I’m In Charge of SCP

Dr. ██: May I ask, what exactly do you do in your world?

Advisor ██: Didn't I tell you? You can call me the Great Magician or the Magician, David Copperfield, you know, I was at the same party with him... went to the toilet.

...

Walking to the 500th floor, SCP-087-1 appeared in front of the two again, this time at a distance of three meters, probably because they were afraid that Zhang Jue would pounce on it again.

██ Consultant (with a cold face): I don’t have a long memory, do you? What are you looking at?

SCP-087-1 blinked, seemed to be thinking, and after three seconds, disappeared into the darkness.

Dr. ██ (watching the scene calmly): I thought of a word.

██ Advisor: Oh?

Dr. ██: Ghosts are afraid of evil people.

██ Advisor: Thanks for the compliment.

Dr. ██: …

All the way down, SCP-087-1 was never seen again.

The two came to the bottom of the stairwell, the 610th floor.

The wooden door has been destroyed, scattered dolls are scattered around, and the walls are full of bullet holes.

Advisor ██ (look left and right): Wow, the battle is really intense.

Dr. ██: Are you going in? Are you not afraid of what's inside?

Counselor ██: As I said, they're not scary as long as you're not scared.

The cry for help came from inside the door, gradually becoming clearer.

The two walked into the wooden door, and the faceless puppets on both sides of the corridor had returned to their original 'hanging' state.

When they approached, the puppet began to move.

Dr. ██ grabbed Consultant ██'s arm, looking slightly nervous.

Dr. ██ (cheeks slightly flushed): Excuse me.

██ Consultant: It’s okay, it’s all my fault for being too attractive, wow, do you have two steamed buns in your arms, it takes up so much space——

【DATA EXPUNGED】

Counselor ██ (covering his left face): You see, they are not moving now.

Dr. ██ (stare): You can't divert my attention in another way!

The hallway is long, but not in a straight line.

The two walked for an hour and reached the end, which was a huge round stone room.

The diameter of the stone chamber is about 30 meters, and no light-absorbing materials are used. The lighting equipment used by the two can already illuminate the whole picture of the stone chamber.

Various symbols of unknown meaning are painted on the surrounding walls, which should be some kind of spell.

In the center of the stone chamber is a huge circular altar, made of black stones, and countless faceless puppets are hung above the altar.

In the center of the altar is a stone-carved basket, which is empty and contains nothing.

Dr. ██: It seems that your guess is correct, this should be some kind of sacrificial ceremony.

Consultant ██ (looks left and right): Ah, I just don’t know what it’s used for, so I’ll pay homage to it if I’m not shitting.

Dr. ██ (helpless): Can't you think of a better way?

【DATA EXPUNGED】

Dr. ██: Here's a mural.

██ Counselor (looking up and down): Wow, that's an exciting story.

There are three pictures in the mural:

In the first picture, a human-faced monster with four legs and eight hands is slaughtering in a certain human village, and the corpses of villagers are all under his feet.

In the second picture, countless villagers knelt in front of a prototype altar, cut off their faces with a knife, and worshiped devoutly.

In the third picture, an egg appeared in the stone basket in the altar, and a baby hatched.

Dr. ██ (with a puzzled face): This means that these humans used some kind of mysterious ritual to summon gods in order to defeat monsters?

██ Consultant: How to interpret something like a mural depends on your imagination. With these three paintings alone, I can say this: that monster beat everyone,

Forcing them to cut off their faces as a sacrifice, hatched his children.

Dr. ██: …

Since they entered the stone chamber, the cry for help disappeared. The two searched everywhere, but could not find the source of the sound.

There are walls all around, and there is nothing else except the mural.

After searching to no avail, the two came to the stone basket in the center of the altar.

Advisor ██ reached out to touch the stone basket, but was stopped by Dr. ██.

Dr. ██: You better not touch it.

██ Advisor (with a slight smile): Are you worried about me?

Dr. ██ (lowering head): You are a Foundation advisor, and I should be concerned about your safety.

██ Advisor: I see, since I am a Foundation advisor, is it my biggest here.

Dr. ██: Don't… I have a bad feeling.

Consultant ██ (patting her hand, smiling): Don’t worry, who am I, even ghosts and gods are afraid of me——if something really happens later, just run out by yourself, don’t worry about me, remember, as long as you Don't be afraid, they are not scary.

Dr. ██ stared into Consultant ██'s eyes, and after 5 seconds, released his hand, giving up on stopping Consultant ██.

Consultant ██ placed his hand in the center of the stone basket. At this moment, the temperature of the stone chamber dropped by at least a few degrees, and Dr. ██ could clearly feel the surrounding air getting colder.

██ Advisor's eyes glaze over.

Dr. ██ looked nervous and tried to push Consultant ██'s body, but Consultant ██ and the stone basket seemed to have some kind of connection and remained motionless.

The surrounding puppets began to shake.

██ Advisor (panic): ██! , Wake up, wake up!

Advisor ██'s five senses seemed to be blocked, and he did not respond to Dr. ██'s call.

Some of the puppets have been detached from the ropes and gathered in the direction of Dr. ██.

Dr. ██ panicked and started backing away. She took out Colt from her backpack and held it in front of Consultant ██.

The puppet surrounded her and Counselor ██, and did not attack immediately.

Dr. ██ felt his heart beat faster, his blood pressure rise, and the hairs all over his body trembled.

She turned her head slowly.

SCP-087-01, the pupilless face, is behind her, less than 30 centimeters from her face.

Dr. ██: Ah— (screams)

Bang bang bang, several shots were fired.

SCP-087-01 remains intact.

Dr. ██ (gasps): Calm down...can't be afraid...

SCP-087-01 suddenly rushes towards the immobile ██ advisor.

Dr. ██ stands in front of Advisor ██.

Dr. ██ was blown away by a huge force, spitting blood.

Due to the protection of Dr. ██, Advisor ██ was not harmed.

SCP-087-01 charged at Consultant ██ again, and its attack was again blocked by Dr. ██.

SCP-087-01 gazes at Dr. ██, changes direction, and gallops towards her.

Dr. ██ closes his eyes.

A gust of wind.

Dr. ██ opens his eyes.

██Counselor (grabs SCP-087-1, throws it to the ground, stomps): Who! let! you! look! I! of? !

SCP-087-1 looked unlovely.

【DATA EXPUNGED】

Counselor ██ (slightly apologetic): Sorry, I'm late, let's go.

Dr. ██ (wiping the corners of his eyes and smiling): Good.

Advisor ██ looked around, and the faceless puppets backed away.

Advisor ██ spat at SCP-087-1, who was under his feet, and led Dr. ██ down the altar.

【DATA EXPUNGED】

appendix:

Ten hours later, Counselor ██ and Dr. ██ exited SCP-087.

During this period, Dr. ██ asked Consultant ██ what he had experienced during that time.

██ Advisor: Ah, you may not believe it, I had a sexual dream, it’s true—even if you hit me, it’s true.
