Thriller Paradise

During this time, other than trying to contact the outside world, the only thing the security team could do was wait.

However, after 30 minutes, this kind of waiting ... Seemed to be unable to continue.

"Vice-captain ... I ... I think I just saw something." One of the team members walked up to Gore and read in a trembling voice.

Although he was wearing a full mask, one could guess from his tone that his face was filled with fear.

"Don\'t panic ... I saw it too. " Gore replied,"it\'s just a ghostly shadow. It\'s just an illusion ... Just ignore it."

"But ... But ..." The team member continued,"I can still feel ... That he\'s hiding somewhere ... And staring at me."

"Yes, vice-captain." At this time, the team member named dan walked over."Ever since I heard the bell of 513, I\'ve been having this feeling ..."

"Me too ..." He said.

"What do we do? Vice-captain. "

The rest of the security team members also gathered around. The fear in their hearts had long reached a critical point. All they needed was an opportunity for their cowardice and fear to be revealed.

"Alright! Do you think I\'m not afraid?" Gore suddenly shouted. As the saying goes, extreme fear breeds anger. By shouting this, he could give himself and the others courage."I heard the bell of 513 just like you did. I felt the same as you! But being afraid can\'t solve any problems, so you\'d better buck up and face the reality like a man!"

"Hehehe ... Well said." At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the broadcast speaker in the laboratory."Vice-captain Gore, you are indeed the only level-four member of this team."

Hearing this, Gore raised his head, looked around, and said loudly,""How did you get through to Guang ..."

"That\'s not important. " Feng bujue knew what the man wanted to ask, so he cut him off."I know that you must be very confused. The questions that are bothering you are \'why can I hear you\',\'why can I speak through the radio\',\'why can\'t you open the door to the containment room\', and \'am I still in the containment room\'..." What I can tell you is ...... As early as 20 minutes ago, I have already left the base you are in. At this moment, out of humanitarian spirit, I would like to remind everyone ... The space cycle effect that trapped you has disappeared. You can now leave through the cargo passageway. "

At this point, brother Jue changed the topic."Of course ... Even if you manage to make it to the emergency shelter, I\'m afraid you\'ll be in deep trouble." He always used a rather cheerful tone to announce very bad news, which was indeed annoying."As for the reason ... It\'s naturally because of the previous SCP-513. I\'m sorry to tell you that those affected by this SCP basically end up committing suicide. " "As time goes by, the frequency of 513 X1\'s appearance will increase, and it will cause serious mental damage to you." "Even if you force yourself to sleep with sleeping pills or knock yourself out, it\'s useless, because when you lose your consciousness, he will appear in your \'dreams\' and launch a physical attack on you ... And this will cause you to wake up quickly. Over time, you will collapse due to this constant psychological pressure. Severe sleep loss will lead to delusions, hostility, excessive vigilance, and depression. At that time ... Death will be a relief. "

"You ... Didn\'t you hear the ringtone of 513 just like us?!" One of the security guards replied loudly,"why can you still say it so easily?"

"Hehe ... I can\'t tell you the details." Feng bujue smiled and replied,"in any case, I\'m different from you ..."

Brother Jue was indeed fearless. Firstly, as a player, he would not fall asleep or enter an unconscious state in the scenario, so 513 X1 could not attack him in his dream. Secondly, he did not feel fear at all. Even if the "glimpses" of 513-1 appeared repeatedly (usually at intervals of 14-237 minutes), it would not cause him any psychological pressure.

"B * stard ..." Hearing this, Gore couldn\'t hold back anymore."No matter who you are ... Even if you can escape for a while, you can\'t escape ..."

"Lalalalalalalalala! I can\'t hear you,~can\'t hear you, lalalalalalalalala!" Feng bujue was like a child who refused to admit his mistake, and he started to shout at the top of his voice over the radio."You guys can do whatever you want~it has nothing to do with me anymore."

After saying this, his voice came to an abrupt end.

Then, silence descended on the laboratory ...

"Vice-captain, if what he said is true, then we ..." Dan said after a minute.

"This kid is very cunning. We can\'t trust him ..." Although Gore was angry, he had not lost his rational thinking."According to my analysis ... He said this to us for two reasons ..." He paused."The first is to create panic. Even if 513\'s effect is as he said, we might not die. He\'s making it sound so realistic ... He\'s just trying to scare us and put pressure on us. " He thought for a moment and said,"his second purpose is to get us away ... In my opinion, he is probably still hiding in the containment room of the anatomalous project ... The broadcast just now was made by him using the ability of the project." He snorted coldly."Hmph ... If he had really left this base 20 minutes ago, he wouldn\'t have bothered with us. What humanitarian spirit? do you think we are three years old?"

