[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

"Slowly, I gave up and stayed numb in that small containment room, passively accepting those hateful...experiments."

"Every day in the cell, I have nothing to do but remember—remember the town I lived in, remember every road I walked, remember the village you lived in, remember...you."

The Gap Girl spoke slowly, with a soft light shining in her eyes.Although he knew that the timing was not right, Hachijo couldn't help but feel a hint of secret joy in his heart.

How nice that her best friend never forgot her.Although I have always wondered why I left suddenly back then, but now, it seems that this question has become less important.

"I was imprisoned here for such a long time, slowly, my idea of ​​'leaving here' became weaker and weaker, although I still wanted to see you again, but this wish seemed to come true Sex, infinitely close to zero."

"I didn't even think that I could see you again in my lifetime. Do you know, Xiaoba, at that moment, I was really, really happy. I even felt that even if I died at that moment, I would still be happy." It's worth it." There was a bright light in the gap girl's eyes.

"I... When I see you again, I am also very happy!" Because of her emotions, Hachijo was a little incoherent when she spoke, and she couldn't help holding her friend's hand tightly.She doesn't live in the city like the Gap Girl. In the countryside, except for hunting and getting along with the Gap Girl, she never communicates with others, and has developed a habit of reticence.In this case, even the confession from the bottom of my heart sounds a little pale.However, as long as you look into her eyes, you will clearly know that everything she said is the truth hidden in your heart.

"I've been looking for you all these years, and I've been thinking about whether something will happen to you outside, and sometimes I even feel that you left suddenly because of something I did wrong..." Hachijo said softly with.

"No. Nothing." The Gap Girl said quickly.

"However, these are not important now." Hachijo smiled at her.

"Little Ba, do you... regret coming here, regret coming to me?" The Gap Girl hesitated for a while, but still asked.

If he hadn't come, Hachijo wouldn't have fallen to where he is now.Maybe she will come to pain and confusion for a period of time, maybe she will hate her, maybe...

But at least, she won't be taken in, won't lose her freedom like her, won't...

will not die.

"Even if it's us, we're going to die." Probably seeing the doubts and fears in the Gap Girl's heart, Hachijo whispered, "Now, it's just that this day has finally come."

The existence of life will inevitably usher in death, this is an eternal law.Monsters live much longer than humans, but that doesn't mean they won't come to an end.

People are afraid of death, but monsters...maybe it's because they have already lived enough, and when the time of death is approaching, they won't be as unwilling as humans.

Just like the current Gap Girl and Hachijo.

Although it is said that the agents of the Fr branch of the Foundation need to achieve the goal of "capturing SCP-050-Fr and another unknown anomaly", but... If a person really wants to die, then other people really can't stop it living.

Like those suicide hotlines, they exist more to help people who want to die but not want to live at all.If it is true that there is "nothing but death", it really does not take a few seconds to open the window and jump from upstairs.Of course, that kind of person... doesn't need to be saved.

No matter what the external force is, only he/she can save a person.

The same is true of beings with self-awareness.

Then--

[SCP-050-Fr, the anomaly has been neutralized by itself. 】

[Request to redesignate SCP-050-Fr as SCP-050-Fr-D. 】

[Approval requested. —O5-██]

……

It's... interesting.Although Yemengard stayed in her room all the time, as long as she wanted to, she could see exactly what happened outside as if she was watching live.

Jormungandr has never had any feelings "like" or "is" love...even when she was human.

Maybe it's because of a congenital defect, but Ye Mengjia had a hard time, or in other words, never had strong feelings.It's hard to say whether this situation is good or bad. Although this situation does not feel the emotions that make us feel "happy", in contrast, there will be no negative emotions such as "anger".When encountering various special situations, under such circumstances, she can deal with it more calmly, instead of panicking and her mind going blank.

Yermungandr has never felt strong emotions from the heart, so he doesn't know what kind of feelings they can bring to people, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​"wanting to experience it".Therefore, most of her understanding of feelings comes from observing other people.

