Chapter 479

Her figure was graceful, and her face was full of bright smiles.

In this kind of occasion, if you don't intend to make big news, it's only suitable to do some small actions.

"Station Master Asta!"

Bai Xuan nodded slightly to show respect, March 7th and "Stelle" had no extra expressions, greeted them, and after talking for a few words, ran back to Bai Xuan's side.

Not long after, information about the spaceship entering the port came.

Following that, Screwllum would take the elevator into the space station.

Asta led the welcoming team toward the elevator exit, ready to welcome this big shot.

"Hehe—get ready!" she said.

With a crisp click, the elevator cabin stopped steadily, the mechanism operated, and the door blocking the elevator cabin from the space opened to both sides.

A seven-colored butterfly flew out first, and a mechanical gentleman in well-fitting clothes stood in the elevator cabin.

He wore a black top hat, a brown-based jacket, white-based trousers, and most of the decorations on his body were related to gears—perfectly matching most people's stereotypes of mechanical life.

As a robot, Screwllum's appearance could have been very casual, just like a player in a cutscene.

But he had a structure very similar to a human, a pair of lightbulb-like blue eyes, convex lines like a chin, and a circular structure that seemed to be ears.

Just no nose.

But this is not a problem.

Two-dimensional beautiful girls also rarely have noses.

"Assuming... 々｀..."

"Thought always precedes language."

Screwllum walked out slowly, and the butterfly landed slowly on his finger.

Asta spread her hands, bowed slightly, and saluted Screwllum.

Others followed suit, bowing in unison.

Only the "Astral Express" crew was so unique.

March 7th, "Stelle," and Dan Heng, seeing Bai Xuan waving at Screwllum with a smile, also waved to say hello.

"... then no words can define this joy."

"Nice to see you."

"Asta."

After the ritualistic question ended, Screwllum said slowly:

"Sorry, I arrived 4 minutes and 13 seconds earlier than the agreed time, I hope it won't cause you any trouble."

Asta:

"How could that be, Mr. Screwllum, welcome to the Herta space station."

Screwllum:

"No need to be so restrained, Asta, just use 'you'."

"'Herta' is a place where knowledge gathers, and here we praise the equality of thought."

"The collaboration of organic life is wonderful and efficient—the speed at which you rebuilt the space station far exceeds my deduction."

Asta smiled slightly:

"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Screwllum, do you need me to take you around for a visit? After the last summit, we launched several research projects based on silicon-based matrices."

After being pointed out that the address was inappropriate, Asta quickly changed the personal pronoun, and her tone was more natural and easygoing, completely losing the tension she had at the beginning.

Hearing this invitation, Screwllum nodded and replied:

"Emotionally, I gladly accept. But since I have an appointment with Herta first, please let these surprises wait for a while."

"Ms. Herta should be in her office, please go this way, I will lead the way for you."

Asta moved to the side, indicating that she would act as a guide.

"Hmm." Screwllum agreed happily, and then turned to look at the end of the welcoming crowd:

"Long time no see, Mr. Bai Xuan."

As he spoke, he took off his top hat, pressed it to his chest, and bowed slightly.

The air in the entire room seemed to freeze, and the staff present only felt a thunderous explosion in their brains.

Even Asta's thinking stagnated at that moment...

Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, rainbows, oceans, beaches, forests, stones, gravel, earth... Mother-born!

"Stelle" was not surprised, just took half a step back, protecting Bai Xuan in front of her.

March 7th turned to the side, looking up at Bai Xuan, her lips slightly parted.

Dan Heng stood expressionless with his arms crossed, trying to remain silent as much as possible.

"In your and my concepts, this time doesn't count as 'long', right?"

"Yes." Screwllum put his top hat back on, and no emotional fluctuations could be seen on his mechanical face.

Even if the FBI came, they would have to shout "Invincible."

"The one behind you is..."

"Guess!"

"Stelle" put her left hand on her hip, held her head high, and was full of spirit.

Bai Xuan, March 7th, Dan Heng, Asta, and everyone: "..."

Meanwhile, in the lonely and boundless universe.

On the huge light screen belonging to the Foundation, various colors were quietly fading away.

Fu Xuan stood beside the "Matrix of Prescience," enduring the pain from the third eye on her forehead, looking up and staring.

That screen standing in the sky, looking down at all living beings, was showing the file of Mobile Task Force Omega-7 "Pandora's Box" to all living beings in the universe.

【Mobile Task Force: Alpha-9 "The Last Hope"】

【Description: The rebirth of the Omega-7 project. A Mobile Task Force explicitly aimed at training humanoid anomalies and applying them in actual combat.】

【Status: In service.】

【Anomaly List:】

【"SCP-105", Iris, Safe-level anomaly】

【"SCP-2913", Eternal Profit, Safe-level anomaly】

【"SCP-2987", Never Compromise, Safe-level anomaly】

【"SCP-4051", Your Friendly Neighbor Keter, Keter-level anomaly】

【"SCP-4494", Fight for Justice, Archon-level anomaly】

Fu Xuan's eyes flowed, and her face was slightly shocked.

This expression flashed by and was well organized and restrained by her.

The entire squad actually had only one anomaly with a three-digit number.

Other anomalies, the smallest number, were also close to three thousand.

This just matches what the old man said before—more and more anomalies are appearing, the Foundation is exhausted, and the O5 Council feels desperate—it can match.

The viewers' reaction to this is not very big, after all, there are only anomaly numbers and names.

Only "Your Friendly Neighbor Keter" caused everyone to complain.

"... This doesn't look like a good neighbor no matter how you look at it, right? Ah? Keter? Who dares to be neighbors with this terrifying guy?"

"Hope his neighbor can sleep forever in the arms of the 'Abundance'! Aha!"

Fu Xuan silently filtered out irrelevant information in her heart and continued to look at the sky.

I saw the colors flowing, the text files hidden, and a color photo appeared.

Logically speaking, that is the group photo of all members of the Alpha-9 squad.

The problem is.

Five humanoid anomalies are listed in the file, and those that can be called people in the photo... only three.

In a pure white room, three people are standing, with a glowing screen placed next to them, and a hand standing with its index and middle fingers in front of the screen.

Now "there are five people, there are three prices."

This scene is a bit weird.

Rather than a group photo of Mobile Task Force Alpha-9, it is more like a still from a horror movie.

Among the three, one man and one woman, and a guy who is pitch black all over, unable to distinguish appearance and gender.
