Chapter 756
Asta was very interested in this true zero-calorie feast.
To keep her figure, the young lady had always followed a strict diet, naturally isolated from all kinds of high-calorie foods, but now she had the opportunity to feast.
But just as she learned how to summon food and hadn't tasted much, she heard Bai Xuan ask:
"Asta, the file we're playing in a while is the 'Plague Doctor', right?"
"Yeah." Asta nodded, not thinking much of it.
But who knew, Bai Xuan's next sentence caused her original assumptions to fall through completely.
"That gentleman is actually quite warm-hearted," Bai Xuan adopted a nostalgic tone, looking up at the sky, recalling while speaking.
"Since it's 'SCP-049' 'Plague Doctor', the core of his file is the 'Pestilence'."
"Alright, I'll spoil it up to here; saying more will easily make people hate me."
What's going on?
"Little Bai, you... know the 'Plague Doctor'?" Asta turned her head stiffly; she seemed to have inadvertently learned some incredible news.
The whole galaxy knew.
Since the Foundation had had in-depth exchanges with Jarilo-VI a thousand years ago, someone must have had some contact with the Foundation.
Many forces were looking for these people, wanting to connect with the Foundation through them.
Asta had heard related gossip.
It was said that before the "Stellaron" fell on Jarilo-VI, it had borrowed a large sum of money from the Corporation to resist the "Legion" and the "Cold Wave".
After Jarilo-VI was lost, the Corporation thought the planet had perished, and the debt naturally vanished with the demise of the debtor.
Now, Jarilo-VI had reappeared and had even made contact with Dr. Bright, one of the four doctors of the Apocalypse.
Forces within the Corporation advocated for Jarilo-VI's high-level officials to connect them with Dr. Bright, on the condition of waiving all debts and providing free aid.
And now, Bai Xuan's words were shocking; his relationship with the Foundation seemed even more unusual.
Asta even forgot her frustration and the original purpose of inviting them to join the "Foundation Grand Game".
"I know him, but it's been a long time since we met; I hope he still recognizes me."
Bai Xuan smiled and casually pulled the photo of the "Plague Doctor" from the "SCP-049" file into mid-air.
So that March 7th and "Stelle" could understand this plague doctor in advance.
"He is a true doctor, his attainments in medicine far exceed the era; one could even say he has touched upon some taboos."
"... It's just, it's best not to let him treat patients, otherwise some bad things will happen."
"For example?" March 7th asked curiously.
"... You can think of it as him falling into a paranoid state, 'curing' patients in his unique way... as for what the patients will become... it will be quite shocking."
Bai Xuan weighed his words, trying to explain the special nature of the "Plague Doctor" without spoiling too much.
"Eh? Sounds quite interesting." March 7th's curiosity was piqued.
Listening to Bai Xuan's description, Asta frowned slightly.
"In other words, Little Bai, you've actually been very familiar with the 'Plague Doctor' for a long time," she thought thoughtfully.
"Then should we change to another file? Otherwise, it feels a bit unfair to you, Little Bai."
"No need," Bai Xuan shook his head, "After all, if I were to skip everything I'm familiar with, the remaining files would more or less be related to Supreme Divinity or the end of the world."
"For example, 'SCP-001 Proposal' 'Black Moon', 'SCP-2317' 'Devourer of Worlds', 'SCP-3000' 'Anantashesha', 'Scarlet King', 'Screaming Demon', and so on..."
"I can bet that for SCP files related to these, without knowing some inside information, it's impossible to achieve 100% unlocking."
Asta was numb.
She suddenly discovered that the young man in front of her was shrouded in thick fog, unable to see his true face, and difficult to understand his true identity.
Herta and Mr. Screwllum said he possessed powerful strength.
Previously, Asta only guessed Bai Xuan's Path, and from that, speculated which forces he might be associated with besides the "Astral Express".
It's just that she found nothing.
