Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"Let's go to the office at the end. He's waiting for you."

“…”

Although Bai Yu was somewhat skeptical about this decisiveness and casualness, he still followed his instructions.

He opened the door and walked in...

Following a soft 'bang' sound, Liu Ming was the only one left in the empty corridor.

He saw Bai Yu off, but he didn't have time to rest.

Liu Ming quickly returned to the original physical examination room.

In front of him, the equipment called EGO was still placed in the instruments in front of him, and several scientific researchers had already taken out the data that should be tested from various instruments.

But at this moment, their faces were a little surprised.

"Lao Zeng, what's going on? Do I have cancer?" Liu Ming walked over jokingly. "Then you must tell me. Don't worry about me. I have five social insurances and one housing fund. I can handle it..."

"Liu Ming, this isn't your medical report," the leading researcher quickly realized upon seeing him approach. "If it were yours, I'd suggest the MTF shoot you right now."

"so serious?"

Liu Ming frowned and took Bai Yu's physical examination report from them.

After taking a quick look, I quickly understood what they meant.

The above shows the Hume index test report of Bai Yu's body.

Liu Ming looked at the undulating lines on the coordinate system and asked softly, "Is he a reality bender?"

"No, reality bender's Hume level is generally higher than baseline reality, while the surrounding Hume level is lower... The webmaster's Hume level is exactly the opposite. His Hume level is lower than baseline reality. He is a reverse reality bender."

"What's the situation then?" Liu Ming couldn't quite remember having heard of such a term before.

"Of course you haven't heard much about it."

The researcher shrugged.

"Compared to the reality bender who creates trouble every day, the counter-reality bender is the 'chosen one' who can be corrected by 'reality'..."

"Speak human language!" Liu Ming felt that he was talking nonsense.

"Well, to put it simply, the 'correction' that happens to them is either very lucky or very unlucky, just like SCP-503.

Among more than 80% of the reality benders investigated by the Foundation, their life experiences were so difficult that their autobiographies could be sold as novels.

But other than that, they have no special features. Well, because luck is difficult to assess... Therefore, the Foundation does not even classify them as anomalous, and naturally there is no explanation in the employee handbook issued to you. "

The researcher felt that his explanation was simple and easy to understand. If Liu Ming still didn't understand, then there was nothing he could do.

And he did it, and now Liu Ming only has one problem.

"According to you, shouldn't the stationmaster be one of the safest ordinary people among us? Why did you all look like you had glimpsed a monster just now?"

Chapter 168 Join the Foundation

"If this is really his only condition, then of course there's no problem..."

The researchers present looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

"Look at the report in your hand, Liu Ming. Don't you think the Hume level in his body is fluctuating too much?"

"His Hume reading jumped back and forth between 75 and 98 136 times in three minutes! It's like we're observing not just one reality bender, but countless different reality benders dancing in front of our monitoring equipment!"

"..."

Liu Ming is not an expert in realism, but he seems to have finally sensed something wrong after hearing what these guys said.

However, the researchers didn't give him time to react and pulled him in front of an instrument that was specifically used to detect abnormalities.

"If that's not enough...just look at that stuff."

This machine is testing the bandaged sword that previously defeated the MTF agent. Bai Yu is willing to leave these things with them for their research for the time being.

"This thing's Hume reading is currently 65. A fairly normal anomaly, right..."

"Yes..." Liu Ming nodded.

"What if I say that when the stationmaster held this thing, its Hume level peaked at 189?"

"?"

Liu Ming looked at the group of people in disbelief.

But they all nodded firmly.

"Yes! The Hume level around him is also not 100 in baseline reality, but higher!"

"We even have reason to suspect that he's not a natural reality bender, but rather that he's extracting some of his own Hume levels and transferring them outside his body, thereby increasing the Hume levels around him! These things, which probably shouldn't exist, have become more 'real' simply because he's here!"

"Look at his previous medical report again. His inhuman physique and the inexplicable memetic contamination! If he's not abnormal, then what is?"

These researchers gave Bai Yu a high rating of his threat level.

However, this is also because, after all, the Level 5 security clearance brought by the "Webmaster" meme is usually only granted to O Council members and designated personnel!

If he realized the strength of his own meme, he could even take over an entire unprepared site without any hindrance according to the procedures in the Foundation Security Management Protocol!

"Those are all very good reasons."

A few minutes later, Liu Ming finally recovered from his brief silence.

