D-grade personnel, or "Class _ D", was one of the classifications of personnel in the [SCP Foundation].
They were "personnel designated to operate abnormal objects."
The rules regarding D-grade personnel in the foundation were as follows:
First, D-grade personnel of the SCP project were not allowed to communicate with D-grade personnel of other SCP projects.
Second, D-grade personnel were recruited from prison inmates, with death row inmates as the preferred choice. Under urgent circumstances, they could be recruited from innocent people or criminals who had committed lesser crimes.
Third, all D-grade personnel had to be executed at the beginning of every month, and replacements had to be prepared.
Fourth, all D-grade personnel had to undergo a psychological test at least once a day, usually at 18: 00. Those who failed to comply with this requirement would be executed. Those who failed the test would also be executed.
Fifth, in any supernatural event, it was recommended that all D-grade personnel be executed, including those who had basic communication with them.
At that moment, the character that Feng Bujue had loaded into, Rudy Austin, was obviously a Grade D member that had been recruited.
"As expected of Nightmare difficulty, it's already a life and death crisis …" After Brother Jue regained his mobility, he immediately said, "Hmm … there are two more pressing problems … First, my hands are still cuffed; second, SCP-173 has gone out of control and is killing people in this room, and I … could become a victim at any time.
With that in mind, his eyes darted around …
Inside the room, dozens of people were running around in panic. Under the red light, twisted faces could be seen.
Fleeting gunshots, rising and falling screams, broken bones, and the sound of people falling to the ground … all of this indicated that SCP-173 was still in this room, and it was accomplishing a miraculous feat at an extremely fast speed …
"Ah … it's here …" Finally, Feng Bujue spent several seconds to lock onto SCP-173's position.
Perhaps a lot of people have already forgotten about SCP-173's design, so I won't list out the details of the project here. Simply put … it's a huge creature made of concrete and steel. Once you stop 'eye contact' with it, it will attack. The target of the attack should be random, and the method is … to teleport to the target's side and snap its neck.
"Everyone, don't panic, I've got it! As long as you maintain eye contact … "Feng Bujue stared at 173 and immediately shouted.
But … the researchers and the other prisoners ignored him. No one turned back to look at the monster. They just ran out of the door.
"Tsk … a bunch of idiots." Feng Bujue spat unhappily, "They deserve to die …"
Although he was cursing, he didn't stop his actions.
When he was watching the opening cinematic, he had memorized the positions of most of the people in the room. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to move to the side behind him and successfully stepped on a corpse within five steps.
Feng Bujue wasn't sure if the body belonged to a special forces soldier. Even if it did, he wasn't sure if the soldier had the key to the handcuffs. However … he still squatted down and used his hand to feel around.
This time, Brother Jue was very 'lucky'. In the previous ten seconds of chaos, SCP-173 really did kill the person with the key to the handcuffs. Furthermore, the first body that Brother Jue touched was this person.
The key to the handcuffs was much smaller than a normal key, so it was easy to tell. Feng Bujue took the key from the man's pocket and undid the handcuffs on his hand.
"Very good …" Brother Jue didn't throw the handcuffs away. Instead, he put the handcuffs and the key into the pocket of his jumpsuit in case he needed them. "This saves me the trouble of dislocating my hand …"
As he talked to himself, he used 'touch' … to find the M16 (automatic rifle) next to the victim's hand and held it in his hand.
"I can't … My eyes are so sore …" After doing all this, Feng Bujue hadn't blinked for almost a minute. Even though he couldn't look at the game menu, he could guess that … not blinking for a long time would lower his Life Points.
Therefore …
Tu tu tu tu —
Brother Jue picked up the M16 and fired a few shots at SCP-173. Then … he turned his head and blinked before running toward the exit.
The reason he fired the gun was obviously not to kill SCP-173 because he knew … normal weapons wouldn't be able to do anything to SCP-173. Even nuclear weapons might not be able to destroy it.
Feng Bujue's real reason for firing the gun … was to attract the attention of the others.
The people who were desperately trying to escape the room had already opened the electronic door of the exit and were now scrambling to squeeze out.
The few shots that Feng Bujue fired had attracted their attention for a short period of time.
This was human instinct. When we were in danger, 95% of our actions were instinctive.
For example, when they heard gunshots, most people's first reaction was to curl up, lower their heads, and try to cover their heads with their hands. At the same time … they would quickly turn their heads to look toward the source of the sound.
That was the 'first reaction'.
And the 'second reaction' … varied from person to person. Some people would quickly check to see if there were any holes in their body; some people would move away from the shooter after confirming the shooter's position; and some people … would move their eyes to where they were hit by the bullet.
Feng Bujue used the 'reaction' of the crowd to successfully make some people in the room give him their sights …
Using this opportunity, he charged forward with his gun. Using the deterrent effect of the weapon in his hand and a burst of momentum, he forced his way through the crowd and ran into the corridor.
"Main mission has been triggered."
The moment he passed through the electronic door, the system notification came.
At this time, Brother Jue finally had the chance to look at the game menu.
[Take out an Anomalous Project that is being evaluated in the facility out of the base.]
(Note: Any item that is being evaluated by the foundation for further research and special containment value will be cataloged as Anomalous.)
"What?" Feng Bujue originally thought that this was a scenario similar to SCP-173 (a first-person horror puzzle-solving game), so the main mission should be something like 'escaping from the base.' He did not expect that … he would have to find a certain item and bring it out.
"Important note: Your inventory, equipment, skills, and sorcery weapons have all been locked. Your basic physical fitness has been adjusted to Rudy Austin's level." The next second, another voice message came.
"Humph … I noticed it a long time ago …" Brother Jue was not surprised by this message. When he confirmed that this was a 'role-playing' scenario, he had already guessed this would happen.
Hum! Hum!
Less than ten seconds after Feng Bujue ran into the corridor, the loudspeakers all over the base emitted a shrill buzzing sound. Then came a mechanical announcement. "Due to multiple containment measures failing and reports of casualties, this Dim _ Sector has been completely locked down. All personnel are requested to evacuate to the emergency shelter immediately."
