After pondering for a while, Jin Li slowly said, "Words alone prove nothing. Let me see it... I believe that dead souls can become your employees, but I don't really trust this claim that there are entities inside you."
After all, Xiao Huasheng had never displayed such an ability before.
"Which one do you want to summon?"
She asked.
There were four anomalies within her.
Silent Orchestra, One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds, Queen of Hatred, and the temporary worker SCP-049, the Quack Doctor.
"Not the one that killed everyone on a planet, and not the one that shattered a satellite. Bring out that Old Bones you mentioned..."
Before long, One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds was summoned at his request.
A floating skull wearing a crown of thorns, with a cross embedded in it, appeared before Jin Li.
His eyes immediately widened. So this was for real?!
Looking at the giggling red-haired Angel before him, he suddenly felt as though he could no longer understand this world.
So other entities could be born from within an entity?
Could it be that all entities shared the same origin?
Jin Li sincerely found himself considering that possibility.
Item Number: 173-1-1 Object Class: Safe Description: The target is a harmless floating skull wearing a crown of thorns, with a cross embedded in it. According to Entity-173-1, this entity derived from it possesses the ability to receive confessions of sin. After a confession is completed, it will erase that person's sins. After former A- personally tested it, he confessed to the skull about acting on his emotions, and the guilt in his heart was greatly relieved. As a result, he displayed no further irrational behavior during subsequent work. However, the Foundation still demoted him for his violation of regulations. At no time should A-Class personnel come into contact with entities. Should circumstances require A-Class personnel to directly approach such anomalies, such as when a facility contains containment cells, A-Class personnel are not permitted to enter the facility area containing such anomalies and must remain in a secure area at all times. Former A- was demoted to observation duty for violating the relevant regulations. According to Entity-173-1, if one's sins are too great, it will kill the confessor himself. Even gods may be killed by it. This description remains unverified, as no one has tested it. [Level 4 Clearance Required] Later, this entity was used during containment breach incidents by Exusiai, Entity-173-1 and a current member of Mobile Task Force Omega-7 Pandora's Box, to lure certain dangerous entities into confessing and erase their sins. The result was that all dangerous entities died directly because of their sins, erased by an immensely powerful and unknown force. It appeared that only true death could absolve their sins, and after Time Reset, the erased individuals no longer reappeared. All members of the O5 Council are strictly forbidden from asking 173-1 to summon this entity to absolve the sins in their own hearts, lest irreparable losses occur.
After a friendly conversation,
Jin Li confessed to Old Bones about his sin of constantly wanting to die. Then a flash of light swept over him.
The furrow between his brows finally eased. It was far more effective than any medicine.
After all that was done, an accident occurred.
Jin Li was immediately taken away by heavily armored Mobile Task Force personnel. Although she did not understand why,
the negotiations that followed were conducted entirely through a D-Class personnel member who brought her a communicator, allowing them to speak remotely.
The people on the other end of the negotiations directly took over the facility and gave Xiao Huasheng a choice.
First, she could be contained. If she attempted to breach containment again, the Foundation would initiate an execution plan.
Second, she could join the Mobile Task Force and work for the Foundation, suppressing the increasingly frequent containment breaches across the world. In exchange, the Foundation would fulfill most of her requests.
Xiao Huasheng did not need to think about it. She immediately chose the second option.
Or rather, the Foundation had plainly intended for her to choose the second option.
Just like that, Xiao Huasheng became a little Angel with an official position.
After taking her measurements, including her bust, waist, hips, and height, she received a uniform a few days later.
When the brand-new MTF combat uniform was delivered to Xiao Huasheng, the red-haired Angel's eyes instantly lit up.
"Such a cool outfit! Is this specially tailored?" She excitedly shook open the uniform, impatiently inspecting every detail as though unwrapping a gift.
The pitch-black tactical jacket had a clean, sharp cut, with the Omega-7 "Pandora's Box" insignia printed on the shoulders.
The insignia was a box with an eye in the center, with an additional hand above it holding up a U-shaped symbol.
The lining was made of highly resilient bulletproof fibers. It felt cool and smooth to the touch, yet it could withstand fatal attacks at critical moments. Of course, the clothes were definitely not tougher than she was.
