[Ninety-seventh place: Containment Object-009, Red Ice!]

Dao Gui is finished... what does it mean that Fire Brother became an immortal at the end?

The subtitles gradually disappeared.

Replacing them was a world frozen in ice.

Although it was daytime, no sunlight could be seen.

Shrouded in the sky was only thick clouds, which seemed to have been like this for thousands of years.

In the sky, the north wind whistled, and snowflakes drifted.

The earth was vast and white.

The trees were all bare, covered with hard ice, and piled with a layer of snow, with no green to be seen.

In this world full of ice and snow, there were abandoned wooden houses everywhere, and blue ice sculptures stood around them.

The ice sculptures presented human shapes, covered with blue ice from head to toe.

It looked like the owner here had been frozen into an ice sculpture in front of the wooden house.

Chilling.

But right here, there was a strange area.

It was a pool of water, and the water inside was not frozen.

—But the water was red, bright red like blood.

"WC! Ice!"

"Where is the red ice? Why is there only a red pool?"

"The red ice melted and turned into a red pool? Is the Foundation trying to play a little joke on everyone?"

"Which planet is this? Is the place in the picture located at the pole, or is it winter here?"

"Can't guess, the whole sky is obscured by clouds, and it's impossible to estimate which star field this is through celestial phenomena."

"I feel that the danger level of 'Containment Object-009' and 'Containment Object-008' is not much different, it may only be harmful to civilizations under specific circumstances."

"..."

"Herta" space station, main control cabin.

After watching for a while, March 7th rested her head on Bai Bai Xuan's shoulder, her voice no longer as lively as before:

"Little Bai~ should we continue watching?"

In the picture, the whole world was quiet, and except for ice and snow, there was only a bright red pool of water in the field of vision.

It was very strange at first glance, but once it lasted for a long time, it would be tiring and make one want to sleep.

Bai Bai Xuan raised his left hand, using his hand as a comb, stroking the top of March 7th's head, making her show a comfortable expression.

Looking at her obedient appearance at this time, Bai Bai Xuan was able to confirm.

March 7th was really tired at this time, but she had high expectations for the subsequent development.

Just like lying on the bed, clearly sleepy, but still forcing herself to watch the game.

Thinking of this, Bai Bai Xuan whispered in her ear:

"After watching the file, we'll go back to rest."

"Wash up, tidy up, restore our state, and prepare to go to the next stop."

After speaking, he didn't forget to yawn.

Seeming to trigger a mysterious switch, March 7th also yawned, and tears rolled out of the corners of her eyes.

She covered her slightly open mouth with her left hand, her voice a little confused:

"Hmm, just listen to Little Bai."

Not long after, Asta and Arlan also yawned one after another.

Those who didn't know would think they were all working overtime.

Only one person in the room was not sleepy, guess who?

"Stelle" looked at the four people who were yawning constantly, blinked, and scratched her gray hair:

What about me?

Why am I not sleepy?

The appearance of "Containment Object-009" did not attract widespread attention.

Its location was unknown.

It looked like just a small red pool of water.

Too ordinary, too harmless.

For most people, this kind of news is irrelevant.

It's better to swipe short videos and see which fisherman has carried a thirty-pound fish again, passed his home three times without entering, and got lost for a day and a night;

Where the Lord Ravager appeared again, causing an entire galaxy to disappear;

Or where the interstellar highway was built, requiring an entire planet to be moved.

Just when most people thought so.

The screen switched, and a detailed file appeared.

[Containment Object: Red Ice]

[Project Number: Containment Object-009]

[Danger Level: Euclid]

[Project Description: "Containment Object-009" is approximately ███ liters of substance, similar in appearance to distilled water except for its obvious bright red color.]

[Under standard atmospheric pressure, "Containment Object-009" is liquid in the temperature range of -100C to 0C, and solid at higher temperatures;]

[At temperatures below -100C, "Containment Object-009" boils and evaporates violently.]

[There is no conclusion on the investigation of the atomic structure of "Containment Object-009." The substance appears to be consistent with water molecules. Resident extra-dimensional physics expert Dr. █████ stated that SCP-009 may come from a universe with different physical laws.]

[However, the most dangerous characteristic of "Containment Object-009" is its ability to contaminate normal water. When in contact with any water-based solution, "Containment Object-009" will transfer its anomalous characteristics to other objects and organisms through an unknown mechanism.]

[Experiments show that it can assimilate ice, steam, tea, fruit juice, seawater, and blood. The time it takes for this change to occur depends on the temperature and the chemical composition of the affected substance, and it has been observed to take from 3 minutes to ██ hours.]

With the appearance of the document.

Most people still thought it was just some abnormal red water.

Isn't it just hot ice, it's not a rare thing.

Many places hold ice sculpture art exhibitions using hot ice.

Only a small number of viewers felt more and more wrong as they pondered.

It seems... as long as any unlucky person encounters a little "Containment Object-009," they will end up with an extremely miserable ending.

But before they could continue to think and deduce, the screen gradually zoomed out.

Letting this snowfield appear in the audience's field of vision.

Jarilo-VI.

It was already bedtime, and Clara held a screen, watching the Foundation's program while fighting sleepiness.

However.

As more details of the planet's surface appeared on the screen, Svarog, the big guy, had an unusual reaction.

Its red single eye seemed to start flickering, like a flame blown by an invisible wind. Besides that, it neither changed color suddenly nor went out, plain and ordinary, no different from usual.

But vaguely, Clara felt that Svarog's "emotions" had a strange palpitation.

It seemed to be related to the "Preservation" of the Underworld.

But she couldn't guess it, and could only ask timidly:

"What happened? Mr. Svarog?"

Svarog's voice remained the same:

"Yes, Clara."
