I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 100

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Now that he actively agreed to lead the way, he naturally had to go ahead.

But there were still some weird pictures that lingered in the mask’s mind, which made it look back at the girl from time to time, and then abruptly resist the impulse.

—Why do such people exist?

Since shaking her hand, the thought had been spinning around in its heart uncontrollably.

—Why were there such demons in the world?

As the saying goes, he who knows current affairs is a good man. Possessive Mask was not a guy who was too stupid to understand the situation; on the contrary, the experience accumulated over the years was enough to let him know how to act pragmatically.

After knowing what the other party was thinking about, although it did not dare to resist in the face, and took the initiative to show its loyalty, it also took the initiative to lead the way, but it would not be squashed by others, and it still couldn’t help but wonder how to move.

“Why aren’t we talking?”

Anyway, it couldn’t stand the quiet and silly character. Aside from the fact that it was good at using words to manipulate listeners, SCP-035 naturally liked to communicate with all kinds of humans, and simply broke the silence cheerfully.

“It’s too quiet like this!” It manipulated the body flexibly, spreading its hands, “You know, I’ve been locked there all the time, and they even sent someone to do interviews with me and interrupt from time to time. I don’t like to get involved in conversations.”

“When I am alone, I often remember the moment when I was just created…”

This guy said so much, Lin You thought, but it reminded her of the skull when they first met. Even if no one picked up the problem, she could mumble to herself for a long time.

It’s much better now, knowing when to be quiet—for example, now, after a period of time together, some tacit understanding had been cultivated, and it also guessed what she might be thinking and kept quiet.

She recovered, and then realized that the self-report of the Possessive Mask had come to an end.

“Later I was thrown aside,” he said, “For centuries in a cramped furnace—”

Lin You said “Ah”.

“…I’m sorry.”

She said: “I just zoned out, can I trouble you to say it again?”

SCP-035: “…”

That’s not what it says in the script!!

It had made up countless kinds of experiences for itself, and this time it also selected its favorite version. In the past, whenever it did so, it would succeed in taking this to gradually dominate the conversation and make those who listen to it empathize with it.

Once empathizing with it, it was the beginning of being persuaded.

But this time—this time it was hard for it to speak emotionally for a long time, and she said she didn’t hear?!

Did! Not! Hear!

“He” turned his back to Lin You, and the corners of the mouth of the mask that was originally smiling drooped down. It had a certain ability to manipulate surrounding objects, and the dim light bulb at the top of the corridor was extinguished, and it was about to explode—

Lin You: “Huh?”

Before her voice fell, the lights were normal.

The mask that turned around was smiling, as if the face changed just now did not exist.

“It doesn’t matter,” it said kindly, “Then don’t talk about it. Let’s change the subject. What do you want to do most now?”

Since it was forcing her to say the way out, it was almost certain that what she wanted to do most is to leave, and then this can use this to induce—

“What do I want to do the most?” Lin You cupped her chin, thinking, “Well, to get you stuck.”

SCP-035: “………………”

It took a step back subconsciously in horror.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

Lin You said slowly.

“I don’t care if you go or not. I asked you just to show me the way out. If you want me to speak, stay here and I will get another card.”

…It was a pity that there were only fifteen card slots.

“Facing a guy who lives by manipulating other people’s thinking, you have to know what it listens to and what it doesn’t listen to,” she said, “Don’t bother. I won’t believe a word of this.”

She spoke lightly.

Very few people can not be moved by the Possessive Mask. This was the first time he had encountered such a really unsophisticated guy, and his face was uncertain.

It just can’t do the same with the Foundation that advocates “protection”, and when they are annoyed by them, it breaks the wearer’s neck and refuses to talk. The Foundation will only put it in the cabinet again, but if the person in front of you does this, it will really be used as a frisbee.

Or worse.

“If you go the other way and be honest, everything will be different. I will take you with me. And, as you expect, you can communicate with as many people as possible.”

