SCP-049's Utterly Repulsive Surgery, and the Cowardly Kibutsuji Muzan!
All around them stood more than a dozen youths wearing animal masks.
"Sabito-senior!"
Giyu Tomioka's soul could not help calling out when he saw the youth at the front. "So you've never left us!"
"I..."
Giyu Tomioka's soul had just wanted to say something.
But he discovered that his soul had already begun cracking apart inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, countless fissures spread across his entire body, and then it shattered completely, dissolving into nothingness between heaven and earth.
Tanjiro's situation was much the same.
He had only just seen the souls of his family and had not even had time to greet them before they likewise dissolved into nothingness between heaven and earth!
The viewers in the livestream could not help sighing when they saw this scene. A conceptual erasure skill.
It was truly formidable!
With a single finger, it had not only ended their lives but had also turned their souls into nothingness.
It had completely erased every trace of their existence from the world.
Just when they thought the matter was over, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's hoarse voice rang out again. "You are also carriers of the plague!"
"You must receive treatment as well!"
As he spoke, he pointed toward the souls of Sabito, Makomo, and the other masked youths, as well as Tanjiro's family. With SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's gentle tap...
Under the bewildered gazes of the countless souls,
their souls began to slowly crumble. Within a few breaths, they dissolved into nothingness between heaven and earth.
Everyone in the livestream felt their scalps prickle when they saw this.
They could not help wondering: What exactly was this damn "plague"?
Why were even souls judged by SCP-049 the Plague Doctor to be carriers of the "plague," and then killed by SCP-049?
Could SCP-049 the Plague Doctor actually be insane?
After all, no sane person could do something like this.
This was simply too much!
[Sengoku: What on earth is this "plague"? I seriously suspect now that the plague is merely an excuse SCP-049 uses to kill people!]
[Caesar: I think so too!]
[Orochimaru: No. I believe the "plague" he speaks of really exists. But SCP-049 has clearly gone insane. It can no longer distinguish what is and isn't a plague!]
[That is why it displays all these behaviors!]
[Aizen: That medical attack method is somewhat like the Quincies. But it's far more powerful than the Quincies!]
[Monster King Orochi: What a pity! Meow Meow was carrying a large number of Monster Cells. If Giyu Tomioka had taken them, he probably could have grown into a peak Dragon-level monster!]
[Of course, if anyone here wants Monster Cells, you can contact me!]
[I'll give them away for free!]
[Tatsumaki: I've almost located your lair. Wait for death!]
[Monster King Orochi: I'm looking forward to personally feeding you Monster Cells!]
[Luffy: Are we going to war on all fronts? @Tatsumaki, good luck!]
[Tatsumaki: Don't worry! I'll definitely crush Monster King Orochi, that piece of trash!]
[...]
While everyone in the livestream was discussing what SCP-049 meant by "plague," SCP-049 on the screen seemed to have fallen into some kind of emotion...
It looked at the corpses of Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, and began sighing heavily.
Chapter Thirty-Eight: SCP-049's Utterly Disgusting Surgery and the Cowardly Muzan Kibutsuji!
On the livestream screen, after SCP-049 the Plague Doctor erased Tanjiro and the others, it did not leave. Instead, it stood beside their corpses and kept muttering to itself in an angry voice:
"Plague! It must be treated!"
"I must find a way to treat the plague perfectly!"
"This is my responsibility!"
"You have all been infected with the plague, so you must be treated. Otherwise, the plague will use you as carriers and infect even more people!"
As it continued speaking, the anger in SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's voice gradually faded.
About three or four minutes later, the anger in SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's voice had completely vanished. In its place was deep frustration and regret.
It crouched down, looked at the corpses of Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, and slowly said, "I'm sorry. I was incompetent!"
"I haven't been able to find a perfect way to treat the plague after all this time!"
"I had no choice but to erase you to prevent the plague from spreading!"
"You should be able to understand my predicament!"
As it spoke, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor took surgical tools from the medical bag it carried close to its body and continued in a frustrated voice:
"But it doesn't matter. I'll find a perfect way to treat the plague eventually!"
"As a doctor, I can preserve your bodies properly!"
"Believe me!"
"Once I find a perfect way to treat the plague, I'll definitely revive you!"
As SCP-049 the Plague Doctor spoke, the surgical tools it had taken out already covered the entire ground. Among them was even an Operating Table two meters long and 1.5 meters wide.
The viewers in the livestream stared wide-eyed.
They wondered what exactly was inside that toolkit. Did it contain an independent space? Otherwise, how could it possibly hold so many surgical tools?
