Chapter 5

The handwriting gradually disappeared.

Replaced by a black-and-white image, somewhat blurry.

But it was still visible.

In a cramped, narrow space, there was a hunched figure with wrinkled skin and a strange physique.

When "he" turned around, it revealed highly decayed facial features, eyeballs with only whites, and torn skin on the chest and abdomen.

It was completely a rotting corpse!

Even from a common-sense perspective, it should have long since lost the ability to move.

Yet it could face the camera and reveal a "human-like" smile.

"F*ck! What the hell is this thing! I shouldn't have kept watching this Foundation live stream!"

"Top 100 countdown? Don't tell me there are ninety-nine more things this ugly; that would be too terrifying!"

"I understand the logic, but why is the 100th containment item an old man, and why is the number 106?"

Bai Xuan felt a weight on his body and opened his eyes to see March 7th shivering beside him.

……

The appearance of SCP-106 caused fear to spread throughout the universe.

Especially among humanoid races.

This thing looked too much like the image of a monster in horror stories.

Especially the kind that would eat a person for an appetizer at any moment!
