Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

So, he still has work to do.

Lyons watched him walk back to the control console little by little, until finally he couldn't help but speak to this senior.

"Brother Bai," Lyons changed his address to him from behind, "Your mental state hasn't been very good since G-01-02 (the guide) arrived. You should take some time to get a psychological checkup."

"I'm fine..." Bai Yu didn't look back.

"Senior Liu said the same thing, but he was found dead in the emergency staircase the next day..." Lyons said with an extremely sincere look, "I owe you a lot. Please don't die, Senior."

"I see," Bai Yu felt a little touched, thinking that this junior still had some conscience.

"Really, really don't die!" Lyons was still shouting hard behind him.

"I can't die," Bai Yu frowned slightly.

"Senior! Please don't be upset! I don't want to be here to collect your body." After hearing this shout, everyone in the training department looked over.

"Fuck you, I said it's okay, it's okay!"

Bai Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned around suddenly, and smashed the scabbard and the sword in his hand on the guy's forehead without any hesitation.

"You curse me to death every day, right?!"

Without holding back, he struck the guy's forehead again and again with a desperate determination, until the last fierce thrust sent the entire tip of the knife into his mouth.

"Tell me! How much money did you bet on me this time?"

"Senior, what are you talking about? I can't hear you."

The scabbard stuck in Lyons' throat, making his words unclear.

But Bai Yu was not worried. Although he couldn't tell from the outside, Lyons was a guy with a strength of 3, and this kind of strength couldn't kill him.

"You won't tell me, right?" Bai Yu left the scabbard in his mouth, but the blade was pulled out.

At this moment, the shiny black blade of the Death Heart was hanging 2cm above Leons' right eye.

Bai Yu sneered, "One eye should be enough."

And now, Leons finally got scared and spoke attentively.

"Brother Bai! Brother Bai! 100 days! I bet you death! 20 yuan!"

"Damn it... a dog will never change its bad habits."

Pulling the scabbard out of his mouth, Bai Yu looked around and spat on the ground in dissatisfaction.

Betting on death is a unique entertainment activity for employees of this branch of the Brain Lobe Company.

As the name suggests, this gamble is about which employees will die within a certain number of days.

In simpler terms, it means...

'Old man, it's time to get some gold coins!'

The longer an employee lives, the higher the price of death (of course, it must be a natural death).

And now Bai Yu, the oldest in the branch, is the grand prize of this project.

.....80 days, 90 days, and now 100 days.

Lyons has been betting on himself almost every day since he came here.

He has been showing off in front of me every day recently.

God is blind, why doesn’t this gambler get gold coins by himself?

"Ahaha, Brother Bai, you'll feel better after beating me up," Lyons rubbed his chin slightly, smiled and climbed up.

After hearing this, Bai Yu finally understood what this guy meant.

"You guy..." To be honest, Bai Yu was a little touched at the moment, but he reacted the next second, "You don't want me to die, but you still bet on my death?"

"Well, this is my family motto. You can't lose in business..." Lyons said with a smile, "Senior, if you die, I will get the money. If you don't die, I will be happy too. No matter what, I will win."

"......"

"Well, it looks like I'm not very welcome here," Lyons adjusted his suit slightly, and other people in the training department cast ominous glances at him.

He walked past Bai Yu quickly, but still spoke in his ear.

"Senior, please don't really die. Compared to money, I don't like owing people favors."

-----------------

It's twelve o'clock at night.

"I spent the ninety-ninth day peacefully..."

Bai Yu sat in front of the computer desk in the dormitory, shaking a can of beer that no longer needed to be opened.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the one-sided beating of Leons during the day did allow him to vent a lot of negative emotions.

"Not everyone in Lobotomy is crazy..."

Bai Yu twisted his neck slightly and turned on the computer again.

He needs to continue to improve his masterpiece - "Manual for Dealing with Abnormalities".

Speaking of which, he hasn't typed since the guide and SCP-049 came. After all, he didn't know whether he should include the precautions for these anomalies.

But now, he decided to add it.

Even if I die, it would be great if I could pass this book on to other employees and younger generations.

But the moment his computer screen lit up, he knew something was wrong.

His desktop moved...

A file he had never seen before appeared in the lower left corner.

"What is this..."

Bai Yu frowned and tried clicking a few times with the mouse.

The next second, the computer screen went black, with only a progress bar displayed on it.

"Holy crap, man, you dare to hack into Lobotomy's intranet?!"

