"Actually, at this moment, when we were talking, I could not help but connect the dots … Every single one of us has something that goes against the law of nature. In other words …" Feng Bujue sighed. "Now, once I enter the 'effective range' of that thing, I will be wiped out due to one of my unique traits." His eyes scanned the three before him. "But the three of you still do not know the law of this thing. As long as you maintain this state, you will be able to get close to it. So … "
"Wait a minute …" Hong Hu had been following Feng Bujue's train of thought. Hearing this, he said, "Based on what you said, to make this thing 'take effect', we need someone who knows its characteristic and is standing within its effective range." He paused. "But currently, the only person who knows its characteristic … which is you, will die once you step into its effective range."
"Does that mean … you will have to sacrifice yourself to trigger it?" Qiu Feng asked.
"Other than that, you said that every single one of us has something that goes against the law of this object," Weighty Words added. "That means … no one will be able to survive to trigger this thing. Because when we do not know its characteristic, we will not be able to trigger its effect, and once we do, we will end up in the same situation as you. "
"Yes, that is the key. I have a way to make the object take effect as long as all of us are alive, "Feng Bujue replied.
The three teammates did not show too much shock or confusion on their faces. There was only a focused expression.
Feng Bujue was satisfied with their reaction. It was so easy to communicate with smart people. He did not need to explain too much, and they would trust him and understand him.
"First, I need one of you to pick up the object and place it at a specific location. During this process, try to empty your mind and not think too much. " Feng Bujue started to explain his strategy. "After the object is placed in place, the person will listen to my order and walk to the edge of the object's effective range. At that time, I will say something to him. The content of the sentence will be the description of an objective fact. " He paused for half a second before continuing, "If nothing goes wrong, the moment you finish your sentence, the object will take effect. And in these few seconds, the perpetrator probably didn't have time to realize what would cause him to be obliterated. "
"Understood." Hong Hu continued, "As long as the person immediately escapes the effective range of that thing after hearing it. Then, the effect of the object will only act on the information object you described, and will not obliterate the actor. "
"By the time the person realizes that they are in conflict with the item, they will have already left its range and will be safe." Qiu Feng said thoughtfully, "Hmm … So, the object is triggered by the 'cognition' of the observers within a certain range …"
Weighty Words did not give his opinion. He was silent for a few seconds before he said something else. "Brother Feng … you were able to come up with such a strategy in such a short amount of time, and you call yourself a 'puzzle-solving expert'?"
"I was just being polite …" Feng Bujue also knew that since things had reached this stage, it was impossible for him to continue acting dumb.
"You're being too humble …" Hong Hu pushed on his glasses. "Of the four of us, only you know the characteristic of that object, and this characteristic cannot be revealed to others. In other words … to solve this puzzle without any casualties, you will have to come up with the plan alone.
The scenario of Thriller Paradise is randomly generated based on the data of all the players in the team. The knowledge, power, skill, equipment, and so on of the four of us are all within the range of consideration. Therefore, your ability to come up with a strategy has been acknowledged by the system. At least, the photon computer believes that you have more than a fifty percent chance of solving this puzzle alone. "
"Hmph … I'm guessing that Brother Feng originally wanted to pretend to be ignorant and follow behind us, the so-called 'big shots'." Qiu Feng pointed out Brother Jue's intention sharply. "But after he saw that thing, he had to join the puzzle solving."
"Ah … I suppose so." Feng Bujue admitted.
"Hahaha … At the end of the day, this is actually our problem." Weighty Words laughed and used his hand to scratch his crew cut. "From the beginning, the three of us naturally underestimated Brother Feng, and the reason was that the ID Feng Bujue was not that famous." He looked at Hong Hu and Qiu Feng. "If I was in Brother Feng's shoes, I would have reacted the same way. I can't possibly boast about how powerful I am to three people who don't know me. "
"You're right," Hong Hu agreed.
Qiu Feng said, "Then let's not dwell on this problem anymore. How about we discuss who is going to move the stuff?"
Feng Bujue then said, "Weighty Words, Qiu Feng, which of you is more familiar with mathematics?"
"Mathematics … I'm not bad," Weighty Words said.
"So-so," Qiu Feng added. "I've returned the stuff from high school to high school, so I'm probably at middle school level now."
"Then, it's you," Feng Bujue said.
"Huh?" Qiu Feng was startled. "Why?"
"What do you mean why? I couldn't explain it before, so what's there to ask? " Feng Bujue raised his arm to point at the room. He mimicked a teenager's voice and yelled with passion, "It's you! Go! Pikachu! "
After hearing Feng Bujue's ridiculous joke, even Weighty Words and Hong Hu felt embarrassed, much less Qiu Feng himself.
"I can't believe I'm talking to an adult …" Qiu Feng put on an annoyed face and complained.
"Moral Beast Super Evolved ~ Moral Beast Super Evolved ~ Moral Beast Super Evolved ~" Feng Bujue drawled.
"Are you done?" Qiu Feng roared with both shame and anger.
"I'm distracting you." Feng Bujue said seriously. "This will increase your safety during the operation."
