Chapter 813 The Ultimate Rescue (V)

It was obviously not convenient to carry a paper cup around all the time, so Feng Bujue went straight to the stairwell when he came out of the break.

After the electronic door opened, Brother Jue did not see 173 standing behind the door, but there seemed to be a few more corpses in the stairwell behind the door...

"Yoho~" Feng Bujue shouted into the door as if calling a pet, and blinked.

The next second, the huge figure of SCP-173 really appeared in front of Brother Jue.

"Hehe... That's great, I was worried that you ran to other floors." Feng Bujue said in a relaxed tone, while taking a half step forward and splashing the liquid in his hand on 173.

He waited patiently for a full thirty seconds, but nothing happened.

There was no light effect, sound effect, smell, or change, and 173 himself did not move.

If it were someone else, he might have panicked in his heart and would most likely question whether the cup of liquid was effective. But Feng Bujue would not do that. He firmly believed that even if there was no chemical reaction in front of him, the effectiveness of the liquid was unquestionable.

So, he did something very, very bold - blinking.

He stood right in front of SCP-173, just a few feet away... and blinked.

The result... was really fine.

At this moment, SCP-173 seemed to have become a real sculpture, and it was worthy of its name (the name of 173 was the_sculpture).

"Huh... Done." Having eliminated this major hidden danger, Feng Bujue was relieved, but he was not completely relieved, because he was not sure whether the effect of this liquid was permanent or temporary, "Then... while you can't teleport everywhere, let me advance the main task cleanly."

As Feng Bujue spoke, he had bypassed 173 and walked down the stairs.

Although he could also return to B2 to explore or use other SCPs. But he did not do so. Feng Bujue, who has a lot of experience in nightmare scenarios, knows very well that in this mode, it is best to advance the main plot if it can be advanced...

Beep——

Feng Bujue used a level 3 pass card to swipe the card reader next to the electronic door on the B3 floor, and the result... the instrument replied in voice: [Your authority is not enough to enter this area].

"Level 3 personnel can't enter?" Feng Bujue thought, "What's the situation on this floor..." Something flashed through his mind, "Could it be... there are Keter-level items in it?"

Keter (meaning "crown" in Hebrew, the top source material in Jewish mysticism) level: Items classified as "Keter" not only show strong and active hostility to human life, civilization, and/or four-dimensional space, but also have the ability to cause major damage in containment failure events. Such items must be cataloged and contained according to special containment procedures. And if possible, they will be destroyed.

Most Keter-level items are non-sentient, and most of them are inanimate objects. SCPs that are only hostile to humans will not be classified as Keter-level. A Keter-class project not only has the ability to cause devastating damage to human life and civilization, but in order to prevent it from doing so... its containment protocol must be large, complex, and precise.

Researching how to destroy Keter-class projects has always been a priority for the SCP Foundation. However, Keter-class projects under Foundation supervision are rarely destroyed by Foundation personnel. There are three main reasons: First, some projects are difficult to destroy due to their invulnerability or similar circumstances; second. Some projects are retained because they have great tactical value to the Foundation; third, some projects may cause greater harm to humans if destroyed, so they are permanently contained.

"No... Generally speaking... will Keter-class things and Anomalous projects be placed on the same level for processing?" Feng Bujue immediately thought, "What if the project to be evaluated is affected by the nearby Keter project. The consequences are unimaginable..." Thinking of this, he had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be..."

Yes, the answer is about to come out. Obviously... the Anomalous project that Feng Bujue is going to obtain has not yet been classified. But it has been regarded as an item with Keter-level quality by the Foundation, so... it will be stored in such a high-authority containment layer.

"Hmph... Interesting." Feng Bujue reasoned to this point and suddenly became interested. "What exactly do you want me to take out of the base..."

…………

At the same time, underground level 9, command center.

This is a part located at the bottom of the entire facility, with a higher security level than the emergency shelter on the eighth floor.

Everything in the base...including the security and monitoring departments on the seventh underground floor, is also under the supervision of this floor.

The wall here is printed with the Foundation's huge, black circular logo, and the SCP Foundation's motto is written below - to_secure, contain, and_protect.

