(The setting of the ability "Rupert's Tears" in this game is based on SCP-180. If there is any similarity, it is not a coincidence)
Yun Ming's superb storytelling talent was once again demonstrated. He described this SCP project with a clinical style in a vivid and vivid way. The two listeners, Bai Fei and Benita, reacted unexpectedly in the same way while listening to the story: they both unknowingly grabbed a square pillow to cover their chests as Yun Ming told it.
"It turns out that dragon-level ability users will also feel scared after listening to such a frightening little story."
When SCP-3041's description came to an end, Yun Ming immediately raised his hand and poked Benita's arms: "She is no different from an ordinary little girl."
"How fresh." Benita frowned and retorted: "Who do you think you are as a high-level ability user? Have you been cut off by the sword of wisdom?"
When Yun Ming heard this, his expression was simply astonishing: "Your Chinese language level is a bit outrageous. Do you even know such common sayings and idioms?"
"After hanging out with her for a long time, you will naturally become familiar with Chinese." Benita pursed her lips towards Bai Fei.
Bai Fei didn't bother with this, she was still immersed in the SCP project just now: "So, the cause of death of that D-class personnel was actually that he was strangled to death by the heart he had eaten?"
"Yes, due to the antimemetic properties of SCP-3041, she doesn't even feel that her stomach is overloaded."
"There are indeed similarities with my abilities," Benita recalled: "Shiro, do you remember Kondo Masahisa?"
"Um...who is that?"
Seeing that Bai Fei had no impression of this name, Benita reminded: "When we sneaked into Xumizuo, he was the ghost-level ability user who was killed by me and then took away the divine mist potion. He is Joseph's subordinate, whose name is His name is Kondo Masahisa, but I only learned this person’s name from Bein this morning.”
"Of course I won't forget it. It's just that the name and identity of the person just didn't match up." Regarding this incident that happened more than two days ago, Bai Fei was not ready to forget it: "He was stabbed through by you. Chest, but after bleeding for several minutes, he realized he had been fatally injured."
Although Yun Ming did not witness Benita's killing of Kondo Masahisa with his own eyes, he could imagine the scene when the latter was killed. He must have died unjustly: "The [blindness] blocks other people's perception of you, and also... Erasing the touch and pain of the blade entering the body. If the impact of excessive blood loss hadn't forced Masahisa Kondo to wake up, he might have died without knowing what happened."
"That's right, so that... what... s... you said before..." Benita faltered and couldn't speak.
"scp-3041."
"Yes, it gave me a lot of inspiration."
"for example."
Benita opened her mouth, hesitated for a long time and then swallowed her words back: "I can't answer for a while, but I just think you provided a great idea. Maybe I can upgrade [Blindness] to A higher level.”
"I'm looking forward to it." Yun Ming pretended to be calm and rubbed his hands, suppressing the joy in his heart. He thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to jointly study superpowers and come to Bai Fei or Benita for more communication. It was a blessing to be friends with these two people. Wouldn't he gain a lot tonight?
It was already getting late, and the three of them had been chatting so far, and they were able to enjoy themselves as guests and hosts. Yun Ming had solved the top priority of healing, and there was no point in staying longer. He wanted to take advantage of the end of the topic to tell the two of them

The girl said goodbye, but Bai Fei, who was bowing her head in thought, suddenly called him out: "Yun Ming."
"how?"
"You should know about the disappearance of Miss Xu Xi, who flew with you to the Hurricane yesterday, right?"
"...I did hear Xia Yan say that she was taken away by a person with the ability to disguise herself whose origins are unknown."
"Disguise?" Bai Fei shook her head, knowing that Xia Yan did not tell Yun Ming the latest news: "No, her power is not to disguise herself, but like Benita, she is a mental influence user. "
Yun Ming couldn't figure out why Bai Fei jumped to this topic: "Does this... have anything to do with me?"
"Of course there is. The outsider's ability belongs to the category of creations of the spiritual influence system. The carrier form is the gemstone necklace worn around her neck. The effect of this spiritual creation is "appearance deprivation" or "identity theft." In short , she can change various appearances and clothing, and stay anywhere with a reasonable and unobtrusive appearance."
Giving Yun Ming a few seconds to digest the information, Bai Fei continued: "The reason why the organization has never been able to locate her and Xu Xi is because her superpower directly affects the human brain and affects visual nerve conduction. Therefore, regardless of whether it is employing people It is useless to use naval tactics, divide the entire ship into areas one by one, or review surveillance video."
"This ability has a lot in common with Benita's Xia." Yun Ming recalled whether there was such a troublesome character in the dark army.
All the things that had happened in the past few days forced Yun Ming to relax his vigilance towards Xu Xi - not because he wanted to, but because he really didn't have the extra energy to think about it. As for the mysterious people who helped Xu Xi leave the Hurricane and the big moves they might make in the future, Yun Ming had no clue in a short period of time.
