Chapter 828 The Ultimate Rescue (Twenty)

"Now, I will give you a chance to prove your belief." During the broadcast, Billy's narration was not over yet, "Not long ago, I had placed an infectious agent in the body of the man named Austin. A powerful and deadly virus that can spread in ways that you cannot understand, and ordinary protective masks or isolation measures are simply ineffective against it..."

Before he finished speaking, the security team members surrounding Brother Jue instinctively took a few steps back.

"Currently, the virus is still lurking in it and is not yet contagious." Billy's next sentence made them feel more at ease, but he immediately changed the subject, "But... once the virus breaks out, there will be no one in this base." All humans will die within twenty-five minutes, without exception."

"Do you think I'll believe it if you talk like this..." Steven pointed his gun at the puppet on the metal stand and approached it step by step.

"Haha..." Brother Jue, who was kneeling on the ground, sneered and interjected, "He doesn't need to prove anything to you, Steven. The question is... do you dare to risk the virus outbreak and ignore his Is it a false statement?"

"How many times do you want me to say this?" Steven turned his gun again and roared at Brother Jue, "I'll shut the fuck up!"

"Severe surgical trauma or death will cause the virus to break out in Austin's body." Billy's next words stopped Steven's movements. "The end of the incubation period will also cause the virus to break out... He paused, "So... now listen... the rules of the game, you must bring it to SCP-055's room within a limited time..."

At this moment, what Billy said didn't actually matter. He was just stalling for time.

Billy's real purpose is... to distract Steven as much as possible before he can finish "that thing" himself. He brought up SCP-055 because of Brother Jue's intention; because Brother Jue believes that... SCP-055's room is the safest place in this facility. If the other party really does what is said on the radio, then staying near 055 will provide you with a certain amount of room for maneuver.

While the broadcast continued, Billy had dragged Dr. Jonathan's injured body to the door of a holding facility.

here. Imprisoned is a project known as "shy_guy".

[Project number: scp-096]

[Project level: euclid]

[Special Containment Procedures: SCP-096 should always be contained in a 5*5*5 meter steel airtight cubic compartment. The compartment must be inspected weekly for cracks or holes. No surveillance cameras or optical tools of any kind are allowed inside SCP-096's compartment. Security personnel are to use pre-installed pressure sensors and laser detectors to confirm that SCP-096 is within the chamber.

Any photographs, videos, or portraits of SCP-096 are strictly prohibited without permission from Dr. [DATA SHADED] and o5-[?]. 】

[Description: SCP-096 is a humanoid creature approximately 2.38 meters tall. The subject has little to no muscle mass, and preliminary weight analysis indicates mild malnutrition. Its arms are grossly disproportionate to its body, each about 1.5 meters long. Most of the skin is completely free of pigment and the body surface is hairless.

SCP-096's jaw opening angle can reach four times the normal jaw opening angle of a normal human. Apart from the lack of pigment in the eyes, the rest of the facial features are similar to those of a normal human. It is unknown whether SCP-096 is blind. It has not been found to have advanced brain functions, nor is it considered intelligent.

SCP-096 is usually extremely docile, with pressure sensors in the chamber indicating that it spends much of the day pacing the east wall. But when someone sees SCP-096's face. Whether you see it directly, see a video, or even see a photo, it enters a state of severe sadness. SCP-096 will cover its face with its hands, then begin screaming, crying, and making inarticulate sounds.

Approximately one to two minutes after being looked at, SCP-096 will rush towards the person who sees its face (herein referred to as SCP-096-1). According to records, SCP-096 will reach speeds ranging from thirty-five kilometers per hour to [DATA SHUTDED] per hour, depending on its distance from SCP-096-1.

at this time. No known materials or methods are able to prevent SCP-096-1's actual location from appearing to affect SCP-096's reactions: it seems to be innately aware of SCP-096-1's location.

Note: Observing his artistic drawings does not trigger this reaction.

Once scpp-096-1 is located, scp-096-1 will be killed and [DATA EXPUNGED]. In 100% of cases, no trace of SCP-096-1 remains. Next, SCP-096 will sit for several minutes. Then he regains his composure and becomes docile again. It will then attempt to return to its natural habitat - [REDACTED].

Due to the potential for the object to trigger a large-scale chain reaction, including a breach of Foundation secrecy and the loss of a large number of civilians, recovery of the object should be considered an alpha priority. 】

"Oh! Doctor, what's wrong with you?" The security personnel outside the 096 containment room saw Jonathan covered in blood. He jumped out of his seat in surprise.

Due to the particularity of the project, there are not too many security personnel here. Just find someone to sit in a small room and look at the data on the sensor.

"I... I was hijacked by a D-level personnel..." Billy's acting is good. He said this "painfully" while slowly approaching the other party.

"Oh my God, look at your wound... You need a doctor!" The security guard has been at his post and didn't know why the doctor appeared here, so he let Jonathan approach him without any defense, "You lie down first, doctor, I'll find you... ah!"

The next second, a sharp weapon pierced his throat.

Billy ended the other's life at a very fast speed, and then turned and stood facing the containment compartment.

A few seconds later, he lifted the shielding of all nearby surveillance probes and... stopped broadcasting.

…………

At the same time, B7 monitoring room.

"What's wrong?"

Because the broadcast stopped abruptly, Steven and other security personnel fell into anxiety.

"Sir! Something's happening here!" Suddenly, a staff member sitting in front of the console shouted, "It's Dr. Jonathan! He suddenly appeared at the door of SCP-096's containment room!"

"What!" Steven turned around suddenly and looked at the monitoring screen, "This is impossible!"

In the picture, the blood-stained doctor was standing silently, and next to him, there was a corpse lying.

"John? This is Steven..." Steven quickly picked up the intercom and wanted to contact the two security guards who had just escorted Jonathan out, "John? Marvin? Please reply if you hear me!"

"Hahahaha..." Feng Bujue laughed, "Do you think they can still answer you?"

"Asshole..." Steven didn't care about the virus anymore. He rushed to Brother Jue and grabbed the latter's collar and said, "It's impossible to complete the brainwashing in less than 30 minutes! What did you do to the doctor?"

"Heh... Is this important?" Feng Bujue replied calmly, "Right now, instead of tracking down the 'method' I used to control the doctor, you should be more worried about..." As he said that, he tilted his head and glanced at the surveillance screen.

At this moment, Steven seemed to realize something...

Then, he and all the security guards present all looked at the surveillance screen at the same time.

But... a rather large bulge slowly appeared on one of the steel walls of the containment cube. In just two seconds, the bulge became larger and larger, and finally cracked.

At the same moment, Feng Bujue... quietly closed his eyes.

Except for him, everyone else saw through the surveillance camera that SCP-096 was breaking open the steel plate and trying to escape like crazy... (To be continued...)
