Chapter 943

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the room, followed by the sound of a lady's high heels stepping on the wooden floor.

"Who?"

The door was quiet for two seconds, and a person with a thick smoky voice replied:

"Police."

Police... The reporter's interview was interrupted, and he listened with the male host, waiting for the subsequent sound downstairs in silence.

After a door opened, that thick smoky voice sounded again:

"Madam, hello, this is our police officer ID, please cooperate with our work."

"We heard that a mysterious missing person event occurred on the beach, and we are looking for eyewitnesses. Can we take a little of your time?"

"Oh, of course, gentlemen, please come in, we were really scared to death."

After a sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor, there was a hurried sound of going upstairs.

Then, the doorknob of the study was twisted, the door was pushed open, and the hostess walked in quickly.

"Honey, a few police officers came, they said it was a 'mysterious missing person event'." The hostess came to her husband and hugged him.

"They would definitely say that."

The male host patted his wife gently, then shrugged at the reporter: "Sorry, I have to deal with new guests first."

"It's okay, maybe I can also ask the police for some extra details." The reporter smiled back.

Honestly, he didn't expect the official reaction to be so fast; it seemed that the previous riot had caused quite a bit of follow-up impact.

He put away his fountain pen and notebook and followed the couple to the living room.

Walking down the stairs, the reporter heard the happy laughter of the children.

Then, he saw four police officers in black uniforms and white "helmets" sitting in the living room. They had young faces, capable figures, and bright eyes; they looked like elites.

The reporter had some doubts in his heart, and reflexively looked at the shoulder straps of several people, finding that several people were two V-shapes with a flower, belonging to the police sergeant level above the police officer.

Strange, is this matter so big... The reporter continued to observe calmly.

Several police officers were using candy and small cakes to bribe the children, listening to them tell what they saw on the beach.

Those stories were the same as what the male host said, almost no difference.

At this time, one of the youngest children suddenly pointed at the reporter:

"Look, he is that big brother."

The sudden identification made the reporter's body stiff, and his body instinctively prepared to run away.

But he suddenly realized that his interview this time had nothing non-compliant, and there was no contraband on him, nor any star photos taken secretly, so he could deal with the official calmly.

Thus, he took off the duck-tongue cap on his head and nodded to several police officers: "Hello."

The leader of several police officers was a man with light gray eyes. He stood up with several colleagues, walked to the reporter and the three, and said in a deep voice while examining:

"You don't need to be nervous, we are just here to ask for the details of the 'mysterious missing person event,' and we will leave after the inquiry is finished."

Next, the reporter and the family were invited to the living room to talk.

The atmosphere of the conversation could not be called serious, at least the reporter thought so.

He also felt that if all the police in Italy were like these police officers — humorous, gentlemanly, and having communication skills, they would be much better than those he dealt with on weekdays.

Time passed, the conversation was coming to an end, and another police officer asked the reporter to check all text content:

"... In order to avoid deviations and exaggerations in the content, leading to unnecessary panic."

The young reporter cooperated happily.

Just kidding, how to create a blast without adding oil and vinegar? Of course, this cannot be said in front of several police officers.

"... Okay, thank you for your cooperation, I hope your vacation will not be affected."

The police officer with the smoky voice stood up first, and then took out a latest camera from his waist bag.

So the taxpayers' money went to this place... The reporter complained silently.

Then, the police officer opened the lens cover and explained:

"Next, please look at the lens, we need to take a group photo for you for filing, this is the last step."

"Okay, okay," the male host nodded, looking at the two children starting to stack blocks in the restaurant, "Tommy, Rosanne, come here quickly, the uncles want to take a picture for you."

"Oh, okay~"

The reporter frowned, wondering when witness testimony didn't need to be signed, but changed to taking pictures of witnesses.

But seeing this family sitting together excitedly, he was embarrassed to question, so he had to find a place to squat down.

"Okay, okay, look at the lens, I count 3 — 2 — 1!"

Snap!

With a loud explosion, the dazzling white light filled the reporter's consciousness, a little stinging, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head.

What's wrong with me... He shook his head, and saw a police officer who was somewhat familiar and somewhat strange looking at himself:

"Thank you for your cooperation, I hope this shark attack event will not cause panic."

Shark attack event... Ah, yes, shark attack event, I was interviewing eyewitnesses... The reporter nodded blankly and took the notebook.

"Okay, gentlemen, madam, and future gentlemen and ladies, I hope today's events didn't scare you."

The smoky-voiced police officer finally exhorted.

"Thank you, gentlemen," the male host nodded in salute.

"You're welcome."

The police officers exited the room one by one. The reporter stood at the door and saw a team of police officers on the opposite side about to leave.

Before the doubt could rise in his heart, the male host patted him on the shoulder, saying "Then let's continue," while closing the door casually.

Leaving the room, walking straight along the road in the garden, getting into the police car, the leading police officer raised his left hand and pressed the small device behind his ear:

"Team 18, memory modification completed."

As the voice fell, the screen fell into darkness.

Immediately after, a report appeared on the screen.

【Accident 001-Key-01】

【Record Time: 01/29/1993】

【Accident Description:】

【First observation of a double annihilation event triggered by "SCP-001," two tourists were spontaneously erased in Rome.】

【It was later confirmed that at the time of the event, all existing "SCP-001-Key" individuals were under observation.】

【A few hours after the news of the event, Dr. Moto left the following note in his office:】

【"We saw nothing."】

【"I am sorry, Administrator. I failed you, sir."】

【Dr. Moto's body was later found in the temporary containment room of an "SCP-001-Key" individual. Previously, he had used his project leadership authorization to enter it under the pretext of conducting critical research. The cause of death was confirmed as a broken neck.】

【The plan was suspended, and all remaining "SCP-001-Key" individuals were transferred to Site-19 in 1993.】

【After the cancellation of the "SCP-001-Key" plan, all remaining resources were allocated to building and launching experimental alien observation modules.】

"Sigh... sure enough, it failed."

"Dr. Moto's failure can also be seen as the temporary curtain call of the forces following the Administrator within the Foundation... In the world of short-lived species, this is basically equivalent to political death, but fortunately, the Administrator is immortal."

"Living long is good; when the Overseer Council is all dead, the Administrator's era will come."

"Good era, coming!"
