She muttered to herself. This body truly held far too many mysteries.
Then...
What about down there?
There couldn't really be nothing down there, right?
Come on! Impossible!
That was down there!
Anyone who was human should know what "down there" meant, right?!
Xiao Huasheng's expression turned solemn. This concerned a major matter in life!
How could she not feel around?
Very soon, she began exploring that area.
Unfortunately, she found nothing at all.
She immediately grew despondent.
"There really isn't... It's over, it's all over!" she wailed.
With a beep.
The eight-meter-thick door opened again, and a D-Class personnel wearing orange entered.
The D-Class personnel's eyes widened, and she bashfully covered her eyes.
Good grief.
The moment she entered, she saw 173-1 playing with her own body.
"Huh?"
Xiao Huasheng met her gaze, her expression gradually stiffening.
She swallowed, quickly placed the file on the desk in front of Xiao Huasheng.
After taking a deep breath, the D-Class personnel bowed deeply to her!
"Sorry for disturbing you!"
The atmosphere gradually became awkward.
The D-Class personnel turned around and ran off at top speed!
"Ah?! Get back here!"
After standing there in a daze for quite a while, Xiao Huasheng's face turned red. She pulled her hand out of her pants, sprang to her feet, and gave chase!
Unfortunately, the D-Class personnel had already run out.
Looking at the closing door, Xiao Huasheng seemed to lose all her strength.
She stumbled and collapsed onto the floor.
As though she had lost her dreams.
"AAAAAAAAAH!!!"
An unbelievable angelic shriek
At least one thing was certain, though.
There really was nothing down there.
"Just kill me..."
She lay sprawled on the floor, tears streaming down her face, completely dead inside.
She had died of embarrassment.
How wonderful.
Xiao Huasheng sat quietly for a while, calming herself down.
For the moment, she would not bother with such improper matters.
What came next was something quite serious.
The execution experiment involving Entity 096.
She picked up the file and studied it carefully.
She still had to put on a show.
Xiao Huasheng sat quietly in her chair, flipping through the entity file.
It contained only records related to combat.
It listed Entity 096's various abilities.
As for the rest, there was not much else.
It seemed the Foundation remained wary of entities.
There was nothing strange about that.
Regarding Entity 096.
The file clearly stated:
It possessed extrasensory perception (it could innately sense when its face was being observed and the observer's location).
It possessed regenerative abilities (low to moderate; however, even after its internal organs had been nearly completely dissected and it had suffered severe injuries, it appeared unharmed when it later emerged).
Its skeleton could withstand fire, radiation, and acid treatment (tests involving fire, radiation, and acid proved that they caused almost no damage to its bones).
The document stated that "no known material on Earth" could impede its advance. It could easily break free from a five-by-five-meter steel cubic container and effortlessly tear multiple adults to pieces.
It reduced Entity-682 to 15% of its original body weight, and the upper limit might be even higher.
It could withstand damage from Entity-682.
It could run across the world without showing any signs of fatigue.
It was usually docile unless someone saw its face.
Entity 096's bones were unbelievably difficult to destroy, but its muscles were no tougher than an ordinary person's.
This file was fairly straightforward.
Its muscles were like those of an ordinary person, its skeleton was indestructible, and it possessed formidable offensive power.
Honestly, Xiao Huasheng was a little intimidated when facing an opponent like this.
She had only fought ordinary humans before. Faced with an opponent like this, she truly did not know what to do.
In a sense, Entity 096 was even more dangerous than Entity 682.
At least the Foundation could suppress old man 682 before it breached containment, so long as it paid an enormous price.
But Entity 096 was different.
As long as there was a mole within the Foundation who released a photo containing its likeness—say, someone happened to view that photo on the other side of the Earth—
Once Entity 096 went berserk, it would run straight across half the planet to find that person.
No matter what, it would inevitably pass through cities or towns.
The other party would certainly choose major cities to form a straight line.
By then, it would be too late!
The panic, economic losses, and even the exposure of secrets caused by that would be things the Foundation did not want to see.
That would likely be the worst possible containment breach.
Ten thousand times worse than Entity 682!
Based on that point alone, executing Entity 096 had become an urgent priority for the Foundation.
Yet even old man 682 had difficulty defeating Entity 096, so there had been no perfect solution until now.
Its skeleton was simply too difficult to deal with. They had originally intended to release SCP-173 to break its bones, but who would have thought that at this critical moment, Entity 173-1 would appear?
An anomaly with extremely powerful combat capabilities!
It had now been renamed Gun Angel.
Even the firearms Gun Angel produced gave the Foundation a headache.
Fortunately, she possessed considerable intelligence. After negotiating with the Foundation at the cost of her freedom, she agreed.
The O5 Council held great expectations for this.
"This is really troublesome."
Its muscles could be torn apart as easily as an ordinary person's, but its skeleton was indestructible.
Was that telling her to snap its neck? The implication could not have been clearer.
But Xiao Huasheng remained cautious about whether she could snap a neck that even the Foundation could not handle.
If she failed, she might be in for a hard fight.
Old man 682 seemed to have fought it already. Old man 682 was still alive and still playing Russian nesting dolls.
There was no reason she would not be able to survive.
"We'll take it one step at a time. For now, I don't know where that door is..."
If possible, Xiao Huasheng still wanted to make a run for it.
She felt that she simply did not belong here by nature.
She still wanted to wander more, to walk wherever she wished to go.
Now that she was under someone else's control, it was hard for Xiao Huasheng not to slack off.
Visible helplessness appeared on her pretty face, and even the halo above her head dimmed somewhat with her mood.
After preparing herself mentally, Xiao Huasheng placed the file on the desk.
The expression on her face turned resolute...
She would just put on a show!
She had never dragged her feet before, but she felt she could give it a try.
"Entity 173-1, Angel, please follow the Mobile Task Force to the Site-075 containment chamber."
A cold voice sounded over the broadcast.
The eight-meter-thick door in front of Xiao Huasheng slowly opened as well.
Behind it stood a squad of Mobile Task Force members clad in exoskeletons. Their expressions were completely hidden beneath their helmets.
But they probably were not happy either.
With a cold expression, Xiao Huasheng slowly walked toward them, fragmented wings of light spreading behind her like a fan.
A submachine gun appeared in her hand.
Combat mode activated.
At the sight of this, every Mobile Task Force member could not help taking a step back.
The fear instinctively felt by living creatures, the suppression of the superior over the inferior!
After Xiao Huasheng walked up to one of the task force members.
Her cold expression transformed into a warm smile like a spring breeze. She lightly patted the captain's shoulder and said.
"Relax, I won't do anything to you."
Hearing that, the Mobile Task Force captain calmed down after a brief moment and nodded.
"Then please come with us, Angel."
Aside from the captain, who had regained his composure.
