Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

Chapter 116 New EGO Equipment

"Hmm... I feel like I've somehow ended up in a strange place..."

Miss Yuanwei complained in her heart.

But now, Yuanwei was not in a hurry to express the doubts in her heart. She just asked in a rather light tone.

"So, Station Master, have you just returned from the city?"

"That's about right," Bai Yu taped the photo back to the wall. "How did you tell that?"

"You look tired, like those programmers who just came home from three days of night shifts at an internet company..."

"It's a vivid metaphor...but it would be great if all we did in the city was just code."

"It sounds like the city isn't a good place?" Yuan Wei smiled softly. "Then my current situation is much better than yours, my respected jailer?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you have to adapt..."

"I think so, too. When I first joined Alpha-9 and Ms. Adams took me out of the Foundation facility after seven months, and I saw the dazzling skyscrapers of New York, I adapted very quickly..."

"Ha ha..."

Yuan Wei, who was still boasting, clearly heard Bai Yu's chuckle which did not contain any sarcasm.

"Stationmaster, what are you laughing at?" Our Miss Iris's face suddenly puffed up, as if to express her dissatisfaction. "Do you think I can't do it?"

"how come...."

Bai Yu smiled. He walked to the work table, pulled out a chair, and relaxed a little physically and mentally.

Although they were not from the same world, Earth, being able to hear about his fellow villagers' past experiences and the various strange professional terms that were no longer used in the city made him feel a little nostalgic for this ghost place.

He patted another chair next to him.

"Let's chat, even if it's just about your experiences in the United States..."

The work in the containment room is finally getting back on track...

There was nothing unusual, no threat, and there was no need to do anything special. It was just two Earthlings chatting in the city.

The communication work was completed after 30 minutes.

With Miss Yuanwei's wish to apply for improved accommodation conditions again, Bai Yu walked out of SCP-105's containment room.

Half an hour of chatting did cheer him up a bit, so next...

"I still have to go..."

Bai Yu sighed and walked towards another holding room.

Well...if possible, he would like to chat with the guide again...

But now....

Bai Yu shook his head, but finally walked into the entrance of the training department and pulled down the gate that controlled the last security door in the containment room.

But when he saw the scene inside the holding room.

No matter how strong his mental state was, he was still shocked by the scene before him.

Good news, SCP-049's reverse Kabbalah counter is still 3. It seems the staff in the training department didn't forget to provide 049 with a corpse during my absence...

Bad news. As soon as he entered, he saw a zombie with five legs and six arms nailed to the wall. Hanging on it was a cell head that was constantly wriggling but fixed to its head by a black rod...

......

Well... Bai Yu admitted that placing two abnormalities in the same containment room was an extremely dangerous move.

If things go wrong, it might create a terrifying chemical reaction similar to the Yin and Yang in Lobotomy Corporation...

Therefore, this kind of behavior is a serious violation even in the W-0001 branch where the supervisor has no say... However, after the Queen Bee incident, the headquarters approved the proposal submitted by Bai Yu.

Fortunately, the proposal was passed, otherwise Bai Yu's head would have exploded. After all, 049 is self-aware, and the containment facilities of the Brain Corporation are useless... If it really wants to come to the Cell People for experiments, then I guess the branch will be on level 2 alarm every day...

But now, Bai Yu was obviously a little scared.

"Mr. 049, I don't mean any harm by what I'm about to say. I just have a thought. When can you safely return the dead cells to the test tube?"

He walked in. Actually, apart from the bloodstains on the floor under the zombie, the entire containment room was quite clean.

And now, the owner of this room was not disturbed by the sudden unlocking of the containment chamber. Adhering to the professional medical spirit, he was still sitting at his work table, concentrating on writing notes with a quill pen in a leather notebook...

"Doctor..." 049 didn't even have time to look up, "The person who developed this treatment plan is a genius..."

“…”

My words fell on deaf ears...

Bai Yu was helpless, but he could only temporarily give up his thoughts and walk to 049's side to continue listening to it.

"I've also studied medieval alchemy and astrology, but I've never achieved the same results as him..."

049 did not hide his admiration for the 'doctor', and his tone became more and more excited.

After being in Lobotomy for so long, it could only share what it saw with Bai Yu, its 'confidant'.

"The Philosopher's Stone, the Panacea, these legendary items from ancient texts..."

"Separating the body from the soul... a fantastic idea, but he did it. If possible, I really want to meet him..."

After he stopped writing, 049 slowly raised the bird-beak mask.

The eyes beneath the mask were as calm as a deep well. He handed the notebook to Bai Yu again...

"Doctor, take a look. I'll share with you what I've learned..."

“…”

Bai Yu originally wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up the idea and just glanced at the notes in front of him.

As always, the handwriting was incredibly beautiful, but the mysterious language was still incomprehensible.

But when Bai Yu turned to the last few pages...his brows knitted silently...

Because the system prompt has sounded.

Chapter 117 Cursed Blade

This really surprised Bai Yu.

Even though every time he saw the EGO equipment column with the word '? ?' on the Abnormality panel while working, he knew that there was still one level of observation level left to unlock...

But... can this last level be unlocked this way?

He clearly didn't understand a single word of 049's notes!

Bai Yu's mouth twitched, but he perked up and clicked on the panel about EGO equipment in front of him.

After all, his determination to die was shattered at W Company, so now is a good time to see if he can find a new one...

Introduction: You were once a role model for the entire island... and now, you're just a hopeless bastard! —A certain unnamed giant gives you the middle finger.

Should we say that it is worthy of being equipment that can be extracted by the dregs of cells?

Bai Yu didn't know what words to use to describe the two pieces of EGO equipment displayed in front of him.

The EGO values of these two supermodels are a bit outrageous...

A weapon with 100 points of corrosive damage is a unique existence in the Lobotomy Corporation.

As for the King's suit, as it is W-level, its four major resistances are basically all positive, not to mention the special effects that specialize in combat.

But...the negative effects of these equipment are a bit too great.

As someone who had long heard of the reputation of this master weapon, Bai Yu had already anticipated the negative effects of the Cursed Blade...

Now he just looked at the EGO equipment King's suit with extreme suspicion.

"Alright, alright... When the wearer's justice is greater than I, then it's not worth wearing, right?"

"No...it's downgraded to level 1? Can it go all the way down to 0? I'm not going to be reduced to scum along with it, am I?"

Bai Yu just stood there and thought about the pros and cons of these equipments...

However, 049, who was right next to him, didn't know that Bai Yu was looking through the system, and thought he was concentrating on checking its notes.

"Doctor, aren't you excited? After humans have been fighting the plague for so long, we finally see hope of victory..."

"Hmm..." Bai Yu then flipped through a page of notes and closed the system panel in front of him. He smiled and said, "Of course, if we can really break through the final bottleneck and eliminate the plague, it will indeed be a blessing for all mankind..."

It was really useless to think so much. He couldn't even produce the PE-BOX collected by the 115-point system, not to mention that he was the only one who provided energy for the deployment of the MTF team.

Now the system's energy storage is also on the verge of bankruptcy...

I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime for two or three days to get these things.

"But according to our original agreement, we still have to destroy some of the test subjects."

Bai Yu glanced at the cell man hanging on the wall. The cell man would just pick up any corpse and kill them at will. Now with an enhanced version of SCP-049-2 as a carrier, wouldn't its combat power go straight to W level?

"certainly..."

As expected, 049 did not refuse this time.

Destroying an 'SCP-049-2' in front of it was already a common occurrence for it. Moreover, every time it installed this cell head, the first thing it did when it stood up was to fight with 049...
