Chapter 199

The divinity and supreme divinity that had become known to everyone yesterday had to be registered, with nothing left out.

The diviners of the Divination Commission were almost all ordinary people; very few were able to glimpse the path of the extraordinary, let alone become Pathstriders.

Coupled with the fact that the entire commission had Actions Actions Taken a day off yesterday, all the work that should have been completed had become urgent matters to be processed.

The entire Divination Commission, from top to bottom, was busy as a beehive, working themselves to death.

Even Miss Miss Qingque, that "Celestial Jade" girl, was no exception.

She had been slacking off until now.

She never thought that she, a mere librarian, would one day be as busy as a dog.

Was there still justice?

Was there still law?

When she was complaining in her heart while stacking the "Celestial Jade Tiles" into a mountain, she was startled to find Fu Bai Xuan, the Master Diviner, watching her with a kind-hearted smile.

She realized.

There was.

There was both.

It wasn't until Master Diviner Fu's death stare moved away that she finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to envy the girl "Gaia."

Sigh... if only I could stay in a room carefree, playing cards when I want to play cards, and sleeping when I want to sleep... how nice that would be...

But then she thought again.

This was also impossible.

The girl "Gaia's" uncontrollable reality-warping power would eventually turn the "Celestial Jade Tiles" into raw materials.

Then wouldn't she have nothing to play with...

It's better to be a divinity...

Miss Miss Qingque thought to herself.

Just then, new text unfolded on the light screen that had just gone dark not long ago.

【Foundation's Top 100 Containment Files Revealed!】

【95th Place: SCP-239, the Witch Child】

【File Name: Incident 239】

The interval this time was not short.

It was as if the computer screen had just gone black and lit up in an instant.

"Ah? It's starting already? I just wanted to go to the bathroom and haven't had a chance to go yet... Now I have to take my phone with me."

"The guy in front, how did you know I was in the bathroom too?"

"The Foundation's speed of broadcasting films today is really fast."

Amidst their discussion, the content of the new file began to unfold.

【Object: Witch Child】

【Item Number: SCP-239】

【Identity: Reality Bender】

【Danger Level: Keter】

【Description: "SCP-239" is an 8-year-old girl whose eyes "flicker" with a grayish-green hue.】

Before the file could release more content, the amount of information in the first few lines was a bit explosive.

"This is an 8-year-old?!"

"An 8-year-old little girl?! Is the Foundation a bit insane?"

"Don't yell, this is a reality bender. Isn't it normal for them to become an SCP? Do you hope that someone walking on the street is a nuclear weapon that could explode and destroy the world at any time?"

"An 8-year-old reality bender? Is this another second-generation god like the girl 'Gaia'?"

"The Foundation hasn't released much content about reality benders yet. There are acquired ones, hereditary ones, and naturally, there are innate ones. Maybe she has amazing bones and is a super powerhouse who can destroy the universe."

【"SCP-239" emits previously undiscovered radiation, which has been named ██—it seems harmless at low intensity, but decomposes matter at the subatomic level at high intensity.】

【"SCP-239" has the ability to do anything she expresses an intention to do.】

【As long as "SCP-239" is clear-headed, she can do whatever she really wants to do. Fortunately, she seems to only affect herself and things near her—"If she can see it, she can change it." In any case, testing how powerful she is would not be the wisest move.】

"I retract my previous statement. This child is too dangerous. A brat who does whatever she wants... I don't even know what she could turn the whole world into..."

"As far as my own childhood experience goes, burning down a few buildings, destroying a few schools, changing the world back and forth... I can't imagine how the Foundation contains her."

"Doing whatever she wants... this must be a Level 5 reality bender... After so many years, has she already become a divinity?"

【She seems to be able to create and influence living things. For example, when a D-class personnel accidentally hurt her, she just wanted him to disappear. Fortunately, when she felt guilty about her actions, she wanted him back. When she is awake, "SCP-239's" self-preservation instinct makes her nearly invincible. The subject's skin can only be pierced by "SCP-148."】

【As a way to control the subject's abilities, she has been told that she is a witch.】

【Besides making her mood better, this also makes her believe that she must recite a "spell" before using her abilities, which is provided and pre-approved by the Foundation. This will hopefully prevent any escape attempts. However, to avoid any subconscious thoughts of harming herself or others, the subject is kept sedated at all times.】

"Wait a minute... did I see a very ominous description, 'SCP-148'? Piercing? What is the Foundation planning to do?"

"Execution, probably. It's likely just like executing that poor vampire. Really, by comparison, although that vampire had no value, it wasn't very dangerous and could be Actions Actions Taken out so easily."

"She was told she is a witch... No wonder she is called the 'Witch Child'."

Next to the document was a photo of the girl.

She was a very cute girl, about eight years old, about one meter tall, petite and exquisite, wearing simple clothes.

She had shoulder-length blonde hair, and on her slightly chubby face, her eyes "flickered" with a grayish-green hue.

Among all the SCPs that have appeared in the Foundation, "SCP-239" is undoubtedly a star.

She is an angel who has descended into the world, a blooming flower, diluting people's fear of SCPs and their reverence and fear of divinity and supreme divinity.

"Wow, what a cute girl!"

Stars appeared in March 7th's pink eyes.

Setting aside the other party's identity as a reality bender, the "Witch Child" is really very cute.

If she has children in the future, it would be great if they could look this cute.

She looked at Bai Bai Xuan, who was walking out of the bathroom; there was a faint fragrance on him, probably from some kind of perfume.

As usual, the screen fell into a brief darkness again.

The transition ended, but the opening was a violent explosion.

The winter night was cold, snowflakes were falling, and the whole world looked like it had been pixelated.

In front of the hospital gate, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the asphalt road, and a snowplow was pushing the snow pile to open a path.

After this kind of opening, what follows is either not a warm scene or the beginning of some conspiracy.

But this is the Foundation's file.

There will only be SCPs later.

A loud noise broke the silence of the night, just like a jackhammer ringing upstairs at three in the morning.

The outer wall of the hospital building was as fragile as paper; with a light tear, it collapsed entirely.

Fireballs rushed out from the gap, expanding like cotton candy, instantly illuminating everything around and setting the night on fire.

The hospital building was teetering under the shockwave, tiles and broken glass splattered everywhere, rolling along with the snowflakes.

In an instant, the fire illuminated the skyline, and the hospital was left in a sea of flames.

But the cold snowflakes were unmoved, dancing in the sea of fire, as if accompanying the tragic movement of this disaster.

The audience didn't know if this had anything to do with the "Witch Child"; so far, they had only seen a big scene.

Some argued for the cute little girl, saying she was just a child and couldn't have caused such a terrifying disaster, nor did she have the motive to do so.

The other side said this stemmed from inherent evil, pure evil, with no reason or logic, just like the "Destruction" Aeon Nanook, who holds pure destruction.

Thus, the powder keg was ignited.

The flame war began.

But they were all to be disappointed; the Foundation did not reveal the answer immediately.

Because what followed was a news report.

In the wind and snow, a reporter was reporting:
