I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

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 alarm sounded again, and the oxygen she carried was only enough for 10 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 rescued 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. [-]."

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. [-] of everything that happened here through the satellite phone.

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

With No. [-]'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. [-] summoned her immediately.

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

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

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

No. [-] 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. [-] who knows all the secrets, the other twelve administrators are only responsible for their own part.

Most of what NO.13 is responsible for are mysterious existences.

"I already know what you reported to No. 13 before, and now you may go on a long trip." NO.[-] 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 and 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.

The seven stone pillars formed a matrix. According to the detection by 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 200 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 of No. 13, and told him about it.

After hearing Yang Xue finished speaking, the supervisor smiled, as if he was not 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 Administration, 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."

Chapter 422 Seven Brides

Just finished writing, allow me to correct typos.

After NO.13 finished speaking, Director Randall lost his mind for a moment.

He picked his ears: "My lord, what did you just say? I may have misheard—"

NO.13 shook his head: "No, Director Randall, you heard me right, and I said right, the Casabasas program is indeed a fake."

Director Randall looked at NO.13 in horror: "My lord, why is this?"

He stopped in the middle of speaking, because he had already understood the meaning of NO.13.

……

The Administration has detained countless anomalous items, and has also mastered many lengthy and complicated rituals. No. 13 and the 220-Casabasas program mentioned by Director Randall are one of them.

These outlandish rituals are generally used to contain those who pose a threat to the Authority, humanity, and even the entire planet.

These projects are very powerful, so powerful that the Authority has to use this method to capture them.

Some of these ceremonies were even brutal, and blood sacrifices occurred from time to time, but the Authority had to.

For example, the arrest of 2845 (the stag) is like this.

2845 is an alien deer god who came across the stars. It is very aggressive towards humans. It can transform and rebuild matter at will, and it is powerful enough to destroy any physical containment measures.

Its only weakness is a bit of silliness.

Therefore, in order to take this divine deer into custody, the Authority had to perform cruel and grotesque rituals involving blood and sacrifices, and the purpose of all this was to deceive it into believing that humans were stronger than it—and only this ritual could do it.

Compared with the stupid Deer God, 2317 (The Devourer of Worlds) has no way to be deceived, and the Authority has no way to prevent the breaking of the seventh chain.

The so-called 220-Casabasas procedure was created by the Authority in order not to lose confidence in the staff responsible for the project.

There are magical elements, religious ritual elements, and fail-safe measures in this ceremony, and everything is so realistic.

But it's useless for capturing the giant humanoid monster, and its real purpose is to ease the group's anxiety until a more permanent solution is found.

That's it.

Some rituals are designed to deceive others, while others can only deceive oneself.

The employees of the Area179 site, who have worked so hard to execute the complicated procedures for so many years, turned out to be a scam.

Have to say, this is indeed a kind of sadness.

Director Randall slumped in his chair, unable to accept this reality for a while.

NO.13 patted him on the shoulder.

It is not an ordinary person who can become a site supervisor. After a while, he sat up again.
