Today's Extra Updates Delayed; Four Updates Tomorrow / The Little Plague Doctor Angel (First Update) ...

Kevin smiled slyly and explained with practiced strokes.

"Get out! Don't corrupt King Kong!"

Unable to stand it any longer, Jill Hera kicked Kevin away. Kevin, unconcerned, patted his backside and leaned against the railing to continue enjoying the breeze.

She's still just a child... Mira chuckled softly, squeezing the metal candy jar in her palm into a thin sheet.

However, although Kevin appeared harmless, he had already completed the basic intelligence gathering and began to speculate on the various possibilities of the second mission.

According to the boss, his character is to resist the Calamity Virus and use the Holy Grail to recode the world.

Now that the Holy Grail is in hand, his most important task is undoubtedly to clean up the mess and eliminate potential threats to the world.

First, although Skull Island is located in the Pacific Region, its exact location of 47°9′S, 126°43′W seems to be a sea area, and there is some discrepancy between the two.

However, the ecological composition here is significantly different from that of ordinary natural environments. The reason for such a large change is likely due to the influence of "that place".

Secondly, based on her speculations about mythology, Heidewilli referred to King Kong as "Behemoth," a creation of God.

The boss behind the scenes referred to the gorilla as "Guardian".

Based on the literal meaning of the words and King Kong's behavior, it can be basically determined that this gorilla is an ancient creature that stands on the side of humans and may have been worshipped as a "god" in the past.

The enemy of "gods" is naturally "demons," and those Skull Lizard sacrificed last night were clearly the biggest villains, though they somewhat failed to live up to the title of "natural disaster."

Here's another piece of information: they come from underground and live in groups.

Finally, the underground... sea area? Could the connection between the two be that?

Kevin leaned against the railing, tapping his fingers as if deep in thought.

Yes, we've found a breakthrough direction. Now we need to clean up these so-called Calamity Virus.

However, just to be on the safe side, I need to resolve the conflict with Jill Hera first, and also figure out what the purpose of these soldiers who have set foot on Skull Island is, and whether it will affect my clearing plan.

Unfortunately, after several days of exploring the island, I still don't know enough about it; otherwise, I could have made a more detailed plan.

On Skull Island, in the jungle, a group of natives who had killed their prey looked sadly at their companion lying on the ground, his chest pierced by sharp spikes, barely alive.

Just as they were preparing to send their hunter brother into the embrace of "God", a rustling sound came from the woods.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, a mysterious figure, approximately 1.9 meters tall, dressed in the traditional attire of a 15th-16th century European "Plague Doctor" and wearing a black bird-beak mask, slowly approached, staring at the dying man.

When they saw the tall, strange man pull out a scalpel, needle and thread, and several bottles of medicine from his satchel, they immediately relaxed.

They had seen similar treatments on Mark.

It turns out he was a doctor...

Meanwhile, mysterious figures dressed in black sacrificial robes were carrying chandeliers and entering the deep, dark cave one by one.

The deeper you go, the more interconnected the underground caves become. Along the way, besides the bones of prey, there are also piles of animal droppings, which have fortunately dried out long ago.

The wind... yes, gusts of salty sea wind blew from the depths of the cave, even carrying the faint sound of waves, as if this place was connected to an unfathomable sea eye.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Of course, the journey was not smooth. The group of Skull Lizard living in the cave made way for the priests, though the priest's leader muttered something cryptic.

But its greedy hunting nature led it to cast its ferocious gaze upon the guards.

On the winding road, more than 20 members of the escort team were dragged into an unknown corner one after another, leaving only screams before being completely torn apart.

As unease began to spread through the sacrificial procession, the leader, holding a lantern, suddenly stopped and stared blankly ahead.

They arrived.

P. S.: If time permits, I will add another chapter tonight.

Chapter 455's bonus chapter today is postponed; four chapters will be released tomorrow.

There's a big gathering today, so I can't get away and it's not convenient to update. I plan to update more tomorrow when I get home.

However, I'd like to ask everyone's thoughts on how to add an extra chapter tomorrow. You can sign in below to confirm, and I'll handle it according to everyone's ideas tomorrow.

1. Two updates in the afternoon, two updates in the evening.

2. Directly at 4 PM

Also, regarding the SCP Foundation's recruitment, please feel free to share your thoughts, and I will try my best to participate.

Chapter 434, Section 456: The Plague Doctor Little Angel (First Update)

In a closed room of a commercial building in Los Angeles, USA.

Dressed in a Yuriko Takagi sat in a chair, flipping through the secret documents urgently submitted by the SCP Foundation. Frustrated, her thoughts raced.

Since the Moonlight War ended with the fall of the "gods," the world has not found peace as expected; instead, chaos and anomalies have intensified.

Meanwhile, strange creatures and unusual phenomena with unknown intentions and origins have appeared in different corners of the earth.

