The same hysterical screams, but the actions taken by the two sides are completely different.
She heard Chris Bella muttering a prayer, only to be drowned out by 096's loud screams. Her indistinct voice of prayer came from above, and it was not difficult to imagine that she was being lifted up by the collar.
Concerned about the photo that Chris Bella was still holding in her hand, Lin You still closed her eyes tightly. After seeing the appearance of this alien creature, the two believers who restrained her didn't know the reason why SCP-096 was so violent, so they let go of their hands only by conditioned reflex.
"What the fuck is- what the hell?!"
The idea they have been instilled from beginning to end is that as long as they have firm beliefs, they can resist the monsters from the dark. Now the insistence is torn to pieces and one of them yells in horror: "What did you do?!"
Lin You: "Well..."
Lin You: "Guess?"
A few bodyguards haven't given up on coming to rescue their cult leader, but living here, most of the things they can use to get close to them are iron pipes.
However, let alone a cold weapon, the foundation has already verified that as long as he is in a state of being enraged, he can be immune to all damage.
Hitting the body with an iron pipe is painless, and once SCP-096 becomes hostile, it doesn't hesitate to move.
It sobbed, genuinely sad to see its face again.
It also knows exactly what to do.
— that's the solution to the source of its grief.
"...will bless me..."
Chris Bella, hanging in the air, was still whispering, "...I won't—"
Her voice faded away.
A few drops of warm liquid splashed on his cheeks.
There was a moment of silence in the ears, followed by startled and angry shouts and the sound of chaotic footsteps. They finally realized that they could not deal with such a guy by themselves, so they rushed out the door in a panic seeing that they could not be saved.
When the rout could no longer be heard, Lin You only opened her eyelids a little, and looked behind her from the corner of her eye.
On the wall from the middle to the top of the wall, there is a big hole in the shape of a person.
—SCP-096 chases it out.
Probably because Chris Bella was still waving the photo after being caught, so that the followers who followed her accidentally saw a corner while trying to rescue her.
Lin You walked two steps towards the direction she remembered. After stepping on something, she bent down.
Feeling that it was paper, she picked up the photo paper, crumpled it up and threw it to the corner.
It wasn't until now that she could open her eyes with peace of mind. Lin You wiped off the splashed blood with the back of her hand, and looked around the surrounding space—except for the melted candle residue on the side, which was also stained with blood, SCP-096 remained unchanged as always. what traces.
She summoned 096 in that shop and took a picture of its face with a camera. After waiting for two hours for the CD, I came to this church again, let Chris Bella see the photos, and called out 096 again. This is a successful plan A.
Plan B is the next best thing—
For example, under the control of sister Meiji, there must be a popular person who sings and reads before killing people, an epidemic doctor who can kill people instantly with his hands, and is useless once he is kited by others. The slender ghost always likes to commit crimes alone. Both Sadako and Kayako still have some unresolved conflicts with her.
Although it can be done, in general, SCP-096, which is close enough to be used directly, and far away to catch up with the first acceleration to solve it, is more...
efficient
The sound of dragging footsteps sounded, and Lin You saw a long pale hand through the big hole that was forcibly broken open.
When she looked back at its face again, she couldn't help but gasp.
—the risk is even greater.
After finishing the few guys who saw its picture, SCP-096, who had stabilized his mood, returned to her side obediently dragging those long hands. It didn't have a bit of blood on its hands, but there was a slight mistake in the paper bag it was wearing on its head.
I don't know if it was because I didn't pay much attention when I smashed the wall, or if it was affected when I chased it out later, the paper bag was far more tattered than the ones she saw in the electrical store, and it was afraid that it would be completely broken if it was damaged a little more.
Fortunately, he didn't really show it, and he hung on like this dangerously, otherwise Lin You would be the one who overturned at this time.
SCP-096 also seemed a little uneasy, fiddled with the bag.
"Stop, stop."
Lin You hurriedly stopped, fearing that it would break the paper bag instead, "Wait, I'll make you a stronger one."
"Or compared to this bag, why don't you just change it—" She muttered, suddenly remembered something, and waved at SCP-096, "Come, come, I know what to do, come with me."
In fact, she didn't need to say that when Lin You took a step, SCP-096 would follow up as consciously as before at Kisaragi Station.
Lin You knew it.
Because of the large pieces of ashes floating in the air, the survivors in this church are fully armed when they go out to search, they wear protective clothing and helmets, and they even carry a birdcage as an early warning—every time in the other world Darkness is coming, and animals are far more sensitive than humans.
As for where these equipments were placed, when she was brought upstairs by them, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a room with a side door open, and several pieces were piled up beside it.
In the church at this time, only Chris Bella and her few guards may be left-now they are all dead. SCP-096 didn't make any noise on the way back, so Lin You confidently led it down the stairs again, and came to the door in her memory, and found that she was right.
"Okay," Lin You picked out the biggest one.
"Try."
She raised her hand, and SCP-096 actually knew to lower her head—cooperating to put the anti-gas helmet on.
Lin You: "..."
SCP-096: "…"
Its face is too long.
The opening of the jaw is four times that of a normal person, and it should not be underestimated when it is closed. Other strong men with well-fitting helmets can only cover most of its face. Not to mention the tall but surprisingly skinny one, with the overly wide helmet dangling on its head—
"I'll think about it again."
