Chapter 531

As soon as she saw the information provided by Dr. Bright, Lynx threw herself into it, as if facing a decisive exam.

She had always been very curious about what kind of organization the Foundation was and where its most special aspects lay, but these questions were not easy to ask, as they might touch upon the secrets of the Foundation.

And now, Dr. Bright had personally informed her of the existence of "SCP-C-2001" and provided some information.

It was as if, after watching the teacher's practical operation over and over again, she finally had the opportunity to practice it herself!

Lynx's personality was just like that, even when she left Belobog alone and entered the desolate ice field, it was the same.

She always read in history textbooks about how vast and colorful the world was before the Eternal Freeze.

However, when Lynx asked her teacher questions, wanting to know more specific details, the teacher would always look helpless, "Unfortunately, only in the depths of the snowfield..."

In geography class, Lynx could often hear the teacher describe a strange celestial phenomenon called "Aurora," imagining how mottled and unpredictable that band of light was.

However, when Lynx asked her teacher questions, wanting to know why she couldn't observe the aurora in the city, the teacher would always look helpless, "Unfortunately, only in the depths of the snowfield..."

So, she said goodbye to her family and embarked on the journey.

And the harvest of the journey was far richer than she had imagined.

Not only did she see the ruins of the city before the "Eternal Freeze," but she also witnessed the beautiful "Aurora" with her own eyes.

She even entered "SCP-C-2299" and learned from Dr. Bright about the not-yet-fully-explored "SCP 'Zero Seven Three'-C-2001."

The Foundation was indeed far more special than she had thought!

Before the outbreak of the "Eternal Freeze," they had already absorbed locals from the planet Jarilo-VI as staff, rather than being absolutely exclusionary.

Well, more importantly, that's not all...

Such a large-scale abnormal phenomenon, yet not a single bit of it has been passed down to later generations...

Could it be that shortly after the anomaly appeared, the Foundation deleted the memories of all those who knew?

To what extent does the Foundation control Jarilo-VI?!

Lynx subconsciously turned her head to look at Dr. Bright, only to find that the other party was still immersed in the "atmosphere of the banquet."

Facing the starry sky, Dr. Bright drank another glass of strong liquor before realizing that the young girl had finished reading the information.

He raised his hand and made a virtual grab at the light screen, which immediately collapsed into square light blocks and then disappeared.

"That's all the information I can tell you for now."

"As for what is actually in that fog—whether it's a trivial local 'Reality Restructuring' or a terrifying 'CK-class scenario', it remains unknown until further investigation."

"So, let's continue the banquet."

Looking at Dr. Bright's nonchalant appearance, Lynx couldn't help but laugh.

But thinking about it carefully, what Dr. Bright said was indeed correct.

She rushed back to Belobog, besides passing on the message and letting her family worry a little less, what else could she do?

What's more, the distance between that mountain range and Belobog was not close at all.

If it was a small-scale "Reality Restructuring," it wouldn't affect Belobog at all.

And if it was a doomsday-level "CK scenario," no amount of prevention or response would be effective.

Moreover, on the entire planet, only the Foundation had the ability to investigate and resolve this crisis.

As the person in charge of the Foundation on Jarilo-VI and the commander of the subsequent operation to contain "SCP-C-2001," Dr. Bright had no anxiety.

Perhaps she was just scared by her own imagination.

Lynx analyzed in her heart, soothing her restless heart.

Dr. Bright, while drinking, pointed out the young girl's thoughts:

"What's wrong, thinking about Belobog?"

The young girl nodded, confirming Dr. Bright's guess.

Dr. Bright didn't answer immediately, but casually added some charcoal to the fire.

In the forest at night, there were gusts of cool breeze, bringing a hint of coolness, and the aroma of food was also wafting.

Under the cherry blossom trees, the ghosts sang and danced, performing plays that had never been heard of, causing the ghosts to burst into cheers.

Dr. Bright looked at one of the places, where there were figures of D-class personnel and several staff members in white coats.

The play they co-arranged was—

"Dr. Bright tames 682 with a newspaper."

Bright took one look.

And knew that the inspiration came from "Things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation."

【Dr. Bright is not allowed to tell new employees that you can tame the "Indestructible Reptile" with a roll of newspaper and rub its belly.】

However, in this play, the one fooling people became the staff, and the one being fooled became Dr. Bright.

Watching a ghost hanging a string of broken stones around its neck to act as "SCP-963."

Dr. Bright immediately laughed and scolded:

"Damn, fuck!"

The corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently, the arc getting larger and larger, and finally he laughed heartily.

Even though in that play, he was the one who eventually died at the hands of 682, he felt unprecedented happiness.
