Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: First Mission, SCP-173

He was tall and handsome, and looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

It is not an exaggeration to say that his eyebrows were as bright as stars and his ears as beautiful as jade.

However, at the moment, he was wearing an orange overall, standing among a group of people wearing the same outfit.

At first glance, it looked like a courier company was holding a rally for its employees.

However, unlike Leon Lake's clear and firm eyes, the other people around him all had dull expressions and distracted eyes, staring blankly at the video that was repeated over and over again on the podium.

Faintly, one could still hear that familiar emphasis.

[We control, we...]

Countless people saw this scene and immediately started talking about it.

[Extraordinary Chat Group]

[Tony]: Damn, this is not brainwashing, right?

[Steve]: Protecting humans from abnormal threats? To be honest, I initially thought that the SCP Foundation was a decent organization like SHIELD.

[Loki]: Hmm, for these ordinary people who have no knowledge and only care about their own interests, brainwashing may be the simplest and most convenient method. Unfortunately, the brainwashing method of this SCP Foundation is too low-level.

[Wang]: There is an old saying: The people can be made to follow a principle, but they cannot be made to understand it.

As they were discussing, a man in a white coat and glasses walked into the scene.

He calmly came to the podium, surrounded by several agents wearing strange combat uniforms and equipped with real guns.

Ignoring the commotion of the crowd, the man in the white coat finally spoke.

"This is a world of anomalies."

"Anomalies are objects and life that do not follow the natural laws we are familiar with."

"A corridor that you can never exit, a mechanical god from ancient times, and humans who reshape reality with their will..."

When the humans in the Marvel world saw that strange man saying such horrifying words, their scalps suddenly went numb.

There was only one thought in everyone's mind.

Is this true or false?

All the extraordinary people just frowned.

They thought it was just some little tricks with some strange personalities, but then the discussion included the mention of evil gods?

However, due to the somewhat low-level and inhumane brainwashing methods previously demonstrated by the SCP Foundation, most people were still skeptical about this statement.

In the picture, the eyes under the thick lenses of the man in the white coat looked at everyone as if they were looking at a group of dead men:

"As D-class personnel, your first priority is to obey orders, and the second is to ensure your safety. You must always be clear about your identity - D stands for Dispensable, which means expendable."

"Experiments are a daily routine for you. You are the guinea pigs here. Please obey all orders, otherwise we will send you back to the prison where you are serving your death sentence or life imprisonment."

Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room was in an uproar.

Only then did everyone realize that these people in orange overalls were actually serious or death row prisoners in prison.

And those audiences who were originally shouting for human rights also temporarily stopped shouting.

Death row prisoners definitely have no human rights.

As for the identity of Leon Lake, the person who was exposed, everyone naturally came to a conclusion.

An unforgivable death row prisoner!

Death is not a pity!

Future Technology Building.

Spider-Man, hanging from the ceiling like a spider, touched his head, turned to look at Leon Lake and asked curiously: "So, you were a death row inmate in your previous life? What crime did you commit?"

Leon Lake glanced at him and said calmly, "Won't you know if you keep reading?"

In the picture, the voice of the man in the white coat mixed with the brainwashing propaganda slogan of the SCP Foundation behind him ended at the same time.

And those wanted criminals who had countless eyes woke up one by one, as if their memories were forcibly inserted.

Judging from their fanatical expressions visible to the naked eye, it is obvious that the brainwashing from the SCP Foundation has been successful.

Seeing those originally ferocious expressions suddenly become devout and fanatical, the audience in the live broadcast room all felt a chill on their backs.

This foundation seems to have something of its own?

Very low-level brainwashing method.

But it's also very practical.

Some careful people also noticed that Leon Lake, the person who was exposed, did not seem to have much change in expression from the beginning.

Isn't he brainwashed?

Just as the D-class personnel in the picture were about to leave, the man in the white coat suddenly called out a string of numbers.

"D-14134 stay, you have a mission."

Hearing this, Leon Lake, who was about to leave in the picture, paused. On his badge, a number was clearly written:

D-14134

In the picture, Leon Lake, numbered D-14134, was brought to the white coat by an agent armed with real guns.

The man in the white coat still had a dead look on his face: "You are about to carry out your first mission: clean up the secretions of SCP-173."

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment.

"What the hell? Cleaning up the garbage? So this is what the SCP Foundation calls a very dangerous task? Hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter. So, isn't this the case? I'm on missions every day, right?"

"As we all know, the secretions of this thing are extremely dangerous and toxic. If the cleaner is not careful, he will experience nausea and stomach upset. Psst, I can't make it up anymore, hahaha~"

"Secretion? Is this shit?"

In an instant, the live broadcast room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The Ancient One of Kamar-Taj looked a little hesitant.

She suddenly remembered the previous warning from the system.

This time the mission...

Is it really that simple?

Finally, changes occurred in the picture.

A file that looked like a document appeared on the screen.

[Project Name: Statue]

[Item #: SCP-173]

[Object Class: Euclid]

[Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a locked containment chamber at all times.
