Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow)

The clockwork Lamborghini's containment room was supposed to be the easiest place to find in the Omega Containment Center.

Because SCP539 is the real thing, a Lamborghini.

First of all, it is a sports car, and it also has some particularly troublesome abnormal properties, so that there must be a straight and unobstructed passage outside its containment room; but because it is a precious SCP item, naturally It cannot be parked carelessly in the parking lot—so, Site 7 specially laid a straight runway outside its containment room, and it leads all the way to an exclusive three-dimensional circular racing track.

It's just that when the Omega containment center is occupied by queen bees, those ubiquitous slime will naturally cause damage to the runway. Sunfish are worried along the way. Even if they find a clockwork Lamborghini, if the road conditions are really bad, Maybe it might be impossible to drive this car out of the Omega Containment Center...

Thinking of this, the poor sunfish suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself to be as optimistic as possible, not to think about the worst outcome before seeing the car.

After about 10 minutes, the five people found Clockwork Lamborghini's containment room.

In order to accommodate a sports car, the space here was more than twice as large as the ideal companion manual and antique jewelry box storage room they had been to before.

They quickly found the fiery red supercar in the goo-filled containment cell.

"My God, thank God!"

Sunfish almost knelt down to this luxury car.

"It's still here! How wonderful, how wonderful!"

"It's all right, kid, don't be too happy!"

The sea eagle reached out and slapped the sunfish on the back of the head.

"Think of a way to clear the way!"

He pointed at the criss-crossed goo that filled the room.

"Also, we have to start the car."

As he spoke, he paused, squeezed his throat, and added depressedly:

"Before leaving here, I have to figure out where I can get another SCP item!"

While the two people in the Sea God group were talking, Ji Thrush, relying on his body being the thinnest among these people, crawled in and out of the dense gel array like a monkey, studying the details of the room. structure.

Ji Xiaoniao remembers that on the floor plan of Site 7, Clockwork South Boghini’s containment room is at the end of the arc-shaped corridor on the first floor, one side is connected to the track specially built for supercars, and the other end is Directly facing the central open-air garden.

This shelter is actually equivalent to an independent indoor garage. For safety reasons, of course there are no windows on the side facing the garden.

However, the queen bee nest is so powerful that there are now few intact walls in the entire building.

Ji Thrush raised his head, and it didn't take long to find a gap in the wall. Then he clung to a nearby piece of glue, climbed to a height of one and a half meters from the ground, put his eyes in front of the gap, and looked out.

Seeing his own child like this, Ren Jianmo also jumped up twice.

"What are you looking at?"

He squeezed to Ji thrush and asked in a low voice.

"I'm looking for the queen bee."

Season Thrush replied.

At the same time, he gave way to the side, and gave half of his field of vision to Ren Damei, his fingertips pointing down:

"Also, I really want to know what's going on next."

Ren Jianmo moved his head closer, and the two of them were almost cheek-to-cheek, observing the deep pit through a slit the length of a finger.

"Look, those 'claws.'"

Ji Thrush looked at it and whispered softly:

"Those white-robed men never actually entered the pit...they just threw pieces of meat into the pit. Whenever a piece of meat was thrown into the pit, the compound eyes on the 'paw' closest to it would turn, and they Will go to check the pieces of meat, and pile them up into hills..."

Saying that, Ji Xiaoniao gently touched Ren Jianmo with his elbow.

"Thinking about it this way, these 'claws' are the real line of defense for the queen bee, preventing anything but food from getting close to it—even the 'worker bees' created by the queen bee herself."

He sighed softly:

"...It's quite difficult to get to the bottom of the pit!"

Ji Thrush felt that he had been rambling on for a long time, but he didn't hear a word from Ren Jianmo in response, so he simply stretched out his hand to hold the hand of the person around him, "What do you think?"

He didn't expect that what he touched was a wet and cold palm.

Ji Xiaoniao was startled, and quickly turned to look at Ren Jianmo.

He saw that Ren Jianmo's face turned pale as paper at some point, his lips could not see a trace of blood, big drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and his skin felt like wet ice.

Ji Thrush shuddered all over.

It had been a long time since he had seen his lover look so sickly and beautiful, and his heart skipped a beat in shock.

"How are you doing!?"

Ren Jianmo didn't answer, but just held Ji Thrush's hand back with slightly trembling fingers.

Ji Thrush was even more anxious, and he didn't know what was going on with Ren Damei, so he could only interlock his fingers with him, and asked again:

"How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Ren Jianmo shook his head lightly and slowly.

"Little bird..."

He said slowly with a volume almost breathless:

"I'm going down there."

