Time rewinds to five minutes ago.
This time, Lin You didn't stay longer in "Pocket Dimension".
Before SCP-106 showed her reluctance to stay, Lin You was very sensible.
In addition, she didn't have anything special to do, and she didn't bother to stay in the dark alien space full of discarded parts. After learning that the other party had opened an exit for her in a deserted place far away from the containment room, she did not forget to smile and wave to the old man to thank him before leaving.
"Thank you."
SCP-106: "…"
You stop hitting it on a whim and thank goodness.
Thinking of the prison cell I saw when I was called out, it could be seen at a glance that it was undefended, the scary old man who was once a doctor snorted coldly, I really don't know whose head was kicked by a donkey to give this guy a damn" Safe".
Sudden light-to-dark transitions will always cause confusion, but Lin You has been in and out of the "Pocket Dimension" several times, and she seems to be familiar with it. She got used to it in a blink of an eye, looked back and forth, and looked at this strange corridor.
SCP-106 picked a good place, secluded and secluded, no one is really no one, not even a surveillance camera. But the biggest problem is—
She doesn't know the way.
Lin You was still thinking about the corridor she saw when she was brought here, but it was completely unrealistic to expect to find it now, not to mention that the priority of reuniting with Yuanwei was even higher.
It would be nice to have a map.
Forget it, Lin You thought, take your time looking for it.
She prepared the SCP-106 card in advance on the helicopter, and called out Sadako after two hours of CD in the containment room, and now there is still one chance to draw a random card.
Sadako remained in the cell, using her thoughts to create the illusion that she was still there. She has as much time as Sadako can stay, and how far she can run during this period depends entirely on her own ability.
Listening to the movement with ears pricked up, Lin You was in the middle of the first fork in the road, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she chose the one on the left.
There is a saying that the right time, place and people are in harmony.
It was daytime when they were still at Site 19, and it was evening when Iris took them to meet the team members of "Pandora's Box", and it was already night after they were closed for two hours.
The foundation is naturally different from ordinary companies where people work from 9 to 5 and don't see anyone after get off work, but of course there are fewer employees on duty at night.
This added a lot of convenience to her actions at this time, and she didn't see many people along the way. Lin You is also a bold and careful person. She only chooses places that are not monitored. When she hears voices two or three times, she finds a nearby place to hide, and waits for the voice to pass before reappearing.
Trouble came quickly.
Lin You stood sideways by the door, facing the display screen by the door.
She had seen something similar on the previous site, and it was clear that she had to swipe her card to pass, but she didn't know if the certificate over there could be used here.
Lin You glanced back, there was a camera on the opposite side, and it was impossible for her to go back the same way, so she had to try.
What she drew was not the third-level authority card, but an unknown card that had been super-finished by the universal conversion machine.
Doing so is very risky. Comparing the two cards, it is really hard to say which one is safer. Lin You finally decided to believe in the universal switcher.
Although her level of trust is limited, otherwise she wouldn't have only gambled on one card. After all, the processing process cannot be controlled by people. The universal conversion machine used to process one kilogram of steel into steam and only a tiny bit of perfect metal. .
However, since it is something that has been ultra-finished, it can always come in handy.
Lin You held her breath, and pasted the unknown card on it.
With a beep, the door opened.
Her eyelids twitched, seeing no one around, she hurried in.
The gate swung up, and Lin You's figure was hidden behind it. The first thing she did was to see if there was any surveillance video at the door. After confirming that there was no surveillance video, she was relieved and a little disappointed, which also meant that there was nothing dangerous inside.
but-
Lin You glanced over and stopped on a transparent glass wall.
Who says there's no good stuff with a "Safe" rating
—She is “Safe” herself.
Embedded in a glass container in the wall, the orange slime I saw a few hours ago was tirelessly wandering around in his "small room".
Lin You tried to walk over.
"Peng!"
As soon as it sensed the approach of a human being, the "Slime", which looked like a bean bag chair, almost jumped up, and slammed into it with this muffled sound. Fortunately, it itself is soft, and it doesn't feel any pain when it hits the thick glass with its head, and it still jumps up and down with excitement.
Lin You: "... Poof."
She could hear this man's crazy "giggle" laughter from here, if it really had a tail, it would have turned into a flower by now.
Lin You stretched out her finger and tapped on the glass, and the SCP-999 inside immediately followed suit.
It protruded a little soft "tentacle" and pressed the same position inside the glass. It stretched out two more "tentacles", looking as if it wanted to hug its favorite human being through the glass.
As soon as her eyes rolled, Lin You started a new round of coaxing.
"How about taking you out to play?"
The other party somehow understood the meaning of her words, and started jumping up and down happily again.
Seeing it like this, Lin You really planned to open the door next to it.
SCP-999 appears harmless and non-aggressive, but it is not.
The irresistible forced tickling is its greatest weapon, and the Foundation has tried to use it to stabilize SCP-682's emotions.
Immortal Lizard smashed it with its paw angrily as soon as it met face to face, but this was of no avail to the soft "Slime". The latter quickly climbed onto the giant lizard's body to tickle it, which made it laugh angrily while protesting, and finally collapsed from laughing, and passed out directly.
