Five minutes later, the command center …

“Senior officer!” It was still the same agent. He ran to his officer’s side anxiously and reported,”according to the image sent by B1 …”

“That’s enough,” The officer interrupted him,”I saw it …” He stared at the big screen in front of him, his eyes fixed on a black area.”He destroyed all the video and audio acquisition devices in the containment measures of SCP-738, right?”

“Should we detonate the cone-shaped bomb? Senior officer. ” The agent immediately replied.

“What’s the point?” The officer asked without turning his head,”since he knew that he had to destroy all the surveillance equipment, it means that he was prepared. How could he move things to the area where the cone-shaped bombs are located?”

“This …” The agent was at a loss for words.

“This incident reminded us … That we still need to improve the containment of 738.” The officer continued,”it’s not enough to just install a cone-shaped bomb in the middle of the room. We didn’t consider the situation where ‘when the facility is in a major crisis, the room without the protection of the security personnel will be invaded’… Obviously, the intruder will not wear an explosive collar …” He paused for a moment.”Hmph … Speaking of which, the behavior of this Cla.s.s D today has sounded the alarm in many ways. In the future, we should add a set of ‘in the event that the base is in a crisis of total loss of control’ to all the SCPs, which can be used as the final means of protection. ”

“Then … What should we do now? Senior officer. ” The agent asked again.

“Aren’t the people who are going to capture him already on their way …” The officer continued,”we can only hope that … Before they arrive, that Cla.s.s D member has not completed some kind of ‘deal’ that poses a threat to us.”

“That shouldn’t be a problem, Sir.” The agent replied,”generally speaking, the trade that a grade D personnel would choose is at most ‘freedom’ or something like that.”

“Ha …” The officer laughed. He straightened his suit.”Steven, what do you think the intelligence of this Cla.s.s D personnel is?”

The agent’s name was Steven.

“Uh … I’ve already retrieved his information, Sir.” As Steven spoke, he took out a form from his pocket, lowered his head, and read,”this Cla.s.s D member’s code name is 00250, original name is Rudy. Austin, 25 years old this year, his criminal record has never stopped since he dropped out of high school. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for first-degree murder last year … After testing, his IQ is 83 and he has a tendency for slight violence. ”

“83？”The officer looked back at Steven and took the form.”Hmph …” He snorted.”This is wrong.”

“What’s wrong? Senior officer. ” Steven asked.

“Do you think a person with-lower IQ than the average (even by American standards) would think of using spp 294 to deal with SP 173?” The officer hit the nail on the head.”Before that …” He looked at the form again.”Where did he hear about the special characteristics of SCP294?”

“This …” Steven’s expression became more and more unsightly.”Could he be …”

“That’s right …” The officer replied in a deep voice.”I suspect that he’s a spy planted by the chaos splitter through some means.” He stuffed the form back into Steven’s hand.”If that’s the case, this information is meaningless …”

The more Steven thought about it, the more he felt that his officer made sense.””That’s right … Most Cla.s.s D personnel might not even understand the SCPs they are operating, let alone the other SCPs. And this person … The first time he used SCP 294, he caused the project ‘unable to generate the input content’. This shows that not only does he understand the characteristics of SCP 294 … But he was also testing its bottom line. ”

“All in all … We have to capture or eliminate this person as soon as possible. The potential threat of him being active in the base is too great.” The officer then said,”we have to control or kill him before he comes into contact with more ITER-level projects. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable …”

…………

At the same time, inside the containment measures of scpnovel 738.

Due to the current state of the base, the security guards who were originally in charge of guarding the place had long disappeared. They had either gone to the underground emergency shelter or had already died somewhere else. In any case, brother Jue did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

The door of the containment device was opened by the control desk of the external laboratory, so there was no need for a pa.s.s card.

After arriving at the lab, Feng bujue destroyed all the surveillance cameras and audio equipment in the room and the lab. Then he moved the three-piece set of furniture. He knew very well that when he moved the tables and chairs, he just had to be careful to avoid the cone bomb in the middle of the room.

Long story short, after some work, brother Jue finally sat down on the high-back chair that was SCP-738-2. In front of him was a table labeled SCP 738 1, and the “throne” SCP 738 3 was behind him.

“Hehe … I didn’t expect that we would meet like this.”

A moment later, a gentle and mysterious voice came from behind him.

Feng bujue turned around and saw a black-haired man.

He was a man with an outstanding temperament. He could show the youthful vigor of a twenty-year-old, and he could also show the maturity and humor of a forty-year-old. However, no one could tell how old he actually looked …

Secondly, he was also a very charming man, although objectively speaking, he could not be considered a handsome man …

“From your tone … You know me?” Feng bujue replied without changing his expression.

“Yes, you’re a famous person,” the man replied with a smile.”…Feng bujue.”

“I see …” Brother Jue laughed.

