[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

hell.

This is a horrible sight that only hell can see.

There is a word in Chinese called "blood flow floating pestle", which means that too many people died in the war, and there was so much blood on the battlefield that the heavy wooden pestle could be floated.This word sounds extremely exaggerated, and it can even be said that it is almost impossible to actually happen in reality.

The amount of blood in an adult's body is about 4 to 5 liters, and releasing all of it will of course cause death, but in fact it does not need to be released at all to achieve this effect.What's more, a large part of fatal injuries do not cause the deceased to bleed much blood.Therefore, the number of dead people needed to create this scene can be said to be too large to be imagined by the human brain.

But everything in front of me is a true description of that suffocating scene that cannot even appear in a dream, and words are not enough to express one ten-thousandth of the terrifying scene.

Red, red, red.

Looking around, this is a color that occupies an absolute advantage in the field of vision.

Strictly speaking, "red" is a general term for a class of colors, and there are a lot of different categories under it.Fiery red, water red, retro red, orangey red... all kinds of red are enough to make even the most gifted art students troubled.

The first thing the eyes caught was blood red.Everything seemed to be blood red, even the air was stained red.

It is the color of human blood that "you can be sure if you see it".Then, it was dark red——it was the color of blood after it had solidified, it was no longer so bright, but it also made people feel a strong sense of fear.

Scary, so scary, scared, run away, want to run away, can't run away—

Reason has completely dissipated from their hearts, leaving only overwhelming thoughts of escape and the desire to deceive themselves and others.

That was enough to drive anyone crazy.

The thick smell of blood lingers in the air, making you feel as if you're sucking someone—or someone's blood—with every breath you take.

Tried to hold my breath, tried to cover my nose and mouth—but nothing worked.

This is a battlefield, a battlefield where both sides of the battle suffer.You don't even need to look with your eyes to ascertain this fact.

But this battlefield - it seems, what is missing?

what is it then?

Yes…………

yes………………

yes……………………

Dead body.

At first glance, the place—not a single corpse.

But that's impossible.This is a real battlefield, not a war between the undead in the hot-blooded youth. Since there is blood, it means that the participants in the war have entities, and there must be bones.

So, what is the answer to the question?

The answer is simple and hard to accept.Or... In fact, it is easy to think of it, but subconsciously, I don't think in that direction.

All the corpses were torn into tiny pieces.

This cannot be done by manpower alone, and from another perspective, no one would want to do such a frenzied thing.

It is impossible for a mindless beast to perform such delicate behaviors, and a human being with sensibility cannot stand the condemnation of conscience——

So, who is the culprit?

"... Isn't it you?"

Yermungand looked down at the thin boy from a height.She was spotless all over her body, it seemed that she had just tidied up her clothes in her room one second, and was teleported by some unknown force the next second.

It is so clean that it is completely incompatible with this bloody world.

"No! Why didn't you stop it!" the boy couldn't help shouting at Yemengade, "You——obviously have this ability!"

"Yes, I have." Yemengard replied calmly, "But—does that concern me? Whether those people live or die has no influence on me at all, and after my situation is exposed, it will only It brought me trouble, if that's the case, then why would I do such a thing that is not worth the loss?" Yemengjia explained with great enthusiasm for some reason.

"You—" the boy was too angry to speak.

……

How did things develop into the way they are now?Actually——everyone who read the previous chapter should be able to figure it out.

SCP-354 has shown its true fangs to the base, to the people who tried to drain it dry.

The entities that emerged from the pool before were strong and weak, but in the end they were all dealt with one by one, so to speak—although tricky, they never went beyond the limits of the Foundation.

From this point of view, SCP-354's attitude towards the Foundation is that it is just for fun, and when it is in the mood, it will throw an entity out. It can be seen that they are in a hurry to deal with it, and they don't use these things to contain it. He that is anxious takes heart.But now, these little guys want to destroy it... Heh, I really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!

From a certain point of view, SCP-354 is very human-like, with unnecessary self-esteem, and does not allow those whose status is lower than itself to offend.

