I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 421 Broken Iron Chain

Yang Xue opened her eyes, and what she saw was a pitch-black sky.

Yes, the sky was pitch black, with no sun, no stars, no moon, no light source of any kind.

But strangely, she was able to see the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, she was lying on a raised rock.

She sat up slowly, rubbing her temples with her hands.

Her head was dizzy and her body felt light.

She felt as if she had lost her memory.

Her memory is still at the bottom of the sea, and she doesn't know why she appeared here.

The diving suit on her body also disappeared, and what she was wearing now turned out to be the white coat she used for her own experiments.

How is this going?

Where is this again?

Yang Xue regained her spirits and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Except for a dark sky, what she stepped on seemed to be a salt pan.

As far as the eye can see, there are large brown stones everywhere, with a layer of white powder deposited on them.

She looked through her belongings, but unfortunately, she didn't find such things as watches and mobile phones.

Not only did she not know where she was, she didn't even know the time.

There is no way but to take one step at a time.

Yang Xue is not a person who just sits and waits to die. She sat on the rock to rest for a while, and then chose a direction to move forward.

It's better to die of exhaustion than to sit there dying of thirst and starvation.

The entire Yantian stretched as far as the eye can see, Yang Xue kept the same speed, counted by her pulse, she had walked for at least an hour, but the surrounding scenery did not change significantly.

Without a reference, she couldn't tell whether she was walking in a straight line or circled in place.

One thing is certain, that is, it is very, very large.

She can now be sure that in this place, she can't get out at all.

However, after so many things,

Her heart has become very strong, and she will not give up until the last moment.

Her pulse counts had been getting farther and farther from the long walks, but she still took breaks every hour or so.

It is conservatively estimated that she has walked dozens of kilometers.

If it was replaced by someone else, it might have collapsed.

But Yang Xue didn't.

Because she knew that if Zhang Jue was here, he would definitely not be like that.

So she effectively allocated her physical strength to keep herself in a state above the standard.

But strangely, she didn't seem as tired as she thought.

She didn't even feel thirsty, she didn't know why, but it was a good thing.

About ten minutes later, she was on her way again.

I don't know how long I walked, but the scenery finally changed.

Not far ahead, there seemed to be several huge stone pillars.

Yang Xue was overjoyed and hurried over.

When they got closer, Yang Xue could see their whole picture clearly.

There are seven stone pillars in total, with a diameter of about one meter and a height of about six or seven meters.

They formed a circle with a diameter of about ten meters according to a specific arrangement.

Seven huge stone pillars are buried deep in the ground, and it is unknown who did it.

The pillars are made of a sort of marble, and are carved with many puzzling reliefs.

Yang Xue is relatively knowledgeable, but the artistic style of these reliefs does not match any known modern, historical or prehistoric civilizations, and they should not be carved by humans.

Standing in the center of the seven stone pillars, she suddenly felt dizzy when she saw the patterns on those stone pillars.

At this moment, the rock under his feet made a crackling sound and was cracking.

Then, like a broken eggshell, it collapsed inward.

Yang Xue didn't even have time to make a cry, she fell in.

Below is an even larger spherical space.

Yang Xue instinctively closed her eyes, thinking that she would keep falling, but in fact she didn't.

She was suspended in mid-air without moving.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, and was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Below her was an extremely huge obese humanoid monster, whose height could not be estimated. It was speculated that it was at least hundreds of kilometers away. Yang Xue couldn't see its lower body at all.

It has three horns on its head, and its whole body is covered by numerous overlapping flaky scales.

There are seven heavy hooks embedded in the back of this humanoid monster, and each hook is connected to the lower ends of the seven pillars at the top of the space with an iron cable.

It is worth noting that among the seven iron chains, six have been disconnected from the stone pillars above, leaving only one crumbling.

At this moment, Yang Xue was hovering directly above his head.

She didn't know what this humanoid monster was, nor where she was, but the six broken chains gave her a very bad premonition.