“Yes, that’s it.” The other party replied.

“I have yet to ask for your name, Sir.” Feng bujue added.

“Vincent.” Vincent replied indifferently.

“Oh?” Feng bujue’s eyes flickered, and he immediately sized the man up.”Hehe … It’s an honor to meet you …”

These two “nice to meet you” did not carry any sarcasm or hypocrisy. Brother Jue really had heard a lot about this man.

“Ha … Woody must have said a lot of bad things about me to you, right?” Vincent leaned his right elbow on the armrest of the throne and rested his chin on one hand. He looked down at brother Jue in a cool pose.

“If you really are Vincent, then you don’t have to ask this question.” Feng bujue used his hand to tap his temple.”Can’t you just go inside and find the answer yourself?”

“My dear friend …” Vincent put on a charming smile.”You have to know that, most of the time, the ‘answer’ is not the most important thing.” He paused for half a second and continued,”whether it’s the limit of mortal wisdom or the most powerful Sage who has become a deity … They’re all stopped at the level of ‘answers’. But what was the point of that? When the former was asked what one plus one was, he instantly got the answer ‘two’. The latter already knew the question and the final answer was ‘two’ even before someone asked what one plus one is. ”

Then, he looked at Feng bujue and paused for a moment.””Hehe … But you and I … Why do we have to be so stupid?”

“You’re indeed not second to none. ” As Feng bujue said that, he grabbed the chair and turned around to sit opposite the man.”You said a bunch of nonsense. Not only did you not give me the ‘answer’, you even denied my ‘question’.”

“Hahaha …” Vincent shook his head and laughed heartily.”Your reaction is very ‘smart’, Feng bujue … The first thing you said to me was a test. When I called you by your real name, the test came to an end. You entered a different state … I’ll call it the ‘serious state of Feng bujue’. In this state, your thinking speed and methods have clearly improved, and you have reached the ‘super-dimensional vision’.”

He pursed his lips and looked at brother Jue with a complicated expression.””Use your own perspective to observe yourself, and at the same time, use the perspective of an observer to observe yourself. At the same time, use a personality as vast as the universe to observe this observer … In this way, you can solve all the problems in time, s.p.a.ce, subjective consciousness, and objective reality …”

As he spoke, Feng bujue’s expression changed as well. A rare, real solemness appeared on his face.

“The number of people who can reach this level in the human world can be counted on one hand …” Vincent laughed and continued,”you are indeed the ‘chosen’ by Woody. Hehe … It seems that his deal with ‘that person’ was not a bad one …”

“Whose deal did he make? What deal? What does it have to do with me?” Feng bujue asked three questions in a row.

“Don’t worry …” Vincent raised his left hand and waved his fingers.”Some things, when the time comes … You’ll naturally know, I promise.”

“Can you answer my question with something other than nonsense?” Feng bujue said coldly.

“Sure.” Vincent replied with two short words and then stopped talking.

“Hey, hey …” Brother Jue was also silent for two seconds, then he said,”don’t tell me that this ‘can’ is considered a ‘not-nonsense’ answer?”

“That’s right. ” Vincent laughed.”This ‘that’s right’ counts as one too.”

Bang Bang Bang

In the next second, a gunshot was heard.

“Why do you have to do this?” Vincent looked down at the bullet hole in his heart. Although the bullet went in, no blood came out at all.”I thought you and I had a similar sense of humor?”

“Yeah, I’m trying to make use of this sense of humor.” As Feng bujue said that, he raised the a.s.sault rifle again and aimed at Vincent’s crotch.

“Alright, alright … Let’s talk properly.” Vincent turned to the side and crossed his legs.”Don’t do these unnecessary things.”

“Then I won’t beat around the bush with you.” Feng bujue knew that this demon before him had the same level of intelligence as Woody. Between smart people, they could be very profound or very direct.”You should be more aware and tell me everything you can.”

“Don’t be like this~” at this moment, Vincent’s tone suddenly changed. It could not be said that he was deliberately acting cute, but it was indeed a bit like that.”You are now on SCP-738 … The devil Deal, as The name suggests … We are going to make a deal.” He leaned against the back of the throne and spread his hands.”If you don’t pay the corresponding price, you won’t get any substantial reward. I can’t do anything about it.”

“Is that so …” Feng bujue said.”Then, next, are we going to put on a show of ‘the devil baiting the mortals’?”

“If you don’t mind, I’ll start now.” Vincent turned his head slightly and looked at brother Jue with a sincere look.

“Sure~you do it.” Feng bujue replied weakly.

“Ah~fame, power, wealth … Everything in this world … Is with me …” Vincent recited in an impa.s.sioned manner, as if he was reciting a poem,”mortal~what do you want? say it!”

“Is this how you lure others into making a deal?” Feng bujue narrowed his eyes and looked at Vincent with disdain.”I can’t help but ask … How did you become Satan’s trusted aide?”

