Thriller Paradise

"Ha ... Since I have the time to test you and mock you ..." Feng bujue replied with a smile."That means the problem before us is not that complicated."

Actually, the moment brother Jue touched the box, he had already received a system notification.[Safe key of SCP-1998 is required to open it.]

When the players tried to open the box in the scenario, there was a big difference between the prompt and the absence of the prompt. If there was no notification, or if there was a "can\'t be opened" notification, then the item in the box was probably set as "can\'t be obtained" by the system. However, there was a 100% chance that there was a way to open the key.

"Oh?" Hearing that, Billy thought for two seconds."Did you get a system notification?"

Even though Billy could not hear the hint, he could guess that from brother Jue\'s reaction.

"That\'s right. " "According to the hint ..." Feng bujue replied,"we should be able to find the key to this box somewhere."

"That\'s the problem," Billy said."I\'ve already said that the key is in the hands of those two people, and those two people are either ..."

"Alright, alright. You don\'t have to repeat what you said. I don\'t have Alzheimer\'s disease." Brother Jue interrupted the man."Let me ask first, who\'s in charge of this floor? Did you pay attention to his movements after the power outage today?"

"Hmm ..." Billy thought for a moment and said,"Dr. Jonathan is in charge of this floor. He\'s a Belgium in his 50s and has made a lot of achievements in theoretical physics." He paused."As for his movements after the power outage ... I\'m not very sure. Don\'t forget, B3 has its own power supply, so the blackout didn\'t affect this place much. However, the broadcast at that time required everyone to evacuate to the emergency shelter, so the people on this floor were also evacuated. "

"Are you sure ... That everyone on this floor has safely evacuated?" Feng bujue pressed.

"At least when you and the group of security guards entered B3, there was no one else on this floor." Billy replied,"as for their fate after they leave B3, I\'m not sure ... Whether it\'s the stairs or the cargo passageway, they\'re all beyond my perception."

"What?" Feng bujue still could not get rid of his habit of trying to get information from others."Shouldn\'t something like \'perception range\' expand in a circular shape?"

"That\'s under normal circumstances. " Billy replied,"but this is the SCP Foundation\'s personal Sector. They\'re very familiar with the use of space technology. You can even say that ... It\'s far beyond my imagination." He raised his hand and pointed at the ceiling."How high do you think this floor is? Five meters? Eight meters?" Before brother Jue could answer, he said,"don\'t think that the height you\'ve passed in the stairwell is the actual height of each floor ... Even I don\'t know how high each floor here is, so it\'s not surprising that there are abysses between the floors."

"Oh, no wonder they don\'t have an elevator." Feng bujue replied, deep in thought.

"In short, I don\'t know where Dr. Jonathan went. The whole floor was full of people when I evacuated. At that time, I didn\'t have the energy and reason to accurately find his movement in the crowd." Billy brought the topic back and continued,"also ... Even if we assume that Johnathan has successfully arrived at the emergency shelter area, there are still two problems ... First, that area is under tight defense. Even if the security guards don\'t know what you look like, you only showed up after the alarm went off ... You\'re bound to be arrested or executed. Secondly ... Even if you are lucky enough to sneak into the emergency shelter and find Dr. Jonathan, the key might not be with him. Even if the key is really on him, what method do you have to seize the key, escape from the emergency shelter, and return to B3?"

"That\'s reasonable. " "Then, why don\'t we set this assumption aside for now and talk about other possibilities? for example ..." He touched his chin and said,"the doctor was killed by an SCP project team that escaped from another floor during the retreat, and the body that held the key is currently lying quietly in the stairwell or the cargo tunnel ..."

"Relatively speaking, what you said should be the most optimistic assumption." Billy said,"however, there\'s a more pessimistic assumption ..."

"You mean ... The key is in the hands of the person in charge of this base?" Feng bujue added.

"That\'s right. " Billy replied,"and the person in charge of this base, Kozmo, is staying in a place that is even more heavily guarded than the refugee camp. He\'s in the B9 command center."

"That is to say ... If the key is really in ke Zimo\'s hands, then the possibility of me getting the key and returning to retrieve the gun is next to nothing." Feng bujue said.

"Infinitely close to zero." Billy replied.

"Ha ... Very good." Feng bujue laughed."Based on this train of thought, the hypothesis can be directly eliminated."

After he said that, Billy seemed to have realized something.""Because the system wouldn\'t set up an impossible chain of action ..."

"Bingo!" Brother Jue snapped his fingers."Since the system said \'this box can be opened\', then there must be a way to unlock it. If the difficulty of unlocking this box is higher than clearing the game, then wouldn\'t this setting be meaningless?"

"According to what you said, it\'s very likely that Johnathan died outside the shelter with the key?" Billy followed brother Jue\'s train of thought.

