I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 102
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
She wasn’t kidding, Lin You was serious.
Since she had to keep staring at SCP-173, she couldn’t see its face when encountering SCP-096. Then the two were dispatched together, and the enemy would fall into the dilemma of blinking or not—blinking means she would be killed by 173 in seconds, and not closing eyes means she would be torn apart by 096.
It was almost unsolvable!
She wasn’t worried about them fighting on their own. Foundation experiments have shown that 096 actually reacts at the moment the light reaches its retina. It doesn’t matter to the statue without biological tissue, and it is invincible after being provoked.
Although the range of accidental injuries is a bit larger, as soon as the five minutes arrive, it will return to the book, where it can still be regarded as controllable.
……Oh, the more she thought about it, the more she became excited.
Nevertheless, there was still the biggest problem before her.
—How can she get this guy away?
So far, even the Foundation had not researched the origin of SCP-173. It suddenly moved to Station 19 one day. The Foundation’s solution was to keep it in a closed and locked containment room. If something had to go in, there should be no less than three people entering, and two of them must always keep SCP-173 in their sight and notify each other before blinking.
It’s not that you can’t blink alternately with one eye open and the other closed. No one knows what will happen that way. In addition, this was not completely controllable. In case you are not sure about one, and you close your eyes at the same time for a moment—here’s your hot lunch.
Lin You circled the statue.
The plaster statue stood on the spot. When she first thought that she would have to stare at an unsightly statue, she thought about cursing it. But anyway, with it watching, SCP-173 can only let Lin You look at it.
She recalled the cards she had collected.
So far, those ghosts have more or less expressed their willingness to go with her, and even 096 had actively followed her in order to chase the Slit-mouthed Woman. But in the face of SCP-173, there was no possibility of communication at all—
Wrong.
Seeing the plaster statue on the ground, she suddenly realized.
Not all guys have been consulted by her.
The girl in the gap and plaster statue were equivalent to Xue Yao’s own when she joined the team. They may not be sentimental on their own, and more of that was due to Xue Yao’s reasons.
In other words, if this point was magnified a bit more exaggeratedly, it may not be impossible to forcibly take it away. Anyway, it was just a statue that can’t move when being seen. Whether to change the card or not, Lin You speculated that the real key point of the judgment was not her own will. As for if she proved that she was capable of taking away SCP-173, it may be done.
As for how to take away a statue—why not try to move it?
However, SCP-173 was composed of concrete and steel, and its lightest weight was hundreds of kilograms, so she couldn’t move it. The guy selected by random draw may not be able to move it, not to mention that she still wanted to leave this opportunity to a possible crisis in the future.
Nyarlathotep could come out by himself, and he could certainly move it. But it was estimated that for this man with the identity of the dignified evil god, doing things to demolish the house is fine, so he would do the work of carrying.
As soon as her eyes rolled, Lin You thought that she might have thought of a suitable candidate.
She touched the backpack and took out the event reward officially given to her from it.
The small silver hand bell was missing a bell hammer, and Lin You gently shook the bell twice. There was no sound from the handbell, but a soft ringing came to her ears for no reason. Her gaze swept around from left to right.
It was also the “butler’s bell” for SCP containment.
It could summon an almost omnipotent butler, and he would do his best to fulfill the requirements of others, and the way he appeared—
Lin You looked at the corner.
—Usually in the nearest corner.
The short, well-dressed white man walked calmly. He wore a tuxedo and his tie was neatly tied. His hair was combed meticulously behind his head, and his lenses reflected the silver light under the tiny light source in the dark.
“Good afternoon.”
He smiled and bowed.
“You can call me Diaz. Is there anything I can do for you?”
“Of course,” Lin You said immediately. She glanced at the statue that was still standing there, “Can you move it?”
The butler looked around.
“Oh.”
He was a little surprised and said, “I’m not sure, but I can try.”
With that said, he walked up to SCP-173. His arms crossed the armpits of the statue, and the butler who claimed to be Diaz squatted with a force, and actually carried it directly on his shoulders, which seemed to be effortless.
“What do I need to do now?” he asked kindly.
Lin You: “Uh—”
It seemed to be different from what she had imagined, and she secretly thought that it was really impossible to receive another card so easily.
Just moving was not enough, she had to find other tricks.
“Can you walk some distance with me?”
She said, “I want to find a place to lock it up.”
It was best if there was no button. After all, SCP-173’s short hands could press the button. Once it was locked in or a door with a permission card was encountered, it would be lost.
That’s why it had been hovering here.
“No problem at all.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
The butler nodded. Seeing that Lin You wanted to lift the plaster statue, he immediately stopped her with a smile and easily carried the plaster statue on the other shoulder.
She might as well continue to stare at SCP-173.
Lin You thought this was too reliable.
