Ascension journey - 310

“Again… welcome?”

For the thin middle-aged man in the white coat that suddenly appeared, and his obviously questionable words, Cheng Bin did not show any unexpected look on his face.

Because of being in it, Cheng Bin was a little concerned about the various changes in the subspace of Foundation Site 62. When he dropped the avatar into SCP-173’s cage, he noticed that the SCP Foundation was manipulating it. SCP-004 distorted this time and space.

To put it simply, the time and space where Cheng Bin and SCP-173 are located are separated and sunken, distorting the scale of time, making the time flow at the location of Cheng Bin’s incarnation much slower than the outside world.

SCP-004 in its original state can shred improperly used people, and the fragments are scattered to different spaces and times in the turbulent flow of time and space. It is not surprising that the scale of time and space can be adjusted after the Foundation’s targeted enhancement and transformation.

Seeing that the Foundation seized the time difference to deal with other various incidents of out-of-control containment, and did not show subsequent hostility, Cheng Bin did not care about this matter and continued to conduct his own SCP-173 observation experiment. .

As for the guy who looked like O5-2 “Dr. T”, he said his name directly… Cheng Bin was not even surprised.

After all, when he used the body to perform a bottom-up global scan before, he thoroughly checked all the existing records of the SCP Foundation, and he even read the SCP-X file about himself that was mentioned during the previous O5 Council meeting. Again.

It’s just that the deeper secrets of the SCP Foundation and the details of its own files and appendices are kept in the memories of O5 members whose real life forms and information complexity are quite unusual. Cheng Bin didn’t dig deep.

Anyway, before the crossing, the matching information given by the system contains quite a few interesting items in the SCP Foundation, what time trains, time machines, and the like. The members of the high-level O5 council of the SCP Foundation can cross the time axis and He met for the first time repeatedly, and Cheng Bin was not surprised.

Although theoretically speaking, one more dimension of attribute information is mastered on the quantum foam of the bottom unit of the universe, it can achieve a crushing effect on low-dimensional people in battle, not to mention the extremely important dimension of time. NS.

But Cheng Bin still didn’t feel any pressure.

For one thing, no matter the high-dimensional life you are currently in contact with, or the SCP Foundation’s organization with the help of anomalous containment objects, even the Grand Unified Field has not really gone deep, let alone the intuitive interference in the bottom unit of the universe.

Secondly…Although Cheng Bin’s main consciousness occupies only one point on the world line and time axis, he is not a real ordinary life. The volume of the high-dimensional information body behind him is not small, and he is not afraid of these things that do not know why. High-dimensional strikes.

…To be honest, if Cheng Bin himself is willing, with the current accumulation and the help of the inner domain, he can be promoted to a high-dimensional life not much worse than Hongjun in the world of vitality in the blink of an eye, and begin to move towards multiple world lines and timelines The upstream and downstream spread and grow, but this is not what he and the system want…

Back to the topic, judging from the behavior of merely sinking his avatar into the trough of time and space, it shows that even if the SCP Foundation can cross the timeline and the world line to make multiple contacts with him, it still hasn’t realized what his body is. What kind of form, what kind of level it exists, can be regarded as exposing many limitations of their strength at hand.

“O5-2, Dr. T, right?” Cheng Bin archived the analyzed and sorted SCP-173 data and saved it for later comparison and analysis with the data of other contained objects, then turned to look at the man in the white coat next to him, his gaze As if looking at something else through the man’s figure.

“Yes, I’m glad to see you in such a peaceful setting, Mr. Cheng Bin.”

Some subtle glances at SCP-173, which did not move at all, Dr. T knew that it was impossible for him to use “direct sightings” to restrict SCP-173’s movements with his projection, but Cheng Bin before him also turned his attention to him. , SCP-173 did not move as if it was still being stared at…

Although I have seen similar scenes in the past timeline…but at that time, the form was more urgent than it is now. Dr. T did not have the opportunity to ask the reason, so he asked curiously: “May I ask you what you did to 173? What? Have you cracked the anomaly on it?”

Cheng Bin glanced at the motionless reinforced concrete doll, and said casually: “It’s super defense and mobility related principles, I still need more research to compare, currently only slightly modified its recognition of’direct sighting’ The setting of related rules can be regarded as being in a state of direct witnessing forever, which is considered to be temporarily ineffective, do you have any opinions?”

