[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

"Don't lie when you can, rely on hints." That's what Nyarlathotep said at that time.

A person who knows that what he said does not match the reality is called lying.If he or she does not believe at all that what he or she is saying is not true, it is not "lying".A person who lived hundreds of years ago said, "We live on a flat continent rather than a sphere. Although we all know this to be false now, that person is not a liar, because he / She thought from the bottom of her heart that what she said was the truth.

To be honest, Ye Mengjiad felt that hinting was much more interesting than simply lying. Of course, it was also more difficult.If you tell a lie, as long as the speaker's anti-polygraph skills pass the test, there is basically no major problem.However, if you hint...Using this method is mostly to mislead others and make them think in a certain direction that the user wants, which is very difficult.After all... Everyone has a different way of thinking about problems. If one wants to succeed, one must put himself into that person's perspective to think, and then figure out how to achieve the goal... This is not an easy task thing.

Fortunately, this difficulty is really nothing to Yermungandr who has turned on the God's perspective (fog).

……

It was a cloud of dust.

That was no ordinary cloud of dust.

↑Of course, if it is really ordinary dust haze, it is impossible for me to write it here.

An anomaly, to be precise - SCP-056-Fr.Any human beings who come into contact with it, the part of the body that comes into contact with it will be erased in reality and history, and all related effects will also disappear-only SCP-056-Fr and witnesses can remember this change .

So... why does Jormungandr, a researcher here who is supposed to specialize in the study of large anomalous creatures, now holds a notebook and SCP-056-Fr in his hand and stares—no, SCP-056- Fr has no eyes—what?

Uh... To put it simply, the failure of the containment of SCP-050-Fr last time made the members of the Fr branch a little nervous, and the various research projects that were temporarily put on hold because they were not urgent were also brought up again. schedule.However, there are only a few researchers in the Fr branch, so many plans cannot be completed by these people at once, so... the few people from the headquarters were also recruited.

From this personnel allocation, it can be seen that the Fr branch is really in a hurry to go to the doctor. You see, Yemengade, a typical language dead, has long been asked to do communication tasks... emmmmm, yes The same is true for people who want to meet other headquarters.

"Hello." SCP-056-Fr rang in Jormungandr's head.It sounds like... um, how should I put it, a very wise and calm, even... a little kind male voice, yes, you can imagine the way Dumbledore or Gandalf speaks.

If the image and tone of the person (or non-human being) who said this is seriously inconsistent, then the listener—as long as it is a normal person—must be immediately vigilant.

↑Because the speaker's image and tone of voice are not very consistent, this will inevitably make human beings naturally have some doubts about "strange things".

This kind of suspicion cannot be said to be completely wrong, but... Strictly speaking, this phenomenon is inseparable from the human instinct of "judging people by their appearance".

Let us imagine that if it is not human beings, it is replaced by any race with no obvious difference in appearance-yes, many alien races in the universe meet this requirement, but if you think their image is disgusting, you don’t want to eat it If you want to imagine this scene... then think about slime _(:з」∠)_——in this situation.

Uh... well, slimes really don't have that kind of IQ... I said, this is just a hypothesis, so what to do seriously!

All in all...they judge friend or foe not by appearance, but by some deeper content-in this way, the chances of getting the correct answer are higher.Why don't I mention the specific method for the time being ← humans can't use it anyway.

However, if you are really curious... In fact, this method is a bit like our computer firewalls. They will identify the data passing through and make judgments based on certain specific data.Of course, just like some viruses or Trojan horses can disguise themselves to pass through the firewall, this method of judgment is not 100% accurate.

↑That's what I said, but the accuracy rate of this method is actually quite high, and the resultant result is crimes like fraud... On those planets, it is completely, completely, no, exists, exists.

Although their social structure is not similar to ours, but... this is indeed a good phenomenon, isn't it?

……

"You... are not human?" After greeting, SCP-056-Fr paused for a while and said.It's not a human being, and it won't be attracted by some obvious features. In addition to...uh, some unspeakable mutual induction between abnormalities, it has discovered that Yemengard's body is different from ordinary people. place.

