Chapter 143: Contained Object-009

The subtitles gradually disappeared.

Replacing it was an ice-sealed world.

Although it was daytime, there was no sunlight to be seen.

Covered in the sky, there were only thick clouds, which seemed to have been like this for thousands of years.

In the sky, the north wind was whistling, and snowflakes were drifting.

The earth was all white.

The trees were all bare, covered with hard ice, and piled with a layer of snow, with no green to be seen.

In this world full of ice and snow, there were abandoned wooden houses everywhere, and blue ice sculptures stood around them.

The ice sculptures presented human shapes, covered with blue ice from head to toe.

It looked like the owner here was frozen into an ice sculpture alive in front of the wooden house.

Chilling.

But right here, there was a strange area.

It was a pool of water, and the water inside was not frozen.

——But the water was red, bright red like blood.

"WC! Ice!"

"What about red ice? Why is there only a red pool?"

"Red ice melted and turned into a red pool? Is the Foundation trying to play a little joke on everyone?"

"Which planet is this? Is the place in the picture at the pole, or is it winter here?"

"Can't guess, the whole sky is covered by clouds, and it is impossible to estimate which star field this is through the stars."

"I feel that the danger level of 'Contained Object-009' and 'Contained Object-008' is not much different, it is possible that it is only harmful to civilizations under specific circumstances."

"..."

"Herta" Space Station, Master Control Cabin.

Not long after watching, March 7th rested her head on Bai Xuan's shoulder, and her voice was no longer as lively as before:

"Little Bai~ should we continue watching?"

In the picture, the whole world was quiet, and except for ice and snow, there was only a bright red pool of water in the field of vision.

It looked very strange at first, but once it was long, it would be tired and want to sleep.

Bai Xuan raised his left hand, using his hand as a comb, rubbing on the top of March 7th's head, making her show a comfortable expression.

Looking at her obedient appearance at this time, Bai Xuan was able to confirm.

March 7th was really tired at this time, but she was still looking forward to the subsequent development.

Just like lying on the bed, clearly sleepy, but still forcing herself to watch the game.

Thinking of this, Bai Xuan whispered in her ear:

"After reading the file, let's go back and rest."

"Wash up, tidy up, restore the state, and prepare to go to the next stop."

After speaking, he didn't forget to yawn.

It seemed to trigger a mysterious switch, and March 7th also yawned, tears rolling out of the corners of her eyes.

She covered her slightly open mouth with her left hand, her voice a bit mixed:

"Hmm, just listen to Little Bai."

Not long after, Asta and Arlan also yawned one after another.

Those who didn't know would think they were working overtime collectively.

Only one person in the room didn't feel sleepy, guess who?

"Stelle" looked at the four people who kept yawning, blinked, and scratched her gray hair:

What about me?

Why am I not sleepy?

The appearance of "Contained Object-009" did not attract widespread attention.

Its location is unknown.

It looks like just a small red pool of water.

Too ordinary, too harmless.

For most people, this kind of news is irrelevant.

It's not as good as brushing short videos, seeing which fisherman is carrying a thirty-pound fish, passing his home three times without entering, and getting lost for a day and a night;

Where the Lord Ravager appeared again, causing an entire galaxy to disappear;

Or where the interstellar highway was built, and an entire planet needs to be moved away.

Just when most people thought so.

The screen switched, and the detailed file appeared.

【Contained Object: Red Ice】

【Project Number: Contained Object-009】

【Danger Level: Euclid】

【Project Description: "Contained Object-009" is approximately ███ liters of material, and its appearance is similar to distilled water except for the obvious bright red.】

【Under standard atmospheric pressure, "Contained Object-009" is liquid in the temperature range of -100C to 0C, and solid at higher temperatures;】

【At temperatures below -100C, "Contained Object-009" boils and evaporates violently.】

【There is no conclusion on the investigation of the atomic structure of "Contained Object-009." The substance seems to be consistent with water molecules. Resident extra-dimensional physics expert Dr. █████ stated that SCP-009 may come from a universe with different physical laws】

【However, the most dangerous characteristic of "Contained Object-009" is its ability to pollute normal water. When in contact with any water-based solution, "Contained Object-009" will transfer its abnormal characteristics to other objects and organisms through an unknown mechanism.】

【Experiments show that it can assimilate ice, steam, tea, fruit juice, seawater, blood. The time it takes for this change process depends on the temperature and the chemical composition of the affected substance, and it is observed that it takes 3 minutes to ██ hours.】

With the appearance of the document.

Most people still think that this is just some abnormal red water.

Isn't it just hot ice, it's not a rare thing.

Many places hold ice sculpture art exhibitions, which use hot ice.

Only a small number of viewers feel more and more wrong the more they think about it.

It seems... as long as any unlucky guy encounters a little "Contained Object-009," he will end up in an extremely miserable ending.

But before they could continue to think and deduce, the screen gradually pulled away.

Let this snowfield appear in the audience's field of vision.

Jarilo-VI.

It was already bedtime, Clara held a screen, watching the Foundation's program with sleepiness.

However.

As more details of the planet's surface appeared on the screen, Svarog, this big guy, had a strange reaction.

Its red single eye seemed to start flickering, like a flame blown by an invisible wind. Besides that, it neither changed color suddenly nor went out, plain and ordinary, no different from usual.

But vaguely, Clara felt that Svarog's "emotions" had some strange throbbing.

It seemed to be related to the "Preservation" of the Underworld.

But she couldn't guess it, so she could only ask timidly:

"What happened? Mr. Svarog?"

Svarog's voice remained the same:

"Yes, Clara." ===== CHAPTER 145 =====
