[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

Just after the proposal of "draining SCP-354" was finally passed (of course there were many twists and turns during the period, but everyone must not be very interested in it, so I won't go into details here), the base began to make careful preparations, trying to create a new world in the unknown. Minimize losses in the event of accidents.

During this period, a little accident happened:

One day, after lunch, Yermungand was on his way back to his room when he heard some strange but true news: A member of the task force accidentally found a small tree in the woods outside SCP-354. boy.

However, rather than saying it was an accident, it is better to say that this is already a supernatural event!

The population density of Canada is very small, and the Foundation has set up barriers around dozens of kilometers around SCP-354. Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for unrelated personnel to appear here.

Why am I so sure?This is about what the so-called "obstacles" are.Strictly speaking, it is not something like a fence or a sign prohibiting progress that is visible to the naked eye, but some invisible hint that directly targets the mind.

Of course, this method is not 100% successful - just like hypnosis, some people can easily enter the hypnotic state, and some people are extremely difficult to be fooled.It is possible for a determined person to spot an anomaly and choose to move on.However, the foundation will naturally not fail to consider this point, and there will be traps a little further in - of course not killing people, but just making the other party lose consciousness - once the trap is triggered, the foundation will immediately notice, Then administer amnestics to the hapless fellow.

So, back to the original topic - why did I say "almost" instead of "exactly"?In fact, the answer is also very simple - because this is the world of the SCP Foundation, and it is not worth being surprised that anything unbelievable happens.Someone just showed up somewhere out of thin air?This person may be a superpower with teleportation ability, or a mage, and of course there are other possibilities.

So... After this happened, the members of the foundation checked the boy and determined that he was not a superpower, so they decided to erase his memory after the mission was over and send him away.

To be honest, there are very few married people in the foundation, and even fewer have offspring, which makes them extremely curious about children.Even Yemengard was pulled over by them to watch - anyway, through the one-way glass, they are not afraid of scaring people.

……

Obviously, the "little boy" who can be described by the author with these pens and inks is of course not a simple character, ah, the specific situation will not be shown here.Let's get back to the topic first.

"Draining SCP-354" does not mean that it is enough to move a few powerful water pumps. There are many details that are easily overlooked but are necessary for the success of this task.Like...where does the liquid drawn from the pool need to be drained.This kind of blood-like liquid can't just be thrown anywhere, it will definitely cause problems.If it is discovered by the public... Maybe it will become a weird talk again and attract a program group like "Into █ School"... In addition, judging from the volume of the pool (large, extremely large or infinite), The place must not be too small, and it must not be too far from SCP-354... This is a difficult problem.

Another crucial issue is the liquid in SCP-354.Be aware that as the depth of the pool increases, the viscosity of the liquid also increases, so the further back you go the harder it is for the pump to work.The quality of the water pumps produced by the foundation is indeed guaranteed, but this does not mean that these force majeure factors can be ignored, right?

Fortunately, although these problems seem very troublesome, they are not completely insurmountable.After a lot of chaos, things are finally on the right track, and the plan can almost start.

Although the plan is very grand, it can be said to be quite boring at the beginning.The water pump was running non-stop, but the water (?) level did not seem to have dropped at all.There is no way, after all, the pool is really big.People left after watching the pool for a while—they still had work to do.And it doesn't matter if the water pump is left alone, it is fully automatic anyway.

……

In the history of human development, "legends" are a part that "seems insignificant, but actually has a high status".Among other things, in literature, the application of various allusions emerges in endlessly, and there are so many examples that there is no need to list them at all.

Ye Mengjiad has no interest in these things, but he still knows what he should know - he has learned a little bit in this world, there is no way, although these things are very boring, after all, it will be more troublesome if he fails the exam.

Although he has learned these things, for Yemengade, these so-called "knowledge" are not only useless, but also boring.If she had a mental palace like Sherlock Holmes's mind, these things must be the first to be cleared out.

The reason why I say this is... Now, while watching the pump work, Jormungandr, for some reason, a word popped into his mind.

Pandora's box.

No, not the famous Task Force Omega-7, but the moral behind that story.

What these people are doing now, isn't it just opening a dangerous Pandora's Box? !I don't know whether to praise them for their courage or to scold them for not wanting to die.But...ah, forget it, what does it matter to her what humans do?Even to put it bluntly, even if the world was destroyed, she might not even blink her eyes.

The universe is huge, and new stars are born every second, and aging stars are annihilated, and countless new lives appear or disappear at the same time.This kind of thing has long been familiar to Yemengard.It is just a mere earth, even if it is destroyed, it is normal, there is nothing to make a fuss about.Even if she's been on this planet for a long time - that doesn't mean anything.

Judging from SCP-354's past style, it will probably wait for about a week, and when the people from the Foundation don't stop, it will lose its temper and destroy the base...destroy the earth?No no no, before it can do that, other SCPs still have a chance to stop it.

What, you say that Jormungandr is only a human being now, and it is very likely that he will die there?No, strictly speaking, she is just "using" a human body now.No matter how this body is, whether it is alive or dead, it will not have any impact on her consciousness.

The Old Ones are eternal, and time means nothing to them.The same is true of other lives, fragile, insignificant, as light as a handful of ashes that will disappear in smoke at any time.

The world in the eyes of ants is two-dimensional, that is to say, for them, the concept of "height" does not exist.If someone reaches out and picks up an ant from the ground, for other ants the ant disappears from their world.For the Old Ones, making a race, a planet or even a galaxy disappear is as easy as picking up an ant.

That is already two levels, a gap that is completely impossible to bridge.

Do you care about things that can be easily determined by you?I think most people don't.It is precisely because they are too weak that it is not worth spending any extra thought.

……

Secrets are actually easy to reveal.

It's not that if you keep a certain secret secret, you can keep it seamless from now on, or that there is no such thing as a true "seamless" in this world.

A secret is something that is known only to a small number of people and cannot be made public

It is a well-known fact that language is not alone in conveying information.A few small movements, a casual glance... can make unsuspecting people discover clues in an instant.

What's more, "keeping" a secret originally means "not wanting others to know", and this fact will inevitably manifest itself, aggravating the suspicion of others.

What I mean by these words is that... Yemengard's current disguise of "pretending to be a human being" is actually not... or, in other words, not perfect at all.

Eyes are hard to deceive. In fact, if Ye Mengjia didn't want to be discovered, she might have been exposed a long time ago. You must know that there are many people in the foundation who have seen the world and have bright eyes. It's a far cry from what's easy to deceive.

↑Ah, the above paragraph may seem a bit weird, but the meaning is actually very simple: Because Ye Mengjia didn't want his abnormalities to be discovered, so he can make other people "ignore" these abnormalities to a certain extent .To be honest, this "certain degree" is not much, because although Ye Mengjiad doesn't want to be discovered, he won't be afraid if he is really discovered.

If you're asking about the specifics... well, normal people wouldn't notice it, and most SCPs wouldn't be able to detect the anomaly either.But some SCPs with keen insight or special settings, or those doctors, researchers, agents who have been endowed by the author with a lot of awesome characters...etc!How did the dimensional wall break! ! !Sorry, please wait a moment...

(after a while of tinkling)

Phew... finally solved.That... where did I just say?Ah, I remembered, um... well, actually I'm almost done.All in all, what I want to say is... If it wasn't for Ye Mengjia's good luck, and he never had close contact with those eligible people, otherwise... Uh, we would have changed the copy a long time ago.

Finally, let's sum it up: the seriousness of a "secret discovered" really depends on the importance of the matter, and... how powerful the secret holder himself is.
