Chapter 178

He first sighed, then took off the amulet and held it in his hand.

He didn't forget to deliberately change the angle a few times, letting the light of the gemstone shine through Sampo's eyes and into his heart.

"I was originally thinking that if you were willing to go down, I would give you this 'Lucky Charm'."

"Now it seems there's no need for that."

Hearing this, Sampo, who had intended to leave, paused in his tracks.

He looked at the "Lucky Charm."

How adorable the diamonds and gemstones on it were.

Sampo had to admit, he was tempted.

But it was absolutely not that his stance was wavering under the temptation of profit; it was just the spirit of exploring and conquering the unknown driving him.

However, this scene, in the eyes of others, was a completely different picture.

Herta Space Station.

"Hmm?"

Watching Dr. Bright's sleazy maneuver, Herta's expression was somewhat blank.

She only felt as if something was stuck in her throat—couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it down.

This guy, does he really deserve the title of "Doctor"?

Just a moment ago, Herta had thought Dr. Bright was some kind of noble and righteous character.

Someone who had sacrificed his life for research, for truth, and for reaching the ultimate end of the universe.

Even though his soul was imprisoned in SCP-963, even after hundreds of thousands of years, he still maintained a sincere heart.

But the result.

All these years he spent researching these SCPs, the ultimate purpose he came up with…

Was just to scam people and play pranks?

……

Xianzhou "Luo Fu."

"???"

Yanqing put down the long sword in his hand, standing in the courtyard, his head full of question marks.

Last night, a considerable portion of the Xianzhou population couldn't get a good night's sleep.

All because of an anomaly in the celestial phenomena.

The entire Divination Commission was urgently recalled to join Fu Xuan in checking the celestial charts and urgently divining good and bad fortune.

As the General of the Divine Strategy, Jing Yuan, who guards the region, couldn't even close his eyes.

As Jing Yuan's disciple, Yanqing could only accompany his master.

Thanks to this, he was able to watch the entire story from beginning to end.

He witnessed how Dr. Bright passed off SCP-963 as a "Lucky Charm" to lure the other party into SCP-087.

Dr. Bright's scheme was so loud that even the Xianzhou could hear it clearly.

Moreover, Dr. Bright's expression was serious and solemn, completely unable to show he was harboring bad intentions.

"Sigh… The General was right, the human heart is separated by skin."

Sighing, Yanqing continued to swing his long sword, no longer thinking about other matters.

……

At the same time, in the barrage, countless viewers exploded.

"?"

"What is he saying? 'Lucky Charm'?"

"Ah? What does Dr. Bright want to do?"

"No, doesn't he know that what he's holding is an SCP, not a damn 'Lucky Charm'? And it's a damn SCP that can directly erase consciousness!"

"Wait! Is Dr. Bright trying to kill Sampo directly? Or is he just playing with him?"

"I was feeling sorry for him at first, but now I suddenly find that the Foundation exiling him here was absolutely correct. This is simply an unkillable villain!"

"Has he become indifferent to life because he's died too many times? Although this man named Sampo doesn't look very reliable, he hasn't reached the point of being killed directly, right?"

Just as everyone was discussing, new content appeared on the screen.

【Things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation (309 items temporarily) — Seven items involving SCP-963】

【9. SCP-963 may not be used for entertainment or reproductive purposes.】

【30. SCP-963 is not a fun buzzer.】

【35. Dr. Bright is not allowed to use SCP-963 on any important political figures. Reiteration.】

【116. Dr. Bright is not allowed to play "Hot Potato" with SCP-963.】

【153. SCP-963 is not a "Soul Gem." Although he might say so, signing a contract with Dr. Bright will never make you a "Magical Girl." Even if he has a set of "Magical Girl equipment," it's still not allowed.】

【117. SCP-963 is not a "Millennium" item. ("Millennium" items: referring to the seven Millennium Items from Yu-Gi-Oh!)】

【231. SCP-963 may not be given to others as a "Lucky Charm."】

【Backup group 8(9)3(9)666】

Herta Space Station.

With the appearance of the new document, even Asta couldn't hold it together.

What kind of heinous things has this Dr. Bright done?

The list of prohibited items the Foundation has listed for him reaches 309?

Just for SCP-963, he developed seven items?

And every single one is very creative.

How did Dr. Bright manage to hang so many "medals of honor" on himself?

Thinking of this, Asta first turned her head away and coughed twice. Only after her smile subsided did she turn her face back.

This wasn't a time when she was alone; the family education she received since childhood, as well as various etiquette courses, kept telling her to suppress the surging laughter in her heart.

Moreover, Bai Xuan was right beside her.

Facing such a powerhouse, and an opposite sex she had some affection for, she didn't want to be rude.

But she failed.

"Pfft…"

After only a few seconds, Asta couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She had to lean on Bai Xuan, laughing for a short while before finally catching her breath.

"Ha…"

She was finally able to straighten her back, looking at Bai Xuan with an apologetic and somewhat embarrassed expression.

Soon, Asta tidied up her expression and said as if nothing had happened:

"Sorry, I made a fool of myself… *cough cough*, nothing happened."

"Hmm… This Dr. Bright, how should I describe him? He's somewhat different from ordinary people."

"Where were we just now? Right, those documents…"

Actually, you don't have to hold back your laughter. If March 7th were awake, she'd probably be laughing until her stomach hurt…

Bai Xuan handed the messy documents he had collected to Asta and stood quietly to the side, waiting for the next commission.

At the same time, he had to sigh that Asta, as the station master, really had a knack for it.

When she said she was entering work mode, she entered work mode without any hesitation.

And she didn't chat while working.

Thinking of this, Bai Xuan's gaze turned to the screen outside the firmament.

However, he still had to restrain Dr. Bright a little, so he wouldn't really go wild on Jarilo-VI. There were no security personnel from the headquarters there to wipe his butt at any time.

Thus, Bai Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness crossed the sea of stars in an instant.

At the same time, in the picture.

Sampo had already been moved by the price Dr. Bright offered.

Although.

He instinctively felt a hint of threat from the amulet and the abandoned building in front of him.

But he still had some confidence in his own strength.

However, this confidence vanished in the next moment.

In that instant, he felt the entire world stand still. *** **CHAPTER 180**