Lin You felt that this could be used as a reference.
And because SCP-999 is not hostile, and usually eats only candy, its containment procedures are also very loose. So that employees with any authority can enter the container to play with it at will, lest it feel lonely.
The doorknob was loosely fastened, as long as SCP-999 didn't slip out by itself, it was convenient for Lin You at this time.
Seeing that her fingers were about to touch the handle, her movements suddenly shrank.
It was by no means an illusion, she heard the noise approaching from a distance. There were messy footsteps passing the gate she had just entered, the only thing to be thankful for was that the other party did not intend to open the gate.
At the same time, several piercing sirens pierced the air, causing people's eardrums to buzz.
Counting the time, five minutes should be up.
"Alert level one!"
"Go in and search?" Someone asked.
"No, let's focus on those places that don't need permission first—" Another person panted, "Oh my god, two containment breaches!"
Lin You was stunned.
...including her, two
She laughed, the hapless guy with the ability to breach containment better not run into her.
One after another the agents stomped through the door. SCP-999 in this compartment was still giggling, Lin You quickly turned around, raised her index finger in front of her lips, and made a silent gesture to it.
SCP-999 is not very intelligent, but it can also understand the meaning of certain behaviors, and it quiets down obediently.
After the last sound of footsteps disappeared, Lin You decisively opened the door of the glass box. The long-awaited SCP-999 softly "slid" out of the box and happened to land at Lin You's feet.
It just wants to climb up with pseudopods.
Lin You: "Huh?"
As soon as this came out with a somewhat warning tone, SCP-999 wisely gave up his plan to tickle. It "rubbed" her trousers with its body as if flattering, and changed itself.
Lin Youxin said that this is too easy to kidnap.
[Name: SCP-999 "The Tickle"]
[Card number: 032]
[Level: R]
[Remarks: A huge and irregular orange-yellow viscous creature that likes to eat chocolate beans and wafer biscuits. Likes humans, prefers to tickle others, and also loves all animals. The video of its experiment with SCP-682 was widely circulated within the Foundation, and a well-known doctor said that it was the funnest thing he had ever seen. I really hope to play with SCP-682 one day, but the other party doesn't seem to think so.]
Yeah, SCP-682 would love to kill this little thing that made it embarrass itself.
Lin You thought.
Speaking of which, one guy was finally able to be released.
She opened the backpack and took out the skull.
"Hey, hey." Seeing that the other party was uncharacteristically lifeless and didn't respond the whole time, Lin You quickly shook back and forth, "Are you still alive?"
The skull woke up belatedly.
"Live! Live—don't shake!"
It gave a long yawn.
"I was just too bored to wait and sleep for a while... where are I now?"
It was also the first time Lin You heard that he could still sleep with only bones left, but seeing it like this, he really didn't know it, so he said, "I changed the card pool."
Skull: "..."
Skull: "What did you say"
"Oh," Lin You explained, "They thought I was a new SCP, and I pretended to be real, thinking I could receive more cards, and then I was brought here—now on the way to escape from prison."
Skull: "..."
"never mind."
It closed its almost closed mouth resentfully, "As you please."
Anyway, it's all here, it can't run away even if it wants to!
"Anyway," the skull asked when being strapped on again, "what is our goal now?"
"An extra charge is one charge." Lin You said sternly.
… Hello! !
"Just kidding," she said, "I was thinking, based on when SCP-106 brought me here and what he said, it's a long way from the cell."
"Then who are they looking for?"
The skull didn't make a sound for a while.
Obviously, even if she knew that she had asked the scary old man to help her escape, she wouldn't have come here so quickly. And eager to search here, there is only one reason left.
—Another SCP breached containment nearby.
With the sound of "ding", Lin You recognized that it was clearly the sound of the elevator arriving.
She looked back in astonishment.
...! ! !
At the end of the corridor, the elevator doors slowly opened. Even with a little mental preparation, Lin You cursed secretly after seeing the guy inside.
She backed away in the direction of the gate.
The other party also saw her, and the man walked crookedly, with a horrible twisted smile on his scarred face.
There are still more than twenty meters away.
Lin You had seen his photo.
— "The Roaring Man".
The roar of his rage is so powerful that it is a trivial matter to be deaf, and what is even more exaggerated is that it can shatter the hinges on glass or steel doors. The ability is more than that, but he is undoubtedly targeting behind her at this time, a guy wearing a D-class personnel uniform is nothing to be afraid of, as long as he destroys the door—
However, at the moment when the "roaring man" opened his mouth and was about to make a sound, what he saw suddenly made him suppress his voice.
He blushed and had a thick neck.
It was the guy he didn't take seriously, who was holding a puppet in his arms, and his intuition told him that it's better not to act rashly.
"Shout."
Lin You smiled and raised Billy's right hand, beckoning to him, "Don't be nervous."
Mary Xiao, whose body had also been transformed into a puppet, stood behind her, grinning sullenly, and pulled out his tongue just waiting for him to really yell.
Lin You: "It's okay, just keep shouting."
Roaring person: "..."
Believe me! ! !
