Chapter 507

Although the office was unremarkable.

But Sofia sat here, holding the phone between her cheek and shoulder, feeling that she had already seen the dawn.

"... That's how it is."

"This is too absurd." The voice on the other end of the phone said so.

Even though the other party expressed confusion about the list time and again, Sofia remained unhurried.

The reason was simple.

The person on the other end of the phone was named Charlotte, a useful tool person.

Today, she was once again included in her clutches, manipulated, and driven at will.

Uh, that might be a bit excessive.

After all, she wasn't some perverted doctor who would stuff "SCP-963" to a Foundation newcomer at every turn.

Sofia smiled:

"This is the content of the agreement."

"It's a parrot, right?!"

Sofia switched the phone to the other side, her tone gentle, explaining slowly:

"But it's on our list."

"It's a demonology expert, also a telekinetic and telepathic individual, and it has a few points of visible loyalty to the Foundation."

"—The last point is very important."

"In short, it's a perfect candidate."

This standard sounded a bit strange, but upon closer inspection, it was actually very reasonable.

The Foundation contains anomalies, which undoubtedly makes the vast majority of anomalies hold a wary heart toward the Foundation.

Among them, anomalies that can cooperate with the Foundation and have a heart of loyalty are even more of a minority among minorities.

For the vast majority of anomalies, not thinking all day about how to breach containment and kill all the doctors studying them is already considered very good.

Charlotte, who had dealt with anomalies for a very long time, naturally understood this.

She was silent for a few seconds, as if compromising:

"Even so..."

"This idea sounds crazy enough."

Sofia shrugged:

"Well, okay, welcome to the Foundation. How is Lucretia?"

Lucretia, that survivor of the underground gladiator arena.

Nowadays, she was also contained by the Foundation.

"Condition is good. We will transfer her to Theta in a few days. I'll see you then."

"Be careful, Charlotte."

"You too."

Sofia hung up the phone and sighed gently.

Looking at her appearance, she had no changes, no obvious fatigue, and her skin hadn't forgotten to be maintained.

But she was trapped in a quagmire of anxiety.

The formation of the Alpha-9 team was about to be completed.

In another week, she would have her own team.

Nothing to be anxious about... everything is proceeding according to plan...

She comforted herself, tidied up her clothes, and arrived at the containment sector not far away.

Here, there was a parrot.

But according to its habits, Sofia should introduce it like this:

Marquis-level demonic entity,

The omnipotent Phoenix,

Wandering in its birdcage in the body of a gray parrot.

A moment later, this great bird stopped and turned toward her.

What popped out of the bird's beak wasn't necessarily bird chirps, but could also be human speech.

"Phoenix" held its head high, its pitch-black bean eyes filled with wisdom.

"Sofia Light, age thirty-six, comes to knock on my door."

"A proposal is left here, but I know your goal."

But in short, what it said was bird talk.

Sofia had long known that this parrot had the power of mind-reading.

But facing an anomalous existence that could read minds in person still made her feel uneasy.

According to legend, in that distant land of fantasy, there was also an existence that could read minds.

Because it could read minds, it was feared by other anomalous existences.

Sofia had never liked telepaths much, so she also agreed.
