Foundation: Recruiting Anime Characters, Containing Supreme

But someone like Saiki Kusuo.

A superpowered being with so many abilities is another matter entirely.

Holmes hadn't expected it either.

The field agents recruited this time were surprisingly powerful, and his expression turned serious.

"Qi Mu, from now on during this containment, we're partners. I'm afraid you'll have to put in more effort. I have a feeling it's going to take a while."

Holmes said in a low voice with a serious expression.

This can be roughly judged based on his last shelter experience.

All conscripted agents.

They all have their own uses, otherwise they would never be recruited to this place.

"no problem."

Saiki Kusuo answered concisely.

Although he is afraid of trouble, he is definitely not someone who refuses to cooperate.

What's more, this is also related to my own life.

As they were talking.

Suddenly, the door in front of me opened and a middle-aged man in a white coat walked in.

He was wearing round-framed glasses and holding a notebook.

"I'm Dr. Montauk."

"He's the Foundation's expert on the Crimson King, primarily responsible for managing the project."

"You three should be the ones responsible for searching for information on the Crimson Sons."

Dr. Montauk said in a calm tone.

His voice was gentle.

But with unquestionable majesty.

"no problem."

Holmes agreed immediately.

He knew very well that the most important thing now was to obtain enough intelligence.

Understand your current situation.

"very good."

Dr. Montauk nodded in satisfaction.

"But before we investigate the Crimson Son, we have to deal with a containment object first."

"Processing the containment?"

Luo Ji narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

"Yes, SCP-2317."

Dr. Montauk snapped his fingers.

Soon, corresponding projections appeared on the surrounding white walls, marked with a series of information.

"It's a lie though."

"But I doubt...will become true."

SCP-2317 (Devourer of Worlds)

[It is a wooden door and its door frame]

Originally installed in the basement of a 19th-century Massachusetts brownstone

Once this door is opened

Anyone who passes through this door will be transported to another parallel reality.

[Exploration of alternate realities is limited, but the area directly accessible via SCP-2317 is a salt pan with a radius of several thousand meters.]

[Ten meters in front of SCP-2317, there are seven pillars standing in a circle with a diameter of ten meters.]

Each pillar is about 1 meter in diameter and 7 meters high, made of marble and engraved with many incomprehensible reliefs.

[The column extends 200 meters underground, into SCP-2317-H]

[SCP-2317-H is a spherical space with a diameter of 100 kilometers]

[Located underground directly below the column]

[Based on seismic analysis, ground-penetrating radar, and direct observation, the entity appears to be an extremely large, obese humanoid creature, with an estimated standing height exceeding 200 kilometers.]

Three horns protrude from its head, and its face has no lower jaw.

Its entire body is covered with countless overlapping scales.

Seven heavy hooks were embedded in the entity's back, each connected to the bottom of seven pillars at the top of the space by an iron cable.

[At the time of writing, six of the chains have been broken or damaged, with only one remaining intact.]

The message above.

This greatly shocked Holmes and the others, leaving them stunned.

Dr. Montauk was very pleased with this scene.

He pointed to the pictures on the wall.

"This is an ancient entity."

"Captured and imprisoned by occultists around 1894 BC."

“I don’t know their motive for doing this.”

"It has been confirmed that the breaking of the first four chains binding the Devourer was purely accidental. The group disintegrated on its own after several unsuccessful attempts to repair the damage."

"When it was first discovered, four of the seven chains were broken and three were intact."

"The breaking of the fifth chain directly led to an event in our world."

"When the sixth chain broke, this led to further events that ultimately resulted in the deaths of two million people."

Speaking of it.

Dr. Montauk suddenly left the question in suspense.

He asked with a chuckle.

"Guess what would happen if the seventh chain broke?"

"The world will probably end."

Holmes answered decisively.

The Devourer of Worlds and a series of performances were enough for him to make this judgment.

The voice just fell.

Dr. Montauk's mouth twitched.

Are the people sent by headquarters so smart these days? How did they guess it so quickly?

He could only cough lightly.

"Based on the information we have collected so far, this is indeed very likely to happen."

"The average time between chain failures is approximately 30 years. All attempts to repair or replace the chain have failed."

"All attempts to discover how these chains were made have so far been fruitless."

Hear this.

Luo Ji's face turned ugly.

Doesn’t this mean that this universe is bound to become like the Trisolarans’ home planet?

Sooner or later it will be destroyed.

Just like the end of the three-day sky, sooner or later there will be a day when everything will be destroyed.

"So...what does this have to do with the Crimson King and the Crimson Son?"

"And it's such an important matter."

"Isn't this already a crisis of survival for humanity, and even for the world?"

Holmes inquired calmly.

He always remained calm and only wanted to know about this Devourer of Worlds.

Connection to the Crimson King.

"Young man, don't be anxious."

Dr. Montauk waved his hand, causing the image on the wall to disappear, then turned his head and spoke seriously.

"then."

"We are searching for an alternative containment plan, but the chances of finding a way to prevent the Devourer from entering our universe are slim."

"Especially since the original material from which these chains were made, the bones and sinews of another Devourer entity, are no longer available."

"The main threat at the moment is despair or panic within the Foundation."

"To stabilize morale."

"We decided to falsify containment procedures."

Forgery?

Holmes and Luo Ji were stunned when they heard this, as if they had not expected this answer.

Only Saiki Kusuo listened silently.

Although he has the ability to listen to the voice of the heart, for some reason, it cannot work on the doctor in front of him. It must be that there is corresponding protection.

So I could only listen to him patiently.

"Yes."

"Falsified containment procedures."

Dr. Montauk sighed softly and silently displayed the information of another document on the wall.

This fake containment procedure

Achieve realism through the following methods:

[Add ritual magic elements]

【Incorporating elements of mainstream religious rituals】

[Adding elements of other supernatural organizations]

[Addition of other special containment procedures elements]

[Added description of nearby but unrelated paranormal entities, and enhanced information security for specific steps of the procedure]

[Appeals to conventional memes that high-energy nuclear weapons are effective in destroying anomalous entities]

[The procedure itself is essentially useless; its primary purpose is to alleviate the anxiety of the team members until a more permanent containment procedure is found.]

【at the same time】

Preparations are underway to ensure the survival of the human race after containment collapse.

[Currently only minimal additional resources are provided for this]

[It can be maintained until an effective method of repairing the chain is recovered or discovered]

Because records show a sequence of events that increases exponentially in lethality.

[It can be inferred that the breaking of the last chain will lead to an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario]

Please maintain the relevant measures until the end.
