Chapter 138
She spoke the absolute truth.
Upon hearing this, Jin Li, number 2, stared wide-eyed in astonishment in the command room.
"We're going to destroy the world? How could that be? Has something happened?"
"Ku Tang thinks we need to observe it more closely," said Number 2 Ku Tang, secretly taking the coffee from Jin Li's hand and slowly savoring it.
"Hey! You little brat!" Jin Li, number 2, immediately got angry when she saw that her coffee was gone.
"I put a lot of effort into making this coffee, it'll be a waste if it gets cold," muttered Number 2, Ku Tang, adding, "If you, the supervisor, handle this situation poorly, then Ku Tang will be the supervisor!"
Number 2, Jin Li, was so angry his nose was practically crooked.
It seems that the father-daughter relationship between these two remains unchanged in this world.
Ultimately, the Foundation decided to check the contents of the USB drive first, in case it really did lead to the end of the world.
Many details cannot be obtained through the mere fantasies of those Reality Bender.
Clearly, after Xiao Huasheng pried open the door, the Foundation knew that she was also a Reality Bender, and at least at level four.
Being able to continue using Distortion abilities while being Reality Stabilization Anchor of this large facility is something that a low-level juvenile god cannot do.
Furthermore, the other party demonstrated an extremely familiar attitude towards the Foundation.
Therefore, we treat her with great care.
Soon, a task force member carried a laptop and a table into the empty room.
After connecting the power, he left in silence.
But Xiao Huasheng was extremely familiar with this person's appearance.
This guy... isn't Ai Er Lan?
But Ai Er Lan from Lobotomy Corporation is still there...
Doesn't this mean that after the world was reset, the employees were all recreated?
This is really...
Thinking this through, Xiao Huasheng accepted it. Seeing that Number 2 Ai Er Lan, was about to leave, she quickly waved and said, "Wait a minute? Ai Er Lan?"
Upon hearing her words, Number 2, Ai Er Lan, turned around in surprise.
"Hello."
He didn't say much, remaining extremely vigilant.
"Um, um... could you get me two chairs? It's uncomfortable to watch the video standing up." After stammering for a while, Xiao Huasheng finally didn't know what to say and could only make this request.
The Ai Er Lan before her was no longer the Ai Er Lan she knew.
The familiar employee Ai Er Lan, is still at Lobotomy Corporation playing with his wife and children.
Yes, before 610 arrived in that village, Xiao Huasheng had already taken the mother and daughter into Lobotomy Corporation, fulfilling Ai Er Lan's wish to reunite with her family.
While ordinary people also expend energy, it's not that much; the two of them only expend 1.5 units of energy per day.
This was naturally not a problem for Xiao Huasheng.
Looking at the slightly different Ai Er Lan in front of him, Xiao Huasheng felt a mix of emotions.
"Okay, just a moment." Number 2 Ai Er Lan, nodded and quickly brought over two chairs.
"Do you know him?" negotiation expert Smith asked.
"He was a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside me," Xiao Huasheng said simply.
At this point, Smith was fairly convinced.
The negotiation expert and Xiao Huasheng sat to one side, with the USB drive ready to be plugged in at any time.
After the USB drive is inserted.
Those who were constantly watching Jin Li No. 2 and Ku Tang No. 2 witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives through the Cognitive Filter.
A man with an unknown face appeared on the screen.
"I am O5-1. When you see this video, it proves that our plan to have the Angel reset the world has succeeded..."
Chapter 4: Angel X Imprisonment [1 update]
The face of O5-1 on the screen was shrouded in shadow, with only a pair of eyes visible as they stared at the screen.
His fingers tapped slowly on the table.
"Human civilization will come to a complete end in 72 hours." His voice was specially processed and difficult to hear. "We will be strangled by everything we have created, strangled by the Foundation itself."
The camera suddenly zoomed in, revealing spiderweb-like blood vessels in the whites of his eyes. "The Foundation's human extinction plan is being launched simultaneously worldwide."
"The Foundation unanimously approved the 'Nirvana Protocol'," he said slowly. "We will activate SCP-2000, and through the hand of 173-1, reset the entire universe..."
"When the Angel returns to your side, please treat her kindly. She also possesses the power to destroy the monsters behind humanity. Let her sing, let her sing freely throughout the world..."
"In this way, she will dispel the shadows from the human soul."
After saying that sentence...
Then, the style changed.
The O5-1 disappeared from the video, replaced by a very abstract-looking advertisement.
A member of the task force is enthusiastically shouting into the video.
"Are you and your family still being harassed by all sorts of terrible containment devices, to the point of irreparable consequences? Head to the mid- Himalayas and join us for highly effective shelter."
In the advertisement, the task force members spared no effort in introducing the base built in the Himalayas.
"Join now and enjoy a 20% discount on your stay! You only need to put in 80% effort to receive 100% protection!"
Then the advertisement showed photos of Xiao Huasheng's battle damage at that time, that is, photos taken when he was exposed to various battle damage by the containment object at a certain time.