Yemengard let out a calm "huh".If it wasn't because she found it troublesome, she would actually have no interest in "hiding her identity" at all.

In the world that was given the name "SCP-722" before, she already had a full understanding of the "SCP Foundation".

At that time, her body had been sleeping in the polar region, but this did not mean that she knew nothing about the outside world.On the contrary, the range of her consciousness, in fact, can even cover half of the earth at its widest range, and as long as she thinks about it, she can know everything that happens within this range.

But—that would be very boring, and moreover, it would be very laborious...

etc.Yemengard suddenly realized something was wrong.

Before she became SCP-722, she was human - there's no denying that.

However, ordinary human beings suddenly turned into an SCP for no reason... Bah, a big snake, there must be a period of time after this, I was quite panicked about it, and then I slowly accepted the reality, right?But... In her mind, there is no memory similar to the above process at all.

No, it's impossible to forget, no matter how vague it is, it will definitely leave a little impression.But... the memory of her when she was still a human is really... almost zero.

Is it because when she was a human, she didn't care about everything around her, so until now she has no idea of ​​"wanting to go back to the time when she was still a human", right?

I didn't think about it deliberately before, but now it seems... Even if she is a human being, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary (zheng) (chang) person, so she was able to accept it without any fluctuations in her heart after such an unimaginable situation happened. .

……

Although I thought a lot, the time was actually less than a second.Ye Mengjiade glanced at the surveillance probe in the corner, and then his eyes fell on the cloud of dust in front of him again.

Because it communicates with people through telepathy, the people in the monitoring room can't see anything unusual.Ye Mengjiade narrowed his eyes and wrote a few words in the notebook.

"So, you are hiding your identity and staying among humans?" SCP-056-Fr moved up and down in place, and seemed to look up and down Yemengard with some curiosity.

Jormungandr didn't show any expression changes, as if SCP-056-Fr guessed it wasn't him.The flow of ink in the fountain pen seemed to be hindered, she flicked the pen and scratched casually on the paper.

"Maybe." She said a word vaguely, and asked questions one by one according to the questions listed in the Fr branch in the notebook.

SCP-056-Fr was also sensible, so he didn't ask any further questions. —Of course, it's just a look.After all... telepathy is a really useful ability, isn't it?

……

【You should know my abilities, right? 】

【Um. 】

【Do you... think I did something wrong? 】

【Um? 】

【You... you should know, I have devoured many people. 】

【so? 】

【I'm doing it for their own good... You know, those guys I devoured will do very... crazy things in the future...】

[…] If you heard me right, speaking in human terms... this guy... is actually being wronged?Unexpectedly, an SCP would have such human feelings?I have to say, it was... eye-opening.

To be honest, this kind of SCP... is not uncommon, but it is really rare.

Because... this is the SCP Foundation.The Foundation is not cold, not cruel.Really, not at all.

...but it's relentless.

Everything the Foundation does is for human beings—to enable human beings to survive in this dangerous world.

Humans are indeed very fragile creatures.A little blow can easily kill them.Moreover, living in a place like the earth where the environment far surpasses other planets in the universe, they are also naturally hostile to those alien creatures who want to occupy this planet.

What's more, the vast majority of human beings are completely ignorant of the dangers they face.

——Of course, with the psychological endurance of human beings, in fact, it is better not to know than to know... Otherwise, suddenly learning the truth will only make them collapse all of a sudden, and then cause all kinds of chaos...

However, being able to survive so many crises until now shows that human beings also have their own merits.

Those organizations, organizations like the foundation, are all using their own methods to protect all human beings.These methods may seem crude or even mindless, but you know, they... really work.

Of course, the price is not completely free, but it is very insignificant compared with what you get.And, compared with the serious consequences that may result, these are completely acceptable.

The situation of "saving everyone" only exists in fairy tales. In reality, the possibility of realization is infinitely close to zero.
