Chapter 938

But in front of a Supreme Divinity that often transcends the universe and even transcends the "Tree of Knowledge," these abilities are negligible.

The audience was very puzzled.

And judging from the known situation, there is no supreme existence in the Foundation at this time whose status is equal to the "Black Moon."

And the worse situation is.

Whether it is the Administrator or the Foundation, the understanding of the "Black Moon" is limited to knowing that He is called "Black Moon," and will bring annihilation reactions to this world;

His power will be limited by observation, but He Himself cannot be observed.

Other information, don't know anything.

So, the question went around and returned to the starting point — what should the Administrator do to defeat the "Black Moon"?

Prepare a ritual for this, and let the Administrator ascend to a Supreme Divinity?

Or let the "Black Moon" fall into the mortal world?

Accompanied by questions, the audience continued to read the detailed content of "SCP-001-Key."

【Project Description:】

【"SCP-001-Key" is a series of inanimate objects that have been artificially associated with "SCP-001" through the application of conceptual engineering.】

【The specific performance of each "SCP-001-Key" individual varies, but successful "SCP-001-Key" individuals share the following consistent characteristics:】

【1. Cannot act under direct observation;】

【2. Hostile to conscious life;】

【3. If given the opportunity, has the ability to terminate conscious life.】

【The purpose of creating "SCP-001-Key" individuals is to hope to establish a conceptual connection with "SCP-001."】

【Making the observation of "SCP-001-Key" equivalent to observing "SCP-001," thereby preventing annihilation from occurring.】

【"SCP-001-Key-03" Observation Record】

A room encapsulated with reinforced concrete and special alloys, containing scientific research instruments far exceeding the world's average level, also locks the world's clever brains with absurd existences outside the world.

In the laboratory, high-definition cameras and sensors are all over every corner, ensuring that any anomaly can be detected and captured in time.

In the monitoring room, a group of researchers in white coats sit in front of the monitoring screens, their eyes like torches, staring at every change.

Operating in the laboratory are three D-class personnel.

They execute the researchers' instructions, using a pile of messy things that don't know what they are to create another inexplicable thing.

And now, they all have grave expressions.

Through the thick and sturdy explosion-proof glass, one can see the hot material inside slowly cooling down, cooling down one after another, and then slowly taking shape.

It seems... to be a black humanoid sculpture.

"How is the situation?" In the monitoring room, Dr. Moto pushed the door and entered.

His shiny bald head, the skin drooping on both sides of his cheeks, his hooked nose, and a pair of heavy glasses — if he were not in the Foundation, he would also be a full professor at some university.

"It hasn't completely set yet, sir," a young researcher explained.

Dr. Moto hugged his arms and waited patiently.

Resisting gods is undoubtedly crazy, whether this god is a god in classics or a demon that brings destruction.

What he is doing now is being a complete lunatic, leading a group of people who dare to defy gods, uniting around a big lunatic who wants to kill gods with his own hands.

This looks exactly like a product of nonsense.

If something looks like an apple, smells like an apple, and tastes like an apple, does it have to be an apple?

Certainly not necessarily.

But now, he is the madman who says "yes," and the answer must only be "yes."

Wanting to observe an existence that "cannot be observed," following the rules is unsolvable, and sitting and waiting for the arrival of the Huazi is not as good as going to heaven to say it yourself.

Wanting to break the game requires a little bit of imagination.

For example, the current project being promoted, they are trying to grasp the "Black Moon" through imagery and analogy, and use its weaknesses to defeat it.

As for whether it can succeed...

It's better than doing nothing.

"Dr. Moto, 'Key-03' has taken shape."

The "Key-03" in the picture looks like an abstract doll.

Its height is about the same as an adult, its head is exceptionally smooth, its limbs gradually become thinner, and finally become a dot at the end.

"Okay," Dr. Moto nodded, turned to the side to look at the researcher, "start the test."

Thus, the researcher took the microphone and ordered the D-class personnel:

"Maintain observation, do not let your gaze leave 'Key-03';"

"Just in case, at least two of you three observe 'Key-03' at the same time, and the other can rest during this period;"

"The rotation time is one minute; if you want to blink during this period, please raise your hand to signal your companion."

The audience knows that this is to verify whether "Key-03" has the attribute of "cannot act under direct observation."

"This sounds... a bit like 173?"

"I suspect 173 was made by the Foundation itself... The three summaries for the 'Black Moon' perfectly match the characteristics of 'SCP-173'."

"One day, the Foundation successfully eliminated the 'Black Moon' and thought everything was fine, but the Foundation's creations broke through containment and triggered a new world apocalypse."

However, how will the Foundation verify the other two characteristics?

Hearing the order, the three D-class personnel raised their hands one after another, using their fingers to hold their eyelids open, fearing that if they blinked accidentally, they would die suddenly.

They maintained this posture, discussed the order of rotation, and soon reached a result.

Phew, it's not difficult to do this... Today's experiment content is quite simple, it looks like I can survive... D-0650 looked straight at the statue, thinking so in his heart.

If there is no accident, he only needs to maintain this posture until the end of the experiment.

He can also rub his eye sockets by the way, and tell jokes to the two "prison friends" to pass the time — as long as he doesn't move his gaze away or close his eyes.

For a time, the laboratory was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Time passed minute by minute, D-0650 felt his arms a bit sore, and just when he planned to rotate his arms a little to relax.

The light flickered, followed by sudden darkness.

In the darkness, a scream came immediately.

"Ah!"

D-0650 felt his heart stop, and a chill spread along his spine.

Calm, calm, don't panic, maybe the gaze in the darkness also counts as a gaze... maybe it was that guy who was afraid of the dark and shouted randomly... he kept warning himself, but also chose to shut his mouth to avoid exposing his position.

Listening to sound to identify position is too simple and too pediatric for containment objects.

Don't panic, it's okay... D-0650 warned himself over and over in his heart, but his legs didn't obey his orders, taking two steps back actively, as if this could keep him away from the threat.

His heartbeat was beating like a drum, and then he felt it — a smooth, hard thing appeared behind him, sticking to his back.

And that, coincidentally, was a spherical structure, corresponding to the hand part of "Key-03."

"Ah!!!!!!"

He fainted.

Just then, the laboratory lights returned, the closed door opened, and a pair of fully armed security personnel filed in, holding guns, vigilantly staring at "Key-03," which was no longer moving.

— "Key-03" stood in place, posing as if it were about to attack.

But it was limited to this.

"..."

Dr. Moto looked at "Key-03" on the screen, and the two D-class personnel who were scared to faint, and one who was scared to be limp, shook his head.

Then, he began to edit the file of "Key-03."

【Item Number: SCP-001-Key-03】
