I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

██ Advisor: Open it up and take a look.

H1 hands the camera to H2 and is about to open the wallet.

H4 (slight tremolo): Here it comes, up front!

The picture shakes, H2 points the camera at the stairs below, a face without mouth, nose and pupils appears in the darkness, only two meters away from the exploration team, it is SCP-087-1, I do not know when it appeared over there.

H1 quickly drew the Colt and fired three shots, each hitting the gray face without hurting it a bit.

SCP-087-1 looked at the camera in H1's hand. It didn't seem to be looking at the members of the exploration team, but was looking at the people in the monitoring room through the camera.

After a few seconds, it faded into darkness again.

██ Advisor: Did you see, it seemed to be looking at me just now, but it dared to look at me, hey——I'm a little grumpy, I [DATA EXPUNGED]!

Dr. ██: Counselor, please calm down, H1, if there is nothing else unusual, please move on.

The exploration team went down for another two hours. They have walked more than 500 steps. It is conservatively estimated that they are already 2 kilometers underground.

This is already beyond the height that a normal building should have, but they are still not in the end.

The cry for help still sounded faintly.

During this period, they conducted another replenishment.

What is worrying is that all five players have symptoms of heart palpitations.

Among them, H5 is the most serious, and it is necessary to hold on to the handrail of the stairs to move on.

██ Advisor: Possibly affected by SCP-087-1, return?

H5: No need.

██ Advisor: I trust your judgment, please request return at any time you deem appropriate.

H5: Yes!

The exploration team went down another three steps.

H3: Report, I feel the sound source approaching!The distance between us and it has been shortened, within 150 meters!

Counselor ██: Very good, stay alert and move on.

After advancing for another 30 minutes, the exploration team came to the 610th floor, which was about 2.5 kilometers from the ground.

H1 (slightly excited): report, we seem to have reached the end!There is a door ahead, and the remaining two bloody footprints disappeared at the door. The cry for help came from behind the door. Shall we open that door?

In the picture, there is a wooden door at the end of the stairwell, and there are no more stairs to go down. Obviously, the downward part of SCP087 has ended.

The edge of the wooden door is a bit corrupted, but the main body is intact. There are many scratches in the center, like fingernails. There are bloodstains on the edge of the scratches, which is very old. It is speculated that it should be left by D9981 during exploration.

The door was locked with a bronze lock, and the surface of the copper lock was covered with green patina, and I don't know how many years it has gone through.

██ Consultant: H1, now I would like to trouble you and your team members to repair on the spot and turn on the safety of the firearms. Next, you may not have time to rest.

The exploration team rested for 5 minutes, and all team members drank some water, but did not eat.

H1: Report, all staff have finished trimming.

██ Advisor: Stay alert, open the door.

H1, H2, H4, and H5 took a few steps back, used the handrail of the stairs as a cover, held submachine guns, and aimed at the door.

H3 took out the small hydraulic pliers and cut off the copper lock.

After the copper lock was broken, there was a sound of "呲——" behind the door, and white mist emerged from the gap in the door. At the same time, the cry for help inside disappeared.

H3 paused for a few seconds, confirmed that there was no other danger, pulled the handle, and opened the door.

The inside of the door was pitch black, and the lighting equipment could not illuminate farther. It should be made of the same light-absorbing material as the stairwell. H3 took out a small LED light and threw it in.

The LED lights can only illuminate a range of a few meters, and the space inside does not know how big it is.

H1: Counselor, application for entry into exploration.

██ Advisor: Agreed, please be careful and play by ear.

The exploration team took cover alternately and entered the door one by one. Inside the door was a corridor with a width of about five meters.

There are ropes hanging from above on both sides of the corridor. Most of the ropes are rotten, and there are puppets hanging there.

The poses of those puppets are the same as the humanoid objects in the cave, with their backs facing the sky, and they have no facial features.

██ Advisor: It seems to be some kind of ritual, everyone be careful.

The exploration team advanced about 50 meters in the corridor.

H2: Look!what is that?

In the picture, two people are hung in the air and mixed with other puppets. The only difference is that they are wearing clothes.

H3 and H4 untie them from the rope, and they are two of the four missing students.

H3: Report, they are still alive!

Dr. ██: Well done.

██ Advisor: Stay safe.

Bang bang bang, three gunshots sounded off the screen.

H2: Here it comes, SCP-087-01, that face, it has been following us!

H1: Alert!

Several team members stood back to back and surrounded the two students.

H5: The puppets around seem to be moving!

The camera shakes sharply, H5 takes the camera and scans around, and the puppets that were originally suspended by ropes float up one by one.

