Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, Mo Tiangen, and Fan's siblings walked into the Hourglass Cube, first registered as a team in front of the artificial intelligence that had changed into a bunny girl outfit, then walked through the corridor and entered the foyer.
In the dark hall where the walls and dome cannot be seen, stands the huge glowing glass hourglass.
There are countless cube-shaped "sand grains" floating in a disorderly manner as if suspended in a gravity-free environment. From a distance, it seems that tens of thousands of fireflies are imprisoned in a huge transparent insect cage. His luck was not very good before, even after coming to the "Peach Blossom Spring", it seems that there is no improvement, he has always been a lucky E.
The first three "worlds" drawn by him all seem to have a higher average difficulty than most "worlds" of the same level.
Even Fan Hemian and Fan Luming, who joined their team halfway, complained that they are both super-senior performers in the "world" of B-level difficulty, but the two most difficult worlds are experienced with the three of you "Painting Walls to Change Souls" and "Twenty-Four Occasions of Spirituality".
Ji Thrush is also very disappointed about this.
But the lottery that should be drawn still has to be drawn. Student Ji Xiaoniao stood in front of the hourglass, took a deep breath, settled down, stretched out his hand, and touched the huge hourglass.
His fingertips landed on an invisible wall of air.
[Please select the [World] difficulty you want to challenge.]
An artificial intelligence with a male voice spoke in a standard voice.
Although he was asked to choose the difficulty, Ji Thrush only saw one option, [A].
All five fell silent.
This is the second time Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and Mo Tiangen have experienced this situation.
Although Fan Hemian and Fan Luming met for the first time, they had heard Ji Xiaoniao and the others mention it before. Although they were very surprised, they quickly realized what the reason was.
Ji Thrush: "Just to be on the safe side, I'd better ask."
He looked up at the invisible artificial intelligence in the void, "Why can we only choose difficulty 'A'?"
[I have learned about the question of participant number C0919, the system is confirming, please wait a moment.]
The broadcasting cavity answered softly.
After about two seconds, it gave the answer:
[It has been confirmed that the difficulty selection is correct.]
Then the voice went on to explain:
[The five participants in your team have all taken ability-enhancing drugs recently, and all comprehensive indicators have improved significantly in varying degrees. Their strength has now fully met the requirements of the A-level difficulty [World]. 〗The difficulty level of the selection is A.]
It paused, and then uttered the extremely stupid line:
[For this difficulty adjustment, 〖Peach Blossom Spring〗 reserves the right of final interpretation.]
Everyone: "..."
All right, what else can I do if someone is a knife and I am a fish
Ji Thrush reached out his hand helplessly, and clicked on the [A] option.
The luminous cubes floating in the glass hourglass began to spin, and after converging into a vortex of light particles, a cube broke away from it, and fell to the bottom of the hourglass with a "ding".
The draw is complete.
Ji Thrush took a few steps back with great experience and returned to the crowd so that he could watch the upcoming trailer from a better distance.
The air wall also darkened at this time.
Then everyone heard a loud squeaking sound that is typical when a communication device is disturbed by an electric current.
[warn! warn!]
In the picture, the voice of a middle-aged man came through the electric sound, his tone was anxious and frightened, as if he had been greatly frightened.
[Class A Containment Incident! Class A Containment Incident!]
The man shouted hysterically:
[SCP104 complete containment breach! This will lead to a massive containment incident on this site! Please evacuate all staff at this site immediately! Please evacuate all staff at this site immediately!]
"Fuck!"
Fan Hemian and Fan Luming lowered their voices at the same time and cried out in a low voice.
Ji Thrush took a quick glance at the two siblings from the corner of his eyes, and saw that both of them were livid, with ugly expressions as if they had swallowed a fly.
Obviously, based on these three simple sentences, these two experienced participants have already judged what kind of "world" they are about to face, and it must not be a good thing to deal with.
At this time, the current sound disappeared, replaced by a passionate aria performed by a soprano.
At the same time, the screen lit up.
Ji Thrush and the others saw a scene like purgatory.
If I had to describe it, classmate Ji Xiaoniao felt that this scene was quite similar to a famous horror movie he had seen back then, called "○House in the Woods".
In the movie, in order to appease the ancient evil gods, a certain organization will hold sacrificial ceremonies simultaneously in multiple regions of the world at regular intervals.
They will lead a group of innocent people to a place they have carefully arranged, and then let these poor sacrifices personally summon one of the various evil monsters collected by the organization, and then let these summons kill all the sacrifices Death, in order to please the evil god.