Bai Fei clicked on her phone, swiped on it a few times, and handed it to Yun Ming: "The psychic ability user's power is limited by distance. After they stayed away from the Hurricane, the cognitive pollution was eliminated. , this is good news for the time being. What I am showing you now is the normal monitoring screen."
The matter was so important that Yun Ming did not dare to slack off. He turned over this two- to three-minute long video clip collection and watched it carefully. Helpless, he really couldn't recognize the South Asian woman in the video: "Sorry, I'm sure I don't know this woman, and I haven't heard Xu Xi or Jiang Yao mention her before."
"You don't have to worry about this. When I met you in the corridor, I was called by Yelena to discuss this matter." Bai Fei took back her phone and told Yun Ming a big secret: "The intelligence personnel and people through the organization After two days and one night of investigation and comparison by the facial recognition big data center, we have discovered her identity."
"who is she?"
"The bodyguard of the Alexis family and a ghost-level ability user, Selami Sharma; the gem pendant on the necklace is her spiritual creation - Rupert's Tears." Bai Fei said softly again. Click on the screen to display several photos of the horned bee orchid: "Selami once transformed into a flight attendant on the private plane of Gordon Gardner, the God's Favorite, and infiltrated the team of capable users who came to Manila for support. You You can take a look, it’s indeed her.”
Yun Ming is a typical patient with "foreigner's face blindness". After comparing the photos and videos for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that the two people were the same person.
(Actually, Yun Ming is not a patient with face blindness in the strict sense, because the phenomenon of "faces of other races are more difficult to recognize than faces of one's own race" is called the "foreign race effect" by neuroscientists, and is experienced by almost all adults. have)
"I
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I must have never dealt with this Selami," Yun Ming racked his brains to recall all the details on the plane: "But that Rupert's Tears reminds me of a certain SCP project. "
…………
Item number: scp-180
Project Level: euclid
Special Containment Procedures: For security reasons, the wearing of all headgear (including hairpins and bows) is strictly restricted in Site-76's reliquary research. Violators of this rule are subject to physical searches, movement review within Site-76, and DNA identification testing.
SCP-180 cannot leave the research laboratory. SCP-180's current appearance is to be reported to security on a daily basis. Anyone who encounters an unknown person in their department who is dressing or acting as if they belong to the department (whose identity could be stolen) should immediately notify security.
Description: SCP-180 takes the shape of a hat or other form of headgear or hair accessory. The identity of a subject who places SCP-180 on their head will be "stolen" by the hat. This effect makes the original owner completely unrecognizable, even by people who are very familiar with the original owner. Subjects who observe people whose identity has been stolen can only vaguely describe their characteristics, such as hair color, eye color, skin color, or clothing features, but cannot identify them. This effect will last until SCP-180 chooses a new host.
Once SCP-180 has stolen the identity of its original owner, when SCP-180 is placed on the head of any other subject, the original owner's identity will be copied on the second subject. This phenomenon not only happens to humans, but also to animals or still life objects. For example, when a hat is placed on a dog, statue, or coffee table, others will assume that they are the original owner of SCP-180.
As the host changes, SCP-180's appearance will also change. However, this effect is only visual. The object has appeared in the form of top hats, skullcaps, baseball caps, tie-dye bandannas, hairpins, hijabs worn by Muslim women, and motorcycle helmets. MRI and 3D ultrasound imaging have shown that SCP-180 is actually just a piece of old linen or other cloth that resembles a mask or shroud. Placing SCP-180 correctly on the head will actually obscure the face. Research has not yet been able to explain how or why the radiation (visual and infrared) manipulated by SCP-180 produces artifacts.
…………
Unlike the "Red Knife", Yun Ming introduced the "Identity Theft Hat" in just a few words. Firstly, the description of SCP-180 is very straightforward, not as obscure as SCP-3041; secondly, the characteristics of Rupert's Tears and SCP-180 overlap very closely, so it is not difficult to understand them.
"Bai Fei, is the Alexis family you just mentioned... the super family entrenched in Amazon County?" Yun Ming still has little understanding of the political structure of this world, but he has basic common sense about current affairs. , he still knows.
"Yes, the Renaissance Organization has relatively little contact with this family. It will take time to find out the inside story. In the short term, we still don't know why Selami wanted to go deep into the Hurricane and take Xu Xi away." After hesitating for a moment, Bai Fei confessed her Intelligence source: "Yelena told me this information, and her immediate boss is your old acquaintance - Xia Yan."
"But I don't suggest that you go directly to him to ask about the situation. In fact, what I said to you tonight..."
Bai Fei glanced back and forth with a guilty conscience: "If we strictly pursue the investigation, it will be considered a leak..."
