At that moment, the epidemic doctor who was splashed with a whole bucket of cold water finally realized something was wrong.
He suddenly lowered his head, and the empty bucket hanging on the bird's beak mask fell to the ground with a "bang", and rolled to the side of the cooking table.
The faucet next to the pool was opened wide, and the overflowing water accumulated on the ground, overflowing the soles of the shoes and wet the edges of the shoes. And in the pool of water, apart from the hand tightly gripping his ankle and the scattered long hair, there was also a swollen face that was soaked to the verge of rotting.
The face pulled up the corners of its mouth and smiled at him.
Then he yanked him down with the hand that was holding him!
The epidemic doctor couldn't react in time, and felt that there was no support under his feet, and the whole person was submerged directly from bottom to top in the water that was obviously only an inch deep.
— not even a single bubble.
For a long time, there was only the sound of "crashing" dripping water in the back kitchen, and finally there was a bit more suppressed breathing sound. After four or five seconds, the tall man stood up first, carefully watching the movement at the door.
Wang Yiming: "... went down?"
Even though he knew that the opponent was taking orders from a certain teammate, he was still a little worried that a hand would pop out from his feet and be dragged in without explanation. He has great strength, but the problem is that he can't swim! Doesn't it cool down every minute if you can't breathe when you enter the water
"Well, almost." Lin You waded through the water, went to the pool and turned on the faucet, "It depends on how long it can hold him."
Before the opponent came after her, she only had less than two minutes to think about how to take corresponding countermeasures.
The ability of the plague doctor is fatal to living things, and in her current illustrated book, there are only a few people who are obviously lifeless and who have died once.
The plaster statue knows how to turn its eyes and twist its neck at 360 degrees. It’s okay to find a quiet place to be a watcher—although she doesn’t know how to communicate the results of the watch with him—there’s no need to talk about combat effectiveness. , is more like a functional role; Mary Xiao is too restrictive, she likes to play some mysterious tricks to scare people and then ask "who is the puppet now", Lin You doesn't think that the epidemic doctor who is good at transforming corpses will be rejected by several The puppet screamed in terror.
Xue Yao... When she came out, she probably clenched her fists and was ready to strike again, but the problem is that she doesn't know whether the blow at her level is effective for the epidemic doctor.
So, Lin You turned his thoughts on one of the remaining ones.
Now thinking about the muddy liquid seeping from under the door of the hotel room where she and Geng Qinghe were staying, she still thinks that the proprietress did it for other reasons, she wouldn't come in just to make a face Scaring them—she thought this guy was going to use this to do something, so she immediately washed him down the drain with a sponge mop.
Lin You gambled on this and risked the last chance in the remaining time to summon the water ghost. And the latter grumbled reluctantly and admitted that if she acted a few seconds later to make the area of the water pool large enough, besides being able to come in, she could also pull them into the place where she drowned in her mind. piece of lake.
Of course, it's one thing to get involved, but another to kill it. Just like when she jumped into the lake from the roof of the burning hotel by accident, the proprietress who thought she had avenged her revenge and went forward triumphantly was beaten up by Xue Yao.
The situation of the epidemic doctor is different. He is still a medical staff after all, and all the work of fighting is handed over to the transformed zombies. The physical strength is mediocre, no matter how much the water is, I can't help but there is always a guy holding back my legs.
The task of how to make it easier for the water ghost to attack fell on Lin You's shoulders. She turned on the faucet to let the tap water flow all over the place, and instructed Wang Yiming and the others to put a bucket on the door—water has a natural effect on water ghosts. It's easier to pull a drenched guy.
"Should we take advantage of this opportunity and sneak away?" Li Jing asked worriedly, "Should we still stand here and watch...?"
"You can't run very far, and you will bump into it sooner or later."
Lin You's tone remained calm.
"It's better to settle it once and for all."
She just finished speaking.
"cough!"
A violent cough came from not far from the door, and everyone was shocked. The black plague doctor half-kneeled on the ground, his original loose black plague doctor uniform was more thoroughly wet than before, and he was coughing hard at the water he choked in, "cough, cough, cough!!"
He took several deep breaths, managed to stabilize his breath, and then staggered up, looking this way again.
"Wait." Seeing that the epidemic doctor still wanted to go this way, Lin You made a gesture to pick off the paper bag on SCP-096's head, "I'll take it off when you come here."
She is not afraid of the other party transforming 096 or anything like that—the order given to the water ghost is to consume him until he has little strength.
The epidemic doctor really didn't move anymore.
Obviously, he was aware of the threat SCP-096 posed to him. Those eyes hidden under the mask fixedly fixed on Lin You, and after a long time, he slowly raised his hand.
—Holding his hands to his ears.
"You will regret it."
When he spoke again, probably because he had been entangled in the water for a long time, the epidemic doctor's voice became hoarse.
"will regret refusing my treatment," he declared, "it is a cruel punishment to be at the mercy of a disease that cannot be fully understood. I can save you all, and I am the only one who can, because I... I am the antidote!"
"I'm pretty sure I won't."
Lin You pretended to let her fingers still touch 096's headgear back and forth, "What I'm more interested in now is, do you seem to know it?"
It's one thing to intuit a threat, but it's not unusual for him to seem to know what it means to see SCP-096's face in the face.
"Yes, yes... I know." The epidemic doctor still hasn't recovered from the excitement, "We used to live in the same place, I saw it during the transfer, although it was only in the Behind the glass, facing the corner and pacing back and forth... "
"To be honest, I stayed there well at the beginning. They were willing to provide me with corpses for my experiments. My research has also made considerable progress, and I only need more experimental products. But it got out of control, and they happened to Not allowing me to use human cadavers for further research, I decided to go out and find patients myself—”
"-so."
Lin You understood the other party's request, and interrupted: "What if I promise to provide you with materials?"
