Chapter 0033: Wake up, Miss, it's time to watch some adult content

Consciousness, like a diver slowly rising from the deep sea, gradually breaks free from the darkness and coldness and returns to the body.

Hayasaka Ai's long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

Without the slightest confusion or hesitation, those rigorously trained eyes regained absolute calmness and alertness the moment they opened, rapidly scanning the surrounding environment.

What came into view was not the dark and damp basement as imagined, nor the simple and crude warehouse.

It was a pure white room filled with a sense of futuristic technology, like a scene from a science fiction movie.

She lay on a comfortable medical bed, covered in a soft, disinfectant-scented blanket. The ceiling was a single, softly glowing panel, devoid of any visible lighting. The walls were pure white, seamlessly joined together, a cold, smooth alloy, without even a crack to be found.

The instruments beside the bed were operating silently, and the screen displayed in real time the textbook-like vital signs of her and the person in the other bed - heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation... everything was accurate to two decimal places.

This is a medical monitoring device that can only be found in the most advanced secret laboratories that are not open to the public.

Hayasaka Ai jumped up immediately and started her professional examination immediately.

She quickly examined her body and found no scars or signs of injections, save for the soft, comfortable, unmarked white research uniform she'd exchanged for her school uniform. Her physical condition was better than ever, even the mental fatigue from her earlier confrontation with Lin Qing had vanished.

She then immediately checked on Miss Kaguya in the other bed. She was in the same condition as herself, safe and sound, sleeping even more peacefully than in her own multi-million dollar bed.

Communication equipment was confiscated. All means of contact with the outside world disappeared without a trace.

Finally, she reached the room's only exit—the pure white alloy door that blended seamlessly into the wall. She examined it carefully. There was no handle, no keyhole, and barely even a crack. She knocked with her finger, and a dull, despairing sound echoed.

The conclusion was reached in an instant.

1: The enemy possesses an extremely high level of technology that is far beyond the imagination of the outside world.

2. The enemy has no direct ill will towards them, at least not for the time being.

3: The defense here is extremely strict. With their own strength, the possibility of their escape is zero.

At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya behind her also slowly woke up.

"Hayasaka." Kaguya sat up, her voice still a little hoarse from waking up, but her eyes had returned to their icy calmness.

"Miss, you're awake." Hayasaka Ai immediately turned around, walked to the bedside, and in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, she quickly reported all her observations and judgments to Kaguya.

Kaguya listened quietly, her expression growing increasingly serious. She knew they had stumbled into the clutches of a mysterious organization completely beyond her comprehension.

"hiss--"

Without any warning, the heavy alloy door slid open silently to the side.

Lin Qing walked in from outside the door.

He had changed out of his ordinary school uniform and donned a spotless white research coat that perfectly accentuated his tall figure. He also wore a pair of elegant gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.

His entire demeanor had undergone a drastic change. If he had previously resembled a lawless, violent maniac, now he was more like a top scholar, full of intellect and rationality, absorbed in research.

But no matter which temperament it is, it is equally full of disturbing and unfathomable mystery.

He ignored the two girls' wary and scrutinizing gazes and didn't even say a word.

He simply walked to a wall in the room and casually pressed an inconspicuous, small touch button on the wall.

The next second, the pure white alloy wall suddenly became like melting water, and all the colors and physical senses quickly faded away, turning into a huge high-definition screen with a resolution so high that no pixels could be seen.

Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai's hearts were lifted.

The screen lit up and began playing a series of surveillance videos that seemed to be from different devices.

The first video was in black and white, with the characteristic fisheye distortion of surveillance cameras. The scene was a late-night subway car. They saw a bloated, terrifying monster, obscured by a blurry mosaic, clinging to the back of a high school girl. Then, they saw a familiar figure—Lin Qing. He stood up and casually slapped her. The monster instantly transformed into a sky full of points of light. In the lower right corner of the video, the time was clearly marked and a line of small text read: [JR East internally sealed footage].

The second video, with its violently shaky frame, was clearly filmed on a cell phone. The scene was an abandoned park. They saw a familiar figure—Kasumigaoka Utaha, the talented writer from Feng Zhiqi High School. With a dance-like grace, yet completely defying human mechanics, she fiercely kicked a hideous, human-faced monster, sending it flying. The video's source was marked: [Provided by a civilian eyewitness, source file destroyed].

The third video, the fourth, the fifth...

In a late-night alley, a girl with blonde twintails screamed and waved her arms wildly, tearing a ghostly figure in a red dress into pieces...

In a city's sewers, a giant, indescribable tumor, composed of countless pieces of flesh and eyeballs, was wriggling madly...

On a highway, a car suddenly came to life, transformed into a robot, and began to frantically attack surrounding vehicles...

Every clip was bloody, authentic, and filled with subversive impact. In the corners of each clip, there were watermarks in bright red font, such as "Officially Sealed File" and "S-Level Access Required."

Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai stared blankly at the scenes that kept flashing on the screen, each scene was enough to make any normal person have a mental breakdown.

Their breathing became more and more rapid.

Their faces became paler and paler.

Their proud worldview, based on science and logic, is being ruthlessly stripped and shattered piece by piece by these irrefutable and bloody "truths".

It turns out... myths are not legends, ghost stories are not stories, ghosts... are real.

This world, under the shadow that they don’t know, is so crazy and so dangerous!

Finally, the screen went dark and the room returned to its cold pure white.

