Abomination Meets SCP-049

Two days have passed since the actions of Arkham, the Esoteric Order of Dagon, and the Foundation.

All the teams gathered in the city of Tuoji, placing their hands on the path leading to the Pestilence -infected town.

To prevent the Abomination Ghostly Tales from spiraling out of control and posing an even greater threat to the city.

As for entering the town now, we should look for any possible survivors.

That's completely unnecessary. We don't know the situation in the town right now. If we get infected after entering, we'll be in big trouble.

Only after the ghost story ends can we enter and conduct a cleanup and investigation.

However, they have been out of contact with the town for two days, and no one knows when the Abomination will appear or when it will end.

That afternoon, a layer of grayish-yellow fog suddenly rolled into the sky over the town.

Seeing this unusual change, according to previous records, this was a manifestation of Abomination.

The Abomination finally appeared, and everyone guarding the passage became even more tense.

If the Abomination, after devouring the townspeople, then advance into the cities, it's uncertain whether they will survive.

Just as they were feeling uneasy, in the small town...

A massive figure, as huge as a mountain of flesh, emerged from the mist into the town.

"Hiss hiss hiss~".

"Welcome home... I've come to pick you up."

A decaying vitality began to spread through the town.

All the corpses were given a new life, becoming Undead and coming back to life.

They begin to walk towards Abomination, waiting to be devoured by Abomination.

Become a part of him.

However, a group of resurrected corpses appeared in the Abomination's field of vision, but instead of walking towards him, they remained where they were.

Don't you want to go home?

Abomination the surface of the skin, and one by one, the faces that appeared spoke in unison.

But those who were resurrected did not react at all.

"You... do not belong to me."

Abomination then discovered the unusual nature of these resurrected corpses.

It is not resurrected from decaying life.

At that moment, a Plague Doctor, who was much thinner than the Abomination and wore a leather coat and a bird-beak mask, emerged from behind the group of unusually resurrected corpses.

"Oh my goodness, sir, madam, you—no, I should call you all—are truly magnificent."

The figure before him was filled with Abomination: "You are one of those Plague Doctor, no, you are different from them. These people were resurrected by you?"

Despite its ugly, dull, and bloated appearance, Abomination is at its core a collection of the consciousness of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of living beings.

To put it more elegantly, Abomination is a scholar.

So while he simply brought disaster, he was also very interested in this special individual.

"That's right, I cured them all."

"I suppose you're a doctor too? You cured these people as well, although your technique is different from mine."

The Plague Doctor pointed to the corpses that had been transformed into Undead.

"Are you sure you're cured? They're still not human, those things wrapped around you."

The Abomination formed from corpses knows better than anyone that those corpses are still mindless, unfeeling beings.

"Yes, my treatment isn't Perfect yet, but that takes time and requires more experiments."

"Perhaps we can exchange ideas and improve each other's skills?"

"By the way, I'm looking for the ' Pestilence,' and I feel you should know something about it, after all, you're a great doctor like me."

Despite the horrific Abomination he faced, the Pestilence Doctor remained so calm when he did not see what he considered to be ' Pestilence '.

"Hahaha, Pestilence, I am the embodiment of the Pestilence. If you're not referring to me, then I suppose it must be another kind of ' Pestilence '."

Hearing the words of Abomination, the Pestilence Doctor seemed somewhat excited for the first time.

"So you do know about it. I knew it. I'm going to eradicate it. That's my biggest goal as a doctor. Can we talk about it?"

"No, I don't know it. I only know the concept of it, and I am the embodiment of the Pestilence. Forgive me, I'm powerless to help. But if we're talking, you're welcome to join us. I think you can get what you want from it."

A huge slit opened up in the Abomination's belly, and dozens of fair hands reached out from it.

The Pestilence Doctor seemed a little frustrated:

"I haven't achieved my goals as a doctor yet, so I don't have any plans to do so for the time being."

The Abomination did not forcefully drag the Plague Doctor into it.

"Then I wish you success in achieving your goal soon."

The Pestilence Doctor continued to ask:

"Could we discuss other aspects? Perhaps that would be helpful to both of us."

"Yes, I'm very interested in your existence."

As the creator, Shen Hui witnessed the encounter between Abomination and SCP-049, the Pestilence Doctor.

It was quite unexpected that they were communicating so peacefully.

Moreover, judging from their appearances, they seem capable of creating something special.

Is this a clash of different worldviews?

"Let's call it a day. If we have the chance to meet again, I think we can continue our conversation."

The corpses in the town had all gathered on the body of the Abomination.

He was also preparing to leave.

The Pestilence Doctor, who had been sitting on the ground, also stood up.

He bowed politely, placing his left hand on his chest.

"It's been a very pleasant day. I've learned a lot from talking with you, and I can't wait to start the experiment."

"Looking forward to our next meeting. Would you like these people?"

The Pestilence Doctor pointed to those who had been cured.

"No, I don't want it."

The black mist swept in, enveloping the Abomination had grown even larger once more, and it vanished.

The entire town fell silent, save for the Pestilence Doctor and the "people" he had cured.

The various organizations outside the town noticed that the fog in the sky had disappeared.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

The ghost story has disappeared; the other side did not invade the city.

This also averted a battle that might have been unwinnable.

Next, it's time to deal with the aftermath in the town.

This concerns the Plague Doctor organization within the city guard.

The Potions from Esoteric Order of Dagon left immediately.

However, the Foundation's task force did not leave.

"I heard that other things happened in the town during the period when the Abomination tales appeared; it might be another supernatural event."

"We need to investigate this matter."

The assembled Plague Doctor and Foundation began their march into the town.

When they arrived in the town, the air was filled with the stench of blood and burnt flesh.

Disgusting.

However, no bodies were seen on the street, which was expected.

When a tale of Abomination appears, it always takes away all the corpses.

But when they reached the town square, they were stunned.

There was a group of people ahead, which was very unusual, especially since it happened after the ghost story had disappeared.

And they soon discovered that these people were so listless, like zombies.

The task force reacted immediately, all raising their guns and aiming.

Then, at that moment, a Plague Doctor stepped out from the group.

"Oh, damn it! Someone in your group has been infected with the ' Pestilence '!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the group of stunned people seemed to be enraged.

They began rushing towards the task force and the city guard's Plague Doctor who were preparing to clear the town.
