Chapter 717
But all the way down, except for the exploded Scranton reality anchors, there was no other situation.
As the height continued to decrease, the drone approached the bottom of the shaft, and the lens captured a vague humanoid.
So, the drone flew straight towards that figure.
It was a corpse, motionless.
He was wearing a white lab coat, sleeping there, his expression calm and peaceful, as if he had a beautiful dream.
The captain felt a sense of inexplicable heartache, something urging him to go down and see.
"Action! Action! Action!"
Pointing a few team members to stay outside the containment cell, telling them to inform the site supervisor of the Task Force's subsequent actions, and send a record to the O5 Council.
The captain then led the team to rappel down.
The reason for such action was naturally not that groundless impulse.
Since Site-118 and the main database had no information on 3999, they could only find some clues from this place that once contained 3999.
As the rope continued to go down, the captain saw the researcher who had died long ago.
"Foundation Level 3 Researcher, Taroran."
The captain read the content on the chest badge and found the corresponding record in Site-118's personnel list.
However, in the records, Researcher Taroran disappeared almost immediately after being assigned to Site-118.
Then, he cast his gaze to Taroran's side.
A mobile phone lay quietly on the ground, with a faint light flickering on the display screen.
The captain put on his gloves, picked up the phone, and chose to put it back the moment he saw the content inside.
Nothing else.
In the text of the phone, it clearly displayed:
"SCP-3999".
The screen froze at that string of simple characters, and the screen gradually went black.
Immediately after, the file of "SCP-3999" slowly emerged.
【SCP: I Am At the Center of Everything】
【Project Number: SCP-3999】
【Danger Class: Neutralized】
【Special Containment Procedures:】
【"SCP-3999" is contained in a Keter-class air-tight containment cell within Site-118.】
【Four armed guards were found to have been stationed outside the containment cell. The interior of the containment cell consists of a shaft one kilometer deep, covered with acid-resistant baffles.】
【Scranton reality anchors are installed every 30 meters on the wall, and they seem to have exploded violently.】
【Other materials about "SCP-3999" containment procedures are scarce.】
【Project Description:】
【Clearly, "SCP-3999" was once a Keter-class project, possibly some kind of entity, and it is currently unclear what other anomalous properties "SCP-3999" has.】
【The "SCP-3999" containment room was discovered during a routine inspection of all Keter-class containment areas in Site-118.】
【The Information Security Management Department (RAISA) has confirmed that there is no record of "SCP-3999" in the database.】
【All materials regarding "SCP-3999's" anomalous properties are inferred from the structure of the containment room and documents recovered from within it.】
【The four armed guards assigned to monitor "SCP-3999" have significant memory loss and cannot determine how they started being responsible for "SCP-3999".】
【The corpse of Level 3 Researcher Taroran was found at the bottom of the "SCP-3999" containment room; Researcher Taroran disappeared almost immediately after being assigned to Site-118.】
【A Foundation-standard mobile phone was found on him, containing a text suspected to be "SCP-3999's" containment procedures, but the text and content were full of errors, completely inconsistent with the 【EDITED】 language and format usually used by the Foundation.】
【From this, it can be basically determined that Researcher Taroran was assigned to be responsible for "SCP-3999", and "SCP-3999" has powerful reality-bending properties.】
【It broke through containment at a certain moment, causing a CK-class reality restructuring crisis or ZK-class reality end-of-the-world scenario, and was stopped and reversed by Researcher Taroran at the cost of his own life.】. ===== CHAPTER 719 =====
