The Endless Shuttle

Her father had called her to come home quickly and help, now was not the time to be chatting here.

But Urushihara Liuhua hindered her education from childhood to adulthood, so she couldn't leave directly without the other party's permission.

—Because that is impolite behavior.

"It's me who made you feel embarrassed." Luo Pei stepped aside with a smile.

"I'll see you another day, Miss Urushihara."

"yes!"

Watching Urushihara Ruka continue to rush forward in a hurry, Luo Pei touched his chin.

It's strange, there is no special reaction when calling her "Miss", plus this posture...

After a while, Luo Pei shook his head helplessly.

"Ha. What was I thinking..."

The most secret in the world, the SCP Foundation is close at hand, and he is about to enter the organization that contains foreign objects, now is not the time to think about it.

At the farthest point of sight, Luo Pei can already clearly see the position of the sea.

Chapter 8 The Demon King on the Deserted Island, An Unexpected Invitation

On the isolated island where the SCP Foundation branch is located, a very small number of soldiers have just received a new round of material delivery.

It may be the reason for the arrival of SCP-682. Most of the soldiers in the concealed military base on the island have left their posts and went underground to assist researchers in security work. From all aspects, they will even risk their lives to prevent SCP-682 from never stopping escape attempt.

This made the entire island empty in an instant.

The small port where the goods were transported, the two soldiers in charge of guarding entered the rest time. They sat on the high platform, holding the cigarettes that came from the goods in their hands, and relaxed themselves comfortably.

"Honestly, I don't really want to serve here at all."

One of the helmeted soldiers opened up, spitting bitter water.

"Although the salary is no different from that in Europe, this place is too desolate, not to mention women, even this." He raised the cigarette in his hand, "I have to risk punishment for "stealing". "

"Nobody comes here of their own volition."

Another soldier shrugged.

"But an order is an order, and you have no choice but to accept it. Maybe think about it another way, we are all heroes to prevent the destruction of the world."

"Hero?" The soldier in the helmet sneered.

"When the big lizard in the ground breaks free again, we "heroes" will be the first to die. And worthless, not even a medal of honor will be issued to you. "

"How do you know it will break free again? I've been to the underground once, where the protection level broke out in a cold sweat just by looking at it. I can't imagine what existence can escape from that kind of hell."

"It can only be said that your imagination is too poor."

The soldier in the helmet sighed and dropped his cigarette butt at his feet.

"My friend who worked in the shelter where the big lizard was originally, and he was also one of the people responsible for escorting the monster this time, I asked him, and he told me that the lizard suffered severe injuries immediately after its initial escape from the shelter. It delivered a frontal nuclear strike, but it still ran out with a blackened skeleton that didn't have much flesh."

"……are you serious?"

"Unfortunately, my friend is not the type to lie. Besides, if the original shelter was fine, why did the lizard move to our place?"

"..."

The companion fell silent, and the soldier in the helmet stopped talking.

He took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, and stared at the sea surface to pass the time.

Soon, as if seeing something, the soldier's expression gradually froze, and even the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. As if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, he rubbed his eyes.

— the reality has not changed.

On the blue sea in the distance, there is a handsome and tall black-haired young man riding the waves.

The sea water is like a god supporting it, constantly forming new waves under the young man's feet, one step equals ten steps, and the black-haired young man has arrived not far from the port in the blink of an eye.

The soldier's companion also saw the black-haired youth and asked in disbelief.

"Hey, that...is definitely not human?"

"I have no idea."

The voice of the soldier in the helmet trembled a little. He stood up, straightened his helmet, and quickly released the safety of the automatic rifle in his hand.

"I just know we might be in trouble. By the way, do you have any papers for your last words?"

"……No."

"Ha, that's a pity, I was ready--the night after that lizard landed."

He raised his rifle, aimed at the black-haired young man who had just stepped ashore, and shouted loudly.

"Stand still and don't move! If you take another step forward, I'll shoot!"

"..."

Rope stopped in his tracks.

He looked at the two nervous Foundation soldiers and laughed.

"If I were you, I wouldn't easily aim the gun at the head of an abnormal person. I didn't come for you. In view of your courage, if you pretend nothing happened, I can consider saving your life."

Obviously the black-haired youth didn't exude any visual impact, but the other soldier was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his gun.

——Just like the natural oppression of the food chain.

"I think this is a good idea..." he murmured palely.

"Shut up! You greedy bastard!" The soldier in the helmet said viciously: "You can only choose one of the Foundation's bullets and your gun to do your job!"

He had heard of and seen the dangerous containment of SCPs.

Apart from the fact that the man in front of him seemed to understand the way humans think and talk, he was no different from those dangerous SCP containment objects, all of which had a suffocating cold feeling.

Therefore, the soldier wearing the helmet also knew that he might not survive.

But before that, it didn't prevent him from firing all the bullets in the gun—even if it might have no effect.

Seeing that the soldiers answered and rejected his suggestion with actions, Luo Pei shook his head, gathered a small water polo on his right hand and continued walking forward.