"It has been confirmed that the initial power outage was caused by the failure of SCP-106's containment. The guy seemed to have woken up from 'pseudo-hibernation' and contaminated the motor room when he killed the security guards."

At this time, an agent in a black suit was reporting the situation to another older man in a suit who was dressed very similarly to him.

"Has the Nine-Tailed Fox Team received the news?" The officer stared at several surveillance cameras and answered without turning his head.

"Yes, they are on the way and are expected to arrive within 20 minutes." The agent replied.

"Too slow." The officer continued, "What do they think they are? Firefighters? Do you want to be nuclear exploded? Let them be in place within 15 minutes!"

"Yes, sir." The agent replied and was about to turn around to make a communication, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "By the way... sir." He paused for half a second, "There is a D-level personnel in the B2 floor... The actions are a bit worrying."

"What did he do?" The officer asked quickly.

"He... went to use SCP-294." The agent replied.

"A D-level personnel went to the lounge to drink a cup of coffee. Do you also want to report to me?" The officer replied impatiently.

"Uh... Actually... Sir... He..." The agent stammered.

"What happened to him?" The officer replied, "Did he order some strange drink, and then mutate after drinking it?"

"He seemed to have subdued SCP-173 with a drink..."

"What?" The officer turned around with his eyes wide open.

"According to the information fed back by the security personnel watching the surveillance video..." The agent continued, "This D-class personnel used SCP-294 three times in total... The first time, the machine did not output liquid; the second time. The machine output an unknown liquid, and he used this liquid to stop 173's actions; as for the third time... The machine also output liquid, and he drank it, but the effect of the third drink is currently unknown."

"Well..." After hearing this, the officer was silent for a few seconds, "Where is this person now?"

"He..." The agent hesitated for half a second and responded, "He seems to be planning to enter B3..."

"What?" The officer said in surprise.

"And... he has obtained access cards and weapons from some corpses." The agent continued, "However, the access cards he can find seem to be insufficient. So he ran to B1 and is searching for corpses on that floor..."

"Find someone to capture him immediately." The commander gave an order, "If he resists... he will be killed without mercy."

"Commander..." The agent thought for a moment, "The drink he drank..."

"Eliminating the threat is the top priority. If conditions permit, we can recover his body and perform an autopsy after the situation subsides." The commander replied.

"Understood." The agent nodded and turned away.

The commander quickly turned his head and looked at a staff member in the distance on the right: "Mark. Cut the B1 screen to the main screen."

…………

Basement 1, in front of a containment facility.

"Heh... I found something interesting." Feng Bujue looked at the words [SCP-738] printed on the door and smiled meaningfully.

[Item Number: SCP-738]

[Item Class: Keter]

[Special Containment Procedures: SCP-738 should be kept in a triple-locked storage room with armed guards, remote-controlled explosive devices and audio/video surveillance at all times. Based on the changes observed in communication with SCP-738. Power and unknown limits, the following procedures must be strictly followed-

First, when SCP-738 is idle, each of its components must be placed separately. Assembly or disassembly of SCP-738 must be completed using the built-in machinery in the storage area. If the mechanical assembly system fails. Testing must be cancelled until an engineer wearing an explosive collar is dispatched to repair the mechanical system. If this engineer attempts to communicate with any part of SCP-738, the collar will be detonated immediately.

Second, if remote mechanical assembly fails. SCP-738 will be disassembled by a pre-installed cone bomb, and then an engineer wearing an explosive collar will be dispatched to repair and reset the system.

Third, all D-class personnel used for testing must be mentally retarded or mentally retarded and wear explosive collars. This is to prevent them from knowing too much about SCP-738 and using SCP-738 to harm the Foundation. Only D-class personnel with an IQ of no more than 60 can enter the room where SCP-738 is located. D-class personnel can only enter the room for experimental purposes and must be continuously guided by the experimenter. 】

From the containment procedures, it can be seen that this thing is extremely dangerous... Of course, all R-class items are like this...

Generally speaking... Most Keter-class items are causal weapons that pose a devastating threat and hostility to humans, and the SCP-738 in front of us is no exception.

Regarding the "description" of this item, I will not write it in detail here, because... Feng Bujue will use it soon. (To be continued...)