Now, she suddenly realized that the power system Bai Xuan belonged to was not the Path system, but the system corresponding to "Reality Theory", "Thaumaturgy Theory", and "Narrative Theory".
Bai Xuan's true identity was neither a Pathstrider nor an unnamed Emanator, but a Reality Bender.
As for divinity, that should be impossible.
If Bai Xuan were divine, his name should have already been hung in the Foundation's SCP files, let alone traveling the galaxy with the "Astral Express".
Thinking of this, she suddenly discovered that March 7th and "Stelle" had no reaction to this, turning a deaf ear.
"March, you don't seem surprised at all?"
"Oh, you mean Little Bai," March 7th raised her head, her mouth still moving.
"When I first found out, I was quite surprised too; after all, the Foundation is such a mysterious and unpredictable force, and having one's lover be so closely connected to the Foundation is a bit beyond imagination."
"But, after thinking about it later, I found it didn't seem like anything; the Foundation didn't actively disturb our lives..."
Speaking of this, March 7th didn't continue.
Later, Asta would also enter the time loop and experience the great harmony of life with them.
She would naturally know more content.
As for March 7th's remarks, if heard by Foundation personnel, they would only secretly complain.
Why would they bother the Administrator? It's not like the Overseer Council had irreconcilable conflicts, the end of the world had occurred, or some Supreme Divinity was trying to stir up trouble.
Since none of these things had happened, this universe was very peaceful.
Although on the surface, Aeons were stirring up trouble, everything was under the Foundation's control, so there was even less reason to disturb the Administrator.
"Hmm, hmm," Asta nodded, looking at Bai Xuan, "Since Little Bai doesn't mind, shall we just start the game?"
"Sure, it's also a good time to experience the feeling of containing an old friend." Bai Xuan smiled and immediately summoned the game interface.
In the 【Squad】 column, he changed his status to 【Ready】.
Hearing Bai Xuan's words, Asta's mouth twitched subconsciously.
Although she thought she had become desensitized to Bai Xuan's identity, hearing him call the "Plague Doctor" an old friend, such a weird way of addressing him, still couldn't help but give rise to some urge to complain.
March 7th and "Stelle" agreed with Bai Xuan that if they were to start researching the anomalous properties of the "Plague Doctor", Bai Xuan only needed to sit in the rear and not spoil anything.
A player who knew everyone's identity and script before the tabletop game started could deal a devastating blow to the experience of others in the game.
To this, Bai Xuan naturally had no objections.
"Foundation Grand Game", start!
【Foundation Administrator】
【Welcome back】
After two lines of text, the world in front of Bai Xuan changed abruptly.
The pure white space, the green lawn stretching to infinity, and colorful stripes streaked past one by one.
When the visual distortion effect ended, he was already in a bustling scene.
【After enabling Administrator permissions, you can freely edit level content, adjust SCP settings, enable free perspective, invincibility mode, one-hit kill mode, teleportation function, etc.】
【Y/N】
【Y】
Except for the teleportation function, Bai Xuan didn't intend to use other permissions.
After all, in the game, his strength was greatly weakened.
Even with Administrator permissions enabled, he couldn't possess power approximating Supreme Divinity as he did in reality.
At this moment, he looked around to observe the surrounding environment.
The sky was blue as if washed, and the sunlight was chopped up by the leaves and sprinkled on the ground.
On both sides of the street, trees provided shade, flowers swayed in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance.
The ordinary afternoon scenery made Bai Xuan intoxicated.
How long had he been traveling?
Bai Xuan couldn't remember clearly either, only knowing that it was a quite long period of time.
He knew everything in front of him was an illusion, just a virtual world simulated with data, but it gave him the feeling of returning to Earth.
"Let's walk around first; I don't know where March, 'Stelle', and Asta were born."
【Foundation Level 4 Agent, "Zhao Xiangji"】
【Welcome back】
"Wow, it's exactly the same as the real world!" March 7th looked around, her eyes full of curiosity.