Yang Xue tried to twist her body, but found that she could move freely in the air.

So she drove to the junction of the seventh iron chain.

But before she could pass by, suddenly, a huge clicking sound came from the air.

The seventh iron chain was also broken from the body of the humanoid monster.

At this moment, Yang Xue felt a huge coercion coming from all directions, making her breathless.

She vomited a mouthful of blood and felt her body was about to be crushed.

Her thinking began to slack, and her vision began to blur.

One second before she lost consciousness, she saw the huge humanoid monster and slowly opened her eyes.

...

"Didi" siren sounded, and Yang Xue opened her eyes again.

There was still darkness in front of her eyes, and she was wearing a high-pressure diving suit, and she had fallen into the deep sea.

The pressure of the sea water is getting higher and higher, and it is about to exceed the threshold that the diving suit can withstand.

Had it been a few seconds later, she might never have woken up.

Could it be that the scene just now was just a dream she had?

But that dream was too real.

Yang Xue knows that people can't dream of things that they don't know, but now she has no time to think about them.

The sirens were getting louder and louder, and she had to hurry up.

However, just as she was about to move, she found that her body was out of control.

Working underwater for a long time, and experiencing coma and high pressure, her body has reached its limit.

Although her consciousness is still clear, her movements have changed shape. She struggled to swim upstream, but she was spinning in circles.

What's more terrible is that there seems to be an undercurrent from the bottom of the sea surging over, bringing her body around.

Yang Xue felt a sweetness in her chest, knowing that her internal organs had been injured.

The siren of the diving suit was still beeping violently, and there was not much oxygen left.

It seems that there is really no other way.

Yang Xue finally smiled.

Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly felt his body float up quickly.

She looked back with difficulty, only to see a huge silver-white monster pressing against her back, pushing her to the sea level.

It is Ananda Shesha!

It is saving itself!

Yang Xue suddenly realized.

During the journey just now, she was not dreaming, but an illusion cast on her by Ananda Shesha.

It was trying to tell her what was going to happen in this way!

Perhaps it used its own ability to let some people throw themselves into the sea in order to attract the attention of the Authority.

3000 pushed her all the way up, and soon came near the sea level.

The speed gradually slowed down.

If the ascent speed is too fast and the pressure difference is too large, Yang Xue's body will not be able to bear it.

3000 pushed her back and sent her to a place tens of meters below sea level.

Here it can already be exposed to sunlight.

Going up further, Ananda Shesha will be injured.

As the pressure decreased, some functions of the diving suit had returned to normal, and Yang Xue's body was able to move.

She turned around and looked at Ananda Sheshan's huge head.

At this moment, 3000 has opened his eyes, and two huge pupils are staring at her, constantly turning.

Yang Xue seemed to understand what it meant, and spoke softly to it.

"I already know the message you want to convey, let's go back and stop it."

Yang Xue's voice was not loud and she was wearing protective clothing, but 3000 seemed to have heard her words and understood them.

It opened its mouth and let out a scream, its eyes stared at Yang Xue, turned around a few more times, and finally dived slowly into the deep sea.

Yang Xue looked at its gradually disappearing shadow and sighed.

The siren sounded again, and the oxygen she carried was only enough for ten minutes.

Yang Xue reluctantly dragged her tired body and gradually floated to the surface of the sea.

3000 could sense the location of the warship, so it sent Yang Xue to the vicinity.

The warship also sensed Ananda Shesha's movement, and was heading this way.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Xue was put on a splint.

The accompanying military doctor quickly gave Yang Xue oxygen, and did a simple check.

Yang Xue's internal organs were bleeding, but fortunately it was not serious.

Chief of Staff Brockton looked at Yang Xue: "Dr. Yang, you are the first person who sank to the bottom of the sea and came back again."

Yang Xue was lying on the stretcher, shaking her head slightly: "I'm just lucky. In addition, Colonel Brockton, please send me a boat. I have important information, and I need to report back to the headquarters and No. 1."