“Haha …” Vincent laughed.”Alright, I’ll be more serious.” He cleared his throat.”How about I give you li Ruoyu?”

“What did you just say?” When Feng bujue heard those three words, his expression immediately changed. It became cold and terrifying.

“Look,” Vincent replied proudly,”someone is angry … Why is that?” It’s because I touched the most unguarded part of his incomparably strong heart. ” As he spoke, his face seemed to be covered by an invisible shadow.”This is a ‘mortal’, Feng bujue. Take a good look at your own weakness … That is why a human’s soul is beautiful and brilliant. On the other hand … We ‘G.o.dly’ existences are just a bunch of ugly scoundrels, lackeys, opportunists, and destroyers … I hate myself, Feng bujue, but at the same time, I don’t care … Can you understand this contradiction?”

“I can ‘t.” Feng bujue replied coldly.

“Yes …” Vincent said in a disappointed tone.”I know you can’t … But I just hope you can think about it.”

“So what if I did? Would it be closer to your so-called divinity transformation?” Feng bujue said.

“Ha … Who knows?” Vincent avoided the sharp question.”Let’s get back to the topic … You’ve seen it too. I … Know how to seduce you or threaten you … In this regard, I’m no different from Woody.” His tone changed slightly.”But don’t misunderstand. You are not ‘following our will’. I’m not saying this out of consideration for your self-esteem … This is the truth, and you know it yourself. ”

As he spoke, he wagged his finger. Following his movement, a piece of parchment, a Quill, and a bottle of ink flew out of the drawer next to the throne.

“I’ll ask again. What if I give you li Ruoyu?”

“What do you mean by ‘give’?” Feng bujue did not give an answer but asked a further question.

Since it was about the essence of the deal, Vincent had to tell the truth.””As long as you agree, she’ll be yours. From her soul to her body, everything about her …”

“You mean … To control her thoughts?” Feng bujue added.

“Of course not.” Vincent said,”with the strength of her soul, I can’t control or change her self-consciousness.”

“Then what are you going to do?” Brother Jue said.

“It’s very simple …” Vincent said.”Just unseal her.”

Feng bujue’s expression changed.””You can unseal Woody’s seal?”

“Who told you that the ‘seal’ was placed by Woody?” Vincent asked in return.

At that moment, countless images flashed across Feng bujue’s mind.”So it’s you …”

“Yes,” Vincent said,”it’s me.” He paused for a second and continued,”li Ruoyu is also in this ‘bet’, and I am the one who placed the bet.” He had already dipped the quill in the ink and said to the goatskin floating in the air,”I can tell you clearly that as long as I unseal her, she will find that she has fallen in love with you. How about it? This way, you won’t be blackmailed by Woody anymore. Do you want to make a deal?”

“What are the conditions?” Feng bujue asked immediately.

“Hehe … It’s simple.” Vincent said,”a few years later, when your life ends …”

BOOM!

A loud explosion interrupted Vincent.

The door that Feng bujue had closed was destroyed by an explosion from the outside. In the dust, a group of people filed in, and one of them yelled at Feng bujue, who was still suffering from tinnitus,””Don’t move!”

Frequent footsteps and the sound of guns being loaded quickly surrounded Feng bujue.

“Sigh … What a pity.” Vincent sighed.”Perhaps this is G.o.d’s will …”

“Wait a minute,” Feng bujue said.”Even if we can not trade now, in reality …”

“That’s impossible. ” Vincent knew what he was going to say, so he immediately denied it. “Under other circ.u.mstances, I have no right to offer a deal of this level. The only exception is when you’re sitting on this SCP738, and … This is your only chance. The next time you sit on this chair, the demon that appears may not be me. ”

“Hmph …” Feng bujue snorted as well.”Fine … Perhaps this is fate.”

“Don’t talk! Throw your weapons on the ground, stand up, and raise your hands!” The heavily armed security guards were yelling at brother Jue. They could not see or hear Vincent, but they could hear a distorted voice echoing beside the throne.

“I’m sorry, we’ll meet again if fate allows it. ” Vincent disappeared from the throne as he spoke. The parchment, Quill, and ink that were floating in the air also flew back to the long drawer at lightning speed.

“Quickly do as I say! Otherwise, I’ll shoot!” The security personnel gave an ultimatum.

Feng bujue had no choice but to put down his gun, raise his hands, and stand up. He knew that … The people from the SCPs Foundation were not police officers. This group of people really did not mind “executing” their targets. Not to mention Cla.s.s D personnel, they would not even blink when killing their own people.

Three seconds later, the few brawny men swarmed forward and pinned Feng bujue to the ground. They then recuffed his hands.

The security guard who had just shouted picked up his communicator and reported,””Sir, the target is under control. Requesting further instructions …”
