I'm not joking, Lin You is serious.
Since you have to stare at SCP-173, you can't see its face when you encounter SCP-096. Then if the two are dispatched together, the enemy will fall into the dilemma of blinking or not blinking - blinking will be killed by 173, and if you don't close your eyes, you will be torn apart by 096.
It's almost unsolvable!
Don't worry about the two of them fighting by themselves. The foundation's experiments proved that 096 actually reacted at the moment the light reached the retina, and it didn't matter to statues without biological tissues, and it was still invincible after being provoked.
Although the range of accidental injury is a bit large, as soon as five minutes are up, it will return to the illustrated book by itself, which can still be regarded as controllable.
... Oops, the more I think about it, the more my heart beats.
Still, one of the biggest problems lay before her.
— How is she supposed to get this guy away
To date, even the Foundation has not researched the origin of SCP-173. It was suddenly moved to Site Nineteen on a certain day. The Foundation's solution was to keep it in a closed and locked containment chamber. If something has to go in, there must be no less than three people entering, and two of them must maintain eye contact with SCP-173 at all times, and remind each other before blinking.
It's not that you can't alternately blink with one eye open and the other closed, no one knows what's going to happen that way. In addition, it is not completely controllable to do so, in case one is not grasped well and closes both eyes at the same time for a moment-your bento is hot, please.
Lin You walked around the statue.
The plaster statue stayed where it was, bored, thinking that I would have to stare at a worthless statue, with an oil bottle hanging from its pouty mouth. But no matter what, with it watching, SCP-173 could only stand still and let Lin You look at it.
She recalled the cards she had received.
So far, those ghosts have more or less expressed their willingness to go with her, even 096 actively followed in order to chase after the Gap Girl. But in the face of SCP-173, there is no possibility of communication at all—
wrong.
Seeing the plaster statue on the ground, she suddenly realized.
Not all guys were consulted by her either.
The Gap Girl and the plaster statue were brought by Xue Yao when she joined the team. They may not be willing to do so themselves, but it is more due to Xue Yao's reasons.
In other words, if this point is exaggerated, maybe it is not impossible to take it away forcibly, anyway, it is just a statue that can't move when it is looked at. Whether it's a card change or not, Lin You speculates that the real key point of the judgment is not her own will. As for if she proves that she has the ability to take away SCP-173, maybe it will be.
As for how to take a statue - how about trying to move it
But SCP-173 is made up of concrete and steel bars, and the lightest weighs hundreds of kilograms, so she definitely can't move it. The guy selected by random drawing may not be able to move, not to mention that she still wants to save this opportunity for a possible crisis in the future.
Nyarlathotep could get out by himself, and he could certainly move it. But it is estimated that this man, with the status of a majestic evil god, can do things and demolish the house, so he won't condescend to do the moving work.
Turning her eyes, Lin Youxin said that she might have thought of a suitable candidate.
She reached for her backpack and took out the official event rewards from it.
The small silver handbell was missing a hammer, and Lin You shook the bell lightly twice. There was no sound from the handbell, but there was a soft ringing that came to my ears from elsewhere for no reason. Her gaze scanned the surrounding area from left to right.
"The Butler Bell", also formerly the SCP's containment.
A near-omnipotent butler can be summoned, who will do his best to fulfill the requests of others, and the way he appears—
Lin You looked around the corner.
— usually the nearest corner.
A small, well-dressed white male with a steady gait, wearing a tuxedo and tie neatly tied. His hair was scrupulously brushed back, and the lenses reflected a silvery light in the darkness.
"good afternoon."
He saluted with a smile.
"You can call me Diz, what can I do for you?"
"Of course," Lin You said immediately, and she glanced at the statue that was still standing there, "Can you move it?"
The butler followed suit.
"oh."
A little surprised, he said, "I'm not sure, but I can try."
With that said, he walked up to SCP-173. With his arms across the armpit of the statue, the butler who called himself Diz squatted hard and carried it directly on his shoulders, which seemed effortless at all.
"What do I need to do now?" he asked kindly.
Lin You: "Uh—"
It looked different from what she had imagined, she thought to herself, it was impossible to receive another card so easily.
It's not enough to just move, you have to find other ways.
"Could you walk a little way with me?"
"I want to find a place to lock it up," she said.
It’s better to be a place without buttons. After all, SCP-173’s short hands can only press buttons. Once it is locked or encounters a door that requires an authorization card, there is no way.
That's why it hangs around here all the time.
"No problem at all."
The butler nodded. Seeing that Lin You wanted to lift the plaster statue, he immediately stopped her with a smile, and easily carried the plaster statue on the other shoulder.
This might as well prevent it from continuing to stare at SCP-173.
Lin Youxin said that this is too reliable.
Her thoughts quickly turned away, thinking whether to go back the same way to find Guan 173's room.
