Chapter 103

Thus, Fernand restrained that terrifying smile and turned to care about Dr. Bright:

“My dear Prime Minister, I wonder how your sister and brother are doing now?”

Dr. Bright put down the wine glass and signaled the maid to add another glass for him:

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My sister and brother are still receiving treatment overseas, and their condition has not improved.”

Dr. Bright’s tone was normal, but Sampo still noticed that his eyes were slightly dim.

Just as the audience’s curiosity was aroused, strings of text slowly appeared on the screen, explaining.

[Bright’s younger brother is SCP-590, the youngest sister is SCP-321, the eldest sister is a member of the Serpent’s Hand and once stabbed him, the father is a retired O5-12, the mother is a defecting O5-2, and other members are all related to the Foundation and major peer organizations (GOI) to varying degrees. In short, it is a powerful and disaster-ridden family.]

……

When this file appeared.

Everyone truly realized Dr. Bright’s extraordinariness, and why the Administrator and the entire Foundation’s top management would tolerate his somewhat mischievous personality.

“No wonder Dr. Bright dares to tease the O5 Council; it turns out his parents are both O5 members.”

“Younger brother and sister became SCPs… this is also a bit too miserable. Moreover, Dr. Bright’s family is full of strange people; it can be said that everyone walks in the shadows of the world.”

“The eldest sister is a member of the Serpent’s Hand and stabbed him… what is the Serpent’s Hand? Why would a sister stab her brother?”

Even Dan Heng, looking at this passage, felt his sealed memories begin to surge.

His expression was somewhat low, as if he saw the destiny chasing him, which he couldn’t escape no matter how he hid.

For all this, he could only bear it silently, and the sentence was—

Forever.

……

At the same time, the previous file disappeared, and a new file appeared.

[SCP: Son of Man]

[Item Number: SCP-321]

[Danger Level: Safe]

[Item Description: SCP-321 is a human female, born on July 4, 18██, currently 3.1 meters tall, weighing about 110 kg, with no melanin in her hair, eyes, and skin.]

[SCP-321 exhibits a low level of intelligence and has problems adapting to new situations.]

[SCP-321 is the stillborn child of Junior Researcher Adam and his wife, Medical Assistant Evelyn.]

[Junior Researcher Adam took it upon himself to attempt to resurrect his daughter by utilizing several SCPs, including SCP-590. This series of measures achieved results, but the results were Actions Actions Taken to the Foundation for custody and inspection. The item was subsequently granted an SCP number.]

[SCP-321 has a very low IQ. Daily activities are very difficult for it; teaching it to use tableware to eat and similar things can take months or even years. Although SCP-321 has fully developed vocal cords, it seems unable to learn language and cannot cry or make meaningless noises like a normal baby under 6 months old.]

0 . ...

[July 31, 18██: Request to remove SCP-321 from SCP status. -Junior Researcher Adam

Request denied. -O5-█]

[January 10, 18██: Request to remove SCP-321 from SCP status. -Personnel Director Adam

Request denied. -O5-█]

[May 3, 19██: We cannot research more from SCP-321, suggest we remove its SCP number. -Site-04 Site Director, Adam

Request denied. -O5-█]

[June 31, 19██: SCP-321 should have its number abolished and return to her family, effective immediately. -O5-12

Request denied. This is the last time, Adam. She is not, and has never been, your daughter. If you do this again, I will convene the Council and remove you. -O5-1]

……

[SCP: Suffering with You]

[Item Number: SCP-590]

[Danger Level: Safe]

[Item Description: SCP-590 appears to be a young male of about 16 years old.]

[The only benefit he gets from his power is obvious longevity, because since he came to the Foundation, he hasn’t aged.]

[SCP-590 exhibits as a normal teenager in all respects, but when in contact with any other person, he can heal all the injuries and diseases they suffer. This characteristic can act on both body and mind.]

[As a strange side effect, SCP-590 will transfer this injury to himself; he must bear all the pain and consequences.]

[For illustration: When treating physical wounds, SCP-590 not only feels the pain of the wound but also gains scars related to the location of the wound.]

[When treating cancer patients, tumors will appear in different parts of his body, usually along his arms or legs.]

[At ████, SCP-590 was bedridden due to cumulative damage and could not leave his room. At ████, SCP-590 already needed life support and could not even breathe on his own. Shortly after, he took a dose of SCP-500, which restored his health.]

[Due to ████, SCP-590 is forever at the psychological level of a three-year-old child.]

Obviously, there are many questions related to life, and perhaps the most common is: why are people born? Why do they die?

From this, some classic questions are derived.

For example, someone is immortal, yet life is worse than death.

So, should he continue to live, or die decisively?

And Dr. Bright’s brother and sister trigger the audience’s thinking in this direction.

Of course, what they discuss is far more than this.

“The younger brother is too miserable… not only used as an experiment by Foundation people but also used as an SCP by his own father.”

“Born as a human, yet unable to get the status of a human, treated as an object and a tool, then what is the meaning of their living? Better to end it yourself, die early and be reborn early.”

“Both children are tragedies. The sister who had already died was forcibly brought back to life. Hundreds of thousands of years passed, and she still couldn’t be called a human, and became an SCP researched by the Foundation; the younger brother is a human-shaped panacea, not only able to suffer for others but also able to transfer mental trauma… sigh.”

“This family is hard to evaluate. I can’t accept the father’s act of rescuing a stillborn baby. Is he happy if it’s really a life for a life? Or in his eyes, SCP-590 is just an SCP? Then why did he apply to abolish the number of SCP-321?”

“The name ‘Suffering with You’ is not very accurate; it should be called ‘Suffering for You,’ otherwise it is easy to cause misunderstanding, thinking that the pain is shared equally.”

“I don’t know what the medical level of the Foundation is now, and whether it can cure the two.”

“I don’t know what Dr. Bright’s mood will be when he sees his relatives become SCPs. Despair? Sadness? And he was explicitly forbidden from treating his younger brother as a human.”

“I hope that after the Administrator returns to the Foundation, he won’t let similar things happen again.”

……

Astral Express, Parlor Car.

The aroma of breakfast diffuses in the carriage, and the smells emitted by different foods weave into a sweet mist, capturing the taste buds of every crew member.

Right here.

March 7th and “Stelle” sit side by side, laughing and talking.

It’s impossible to tell that not long ago, there had been a very awkward moment between the two.

In fact, there was no real contradiction between them.

Long-term immersion by Bai Bai Xuan, March 7th also learned some new moves.

For example, on this matter, she reached an agreement with “Stelle.”

In short, twelve words—

“Shelve disputes, prohibit stealing a lead, joint development.”

So, the relationship between the two has gone a step further.

Picking up the bowl filled with soy milk, March 7th blew gently on the liquid surface, feeling the heat of the soy milk with the tip of her nose.

After confirming it several times, she slowly drank the soy milk.

It’s sweet, with no bitter taste.

While drinking, March 7th looked at the light screen outside the window.

Although she didn’t know who Bright was, the two children written into the Foundation’s files were indeed very pitiful.

The sister is like a vegetable, the brother became demented.

This is an unbearable blow and injury for any family.

March 7th dare not imagine.

If one day, the person written in the Foundation’s SCP file is someone she is familiar with.

How desperate, sad, and sorrowful she would be.

—Knowing every day that the other party is suffering, while she is powerless to do anything about it.

The same thing happens to Dr. Bright, and the situation is even worse.
