The Endless Shuttle

"Although I absolutely trust Your Excellency to solve this crisis, I should sit in the office drinking coffee and wait for your good news, but I can't feel at ease when I think that you are the only one running around outside."

What is putting money on your face? This is putting gold on the face.

Mingming was still worried that Luo Pei would not be able to do it, but when he saw Wingate, he immediately changed his attitude, as if he was just here to greet him. After Kevin witnessed it, his evaluation of Wingate dropped by a few percentage points—even though it had already fallen below the negative value.

"...you are standing in the rain waiting for me like this? You don't even have an umbrella?" Luo Pei asked with raised brows.

"These are small things."

Wingate waved his hand and gently lifted it. But that drowned look didn't have the majesty that a "Site Director" should have, it was very funny.

Rope sighed.

"Thank you for welcoming me, Wingate. I've dealt with the emergency, and I can get off work today."

"Is 173 still in this space crack?"

"...Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Luo Pei stared at Wingate incredulously, and pulled out the tea girl who was wearing his suit jacket behind him.

For a moment, everyone felt like they were being targeted by a lion—no, a creature scarier than a lion. Driven by this inexplicable feeling, all the humans present fixed their eyes on the brown-haired girl, not daring to move away, as if their necks would be broken if they moved away.

The girl remained expressionless and did not move.

After a while, Wingate loosened his tie and swallowed.

"Is this lady a friend of Your Excellency Luo Pei? She is very powerful..."

"She is SCP-173, the statue."

"...Who?" Wingate changed his face.

"SCP-173."

The dark-haired youth repeated.

Feeling the murderous intent of the evil thing, Luo Pei squeezed 173's arm, and gave her a threatening look of not messing around, and the latter immediately settled down for the sake of his own life.

"Something went wrong." Rope said, "I smashed the outer statue of 173 when it was recontained, and after doing this and that...it turned out to be what it is now."

SCP-173's statue is a little girl?

Wingate was stunned for a moment, and then the ignorant salary thief turned to look at his most knowledgeable subordinate, Dr. Kevin Hollard. But the old man wearing glasses shook his head frantically, saying that he didn't know such explosive information at all.

"...Are you serious?"

Wingate stared at the poor girl, subconsciously going to touch his jacket pocket.

——Well, I felt empty.

He has never been sick, and naturally he does not have Suxiao Jiuxin Pills.

"...Lord Luo Pei, do I need to go for a psychological evaluation?" Wingate touched his forehead.

"Why do I feel like my spirit is affected and I have hallucinations..."

First came SCP-682 "Immortal Lizard", and then SCP-173 "Statue". Why did the monsters who killed people in the headquarters turn into girls one after another when they came to him? Could it be that SCP-049 "Plague Doctor" is also...

Wingate shook off the absurd thought, but he didn't know that his guess was completely correct.

"That's your business, don't ask me. 173 is already safe at the moment, and if you divide it by your level, it will be downgraded from "Euclid" to "Safe". "

"You are really our savior." Kevin also came over and sighed.

Luo Pei snapped his fingers and stopped the heavy rain.

Although the clouds have not dissipated, fortunately, everyone doesn't have to continue to get rained in the cold winter—bear the brunt, Kevin, who is wearing a wet body armor, gave a thumbs up.

"049 Are you settled?" Luo Pei asked.

"Kevin is in charge over there, I don't know." Wingate shrugged. The fact that Luo Pei was fine made the old man completely relax, and he returned to his incoherent appearance.

"Where's Miss Makise?"

"In my refuge, it's very safe... right? To be honest, I haven't contacted the situation there. You hung up my message and came here directly..."

"……what do you know?"

"Mr. Luo Pei, let me be in charge of connecting with your intelligence, and let this old bastard go back to his office." Kevin seemed to be holding grudges, and he was not polite at all.

Not to mention that Wingate threatened to evacuate Kevin's famous wine collection. With the "help" of two soldiers, the Site Director returned to his jeep.

The world of black mist was gradually sucked into the body of the tea-haired girl, and the soldiers began to pack up the few remaining wreckage of the console.

"Confirm again, Mr. Rope. This... Miss? Is she really SCP-173?" Kevin still couldn't believe it.

"Yes."

Luo Pei grabbed the girl's head and shook it, 173 dared not speak out.

"It used to look like a black glutinous rice dumpling, but later I made her look like this, lest you can't accept her original look."

"...If it is an amorphous creature, I can accept it better." Kevin sighed: "SCP-682 first, then SCP-173, is this going to become a shelter for problem girls..."

"Better than a grotesque monster?"

"That's right." Kevin agreed.

"And what about the properties of SCP-173? I just found out that it doesn't seem like the shifting of a human's gaze can provoke SCP-173's killing. Is it because of your presence, or has she changed in nature?"

"Both. I'm not coming back with a ticking bomb."

"Then, in your opinion, whether we can control the current SCP-173 according to the containment procedures of "Euclid". "

"I'm afraid... you can't."

Rope shook his head.

Liberated space ability, there are very few creatures or structures in this world that can stop the current SCP-173.

"Kevin, go and deal with SCP-049. I will keep SCP-173 with me for a period of time. When I think it can be contained, I will put it in a cage to save her from committing mass murder. "

Send the Buddha to the west, kill people and kill the whole family. You will be responsible for the disasters you cause yourself to the end. Rope thought so.

"this……"

Kevin thought for a moment, and found that this method was indeed the best solution to reduce damage. After seeing Luo Pei's ability again, he was more relieved, so he nodded.
