Investigators, foundation members, and members of various sects in the dead world all gathered in a city called Hilda.
As the last city established as a result of the subsequent expansion of the New Land, Hilda's prosperity and population cannot be compared with other cities.
But in the era of magic energy, this place is not too bad. It is even far more styled in the era of magic energy than previous cities.
The style of the Magic Age is more artistic.
After all, more than half of the group of people who are crazy or about to go crazy and have power are artists.
There are huge, smooth black castles, magic towers hundreds of meters high, and some gear mechanical houses modified according to the style of the steam age. Buildings of various styles can be found inside.
However, during this period of time, this city that few people care about has become extremely lively.
Many famous people came one after another from the central city headed by Arkham.
And the purpose of their coming here is naturally for the legendary SCP-001 supernatural event.
At this time, everyone gathered in front of a wall. It was an ordinary steel city wall that didn't look like anything special.
But no one dared to come within five meters.
"This is it, hiss. I didn't expect that such an ordinary place would lead to another world."
Someone from Dagon's secret sect muttered, then picked up a stone and threw it over.
The stone that should have made a sound when it hit the wall disappeared before their eyes as if it had sunk into the water.
"Who dares to give it a try?"
"Don't you members of Dagon's secret sect take the lead? Otherwise, you won't be able to deal with so many of your followers."
"After all, your great god will be watching you in the darkness. Our lives are dark enough already."
There are people from other sects who want people from the secret sect of Dagon to give it a try.
"Fuck, fuck you, your mouth is as smelly as the socks on my feet. Sooner or later you will be thrown into the sea and fed to the fish. This kind of thing should be done by members of the foundation."
The Foundation task force present ignored them at all. They were here to investigate, not to die.
However, they still took the appropriate action and immediately contacted the nearest Foundation stronghold through the magic communicator.
"Bring five D-class personnel here immediately. Their help may be needed here."
Someone immediately said: "By the time your people come over, I'm afraid this strange space will have disappeared. You can discover it once, but you can't miss it like this, otherwise it will take you who knows how long it will take to meet you next time."
"What are you talking about? You go down first. Someone has successfully come out of it anyway. There must be a passage to the real world."
"Then why don't you go?"
For a moment, everyone present was arguing.
They all want to know where it leads and what is there.
Regarding the unknowns in this world, all human beings, regardless of churches or organizations, have the same purpose, which is to figure it out.
But they were afraid of this completely unknown place.
They deeply know that the unknown is the most terrifying thing in this world.
But at this moment, someone from the crowd behind shouted: "Get out of the way, Mr. Francis is coming!"
"Oh, our legendary investigator is finally here, Francis, old man, why are you here?"
The crowd dispersed and made a way.
A man who was 1.8 meters tall, wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat, with slightly dark skin and a calm expression on his face, as if nothing could shake his heart walked in.
Francis is a legendary investigator and an old acquaintance in various churches. Everyone present knows him.
There are even many "comrades" who have participated in the investigation incident. As for the backstabbing incidents that occurred during the investigation incident, only he knows clearly.
But when it comes to investigating and handling strange things, they all surprisingly unanimously feel that Francis is extremely reliable.
"Francis, what do you think?"
Francis didn't look, but spoke out the results of his long-running investigation into SCP-001.
"According to valid records, at least a thousand or so humans disappeared out of thin air, and only one person appeared again later."
"There is a way back to that world, but it must be very difficult to return."
Francis said, raising his head with a confident smile on his face.
"But compared with the endless Crazy Mountains and the endless sea of death, do you think the level of danger here will be higher?"
No one present dared to say such words with such confidence, only Francis could.
Because he truly came back from these places safe and sound.
Some people say he is lucky, but luck is part of his strength.
"Since you all want to know what's inside, why not go in and explore together."
"Isn't this the purpose of why you were sent here?"
"And I'll take the lead, old friends, don't you want to rediscover the excitement of the past?"
Everyone was moved. Indeed, as Francis said, the purpose of their coming here was to investigate this place.
I was afraid before, but now someone has taken the lead, and it's Francis. He is born with leadership qualities, and now he doesn't seem so scary...
"Well, Francis, as you say, we will follow you as long as you go down. We are all people who have walked from the edge of death. What is so scary about death!"
"That is, there are many things in this world that are more terrifying than death. Maybe there is a place far better than this world."
“O Lord in whom I believe, bless me.”
Seeing that everyone agreed, Francis looked at the wall in front of him.
He has a determined look in his eyes, which is why he takes all kinds of risks and never looks back.
Not only was it my childhood ideal, I wanted to investigate all the strange things and truly understand the world.
At the same time, it is also to find that person.
The mysterious man who once gave him bread to eat and gave him a letter of introduction to become an investigator.
Francis has been looking for that person ever since he had a stable life.
But after several years of searching on the streets where we met, there was no news.
Afterwards, the investigation was carried out through various connections, but there were no clues at all.
It was as if the person who had helped him didn't exist.
But Francis had a feeling that the other party was not simple, maybe just like those weird ones.
In this world, there is a mysterious existence that cannot be detected.
So he has been looking for each other everywhere.