Lin You decisively took off the helmet that was obviously not suitable for 096 from all angles, and threw it back to the warehouse.
SCP-096 seemed a little sorry about this, but the time was almost up, and it paced back and forth resentfully, before disappearing in place again.
Lin You could still understand its disappointment, but there was nothing he could do about the poor supplies behind the door. And, she had to get out of this church as fast as possible—
Looking around, she saw the small wooden door at the end of the corridor. The back door is hidden enough in this place, but it is convenient for her to withdraw now. Lin You paid attention to the movement around her, bent down under the bushes, and moved step by step to the position they had agreed upon in advance.
"Pomelo."
Jian Minjia's voice was very soft, "This way!"
"How is it?" Jian Mingjia asked immediately after she moved over, "Chris Bella—"
Lin You shrugged, "I told her not to open that envelope."
As soon as she said this, the latter knew what was going to happen, and tried hard not to let herself gloat.
"Where are you?"
"Everything is going well," Qiao Can replied, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat—Lin You had seen this on Gu Heng before, it was obviously a side effect of overuse of abilities, "It's all buried."
The three quietly retreated into the alley half a street away. Qiao Can squatted by the curb, lit a few times with a broken lighter picked up from a certain store, and finally ignited the gunpowder-paved "lead".
The flames sprang up with a "bass", and burned along.
"This is my last bit of gunpowder."
Qiao Can whispered, "If it doesn't work—"
There was a strong tremor on the ground.
She squatted shaking and couldn't stand still, something exploded one after another, and the raging flames dyed the sky above her head red.
When Lin You sneaked in—no, broke into the church openly, the two of them planted a lot of detonators outside.
At this moment, the cult gathering place ushered in an explosion as they expected. But it was too late to wait for the notification sound, and Qiao Can's face turned pale again.
"What do you mean," she said with a suppressed voice, "isn't this enough to clear the level?!"
"It should not be enough."
No matter how you put it, it's still an A book, no matter how much you rely on yourself to know the plot, it's almost impossible to save the effort in the middle.
Lin You had already calmed down, "Listen."
It seemed that there were already believers who were already operating nearby, and upon seeing this, they hurriedly wanted to rush back. The voices of people are boiling, and one or two can be heard from such a distance.
"When Chris Bella goes down, Claudia and Vincent will stand up later. I think..."
she said.
"Maybe, we still have to meet Aretha herself."
"result."
Jian Mingjia sighed.
"I still have to go here at the hospital."
"Who says it's not?" Lin You raised her eyebrows, and walked directly to the map on the wall of the hall, "Come on, just to be on the safe side, let's write down a section for each person."
At that time, Aretha was unable to be rescued in the end, and died in a certain ward of the hospital. Before she died, she made a deal with the demon that became her dark side, and this place also became the beginning of the alienation of the inner and outer world.
They have a map in their hands, and it is easy to find the hospital, but the road after that is not so peaceful.
"Alessa is in this room."
From memory, Lin You pointed to the square marked "B151".
The ward is on the first floor, and they need to take the elevator down. And in the ground, many monsters can be bred.
From the elevator to room B151, the detour is not that short. There are not many reference objects underneath, so it is much easier to remember the directions in advance.
"Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the elevator..." Jian Mingjia heaved a sigh of relief as she stepped out of the car carefully. As expected, it was pitch black. She took out the flashlight in her backpack, "I'll take the first part of the journey, right? ?”
"Left."
Turning the first corner, Jian Mingjia murmured: "Right—"
She remembers the next one is...
Can't say what's next.
"Damn." Seeing the scene after turning the corner, she cursed in a low voice.
In the corridor not far from them, there were four or five black figures standing.
Those monsters in nurse uniforms were slender. If you didn't look at their faces, they might be mistaken for beautiful women.
But the problem lies in their faces.
The top is covered by strips of fleshy vines, and there is a big hole in the lower middle. Their bodies were also strangely stiff, the nurses' uniforms were covered with blood, and the sharp knives in their hands glowed coldly in the darkness.
As soon as the white light of the flashlight shone, they sensed the light and moved instantly.
The "nurses" were still holding sharp knives, and some were dragging crowbars. They twisted stiffly and walked towards this side.
Jian Mingjia reflexively turned off the flashlight.
—they stopped.
However, this is not enough to make people feel at ease. Light, sound, anything will touch these "nurses". The corridor was tightly blocked, and they couldn't guarantee that they would not make the slightest noise when passing by.
"Give me the flashlight."
This soft order also made the "nurses" move slightly. Before Jian Mingjia could recover, Lin You snatched the things from her hand.
… ah?
The other party directly pushed the button again.
Suddenly feeling the light, the high-heeled shoes on the monster's feet hit the ground with a "click", and it seemed that it was about to take another step towards them——
Lin You turned off the light.
The nurses' legs were hanging in the air, and it always made people feel that they would lose their feet and fall to the ground in the next second.
Qiao Can: "..."
Jian Mingjia: "..."
Facing the condemning eyes of the two of them, the instigator also declared solemnly: "I will try it."
The white light shined again, and the nurses twisted their bodies again. When they saw them raising the knife, Lin You closed it again.
On, off, on, off, she repeated more and more frequently. If it weren't for the inability to return to the position due to the movements, the nurses would have wrung out the feeling of their own ghosts. Finally, when Lin You turned off the flashlight again, the person on the far left confiscated it one by one, with a "click"—
Flashed his waist.
