Chapter 48: Orochimaru: You Are Wasting Heaven's Treasures

"Afterward, the individual assigned to handle that ruin discovered and picked up SCP-██ within the debris. That person immediately underwent a significant change."

""Interview Log:""

Immediately following this, a video image appeared upon the light screen.

In a place resembling a prison cell.

A person wearing a yellow vest with a ruby pendant hanging from their chest appeared within the light screen.

Looking at this person clad in the yellow vest.

Tsunade suddenly felt that this clothing possessed an inexplicably familiar sensation.

After pondering for a long time.

Tsunade finally remembered.

Previously, when containing the Red Sea object, those who risked their lives to enter the Red Sea vegetation seemed to be this very group wearing yellow vests.

Could it be that these people are the so-called Class-D personnel? Are they meant to be expended at will?

At this moment within the footage.

Doctor: Can you tell me your name?

Class-D Personnel: I am Jack Bright; you should know my name.

Doctor: I believe you are O5-Highly, working for us to offset your life sentence.

Class-D Personnel: Stop spouting nonsense; I cannot possibly be....

Just then, the Doctor stood up and removed SCP-██.

Almost simultaneously, the Class-D personnel member who had been full of life just moments ago suddenly fainted.

It was not until a moment later, when the Doctor gently patted his face, that he slowly regained consciousness.

Subsequently, looking at the bewildered Class-D personnel member, the Doctor opened his mouth and asked tentatively:

"Jack Bright?"

However, the Class-D personnel member who heard the Doctor's question merely stared blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.

At this point, the video clip terminated, and a large amount of text data reappeared on the light screen.

"Through extensive experimentation, it has been discovered that when any Hominoidea subject comes into direct contact with anomalous containment object SCP-██, the subject's consciousness is erased, and Dr. Bright's consciousness projects onto the subject."

"Dr. Bright's original memories are also transmitted between hosts."

Seeing this, Tsunade seemed to understand slightly.

Tsunade now also understood why this anomalous containment object was called 'Immortal'.

After all, when the necklace is hung upon another person, that Doctor's memories can endure forever.

For him, was this not immortality?

Moreover, unlike the Occupying Mask from before.

The Occupying Mask, after attaching itself to you, not only seizes your memories but also devours your flesh.

Whereas this 'Immortal' object, once removed from the host, allows the possessed individual to recover completely.

Akatsuki.

Observing the data within the light screen.

Obito gently rubbed his fingers while constantly muttering to himself.

"The Doctor's memories exist forever? If I were to get my hands on this 'Immortal' object, does it mean I could hang the necklace on an ordinary person?"

"Then, whether through threats or inducements, I could make that Doctor tell me the location of that anomalous containment facility's base and the methods for containing anomalies."

The more Obito thought about it, the more excited he became.

At this moment, Obito was already fantasizing about containing anomalous beings and then utilizing them to create a peaceful and beautiful world.

The data on the light screen updated once again.

"If the subject remains in contact with SCP-██ for thirty days, their brain functions will become a replica of the previous Dr. Bright."

"If SCP-██ is removed after this stage, the subject will become an independent copy retaining Jack Bright's consciousness."

"To avoid creating multiple instances of Dr. Bright, such entities must be executed to prevent Dr. Bright from colluding with himself."

"However, factual evidence proves such actions unnecessary, as Dr. Bright has completely devoted himself to the Foundation and its cause."

"Dr. Bright himself has conducted extensive experiments on anomalous containment object SCP-██, displaying a strong desire to be liberated from it."

"Dr. Bright speculates that he accidentally activated SCP-██'s power because he was murdered, rather than attempting suicide as the original creator intended."

"To date, Dr. Bright has attempted suicide [DATA EXPUNGED] times, yet none have been successful."

Looking at the data upon the light screen.

The excitement in Orochimaru's eyes could no longer be hidden.

One must remember that Orochimaru's defection from Konoha, and these long days hidden within the darkness since.

Were all for the sake of obtaining immortality and truly understanding the secrets of eternal life.

Yet, this Doctor clearly possessed the ability to render his consciousness immortal, achieving true eternal life.

And he had already done so.