There are a little more than two minutes left before the plaster statue returns to the illustrated book.
After thinking about it, she turned around. But just when Lin You took a step, a violent shaking almost made her lose her balance.
Lin You: "...?!"
She held onto the wall. The butler's reaction was even faster. He carried two statues on the left and one on the right, one of which was still a fragile plaster, and immediately stabilized his body when he felt the vibration of the ground.
"My God," the skull's reaction was much more straightforward, "What the hell?!"
Lin You panted and looked over there.
The reason why the vibration was so violent was that the collapsed area was not far from here, and white smoke was spreading. Even though the lights were dim, a big hole could still be seen in the ceiling.
At the entrance of the cave, a huge claw landed heavily on the ground.
The claws were covered with layers of scales and covered with black stains. Also brought down was a half human leg, on which the monster stepped and poked its head downward.
… Oops.
Lin You thought.
"quick!"
She said, "Go to the nearest door!"
It didn't take them long, and Lin You quickly unscrewed the handle of an unlocked iron door—it looked like a doctor's private room inside.
The butler carrying SCP-173 had to bow his head sideways to get through. Without Lin You's instructions, he immediately put down the statue after entering the door, turned around and tightened the door lock tightly.
The creature is near here.
The huge physique makes every step too heavy, but that doesn't mean it's inflexible. In fact, it slid into the hallway rather deftly.
Feeling the tremors under her feet again and again, Lin You listened attentively to the movement outside.
—Damn it.
She should have thought of it sooner.
After all, while passing through the corridor between the partitions, I heard the news of SCP-682's breach of containment reported from the helicopter. After more than two hours, it might have been destroyed in another place.
Recalling carefully, she was probably a lot closer to the place where she saw the white smoke all the way here.
No wonder it hit.
If SCP-682 had a name, it would be "The Immortal Lizard".
It looks a bit like a gigantic reptile creature, possesses high intelligence but hates all life, the first time it was discovered was because it had a massacre somewhere in the countryside.
But its strength, speed and responsiveness are all top-notch. It will often try to break out of containment, and every time it will cause a lot of casualties. For various reasons, the Foundation decided to execute it.
There are quite a few projects that have been terminated by the Foundation, but SCP-682 has become the only one by virtue of its ability.
They can't kill it.
It has an amazing ability to regenerate and adapt, even though most of its body is destroyed, it can still try to move and communicate.
It is so difficult to eliminate it as safely as possible, the Foundation has used various methods, they have carried out more than 70 executions, and even used many lethal SCPs, but none of them succeeded.
Even though this lizard-like monster was seriously injured, it not only survived, but also evolved spontaneously, producing a certain degree of immunity.
It won't work like this.
Lin You thought.
Not to mention that the time for the plaster statue to appear is coming soon, they can't continue to control 173. SCP-682 must have just finished a massacre, and it is the time of bloodthirsty, will Bao Buqi smell the smell of humans through the door.
"Let me go."
While she was thinking, the butler suddenly smiled and said.
"I can't kill the creature, but I can attract its attention for a long time. Although I will definitely be defeated by it in the end, I can use all kinds of harmful substances to set myself as a trap. In this way, when it When eating me, it is bound to be damaged, and it can be delayed for a while longer."
Lin You: "..."
What
"Don't worry about me."
he continued.
"I came here in response to the bell to serve people. When you ring the bell next time, I will still appear in front of you." A somewhat tangled look flashed across his face, "Although I don't know why Made it."
"No no no!"
Lin You put away her surprise, and immediately waved her hands in denial, "You don't need to do that."
"Actually..." She whispered a few words in the butler's ear, and she was rarely shocked and puzzled, "How is it?"
Steward: "If... you wish..."
"I believe-"
Lin You looked at the card she had drawn just now, "This is destiny."
It was God's destiny that SCP-682 would suffer this fate.
The footsteps were getting closer.
When she heard it coming to the nearby door, Lin You gestured.
-It's now!
The iron door was slammed open, and the butler threw the statue heavily on the ground. When he pulled back and came back, Lin You who quickly closed the door didn't forget to shout at the big lizard: "Take your meeting gift!"
SCP-682 looked up in astonishment.
"..."
? ? ! ! ! !
The colorfully painted statue in front of him could hardly suppress a shrill and angry howl. SCP-682 still remembers the last time it was brought into this guy's containment area—it stared at him for eighteen hours without blinking.
It was furious that it had been fooled again.
Anyway, it's just, just this statue.
Just had a good meal, just stared at it if I had the energy to spare, SCP-682 thought, and then went in and killed the humans—
However, at almost the same second, it saw the guy curled up next to the statue.
That human but inhuman guy was pale and thin, the paper bag on his head had been removed, and he was only covering the lower half of his face with his overlong arms and fingers.
SCP-096 slowly raised its head, meeting its gaze.
