Is it really normal to contain these anomalies?

"Hey! Aren't you employees of Lobotomy Corporation?!"

Lali suddenly realized something and said that she had been looking for the shadow of that adult for so long, but she could not find him in the W-0001 branch.

"No, it should be considered now, but I just started working."

Yu Qiming suddenly remembered what the stationmaster had told him: within the lobe branch, their default identity was that of a member of the space department.

"Oh oh..." The girl nodded, not quite understanding.

"So, Miss Lali, what do you want from us?" The thaumaturge, realizing his mistake, quickly changed the subject. "Feel free to ask."

Oh...right! Things!

After hearing what the employee said, Lali finally remembered her purpose.

The girl quickly put aside her doubts and carefully took out a small piece of paper from her pocket.

Drawing on it was a slightly abstract fox head... There was nothing that could be done about it, after all, Lali had only met them once, and it was already pretty good that she could draw it like this based on a moment of memory.

Based on the outline and tail above, Yu Qiming could barely recognize that this was the team logo of the MTF Nine-Tailed Fox Team.

"Um, do you know them?"

Lali asked expectantly, as she still remembered that it was the person with such an armband who saved her.

Over the past month, she has asked almost everyone in the department about this painting, but even the knowledgeable senior Bai Yu just shook his head silently after seeing the painting and was unwilling to talk about it anymore.

And now, she finally saw shoulder patches on this foundation team that had a similar style to this team.

"Nine-tailed fox?" Yu Qiming's answer made her excited.

"Nine-tailed fox? They are called nine-tailed fox?" Lali repeated the name of her savior over and over again.

"Why are you looking for them?" The magician was a little curious about the girl's motives.

"No, it's because one of them saved me... I want you to deliver this letter to him for me."

Lali was very grateful for his life-saving grace, and soon presented the envelope that she had been writing for a long time to the foundation member with both hands, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Of course, it would be great if we could see each other again..."

Wow, so this is your purpose?

Yu Qiming quickly understood the girl's thoughts.

"Because you were saved from a desperate situation, you developed emotions you shouldn't have?"

Thinking of this, he sighed slowly.

"Lali, you have a long future ahead of you, why are you dwelling on him..."

Yu Qiming really wanted to say this, after all, they and she were not from the same world (physics).

Furthermore, the survival rate of a frontline MTF team member is generally not high, and the Nine-Tailed Fox team responsible for re-containment is even more so. They rush around from site to site and may lose their lives in the next containment breach...

But he still took the letter.

"I'll try... but I can't guarantee I'll find it."

Chapter 178 Some Little Things

After all, it's just helping someone find someone, which is not too much.

The only thing we need to worry about is whether this letter from another world will be confiscated by the Memetics Department and other detection departments...

Kalaly didn't know this, and she smiled with genuine gratitude.

"Thank you!"

"Don't worry about thanking me. I'm not really sure either."

Yu Qiming sighed. The Nine-Tailed Fox team had a large number of members, and their identity information was also confidential. Therefore, even if he could survive countless containment missions, the chances of him finding the other party would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But even though he said this, Lali was not disappointed.

"It's okay. I don't really expect to have the chance to see him again..."

She actually knew that as a civil servant, it would be difficult for her to survive.

Half a month ago, the civilian employees who died tragically in the Queen Bee incident were her supposed fate. However, she was lucky and the nine-tailed fox who happened to arrive saved her... But will she still be so lucky in the future?

Every day now is a new day for her, and that is why she wants to express her gratitude to the nine-tailed fox for being able to open her eyes every morning.

Even if...

'By the time he sees this letter, I will have died miserably.'

Lali felt a little lonely, but she soon regained her spirits after hearing the sudden shouts from behind her.

"Lali? Are you chatting with your friends?"

A security employee wearing scarlet scale armor walked in from the gate holding a set of documents. She quickly recognized the clerk from behind who had joined the training department at the same time as her.

"Um, Komini...what's up?"

Lali's expression was a little evasive, and her thin body stood in front of Yu Qiming, hoping that he could put the letter away.

She didn't want others to know about her unrealistic wish.

"Nothing, just came to see your senior Bai Yu, um...some small matters." Ke Mini saw the intentional concealment, but didn't say anything. "Do you know where the senior went?"

"My senior just went back to rest. He's been working late a lot these past few days. Our company should really give him a few days off..."

"Is that so?"

After hearing Lali's explanation, Komini's beautiful pupils dilated in surprise. She had never heard of these things from Bai Yu.

No wonder the senior hadn't informed them about heading to Terraria these past few days. It turned out that he had been silently shouldering so much responsibility alone...

"But why didn't you tell me?"

She suddenly felt a little sad. She had obviously tried very hard to be the support of her seniors. Even if she was a useless support, she could only share a little bit of the pressure.

"Is there something wrong? If it's important, I'll go wake up the senior for you?" Lali didn't notice the change in her friend's heart.

"No! Let's have a good rest, Senior!"

Komini shook her head anxiously.

