Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

Oh...it's the original owner of the letter.

Bai Yu quickly recalled the letter from Dr. Raymond Hamm a month ago.

At that time, he inexplicably received the letter and SCP-049, which led to the current delicate relationship between him and Director Liu Ming.

"How about? Apologize first? Although I didn't ask for the plague doctor to come..."

Bai Yu was thinking about how to start the conversation, but unexpectedly Liu Ming started the conversation first.

"Stationmaster, please take us to see SCP-049 first. After all, it is our Foundation's project..."

"no problem."

Bai Yu also took advantage of the situation to back off, after all, it was also his wish to cooperate with the foundation.

The Edita parallel connector behind him was temporarily closed. Now that the spatial anchor point had been located, the subsequent material exchange would be easy...

Another more important point is that running Edita for one hour consumes half a day's worth of electricity in Chengdu. The foundation's money doesn't come from the wind, so it's impossible to keep it running all the time like the Lobotomy Corporation.

Everyone walked into the orange corridor of Lobotomy Corporation.

They ignored the curious looks of many people, but also tried their best to hide their surprise at the objects contained in the containment units they saw along the way.

'A gathering place for humans who survived the apocalypse...'

'An energy company that extracts energy from abnormal bodies...'

Here, Liu Ming's face under the helmet never relaxed for a moment.

Although he had been preparing himself mentally since the moment he saw the video recorded by the Nine-Tailed Fox and joined the O5-13 project, he only realized the weight of the pressure on him when he actually stood here.

This isn't just an anomaly...

If what Bai Yu said along the way is true, this is a world that can accommodate seven billion people, but is countless times more miserable than the Earth.

The Foundation will have to carefully consider whether to intervene in this world or close the channel connecting to this 'anomaly'...

After all, as a relatively conservative organization that maintains normalcy, the Foundation's main purpose is to maintain the "normality" of the original universe's Earth. It is not in the Foundation's interest to interfere in the affairs of other parallel universes without any benefit.

And now, they were still walking with their own thoughts, but another blonde girl in a suit had already come up to them and greeted them.

"Bai Yu? Don't we have to test Edith today?"

"Who are you?" Liu Ming felt that this person looked a little familiar.

"Did you succeed? Are these people with middle-parted hair?" When she walked up to them, Yuan Wei could barely make out the identities of these four outsiders.

"Yes," Bai Yu nodded.

"Okay," Yuan Wei didn't seem to care about this. She just stuffed the paper in his hand and ran away quickly. "This is my application for using 914 for the experiment. Here it is."

The girl's figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Only the four newly arrived middle-parted members were left.

"Ah, this is SCP-105 Yuanwei, a member of MTF Alpha-9," Bai Yu explained to them briefly.

105, 914?

Good guy!

So you're the one who caused all the chaos at Site-19?!

As a former supervisor, Liu Ming still knew about these bad things.

"You really shouldn't have taken SCP-914 away... News of Site-19 has reached us. If this incident weren't so bizarre, with no evidence of negligence, the O5s would have removed the director long ago."

He looked at Bai Yu with a very complicated expression.

"That's not what I thought."

As if he could see the look under the helmet, Bai Yu smiled bitterly and said that he was just a scapegoat.

"Let's keep going. 049's containment room is right in front of us."

The destination was just ahead. Bai Yu led them into the entrance hall and looked at the scene inside through the last security door.

Liu Ming felt very nervous.

The plague doctor, who was feared by many researchers, was quietly operating the instrument, and a steady stream of liquid similar to that used in alchemy was being injected into a corpse with a cell head.

It feels like an operation, but also like refining something...

"Stationmaster! Your containment methods are too crude, there's not even a Tesla door! Besides, how could you let 049 access the corpses so easily?! You will kill many people!" he growled.

"Believe me, we have no choice, Director Liu Ming," Bai Yu sighed.

This was his honest opinion. If 049 really broke out of containment, few of them would be able to defeat him head-on. At that time, there would be no other possibility except that the entire branch would become the nest of 049-2.

The current containment is actually the optimal solution he has arranged based on the current situation of the Lobotomy Corporation.

But his explanation obviously failed to convince Liu Ming.

"I will report all this information truthfully," the foundation director turned around and said in an uneasy tone, "Stationmaster, the foundation may..."

"I know some things are hard for you to understand," Bai Yu interrupted him directly, "so let's talk about something you're interested in, like technology?"

Technology?

To be honest, Liu Ming was really curious about what kind of technology this doomsday world had.

After all, the original intention of the Foundation when it took the risk to implement the Edith Project was to utilize the technology of other parallel universes to improve the technological level of its own universe.

Bai Yu has now appropriately introduced singularity or semi-singularity technologies such as enhanced tattoos, workshop weapons, regeneration ampoules, and EGO to the foundation.

"The most important thing that keeps this world stable is these singularity technologies..."

He even brought them into the security department to show them his EGO and physical strength.

Level 5 employee, A-level EGO regular....

Without being modest, Bai Yu is quite strong now. In fact, he is very close to being a first-level finisher.

