The wall on the side of the corridor of containment room 8 has been squeezed out of shape by the gray-green jelly like tree roots, the door frame is cracked, the door panel is skewed, and the edge is half a fist away from the ground.
Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo stood guard at both ends of this section of the corridor to prevent any newborns from passing by. Mo Tiangen and Hai Diao, two strong men, were responsible for cleaning the glue on the door and dismantling it. door panels.
The few people were lucky, no one in white robes approached during the whole process, and after five minutes, they successfully entered the No. 8 containment room.
The room has become a virgin forest.
Dense and thick and thin sticky substances filled most of the space like vines entrenched in a dense forest.
Originally, this room should be divided into two layers, inside and outside, with a double-layer bulletproof glass in the middle to block it, to ensure the airtightness of the inner space, and to vacuumize it if necessary.
It's just that even the reinforced concrete walls can't stop the secretion of the queen bee, and the seemingly solid double-glazed glass naturally burst into countless fingernail-sized fragments, scattered in every corner of the room like heavenly maidens. .
It took Ji Thrush and others more than three times longer than opening the door to open a passage through the slime-like objects in the room.
"This way."
Ji Thrush held a pocket watch-shaped energy meter in his hand, and turned it in all directions, looking for the energy source of the SCP item.
Since entering this room, the two items "soul" and "control" on the dial have deflected.
Obviously, this shows that there must be an SCP item near several people, and judging from the nature of the energy, 99.9% is the ideal companion manual they are looking for.
Finally, they found the innermost wall of the room.
Serious cracks had already appeared on the wall, and most of the safes embedded in the wall were exposed.
"found it!"
The five breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Mo Tiangen and Hai Diao worked together to pry open the safe.
In the box, there was indeed a blue soft leather manuscript.
Teacher Dagen reached out and took it out, flipped through it, and after confirming that it was not different from what was described in the file, he handed it to Ji Thrush.
Ji Xiaoniao took the notebook and checked it as well.
There are a total of more than 200 pages of notebooks, and nearly 50 pages have been written.
In the first thirty or so pages, there were repeated names, and the same name appeared six or seven times in a row. In the last ten or so pages, the names on each page were different, and the time intervals were different. , Sometimes even three consecutive pages are filled in on the same day.
According to the records of the SCP item archives, this ideal companion manual was found about three years ago in a mansion where a bizarre massacre occurred.
At that time, the mistress of the house killed her sleeping husband, mother-in-law and son in the middle of the night, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the lake.
As one of the many physical evidence at the murder scene, this blue notebook was confiscated by the police and put in the physical evidence box.
Afterwards, the agents placed by the SCP Foundation in the police system discovered the existence of the notebook, intervened in the investigation, quickly confirmed its abnormal properties, and then contained it.
It is described in the file that the Ideal Companion Manual possesses mind and mind control abilities, capable of influencing any contacted partner who has a partner, giving them a strong urge to use it.
Users can't help but write down their lover's name in the notebook, and then check their ideal expectations for their partner.
Then, over the next year, the user will be pleasantly surprised to find that his or her partner is gradually becoming who he or she envisioned.
However, no matter what the person affected by the notebook effect looks like, even if he has become a model husband or almighty wife praised by everyone, the user will still confide in his relatives and friends around him. Feeling a strong dissatisfaction beyond reason.
For example, a person who used to smoke and drink has stopped touching tobacco and alcohol after being crossed out, but his partner will hope that he will become a complete vegetarian after that, and even coffee , tea or any sugary drinks are not a sip and so on.
At this stage of development, the user will begin to frequently modify his expectations of his partner, making his spouse or lover eventually become a doll who has completely lost himself and has no ability to think independently.
At this time, the user will feel that his partner's personality has been irreversibly changed, and therefore feel almost crazy emptiness and despair, all of which inevitably end in killing his lover and committing suicide.
Originally such a dangerous thing should only be held by Mr. Dagen, a single dog, but fortunately, they are all wearing mind-blocking devices now, so they will not be affected by the effects of mind-controlling items for the time being.
So after checking the notebook, Ji Thrush handed it to Ren Jianmo, and asked his beauty Ren to put this dangerous thing in "One Cubic Meter of Freedom".
The sea eagle and the sunfish stood beside them, just watching silently, without even showing any curiosity when they stepped forward to take a closer look.
After Ren Jianmo put away his ideal partner notes, Hai Diao cleared his throat and asked:
"What are you going to do now?"