Also, weren't these surgical tools a little too filthy?
Not only were they already rusty, but some of them still had dried blood and fragments of internal organs clinging to them.
While everyone was complaining, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor began performing its "surgery."
And then...
The viewers in the livestream saw a scene they never wanted to remember for the rest of their lives. They were all figures standing at the pinnacles of their respective worlds and had long since grown accustomed to slaughter.
Some powerhouses could even feast amid a mountain of corpses without so much as frowning.
But after seeing SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's surgical process, they had to admit that they had been too naïve.
They should never have been so confident in their mental resilience!
It was too disgusting!
This disgust was not merely a visual shock. It was a strange sensation originating from the depths of their souls. As long as they saw the surgical scene, even when SCP-049 casually...
waved an arm, they still felt overwhelmingly sick!
This was practically a weapon of causality.
[Monster King Orochi: Isn't this way too disgusting? Since I inherited the world consciousness and became a monster, this is the first time I've ever vomited!]
[Tatsumaki: Urgh! Big Sis can't take it. I'm logging off!]
[Orochimaru: This surgical process is far too crude. It has the nerve to call itself a doctor? I'm going out to clear my head!]
[Shizune: Lady Tsunade! What's wrong? Don't scare me! Wake up, quick!]
[Jiraiya: @Shizune! Tell me where you are and I'll come find you! Also, my book has been published. Aside from the debt I still owe Tsunade, I have quite a few copies left! I'll send them over! It should be enough to keep Tsunade gambling for a while!]
[Atomic Samurai: So Jiraiya is a simp!]
[Inugami: @Atomic Samurai, are you looking down on dogs?]
[Shizune: @Jiraiya, check your private messages!]
[Angle: You can also send me your address via private message!]
[...]
Inside Yanhuang Academy!
A group of Super Soldiers vomited until their faces turned pale.
Even Rose, a battle-hardened warrior, could not help vomiting violently after seeing such a disgusting scene!
Not to mention ordinary people like Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, and Rui Mengmeng...
They vomited so badly that they could no longer tell which way was up.
Only Qilin barely held on. It was not because her mental endurance was extraordinarily strong, but because after spending a night with Jiang Chen, she had naturally developed resistance to Containment Objects.
It truly was not that their mental resilience was lacking. The scene was simply too disgusting. It had already reached the limit of what anyone could endure!
It was not only the Super Soldiers of Yanhuang Academy. Pan Zhen of Liyang Star, Holy Kesha of Angel Nebula, Morgana of Demon Castle... all of them had begun vomiting uncontrollably after seeing this disgust that surpassed the limits!
Even their divine bodies, which had already been upgraded to the fourth generation, could not withstand it.
At the same time, everyone cursed inwardly!
SCP-049 the Plague Doctor, did you really have the nerve to call yourself a doctor?
Your methods were so crude!
Even a butcher had far more refined skills than you.
How was this any different from slaughtering animals?
While everyone vomited and complained, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor finally completed the "surgery." Then, from beneath its bird-beak mask came a slightly pleased voice:
"Although the process was still somewhat crude, the surgery was highly successful."
"My treatment really worked!"
"Although it isn't perfect yet, I can consider it a success. I completely removed the plague from their bodies!"
"And I preserved their corpses as well!"
"I'm truly a genius!"
Hearing SCP-049 the Plague Doctor's words, everyone in the livestream was at a loss for words.
You call this "somewhat crude"?
This was beyond ridiculous!
Of course, aside from complaining, what interested them most was whether Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, who had been "treated," would "revive" as SCP-049-2, just as the records described!
Under the viewers' watchful eyes, Tanjiro, Giyu Tomioka, and Nezuko, who had already been erased conceptually by SCP-049 the Plague Doctor,
actually staggered to their feet.
Their bodies were also extremely agile, completely unlike the shambling corpses in zombie films. If not for the hideous scars and hollow gazes on their bodies,
no one would have imagined that the three of them had already been transformed into SCP-049-2 by SCP-049 the Plague Doctor.
SCP-049 the Plague Doctor was very satisfied with its work.
After admiring it for a while, it slowly said, "All right. The plague here has been cured!"
"But I have a feeling that there are many more patients at the foot of the Mountain who need treatment!"
"I can already smell that detestable scent of the plague."
At this point, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor paused, then continued, "Come with me to treat the plague!"
"Let's go!"
After saying that, SCP-049 the Plague Doctor led Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro, and Nezuko, who had become SCP-049-2,
toward the foot of the Mountain!