“And, this is the real purpose I let you out.” Lin You showed the card she picked up earlier, “Do you know where SCP-914 is? Is it on this site?”

Possessive Mask looked at her.

In the gap between its eyes and the mouth, you can see the facial features of the person who is occupied by it, and the face was turned slightly black by the liquid oozing out of it.

It suddenly laughed.

“Okay, very good—” Possessive Mask said flatly, “Rest assured, I won’t lie to you again.”

“It’s a coincidence. I escaped once before and accidentally snooped on those researchers.”

Lin You very much doubted the authenticity of the words “accidentally” in his mouth, but she didn’t bother to expose it, just watched the other person leaning over gracefully.

“Since you are looking for it, please follow me here.”

Lin You wanted to find SCP-914, of course for her own reasons.

It should be fortunate that the thing was contained in this site, otherwise it would be inconvenient.

SCP-914, The Clockworks.

This machine of unknown origin can process anything that is put into it. The accuracy is divided into five grades, and the highest precision grade can even be processed beyond imagination. She only had a second-level security certificate in her hand. She guessed that many places were still not accessible to her, but if she used The Clockworks, she may really be able to increase the card’s authority like in the fan game.

“Cross the stairs here and just go down.”

The Possessive Mask pointed to the touch screen by the door, “Of course, you have to verify your identity—”

Before it was finished, Lin You had already “popped” the Level 2 card. A shallow light passed through the screen from top to bottom, and with a continuous buzzing sound, the mechanical door retracted into the left wall.

Now that the doors were open—

“Lead the way to this point,” she turned to the Possessive Mask, “I guess you know what to do now?”

The latter shrugged.

“Please also keep your promise.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

In the darkness illuminated only by dim light, the evaporation of a snow-white mask in place was also quite abrupt. Lin You raised the extra card in her hand, trying to get it close to the light source to see what was written.

NAME: SCP-035 POSSESSIVE MASK

CARD NUMBER: 028

LEVEL: SR

REMARKS: USUALLY IT LOOKS LIKE AN ORDINARY CERAMIC COMEDY MASK, BUT ONCE IT APPROACHES OR MAKES VISUAL CONTACT, THERE MAY BE A STRONG URGE TO WEAR IT. CAPABLE OF OCCUPYING ALL HUMANOID OBJECTS, POSSESSING THE ABILITY OF PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, IT USED TO INDUCE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO COMMIT SUICIDE OR TURN INTO ITS SLAVES ONLY BY VERBAL PERSUASION TO HELP IT ESCAPE. THEREFORE, IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS “KETER” BY THE FOUNDATION (NOT ONLY SHOWED HOSTILITY TO HUMANS) AND HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE DURING CONTAINMENT BREACHES. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DELUSIONS OF PERSECUTION RECENTLY. PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO SUMMON IT WITH OTHER CARDS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, OR IT MAY SCARE IT AWAY.

Lin You: “…”

She was just thinking about it! Why was this a direct persecution of delusion?

…Maybe she underestimated the lethality of seeing those pictures directly?

Lin You was silent for two seconds, and still put the card into the picture book.

Even she herself did not expect that the first card she got after coming to the Foundation would be SCP-035. It’s true that it didn’t have much combat power, but combat power can’t be simply measured by the value of force. After thinking about it, and considering the possible competitive mode in the future, Lin You deeply felt that it was still necessary to have a guy who can communicate telepathically and have a lot of talking skills.

It’s not just dealing with other players. If she encountered a ghost with a certain amount of intelligence in the future, it might be convinced by it.

The lighting system was malfunctioning, so she had to be more careful when going down the stairs. Lin You put her fingers on the handrails and walked down the first step. She had already taken twelve steps. When she reached the third step from the bottom, she only felt that she had stepped on something slimy, and had to avoid slipping.

…?!

Lin You grabbed the handrail in time to stabilize her body, so she didn’t slip directly. She squatted down and looked down carefully, only to find a pool of unknown liquid on the steps.