"You only need to wait for me to move the stuff out of the door and tell me where to put it. There's no need to waste time."
"Fine."
Even though Feng Bujue's action was shameful, it was effective. After ending this rather awkward conversation, Qiu Feng's mind really went blank …
…
Item Number: SCP-233
Item Safety Level: Keter
Special Containment Measure: SCP-233 has to be stored in a 23 x 23 x 23 cubic containment area lined with concrete. (As long as it's 23 x 23 x 23, it doesn't matter what the unit length is.)
A 23 meter safety zone has been established around the object. No D-grade personnel below the age of 23 are allowed to cross the zone. For the sake of research, it is recommended to use D-grade personnel whose birthday is on the 23rd of X month.
No firearms are allowed inside the zone unless they are using .2323 caliber special ammunition.
The workers' shift has to be scheduled at 23: 00 on the hour, and the final shift has to be accurate to 23: 23 GMT.
[Deleted] mm ammunition must not be used near the project.
D-grade personnel born in the month [Deleted], or the [Deleted] day of a certain month, the tenth [Deleted] day, or the twentieth [Deleted] day of a certain month are not allowed to come into contact with the project.
Personnel working in the containment facility should be specially reminded to be extra vigilant against [Deleted] at every hour, especially at the [Deleted] point. This is the period when the SCP is most active. For the best reason, all personnel should be evacuated 23 meters away from the SCP during this period.
Description: SCP-233 is a 23-sided object. Each side is an equilateral rectangle with a straight line inside. Due to this object's strange spatial properties, it cannot be accurately constructed, and it cannot be replicated in 3D or 2D form.
SCP-233 has the ability to change the mathematical rules of nearby areas. It can cause the surrounding calculations to be completely wrong, unless the 23rd system is used. However, calculators using the 23rd system can benefit from this SCP and can calculate at 23 times the normal speed.
The proposal to destroy this SCP has been postponed because there is a possibility of it being incorporated into [Data Deleted]. Not to mention the difficulty of converting binary to the 23rd system, this device has already shown its value to the Organization.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the number [Deleted] in the SCP-233's area of effect will cause it to display an extremely violent effect. Everything affected by this effect will be rapidly chemically disintegrated, because the atoms that make up this substance will instantly collapse in 0.23 seconds.
It is worth mentioning that based on past experience, SCP-233 does not seem to be triggered by the physical properties of nearby objects, but by the perception of surrounding observers. For example, it is safe to hang SCP-233 on a 2.74 meter long pole, as long as no observer in the danger zone knows that the pole is actually [Deleted] feet long. The reason for this effect is unknown, but it may be related to the "observer effect" in classical quantum physics.
…
Feng Bujue's knowledge of the SCP series allowed him to recognize this "23-sided object". He also knew that 2.74 meters was about 9 feet long. In other words, this SCP targeted the number "9".
As long as someone who knew its characteristics entered the 23-meter range of SCP-233, then, in that area, everything related to 9 in that person's perception will be erased.
When Feng Bujue shouted and retreated, he already noticed a problem. "Feng" and "Feng" both had nine strokes, so there is no need to talk about that. The other three … Autumn Breeze's "Autumn", and Weighty Words' "Yu", all had nine strokes. Hong Hu's connection to 9 was even more obvious, he was level 29.
No matter which of the three teammates moved the item, as long as they heard his words, even if they did not know the characteristics of SCP-233, they would quickly understand that the problem was with the number 9. Then, the faster the action person connected themselves to 9, the faster they would be erased …
If this was a scam team, then it would be better to find someone who was slower to act as the action person. But the four people in front of him were the type that had a particularly fast brain. Once information entered their brain, they would instinctively make deductions.
Therefore, Feng Bujue decided to let Autumn Breeze, who was relatively weak in mathematics, go and try his best to use language to disrupt the other party's thoughts. The action method he came up with was to minimize the amount of time his teammates had to think and the amount of information they had to know.
This puzzle solving strategy did not seem complicated, but in reality, it fully demonstrated Feng Bujue's strength. Even his seemingly nonsensical actions were actually meaningful. All the details were flawless.
"Where do we put it?" At this time, Autumn Breeze walked out from the white door and asked loudly.
Feng Bujue had retreated far enough. Even if the item was moved out, he was standing 23 meters away.
"Over there!" When he shouted, Brother Jue used his finger to point. "Just place it between the two pillars that are leaning against the wall."
Qiu Feng responded after hearing that. He carried the twenty-three facets and walked all the way to that place. This SCP was not too heavy. For a player with enhanced physique, it was easy to move.
About ten seconds later, Autumn Breeze placed the item in place. "Is it okay to put it here?"
"Okay," Feng Bujue replied. "Now, walk toward me. There's no need to go too fast. Stop when I tell you to stop. "
Autumn Breeze did as he was told.
Feng Bujue estimated that the other party had walked about 20 meters. He shouted, "Stop!" Then he said, "Okay, I'm going to say that message. I'll say it faster. After that, I will shout 'run' again. At that time, you should run to our side as fast as you can. Just keep thinking about what I said in your mind. "