██ Advisor: Stop exploring, retreat now!

【DATA EXPUNGED】

H2: That face, here it comes!

bang bang bang-

Gunfire continued.

██ Advisor: Throw away all loads, including the video camera, and only keep the headset and flashlight!You can't fight them!

H1：H5开路，H3、H4带上两名学生，H2随我断后！

Countless puppets rushed forward.

The earphone of H5 fell in the confusion, and the little boy's cry for help came again, the sound was very close, as if it was at the other end of the corridor.

The camera was thrown on the ground, and SCP-087-01, that is, the face, came to the front of the camera, and he stared straight at the camera, as if he could see the person behind the lens.

The screen is interrupted.

【DATA EXPUNGED】

Consultant ██ (whispering softly): Hiss—how did I feel like I heard that little boy's voice before.

Dr. ██: What?

██ Advisor: Nothing, I said that face is so arrogant, always looking at me, I will beat it up sooner or later.

【DATA EXPUNGED】

appendix:

Ten hours later, with the help of the responders, five exploration team members walked out of SCP-10 with two survivors.

During the battle with the puppets, H1 suffered severe chest and abdomen injuries, H2 suffered a broken leg, and H5 suffered from catatonia, which lasted for a month.

Two survivors suffered severe brain damage and ended up in a vegetable state with no way of knowing what happened to them.

The Foundation has updated information regarding SCP-087.

SCP-087 has a total of 610 platforms and is about 2.5 kilometers deep. There is a door at the bottom of it.

The length of the corridor behind the door cannot be estimated. It is unknown whether there is a larger space connected thereafter, and the purpose of the puppet is unknown.

The source of the call for help is still unknown.

A week later, the SCP Foundation again sealed off the entrance to SCP-087.

Appendix 2:

This was not the last time the Foundation explored SCP087, the ██ consultant entered again the next day and destroyed the exploration records for unknown reasons - Dr. ██.

I just went in, you bite me - Counselor ██.

Chapter 13 Exploration VI Destroyed

Exploration VI records destroyed.

Exploration personnel: ██ consultant, male, ██ years old, Chinese descent, medium build, slightly antisocial personality, loves to talk trash. Dr. ██, female, ██ years old, thin build, had been treated for malnutrition.

The two were equipped with a 500-watt searchlight capable of maintaining power for 72 hours, a backpack containing two bottles of water, several nutritional supplements, a rope, a pack of melon seeds, and a Colt pistol. They did not carry any video equipment.

██ Consultant: Doctor █, do you need to record it so carefully? What kind of slightly antisocial personality, loves to talk trash, be careful I will sue you for defamation.

Dr. ██: Why did you sneak here in the middle of the night?

██ Advisor: If I told you that I heard the voice of that little boy calling for help in a dream, would you believe it?

Dr. ██: Not sure.

Consultant ██ (spreading hands): Then there is nothing to say.

Dr. ██: I will report your actions to the Foundation.

██ Consultant: Whatever you want, anyway, when I was in school, there were many girls calling me small reports, so I got used to it.

Dr. ██: That's because you've loved doing outrageous things since you were a kid.

All the way down to the tenth platform, the little boy called for help, and the ██ consultant listened attentively.

It was dark all around, Advisor ██ did not speak, and the entire stairwell fell silent.

Dr. ██ involuntarily moves closer to Advisor ██.

██ Advisor: What, are you scared?

Dr. ██: None.

██ Advisor: Wow, it's really enviable to be so brave, then let me tell you a ghost story——

Dr. ██: No!

██ Advisor (laughing arrogantly): Hahahaha——

Dr. ██ (frowning): I doubt why you weren't beaten to death by the side of the road.

██ Advisor: You can ask the Annihilation ██ Joint Committee and the Anti-██ Volunteer Alliance about this kind of thing. It’s not a day or two since they tried to kill me. Unfortunately, they fail every time. After all, no matter how cunning a hunter is, he can fight But what a fox.

Dr. ██: Why am I not surprised to hear about these two groups?

██ Advisor: Maybe you can join them.

Dr. ██: That's really an honor.

Keep going down.

Unlike the previous explorers, Advisor ██'s footsteps were brisk, as if he was traveling along the way, and he didn't seem to care about the danger below.

When they reached the 100th floor, the two stopped to rest.

Dr. ██ (holding the flashlight tightly): Are you really not afraid?

██ Advisor: I can tell you this, because of my genetics, I am not naturally sensitive to the emotion of fear.

Dr. ██ (sighs): In a way, you're a good fit for the Foundation.

██ Advisor: I can teach you a simple but effective method on how to overcome fear.

Dr. ██ (serious expression): What?
