"..." Ye Mengjiad could see that they didn't really understand what she meant.She doesn't like trouble, and she doesn't like to explain things to others that are simple and understandable to her.

She thought for a while, and then said: "Look at the poses of these 'people'." She held a kerosene lamp in one hand, and leaned against the wall with her back, posing in the same pose as the pattern, "This, What does it make you think of?"

other people:"???"

Yemengard: "..."

She wanted to sigh a little.Why didn't I think those researchers and doctors in the SCP Foundation were so lovable?

She reminded: "Does it look like the face of a desperate person who is being chased and killed when he faces his target?"

"..." It seems a little bit.I didn't make it clear before, I just thought it was a bit strange, but now that I say it like this...it seems really a bit...

"Then, how could this be?" Someone asked tremblingly.

"...Moreover, judging by its color, the formation of this thing was made by the guy who hunted them. Hmm... it should have been too hard to leave only this trace." Ye Mengjia calmly Analyzing, "Originally, it should just leave the corpse."

It seems that those guys don't have much hunting experience.she thought.

……

"I, I said... we should go out quickly, right?" Jennifer said tremblingly, "I don't know yet, is that guy here!"

Ye Mengjia glanced in a certain direction calmly, nodded: "Yes, this place is very dangerous, let's leave early and go to a safe place."

Several other people finally came to their senses and agreed with each other: "Indeed."

"This place makes me feel creepy."

"move……"

But will the guy hiding in the dark just let them go?Obviously impossible.

Ye Mengjia didn't understand human beings, but she knew what the instinct of a creature looked like, so she said the words of agreement to draw the other party out.

Seeing them walking towards the entrance of the tunnel together, even if the monster couldn't understand the human language, he knew they were leaving. Now——

"Ahhhh-!!"

A mass of white light shrouded in water vapor appeared out of thin air, and the temperature in the tunnel immediately began to rise sharply.

Under such high temperature, the protein in the human body will quickly denature and solidify...

Are you going to die?The thought flitted vaguely through their minds.

Suddenly—disappeared.

The blinding white light disappeared, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

It's as if... nothing happened just now.

But how is this possible?

……

"Why did you come back so late?" The Beckwiths looked at their second daughter and youngest son, slightly dissatisfied.

The ghost ran away halfway last night, but tonight Ye Mengjia has gone out and hasn't come back. She is an adult (snake?), and they can't let her stay around all the time, even though the other party promised that they won't be here tonight. Something will happen, but... If the children have an accident somewhere else, it won't even be possible to cry.

"Haha, I went out for a walk with a few people in the town, and when I came back, someone fell, so I was delayed halfway." Jeremy smirked.

Jennifer also nodded earnestly beside her younger brother.

"Okay, let's go wash up and have a rest," said the mother.

After running around for a day, she was also a little tired. Since nothing major happened, she didn't want to meddle in her own business.

"OK." Her son and daughter gestured to her.

About half an hour later, Yemengade also came over.There were some mud spots on her clothes, but otherwise she had been nowhere to be seen - no one here possessed the full repertoire of Sherlock Holmes.She greeted the two adults and went to the room they had booked for her.

After entering the hotel room with poor facilities, Yemengarde took off his coat, took out a few things from his pocket and stuffed them into his backpack: "Fortunately, I remembered to bring these things with me."

If you let other people in this era look at it, you will definitely not recognize what the hell it is.Only people from the SCP Foundation can recognize what it is.

——That is a device specially used for amnestic elimination.

……

Several young people fell to the ground.Although the temperature has dropped, the terrible scorching feeling has not disappeared at all.Involuntarily redrawing the feelings a few seconds ago in their minds, they completely forgot what is most necessary to do now.

I don't know if it was a few seconds or a few hours, they finally regained consciousness and stood up.

The torches and lamps have lost their lighting effects, but fortunately the sun has not completely set.By the light coming through the hole, they saw Jormungandr squatting beside a humanoid... "creature?"

They are a little curious, but at the same time inevitably have the emotion of "fear".

