Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"These anomalies must be suppressed before the Director deems them a complete containment failure."

Bai Yu knew very well that there seemed to be no one else he could rely on in this branch, and he was the only one who could do all this.

Rather than letting the Abnormality continue to act recklessly and end up being buried with everyone, he would rather try this potentially futile struggle.

"Leonce, go and contain 1.74 MHz," Bai Yu took a deep breath and said word by word, "You were able to do it last time, and you can do it this time too."

“…”

The voice of someone wearing equipment came from the communicator, "What about you?"

"I have to go check on G-01-12. I hope the situation isn't as bad as I thought..."

Bai Yu rushed to the dormitory and retrieved the 'Mole' as quickly as possible to avoid being disturbed by the influence of the 1.74 MHz abnormality that was still spreading.

He didn't know if he could still communicate with SCP-049, but as the only person identified by SCP-049 as not infected with the 'plague', his chances were better than others.

"Yulia, can you see G-01-12's movements now?"

He began contacting Control, after all, only there and the Director's office could monitor all corridors.

"P4 corridor," Yulia's tone was not very good at the moment. "Whatever you want to do, if you don't want to die, then you have to hurry. I saw from the surveillance that many corpses have stood up. Those things are probably enemies."

"I know."

After learning the location of SCP-049, Bai Yu hung up the phone.

After briefly planning the fastest route to the P4 corridor in his mind, he turned into a corridor filled with corpses and blood.

There are several dead bodies of worker bees here...

Bai Yu took a careful glance or two as he passed by.

He found that the worker bees seemed to have their heads torn off.

"In this branch where most employees don't even have EGO equipment, how could anyone actually defeat these monsters?"

Bai Yu was a little surprised, but he didn't really care. After all, his primary goal was to persuade SCP-049 to stay....

But a few seconds later, the intense gunfire coming from the clerical office at the end of the corridor forced him to temporarily change his target.

"Run! Run!!"

Several female office workers were desperately trying to escape from the office.

Even their only self-defense weapon, the pistol, was thrown behind them, as if there was a very terrifying existence inside.

But just as they stuck their heads out, the huge force caught up with them and kicked them against the wall.

boom...

With a loud bang, countless bones in their bodies were broken, and they collapsed in the corner like a puddle of mud.

After struggling painfully for a few times, he stopped breathing.

'what's the situation? ! ’

Seeing this scene, Bai Yu pulled out the determination to die from his back.

And right in front of him, the 'attacker' took half a step forward.

It was a pair of suit trousers, stained with blood.

'Crazy employee?'

This was Bai Yu's first reaction. After all, if an employee of Power 2 had access to suitable weapons, it would be easy for him to massacre a few civilians.

But these speculations are actually unnecessary.

Because soon, the 'attacker' walked out of the clerical office very leisurely with his hands in his pockets.

If it had a mouth, it would probably whistle a few words.

But when the guy completely walked out of the civil service office, Bai Yu realized that what was in front of him was just a corpse without even a head.

Well...well, I should say that if that cell head really isn't a head.

Chapter 71 Inevitable

Angela didn't expect it, and neither did Bai Yu.

Just a few minutes ago, in the bloody corridor where the worker bees and the abandoned killers had slaughtered people.

A burning cell head rolled out from the corner of the containment room, and right in front of it was the grand ruins left by the massacre of the worker bees and the abandoned killers.

Most of these corpses are not in good condition, especially the heads. God knows why the abandoned killer likes to smash other people's heads so much...

But this Abnormality doesn't matter.

It waded through the blood in the corridor and came to the body of an employee whose head had been smashed.

After just a moment's thought, it let its head occupy that empty space...

After a few seconds, it stood up...

After slightly twisting the joints of the corpse, it began to wander aimlessly among the corpses.

It felt as if it had forgotten something, but it also felt as if it had never remembered anything....

Along the way, it killed some noisy guys, and finally, in the killing, it remembered a little bit...

'Oh...yes, I need cells.'

'The people here are all jailers, kill them...'

It nodded in approval, and while thinking, it stepped on the trembling head of the civilian lying on the ground in front of it and crushed it.

However, for now, it has other purposes. It recalls the civilian in orange uniform who was constantly smiling while transporting it...

"Hmm... Kill him first..."

For this reason, it came here.

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

It walked out of the clerical office like a street urchin.

Under the orange light of the corridor, the black and red burning cell head looked even more eerie.

In its perception, there shouldn't be any living things here.

But it turned its head to look at the man at the other end of the corridor.

And Bai Yu also saw it.

"..."

Looking at the abnormal entity in front of him, Bai Yu felt as if the air had frozen.

Cell man?

Why is this beast and scumbag here? !

He really couldn't understand!

If a game's protagonist could have an award to rate how 'trash', 'jerk', or 'scumbag' they are, the protagonist from Dead Cells would definitely be on the list...

It was once the king of an island. In pursuit of immortality, it asked an alchemist to make a "panacea" for it. However, the raw material of the panacea, the red crystal, contained a plague.

Later, the kingdom was destroyed by an epidemic...and it became a half-human, half-ghost.

Later, it killed the subjects, the Hand of the Kingdom, the Giant, the Collector, the Queen...

It monopolized the only antidote to the plague - the 'panacea' - and killed its developer.

It gained eternal life as it wished, but lost everything else...

But this scumbag doesn't care... Just like what some people have said about the plot of this game in the past.

'Everyone in this kingdom wants to save it, except the king.'

And now, this guy was right in front of Bai Yu. The alien that slaughtered the entire clerical office was looking at him with interest.

In the golden core wrapped in black and red flames, curiosity, excitement, hostility...this feeling has already emanated.

Bai Yu was holding the weapon tightly in his hand. He was on high alert at all times to prevent this guy from rushing up to fight him.

This is not because he is overthinking, but because...

In the plot, this guy is ridiculously strong, and no one on the entire island can beat him.

And now, even though it has 0 cells, it still has a HE rating...

If it was the same as the beginning of the Great Sword Girl in the game, then he still had a chance to chat with this scumbag.

but.....

Looking at the bodies of the civilians who had collapsed in the corner, their blood not yet completely cooled, Bai Yu gave up the idea.

"I guess in its eyes, I'm just a jailer... A fight is probably inevitable..."

The truth was just as he thought.

The abnormality in front of him pulled his hand out of his pocket and fumbled inside his suit. Some dirty blood dripped down the suit to the ground.

It was not until then that Bai Yu discovered that there was something inside his suit.

Those were three broken limbs of roughly the same length...

This guy seemed to have picked up some materials from the corpses along the way.

Then, they were roughly tied together with some cloth, and just like that, it got a three-section staff made by human hands.

'Should I be thankful that this employee doesn't have an EGO?'

Although Bai Yu was joking in his heart, in reality, he couldn't laugh at all because he saw...

The strange entity in front of him moved. Under its blessing, the corpse burst out with extremely terrifying power. It waved the three-section staff in its hand, and the end of the staff emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Bai Yu, who noticed this, did not show any intention of dodging...

He held the EGO ornament on his right arm in front of him.

Raise your shield! Charge!

"boom!"

The Cthulhu Shield came into close contact with these broken arms, making a crisp sound like metal collision.

Normally, no matter how strong this shield is, the shock wave caused by this huge force should break Bai Yu's arm.

But at this moment, he acted as if nothing had happened, parrying... and then fighting back!