Ji Thrush froze for a moment.

He wasn't even sure if he had heard wrong just now.

"Going down there?"

He paused, "You mean, go down to the bottom of the pit?"

This time, Ren Jianmo nodded decisively.

Ji Thrush: "..."

He did think about, if he could, he wanted to see if he could catch the queen bee.

But after some observations just now, he found that the difficulty of this plan was too great.

For starters, burrowing unnoticed to the bottom of a deep pit while avoiding the queen bee's eyeliner is inherently difficult.

In addition, they don't even know where the queen bee is under the pit. It is really not an easy task to find a bug with a body length of only a few centimeters under the stalking of hundreds of "claws"...

"I must go down."

Ren Jianmo repeated it again, with an unprecedentedly tough tone.

"Believe me!"

Ren Damei tightened her palms, and Ji Xiaoniao could clearly feel how cold his skin was.

"I have a reason to go down there!"

"What, are you going to that deep pit!?"

When Mo Tiangen heard Ji Thrush's words, his eyes almost popped out of the window, "Just kidding!"

He couldn't help raising the volume:

"Unless you can give me a reasonable explanation, I firmly disagree!"

Ji Thrush turned his head and glanced at Ren Jianmo.

He couldn't say that this was strongly demanded by Ren Damei, his family, and he refused to tell himself the reason.

Ren Jianmo looked back at Ji Thrush with a pair of pupils of different colors, and pursed his lips so shallowly that they were almost imperceptible.

"This one……"

Ji Thrush rolled his eyes and spotted the sea eagle and sunfish next to him. He was quick to pull out the pocket watch hanging around his neck, and shook it in front of the three of them:

"This gadget senses the energy of the SCP item. I've confirmed that it's coming from the direction of the central garden."

He said:

"So, I guess, there might be an SCP item at the bottom of the pit..."

As soon as Ji Thrush's voice fell, the sea eagle and sunfish yelled together:

"it is true!?"

Both of them looked very excited.

If what the curly-haired baby face said is true, then it may be possible to find the SCP item they still lack!

"Really? Are you sure?"

The sunfish seemed eager to get a definite answer, and asked twice, "Are you sure there are SCP items down here?!"

Ji Thrush is actually quite guilty, but at this time, perhaps looking for it at the bottom of the pit is their last hope.

So he nodded anyway.

"That's right, it's indeed possible that it might be down here!"

Sunfish quickly thought of a reasonable explanation.

"I remember that it was mentioned in the information that Site 9 gave us. According to reliable information, a staff member was killed by his own clone while trying to escape with No. 748 "shy AI". Gone with the flash drive containing SCP748!"

He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"That person's body must have been thrown into the pit, so the flash drive containing SCP748 is [-]% down there!"

The more Sunfish talked, the more he felt that his speculation was quite reasonable and convincing:

"Also, isn't the antique jewelry box also lost? Maybe it's the same as the shy AI. Someone took it and failed to escape, and ended up feeding the queen bee!"

He stared at his captain with piercing eyes:

"Otherwise, let's go down and look for it too!?"

Hai Ying didn't answer right away.

Like Season Thrush, he found a crack in the wall and carefully observed the condition of the deep pit outside.

After a while, he came to a conclusion similar to Ji Xiaoniao's.

"Those crab-like things are very difficult to deal with... If you go down rashly, you will definitely die."

Hai Diao stroked his beard, frowned and said:

"Unless, there is a way to avoid the 'eyes' on those crab feet..."

Having said that, his voice suddenly stopped.

After pondering for more than ten seconds, Hai Diao took out something from the pocket hidden under his clothes, and showed it to Ji Xuan and others.

"This thing, I think it might work!"

What Hai Diao took out was the box of SCP490, Chameleon Bubble Gum.

Ji Thrush's eyes flashed, and he quickly understood what the captain of the Poseidon team meant.

Chameleon Bubble Gum, as an SCP item produced in a wild science experiment base, has the special effect of allowing the body of the person who chews it to change color according to the environment it comes into contact with within a certain period of time, just like a chameleon.

Each time the user only needs to chew a Chameleon Bubble Gum, and before spitting it out, it can maintain its own color-changing effect for no more than 10 minutes.

"This plan can indeed work..."

While recalling the various details about Chameleon Bubble Gum in the files, Ji Thrush carefully pondered how confident he could be in doing so.

"However, if we use this method, we can only go down to two people at most."

His gaze swept across Mo Tiangen, and then moved to Hai Diao, probing up and down:

"Captain Sea Eagle, your strength should not be small, right?"