…………

At the same time, in B3 corridor.

Feng bujue was carrying Billy on his shoulder and walking at a steady pace.

At this time, he was relying on Billy\'s ability to hear every word that Gore said.

As expected ... The NPCs in this scenario are highly intelligent. Brother Jue read it out loud,"a Level 4 security guard, under the premise of being hit by 513, can still make such a standard analysis ..."

"Even so ..." Billy said."It\'s still within your calculations, right?" He turned to look at brother Jue."The reasoning that he came up with was completely under your guidance. It was within your expectations ..."

"There\'s nothing to be proud of. " Feng bujue replied,"from escaping from the room, to listening in on their conversation, to communicating with them through the radio ... All of this was done with your help. I can\'t do these three things on my own. " His tone sounded quite sincere."In short ... Without the support of ability, the plan can only be a fantasy."

"Hmm ..." Bi looked at brother Jue with a strange expression and said,"I didn\'t know ... That you would be so humble."

"What did he say?" "I have always been a realistic person," Feng bujue said.

"Hehe ..." Hearing this, Billy laughed and didn\'t say anything.

"In any case ..." Feng bujue also quickly changed the topic."The seven of them have already followed my plan ... And are staying in the lab." As he spoke, he turned into a corner of the corridor."Let\'s leave them there for now and wait for the effect of 513 to show ... Then you can collect the \'panic energy\'."

"Er ... Feng bujue." "It\'s better not to mention the \'panic energy\'," Billy said.

"What\'s wrong?" Brother Jue glanced at him."Could it be that ... The way you absorb the power ... Is still a secret?"

"That\'s right ..." Billy replied."Even beings of a higher level than me don\'t know that I grew in this way."

"It sounds like ... If this secret is known by the four pillar gods and their confidants ..." Feng bujue muttered to himself."You\'re in trouble."

"I can\'t say it \'s\' bad \'." Billy replied,"it\'s just that ... They might use this to limit the growth of my power."

"Here\'s the problem. " Feng bujue continued,"this kind of critical information ... Is it really okay to reveal it to me?"

"To be fair ... I\'m extremely unwilling to tell you about this." Billy replied,"but in order to escape this universe, I can only say it."

"Hmph ... That\'s true," Feng bujue sneered."With your Power Limited, you have to keep collecting and using the energy of panic to escape. If you insist on hiding this setting, it is likely to cause a lot of inconvenience in actual action. "

"Besides ..." Billy added,"with your intelligence, it\'s highly possible that you\'ve figured out this setting on your own. After weighing the pros and cons ... I think I should tell you myself. "

While they were conversing, Feng bujue had already carried Billy to the door of one of the containment rooms.

"Very good. The guards here are no longer here." Brother Jue opened the electronic door and looked at the empty space before him.

"I can\'t believe you even thought of taking this gun ..." Billy said.

"When I saw this sign in the corridor, I wanted to come in and take it, but I couldn\'t get rid of the security guards at that time, so I couldn \'t." As Feng bujue said that, he had already walked into the lab."Theoretically speaking, this thing should not be in this base. I believe this universe that we are in should be one of the many parallel worlds that have an SCP Foundation ... Therefore, there are many details that are different from what I know."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the middle of the room and stood in front of a safe.

"Project number: SCP 1998

[Project level: Safe]

[Special containment measures: SCP-1998 should be contained in a locked safe at the \'data deletion\' station. Experiments related to 1998 could only be carried out according to the following measures: First of all, an application should be signed and approved by the Foundation\'s Ethics Committee. They would provide suitable Class D personnel and corresponding test parameters. Secondly, all the contents related to the experiment should be personally monitored by a representative of the Ethics Committee and displayed to the other members of the committee through a closed circuit television. Third, under any circumstances, the 1998 should not be used for any purpose other than experimental testing. Any personnel or Department that tries to use the 1998 to distort the free will of Class D personnel and gain benefits will be considered to be directly demoted or redistributed.]

[Description: SCP engine 1998 is a pistol with a unique appearance. Its maker and manufacturer are unknown. The pistol was controlled by a piston-shaped component directly below the barrel. The 1998 did not use any form of ammunition. Instead, it fired an energy pulse through unknown mechanism. The energy source of 1998 could not be determined; It didn\'t need any external power or energy source, although it did need to cool down after each shot or reload in some way.