"I can handle these things for you, senior!"

"Is that so?"

"it is true!"

Komini quickly comforted Lali. She already blamed herself for not being able to do anything for Bai Yu. Now, if she woke up Bai Yu who had just rested because of her own fault, she would really feel guilty...

"Ma'am, do you have any work to do with Minister Bai Yu?"

Yu Qiming, who had been watching their conversation for a long time, finally spoke out of curiosity.

"Who are you?" Komini had not yet received the news that Bai Yu had established a new department.

"Bai Yu is currently the director of the company's newly established Space Department," Yu Qiming said, showing off his fake employee ID. "Can you tell me more about it? Of course... if it involves confidential information, forget it."

"..."

Komini was silent for a moment, but she came out of her thought that her senior did not trust her and quickly explained.

"It's not really classified. It's G-01-12. Intelligence says we don't have many bodies left to maintain the Inverse Kabbalah Counter."

"G-01-12?"

Yu Qiming recognized that this was the number of SCP-049 in their foundation.

"Yes..." Komini sighed.

There have been no major containment breaches this week, and there are not many fresh corpses left in the branch to support SCP-049's human experiments.

And for some reason, even though the management manual states that the corpses of other creatures can be used as substitutes, in fact, since the containment of G-08-45 was handed over to SCP-049, the reverse Kabbalah counter has continued to drop when providing corpses of other species...

After providing supplies for today and tomorrow, if they don't want to sacrifice some clerical staff or employees, they will probably have to go to Lane 23 to purchase some.

"Hmm....Can I go check on G-01-12?"

“That’s no problem…”

Employees in Lobotomy Corporation are quite free to act, but if they encounter an abnormality that breaks through containment, they will die quickly.

After hearing Komini's affirmative answer, Yu Qiming also spoke to the leading agent.

"Captain, let's go out and test the EVE particle concentration around here."

This is a rare testing opportunity. The equipment this lady is wearing is likely to be the same equipment as the webmaster, called EGO. Judging from the webmaster's performance, the lady's combat effectiveness should also be strong.

And the stationmaster didn't warn them that they could only stay in the lounge...

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

Inside G-01-12's containment room.

The doctor is still working hard to perform surgery on the patient.

It traveled around the European continent for many years, and the alchemical materials it obtained finally came in handy.

21ml mercury melt, 12ml bat blood...

These solutions of different colors once again flowed through the catheter into the body controlled by the cell brain, and the moment this carefully prepared liquid poured in, the black-purple flame began to burn again.

'Ah...it's still as beautiful as ever...'

049 looked at this energetic human being with great satisfaction.

It has always been curious about how a brain could take over control of every nerve in a corpse in an instant, and it is even more curious about why this thing can be completely immune to the effects of the plague.

Therefore, it never tires of dissecting or strengthening the corpses attached to dead cells.

And this time, the doctor's intuition told it that it would soon achieve a scientific breakthrough.

049 has been waiting for this moment!

Beneath the beaked mask, eyes as cold as dead wood stared intently at the transparent tube on the right that drained excess fluid. As the fluid was replaced again and again, a hint of red finally appeared...

Chapter 179 The End of Death

It seems that the research notes written in beautiful handwriting on parchment were not wasted...

And now, until the last drop of red fluid in the catheter stopped rolling in the metal tube, 049 calmly extracted the liquid.

Fingers wearing black gloves shook the conical flask and moved it in front of the bird-beak mask.

"This is...."

Looking at the blush in front of him, 049 whispered in a daze.

It had never actually seen this thing, but it knew very well that this was the substance that all alchemists in medieval Europe dreamed of - the philosopher's stone. This substance not only has the effect of curing diseases and making people immortal, but also has the ability to turn base metals into precious things like gold.

In order to end the plague, 049 and his medical friends have tried to extract this substance during the countless years of traveling and studying.

But this is ultimately just a legend among alchemists. They have not found a truly successful formula in countless ancient European books.

Countless experiments ended in failure. Unable to resist the plague, they were buried by 049 himself on the stinking black land.

"Orme (French), we will soon succeed, and humanity will be able to completely get rid of the plague..."

A feeling called 'nostalgia' came over the plague doctor after a long absence.

It recalled the days when it and other bird-beak doctors stayed up late into the night in the thatched hut to study various medical classics.

It seems... its existence is no longer just the mission given to it by the three great beings. For a long time, the deaths of colleagues and patients in the world have also increased the burden on its shoulders.

The last bird-beak doctor shook his head helplessly.

It is determined not to dwell on the past, and now it can only focus more energy on this small piece of 'Philosopher's Stone'.

Only by gazing carefully at this hint of crimson did 049 realize that it actually had quite a large dose in its hand.

This thing is the essence extracted from the connection between body and soul, immortality and death...

049 It can be seen that endless silk threads are flowing out and interweaving from the inside of the fluid, as if they are consciously condensing into the prototype of a cell in this conical flask.

“Squeak…”

The doctor heard the sound of a black stick rubbing against something else and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
