Old AI"]

[Card number: 036]

【Level: SR】

[Remarks: Using a program developed by a college student as a carrier, an intelligent AI that spontaneously evolved.After being spliced ​​into multiple computers during a containment breach, it has completely evolved at the current state of technology.As long as you have it, you can become the top hacker!But recently, for some reason, I have fallen into the fear of unknown viruses. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will download anti-virus software as much as possible, and I am still trying to write similar programs by myself. Why bother? 】

... Lin Youxin said that "why bother" is very spiritual.

She absent-mindedly put away the card that had fallen on the operating table, but she was thinking of the butler who said when they jumped off the helicopter that they would come over later, and she hasn't seen anyone until now, so don't worry about the trouble .

What a coincidence.

Less than half a minute after this thought appeared in her mind, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the glass lightly.

The sound startled several people, Lin You and Yuan Wei took the lead to turn their heads, and saw the butler standing outside the half-hidden door.

"Excuse me," Mr. Deeds said gravely, "Someone wants to see you."

As soon as these words came out, Lin You guessed about the reason why he came so late - probably because he had some negotiations with that person before coming to report.And judging by the appearance of the butler, the person coming here will not be a simple role.She thought for a few seconds, then nodded, opened the door and walked out.

"Who is it?" Lin You asked.

Before she finished speaking, she just lowered her head when she realized that she had asked a stupid question, and immediately raised her hand to signal the butler that there was no need to say any more.

When they first approached here, they knocked out the patrolling security guards one by one with the cover of nearby trees and bushes.

But now these branches and leaves are all withered and drooping dryly, leaving a pair of shells that have been eroded by mold.

The ground was dry and cracked, and the leaves that had fallen on it were so decayed that they would turn to ashes if touched.

When she saw the person standing in the middle within a 20-meter radius who was looking at these dry bushes with regret, Lin You suddenly felt that she had put away the "old AI" too early.

In this way, if the visitor is not kind, just bring him in and—

Unfortunately, it is too late to think about this now.

Before Lin You, Yuan Wei let out a cry of surprise.

"You are the--"

"That's right." The strange man said with a smile, "We met last Thanksgiving - when I was helping Dr. Franks sort out the materials at your place."

"do not worry."

His tone is gentle and polite, but there is a strange mechanical feeling, just like his arms that have been transformed into metal, "I am not hostile."

He looked in his early thirties, with black hair, blue eyes, and dark skin.The clavicle and the hands under the sleeves glowed with metallic luster, and his appearance was as good as his brother.

"Abel has been taken care of by you." He smiled.

...God is so grateful.

Lin You was rarely guilty.

SCP-073, "Cain".

——That’s right, Abel’s brother.

Cain plowed and Abel tended the sheep.The two had a clear division of labor, but because one day there was a sacrifice, God accepted Abel's sacrifice but not Cain's.All the conflicts broke out in the past, and the latter murdered his younger brother out of jealousy, and was punished by God because of this—wherever he went, there would be a barren land without a blade of grass.

And God also gave him a certain protection, just like the little girl, any damage to Cain would bounce back to the attacker himself.

He wandered for tens of thousands of years, and now he was also taken into custody by the Foundation in an accident.

Over the long years, Cain has become proficient in most languages ​​in the world, and after reflecting on his crimes over and over again, his character has been worn away and he has become gentle and helpful.

Because of his terrible memory that can memorize all the contents of the [-]-page dictionary in one and a half minutes, the top management of the Foundation approved him to participate in the backup of all data.

It's a backup, but it's actually asking him to write it all down.

"What is he talking about?" Lin You asked Yuan Wei in a low voice.

The latter also quietly approached her ear.

"Last Thanksgiving," Iris whispered, "Abel and the others went on a temporary mission, and my team stayed at the base. Then he came to 'backup' our operation report, and then left before Abel came back .”

Right.

Lin You thought.

After all, Abel would run away when he saw the guy who killed him.

All the while, Cain smiled and watched them whisper without saying a word.

Until Lin You spoke again.

"How did you get here?" she asked suspiciously.

If she remembered correctly, although the foundation allowed Cain to move freely, the custody measures for him were still very strict.

Cain just smiled.

"I happened to hear about your escape, so I thought I might come looking for Abel," he said, "so I removed my tracking device and did the same thing as you."

Lin You: "..."

He was talking about grabbing a helicopter?

Cain paused.

"Anyway," he said, "my only wish now is to repent of my past crimes, although... Abel will never forgive me."

"But if you've already taken him away, there's no point in staying here."

"—Would you mind bringing an extra person?"

Lin You said "Oh".

The person in front of him is equivalent to a mobile Foundation database, with all confidential information in his head, and his own anti-material.In the future, if you get to this dungeon again, you will definitely make a profit without losing money.

more importantly--

Their helicopter didn't have much fuel left. After flying for such a long time, I'm afraid there is even less fuel left, and they won't be able to fly very far.

"Where's the helicopter you snatched?" she asked.

As long as you leave here, it should be equivalent to clearing the customs.

This trip was worth it, Lin You thought happily when she thought of her full illustrated book—it was a bumper harvest.

The huge roar of the helicopter passed overhead, and a security guard in the security room was startled awake.

He didn't get it at first until the pain in the back of his neck reminded him what was going on.

The security guard jumped up in horror, and immediately pressed the emergency communication button on the console.

It's hard to die, at their location, the first one to receive a call for help is the nearest site, No. 24.

— the site director's head is about to explode.

"Even Abel was taken away?!" He asked in disbelief.

...in fact more than that.

"Also, and..." the subordinate answered bravely, "Maybe there is Cain."

Site Director: "???!!!!!!"

"Can you say that again?!"

"That's it."

The agent sighed, "Cain's signal has disappeared. According to the closest position of the tracker we detected, it should be to meet with them—"

"Excluding those lost at our site, there are also known Iris and SCP-682." He said, "There are also many SCPs missing from the NO.19 site, including SCP-096 (the shy 'person'), SCP- 173, SCP-079 (old 'AI'), SCP-106 (scary old man), SCP-352 (Grandma Yaga) and SCP-049 (Plague Doctor)', since we captured the remaining Chaos Insurgency in time, basically Pretty sure they didn't do it, so that means—"

Site Director: "…"

He didn't want to hear it.

Who are these people? !Yan Guo has never plucked hair so hard!

"Get out," the site director felt very tired, and waved his hands again and again, "You go out first."

Pressing his temple, he took out again the report that had caused the catastrophe.

[Item #: SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED]]

The director took a deep breath and crossed out the goddamn "Safe" that was originally marked after "Object Level".

Considering the threat of the opponent controlling many "Keter" level SCPs, and the sudden defection of Cain who knew all the information of the Foundation—

He hesitated for a long time, and filled in an extremely rare level.

【Object Level: Apollyon】

Means demon, that is - currently uncontainable.