In the photo, she is petite and charming, making her incredibly endearing.
"Here, we also have lovely Angel fighting monsters alongside us. Join us, and you'll be able to interact with her personally!"
Xiao Huasheng's eyelids twitched when he saw this. When did she become advertising material, and why this kind of photo?!
Seeing the negotiation expert looking at him, Xiao Huasheng's face flushed red with shame and indignation.
"Damn it..." She clenched her fists, wishing she could blow the guy who took the photo to pieces.
But since the world had been reset, of course she couldn't find anyone.
Finally, the task force member spoke at breakneck speed, "Advertisement summary: If you do not have any containment equipment or are an unrealistic Reality Bender, please head to Yellowstone Park to join the branch."
Then, the advertisement was repeated.
The negotiation experts repeatedly tried to zoom out the video, but it always ended up showing the same advertisement.
It seems this has been specially processed; the O5 announcement at the beginning of the ad will only appear once.
"Well, do you believe me now?" Xiao Huasheng puffed out his chest and looked at the negotiation expert in front of him.
To be honest, even now they are not sure whether what Xiao Huasheng said is true or not.
However, the various Foundation figures appearing in the internal advertisements cannot be faked.
They even have corresponding personnel in the current Foundation, and although there are some slight differences, they can still recognize that it is the person in question.
"Thank you for your cooperation." After receiving the message from the supervisor, the negotiation expert stood up and voluntarily left the containment room.
Clearly, there were still quite a few procedures to complete, so Xiao Huasheng could only wait silently.
She's no longer on the Foundation's payroll, and if she's later deemed a high-risk containment object by the Foundation, all her good behavior for so long will have been for nothing.
Inside the command center, Jin Li, number 2, was trying to determine whether Xiao Huasheng's statement was true.
He bit the back of his hand, watching the red-haired Angel listlessly fiddling with his toes in the empty room.
He has already uploaded this message directly to the Foundation's main communications system, where it was received by the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Squad is a task force that only O5 can command, and it is also the task force that directly serves them.
Therefore, the fact that they received this message means that O5 became aware of it.
Suddenly, a portal appeared next to Jin Li, number 2.
A dark blue circular portal opened without warning in the command room.
The members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad walked out in unison.
The captain's mask gleamed coldly, and his voice, processed by a voice changer, became a mechanical hum. "By order of O5."
He handed a certificate to the facility's supervisor, Jin Li (number 2), saying, "Immediately transfer 173-1 and send someone to bring her out."
Number 2, Jin Li, still had his hand between his teeth, and beads of blood were seeping from the teeth marks.
He verified the proof and found that the encryption was successful.
He then addressed the captain before him, saying, "But I think the most effective containment measure for this entity right now is to permanently render her unconscious, or simply banish her, just like that witch."
In fact, this was an idea that Jin Li had had before.
However, it was Xiao Huasheng's kindness that made him give up the idea.
The Nine-Tailed Fox captain slowly said, "Treat her well. You should have seen that message; we received it simultaneously as well."
"But..." Number 2, Jin Li, was still very worried.
"This is O5's order." Finally, the captain used this excuse to shut up Jin Li, number 2. "I know you're capable and can think of things that ordinary people can't, but you need to understand that trust is essential in this world."
Silence...
Then, number 2 Jin Li, made a move.
"Ku Tang, what do you think of this mission?" Number 2 Jin Li looked at Number 2 Ku Tang beside him.
"It's very simple..." said Number 2, Ku Tang.
Then, the door to the containment cell finally opened.
Xiao Huasheng also saw a familiar face.
"Ku Tang? What are you doing out here?"
"What are you talking about?" Number 2, Ku Tang, asked expressionlessly.
[Manager, this is Ku Tang from a parallel universe, not the Ku Tang in our company.] Angela reminded her.
"Oh... right," Xiao Huasheng said belatedly.
She then grabbed the hand of Number 2 Ku Tang and waved it happily. "No matter what, you've finally come to your senses."
The red-haired Angel smiled softly.
The smile on his face was exceptionally radiant.
She could foresee what would happen next: she would be enshrined by the Foundation and forced to perform all over the world until the monster behind humanity disappeared!
It must be like this...
Chapter 5: Parallel Universes, Worlds That Have Vanished [2 Updates]
Clang.
As the iron cage closed, Xiao Huasheng was completely bewildered as he was locked inside, staring in horror at what lay ahead.
The iron cage itself is also a Reality Stabilization Anchor; once a Reality Bender is locked inside, he is essentially no different from an ordinary person.
Then she was lifted up by two Nine-Tailed Fox team members and carried into the portal like a kitten.
Through the iron cage, she suddenly let out an unbelievable Angel scream.
"This... this isn't right!!"
The scene changed, and it became a pure white space.
The two Nine-Tailed Fox team members also withdrew from this area.
"I'm sorry to see you in this way." A voice came from in front of me.
An elderly man with an obscured face and a hunched back appeared before Xiao Huasheng.
