Chapter 114

Dr. Gears, just like his name, is like a robot without emotions.

Facing the questions raised by the interviewer, he gave a long series of arguments, but the core meaning was similar to Dr. Clef:

"'Reckless' is a relative term. Looking back at this event, the collateral damage caused by Dr. Kondraki in executing a humanoid containment object that is almost immune to all damage was only at a low-to-medium level."

"So you think Dr. Kondraki's behavior is acceptable?"

"He achieved his intended goal. However, causing numerous casualties, several containment breaches, large-scale damage to Site-19, and a widespread lack of action plans are indeed serious negligence on the part of Dr. Kondraki during the operation."

Dr. Gears' answer was meticulous, logical, fair, and rigorous.

"Causing a large area of the base to be destroyed is already slightly beyond the definition of negligence."

The interviewer recalled the miserable state of the base and had to remind him, letting Dr. Gears understand how much trouble Dr. Kondraki had caused and what kind of losses the Foundation had suffered.

Dr. Gears retorted:

"...Sir, forgive me for being presumptuous, I think we are looking in the wrong direction."

"We assume Dr. Kondraki is a person who goes his own way, a reckless person who doesn't consider the consequences. However, this is a narrow and dangerous assumption."

This is a quite serious accusation.

Basically equivalent to saying that everything Dr. Kondraki showed was just a disguise over his true purpose.

The interviewer had to pull himself together:

"...What do you mean?"

"The human brain has a tendency to apply established thinking patterns to think about emergencies."

"I believe Dr. Kondraki used this execution operation as an opportunity, while using destructive pursuits and large-scale containment breaches to distract us."

"Astral Express."

The exploration team had left and was falling toward the surface of Jarilo-VI.

And Welt Yang stood by the train window, watching them off while nodding, casting an approving look at Dr. Gears.

Yes, people always like to preset a position for the other party first, and then use existing evidence to prove that the other party is indeed there.

Just like a classic joke—

[Physicists believe that all odd numbers other than 1 are prime numbers.]

[3 is a prime number, 5 is a prime number, 7 is a prime number, 9 is not a prime number... continue, 11 is a prime number, 13 is a prime number.]

[We look back at 9, it must be an experimental error.]

[We exclude this set of wrong data. So we get a great conclusion—all odd numbers other than 1 are prime numbers!]

This Dr. Gears, like him, is a quite rational existence.

No... maybe even better than him.

Sitting in the picture, rather than a person, it's more like a machine that is precise to the point of elegance.

Welt Yang even felt.

If the Aeon of "Erudition," "Nous," fell, Dr. Gears 3.0 could directly take charge of that Path.

In the picture.

What Dr. Gears explicitly stated was too shocking, which made the interviewer numb.

—Dr. Gears was clearly saying, "Dr. Kondraki has formulated a conspiracy sufficient to destroy the Foundation."

A big net!

An invisible big net!

Covering the entire Foundation.

From the Administrator to D-class personnel, no one was not calculated by Dr. Kondraki.

No one noticed!

Except for Dr. Gears!

"So you mean... the whole event was planned by him?"

The interviewer's voice was trembling.

Dr. Gears' tone didn't change at all, just like artificial intelligence.

No, artificial intelligence would imitate human tone and produce changes in rhythm.

"Not in the traditional sense. To use mathematics as an analogy, he started from the solution to the problem and derived the whole problem in reverse."

"...Several containment breaches, the evacuation of items, 'SCP-083' and its attack on base staff, all of these caused Site-19 to be in a dangerous state of weak defense."

"...This allowed him to achieve what I assume is his true purpose."

The interviewer had forgotten to breathe:

"...What is it?"

"Riding 'SCP-682'."

"?"

4K, still 4K to go... but it can't be counted as yesterday's anymore, turn to accounts payable.

The opinions in the comment section have been seen, and adjustments will be made later.

"Your name as one of the four doctors of the apocalypse, I recognize it! I, the administrator, would like to call you the strongest!"

When Dr. Gears said this with a straight face, the barrage, which was already lively because of Dr. Iceberg, suddenly exploded again.

"As one of the four doctors of the apocalypse, what is Dr. Kondraki's image in the hearts of his colleagues? Could it be that he is a clown? Even more shameless than the clown version of Dr. Bright?"

"Our Foundation doesn't keep idlers. The most basic requirement to become a Foundation legend is to ride 'SCP-682'."

"Don't mess around, the Foundation has no living legends."

"I, Dr. Kondraki, have a dream, and that is to become the Yakuza star of the Foundation!"

"You say Dr. Kondraki is so awesome, why doesn't he go and fight the administrator?"

"We've seen how Dr. Bright plays; Dr. Kondraki is about to show us. As for the remaining Dr. Clef and Dr. Gears, I want to know what kind of peerless stunts they can pull off."

Not only were the vast number of viewers unable to hold it together, but the corners of Welt Yang's mouth were also twitching non-stop.

Himeko, standing beside him, quietly imagined a scene:

Welt Yang riding a horse with a straight face, except he was riding a carousel in an amusement park.

And March 7th, "Stelle," Bai Bai Xuan, and Dan Heng were standing outside the carousel, clapping and recording.

Himeko raised her hand to cover her smile:

"The Foundation's doctors are all very interesting, one by one."

Welt Yang sighed:

"I can probably guess a thing or two about how many major problems the Foundation's daily management center will have because of the whims of these doctors."

"It's just..."

"Is what the Foundation is showing us right now really the truth about the Foundation?"

"Memetics, divinity, supreme divinity—these words that have appeared before, the Foundation has yet to show relevant content..."

"And why the Foundation has been silent in the universe for so long, not even interfering in the struggles of ancient beasts and Aeons..."

"How many more secrets are there in this?"

On the screen.

Dr. Gears was also politely asked to leave the room by interviewer 11.

Afterward, the screen switched again.

It was no longer an interview shot, but a surveillance perspective.

On the screen was a room with a retro style.

Its overall color tone was reddish, with red walls, a red ceiling, and a red wooden floor. The red paint on various furniture looked like blood piled up and congealed on them.

It made one easily think of a western-style mansion called the "Scarlet Devil Mansion."

It's just that that mansion is prone to exploding.

The only light source in the room was red candles stuck in a skull-shaped lamp stand.

In the room, a white male around 20 years old sat on a wooden chair.

He had a pale complexion, black hair and brown eyes, a slender build, and was over 180 centimeters tall.