A multifunctional toolkit hung from the belt buckle, while a dessert box was reserved at the side for candy and other sweet snacks. Clearly, the Foundation had prepared it after noticing that she ate desserts all day long.
Xiao Huasheng changed into the uniform in just a few motions, then spun around in front of the mirror. Her red hair was tied into a small braid at the side, making her look playful and adorable as the strands gently swayed with her movements.
She tilted her head and examined herself, then suddenly grinned.
"Does changing my hairstyle count as becoming an alternate version?"
If there was anything still missing, it was probably white stockings.
After changing in the locker room, the C-Class personnel responsible for coordinating with her handed over her new employee badge and clearance card:
Exusiai (Entity-173-1) Affiliation: MTF Omega-7 Clearance Level: 3
She held the thin card between her fingers, gently brushing the embossed golden lettering with her fingertips as she muttered,
"Really fine workmanship."
Xiao Huasheng's already petite figure looked even slimmer beneath the oversized tactical jacket.
She was incredibly pleasing to the eye.
For a moment, the C-Class personnel was stunned by her adorable appearance.
If it were not for her previous deeds, she truly would have seemed like an exceptionally cute beauty.
Shaking his head and pulling his gaze away from the beautiful Angel, the C-Class personnel took out a letter.
"There's also a letter. Please keep it safe."
"Thank you." She accepted it with a nod, while the C-Class personnel waved goodbye.
Looking at the letter, Xiao Huasheng slowly opened it and read.
[Assessment time: Expected at 3:00 PM on 20/__/__.]
After seeing the specific time, she put the envelope away, full of curiosity.
According to the notice issued from above, it seemed she would have to wait a while and pass an assessment before she could join this Mobile Task Force.
That made Xiao Huasheng curious. What kind of Mobile Task Force still needed to assess her again?
After wandering around the facility for several days, she gradually became a familiar face among the researchers there.
Although there were still many places she could not enter, and people were assigned to watch over her,
the places she frequented most were the cafeteria and the staff rest area.
Whenever she had nothing to do, she played games, then ate like crazy.
For a single meal, she would not stop until she had eaten all the food in the cafeteria. Even so much food was merely a drop in the bucket.
The fact that she was a total glutton was even written into her file.
Unlike the energy bars used by the Astartes, she always had to eat a great deal of ordinary food to slowly recover her energy.
Xiao Huasheng's daily baseline consumption was ten units of energy.
One unit of energy was 26,000,000 kilocalories, or 2.6 × 10^7 calories.
And ten units of energy was an even more astronomical figure.
If converted into explosives, one could better understand just how much energy that represented.
1 ton of TNT ≈ 4.184 × 10^9 joules ≈ 10^6 kilocalories
That meant the energy Xiao Huasheng consumed was equivalent to twenty-six tons of TNT.
And ten units of energy only amounted to 0.5% of her current energy bar.
From this, it was clear that the claim that she contained the energy of an atomic bomb was no joke.
"Should I just try eating explosives?" Xiao Huasheng muttered, such a thought popping into her head.
Eating iron could not replenish her energy, so perhaps other things could?
As for having a huge stomach, Xiao Huasheng truly had one in this life.
Do you want to eat everything? Even Angela could not help complaining.
Just as she was about to eat the facility's food supply into utter misery,
her assessment finally arrived...
The facility's cooks cheered joyfully, thanking the glutton for leaving.
They had not gotten a good night's sleep these past few days.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Foundation liaison arranged for her to be transported away by helicopter.
As the helicopter landed,
a B-Class personnel member led her to an open area in the suburbs and said,
"As long as you can gain the examiner's approval, you'll pass the assessment."
After saying that, he left the scene.
It was a wide, open clearing, with forest farther away. It definitely counted as a place rarely visited by people.
The next moment, before Xiao Huasheng could react,
an incredibly sharp streak of light slashed directly from her face all the way down to her crotch! An ordinary person would have been split in two on the spot!
With a ripping sound,
the clothes Xiao Huasheng had just received were sliced into two, slowly slipping down to either side.
They fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
All that remained was her bewildered and helpless expression.
"Do all of you have some grudge against my clothes?" She could not hold it in any longer and shouted.
Once again, she faced the world with complete honesty.
"Your strength is decent, but it's not enough." At that moment, a cold voice spoke as another anomalous entity slowly addressed her.