The plague doctor's eyes lit up visibly.
"Are you serious?"
—In a sense, he is very easy to please.
Just as he voluntarily stayed with the Foundation, was grateful for receiving suitable animal carcasses, and thought the Foundation was very generous, the only goal that drove the plague doctor's actions was to eradicate the plague. And all the benefits connected with it will attract him.
"Of course." Lin You said.
"Then... If you promise so," the epidemic doctor also knew that it would not be good for him to pester him any longer, so he retreated to the next best thing, "please allow me to act with you in the future."
Li Jing: "..."
Wang Yiming: "..."
Ju, it's actually a bit easy to talk about!
Hearing this, Lin You felt a burst of secret joy in her ears.
"However, can I really cure you?" At the end, the epidemic doctor asked again, "I will be careful, it doesn't hurt."
Lin You: "..."
"No." She vetoed it.
The epidemic doctor sighed regretfully, and the next second his figure disappeared, an extra SR card appeared in Lin You's hand. It was the first time for Wang Yiming to see her do this with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances while being amazed.
"That's settled," he went on, "then go and put the leg in the coffin."
There are still three parts waiting for them to find.
Li Jing and Wang Yiming wanted to leave, but Xu Yan stood there thinking.
"Translate the few words he just said," he said, "isn't it a containment breach?"
The epidemic doctor proved that both he and SCP-096 were once contained by the SCP Foundation, and now they both ran to this station—
The purpose of the SCP Foundation is to control, contain, and protect, and the facilities are well guarded. But because it contains supernatural creatures that are beyond the scope of understanding, occasionally there will be accidents where these guys break through the containment measures and escape.
The foundation often dispatches special forces to bring it back under control, but the fact that "shy" people and epidemic doctors can come here shows that this is probably a very serious containment breach, and they have not had time to recover it until now.
Li Jing was still at a loss, "Then...?"
"Then," Lin You said, "do you know how many anomalies the Foundation has contained?"
She made a "four".
Wang Yiming: "...four hundred?"
"To say the least, four thousand."
Lin You said dryly.
"There are better ones that are more dangerous than the two of them—I don't know how many ran out this time."
Wang Yiming and Li Jing, who had experienced the menace of these two guys to varying degrees, gave a hair on the back at the same time. It was really hard for them to imagine how terrifying the rest of the guys were.
"That, that, that now?!" Li Jing was a little panicked.
"Don't worry too much now," Lin You said. She remembered the toothbrush that Geng Qinghe dug out in the movie theater, and thought that they might still be scattered in different copies. "In short, find those body parts—ah, this one. I'll leave it to you."
Wang Yiming said "Huh".
"and you… "
Lin You pursed her lips.
"I'll go back and have a look alone," she said.
Standing alone in front of the old-fashioned elevator, Lin You raised her hand again and pressed the down button.
The alert light is on.
To be honest, she still doesn't know if she can go back to the original platform by sitting down in reverse.
But when the elevator door opened, she still walked in. Followed by SCP-096, it followed with its head down, and then found a corner in the elevator to nest quietly.
The elevator door closed again, and as it slid down, Lin You glanced at 096 who was consciously facing the wall.
She refused the company of Wang Yiming and others, and she wanted to investigate the matters she cared about alone—well, it can't be considered alone now.
Lin You still felt that the stairs at the beginning were strange.
Since something related to that was mixed in as an insider, "he" must know what "game" they are going to play, and how this is known is a bit worth talking about-to go deeper, "he" may Know who's behind the scenes; on a shallower note, there must be clues down the stairs that they don't have.
In case the remaining parts could not be found within 30 minutes, or the little girl turned back, she wanted to find out if there was a way out.
It is worth taking the risk for this, and also in order not to delay the overtime, she just came back to watch alone.
The premise is if this can go back.
The body of the car suddenly shook, and the elevator showed that it had arrived. Lin You breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the outside was the platform she had seen at first.
The tracks were empty, and the tram that had brought her had long since disappeared. She turned her gaze to the stairs directly opposite, and walked quickly over, this time without any hesitation, she tore off the yellow seals on both sides of the handrail.
The scene in front of him suddenly changed.
As if in a flash, the stairs leading directly to the upper floor became a closed stairwell. The iron door was old, but it looked very strong. The handle was not locked, and Lin You opened it easily with a twist.
She looked at the dark stairwell inside, and wondered what the original Ren Mingde had in mind to go in.
But now she was going to do the same anyway. There was no need for mental preparation at all, Lin You stepped up the steps in the stairwell.
Almost at the same moment, a thin voice rang in her ear.
"You dare to come back," the voice that was so shrill that you couldn't tell your age angrily said, "You still have the courage to come in?!"
It was still dark.
Lin You couldn't see anything clearly, and the voice was completely unfamiliar, but hearing the tone, she suddenly understood.
This is the main body of the thing, and what replaced Ren Mingde attached to him might be one of the avatars—or something random. But no matter what, the damage to the avatar would seriously hurt his vitality, and he deeply remembered this hatred.
"Because I have something to ask you," she said calmly, "it's quite a lot."
"You're dreaming!" The voice in the stairwell said sharply, "Don't expect me to answer you, not only that, as long as you come in today, you won't even think about leaving—"
"Well, I don't think so."
Lin You rolled her eyes, "Just don't beg me to leave for a while."
The voice sneered, "How could I beg you?!"
It's almost like a corpse in ten thousand pieces!
"Okay," Lin You shrugged, "You said it."
So she took another step forward.
SCP-096, which was wrapped in a paper bag, followed suit and stepped into the threshold.
As soon as he noticed the existence of 096, the voice suddenly disappeared completely.
"Get out!!" After a few seconds of silence, it crackled, "Take it and get out!!!"
