The Navigator can detect nearby dangerous SCPs and display their numbers. At this moment, the Navigator in Brit's hand shows a red dot and a number: [SCP-096].
"SCP-096..." Brit stared at the Navigator and couldn't help frowning, confusion clouding his mind.
Kiwo and RT also surrounded him, so they saw the screen of the Navigator. Like Brit, the two of them were confused about this new SCP.
"Is there any information about it in the guide?" RT asked nervously.
Brit shook his head upon hearing this and said, "No, there is no information about the contents of the Heavy Containment Area in the guide, only a simple way to finish the level..."
RT's face suddenly showed a look of depression.
Brit sighed, understanding RT's mood very well. In the current situation, it would be better if they knew the nature of the SCP. Even if the SCP is dangerous and difficult to deal with, at least they would be psychologically prepared. But since they don't know its nature, if they are not careful, it could mean death.
After all, the game has progressed to this point, and they are aware that, regardless of what kind of SCP it is, it could be an extremely dangerous entity, for example, the 'Many-Winged Angel.' Who would have thought such a vicious monster was hidden beneath such beautiful wings?
Thinking of this, Brit glanced into the window next to him. He saw that the tall, strange man was still standing with his back to the window, motionless.
Brit was very vigilant and said softly, "Let's squat down first and move lightly."
The two nodded. The three of them squatted down quietly and moved under the window of the room.
After squatting, Brit looked around. He found that this aisle was not very long, and at the end was a metal door. But without trying, Brit knew the door would never open. Since it was blocked, they would need to complete a certain task before leaving.
Next to them, the entrance to an adjacent room was a push-button metal door. This door should be able to open. After all, you can't let the player have no way to proceed, right?
In addition, there was the lighting in the aisle. The lights flickered, indicating a poor connection. Alternating between light and dark, combined with the silent environment, would likely cause the player's psychological tension to increase unconsciously.
"Perhaps we should go into the room and take a look..." Brit suggested after surveying the area.
Hearing this, Kiwo and RT suddenly looked surprised. But soon, they understood. At this point, they seemed to have no other choice but to enter the room. It was clear that this level was guiding the player to do so. What they needed to do would require going in and finding out.
"Hey, why don't we get some hints from the game? We used to get hints when encountering new SCPs, like files or something..." Kiwo said pitifully, with a bitter expression.
Hearing this, Brit shook his head helplessly. "It's not like the SCPs we've encountered before... Maybe this one has escaped from its Containment Chamber..."
After speaking, Brit looked up at the window's position. He thought for a moment, then said, "This SCP looks like a human; perhaps it possesses intelligence and can communicate."
As Brit finished speaking, RT immediately replied, with a sad look on his face: "Hey, that thing looks like a human, but it's still an SCP. Who knows if it's truly human..."
"That's right, like the 'Plague Doctor.' Doesn't it also look human? And it turned out to be abnormal."
Brit shook his head. "Exactly. Maybe the one in the room is even more brutal and will attack us when we meet."
The three fell silent, their faces filled with worry.
After a few seconds, Kiwo spoke again: "Hey, Vale and Plumbella should be watching us now, right? It would be great if everyone was here. Two more people could help us think of a way..."
Brit smiled wryly after hearing that. "Yeah, and what happened to Vale earlier must have been due to the abnormal properties of the 'Cowbell'..."
Initially, Brit didn't understand the reason. But now, he figured it out. Why did Vale have a mishap just as he was about to leave the room? The reason was simple: he was affected by the anomalous properties of the 'Cowbell' and saw the ghostly entity. Because the entity appeared so suddenly, Vale was taken aback, leading to a chain reaction of events.
Of course, none of that matters now, since Vale has quit the game. Only three remain from the original team of five. Moreover, these three are currently trapped in an unfamiliar area. Next to them is SCP-096, whose specific anomalous properties are unknown. What will happen next, Brit has no confidence.
[ ===== ]
As for the predicament the group was in, the viewers on the stream saw it as well. They posted eagerly in the chat, discussing the SCP-096 they had just seen:
"Is that a person?"
"It could be human! Anyway, I think the SCP could be anything!"
"Why do I feel my back tingling when I see that thing?"
"The arms of SCP-096 are long! I don't know what it looks like from the front..."
"I want to see what it looks like. I'm super curious!"
"It's a new SCP. I don't think it's easy to mess with!"
[ ===== ]
A few seconds passed.
The group looked at the chat in the stream and found that the viewers were just as clueless as they were; no one had a better solution to their current situation.
Brit looked up at the window, then turned his head to look at the door to the nearby room. He took a deep breath and said, "That thing... or person, hasn't noticed us yet. I'll go in first. You wait outside and react accordingly!"
Seeing the worry on Kiwo and RT's faces, Brit reassured them: "Don't worry, the game won't give us an unsolvable puzzle. Going in doesn't necessarily mean death, maybe it won't attack me?"
Kiwo sighed. There was no better option now; they could only nod in agreement:
"Brit, be careful!"
"Be careful!"
"Yeah! I'm going in!" Brit nodded firmly.
He took another deep breath, then prepared to stand up. But just as he exerted force with his legs, a man's voice suddenly came from the next room: "Damn! Something went wrong again!"
After hearing the man's voice, Brit froze for a moment and stopped his movement.
The three looked at each other, puzzled. Is there someone else in this room? Or... was that the voice of SCP-096? Of course, it's not surprising for an SCP to speak, since the 'Plague Doctor' can speak too. But does an SCP care about technical issues?
All three were in doubt, but before they could get up to check the situation, the man's voice came again: "Ah! Damn it! How did you get out?!"
