Chapter 8

Not long ago.

"Herta" Space Station, an insignificant cabin.

The piano music of "Canon" was soothing and elegant, and Kafka acted as the orchestra conductor, keeping the beat.

"Boom!"

The sudden explosion interrupted this leisure.

But she wasn't annoyed.

She just opened her wine-red eyes as usual.

With a hint of playfulness in her arrogance, and a hint of frivolity in her mockery.

Immediately after, a light screen unfolded in front of her.

It was a communication from Silver Wolf.

Only.

Even the light screen had an extra strange logo on it.

Kafka mocked herself:

"Perhaps I didn't come at the right time."

Silver Wolf:

"No, you came at exactly the right time."

"However, Kafka, I have to tell you some bad news."

Kafka frowned:

"Oh?"

"As an interstellar wanted criminal, what could be worse news?"

But the following news was truly explosive.

"A super-faction that never appeared in Elio's script is broadcasting to the entire universe."

"Their starship was just crashed into the space station by the Doomsday Beast."

"Some kind of curiosity transported in the starship has escaped containment, and I think the danger level of that curiosity is no lower than a Stellaron."

"By the way, that faction calls itself the Foundation, and that curiosity is called SCP-106 by them."

Kafka's red lips parted slightly, somewhat incredulous.

The development of events exceeded the script...

How is this possible?

The script written by Elio cannot be wrong.

Elio is the leader of the Stellaron Hunters, a person who can see destiny, choose the direction of destiny, and write scripts.

He calls himself a "slave to destiny."

Since following Elio, all their actions as Stellaron Hunters have been carried out precisely according to the script, and even if there were interference factors, they could be easily eliminated.

But why...

A faction capable of broadcasting to the entire universe is no longer a small character that can be ignored.

Either this faction's technological level is unparalleled in the universe, or it possesses extraordinary power that even Aeons find hard to reach.

Why didn't Elio see "it"?

Could there be some kind of Path power that can resist destiny?

Or, is there simply no need to care about this faction, and we should just act according to the script?

Kafka was somewhat puzzled.

Silver Wolf's voice continued.

"Another piece of bad news, Kafka."

"We don't have much time left to move freely."

"That thing called a containment item is moving toward the Curio Collection Room."

"I'm afraid it has the same goal as us."

"A Stellaron..." Kafka sighed; this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

She was in a bad mood.

"The mission today was already boring enough, just 'putting in' the target."

"Now there's another troublemaker."

……

A few minutes later, on the other side.

March 7th and Seeing Dan Heng were covering the evacuation of the personnel in the space station.

Just then, they received a very suspicious message.

【In the Curio Collection Room of the "Herta" Space Station, a girl in a coma is waiting for rescue.】

The message also included a photo.

In the photo, a quiet and cute-looking girl was lying on the ground, fast asleep.

Unfortunately.

The direction of 【SCP-106】's movement happened to be the Curio Collection Room of the "Herta" Space Station.

But out of the mentality of saving whoever they could, the two headed that way.

Along the way.

The closer they got to the area where 【SCP-106】 was located, the more March 7th and Seeing Dan Heng felt a fear originating from the depths of their souls.

Everywhere were fallen Voidrangers.

They were mixed with the corpses of the staff.

Although they weren't dead yet, their condition was no better than being dead.

Either they were missing arms or legs, with large holes corroded in their chests and abdomens.

Or their entire shells were shattered, revealing their nearly shriveled insides.

If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a scene from a horror movie.

March 7th was a bit scared now, and even her voice had a tremor.

"Although I should be happy to see them have bad luck, I can't be happy at all right now..."

Although they weren't Voidrangers, they had a similar humanoid shape.

This gave her a sense of illusory pain.

But what she and Seeing Dan Heng didn't expect at all was.

The two of them had already appeared in the live stream.

Just behind the next automatic door.

The Old Man was "standing" on the vertical wall in a posture that defied the laws of physics.

Just like a spider crawling on a web.

Ready to launch an attack at any time.

"Don't go over there, absolutely don't go over there! If you go over there, you won't come back!"

"Run, hurry up and run, don't go that way, run!"

"Why?! Why?! Why is there such a monster!! Why does the monster even know how to set an ambush? Is today our doomsday?"

"I understand now, death is the destination of all living things, and destruction is the truth of the world."