Her thoughts quickly turned away, thinking about whether to return to the room that held 173.
There are a little more than two minutes left before the plaster statue returned to the picture book.
After thinking about it, she turned around. But when Lin You just took a step, a violent shaking made her almost lose her balance.
Lin You: “…?!”
She held onto the wall. The butler’s reaction was even faster. He carried two statues on the left and the right, one of which was still a fragile plaster, and immediately stabilized his body when he felt the vibration of the ground.
“My God,” the skull’s reaction was more direct, “What the hell?!”
Lin You panted and looked over.
The reason for the violent vibration was that the collapsed area was not far from here. White smoke spread, and even though the light was dim, a big hole can be seen in the ceiling.
At the entrance of the cave, a huge claw fell heavily to the ground.
The paws were covered with scales and black stains. Half a human leg was also taken down, and the monster stepped on it and stuck its head down.
……Oops.
Lin You thought.
“Quick!”
She said: “Go to the nearest door!”
It didn’t take them too long, Lin You quickly unscrewed an unlocked iron door handle—it looked like a doctor’s private room inside.
The butler carrying SCP-173 had to lower his head behind him to pass. Without Lin You’s instructions, he immediately put down the statue after entering the door, turned around, and tightened the door lock properly.
The creature approached.
The huge physique made every step too heavy, but this did not mean that it is inflexible. In fact, it got into the corridor quite deftly.
Feeling the tremors under her feet, again and again, Lin You listened to the movement outside.
—Damn it.
She should have thought of it earlier.
After all, when passing through the corridor between the partitions, she heard the news of SCP-682 breaching containment from the helicopter. After more than two hours, it might have been destroyed in another place.
Recalling carefully, she was afraid that she was a lot closer to where she saw the white smoke at the time.
It’s no wonder it would hit.
If there is a name for SCP-682, it would be “Indestructible Reptile.”
It looked a bit like a giant reptile, possessing a high degree of intelligence, but it abhorred all life. It was first discovered because of a massacre in the countryside.
But its strength, speed, and reflexes were all at the top-notch. It would often try to breach containment, causing considerable casualties each time. For various reasons, the Foundation decided to execute it.
There were not many items executed by the Foundation at all, but SCP-682 became the only one.
They couldn’t kill it.
It had amazing regeneration and adaptability. Even if most of its bodies were destroyed, it could still try to move and communicate.
It was so difficult to destroy it as safely as possible. The Foundation had used various methods. They had executed it more than 70 times and even used many lethal SCPs, but none of them succeeded.
Even if this lizard-shaped monster was seriously injured, it not only survived but also spontaneously evolved and developed a certain degree of immunity.
It wouldn’t work like this.
Lin You thought.
Not to mention that the time for the appearance of the plaster was coming soon, and they couldn’t continue to control 173. SCP-682 must have just completed a slaughter. It was bloodthirsty, and it would be possible to see if there was a human smell through the door.
“Let me.”
While she was thinking, the butler suddenly smiled and said.
“I can’t kill the creature, but I can attract its attention for a long time. Although I will definitely be defeated by it in the end, I can use all kinds of harmful substances to trap myself. In this way, when it eats me, it will definitely be harmed and can be delayed for a while.”
Lin You: “…”
What?
“Don’t worry about me.”
He continued.
“I am here in response to the ringtone to serve others. When you ring the bell next time, I will still appear in front of you.” A tangled expression flashed across his face, “Although I don’t know how to do it.”
“No no no!”
Lin You put away her surprise, and immediately waved her hand to deny: “You don’t need to do that.”
“Actually…” She whispered a few words in the ear of the butler, who was shocked and confused, “How?”
Butler: “If…you think so…”
“I believe—”
Lin You looked at the card she had just drawn, “This is all destiny.”
This disaster that SCP-682 was about to encounter was heaven-sent.
The footsteps were getting closer.
When she heard it come to the nearby door, Lin You made a gesture.
—Now!
The iron door was suddenly opened, and the butler threw the statue to the ground. When he pulled away and returned, Lin You, who quickly closed the door, did not forget to shout at the big lizard: “Take your first-meeting gift!”
SCP-682 looked up in amazement.
“………………”
? ? ? ! ! ! !
The colorful statue in front of him almost made it unable to suppress a sharp and angry howl. SCP-682 still remembered the last time it was introduced into this guy’s containment area—it stared at him for eighteen hours without blinking.
It was angry that it was fooled again.
Anyway, it was only this statue.
It just had a full meal, and it would just stare at it if it had enough energy, SCP-682 thought, then go in and kill the humans—
However, at almost the same second, it saw the guy shrinking next to the statue.
The guy who looked like a human but was inhuman was pale and thin. The paper bag on his head had been removed, and he covered his lower face with his long arms and fingers.
SCP-096 slowly raised its head and met its gaze.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Oof.