Dr. T’s projection shrugged, and said briskly: “Of course not. Our Foundation’s mission includes the destruction of harmful containment objects. 173 This kind of containment objects that are malicious to life, it’s best to destroy them. Yes, in the past, we just didn’t find a proper way, we can only isolate it by time and space.”

“Oh?” After thinking for a while, Cheng Bin raised his index finger at SCP-173 out of thin air, and a pitch-black gap was suddenly torn out in midair. The space-time cliff that was enough to destroy all material structures split 173’s figure into pieces. But after the synchronization of time and space was restored, his figure reunited and connected with the calm time and space, and there was no trace of damage.

“Sure enough, isn’t it? Hmm… To some extent, SCP-173 at the material level is just a projection generated under the twisted rules. Attacks that do not involve its essence are meaningless,” Cheng Bin looked at Dr. T. , The tone is intriguing, “This kind of existence is very similar to Dr. T…

“If it weren’t for my ability to observe now that I couldn’t see the whole picture of you, my interest in your research would be far higher than that of other containment objects.”

Dr. T spread his hands helplessly: “This time I specifically went to O5-13 to help transform the body form, but I still can’t hide it from you?”

Dr. T here now is nothing more than an empty shell with ordinary human phenomena. He has five senses, can speak, and can eat, but these are just the assembly of countless human external phenomena that have been extracted. The body of…

With the help of O5-13, Dr. T has used multiple time-space-related containment objects to embed his consciousness into a mess of time. He is no longer a human being, but a monster wandering in chaotic time, manifesting in What Cheng Bin faced was just an incarnation maintained in accordance with specific rules.

In terms of morphology and structure, there are many similarities between the apostle life shell “gravitation monsters” that Dr. T and Cheng Bin have seen. Perhaps they should be called time monsters?

Cheng Bin was surprised at this behavior of forcibly jumping up with foreign objects: “You really dare to do it. To some extent, you can be regarded as a pseudo-high-dimensional life, right? It’s just a step of consciousness crossing the world line. In the past, first realize consciousness across the time axis…

“Even so, your ontology can only be used as a server, right? The real main consciousness exists in the projection avatar instead. Isn’t this equivalent to driving yourself crazy and squeezing out a new self by default… ”

Speaking of it, the current Dr. T’s use of time interference ability is the same process as Cheng Bin’s intervention power to call the high-dimensional information body. His consciousness can’t exist at multiple time points at the same time, but this is avoided. The potential risk of destroying consciousness by the timeline shock caused by itself.

Anyway, according to the standards of the Foundation, Dr. T himself is already a containment object in essence.

“There is no way…” Dr. T, who was seen through the essence of the face, sighed faintly, “Human abilities have limits…

“We have learned one thing from countless lessons. The more we use the concept of ordinary people to touch the containment, the more we will find that the abilities of human beings are limited…unless human beings are surpassed.”

“So,” Cheng Bin blinked weirdly, “Are you going to be human?”

“…There are too many containment objects that are malicious to humans, so starting from the fourth level of the Foundation’s authority, relevant personnel can reasonably use the containment objects to reform and strengthen themselves to deal with unknown dangers, but after all, the containment objects are some. It is difficult to understand the essential existence. This transformation is accompanied by great risks. There have been many accidents in the past.”

Dr. T shook his head and then continued: “Starting from a certain timeline without any records, the Foundation requires all O5 members with the highest authority to get rid of their ordinary human status to deal with the increasingly severe situation. ..

“In fact, it is precisely by using more and more exaggerated use of containment materials to strengthen ourselves that we truly defeated vicious containment organizations such as the Chaos Insurgency and solved the crisis of countless world destruction…”

Dr. T looked at Cheng Bin and said slowly and solemnly: “…and you this time.”

Cheng Bin blinked and his expression was quite innocent-he could more or less guess what the Foundation’s SCP-X file contains, the judgments and comments about “world-class destruction and creativity” came from…

“Mr. Cheng Bin, the big impact event called SCP-X-3 caused by your coming into this world has affected a large number of containment items and caused numerous destruction and out-of-control events… Fortunately, there have been several events. After experience, we finally managed to handle it in this timeline.”

The big impact of SCP-X-3? Cheng Bin thought for a while, this should be caused by breaking the underlying rules and twisting the net like bursting a bubble when he first entered the world.

