Zhang Jue was walking in the corridor of the B6 floor. The location where the kind SCP-106 had sent him out was not far from the containnt room where Yang Xue was hiding, and after so consideration, he decided to et up with Yang Xue first.
The green light on the walkie-talkie in his waist began to flash frequently again. Zhang Jue turned on the walkie-talkie.
"This is Zhang Jue." Zhang Jue was the first to speak, as he and Site Director Wenbai had agreed.
Site Director Wenbai's voice ca through, "Advisor Zhang, briefly report your current situation." At tis like this, Site Director Wenbai was no longer the kind-eyed old man; his voice was calm and steady, giving people a sense of reliability.
Zhang Jue said, "We're on the B6 floor. We've just been attacked by SCP-106, but I've gotten rid of it for now, and I am on my way to et up with Dr. Yang Xue."
Site Director Wenbai's voice paused, "Advisor Zhang, I now have a crucial ssage for you. Given that Yang Xue is not with you, you must first prove your identity." Proving that he was himself, this was the first ti Zhang Jue had encountered such a thing.
The matter was so important that Zhang Jue did not pretend and said directly, "Old man Wenbai, when will you give the villa you promised ! Be careful what you said, or I'll smash your eyeglasses!" This was the conversation that occurred between Zhang Jue and Site Director Wenbai when they t in the toilet.
After Zhang Jue finished speaking, Site Director Wenbai's awkward voice ca, "Okay, that proves it, you are indeed Advisor Zhang. Wait a mont, and I'll find a quieter place."
At a ti like this, what quiet place to find? Zhang Jue felt a little strange but did not question it, and Site Director Wenbai must have his reasons for doing so.
Two minutes had passed.
A voice finally ca over the intercom, but it wasn't Site Director Wenbai.
"Hello, Advisor Zhang."
I could hear a very young male with a slightly hoarse voice on the other side. He said, "This is O5-6."
An O5 Council mber? Zhang Jue faintly stared. Most of the Site-14's containnt room has been breached, and although the situation was serious, an O5 mber calling him in person was sothing he hadn't expected.
Even in his world, the O5s are extrely mysterious individuals. Their identities are mysterious, their genders are unknown, and even legends say that a few of them are not even human. No wonder Site Director Wenbai had to find a secluded place. Zhang Jue thought about this, but what happened next once again took him by surprise.
Voice can be heard from the walkie-talkie. "Site Director Wenbai, please go outside the door and keep an eye out, and co back in after ten minutes. I have sothing to say to Advisor Zhang alone."
Over the intercom ca Site Director Wenbai's firm voice: "Yes sir!" Then ca the sound of the iron door opening and closing.
"Advisor Zhang, now there's only the two of us," O5-6 said.
"It seems so." Zhang Jue laughed, "If I'm right, you should be talking to now through a private line and then through an intercom, so if Site Director Wenbai didn't go out just now and just made the sound of the door opening to fool us, then none of us would know for sure."
"It does not matter, the next part of what I said contains a hidden cognitohazards, any person who has not injected that type of anti-cognitohazard agents, saw or heard the relevant information, will suffer from irreversible Alzheir's disease in the next 2 hours," O5-6 said this. It was clear that he had already thought about this. The O5 Councils are a bunch of monsters, talking and doing things without missing a beat.
"Wow, that sounds like a lot." Zhang Jue shrugged out of habit, "I don't rember being injected any anti-cognitohazard agents, so wouldn't I get Alzheir's after listening to you?"
O5-6 said, "You're immune to the SCP-053's cognitohazard. I'm sure this is nothing compared to that cognitohazard - even if you do get affected, you still have two hours to spare."
"Okay." Zhang Jue said, "I see your point, so can you tell what's really fishy about SCP-2950."
"You're brilliant, Advisor Zhang, and it's not in vain that I voted 'yes' on the selection of your position." It turned out that the O5 Council had initiated a vote on his joining the Foundation.
Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows, and this was the first ti he knew about it. The Foundation had many anomalous technologies, and they must have carefully studied Zhang Jue's value before dragging him into the Foundation. With the hope that they will be able to know why sothing was happening in their world. But this was all an afterthought. If his mission failed and the nuclear warheads inside Site-14 were detonated, everyone would have been marching to heaven together.
Zhang Jue said, "I know I'm excellent. Ti is short, so you'd better hurry up and say what need you to say."
O5-6 humd and said in a deep voice, "As you should have guessed, SCP-2950 is not a particularly comfortable chair, but the information has consistently shown it that way, and the Foundation staff-even the other O5s-have assud that to be the case, which is exactly what we wanted. "
"There is more danger that lurks beneath SCP-2950 than what it seems, and there's a reason why: certain infohazards anomalies are more dangerous than their counterparts, and so of them are even more dangerous to the point only a few people can know about them."
"SCP-2950 is supposed to be a Keter-level entity, yet it cannot be defined as such, and precisely because we have to define ourselves. It can morph itself by whatever most people think SCP-2950 is. That's what it becos. "
"You're not stupid, and you should understand what it ans. Was it just a chair? It does to most people, and we made sure that docunt was passed around among the SCP staff only so people would think that thing was just a chair. "
"For an SCP, such a chair could not be more ordinary, no psychic hallucinations, no crazy hostility, no any other special effects. We want people to be as uninterested in this chair as possible and nd if you find soone who wants to run a test on it, stop them."
"You're probably thinking, 'Why don't we just forget about it? Don't you and I just lie to ourselves and say it's a chair, and when it's not really a chair?' I wish it were that simple. Unfortunately, soone other than us knew what it was; this person even wrote a book about it."
"The first book we found described SCP-2950 as a monster capable of causing an XK End-Of-The World Scenario Event. We took it at face value, set up containnt for the anomaly, and prevent anyone from knowing about it."
"Later, the Serpent's Hand people told us the truth about the anomaly, but it was too late."
"After taking the necessary steps to erase most people's mory about SCP-2950, we reached a point of agreent with the Serpent's Hand: both one of them, and we must each retain that knowledge to prevent a similar incident from happening again."
"Neither the Serpent's Hand nor we know where those books ca from; according to them, they appeared out of nowhere in their library one day, and the resources we once used to find them have disappeared, and no one knows where it ca from."
"Now, soone else is trying to retrieve SCP-2950, and I don't know if the information was leaked from the Serpent's Hand side or if the culprit who wrote that book is back to cause so trouble."
"No matter who the enemy is, no matter what their purpose is, Advisor Zhang, for the sake of the safety of this world, I hope you can stop them!"