Brockton said: "Your body is not suitable for walking around at will."

Yang Xue coughed lightly: "Now I don't have to worry so much anymore."

After Yang Xue returned to the warship, she first informed No. 1 of everything that happened here through the satellite phone.

When I heard about the huge humanoid monster, No. 1 was silent for a long time, and only said: "You come back first."

With No. 1's attitude, Yang Xue was convinced that the administration must know the truth about the monster.

Yang Xue only took a simple recuperation and rushed back to the headquarters.

No. 1 summoned her immediately.

In No. 1's office, Yang Xue recounted what she had seen and heard in the illusion.

After listening to No. 1, he didn't say much, but made a phone call.

After a while, No. 13 opened the door and walked in.

No. 1 squeezed the space between his brows, as if he had a headache.

"For specific matters, the two of you should contact each other."

Responsibilities vary across the Authority's senior management system.

Except for No. 1 who knows all the secrets, the other twelve administrators are only responsible for their own part.

As for No. 13, most of them are mysterious existences.

"I already know what you reported to No. 1 before, and now you may go on a long trip." No. 13 looked at Yang Xue, "How is your body, can you still hold it?"

Yang Xue's face was a little pale, but she still nodded.

No. 13 glanced at her approvingly, took a pen from the table, wrote down an address in a notebook, tore it off and handed it to Yang Xue.

"This is the address of Area179. I'll send you a transfer order in a while. You go to check the situation first. I still have some things on hand. I'll go there as soon as I'm done."

In this way, Yang Xue only stayed at the headquarters for two hours before embarking on the journey again.

Only then did she understand why Zhang Jue liked being an otaku.

Running around is really tiring.

The Authority has many, many sites, large and small, and their functions vary.

For example, the site336 under Zhang Jue is the gathering place for all antimemetic projects.

In addition, the Authority will also set up separate stations for some important projects.

Area179 is one of them.

When it was established, all the staff inside only worked for one project - 2317.

2317 is actually a door, anyone who passes through this door will be transported to another parallel world.

It was a huge salt pan. There are seven pillars in the center of the salt field, yes, they are the seven pillars that Yang Xue saw.

Seven stone pillars formed a matrix. According to the detection of the Administration, below the matrix was a spherical space with a diameter of 100 kilometers, and there was a huge humanoid monster inside.

It is a primordial entity known as the Eater of Worlds.

When the Authority first discovered it, four of its seven chains were broken and three were intact.

After a period of time, the fifth chain broke, which directly led to a vicious event on the earth.

After the sixth chain broke, it led to many more events, which eventually killed 2 million people.

So far, only the last chain remains connected to it.

Anyone who knows 2317 knows that once the last chain is broken, mankind will suffer unprecedented disasters.

And 3000 predicted to Yang Xue in the illusion that the chain would break.

Yang Xueyu arrived at Area 179 that night, found the site supervisor with the transfer order No. 13, and told him about it.

After hearing Yang Xue's words, the supervisor smiled, as if he wasn't in a hurry.

"Dr. Yang Xue, thank you for bringing us this information, but you may not know much about it. Now we are conducting the 220-Casabasas procedure, and we have successfully prevented the breaking of the seventh chain."

The 220-Casabasas procedure is a specific sacrificial ceremony developed by the Authority, and its main function is to stabilize the shaky seventh chain.

It was the first time Yang Xue even heard about this project, so she didn't know about it at all.

Could it be that the Authority has already mastered the method of subduing that monster?

Then why did 3000 use such means to notify the administration?

Yang Xue was thinking, No. 13 opened the door and walked into the reception room.

"Director Randall, although I know this is cruel, but now, I'm afraid I have to tell you about it."

No. 13 sighed, "You have strictly implemented the 220-Casabasas procedure for many years, but it is actually a fake. The Administration has no way to prevent that from happening. The reason for doing this is just not to make everyone lose hope. That's all."