"You're right, but the conversation over there should have already started..."

He slowly shifted his gaze from the data and EGO in front of him to the room outside the corridor.

In fact, it was almost the same as he guessed.

Bai Yu was not aware of the discussion about him in the outside world.

The moment he walked into the room, he saw what was in front of him - a table, a chair, and a computer.

This is just like an ordinary single-person office, nothing extra....

But it was obvious that here, the other party wanted him to use the computer in front of him.

Bai Yu pulled out a chair, and the moment he sat down, the computer in front of him started up.

【Welcome, webmaster】

Red text slowly appeared on the black screen.

"you are?"

Bai Yu also vaguely guessed from the surrounding atmosphere...

[I am O5-13, an AI. You can just call me 13.]

Really?

Bai Yu, who was sitting in front of it, of course remembered the 'person' who delivered Edita and the letter to him.

Therefore, the first thing he did was to solemnly thank the computer in front of him.

"Thank you, Mr. 13. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to contact the Foundation."

[No need to thank me, webmaster. Thanking you is a human emotion... Next, please explain the situation in your world to me.]

"of course can."

Bai Yu took out the document about the city.

Fifteen minutes later, he quickly reported the latest situation in the city to one of the Foundation's highest leaders.

And for such a powerful AI, it quickly grasped the key points.

[So... there's no such thing as the Foundation in your world?]

O5-13 displayed calmly.

"Yes," Bai Yu nodded, and then said expectantly, "So I think we can make a deal. You send an MTF to help us renovate the city, and in exchange, we will collect as much singularity technology as possible from the city..."

The screen in front of me stopped for a few seconds.

O5-13, the AI, acted like a human thinking for a moment.

[Transaction? No, webmaster, the Foundation will not conduct any form of transaction with you personally.]

"Why?!"

Bai Yu couldn't understand it, and his heartbeat quickened.

Facing such a behemoth as the Foundation alone, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

If the Foundation really wanted to overturn the table, even if he had color-level strength, he would probably end up being taken into custody sooner or later in their territory.

He took a few slow breaths, but in the blink of an eye, the next line of words appeared.

[Because, Webmaster Bai Yu, as O5-13, I now formally invite you to rejoin the SCP Foundation.]

hiss....

In a sense, this line is more powerful than the previous line rejecting his trade request.

After all, Bai Yu never thought that he would be invited to join the foundation.

He said calmly, "Number 13, I should be considered an anomaly in the eyes of the Foundation. You all know very well..."

[Every O006 member who has used SCP-5 is anomalous in some way.]

O5-13 easily resolved Bai Yu's concerns, and after that, more red subtitles continued to appear.

[Besides, since everyone thinks you are a webmaster, why can't you really become a webmaster? ]

【You may be able to establish a new Foundation site in the city. 】

[We will grant you the authority to organize and dispatch MTF teams independently, and provide a certain amount of funding, equipment, and technical support to help you consolidate the Foundation's foundation in the city...]

........

The development of things seemed a little beyond his expectations.

It seems that all of this was prepared by O5-13. This O5 council member is even more concerned about this matter than this "time traveler".

"Why do you want the Foundation to establish a site in the city so badly?"

Now Bai Yu has finished reading the lines of words in front of him, but he is still puzzled.

Chapter 169 All Accepted

This was the first time O5-13 had been silent for so long.

But when the red subtitles appear again, their words will not stop.

[The Foundation will need a site in an alternative world in the future to deal with threats that may arise from various places in the future]

On the other hand, the benefits that Project Edita brings to the Foundation should never be abandoned casually.

[And because of over-conservatism, classifying all new things as abnormal and containing them...this behavior will only ruin the future of humanity.]

Threat?

Bai Yu slowly savored the word.

He seemed to have heard of some destroyed foundations in the past, like...

"Forget it, let's not think about it. Some things are better not to think about..."

Shaking his head, Bai Yu put aside some of his thoughts and focused his attention on the last two sentences of O5-13.

"I roughly understand what you mean... But, No. 13, the Foundation doesn't recommend any contact with me?"

[Yes, the Foundation headquarters is also unaware of your existence.]

"Well... no wonder you invited me to join the Foundation. You can only use your own name."

Bai Yu smiled awkwardly.

It seems that if he and the city were to know about this to most of the Foundation's O5 councilors, it would definitely not be welcomed.

But now...

"I agree. Do I need to sign any contract?"
