Coming out of the Hourglass Cube, Ji Thrush and the others went directly to Lian Pavilion and rented a small conference room.
After the few people sat down, Mo Tiangen couldn't wait to ask the Fan family siblings what "SCP" is.
"In the arrangement of 'Peach Blossom Land', occasionally there will be a 'world' set in the 'SCP Foundation', or similar organizations."
Fan Luming replied:
"In fact, to put it simply, the so-called 'SCP' is the abbreviation of 'Special Containment Procedures', which means all kinds of supernatural phenomena, abnormal items or creatures, and the 'SCP Foundation' is to control, contain and protect these Anomalies, events, organizations of individuals."
He shrugged and said:
"Of course, in different 'worlds', SCPs are sometimes not called SCPs. The names of institutions and organizations often appear in various tricks, but they are basically changing the name without changing the medicine. As long as the investigation is organized And the 'world' dealing with these strange things can be classified as an SCP type."
When the Fan family brother mentioned this, he thought of a more specific metaphor:
"The X-Files, you must have seen it all, right?"
He made a cross with his hand, "Think of yourself as a FOX agent, and then imagine the SCP Foundation as a special department that is not controlled by the government but similar to the FBI."
Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen nodded together, expressing that they understood.
Teacher Dagen thought about it seriously:
"So, what do you mean, we are about to deal with alien creatures or mutant monsters like FOX agents?"
"How can it be so simple!"
Fan Luming immediately retorted:
"Do you know how terrifying SCP's worldview is?"
Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen shook their heads again, and repeated stupidly: "How terrible?"
Fan Hemian took over what his younger brother had said, and raised three fingers at the two of them.
"According to the summaries of many senior participants, do you know what are the top three with the highest death rate in various 'world' types?"
Ji Thrush thought about it seriously.
"Since you're asking, there must be SCPs, right?"
Then he thought of the similar crazy reaction of the Fan family siblings when the lottery was drawn last month, "The others... I guess, there should be a ghost?"
"That's right."
Fan Hemian nodded:
"The death rate of supernatural beings is known to be high, especially the "unsolvable film" of the type of Zhenzi Jiaye. Basically, it is the word "death" when it enters, and it ends in group destruction every minute."
She compared the word "two", "So, the death rate of the supernatural 'world' ranks second."
"Tuan Mie is the second place in minutes..."
Mo Tiangen touched his chin, "The death rate of SCPs can't be higher than that of ghosts, right?"
The younger brother of the Fan family interjected:
"That's not true. If you have to choose, SCP is still better than ghosts, so it ranks third."
When he said this, he stared at Ji Xiaoniao mournfully:
"However, you have drawn the second and third places in two consecutive 'worlds'. Your luck is unprecedented!"
Ji thrush pouted, not daring to reply.
"Mind if I ask one more question?"
Mo Tiangen was still a little curious, "Then what is the number one?"
Fan Hemian was more than happy to spend a few more minutes to satisfy the curiosity of these newcomers, and by the way, to the three rookies who had just left the "novice" category and were about to challenge the A-level difficulty, to popularize some of the "Peach Blossom Spring" Advanced knowledge:
"Currently most of the senior participants believe that the most difficult should be the 'mythology'."
Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen's eyes sparkled, and they looked like curious babies: "Mythology?"
"Yes, this type will interfere with a major event in a certain 'world' at the level of the 'God'. For example, you can see Fuxi Nuwa or the Mother of the Earth in the trailer. There is a very small chance of it happening.”
Fan Hemian explained:
"When we first came to 'Peach Blossom Land', there was a team of high-level participants who won a 'world' called 'Twilight of the Gods' when challenging an S-level mission. The trailer shows that it is in a certain cosmic dimension , there are two groups of gods fighting fiercely, and hinting that they will join one of the camps... "
When she said this, she stopped abruptly.
Mo Tiangen asked: "What about after that?"
Fan Hemian spread out his hands: "Then, they were all wiped out and never came back."
Fan Luming also nodded vigorously beside him:
"The 'world' drawn by that team of participants is also the only mythical background we have heard of."
He raised his index finger and made a "1":
"Because there is only one team, if the team is wiped out, the death rate is 100%."
Both Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen exclaimed "Wow".
Although they have never experienced what the legendary battle of the gods is like, they have never eaten pork and seen pigs running. The two of them imagined the power of the gods and Buddhas in movies and novels to destroy the world at every turn. I feel that with my current meager combat power, I am not even qualified to be cannon fodder for the battle.
