Chapter 784

~7 min read 1,230 words

"No traces of biological activity around."

"Infrared and ultraviolet perspectives are both normal."

"Captain, the black humanoid entity mentioned in the report was not found."

"..."

The communication of the agents rang continuously, and messages came one after another, but did not contain any effective information.

——This is very bad.

What the black humanoid entity in the report is, what the law of action is, and what kind of weakness it has, they know nothing.

Thinking of this, the captain's footsteps paused slightly, and the look under the helmet also brought a touch of solemnity.

"All personnel prepare for battle, stay vigilant."

In the wind and snow, the task force members continued to move forward, simply cleared the snow, and came to the position where the front door should be.

But now, there is no door here, only an open door frame.

Warm breath blew out from it.

As far as the eye could see, the captain saw clean and tidy wooden floors in front of him, furniture arranged neatly inside, the fireplace burning fiercely, seemingly waiting for the owner to return.

The only thing that made the captain feel puzzled was the candles burning faintly, the flashlights turned on, the bright lanterns, the constantly lit mobile phone screens...

It's as if the owner of this house is quite afraid of the dark.

The captain did not relax his vigilance, set up his gun at the door, and an agent carefully entered, the muzzle sweeping across the room.

"Front is safe."

"Received, stay vigilant."

"Front is safe."

"Received, stay vigilant."

"..."

Just like this, the agents entered one after another, until the figure of the last person was also hidden in the thick shadow.

Suddenly, the inexplicably missing door seemed to condense from the void, appeared suddenly in a silent way, and closed slowly.

Like a pair of big hands pinching the throat, slightly exerting force, without making any sound, but enough for the audience to experience the suffocating feeling of despair.

Just then, outside the screen, a faint human voice came.

One person said:

"Mobile Task Force Chi-13 First Assault Team, offline, prepare to arrange for the Second Assault Team to enter."

"Mark the target as 'SCP-1983-1', and the level is tentatively set to Keter."

Another person said:

"Anomaly information has been updated."

The first person continued:

"Immediately arrange for Chi-13 Second Assault Team to enter, confirm the status of the First Assault Team."

"Received, Second Assault Team starts action."

This is not the first time the audience has seen casualties in the Foundation.

In the previous archives, in the fierce battle that took place on Jarilo-VI, and in various levels of the "Foundation Grand Game," agent casualties have appeared more or less.

But no matter which time, compared with the content of this archive, there is a considerable difference.

The Foundation's agents, even if they face abnormal existences that they cannot fight, will not be captured without a fight.

In the desperate situation, they will still try their best to fight with the other party, for survival, try to explore the other party's intelligence, or discover their weaknesses.

Without exception, they will make enough noise.

Even if they are killed in seconds by divine beings or supreme divine beings, the other party will also make enough movement.

Therefore, until the Foundation high-level announced that the task force was offline, no sound came from this farmhouse.

It just seems extremely strange.

It's as if... the agents left this world the moment they went in, or evaporated out of thin air.

"Damn it! Too damn it! 'SCP-1983' is not dangerous at all in the description, how can a group of agents disappear silently?! They went in with reality anchors! 々`!"

"Even if 1983-2 can kill an agent in seconds, the subsequent agents should be able to react, and then shoot? Why is there no movement at all?"

"When the front door appeared, the last agent went in at most a few steps away. Even if something happened, he could return in time and try to break the door... But he didn't, and there were no screams or gunshots inside. Everything is too quiet."

"Since it's so dangerous, why send people to die?"

"Hmm... how to say, sending people in for follow-up investigation is definitely normal, whether it is to see the status of the first team of agents, or to try to support and rescue, people have to go in... If the second team also has no news, then the Foundation will send D-class personnel in."

"Hey, aren't you looking at the appendix and pushing the thinking of the Foundation high-level?"

Asta still remembers the scene of "SCP-096" stumbling toward her, and even more remembers the gunshots that broke out after other agents in the site reacted during the process of welcoming death.

But those resistances did not appear in this anomaly archive.

Even the Foundation, in the archive of "SCP-1983," only gave a vague way to eliminate 1983-2.

This doesn't look like the Foundation's style at all.

Usually, the Foundation should try to contain the 1983-2 entity, squeeze all possible abnormal characteristics out of them, and only then consider how to eliminate and clean them up.

Instead of now, even the essence of 1983-2 is like an unsolved mystery.

"What exactly happened?"

"Salute to the dead... Salute to the dead... What is going on with this?"

Asta suddenly remembered the content in 【Appendix 3】 — D-14134 entered 1983-1 for investigation, and there was no new appendix content afterward.

Perhaps, the "dead" in the entire archive is this D-class personnel.

But new questions followed.

Why salute him?

Did the "dead" solve the mystery of "SCP-1983"?

Or did the "dead" completely destroy "SCP-1983"? Let its level change directly from Keter to Neutralized.

Not long after, another team of fully armed agents hurried over.

"Command, this is the Second Assault Team."

"We heard it. Confirm that all agents have gathered."

"Confirmed."

"Very good. Prepare for action, stay vigilant, there is a very dangerous anomaly inside, and we know nothing about it."

"Understood, action."

The agents did not delay at all, nor did they have any fear, and immediately went to the front door of the farmhouse.

Just as an agent placed a bomb, preparing to blow open the front door and start the rescue mission.

His partner pulled the handle and opened the door just like that.

"Alert!"

All agents raised their guns at the same time, aiming at the slowly rotating door and the space behind it.

But...

Nothing appeared.

The fire in the fireplace was still leaping, there was no smell of blood in the air, no smell of gunpowder, no blood on the ground, and no traces of fighting.

However, there were quite a few footprints on the floor, overlapping each other.

Moreover, the orientation of these footprints not only had inward ones, but also outward ones, stopping in front of the door.

So, the question is.

Where is the first team?

Damn it... the second team captain narrowed his eyes, raised his gun and shot two shots at the wall.

"Bang! Bang!"

The gunshot echoed, and the wooden wall instantly had two round bullet holes.

There was still only the sound of firewood burning in the room.

There was no black humanoid entity, but there were no agents either.

"Command, can you see the situation just now?"
