Five minutes later, the command center

"Sir!" As the agent, he ran to his officer's side and reported, "according to the picture from B1..."

"All right." The chief interrupted him, "I see..." He stares at the big screen in front of him, his eyes fixed in a black area. "He destroyed all the video and audio acquisition devices in the scp-738 shelter, right?"

"Do you want to detonate the conical bomb? Sir. " The agent will take over immediately.

"What's the point?" "Since he knew he was going to destroy all surveillance equipment, he was ready to go," the chief asked. How could he possibly move things to the area where the conical bomb is located for operation? "

"Here..." The agent was speechless.

"This reminds us There is also a need to improve the reception of 738. " The chief said, "it is not enough to install a conical bomb in the middle of the room. We do not consider the situation that" when the facility encounters a major crisis, the room without the security guard is invaded " Obviously, an intruder can't have an explosive collar... " He paused. "Hum In a word, today's behavior of the d-level personnel has sounded an alarm to us on many levels. In the future, we should add a set of measures that can be used for the final protection of all SCPs in case of a total out of control crisis at their base. "

"Well What should we do now? Sir. " The agent then asked again.

"Isn't it on the way to catch him..." The officer said, "I can only hope Before they get there, the d-level hasn't completed some kind of 'deal' that threatens us. "

"It shouldn't be a problem, sir." The agent replied, "generally speaking. D-level people will choose the most transaction is "get freedom" and so on. "

"Ah..." The chief smiled, and he adjusted his suit. "Steven, what do you think is the IQ of this d-level person?"

The original agent's name was Steven.

"Er I have just retrieved his information, sir. " Steven said, took out a form from his pocket, looked down and read, "this d-level personnel code is 00250. Rudy Austin, 25, dropped out of high school. His criminal record was almost uninterrupted until he was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder last year After testing, his IQ is 83, with a slight tendency to violence. "

83 The officer looked back at Steven and reached for the form. "Huh..." He snorted, "it's not right."

"What's the matter? Sir. " Steven asked.

"Do you think a person with an IQ below average (even by American standards) would want to use scp-294 against scp-173?" "Before that..." the officer replied He looked at the form again. "Where did he hear about the features of scp-294?"

"Here..." Steven's face is becoming more and more ugly. "Is he..."

"Yes..." "I suspect that he was the one who was planted by the cactus He shoved the form back into Steven's hand. "If that were the case, the information would be meaningless..."

Steven thought more and more, and thought that the chief said it was reasonable: "yes The average d-level personnel even the SCP they are operating and this person The first use of scp-294 resulted in a project, "which shows that he not only understands the characteristics of scp-294 And it's testing the bottom line. "

"In a word The capture / removal of this person must be carried out as soon as possible, and the potential threat of his activities in the base is too great. " The chief added, "we need to control or kill more keter level projects before they contact with them, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable..."

At the same time, scp-738 was taken into custody.

Due to the current situation of the base, the security personnel who were originally responsible for guarding here have long disappeared. They either took refuge in an underground emergency shelter or died somewhere else Anyway, brother Jue didn't get any block along the way.

The door of the shelter is opened by the operation desk of its external laboratory, without any pass card.

After arriving at the experimental area, Feng accidentally carefully damaged all the monitoring probes and radio equipment in the room and laboratory, and then began to carry the three piece furniture. He is very clear. When moving tables and chairs, just be careful to avoid the conical bomb in the middle of the room.

To make a long story short, after a busy time, brother Jue finally sat on the scp-738-2, that is, the high back chair. In front of him is the table labeled scp-738-1, and the "throne" scp-738-3 is behind him.

"Ha ha I didn't expect that we would meet in this way. "

Not for a moment, a gentle, mysterious voice started behind my brother.

Feng unconsciously turned around and saw a man with black hair.

That's a man of outstanding temperament. He can show his youthful vigor at the age of 20, and his mature wit at the age of 40. But he actually looks like how old, which no one can say

Secondly, this is also a very attractive man, although objectively speaking, he is not a beautiful man

"Listen to this tone Do you know me? " Feng replied quietly.