"S rank... is it so difficult?"
With such a comparison, it feels that the difficulty of the "world" they experienced before is not worth mentioning.
Ji Xiaoniao and Teacher Dagen listened carefully, but did not notice the slight change in Ren Jianmo's face.
In the few words the twin siblings said just now, there seemed to be one or a few key words that touched a vague shadow left in his long-lost memory.
However, when Ren Jianmo tried hard to catch the afterimage, no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't really recall even a slightly clearer segment...
…
"... Mr. Ren?"
Ren Jianmo unexpectedly lost his mind in the presence of other people.
It wasn't until Ji Thrush realized his abnormality, reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, that Beauty Ren pulled herself back from her clueless fantasy.
Ren Jianmo smiled at Ji Thrush, and comforted him softly, "It's okay."
Ji Thrush's eyes stayed on Ren Jianmo's face for a full two seconds before turning away:
"Okay, let's get back to the topic."
He looked at the Fan family siblings:
"Then why is the SCP-like 'world' so dangerous?"
"Because this type of 'world' cannot be judged by common sense at all."
It was Fan Luming who answered him.
Doctor Xueba Xiaolu has a good memory, and usually likes to read these miscellaneous materials.
He has been in "Peach Blossom Spring" for nearly a year, and it is already a small mobile library in a sense.
So Balabala, the younger brother of the Fan family, explained to the other three companions in one breath how those special items contained by the Foundation in the SCP worldview are beyond common sense and unreasonable.
Fan Luming gave a few examples.
For example, there are stairs that never reach the bottom and an endless maze; or ink that can contaminate any liquid, can penetrate the pores of the human body and penetrate into the blood vessels, and gradually assimilate the blood in the whole body; and a machine that can speed up the passage of time Microwave ovens can even let the contents go through 100 billion years in a very short period of time; there is also a certain kind of fish that digs holes in the continental shelf plate of Midi every breeding season, and can make the whole fish in minutes The Gold Coast completely sank to the bottom of the sea and so on and so forth
Many items sound mediocre at first glance, but as long as their dangers are broken apart and analyzed, you will be surprised that these items can cause major catastrophic accidents that destroy human civilization.
The more Ji Thrush and Mo Tiangen listened, the more dignified their expressions became.
"These things are indeed too difficult to deal with..."
As a biology teacher, Mo Tiangen has always considered himself a materialist, but ever since he entered the "Peach Blossom Spring", he has been driven crazy by one after another "world" that deviates from common sense.
Now he finally understands why the death rate in the SCP-like "world" can be ranked third.
Unlike other "worlds" where the level of force of the participants is largely tested, in the world of SCP, whether they can fight is not the most important thing.
Because, against many creations that don't even make sense to you, you probably don't have a fighting chance at all.
Ji Thrush also figured out the key points:
"So, in this type of world, if you want to pass the level, you must correctly grasp the containment method of a certain target object, and then contain it quickly and efficiently, right?"
Fan Hemian and Fan Luming nodded together: "That's right, this is the key to cracking the SCP-like 'world'."
Mo Tiangen raised another very serious question:
"But, how can we know what the SCP item we are going to face is?"
"The trailer gave us an SCP item number, but I don't think it's very useful."
Fan Hemian is very sensitive to numbers, she clearly remembers that the number she heard in the trailer was "104".
"Although the foundation's basic related settings are common in many 'worlds', the SCP items in each 'world' have their own set of numbering systems... Just judging from the trailer, I'm not sure that What is it."
Fan Luming also agreed with his sister.
"Also, compared to what kind of SCP item is that..."
As the girl said, she raised her hand and pressed the center of her brow, "What's worse, in the trailer, there was a serious containment accident at Site 7."
As she spoke, her eyes swept across the faces of each companion, and she said word by word:
"Have you ever thought about what if we'd be in that containment facility when we got to that 'world', and there was a massive containment breach..."
Everyone gasped.
—Yeah, this is too damned!
Ji Thrush only needs to think about the horror scene in "House in the Woods" where a large group of strange creatures and unknown objects are chasing people around, and the staff members in the facility are all dying.
If it is true as the sister of the Fan family guessed, let alone finding a way to contain a certain target SCP item in the future, it is already a narrow escape if everyone wants to escape from a large group of monsters in a closed building up!
"alright… "
Ji Thrush smiled wryly:
"Let's be mentally prepared, as soon as we enter the 'world', let's have a life-threatening run!"