Casting a complicated look at Cheng Bin, Dr. T sighed, “However, these are not the most troublesome things…In the X-1 timeline, you have been in direct contact with SCP-343’God’ after entering the world. Without being able to observe the specific process, the world will be destroyed at once by’BOOM——’…”

Two hands clenched fists together and opened five fingers apart to make an exploding gesture, Dr. T took a deep breath and continued to say backwards:

“Although you reset the world with your backhand, this is not an acceptable ending, so I went back to the point in time before you arrived and started to try to make changes… Fortunately, the memory and consciousness of that God have the same The ability to cross the timeline avoids contact with you in the later timeline, giving us small humans a chance to breathe.”

Looking at Cheng Bin solemnly, Dr. T came up with a document out of thin air and handed it to him: “Our foundation has no conflicts or contradictions with you, so I came here just to show the foundation’s cooperation with you. Attitude, and I would like to remind you in particular, which containment research will cause consequences that no one wants to see. In addition… here are some of your research results in the past timeline.”

Dr. T, who handed out the information, paused, and stopped the following words-there are some things that are not suitable for Cheng Bin to mention now, you have to look at the situation, and if you are unlucky, you can’t say that you have to start again…

Glancing at the thick file bag at hand, Cheng Bin read its contents without opening it. After the file was automatically blurred and disappeared, Cheng Bin nodded to Dr. T and said, “This saved me a lot of effort, thank you… But after all, the experimental data is only reliable if I collect it by myself, but I will pay attention to the research methods later…Then what do you want from me?”

Dr. T, who has a certain understanding of Cheng Bin’s character, was not polite. He said directly: “Help our Foundation to deal with some very difficult containment items, or control or destroy… If in the process, you are willing to teach us Some knowledge about these anomalies would be even better.”

“The former is okay, the latter…” Cheng Bin said after hesitating, “It’s okay to help you analyze the level of how the containment works. As for the specific knowledge…wait for me to figure out what is behind your series of worlds. Let’s talk about the situation.”

After taking a closer look at Postdoctor T, Cheng Bin moved his hands and feet at the bottom of the world, imitating some of the characteristics of the contained objects that had been studied, creating a special rule setting based on the information format, and then implanting the characteristics of this thing. Dr. T is projected into the perceptual memory of the avatar.

Facing Dr. T who unconsciously covered his forehead, Cheng Bin said: “The information stored in this format, no matter the carrier is paper, electromagnetic waves, or space-time shocks, will be recognized and transmitted to me synchronously regardless of the environment. What’s the use of this? Just contact me and I will help depending on the situation.”

After a pause, Cheng Bin sighed with emotion: “I still can’t make this kind of conceptual containment object intelligent and popularized, otherwise it can switch communication objects and implant information into any form of life. It’s just fine…the work of cracking the containment item can’t be stopped.”

Cheng Bin already has a vague idea about the working principle of the special rules behind SCP-173, but more comparative experiments are needed to reach a conclusion.

——So, first go to the documents given by Dr. T. In the previous timeline, take a look at the containment items that have the greatest impact on you?

Thinking of this, Cheng Bin teleported and disappeared from SCP-173’s cell without saying hello-anyway, the communication protocol for Dr. T can carry very complex and huge content, and that communication is not much worse than face-to-face conversation.

In the next moment, Cheng Bin’s figure appeared in a transparent glass room. His eyes were on the high platform in the center of the small room. On it was placed the newest Foundation housed and labeled as Safe (can be Safe containment).

Looking at the orange-red glass spheres with red stars inlaid with the cushions on the high platform, Cheng Bin’s expression is a bit subtle: “I thought there was a misunderstanding, but I didn’t expect it to be this… Why does this kind of thing appear in the world of the SCP Foundation? This setting is too far from the style of painting, right?”

Re-examined the information that Dr. T gave to himself, and then looked through the general database of the Foundation. Cheng Bin looked at the black that was marked as Keter (highly hazardous) in the information and claimed to be able to kill with a name. Small books, and a large number of other familiar and unusual items that appeared at the same time, the desire to spit in my heart keeps rolling.

“I always feel that the situation behind this world is a bit troublesome…” Cheng Bin pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to another enclosed cage in the subspace, “Looking at the relevant information on the past timeline, I should be able to read SCP-682 Then if you know some of the secrets behind the world, do you want to suspend the experiment and check it out first?”