Bai Yu was simply amazed. In the city, there were not many companies that could achieve this level.

Company K? Company W? Company T?

There is no need for these companies to go to this extent. Stealing the "singularity technology" of wings from other worlds is a city taboo!

But soon as the progress bar accumulated, he realized something was wrong...

When the black screen lit up again, the computer entered a strange page, but what came into view was definitely not a Trojan virus.

Bai Yu sat up slightly.

This is an instruction.

[To the webmaster of Site-CN-36.

Item #: SCP-049, should have been transferred to your department.

NOTE: Per Containment Committee Order 049.S19.17.1, SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact directly with any Foundation personnel, nor will any additional cadavers be provided for surgery. This order will remain indefinitely until a consensus regarding the continued containment of SCP-049 can be reached.

.........Data omitted.......

In addition, MTF Epsilon-11 and Zeta-9 will assist you in continuing your research and containment of SCP-049 and local spatial anomalies....

Finally, good luck...

-----Dr. Raymond Hamm, Site-85]

Chapter 21 False Hope

'.....'

Bai Yu looked at the screen in front of him and stroked his chin seriously.

'Um....'

Bai Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

'Hmm... am I drunk?'

Bai Yu turned his head abruptly, looking at the unopened bottle of beer on the table with ninety percent suspicion.

"It must be a dream! Fragmented sleep, fragmented sleep!"

Bai Yu turned around and looked at the computer, thought for a few seconds, and finally chose to give up thinking.

He quickly buried his whole body in the quilt, but after a few seconds, Bai Yu stuck his head out again.

'Unchanged? Still unchanged?'

"Wait, do I really need to get a psychiatric exam?"

The eyes of this popularly nominated 'Abnormality Expert' were now filled with questions.

Until now, he still couldn't accept the reality, and all his actions just now were similar to his first day at the Brain Lobe Corporation.

But no wonder.

The scene happening before his eyes was still too weird.

He recognized it immediately; it was an order from the SCP Foundation.

But that's impossible. We're in a city, where does the SCP Foundation come from?

Time travel is already a big deal, and now information can also travel through him?

What's more... the SCP world shouldn't even exist! It's a collaborative online novel, a world created by countless Foundation fans!

But...this thing is right in front of me now...

Bai Yu gradually faced the reality and came to the computer again.

'It seems that this is an order sent from Site-85 (the anomaly containment site of the SCP Foundation) to Site-CN-36.'

Sliding the mouse wheel, Bai Yu kept looking through and pondering this instruction.

'It also mentioned that SCP-049 was transferred to a site called Site-CN-36...'

But it's still weird...

SCP-049 did not reach that location on Earth, but instead appeared in the Abnormality Containment Box sent by Lobotomy Corporation Headquarters to W-0001 Branch...

This message, which was supposed to be sent to the site administrator of Site-CN-36, did not reach the intended computer. Instead, it crossed the world and landed on Bai Yu's computer...

What's going on? !

Bai Yu really couldn't figure out the current situation.

"Could it be related to the local spatial anomaly..."

Bai Yu turned his gaze to the latter part of the instruction. It seemed that there were still anomalies being studied in the Site-CN-36 area.

MTF (SCP Mobile Task Force), they are the elite of the elite among the Foundation's armed personnel, and will be transferred between facilities or locations when needed.

Epsilon-11 (Nine-Tailed Fox), Zeta-9 (Mole Rat).

The Nine-Tailed Fox Squad is, of course, the security personnel responsible for the containment, and they were probably also responsible for escorting 049...

And the moles... they are a special force with a 100% disappearance rate and a 99.8% mortality rate. They are responsible for investigating, exploring, and containing abnormal phenomena that occur underground or in closed areas, especially those with abnormal terrain or unstable space-time properties.

Since they are here, it means that the local spatial anomalies are already being studied...

"Wait, there's a spatial anomaly! So, since 049 can come here..."

Bai Yu suddenly thought of something and swallowed nervously.

"Could you please reply to my email..."

It was a struggle.

A time traveler's struggle in the city.

Even if I can't go back to the ordinary Earth, it would be nice to go back to the SCP world!

Although the SCP world is not safe, there is always someone to support it if the sky collapses there. The Foundation will not allow anomalies to appear in front of ordinary people. Therefore, as long as you are not too unlucky, you can live there as if it were a normal Earth...

He began searching for the page on his computer, but soon realized it was a futile effort.