After becoming the Old One, she has the ability to observe the nature of living beings from a higher level, but... because of this ability, she suddenly lost interest in "observation" itself.Of course, not being interested doesn't mean she won't do this kind of thing at all. Don't you see that she is having a lot of fun now.

Although it is said that transvestites have different ways (waiting for the word to be used here is a bit strange), but surprisingly, in terms of emotions, they are very similar to humans.

The question of "asking what love is in the world, and teaching life and death" has never left Yemengjiade's mind. Of course, although she doesn't care about it now, but... since there is a question that can be answered Why should I give up this opportunity?

She watched the Gap Girl and Hachisha (monsters) cooperating tacitly resist the agents sent by the Foundation in the passage, but they retreated steadily because of the overwhelming advantage of the other party.In the end, they had nowhere to go but calmly accepted the fact, and after talking to each other, they walked towards death peacefully...

Most of the beings living in this world, no, almost all of them have a strong nostalgia for this world.They'll never have the chance to know what the afterlife looks like, yet they're still terrified of a place that might not be so dark.

Perhaps, it's not just the fear of the unknown, but... there should be other factors, but Ye Mengjiad didn't think about it when he was a human being, and later... it's even more impossible to understand it from a human perspective up.

Such a state of existence cannot even be called "sad", because the person concerned himself does not think that there is anything bad about this situation.

In short... everyone has their own ambitions, and we don't have much to say.

……

Why the "butterfly effect" is, everyone must be very clear now.A butterfly flapping its wings can bring about a huge storm, let alone a human?

For example, there was a car accident on a street, and A was killed by a car; but at the same time, there is another possibility that A escaped, but two other people died in the car accident.In time (let's say another 200 years), although the two possibilities arose from exactly the same situation, by that time they will surely be very different.

I say this because... the story we are going to see next is closely related to the "Butterfly Effect".

Early the next morning, after waking up, Yemengade was called by the owner of the Fr branch to talk about life... no, it was a talk.

The reason is actually very simple, last night Hachiko...appeared outside her room door, so no matter what, the director of Site-██ has to ask the reason—although the Gap Girl and Hachiko are at this time Everyone got lunch...

Ye Mengjia seldom—no, strictly speaking, never—tells a single lie.What is the specific reason... It's hard to say clearly, if I really want to describe it in the language that is closest to human thinking... that is, I don't care.

Yes, disdain.Ye Mengjiadid not bother to lie.To say that she thinks it's a shame to lie... It's not right, after all, she doesn't care about such illusory things as face.

Strictly speaking, Ye Mengjiadid not lie... In fact, there is more than one reason.On the one hand, she's actually...well, not very good at lying.

Surprising, right?According to the setting, Yemengade should be the kind of (cross out) Mary Sue (cross out) who is omnipotent every day, how can she be "not good at" even such trivial things?

But the fact is _(:з」∠)_.

Although the "Old Dominator" does not refer to a race, the various Old Ones, except for those who are related by blood (such as Ke Zong and its descendants), basically have nothing in common, but... because "there is no need to ", so for most of them, many skills that are very useful to us are "meaningless" and "useless" to them.Lying, for example, is obviously one of those cases.

Of course, there are exceptions.Nyarlathotep... is of course the most typical.It shoulders the important mission of awakening Azathoth again, so it conscientiously spreads chaos on the earth... In order to bring the end of the world to the earth (or, in order to let other old rulers recover, it will use cutting-edge It grants technology to certain selected humans, induces humans to kill each other... etc. It can do these things, and it is obviously very proficient in the "art of language"... In other words, it is extremely good at making lie.

In any case, as an old dominator whose body fell into a deep sleep but whose consciousness was not restricted by any means, Yermungandr and Nyarlathotep did have a deep or shallow intersection.So Nyarlathotep also unintentionally taught Yermungandr a lot of its experience in the "art of language".