"Yes." Feng bujue nodded."Of course, based on my understanding of the nightmare scenario and my character ... I think ... The probability that Dr. Johnathan is currently in the emergency shelter is very high."

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

Just as the two of them were analyzing and discussing, suddenly, an intense explosion came from the distance.

In this base with solid walls, for the sound to travel so far, it must be something very serious.

"What\'s going on?" "Could it be that some project has escaped from this place?" Feng bujue asked.

"That\'s unlikely. " Billy replied,"I\'ve told you, the power outage didn\'t affect this floor much." He paused for half a second and added,"you heard 513\'s ringtone earlier. It was caused by my control. At that time, the other projects were still in containment, and there was no situation of going out of control. "

"Then this is ..." Feng bujue asked.

"Well ..." Billy pondered for a moment and said,"I\'ve been focusing my perception on the seven security team members since ten minutes ago. I\'ve basically stopped sensing other areas." He continued,"I think ... Someone or \'something\' has sneaked in."

"Then let\'s remove the surveillance." "Change it to global perception," Feng bujue said.

"Ah ... I\'m doing it now." When Billy said this, he had indeed removed the monitoring of Gore and the others and changed the way of perception to a wide, open area.

But ...

Two seconds later, Billy suddenly groaned and his body trembled.

He seemed to have been hit by some invisible force, and he fell from Feng bujue\'s shoulder toward the ground.

Thankfully, brother Jue\'s reaction was fast. He caught Billy in time and did not let him fall to the ground.

"Hey!" Feng bujue stared at the disgusting-looking puppet in his hand, but there was no change in the latter\'s expression."What\'s wrong?" He shook Billy."Say something!"

At this moment, Billy seemed to have "fainted"... He didn\'t move at all, like a real puppet.

"What\'s going on ..." Feng bujue\'s mind was racing."Did I suffer some kind of mental attack?" He tucked Billy under his arm and turned to walk out the door."There\'s actually something that can knock Billy down with mental power?"

As he thought about it, he started to run.

"This is troublesome ... Once he faints, the video and audio surveillance on this floor will be restored, and the security team will be able to contact their superiors." Feng bujue\'s feet did not stop as he thought to himself, if I\'m not mistaken, I\'m now under the surveillance of someone else ... If I stay where I am and hesitate, I will be captured again ...

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang

As he approached the corner of the corridor, the sound in front of him became louder and louder. It sounded like the sound of a powerful physical attack hitting the metal wall.

"Hmph ... That doesn\'t sound too good ..." Even so, Feng bujue had no intention of stopping.

He knew very well that in this kind of nightmare, survival in danger should be a common thing. In any case, from the looks of it ... Whether it was time or space, he had no room to maneuver.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Not long after, the corner of the corridor was within reach. The closer he got, the more certain brother Jue was that there was the sound of battle ahead.

And this was definitely not a battle on the human level, but a battle between creatures far stronger than ordinary people.

The players of Thriller Paradise were no strangers to this sound. Scenario bosses, high-level players, powerful NPCs, and so on ... The commotion caused by a battle between supers was generally like that.

"What could it be ..." Finally, Feng bujue rushed out of the corner with a hint of curiosity.

He saw ...

"Where ... Is this ..."

Blank ... A strange blank.

The sound and the scene stopped abruptly, and his memory was also inexplicably cut off.

One second ago, Feng bujue was running with Billy, and the next second, he was sitting alone in a small room that was more than ten square meters in size. His wrists and ankles were cuffed.

"What happened?" Brother Jue suddenly felt a headache coming on. This was the first time he had experienced the strange feeling of his memory being so out of place."What ... Did I see just now?" he mumbled to himself."No... Not just now. It has been forty ... No, fifty minutes since I walked down that corridor ..."

He seemed to have "remembered" something, but at the same time, he "forgot" it. This process was like a self-perceived psychological loss, causing him a considerable sense of discomfort and mental pain.

Buzz buzz buzz

Just as brother Jue was mulling over this weird feeling, the electronic door to the room opened.

A woman in a white coat walked in.

She was a Caucasian woman in her forties. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and her long, curly hair was tied up behind her head.

"Hello, Mr. Austin." After she entered the room, she walked to the seat opposite Feng bujue and greeted brother Jue."I\'m professor Mara, and I have a few questions for you." As she spoke, she inadvertently glanced at the camera in the corner of the ceiling.

Seeing that, Feng bujue also raised his eyes. In this small room that could only accommodate one table and two chairs, there were actually two probes installed. They were most likely the kind that had an audio recording function.

"First, please describe the project you saw earlier." Seeing that brother Jue had no objections, professor Mara asked directly.