Lin Qing pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and the lenses reflected a cold light.

He finally turned around and looked at the two top-notch genius girls who were still in great shock and speechless for a long time.

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but like a heavy hammer, knocking down the final rivet that reshaped their worldview.

"Welcome to my world, Shinomiya-san."

"Now, we can talk about the business of 'the truth about the world'."

Chapter 0034: I help you become the head of the family, and you swear allegiance to me

The screen went dark.

The room returned to its cold and monotonous pure white.

But the world of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai was forever and irreversibly stained with a dark background called "abnormality", full of blood and madness.

They still sat by the bed, motionless, like two exquisite statues whose souls had been ripped out. But their slightly rising and falling chests and rapid, almost chaotic breathing revealed the intense tsunami and storm they were experiencing.

Shock, fear, confusion, and a sense of emptiness that caused deep doubt about everything I knew in the past.

It turns out that the power they are proud of, the wealth they control, and the cold "rules" of the upper class that they follow are so vulnerable in the face of the "real face" of this world.

In the face of these "anomalies" that could easily destroy entire city blocks and even distort reality, what could the Shinomiya Group, with its 200 trillion in assets, do? Could money kill a parasitic beast? Could stocks kill an invisible and intangible vengeful spirit?

The answer is so pale and ridiculous.

Lin Qing didn't rush them, he just waited quietly, waiting for these two top-notch geniuses to use their extraordinary wisdom to digest this "truth" that would drive ordinary people completely crazy, and to understand their current and true "position".

Finally, it was Hayasaka Ai who was the first to barely break free from the huge impact.

As a professional servant, she forced her brain, which had become somewhat stiff due to fear, to start working again and analyze the situation.

This mysterious organization called "SCP Foundation" possesses incomprehensible extraordinary power and terrifying technology far ahead of its time. They can easily subdue herself and the young lady, and can also easily erase their existence.

Now, they were like fish on the chopping block, with no room for resistance or negotiation. Their life and death depended entirely on the whim of this man in front of them, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and elegant, but in fact more unfathomable than any monster.

At this moment, Lin Qing seemed to feel that the time was right, and he finally spoke, stating his true and ultimate purpose.

His first words once again gripped Kaguya's heart, which had just recovered from the "collapse of her worldview."

"Shinomiya Kaguya-san," Lin Qing's tone was calm, but it seemed to carry a magical power that saw through everything, "I understand your situation."

Kaguya's pupils suddenly shrank.

"The succession war within the Shinomiya chaebol was brutal and bloody," Lin Qing stated slowly, as if reading a report unrelated to him. "Your brothers covet the position of patriarch. They see you as a thorn in their side, constantly searching for your weaknesses, ready to devour you completely."

"With the power you currently possess and your cold-blooded father who only cares about profit, your chances of winning this war are less than 10%."

These words were the Shinomiya family's most profound and ugliest secret. They were the nightmare that haunted Kaguya every night, weighing on her heart.

And now, these secrets were all told out by an outsider so casually and word for word.

Kaguya felt like all the blood in her body was about to freeze.

Lin Qing ignored her eyes filled with shock and vigilance. He stood up, walked in front of her, leaned down slightly, looked directly into her ruby-like eyes that were shrinking violently at the moment, and slowly threw out his chips in a tone like a devil's whisper, full of fatal temptation.

"Pledge your loyalty to me, to the SCP Foundation."

"In return..."

The corner of his mouth curled up in an arc that was enough to drive all the ambitious people in the world crazy.

"The Foundation will be your strongest and most powerful backing. I will personally help you defeat all competitors and crush all enemies who dare to stand in your way."

"I will make you the next and only head of the Shinomiya family."

"Become...the...head of the family?"

These four words, like a thunderbolt of creation, struck Kaguya's soul deeply, causing her brain to go completely blank in an instant.

Become the head of the family!

This was the only obsession that had been ingrained in her since she was old enough to understand things! It was the only motivation that kept her struggling to survive and grow stronger in this cold, cage-like family!

But she knew better than anyone how difficult this road would be. Ahead of her stood several ruthless brothers, already established in the business world. Behind her stood a cold-blooded father who viewed his children as mere tools, ready to sacrifice anyone at any moment.

She originally thought that she would have to walk alone and arduously on this road full of thorns and traps for ten, twenty years, or even longer before she could see a glimmer of hope.

And now, this man in front of her, this mysterious man with god-like power, told her that he could give her the throne she had always dreamed of as a gift and deliver it directly to her.

This temptation was so great and so irresistible that she felt like her breathing was about to stop.

Seeing the fiercely flickering fire of ambition in her eyes, Lin Qing knew that the fish had been hooked.

But he needed one last step.

He knew that a top-tier genius like Kaguya Shinomiya, born into a life of political schemes and cunning calculations, wouldn't easily believe any verbal promises. She needed to see a more direct, purer, and more unreasonable proof of her strength.

Lin Qing stood up straight, a knowing smile on his face.

He turned and walked to the wall of the room. A secret compartment silently slid open in the pure white alloy wall. Inside, a special steel plate, half a meter square and five centimeters thick, gleaming with a dark metallic luster, lay quietly.

"This is a special alloy steel plate that we use to test the physical destructive capabilities of some high-strength containment objects." Lin Qing explained casually, and then, with one hand, he pulled out the extremely heavy-looking steel plate from the secret compartment.
