Chapter 349

Disappeared...

He is not a real reality bender, and the source of his power is nothing more than a misunderstanding, a naive imagination.

"SCP-239" cannot create a divinity out of thin air, nor can she create another her.

This is the supreme realm, indescribable, unexplorable, and unapproachable.

Although he thinks he is a wizard, and even his memory has been confirmed to be correct, it is only based on "SCP-239's" fantasy.

"Report, the target stopped attacking, the reality anchor suppressed the target."

"Understood, kill directly."

"Yes."

Foundation researchers don't hate D-Class personnel, but this is not contradictory to wanting to execute him.

Experiments are always accompanied by sacrifice, and the objects sacrificed by the Foundation are a bit too sensitive.

Agents and security personnel pulled the trigger, emptied all the ammunition in the magazine, and shot at various parts of the wizard.

Bang bang bang...

His eyes were pulled out after bursting, his skull was lifted, his mandible was shattered...

He was bound to die, dead as dead could be.

And the doctors in the distance had gloomy faces.

"This little guy is really dangerous."

"Yes, a D-Class personnel, after being recognized as a wizard by 'SCP-239', really possessed the power of a wizard."

In the corner, Dr. Clef frowned:

"Her power is even more terrifying than I thought..."

"And... is the attitude of the entire site towards her a bit too gentle?"

"Holy shit?! What does Dr. Clef mean by this???"

"I didn't even notice that everyone in the entire site, except Dr. Clef, has almost infinite patience for 'SCP-239'."

"What? I thought it was just Dr. Clef having a prejudice against 'SCP-239'..."

"It's terrifying to think about. Has 'SCP-239' invisibly influenced the entire site's cognition and attitude towards her?"

"This is a reality bender, this is the power a reality bender should have!"

After another while, the time came to a cold winter night.

"SCP-239's" containment room should be kept at a constant temperature and humidity.

But at this moment, it started snowing in the room.

"The Witch Child" was curled up on the bed, with a sweet smile, watching the snowflakes flying, her eyes full of anticipation.

But outside the containment room, it was another scene.

Dr. Bright smashed the screen with a punch and scolded:

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Which bastard told 'SCP-239' about 'Santa Claus' and then only said it was a story?!"

"This son of a bitch made the world have one more anomaly, and we can't catch him, because this 'Santa Claus' really knows how to use magic!!!"

Before the words fell, he heard the sound of bells shaking outside the door.

"Jingle jingle~"

In the surveillance screen.

A group of reindeer were running in the site pulling a sleigh, and on the sleigh stood a fat old man with white eyebrows and a white beard.

He was wearing a red velvet suit with white wool trim, a shiny gold belt hanging on his chest, and a shiny yellow buckle tied to the belt.

In his hand, he was also holding a large bag full of gifts.

"Ho ho ho—Merry Christmas!"

He laughed loudly and shook the reins, so the whole sleigh disappeared suddenly and appeared in another area.

As for the agents, they were already too tired to move.

Looking at the white snow on the ground and the gifts sprinkled from the sky, they didn't want to chase anymore.

"I feel... a young child mastering this kind of power, but not knowing how to control it, is it a bit too dangerous?"

"But the Foundation obviously doesn't dare to tell her the essence of her power now. Before, making the D-Class personnel disappear out of thin air was terrifying enough. If... she wants to wipe out the entire site, won't the Foundation be heartbroken?"

"But if she were 10 or 20 years older, it would be much safer. The unreasonable, pure evil of a toddler is sometimes really creepy."

"Hehe, what a simple truth—are you willing to aim the muzzle at your forehead and let a child pull the trigger? Or think about what would happen if a child mastered the launch key for planet-destroying weapons."

"Holy crap, I don't dare to think about it."

In a somewhat dim room.

Clef sat in front of the computer, holding his shotgun, fiddling with it.

After a while, he put down the shotgun and typed on the keyboard with both hands, like playing the piano.

【My analysis of her situation leads to the following conclusion: "SCP-239" is an unacceptable containment and security risk.】

【Although there have been several proposals to use her to contain other anomalies, "SCP-953" and other examples must have harshly reminded us how great the risk of overestimating the Foundation's ability to control reality-altering anomalies is.】

As Clef continued to unfold his argument, a tragedy from the past was displayed on the screen.

【Anomaly: Polymorphic Humanoid】

【Item Number: SCP-953】

【Danger Level: Keter】

【Item Description: "SCP-953" is a female red fox weighing about 8 kg, with 9 tails around the 26th vertebra. It has multiple forms and can transform into various animal and human shapes】

【In addition to transformation ability, "SCP-953" also has a medium level of psionics—such as hypnosis and telepathy. Although not enough to deceive outside observers, a confused person will be deceived by the hallucinated environment.】

【"SCP-953" has used these methods in several incidents: deceiving police officers to investigate screaming in hotel rooms, making a mother grill and eat her own child, and systematically killing 27 people during ███.】

【Before being caught, "SCP-953" had already killed more than 20 staff members and participants, more than any other accident casualty on record.】

【Several corpses were found in various places in the hotel, including: inside mattresses, hanging inside shower curtains, stuffed inside furs and thrown in the "cooling" room, and made into main courses at hotel banquets. The surviving participants were released by the Foundation after Class-A amnestics.】

As the file appeared, several cruel pictures flashed back.

In the room, a corpse was stuffed into a mattress, lips pale, chest and abdomen opened, internal organs missing;

In the bathroom, an incomplete human body was hung in the shower curtain, blood spread along the water flow, staining the entire bathroom floor red;

And in the back kitchen, the kitchen knife was soaked in red, yellow fat was thrown on the cutting board at will, and some manicured nails were pulled out whole and thrown into the trash can...

Each one was like a scene in hell.

"Ugh... sure enough, not all anomalies can be judged by human logic... so disgusting..."

"No wonder Dr. Clef has such a big opinion on anomalies. This kind of crime, in any civilization, is dead as dead can be..."

"There will be no love without reason, and there will be no hate without reason. I hope 'SCP-239' will find trouble with this fox in the afterlife."

"I initially thought this would be a heartwarming existence like the fox-person lady, but later I found that she does like human hearts, but they are real human hearts."

【Therefore, I have the following proposal:】

【Use "SCP-148" to make a piercing tool, which should be able to pierce the skin that "SCP-239" could not pierce before. This tool is used to kill "SCP-239" when she is asleep and her abilities are neutralized.】

【Given the danger of "SCP-239" waking up and resisting execution, I suggest that the selected executor carry "SCP-668" at the same time to minimize complications.】

【One of the dangers of this measure is that 239 might wake up and think the executor is a friend or a "good person," and then forcibly change reality.】

【For this reason, I personally volunteer to carry out this measure. Reviewing my personal file should make it clear that my 【DATA EXPUNGED】 allows me to continue this operation after a reality shift occurs.】
