Novel prions is the official word.
Among professionals, it has a more appropriate name: blood plague.
There is a monster hidden in every blood plague patient, and it takes different forms.
It is said that they represent the patient's innermost images, the purest evil.
In my memory, an expert who specializes in teaching newcomers to the Foundation once described it this way:
The id refers to the most primitive self without any disguise. It is like a cauldron of boiling instincts and desires, chaotic and disorderly.
The ego is in the middle position. It regulates the contradiction between the id and the superego. On the one hand, it appropriately satisfies the id, and on the other hand, it ensures that the behavior does not cross the line.
The superego is the highest good and social standard, which guides the self and limits the id.
What patients with blood plague face is their true self under the physical body, those evil secrets, arrogance, contempt, and resentment that cannot be revealed to others...
These things breed a monster that lurks beneath the skin, constantly seeking a breakthrough.
When the patient's willpower is completely exhausted, the monster will tear apart the body and trample on social rules wantonly: killing, devouring flesh and blood, and satisfying various dark desires deep in the heart.
Putting aside the above complicated and obscure philosophical terms and describing it in more popular language, Lu Li thinks it should be:
Under the influence of the mysterious virus, humans are gradually turning into beasts, with increasingly deformed looks and weird abilities.
However, to what extent is the disease of Patient No. 14 in front of us?
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at the bulging quilt, while stroking the hilt of the wolf-headed sword, he used words to stimulate the other person:
"Mr. Rhodes, did you eat Tommy?"
"If it dies, who will accompany you for walks in the future?"
"Stay away, please, baby."
Sobs came from inside, and it was obvious that Mr. Rhodes was unconscious. He thought the male investigator was his wife.
"Lock the door, run away, and never come near me again, okay?"
After saying this, the patient completely lost his mind, because Lu Li heard it laughing sharply:
"Eat you! Hahahahaha! Hahahaha! All of you will die!"
Immediately afterwards, the sheets began to shake violently, and it was not difficult to guess that the person lying inside should be convulsing like an epileptic patient.
"well……"
"The world is sick and withering."
Suddenly, Lu Li felt very happy. Such weird things had never happened in the world he originally lived in.
However, it is a sigh of relief, and the matters that need to be dealt with cannot be delayed.
Lu Li imitated the posture of the old demon hunter Abraham and chanted: "My sword blade shines with silver light!"
As a result, I felt nothing, my strength was not enhanced, my spirit was not uplifted, and except for a little shame in my heart, my body was in the same state as before.
It seems that this is just the old man's personal preference, and there is no need to follow the trend.
"Hehehehe... you all have to die!"
at the same time.
The howl sounded like a ruthless taunt, which made Lu Li feel embarrassed.
At the same time, he was also curious about why Mr. Rhodes, who had fallen into madness, never showed up.
Weng buzzing...
Weng buzzing...
The phone vibrated violently, and someone was sending messages continuously. It was obvious that they were impatient to wait.
"You're going to see blood just after crossing over, and you're going to get off to a good start? I hope it's a good sign."
The room is dimly lit.
A flash of silver light flashed.
Dark blood dripped down the sheets, and the solid wood floor made a sizzling sound, as if it was being burned.
Giving people an ominous premonition.
Two minutes later, a video was uploaded to the organization’s intranet——
A humanoid creature bound its hands and feet with a dog chain was lying on the bed, its chest and abdominal cavity were completely opened, exposing its rotting internal organs, and around it were piles of canine hair and bones.
Judging from the picture, the photographer is in front of it, holding the camera and taking a bird's eye view.
Because of this, the abdomen of the humanoid creature does not appear to be significantly bulging, but the surface skin is still broken, revealing pink dermal tissue and dense blood vessels like tree roots.
Then, a trace of white flame rose up, covering the entire screen in less than a breath. Finally, the narration sounded:
"Patient No. 14 has been dealt with, and the remains have been handed over to the site manager for storage."
Lu Li, a newcomer to the SCP Foundation, successfully completed his first mission.
Massive amounts of data poured out from the supercomputers and went to secret sites set up by the foundation around the world. All relevant information about "Lu Li, the head of a certain city's CDC" has been destroyed. He has become a city ghost. He has visited and been in the city. Some people leave impressions in their minds but cannot find them.
On the other side, a brand new "Lu Li" was fabricated out of thin air, and his age, education, nationality, and even social experience were all modified.
Two hours later.
Late at night.
A helicopter parked on the outskirts, and the pilot smiled and waved.
Lu Li carried a plastic bag and walked over quickly, murmuring: "You are so urgent, is the main show about to begin?"
Immediately afterwards, he stepped into the cabin, fastened his seat belt and tied on the life rope.
At this time, the driver turned around and found that Lu Li was still holding a skewer in his hand. He couldn't help but complain: "It seems that the organization disturbed your late night snack."
"Are all newcomers this strong now? They have really good mental qualities. After dealing with the monsters, they still have the energy to visit the barbecue restaurant."
After saying this, the driver shook his head and concentrated on the instrument panel before getting up.
After the plane took off smoothly, Lu Li handed over a bunch of roasted kidneys and asked tentatively: "Have you encountered any trouble? They even sent a special plane to pick them up."
"Besides, I'm just a new employee."
"I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't talk about it."
Rosen wiped away the remaining oil and barbecue ingredients from the corner of his mouth, and said casually: "This kidney is okay, very fresh, but the ingredients are a bit lacking."
"I'll give you two more skewers, let's talk."
Lu Li decided to bribe the other party and reasoned at the same time: "Anyway, you have to tell me what the specific mission is when we get there, so you might as well tell me now."
A hand reached out.
Rosen decided to temporarily lower his professional ethics a little:
"You're right, the administrator who made this rule must have had his brain caught in the door."
"Besides, I didn't eat dinner."
Sure enough, the memory was correct. Most of the members who joined the foundation were unreliable. They were either cold-faced killers or idiots.
Lu Li said helplessly: "Okay, I'll give you half...forget it, two-thirds..."
After a few minutes, the sound of belching began.
Rosen controlled the plane with one hand and said while picking his teeth: "The destination of this flight is the Condor Alliance. Specifically, it is a semi-abandoned mental hospital in the northern wasteland of the Alliance."
Mental hospital?
Lu Li was a little surprised. He thought he was going to contain something with a higher danger level, but in the end he was just going to explore.
"Don't take it seriously, that place is very evil."