"Yes, you are a famous person..." The man replied with a smile I can't sleep. "

"So it is..." Brother Jue smiled.

"Yes, that's it." The other side replied.

"Return" is another way.

"Vincent." Vincent returned quietly.

"Oh?" I can't feel the slight change in my eyes. He immediately looked up and down at each other again, "ha ha I've heard so much about you. I've heard from you for a long time... "

These two "I've heard so much". Without any irony or hypocrisy, Chueh GE has really heard of his fame.

"Ah Did woody tell you a lot about me? " Vincent rested his right elbow on the armrest of the throne. With one hand holding his cheek, he looked down at brother Jue in a cool posture.

"If you're Vincent, there's no need to ask that." Feng can't feel that he points his temple with his hand. "Can't you just go inside and find the answer?"

"My dear friend..." Vincent had a charming smile. "You know, a lot of times, the answer is not the most important thing." He paused for half a second. Then he said, "no matter the limit of wisdom of ordinary people or the most intelligent person of deification After all, they stop at the "answer" level. But what's the point? The former is asked when one plus one equals. The answer "two" comes out in a flash; the latter knows the question and the final answer is "two" before someone asks how much is one plus one. "

At this point, he was not aware of it, and waited for a moment: "ha ha But you, me Why do you want two like this? "

"You are no different." Feng didn't realize he was saying it. He grabbed the chair and turned around, becoming a face-to-face sitting state. "You said a lot of specious nonsense, not only didn't give me the" answer. ". Even my "question" has been denied. "

"Hahaha..." Vincent shook his head a little and smiled a few heartily. "Your reaction is very 'smart'," he said The first thing you said to me was a test. When I call you by your real name, the temptation will come to an end, and you will enter another state Let me call it "the state of unseen seriousness". In this state. Your thinking speed, way, etc. have been significantly improved, as if you have reached the "super dimensional perspective."

He pursed his lower lip, and his eyes became more complicated: "look at yourself from your own perspective, look at yourself from the perspective of an onlooker, and look at the onlooker from a cosmic personality To solve all the problems in time, space, subjective consciousness and objective reality... "

When he spoke, his expression changed, and his face was full of rare and real solemnity.

"There are only a few people in the world who can reach this level..." Vincent smiled and said, "you are worthy of being selected by woody. Ha ha It seems that his deal with "that man" is not a loss... "

"Who did he deal with? What deal? What does it have to do with me? " I asked three questions in a row.

"Don't worry..." Vincent raised his left hand. I waved my fingers. "Something, when it's time Of course you will, I promise. "

"Can you respond to my question with something other than rubbish?" I can't feel the cold.

"Yes." Vincent answered two very short words and then stopped talking.

"Hello..." Jue brother was silent for two seconds, then he Tucao, "you should not tell me, can this" be able to make complaints about once?

"That's right." Vincent smiled. "That's right."

-

next second. The gun went off.

"Why do you have to?" Vincent looked down at the bullet hole in his heart. Although the bullet went in, there was no blood flow out. "I thought you and I had a similar sense of humor?"

"Yeah, I'm playing with that sense of humor." Feng didn't realize he said, but he took up his assault rifle and aimed it at Vincent's crotch.

"All right Let's talk. " Vincent turned sideways and cocked up his legs. "Don't do these superfluous things."

"Then I won't beat around the bush with you." I don't know. At present, the devil's wisdom and woody belong to the same level. It can be very profound for smart people to talk to each other. It can also be very direct, "you should be conscious and tell me everything you can tell me."

"Don't be like this ~" at this moment, Vincent's tone suddenly changed. It can't be said that he is malicious and cute, but it does mean something, "you are on scp-738 now The devils, as the name suggests We are going to make a deal. " He leaned against the back of the throne and spread out his hands. "If you don't pay the corresponding price, you won't get any substantial return. This There's nothing I can do. "

"Is it..." "Then next," said Feng. Are we going to stage a "devil seduces mortals" drama? "

"If you don't mind, I'll start." Vincent turned his head slightly and looked at Chua with a sincere look.

"OK, you come." Sealed up