While handling related matters, the SCP Foundation made a startling discovery: many of the monsters emerging from the Void Rift bore a striking resemblance to a manuscript stored on a supercomputer by the founder Kevin.

It not only records the general composition and special abilities of the abnormal creatures, but also proposes some targeted countermeasures.

Based on this manuscript, the SCP Foundation quickly established itself in the first round of battles against anomalous creatures, and gained strong support from various countries with its superb professional skills and restraint in avoiding political and military disputes.

From then on, the SCP Foundation became a specialized agency for controlling anomalous events, containing special organisms, and protecting Human Civilization.

The O5 Council has always regarded this responsibility as its mission and has always been committed to it.

To avoid standing out from the crowd, the SCP Foundation, despite its overwhelming strength, adheres to the principle of keeping a low profile.

Furthermore, based on the SCP Foundation's development and in-depth research over the past decade, the O5 Council has gradually uncovered a glimpse of the truth behind the world's chaos.

Their king, while saving the world, also sowed the seeds of a new crisis.

Because "Honkai" is less a disaster for Human Civilization than a "self-cleaning" mechanism of the Earth, and also the Oldest One "gate" of this This Planet.

The fall of [God] will inevitably disrupt Earth's defense mechanisms, and [external enemies] will take advantage of the situation to invade.

Therefore, it is now their turn to take on this responsibility.

Although that person had the foresight to plan everything for his own demise before going to the moon alone,

But supporting the weight of this This Planet is not easy, and Yuriko Takagi is already finding it difficult.

Her thoughts returned to the present, and the purple-haired woman focused her gaze on the deciphered files. After flipping through a few pages, a frown gradually appeared between her brows.

"SCP-049, codenamed [Plague Doctor], is a sentient entity whose behavior exceeds current scientific knowledge. The Foundation's current understanding of it is limited."

"Although it appears to understand common human language without difficulty and is completely docile, SCP-049's touch is extremely deadly to humans. Upon touching SCP-049's hand, the victim (hereinafter referred to as SCP-049-2) will [DATA EXPUNGED] and die rapidly. Afterwards, in order to return to SCP-049-2 unimpeded, SCP-049 will attempt to kill everyone within its sight in a similar manner."

"At 12:24 AM last night, SCP-049 breached containment at Underground Facility 7 in London, England..."

"SCP-682, codenamed [The Immortal Abomination], is a gigantic reptile of unknown origin. It exhibits extremely high intelligence and displays Abomination for all life..."

"At 12:20 AM last night, SCP-682 breached containment at Underground Facility No. 5 in Brazil South America..."

To contain these anomalous creatures and special items, the SCP Foundation has built targeted containment facilities around the world, mostly in remote, uninhabited areas, heavily guarded.

Unfortunately, human technology and understanding make it difficult to eradicate these abnormal creatures.

However, with prolonged custody, oversights are inevitable, and escapes of contained items have occurred before.

However, it is difficult to say that it is a coincidence that three or four shelters experienced riots at almost the same time; there must be some connection between them.

Fortunately, the headquarters' mobile task force was dispatched in time, and in fact only the two anomalous creatures, [Plague Doctor] and [Immortal Abomination], successfully escaped.

The "epidemic doctor" was alright; among those crazy scientists, he was jokingly called the "Plague Doctor Little Angel."

Although it can kill people, it does so out of good intentions. This guy genuinely wants to help people, but his treatment is not suitable for humans, so the harm it causes is relatively small.

The [Immortal Abomination] is a much more troublesome creature. It was among the first abnormal beings to visit this This Planet, and its abnormal abilities, such as immortality and self-evolution, are a real headache.

When the Second Honkai Calamity struck, Sirin, by relying on the power of [God], excessively interfered with space, weakening Earth's defense mechanisms. This rather abnormal high-dimensional being took advantage of the situation and ran rampant in Siberia for a long time.

Later, the Moonlight War ended, the Earth Mother Goddess perished, and the Immortal Abomination that broke free from the Spatial Rift reappeared in the rainforests of South America, causing numerous casualties.

Ultimately, based on founder Kevin's manuscript, the O5 Council rejected the use of tactical nuclear weapons and dispatched two mobile task forces to capture the monster and imprison it in a pool of hydrochloric acid.

However, it seems that after only a few years of peace, these strange and unusual contained objects, for some unknown reason, have started causing trouble again.

Moreover, according to feedback from a group of secretly implanted nanobots, the two anomalous biosignals seem to have disappeared in the South Pacific.

The South Pacific? It seems like some Big Sister from the O5 Council is conducting surveillance missions against [Monarch Organization] in that area.

Could it be that their destination is Skull Island?

After understanding the general situation, Yuriko Takagi closed the folder, leaned back in her chair, rubbed her temples with both hands, and murmured to herself as she looked toward the shadowy corner by the door.

"Execute the SCP Foundation's Level 3 Emergency Response Plan and recall all field agents on leave..."