However, the protagonist in the story is always extremely hard-working.
The hero and heroine were not killed by the monsters, but accidentally discovered the underground elevator leading to the institution.
In the elevator, the two saw thousands of monsters, and guessed the truth that everything they encountered was deliberately done by someone.
So the hero and heroine released countless monsters stored in the institution, and the people in the entire institution fell into a sea of blood that was brutally massacred.
At this time, the scene that Ji Thrush saw on the screen was almost similar to the classic plot in the movie.
In the high-spirited aria of the soprano, the unknown building was full of people running.
Some of them are fleeing frantically, and some are fighting back desperately.
There are even more people, as if possessed by a demon, behaving in all sorts of strange ways.
These people just stood there, or danced wildly, or had dull eyes, or were covered in blood, and there were several others. In his opinion, they could no longer be called "human beings" at all...
There are many strange things that are chasing, chasing, hunting and controlling the people in the building.
Ji Thrush saw a pterosaur-shaped creature with three heads, a moving steel golem, a large group of insects covered in pustules, and even a notebook and a phonograph...
Everyone bit the bullet and endured the cruel scene for about twenty seconds.
The aria finally ended, and the female voice and video came to an abrupt end.
[It has been determined that a large-scale containment breach occurred at Site 7.]
A tired middle-aged man's voice sounded.
The screen lit up again, and Ji Thrush and the others finally saw the appearance of the building where the massacre took place.
It looks like a military base, but at this time all the items are covered with a gray-green unknown shell.
The bird's-eye view gradually zooms in from a height.
Several people finally saw the true appearance of the gray-green shell.
It was a dense honeycomb-like structure, sticky with each other, overlapping each other, and together they formed a dull plate-like barrier. And these barriers are stacked staggered, as if a layer or even several layers of finer small houses are added on the artificial base.
Then, Ji Thrush and the others saw "people".
And not just one, but a group.
"People" came out of each building, with different appearances, different heights, fat and thin, and looked like the most ordinary and ordinary human beings.
But these people are full of a sense of disobedience that doesn't seem like a "person", which makes the audience feel sick and suffocated.
Because everyone has a dreamy smile that can be called weird on their faces.
Regardless of age, gender, beauty or ugliness, these people all seem to wear a copy-pasted smiley mask.
They walked out of the buildings all over the base and gradually gathered towards the open space. As they passed each other, everyone said hello to the people around them.
The camera captures the expressions on their faces. From the beginning to the end, these people seem to be immersed in indescribable beautiful things all the time, and their smiles are full of joy and joy.
Ji Thrush and the others also noticed that these people were all wearing rough white robes.
In the end, the flow of people converged on the large playground in the middle of the base.
The tired male voice sounded again:
[Special forces please prepare, go to Site 7, recontain SCP104...]
The smiling faces gradually blurred.
The screen returned to darkness, and then a blood-red title appeared.
[SCP Containment Campaign]
So much for the trailer.
In front of the glass hourglass, no one spoke, and everyone stood there silently.
After about three seconds, Fan Hemian and Fan Luming suddenly yelled loudly: "Ah!"
In other words, the twins have a tacit understanding, and they even have the same crazy reaction.
"Ah!"
Fan Luming grabbed Ji Thrush's shoulder, shook it desperately, and wailed while shaking, "Why are you so unlucky! What the hell kind of luck is this!"
Ji Xiaoniao: "..."
He knew that he must have drawn a terrible "world" this time, otherwise the Fan family siblings would not have collapsed like this.
"what happened?"
Mo Tiangen was as clueless as Ji Thrush, but seeing the appearance of his sister and younger brother, he probably guessed the seriousness of the problem, and frowned deeply, "Do you know something about this 'world'? ?”
"Anyone who has stayed in 'Peach Blossom Spring' long enough has never heard of the three letters 'SCP'."
Fan Hemian let out a long sigh, and stroked his long hair irritably.
"It's just that I really didn't expect that we could be so unlucky. It's fine to be forced to be promoted to A-level by the 'Peach Blossom Spring', and we can get the world related to SCP in one draw!"
As she said, she stretched out her hand and pinched Ji Thrush's cheek, "I will definitely not let you be the captain next month!"
Fan Hemian pointed at himself, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to smoke, you have to step up to the emperor like me!"
"Sister, don't talk about next month..."
Fan Luming pressed his temple, and said helplessly:
"Let's think about it first, how can the next 'world' pass the level smoothly!"