"What project?" "Billy?" Feng bujue asked.

"No," she said. "It\'s the one you saw when you brought Billy into the corridor," Mara said. She paused."\'It\' was fighting with our agents."

"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about." Feng bujue replied,"I don\'t think I\'ve seen any battle in my memory, but I do seem to have heard the sound of battle ..."

"Then do you remember what you did during this time?" Mara asked.

"I ..." Feng bujue wanted to know the answer to that question as well. That memory was clearly in his mind, but it felt like it had been blocked. Furthermore, every time he tried to recall it, he would feel an indescribable discomfort."...I don\'t know." He simply gave such an answer and asked,"do you have surveillance cameras? You should be the one telling me this. "

Mara stared at brother Jue for a few seconds but did not respond to his question. Instead, she changed the topic and asked,""How did you get here? do you still remember?"

"I was ..." Feng bujue suddenly remembered the question."I was captured by the Nine-Tailed Fox team and sent here."

"Where did you hear the name" nine-tailed fox "? "Mara\'s expression changed.

Feng bujue sneered but did not answer.

"And where did you ... Get the information on Project No. 106 and Project No. 513?" Mara asked.

"My lady." By then, Feng bujue had returned to his usual calm."Why don\'t we make a deal ..." The corner of his lips curled up, and he cast a perverted gaze at the middle-aged woman before him."For every question you answer, I will answer one of yours."

"Hehe ..." Professor Mara chuckled."Even if I\'m Jodie. Forst, you\'re not Anthony either. Hopkins, Mr. Austin. " She paused for a moment,"please answer my question seriously, or else ... You will be sent to a more rigorous interrogation system."

"It doesn\'t matter." Feng bujue leaned back in his chair and replied in a nonchalant tone.

"Alright, then." Professor Mara sighed and left his seat.

"Oh ... Right, doctor." Just as the man walked to the door, brother Jue suddenly said,"do you still remember the question you asked me?"

"What\'s the problem?" Mara replied.

"The project number ... Is No. 55?" he asked. After several minutes of conversation, Feng bujue had cleared his mind and found an SCP project in his mind palace that could explain his memory loss.

…………

"Project number: SCP 055

[Project category: ITER]

[Special suppression measures: the target is kept in a square room with a 5*5*2.5 meter cement wall (the wall is about 50 centimeters thick). There is an electrostatic barrier outside the cement wall, and the entrance is blocked by a heavy door of 2*2.5 meters. If the door was not kept open, it would automatically close and lock.

The security guards would be placed inside room no. 055. [It is strongly recommended that all personnel researching other SCP objects should maintain a distance of at least 50 meters from the room. Please do not question the rationality of this request.]

[Description: SCP055 is a "self-sealing secret" or "anti-mental virus." The physical properties of SCP 055, such as its nature, behavior, and origin, were all independently classified and clarified by the following entries:

How to capture SCP055 was unknown.

When it was captured and who captured it, these were all unknown.

The physical properties of SCP055 were unknown, but it was not indescribable or invisible. People could normally walk into the room of SCP-055 and observe it, then think, take notes, sketch, take photos, and even record it. There were a lot of such records in documents, but the surveillance personnel said that after such observations, the information would quickly flow out of people\'s minds.

When a person was sent to describe SCP055, they would feel their consciousness slacking and quickly lose interest in the mission; The person sent to do a quick sketch of the picture of SCP055 would not be able to remember what the picture looked like, and the person who observed the CCTV image would be exhausted and lose the relevant memory for about an hour.

Who authorized the sealing of this room, why did they build this room, and why did they build this room-these were all unknown.

Even though the room was easy to enter, no one had any knowledge about SCP055.

All these situations would be periodically discovered by the random readers of the files, and many people would be alerted. Then, it would only last for a few minutes, and people would quickly forget about these things.

There was a large number of scientific records and files on SCP055, but there was no way to study it. The Golden Foundation had planned to destroy SCP engine 055 more than once, or move it to another place, but for some reason, they had failed each time.

"SCP055 may be a serious threat, and may have killed thousands of people, but we will not know. [It is obvious that it will cause a terrifying influence on the meme/spirit, so we define it as the level of the Keter.]

[Document # 055 1: an analysis of SCP 055]

The author of the document thought. In fact, SCP055 had never been captured. Instead, it was voluntarily taken in, or it was an agent remotely controlled. It was placed in the foundation by another party for the following purposes:

One, silently observe and interfere with the Golden Foundation\'s activities.

Two, silently observe or interfere with other SCP areas.

Third, silently observe or interfere with the human world.

Fourth, silently observe or interfere with other SCP objects.

5. Observe silently or interfere with "data blocking".

[Any action taken against this potential threat seems to be meaningless, at least in theory.]