The color was really similar to that of the stairs, and it was normal if you couldn’t see it. Lin You squinted and saw that the stairs had been corroded into potholes.

“Maybe,” she said, “Some acquaintances have been here.”

Skull: “…”

It thought that SCP-106 probably didn’t want to recognize this acquaintance at all.

The traces on the ground were very similar to those she had seen before. Lin You was almost certain it was left by the Old Man, but she couldn’t figure out why he was here.

…Could it be…to avoid her?

Not to mention, the more you think about it, the more likely it is.

Because he felt that she was still wandering around, he quickly slipped over here to see if he could find suitable prey.

Lin You held her breath and walked forward a little bit.

Possessive Mask really didn’t lie to her this time.

A giant machine that was several meters high occupied most of the space in this tens of square meters room. Two compartments with a height of one person were connected by a dial and a knob. Above the compartments, input and output are marked respectively.

It was The Clockworks.

But Lin You was not looking at it.

She was looking at the two security guards who fell in front. They lied on their sides, with guns across their chests. Their eyes widened in horror as if they had seen some terrible guy at the last moment before death. Their necks slumped softly as if they had been severed.

There were also two round black stains on the wall in the room, which were obviously the entrances and exits used by the Old Man.

The skull sighed, “Were these two people killed by him?”

“No, not him, but another SCP.”

Lin You said.

“If it was the Old Man, you have also seen his methods. He will only tear the victim to pieces indiscriminately, and will not specifically twist the neck.”

What’s more, the two guards were completely clean, with no black mud left.

Lin You stepped forward and touched their bodies.

They were warm.

Although the person was not killed by SCP-106, it also showed one thing—he just passed by here not long ago.

Since hiding her like this—

She stared at the skull and made it scared.

“What are you, you, girl, what are you going to do!” For a moment, thinking of everything he had witnessed so far, the latter said in horror, “I, I, I’ll call the police!”

Did it finally decide to fight with its own people?!

“It’s useless if you call the police here.”

Lin You smiled and said, “Don’t worry, there is nothing else. I’m just asking you to do me a favor.”

Skull: “…First, tell me what you are doing.”

“It is recorded in the document that the containment of SCP-106 failed, and they all relied on bait to catch him back.”

Lin You said seriously.

“Using a D-class personnel as bait, the whole station broadcasted his screams to attract SCP-106,” She said, “There are no broadcasting conditions, but he hasn’t gone far, so he should be able to hear a scream.”

“If I call him, he might recognize it. So I can’t, it’s up to you.”

It just happened to be this way, and the cool-down time on the randomly drawn card was about to be restored. The scene would be cleaned up.

She just had to hurry up. The sound insulation here was good, and if the other party really went farther, they wouldn’t be able to hear it.

Skull: “…”

Okay, I’ll try it.

Even if it didn’t need to take a deep breath, it opened its mouth wide and brewed some emotions.

At the same time it burst into shouts, Lin You responded extremely quickly and covered her ears so that the incoming sound would not be too harsh.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” the skull strained its voice, “Ahhhhhhhh I’m in pain!”

Lin You: “…It’s too fake, it’s a bit terrible.”

Skull: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—!!!”

A dozen meters away, the Old Man who was walking slowly in the dark stopped.

He followed the sound source, dragged his rotting body, and turned around.

The tragedy of “Pocket Dimension” being beaten was still vivid. In order to relieve his mood, he simply changed a place to look for prey—but this time, he won’t drag them into the house again.

Even if he decided to make a quick decision, he hadn’t met the right guy yet. Listening to the screams not far away, the old man approached step by step, with a wide grin.

His movements affected most of the muscles that had been corrupted, and he looked like a particularly crippled man. Dark footprints sprawled under the floor, and SCP-106 hadn’t had time to put away its smile when it crossed the last wall.

The Old Man raised his head and was about to look at the prey he would use to vent his resentment with joy.

“You didn’t expect it? It’s me again!”

Lin You smiled and waved to him.

“Are you shocked, surprised, or irritated?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
