As Lei Keming's mother's mental state returned to normal after suffering from the Dark Erosion Syndrome, the news spread more and more widely.
From the initial disbelief, more and more people came to her to find out more about the situation. In the end, she did it in any way.
After all, the erosion and distortion occurring on her arm is the best proof of this.
Although it is not a complete cure, as long as you regain your mental sanity and become a normal person.
It is the best outcome for both the family and the sufferer of Dark Erosion Syndrome.
At first, Lei Keming's mother made excuses to shirk it, but as more and more people came in, there were even some people who were willing to pay high prices to buy the news.
Lei Keming's mother gradually had other thoughts in mind.
That is to make profit by using the creature brought back by Lei Keming.
Although Lei Keming's original intention was not to do so, he agreed under his mother's strong request.
My mother founded a sect of her own, called the Illuminati Sect.
The teachings bring light to mankind living in darkness, so that there is no suffering in this hellish world.
After using a masked method to cure a patient with Dark Erosion Syndrome with an Itchy Monster.
A group of family members suffering from Dark Corrosion Syndrome began to become the most loyal believers of the Light Sect.
As the church continued to expand, other people joined the Church of Light.
And there are indeed many people who have come into contact with the Tickle Monster. They have become positive and have no worries or fears.
A life where you don’t have to worry about everything every day.
Although this feeling only lasts for a while, it is like the most addictive drug.
Make them want to stop.
There are more and more die-hard people who believe in the Illuminati Sect, and more and more people are spreading the word and joining.
It was not until the scale expanded to thousands of people that the movement here finally attracted the attention of the officials.
Although there are many churches and sects in Steam City, the top management of Steam City also has its own management model.
At least all that exist now are sects and churches, and everything they believe in has a record of its existence.
From a certain perspective, they will not believe in something that is completely illusory.
Naturally, these churches and sects are also registered.
And a Illuminati sect that appeared from a border town out of nowhere and had never heard of it was naturally against the rules.
At first, the officials only sent some people to conduct a simple investigation and let the sect disband on its own.
But the people sent out not only never returned, but even became members of the Illuminati Sect.
Bright, happy, happy, let the world be filled with spiritual joy.
Such teachings began to spread everywhere.
After several contacts with the Illuminati Sect, the officials finally discovered that this sect is very complicated.
What they believe in seems to be a real existence, and it does have special abilities.
And this is a weird creature they have never recorded, or any other supernatural containment object.
Although beyond the belief in weirdness, the direction of civilization in the steam city has made some changes.
However, the understanding of various aspects of the strange investigation has not changed.
After all, their original intention of believing in weirdness is to gain more powerful abilities to survive better in this world.
It is not belief for the sake of belief, but belief for the sake of survival.
Now a brand new unknown existence has appeared, which immediately tightens the nerves of the top management of Steam City.
The foundation's task force was immediately dispatched to investigate. At the same time, some investigators went voluntarily to investigate the situation.
With the strong intervention of official forces, the details of this Illuminati sect were quickly investigated.
The strange abilities they possess do not come from anyone.
It comes from the beings they believe in.
As for the existence of their faith, no one knows, only the leader of the Illuminati Sect knows.
All those who came into contact with the objects of faith were in a dark environment with their sight obscured.
All I knew was that it was a squishy, squishy creature.
It can be inferred from this that the existence of the Illuminati sect does not have too strong attack capabilities.
And it is an existence that can be controlled by anyone, otherwise it would not be covered up.
The task force immediately arrested the leader of the Illuminati Sect, Lei Keming, and his mother.
After interrogation, the task force found the hidden Tickle.
After identification by the Foundation, this creature was deemed a supernatural creature and could be contained.
The specific information still needs to be studied in more detail after being brought back.
But just when the task force was about to take them away, the Illuminati believers all went crazy and started to block them, and even launched an attack on the task force.
According to the regulations of the task force to defend against counterattack, the task force shot all the believers present.
To prevent the spread of memetic contamination.
After burning all the corpses, the task force returned to the Foundation's containment base with the Itchy Monster.
Lei Keming and his mother were arrested.
He was imprisoned as D and personnel for disturbing the order and concealing evidence about the supernatural container.
Researchers in the Foundation began to conduct research, and first gave SCP-999 a number through the suggestion of senior management, and called it the Tickle Monster.
In subsequent research, the properties of the Itchy Monster were discovered.
He has no offensive intentions and remains friendly to everyone.
And is willing to play with humans, especially those who are depressed.
The Tickle Monster has the ability to absorb negative emotions and make those who come into contact feel mentally happy.
And once someone touches the tickle monster once, they will become dependent on spiritual pleasure.
The Foundation is considering using Itchy Monsters to create a potion that suppresses Dark Corrosion Syndrome.
After all, more and more people are suffering from Dark Erosion Syndrome.
It's just that after the Itchy Monster absorbs the negative emotions, there is still little data to know what other changes will occur.
But the proposal has already been studied.
At the same time, after the plague doctor learned of the existence of the Itchy Monster, he also suggested that he join the research.
However, he was rejected by the Foundation, fearing that he might cause some harm related to the plague during his research, which would affect other people.
And judging from the Itchy Monster's ability to soothe any creature, the Foundation has plans to meet SCP-682 the Immortal Lizard next time.
Containment via Itchy Monsters.
Since the Itchy Monster has no ability to attack, it is allowed to be contained in a space where it can move freely.
However, they are not allowed to leave the containment space, and no one is allowed to approach the Tickle Monster except for necessary research.
To prevent becoming dependent on spiritual pleasure and doing extreme things.