Do you want to go there?This is the common thought of several people.

But... since that person stopped the monster, there shouldn't be any problem for them to pass now, right?

With this in mind, they slowly approached.

Although Yemengard heard the movement when they got up, he didn't choose to make a sound to stop them from approaching.

This kind of creature... Well, she has only seen Familiars who are a little bit similar to it, but this does not prevent her from knocking him down in one fell swoop.

The creature is covered in gray and white hair, including its face.

It is roughly the size of a normal human, except for slightly longer arms.Yemengard observed the structure of its hip bones and leg bones, and thought that this guy should walk upright most of the time, and only when eating or resting would it become a common action of beasts.

And the way it breathes... It seems that it is very accustomed to chest breathing instead of the common abdominal breathing in animals.

But... Thinking about the ability it used just now, Ye Mengjiad knew that the advantage of abdominal breathing was not so obvious to it.

It has a pair of ears shaped like a rabbit.It seems that the rumor is really a little credible.

"This... this guy is just..." Someone trembled behind him.

Yemengard didn't respond, just stood up with his back to them.

She had just roughly figured out how to use that special ability, so she lost interest in this creature and began to think about another question.

The creature certainly didn't come out of nowhere.Although various environmental pollution problems have occurred in this era, the impact is not so great that such a completely mutated new creature will be born.

She was sure that there were no other living creatures that could move freely except for the human and non-human beings present.So, where did its counterparts go?

She thought about it carefully.It seems that after that incident, nothing unbelievable and strange happened here again.In other words, their (their) steady source of food is not humans... Shouldn't it be...

Yemengard walked to the side of the tunnel, lowered his head and patrolled the shuttle.After a while, she walked to the other side, also bowing her head.This time, not long after, she suddenly kicked up.

With this movement, something rolled out from over there.

Several young people have been scared out of their wits now, and have become a little startled.They looked over tremblingly, and then——

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

really.Yemengard sighed.These people... are really fragile.

When she thought this way, she never thought that she was also one of the culprits at some level.

……

This creature - I don't know how its group reproduced, anyway, there is only one left now.

After that incident, they couldn't find a chance to attack humans again, and could only survive by preying on the small animals around them.But other beasts are—arguably—more difficult to prey on than humans.Fortunately—according to Jormungandr's observations, they should have the habit of hibernating for more than six months every year, which allows them to reduce physical exertion.

However, they are actually purely carnivorous creatures-this is the conclusion that Jormungandr has concluded from the structure of its teeth-if there are not enough animals to catch, then what to do?

I think, needless to say, you already know the answer, right?

Therefore, those who were kicked out by her were actually the bones of that guy's kind.

Hehe... Yemengade didn't have any idea about it.But looking at the shape of those bones, probably all laymen would think that they are human bones, right?

Really... But, at this time, these people couldn't think of this doubt, right?

So the next question is, what to do with these people?

Hmm... Let's do it that way, one thing more is worse than one thing less.She patted her pockets.

……

This world looks normal—of course, it just “looks”—otherwise, how can you explain that Yermungandr has encountered two things that cannot be explained by (human) science within two days?

Ye Mengjiad didn't think about the question of "how did it happen"—after all, it wasn't a problem for her.

As the old ruler, she already knew the correct answers to questions like "how was the universe born" and "the origin of life".

But... well, to be honest, this kind of thing happened in all the worlds she had been to, but not so often.

This kind of situation will appear. On the one hand, there is an inevitable possibility of coincidence, but it also shows that there is no strong organization to restrain it.No, it's not that they don't exist at all, it's just that...their abilities are still somewhat insignificant, and they are not enough to hide from the public's eyes and ears.

However, it is also right to think about it.How many characters like SCP Foundation's 05-1 can there be?

As the Old Ones, it's normal to be able to establish such an organization (although they basically don't have such an idea), but when placed on human beings—small human beings, human beings full of shortcomings—it can be called "" great".

Thinking of this, Yemengard had to close his eyes.

We are almost at our destination.