The beam of light shot out by 1998 is ineffective against all inorganic, inanimate, and non-human materials. It will dissipate after coming into contact with non-human bodies or clothes that are in direct contact with human bodies. [Pulse] would also dissipate after it was shot out beyond 20 meters.

The energy pulse shot by the 1998 was mainly effective on the human brain, especially the motor cortex, the elementary hearing cortex, and the hippocampus. No matter which part of the body was hit by the pulse, those parts would be affected.

The target hit by 1998 will experience three consecutive effects. One, the individual hit would turn to the operators of 1998 and sit in front of them. Placing obstacles on their path will cause the affected person to move unsteadily and lose balance. Once the affected person is facing the user of the device without standing, their movements will stop regardless of whether the position or posture at the time is comfortable.

"Second, the affected person will experience functional paralysis. He will not be able to freely control his motor organs without eye contact with the device operator.

[Third, the affected person will attentively listen to and remember everything the controller says during the period of paralysis. Any words conveyed to the affected person during this period will be completely and perfectly remembered for the rest of their lives. Any orders given to the affected person during this period will be completed as perfectly as possible after the paralysis ends.] This "receiving information" period would last for about 19 minutes, after which the affected person would regain control of their movements.

[Under normal circumstances, the affected person of 1998 will enter a state of continuous shock and psychological trauma for a period of time. This is considered to be related to traumatic pain on the body (described by the two testees as \'unbearable pain\' and \'as if you are in hell\'), and this pain is caused by exposure to 1998.]

[Appendix 1998 1: SCP 1998 was discovered by a group of trekkers while walking along the National sightseeing road on the naziz highway in western Tennessee. It was kept in a cardboard box, and the label on it was written in Greek letters with a mixture of Latin and cheroki grammar. [The translation of these labels is hard to understand.]

[Remark: after experiments, it has been determined that giving an impossible task (an order that goes against the laws of physics) will cause the affected person to act against the order. However, they would feel regret and their self-esteem would be low because they thought they had \'failed\'. [The affected person who is given an order that may cause physical discomfort or danger will carry out the order regardless of the potential danger. They will always try to refuse treatment for unhealed wounds caused during the process of the mission.]

Even though this SCP project was classified as \'Safe\', from its actual effect ... If it fell into the hands of someone like Feng bujue, the destruction of the world would not be far away.

When brother Jue first saw the entry, his first reaction was ... This so-called \'standard mental concentration enhancer\', wasn\'t it the pistol version of GEASS? And there were no side effects. Then his second reaction was to expand on it ... But it wasn\'t in the list.

"Hmm ... As expected, the key is needed to open it ..." After testing it before the safe, Feng bujue mumbled.

"That\'s a problem," Billy said."The key to this project is either with the manager of this floor or in the hands of the management staff of this base. As for those people ... They are either in the emergency shelter or the command center. " He paused for half a second."Of course ... He could have died somewhere in the base."

"Can\'t you use your ability to take out the thing inside?" Feng bujue asked.

"I can, but ..." Billy hesitated for half a second.

"Will it consume a lot of energy?" Feng bujue could roughly guess the other\'s concern.

"I\'ll use the spatial grafting ability to get you out of my own room, use the regional perception enhancement ability to help you monitor those security guards, and then use the mechanical interference ability to help you speak through the radio ... All these are very energy consuming." Billy continued,"also, I have to maintain the video and audio signal shielding of B3 ... Although I\'ve been dormant for quite a long time before today and accumulated a lot of energy, but ..."

"Alright, I won\'t trouble you anymore." Feng bujue said,"but then again ... Are you really being \'greatly restricted\'? I can still use so many abilities at the same time ..."

"It\'s just some insignificant tricks. " Billy smiled bitterly."I\'m different from Sam Montier and Ravid, who have physical combat abilities. All my power is reflected in psychokinesis, spatial abilities, and various long-range interference abilities." He shook his head."Do you think I\'m still very strong now? Stop joking ... In the main universe, as long as it\'s within the scope of the \'system\', I can even arrange the structure of the script. But what about here? Even I can\'t stand looking at the folded space I made ... A straight corridor, a cycle every few hundred meters ... What the hell ..."

"Hmm...So you do have a lot of goals." Feng bujue narrowed his eyes.

"That\'s enough ... Rather than testing me and mocking me ..." Billy already knew what brother Jue was doing. He immediately exposed him and said,"why don\'t you think about how to open this safe?"