However, there is no way around it. The members of the foundation have low emotional intelligence, which is one of the reasons, and another reason is that they don't consider SCP-354 from the perspective of human nature at all.

Even a humanoid SCP with a mind is not considered a person, let alone this big pool?

So in the end they ate the consequences themselves, and ushered in a sad fate, with no bones left.

……

Jormungandr watched all this happen calmly.Maybe her behavior can really be described as "cold-blooded", but unfortunately I (snake?) don't have any feelings about it.

The cruelest people don't know what cruelty is -- and there's nothing wrong with saying that here.

Jormungandr's spiritual level is higher than that of human beings, so all the words used to describe human character and morality cannot accurately describe her mental state.It can even be said that it is impossible to describe in human language.

That is to say, the so-called "guilt" or "morality" cannot restrain Jormungandr and those old rulers.

So she could watch so many lives die before her eyes indifferently—no, in fact, in her long life, this kind of thing had already happened countless times.

After the same thing happened countless times, people will feel numb.But the Great Old One will not.Time is the least valuable thing to them, and it is also a completely meaningless thing.

They are eternal.

……

Speaking of which, there is one more question: Who is that little boy?Why did Yemengard say "he is the culprit"?

The answer is not difficult, but not so easy to think of:

He is SCP-354.No, technically, he's part of SCP-354.

Who would compare a pool to a large living person (... maybe not)?

However, you must know that the human mind sometimes exhibits symptoms called "schizophrenia", and SCP-354, a self-aware SCP, of course, may experience similar conditions.

Spiritually speaking, the little boy is the "good" side of SCP-354.And the SCP-354 we are familiar with, of course, is more inclined to the "evil" side.And "goodness" will obviously not tolerate "evil" doing that kind of behavior to human beings, so it will interfere with its behavior.

From the previous situation, it is easy to see that "goodness" is obviously at a disadvantage in the confrontation with "evil". It was not very clear for a short period of time, so it was not possible to discover that Jormungandr was different, let alone prevent this tragedy from happening.

From this point of view, Jormungandr was not wrong—at most she just stood by and watched, and the real culprit had nothing to do with her anyway—the real culprit was the guy who was questioning her.

What's more... Ye Mengjia raised his head and looked in the direction of SCP-354.

She had found a way back to her own body.

Although it is said that compared with the original body, the human body can do more sophisticated and complex behaviors, but in fact there is no need for Jormungandr to carry out such activities, so this advantage-for her, it is nothing more than tasteless.

In any case, the body she had used for a long time—infinitely close to eternity—was the one that really suited her.

……

The structure under SCP-354 is very difficult to describe in a way that humans can understand, or it has already surpassed the limit of human thinking.Simply put, as long as it wants to, it can open the passage to any place... Otherwise, where did those entities come from?It can't be that it is bored and raised in the bottom, right?

Of course, SCP-354 isn't all that powerful either, it can only connect to this universe and its parallel universes - other universes that have, have, or will have the SCP Foundation, and nothing else.But for Jormungandr, that was enough.All she needs is a modest introduction, and she can do the rest by herself.

……

Negotiations with SCP-354 went well.

...Of course, there is also the reason for Yemengard's force value.

One of the very important reasons why SCP-354 can make fun of humans is that humans are too weak to pose any threat to it at all (at least for a long time).If it were the unfathomable Jormungandr... that would be a completely different attitude.

Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is nothing more than the case.

Although Ye Mengjiad didn't quite understand why a non-human SCP would behave like this, but... "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" is also the instinct of living things, so it is not surprising.Besides, this kind of trivial matter is harmless, so Yemengard didn't pay much attention to it.

……

Ye Mengjiad was actually very surprised why his consciousness was separated from his body.

One of the reasons... may be because the carrier of her consciousness - not the soul - is not very stable in the first place - after all, she was a human being at the beginning, after a long period of adaptation and adjustment after becoming SCP-722, she still will There are some minor issues.

The situation is definitely inseparable from Yemengard itself, but this is by no means the main reason.

because……