Ji Thrush turned to look at him, raised his eyebrows suspiciously:
"Of course to find a clockwork Lamborghini and an antique jewelry box."
"this… "
Hai Diao stammered, "Actually, you don't have to..."
As a senior performer of "Peach Blossom Spring", he is really not used to showing weakness to anyone, so he rarely showed embarrassment.
"Hey, I mean, you have all three SCP items, and the task is complete..."
He raised two fingers and made a "go" gesture, which meant that Ji Thrush and the others could actually go first.
Ji Xiaoniao didn't speak, just smiled, and repeated again:
"Come on, hurry up and find a clockwork Lamborghini and an antique jewelry box."
&&& &&& &&&
Thankfully, the containment chambers for both SCP539 Clockwork Lamborghini and SCP642 Antique Jewelry Box are in buildings above ground, not in the basement floors that were destroyed and occupied by the Queen Bee.
According to records, both SCP items are on the first floor of the Omega Containment Center.
Anyway, the whole building was already riddled with holes. They were too lazy to take the risk of finding the stairs, so they simply found a hole in the floor, drilled directly through the hole, and went vertically to the lower floor.
Only this time, they didn't go as smoothly as they got the ideal partner manual.
On the way, the five encountered a group of beetles.
They should be SCP497, swarms of hallucinogenic beetles.
These beetles are about the size of an adult's fist, live in groups, have the ability to fly, move quickly, have certain intelligence, can communicate with each other simply, and are good at cooperative hunting.
They feed on the blood of all warm-blooded animals and secrete a powerful hallucinogenic anesthetic from their mouthparts.
When swarms of hallucinogenic beetles are hunting, they will quietly ambush a single prey, and use the bite to inject anesthetics into the prey's body.
After the prey is bitten, it will lose the feeling of pain, and at the same time, it will produce a sense of excitement after taking high myopia. As more and more anesthetic ingredients enter the body, it will even cause strong hallucinations.
At this time, the beetle swarm will swarm and besiege the crazy and out-of-control prey until it sucks all the blood in his body.
It's just that there should be more than a hundred hallucinogenic beetles contained by the foundation, but the group that tried to attack everyone only had about twenty or so.
Ji Thrush guessed that their number should be consumed in large quantities in the confrontation between the main body and the newborn individuals. Up to now, there are only more than 20 of them left.
The SCP-like creatures that are still in the nest at this moment can only be newborn individuals copied from the light waves of the queen bee, and they have no containment value at all.
The five of them didn't hesitate, and directly solved them all.
It's a pity that during the process, the sound of fighting attracted the attention of several people in white robes, and they had to eliminate the newly added obstacles.
Fortunately, nothing more dangerous appeared.
After taking care of the hallucinogenic beetle swarm, the five found the containment room for the antique jewelry box.
But they searched the room, but they couldn't find the antique jewelry box that was said to be able to judge the value of jewelry by itself.
"There is no SCP energy here."
Thrush checked around with the energy meter and finally came to this conclusion.
The faces of the sea eagle and the sunfish darkened visibly to the naked eye.
"... let's go."
The bearded man took a deep breath, "Anyway, let's find a clockwork Lamborghini first."
"wait!"
The sunfish grabbed the arm of its captain with its uninjured hand, and whispered anxiously:
"Even if we find a clockwork Lamborghini, we won't be able to leave!"
Hai Ying cut him off sharply:
"Then we have to find it first!"
Due to the captain's imposing manner, Sunfish had no choice but to swallow back all the words he hadn't finished speaking, gritted his teeth, and kept silent.
"Your captain is right."
Ji Thrush also answered at this time, "It's not time to despair, at least we have to make sure that another SCP item is in hand before we talk about it."
The sunfish glanced at Ji thrush and nodded silently.
Just when it encountered the clones of the hallucinogenic beetle swarm, the sunfish saw the fighting power of Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and Mo Tiangen.
He had to admit that even when he was not injured, the level of these people was far above his. I am afraid that only the captain can barely survive a few tricks when he is one-on-one.
Therefore, although Sunfish has to admit in the bottom of his heart that he did secretly plan to "snatch SCP items from them", but under such a disparity in combat power, unless he wants to kill himself, otherwise , you can only completely extinguish this idea.
So the five people didn't waste any time, found a hole in the wall and climbed out, left the containment room, and began to search for the whereabouts of the SCP539 clockwork Lamborghini.
The author has something to say:
In other words, in the relevant settings of the SCP Foundation, most of the SCP items are actually like the ideal companion manual. Let's explain the truth of "there is no such thing as a free lunch"~|