Chapter 165 Invitation from the Foundation

"Come on, try to shoot me."

After changing into the blood-red EGO suit, Bai Yu stood in the center of the shooting range and waved to the MTF agent opposite him.

And as if he could see that the agent was doubting the correctness of the order, he added with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to kill. However, it's best not to use those magical bullets. Try using ordinary bullets first."

What a ridiculous order!

The MTF member looked at his companions in the spectator seats, and finally had no choice but to point the gun at the station chief's left arm.

No matter how much you joke, it can't be serious.

Just when he was thinking of aiming the bullet a little off target just to show his respect... Bai Yu had already put on the scarlet helmet.

"boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly occurred in the closed shooting range.

To everyone's surprise, this was not the sound of a bullet being fired, but the roar of metal hitting the ground!

'How can it be? ! ’

The agent in front of him had no idea that this was an action that a human could do.

He witnessed with his own eyes that the stationmaster simply bent his body slightly, and without any warning, his legs burst out with incredible strength.

In just this second, the distance he deliberately maintained was rapidly shrinking.

'Why are you so fast in this medieval armor?!'

The agent didn't even have time to think about how the stationmaster did it.

However, his many years of military experience also made him almost instinctively control his body to retreat, and the Type 191 rifle in his hand was already raised, venting flames towards the blood-red afterimage in front of him.

This action bought him 2 seconds.

But it was still not enough. Bai Yu didn't even try to dodge, allowing these ordinary bullets to hit the scarlet scales of EGO.

They could not leave any dents on the surface of the armor, and the impact force that spread through it had been completely absorbed by his powerful body functions.

He was almost moving forward at high speed under the rain of bullets!

5 seconds into the charge.

The pale bandage easily penetrated the alloy wall and cut forward until it stopped at the agent's neck.

"I lost."

The agent slowly lowered the firearm that was pressed against the scarlet armor. All his offensive methods were ineffective, and it was too late to activate his thaumaturgic equipment.

The enemy's attack was too fierce, and if Bai Yu was an anomalous object that had breached containment, he would have been dead...

Now, the chill on his neck gradually faded away, and he realized that the stationmaster had put away the strange weapon in his hand.

The agent recalled the feeling of those five seconds in a trance.

It wasn't just the inhuman speed; these strange equipment also gave him a great sense of oppression.

It was as if blood and death were chasing him, and the breeze fanned by the crow feathers tightly wrapped in bandages even touched his...soul?

"Are these... the EGOs you're talking about?"

Liu Ming walked to the agent's side and gently stroked the crack left by the "square sword".

“5.8x42mm DBP87普通弹能将4.15g的弹头打出940~960m/s的初速度，携带动能约1952~2000J，而在100米距离上对普通钢板的侵彻力约8~10mm.....”

"Stationmaster, the strength of your equipment is truly astonishing... No, your physical strength is equally astonishing."

This was Liu Ming's sincere praise. As a doctor with double degrees in space and applied physics, he knew very well how expressive Bai Yu was just now.

If he were just an ordinary person, he would have broken his legs when taking that first explosive step.

"This is the city. The strength and quantity of technology here are beyond imagination, and there are many things that are stronger than me, or even weirder."

Bai Yu explained briefly and led everyone out of the shooting range, who had gradually come to understand the "technology" he was talking about.

Next, they "tourized" the Lobotomy Corporation for a while, but after going around in circles, they finally returned to Edith's room.

Here, the group of top students from W Company had already left, leaving only a white-haired woman standing in front of the instrument and starting her research alone.

"Faust, go to bed early. I don't need you to work overtime yet," Bai Yu reminded.

But in the face of Bai Yu's kindness, Faust didn't even look back. "Faust only needs 3 hours of sleep to maintain the necessary energy for the day."

"......" Bai Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't choose to continue persuading.

He and the MTF came to Edith, and only then did he hand the folder to Liu Ming.

"If you need this information about the city, you can take it away."

"Information? Faust wants a copy too..." Faust, who was standing aside, seemed to have heard some sensitive words, raised his head and explained calmly.

But Bai Yu ignored her for the time being and continued to wait for the reaction of everyone in the foundation.

In his expectation, Liu Ming and his team should not refuse this. After all, this information can help the foundation quickly understand the situation in the city, and it should be taken for both public and private reasons.

only....

The actual development was beyond his expectations. Liu Ming slowly lowered his head and took a look at the instrument on his chest.

He finally spoke slowly.

"We need this information."

"Then take it..." Bai Yu's face looked strange. He couldn't understand why they didn't take it even though the information was right in front of them.

"Just take it," Liu Ming said calmly, "Stationmaster, we invite you. Please follow us back to the foundation. Someone wants to see you."

-----------------

Return to the Foundation?

It even took Bai Yu a while to finally understand what they meant.

'Are they inviting me...to leave this shithole world?'

When Bai Yu thought of this, he unexpectedly found that he didn't feel as excited as he did a month ago.

Yes, he himself didn't know when he forgot the goal that was born when he learned about the existence of the Foundation.
