[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

After coming out of the library last night, Yemengard did not forget to go to the store to buy some necessities.

The SCP Foundation is an organization whose strength is indescribably powerful, and its financial resources are obviously top-notch.Being able to attract so many top talents is not only because of those strange and attractive SCPs, but also the high-level treatment it provides.

Let's just talk about vacations... The staff of the foundation can apply for a long vacation every year, and... all of them are paid!

No no, the Foundation is not as vicious as you think, of course there are vacations there, and SCP-336 was originally found by an employee who was on vacation.

To give this example, I just want to prove that...the hardware and software provided by the foundation are all top-notch on earth.And the era that Jormungandr worked for was about 100 years earlier than here, and the standard of living can be described as very different.

Just like programmers who are accustomed to programming in C language can hardly complete the career of a leading actor in an era when there are only 1 and 0, people who are used to high-quality creations will encounter various problems once they return to before liberation. Trouble, this is human nature.

Fortunately, Ye Mengjia is not a human being, and there is no such thing as "it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality", so just make do with it.

……

Sitting in the restaurant eating an unappetizing breakfast, Yemengarde thought about what he should do today.

Hmm... First of all, go buy some food that is easy to carry, at least enough to last for two days.For water, she brought a container and prepared it in advance.These days (the two industrial revolutions are over), untreated water isn't exactly clean—after all, no one wants to get sick.

Then... Go to the murder locations reported in the newspaper, but the specific route... Ye Mengjiade slowly ate the dry bread, thinking that she needs to plan in advance.

……

It has been two days since I came to Derry Town. During this time, Wednesday has no plans to do anything at all, which can be said to be quite different from his previous actions.

Shadow is not a talkative person. He wandered around Derry Town these days—of course, only in crowded places. He has no interest in the secrets here, and everything is just following the orders of his employer.

But even the places that are the face of the town always seem to have an air of displeasure.he thinks.

The Civil War has ended decades ago, and the lives of people have changed from generation to generation, but discrimination against blacks has not improved at all here.

Discrimination is pervasive in this town.Fortunately, World War II has not yet been fought at this time, otherwise the situation may be more serious.

……

Richard Tozier was a famous architect.

His talent was revealed very early - when he was a teenager, he wanted to build a dam on the wasteland beyond Derry Town, so that he could severely avenge those little bastards who bullied them - of course, Due to material constraints, this plan was ultimately unsuccessful.

But few people know that Richard is also very good at imitating other people's voices.He...well, often uses this trick to amuse his friends and family.

This technique is very useful, both in life and... when encountering "it".To be honest, this trick really saved the lives of several of them.

Unbelievable, right?Looking back much later, Richard himself did not understand how he did it.At that time, when the monster was about to catch them, his mind went blank, and he didn't wake up until they ran back to the street together.

Among the seven, he may be the calmest one. When William was almost pulled into the world in the photo (he really put his hand in), if he hadn't reacted in time, others might have...

He is a little far away from Maine now, and it will probably take a few days to get back there.With every mile he got closer, he felt more and more oppressed.

Did he wish to see them, or did he not?

……

Stanley Uris was fond of birds, really.He didn't know how many times he had read his illustrated book of birds over and over again.The love of birds has become an inseparable part of his life.

Did you know that to him, the bird illustration is like the Bible to Christians (he is a Jew—although he doesn’t look like one), not only can’t be profaned, but also has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

He had repelled "it" once by reciting the names of birds, but then he was still a child.

He now, thought Stanley, has less conviction than he did 27 years ago.However, that kind of thing happened again.So, he wants to go back, must go back, and be with his partners.

……

Beverly Marsh has always lived in her father's shadow.She never dared to disobey him, no matter how rough he was with his daughter.

Obviously, she should try her best to escape from someone like him, but in the end, Beverly found a husband with exactly the same personality as him.

why?It can only be said that the influence of childhood on a person is really great.

Her husband also has a strong desire to control the people around him because of the residual influence of his childhood, and Beverly bears the brunt of it.Perhaps, Beverly's father also became like that for a similar reason?Who knows?

For the same reason, after Beverly got a call from Mike, her husband would do anything to stop her from leaving—with the kind of...well, we all know, domestic violence.

But Beverly had sworn that if "it" came back, they would all go back and stop it again.

So she contradicted him for the first time after getting married, and left with her luggage in a state of embarrassment.

She would never break her vow, never.While sitting on the train, this beautiful woman thought.

……

In the town of Derry, Yermungandr can always smell a bad smell.

When she was still in the SCP Foundation, she was a resident staff member of Area-14, and it was a well-known breeding place within the Foundation that gathered many large creatures.

Large organisms—especially SCPs—can't escape the food category of raw meat, and sometimes live D-class personnel.

She has also done the task of recording the specific circumstances of the food intake of these SCPs on the spot. During that time, she has long been used to the smell of blood from different creatures.

However, it is conceivable that there are still some scavengers in Area-14, and at this time it is necessary to throw... Yes, you are right, corpses, go in.Most of them are dead animals, and some are D-class personnel who were starved to death or killed by SCPs thrown in when studying their living habits.

In short... Whether it is the smell of corpses or blood, Yermungandr is probably much more familiar than other people in this town.After all, war has not come to these people for a long time.

So she smelled it, and she alone smelled it, down there in Derry.There is a bit of bloody smell, but more corpse smell, the smell of rotting corpses.

There must have been a lot of dead bodies - the bodies of those who were missing, they were not missing but dead, killed by the "it", and the other party kept the bodies obviously not for predation - strictly speaking, not for the general sense prey.

Thinking of the dream that night, Ye Mengjiad quickly knew how they died and the motive of "it".

What was there below Derry to hide so many dead bodies (so strong that she could smell them from above)?

Obvious.

sewer.

……

This is America, not France, let alone Paris.That said, don't expect the sewers to be the kind of place where ladies in dresses can walk around.

Ye Mengjia is not afraid of being dirty or smelly, that's true, but it doesn't mean that she will just step into the sewage and kill all the way to "it"'s lair - this sounds really stupid It exploded, didn't it?

Besides, after entering the sewer, her sense of smell will definitely be hindered to a certain extent, and objectively it will definitely have an impact, whether she cares about it subjectively or not; and because "it" is used to it, it will not have such troubles, and it can even In turn, use this to create trouble for her.

Hmm...or else, just wait.After all, she is not alone (the snake) staring at "it".Yemengard had to think of those two guys of unknown origin (Shadow and Wednesday), and those strange-looking young people.

It seems that they are all relatively well-known figures. How could they suddenly return to Derry Town together at such a time?

It must be for that reason, and it could only be for that reason.

……

It's getting worse.

All seven of them had returned to Derry, and it was evident that it was all around them.

The town of Derry has never been a paradise.All the ugliness in the world can be found here.And the seven of them, the seven who once called themselves the "Union of Losers", how could it be possible for them to have the so-called "happy childhood"?

After returning here, the nightmare hidden in their memories was also vividly interpreted by "it", making them weak and unable to have the power to knock down "it" like their childhood.

How did they do it then?Because they are children, with unlimited imaginations, and it is never muscular strength that can be dealt with, but strong emotions.As they grow older, the imagination is less powerful and less of a threat to "it."

However, no matter what, they will not and never can back down. "It" has taken away many, many people around them, maybe the relationship is not very good, but——it will never let the nightmare continue.

Even if it costs their lives.
