Chapter 341

~7 min read 1,400 words

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

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

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

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

Even Qingque, the "Celestial Jade" girl, was no exception.

She had been slacking off until now.

She had never imagined that she, a mere librarian, would also have a day where she was busy as a dog.

Is there still justice?

Is there still law?

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

She understood.

There is.

There is everything.

Only when the Master Diviner's death stare moved away did she finally breathe a sigh of relief and begin 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...

But she thought again.

This was impossible.

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

Then wouldn't she be unable to play anything...

Being a divinity is better...

Qingque thought so.

Just then, on the light screen that had just gone dark, new text unfolded.

【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 didn't have time to go... Now I have to take my phone with me."

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

"The speed of the Foundation's film screening today is really fast."

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

【Anomaly: The Witch Child】

【Item Number: SCP-239】

【Identity: Reality Bender】

【Danger Level: Keter】

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

Before the file could release more content, the information in the first few lines was already 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 anomaly? 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 on 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 capable of destroying the universe."

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

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

【As long as "SCP-239" is of sound mind, 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 kind of mess she could make of the whole world..."

"Based on my own childhood experience, 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 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 by the Foundation and pre-approved. 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'? Pierced? What is the Foundation planning to do?"

"Execution, probably. Eight out of ten times, just like executing that poor vampire. Really, by comparison, although that vampire had no value, it wasn't very dangerous and could be taken out so easily."

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

Next to the document, there 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 little face, her eyes "flickered" with a gray-green hue.

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

She is an angel descended into the world, a blooming flower, diluting people's fear of anomalies 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 her 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 Xuan, who was walking out of the bathroom; he had a faint fragrance on him, probably from some kind of perfume.

As usual, the screen fell into darkness again for a short while.

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 clear a path.

After this kind of opening, if it's not a warm scene, it's the beginning of some conspiracy.

But this is a Foundation file.

There will only be anomalies later.

A loud bang broke the silence of the night, like a jackhammer sounding upstairs at three in the morning.

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

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

The hospital building was tottering 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 as a sea of fire.

But the cold snowflakes remained 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"; they had only seen the big scene so far.

Some were arguing for the cute little girl, saying she was just a child and could not have caused such a terrifying disaster, nor did she have the motive to do so.

The other side said this was evil stemming from nature, pure evil, without reason or logic, just like the Aeon of "Destruction," 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: ===== CHAPTER 343 =====
