Chapter 96: .foundation

To put it simply, the SCP Foundation can be said to be a story solitaire for horror literature lovers around the world.
After gathering many whimsical ideas, the setting tends to be perfect, and a complete world system is gradually formed.
Under this virtual world view, danger lurks in people’s daily lives. People may be awakened by supernatural creatures or objects at any time. Sometimes it’s a house, sometimes a monster, and sometimes it’s just a Teddy. Bear.
In order to protect the interests of mankind, the foundation was born.
The foundation is not restricted by any country, but has huge human and financial resources. They dispatched special agents to all parts of the world, with the goal of containing all anomalous individuals that would affect human activities.
The purpose of the Foundation is to control, contain and protect. As long as it is not a serious threat to human safety, they will be more inclined to contain anomalous creatures by effective means rather than execute them.
Contained individuals are sequentially entered into the Foundation's roster and assigned the number "SCP-XXX". Of course, the real fact is that fans in reality write documents of their fantasy monsters and submit them to the official website. If approved, their ideas will be treated as official SCP products and entered into the database.
After gathering the inspiration of so many people, the foundation story system now has more than 4,000 monsters.
It does not include those killed.
Being thrown into such a mode world is worthy of the S grade difficulty level, Lin You thought.
Unfortunately, she is quite interested in this. Although she has not done it herself, she has also browsed many items and has a little understanding of the SCP Foundation's settings.
Thousands of monsters were kept in various Foundation sites. Managing so many anomalous individuals—some of them might even cause the end of the world—is really not an easy task. Some creatures do not stay peacefully and try to breach containment every once in a while. Given their destructive power, they may also cause a large-scale containment breach.
When he met the shy "person" and the epidemic doctor at Ruyue Station, Lin You had a foreboding. He felt that the game "Box" might want to do something with the background of the Foundation's containment breach. Threw it in.
There is no doubt that since the names of the copies are all called "Containment Breach," they must have not ran away on a large scale this time. I am afraid that there is a problem with the entire site, but I do not know which SCPs are contained here.
After thinking about it, Lin You soon realized the biggest problem now.
-Her card slot!
She quickly opened the illustration book to count.
Sure enough, there are a total of forty card slots, and 25 are filled, which means that she has only fifteen empty slots left—
Damn, she closed the illustration book "slap" and had to pick it carefully.
She caught the movement in her ears, not from outside, but from herself.
Even though the clothes were changed and the backpack was still there, the waking skull seemed to be a little dissatisfied that he was still locked in it.
"Quiet," Lin You said unceremoniously, "wait for me to see the situation before letting you out."
The skull is in peace.
Putting away the incredibly stingy picture book, Lin You looked at her attire again, which was very familiar.
The settings of the SCP Foundation were supplemented little by little by numerous documents on the official website, which resulted in novels, games, and animations. Her one, Lin You, who twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers, often appeared in it.
This has to mention the management system here.
In charge of the foundation is the top council, including them, which is divided into five levels: A, B, C, D, and E. But the lowest level is not E-level, but D-level personnel.
They are generally death row prisoners who committed serious crimes. They are dispatched by the Foundation to maintain and even personally experiment with some dangerous SCP items. For example, let a criminal who was a tattoo artist try to draw a picture of 096 against a photo in a deep-sea submarine. sketch.
Forty minutes later, he was angrily torn apart by SCP-096, which had dived into the ocean floor.
D-class personnel are defined as "consumable", even if they do not die in the experiment, they will be executed at the end of the month every month.
And now, Lin You knew that he had also become a glorious consumable person.
It seems that the players' settings in this dungeon are D-class personnel at the containment breached Foundation site, and they depend on themselves.
Of course, for Lin You, this sentence might be replaced by a life-and-death dissatisfaction.
She looked around, as always, trying to find something that might come in handy.
Of course, there is nothing.
It was really impossible for the Foundation to leave weapons for the heinous D-class personnel, and even the room they were staying in was only four or five square meters in size.
A narrow single bed, a wooden chair, a flush toilet and a standing sink are all she can see.
Perhaps there is something else—Lin You reached out and picked up the document on the chair. It was just a thin piece of paper and informed that she had become a Class D personnel from now on, and gave her a serial number.
She didn't care about this, and finally turned her gaze to the iron door that blocked the cell.
It stands to reason that D-class personnel will be guarded very strictly, and they are also escorted by agents equipped with real guns when conducting experiments in the game.
But then again, it was in a safe situation, given that the entire base may have lost control now-
Lin You crouched down, buckled the gap between the iron gate and the ground, and lifted up with all his strength.
--Promoted.
The foundation's technology is very advanced, and the protective door rises almost silently under her support. After barely holding out a gap that was enough for people to pass, Lin You quickly bends over and swiftly drilled underneath.
As soon as she let go, the iron gate fell back again, dividing the two sides into completely different spaces.
When the protective door was closed again, the vision suddenly dimmed. The light in the room was brightly lit, but the corridor was dim.
This long corridor was supposed to be used to detain D-class personnel, and the people behind the iron gates did not know if they had escaped or are still trapped there.
There are too many cells, Lin You can't confirm them one by one. She was the only one in the corridor right now, and seeing no one in Jian Mingjia or Geng Qinghe, she could only hope that she could join them later.
As for now--
Card pool! She is coming!
Lin You still couldn't figure out what terrain the site was, so she had to walk forward sullenly. Just a few steps through the corridor, she saw an extra shadow on the ground.
The same man in the orange uniform fell face down there, densely covered with ears.
Unexpectedly, someone would get cold so soon, Lin You thought, but it was not clear whether it was the player or the original NPC.
She was about to go around when she heard someone not far away gasped.
After hearing the reputation, Lin You saw a young girl who was also dressed in orange.
The latter originally stared at the corpse, and saw her as soon as he raised his head, and couldn't even bother to confirm who was on the ground. She looked overjoyed and hurried over, "...You too?"
Lin You: "The player?"
"Yes, right, let's go to meet up." The girl sighed and nodded quickly. "Everyone is waiting in that office."
Hearing the word "everyone", Lin You's heart moved, thinking about how she might meet Jian Mingjia and the others.
Compared with Lin You who had been in the room for a while, the girl seemed to have been familiar with the terrain nearby. Watching the movement carefully, she walked forward, and finally opened a door familiarly.
The office lights are brighter than the bright spots in the corridor, but they are also limited. Seven or eight people had gathered sparsely inside. Seeing that the girl brought a new teammate back, she didn't care too much, so she just looked at it twice.
"Where is Chen Cheng?" someone asked.
"Dead," the girl said, "the whole body is full of ears."
The questioner couldn't help but curl his lips.
"I remember a bear was like this..." another man who seemed to know a little bit about SCP muttered, "It can make people be covered by ears and die suddenly. Did you meet that?"
Lin You glanced, but she was a little disappointed when she didn't see the two people she knew well.
In this case, she had better find an excuse to act alone, and it was convenient to collect the card.
It's just... there are really many participants in this copy.
There are ten in this room alone. Considering that they haven't seen Jian Mingjia, they may be there elsewhere, and they may add up to more than Kisaragi Station.
No wonder, it is an S-level copy anyway, and it must be easier to get out than then. If there are not more people in line, it may be all dead in less than an hour.
This office should have been left by the researcher who ran for his life in a hurry, but it was picked up by them right now-the players standing here are all D-class.
Everyone was wearing the same orange prison uniforms, and the recognition rate suddenly dropped a lot. In this case, it is still a bit conspicuous to have a shiny bald head standing behind the crowd.
Although Lin You didn't want to act with them, she was quite curious about the plans of these people, and walked over to hear a few words.
"Amitabha Buddha." The bald head reflexively greeted after noticing that there were more people nearby.
Lin You: "..."
Bald head: "..."
The latter suddenly reacted to his failure, and Lin You also remembered half of the post he saw last time, "Couldn't you be—"
What kind of monk.
"Hush! Hush!"
The bald head pulled her sleeves, and quickly pulled her aside before others noticed.
"I'm used to this setting myself," he annoyed, "subconsciously this is the sentence."
"So you really are the one who said that you are overwhelmed in the post?"
Lin You curiously asked, "How can you get this ability?"
"Hi." The bald head waved his hand.
"I saw the post, and I didn't expect someone to mention me." He said, "I have an elder in my family who runs the temple. I stayed there when I was a child. I just said a few words after I entered the game and reflexed..."
"Forcibly shaved his head to become a monk, and went everywhere in a robes." Bald head-no, Meng Shao said bitterly.
He is bald and stronger.
"You have seen it too," he said faintly, "this time there must be a lot of dungeons. I don't want to be too eye-catching, because they are just ordinary bald heads.
It happened that a teammate heard them whispering and couldn't help turning around.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Nothing to say."
Meng Shao immediately said: "Let's talk about the number of copies this time."
"No," these words immediately evoked the sympathy of the teammates, "the lineup is very fast."
"Hey? Me too!"
"I haven't had time to ask, but you are all?" The girl who led Linyou widened her eyes, "Me too, I usually have to wait for a minute and a half, this time the second row is a little uncomfortable. "
"Could it be so?"
After being silent for a while, another teammate opened his mouth and said: "After the passing line is drawn, all players above the passing line throw into the S book?"
...It's really possible.
"Isn't there no upper limit?" Someone scratched his head. "I must have brushed it off. If only there were more powerful people around."
"Hey."
Meng Shao quickly joined the conversation as soon as it was able to divert their attention, "such as ‘that’—"
"'That woman'?" the teammate answered enthusiastically.
"A mysterious person in the ghost world? I've read that post too. Wouldn't you really be able to see the big guy?"
Lin You: "..."
She stood with her arms on one side, and looked left and right.
The question is, who are they talking about?