"Also, deploy a mobile task force to the outskirts of the Skull Island storm zone and stand by..."

Helena Harper, dressed in black skinny jeans and a leather jacket, emerged from the darkness and nodded slightly.

Since his sister's life in County of Surrey, England, settled down, the former head of security for the US president has devoted himself to serving Yuriko Takagi, the head of the SCP Foundation, acting as her personal assistant and bodyguard.

The more Helena Harper interacted with the SCP Foundation, the clearer her understanding became of the darkness it was protecting, and she was increasingly captivated by the charm of this seemingly fragile woman.

"Boss, which mobile task force are you planning to deploy?"

Yuriko Takagi took the microcomputer from Helena, opened the database link, and began coordinating and deploying resources based on the situation of each party.

While deep in thought, the purple-haired woman habitually placed her right hand on the table and rhythmically tapped her fingers, a gesture strikingly similar to someone Helena remembered.

A guy who, though long dead, still has an influence that spans the world.

Chapter 435 The Overbearing Alliance Leader Cocolia (Second Update)

The SCP Foundation has seven Mobile Task Forces, which are considered the organization's elite forces. However, with two contained objects escaping and the unclear situation on Skull Island, things are likely to become very complicated.

Therefore, the selection of personnel must be extremely careful. First of all, the second squad [World Tree] and the Team Four [Apocalypse], which rely on the "two-way interaction of thought perception" system to operate small Tactical Mech, were immediately excluded from this mission by Yuriko Takagi.

There are two reasons. First, the special storms in the waters around Skull Island can interfere with electronic signal communication, so even if all the Tactical Mech are deployed there, they may not be of any use.

Secondly, these two task forces excel at urban warfare or information warfare in civilized societies, and the isolated rainforest environment of Skull Island would be a significant disadvantage for them.

Moreover, the two teams each have their own uses. The World Tree, based in Tokyo, is the first-level information department of the SCP Foundation, and its economic benefits far outweigh its combat effectiveness.

Meanwhile, the World Tree guards Tokyo to prevent Cocolia - Anti-Entropy, from secretly plotting against ME Company and the Raiden Ryoma family, and potentially going to extremes.

This female officer who led the Russian army to resist the Second Honkai Calamity is truly remarkable.

Kevin Kaslana, the former interim leader, used her shrewdness and cunning to achieve a high degree of centralization over the loosely organized [Anti-Entropy]. After her death in the Siberian Wasteland, Welt Yang, who lost the Herrscher Core, has been living in seclusion and has not taken over the position.

For a long time, the position of leader of the alliance was vacant, and Raiden Ryoma of the Welt and Cocolia of the Kevin faction became the most popular candidates for leader.

The two forces had been vying for power for a long time. Cocolia, who was originally in a weaker position, first attracted young scientists to join Anti-Entropy. With fresh and ambitious blood, she diluted the stagnation of the older generation and gradually reversed the balance of power between the old and new forces, ultimately laying the foundation for herself to become the representative of the younger generation.

Secondly, there are things like poaching talent from [Schicksal], forming their own Valkyrie Guard, draining the talent pool of the Mikoyan Design Bureau, supporting [Wild Serpent], and rampant commercialization of [Anti-Entropy]'s technology in every aspect...

These combined tactics of elimination and attack, coupled with the current turbulent situation, have led to the rapid development of [Anti-Entropy], with Cocolia becoming the most prominent figure.

On the contrary, Raiden Ryoma, which has always adhered to the concept of peaceful development, has gradually fallen behind in this era of great competition.

Who would have thought that a Russian-descended outsider would grow stronger despite being at a disadvantage, and has now completely sidelined Raiden Ryoma, becoming the de facto ruler of [Anti-Entropy].

Whenever Yuriko Takagi thinks about it, she feels ashamed of herself for not being as good as him.

After all, the path this purple-haired woman walked was paved by that man himself. After opening her heart and soul to him, her own stage was fully set up.

But Cocolia was different. Kevin never intended for this woman to seize power in [Anti-Entropy]. He only arranged for this old subordinate to run a few orphanages and one or two private enterprises that could revitalize the Siberia region.

However, this woman, with her pride, chose the most difficult journey.

However, there are pros and cons. In recent years, Cocolia has become increasingly aggressive in her actions and has even begun to have friction with the SCP Foundation.

Left with no other choice, Yuriko Takagi could only use the SCP Foundation as a buffer, giving the declining ME Company and Raiden Ryoma a few more breaths.

As long as [Anti-Entropy] maintains its balance of power without breaking down, the differences of opinion will eventually make Cocolia wary.

As for the [Apocalypse] squad, their main area of operation is in North America, and they still need to step in to resolve some minor issues.

At the same time, they are also a goodwill mission of the SCP Foundation to communicate with the Avengers, and this force should not be moved recklessly.
