The dial of a pocket watch is a concentric circle made up of seven circles overlapping each other.

A piece of turquoise is inlaid in the middle of the first circle, and the following six circles surround the gemstone in the center, forming six equally spaced rings. The inside of each ring is engraved with densely packed scales and letters, twelve o'clock. There is a delicate small pointer in each position.

If you look closely, you will find that the shape and pattern of each pointer are different. The top of the pointer is also inlaid with a gem that is only half a grain of rice, and the types and colors of the gems are different.

Obviously, this pocket watch has been around for some years. The brass of the dial inevitably has worn and rusted, and even the scales and letters drawn on it have become very blurred.

Ji Tuan has better eyesight than Mo Tiangen and Fan's sister and brother, so he is also the fastest person to distinguish the slender squiggles on the dial.

"On these concentric circles, the letters in each circle are a word."

Xiaoniao squinted his eyes and carefully identified each word:

"From outside to inside, power, time, space, control, soul... and truth?"

"The guest officer is so insightful!"

Yao Wanguan immediately cheered the venue and flapped his wings.

"Each circle here represents the tendency of an SCP item."

Then, the whalehead stork began to talk about the function of this Class A collection called "energy meter".

"Actually, no matter how strange the SCP items are, their essence is a collection of various energy tendencies."

As he said, he clicked the dial with the feathers on the tips of his wings:

"Generally speaking, according to the abilities of various SCP items, their energy can be divided into six types: power, time, space, control, soul, and truth."

"Oh huh."

Mo Tiangen couldn't help but vomit:

"If it wasn't for some subtle differences, I thought you were plagiarizing the infinite gem setting of "League of ○"!"

The stork's wings bend uncontrollably.

He was deeply impressed by the muscular man who once bargained and killed him by 70% or 20%. Now that he was interrupted by him, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, and there was an urge to beat him up.

Yao profiteer said silently "Customer is God" three times in his heart, trying to squeeze a smile.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with your understanding."

Yao Wanguan continued to explain:

"For example, the ‘power’ in the first circle, such as monsters, demons, giants and other types with superior combat effectiveness, or groups of creatures, and items with powerful expansion capabilities, are all included here."

"Uh-huh."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.

"For example, when you get close to a huge monster, the pointer on the'power' ring on this pocket watch will deflect. The closer you get to the target, the more obvious the rotation of the pointer will be."

"I see!"

Ji Lu, Mo Tiangen, Fan Hemian and Fan Luming said together, and Ren Jianmo also nodded slightly.

According to Yao Wanguan's explanation, the remaining five rings also have their own corresponding SCP items.

The pointers in the "time" link will react to creatures or objects that have the ability to manipulate time.

For example, the very famous microwave oven that allows time to pass quickly in the SCP inventory, and the undead old man who has not known how long he has lived.

The "space" link corresponds to those items that can manipulate space.

They are usually arbitrary doors or teleportation arrays that can be seen everywhere in fantasy novels, as well as a space that can never go to an end. Or those SCP items that can cause spatial disorder or expansion in a certain area, such as the mustard grains that can hold an entire Mount Sumeru in Indian mythology, belong to this category.

The "control" part, as the name suggests, refers to SCP items that can influence or manipulate the senses, perception, spirit, consciousness, and memory of other creatures.

Such as magic sound, hypnosis, brain control, brainwashing, etc., all cover them.

The "soul" ring sounds very mysterious, but in general it is divided into two categories.

The first type is those SCP objects that are invisible to the naked eye but can detect abnormal energy, such as a house called "haunted"; and the second type is those AIs with unexplainable intelligence and thinking ability, or Inorganic objects that can interact with humans, such as the "all-knowing diary"-as long as you write a question on a blank page, the answer to this question will automatically appear on the next page.

The previous five items, Yao Wanguan, all explained very sluggishly, but when it came to the "truth" item, he was a bit out of words.

"Tsk, how should I put it..."

He scratched his huge beak with his wings, as if trying to find a more appropriate explanation:

"SCP items that can move the pointer of the'truth' circle are very rare, but once used, they often cause major accidents that affect the trajectory of the'world'."

Yao Wanguan's big shaggy face wrinkled, and his small eyes narrowed into two inverted triangles. After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered a proper concrete example.

"When you look through the materials, you should all have an impression of the Prophet Pictorial, right?"

Everyone nodded.

That is also a very distinctive SCP item.

The so-called "Pictured Prophet" refers to an abnormal phenomenon that occurred in a certain town.

In that small town, at irregular intervals, a news report that appears to be pure nonsense and without any factual basis will be published in the publication of a certain mainstream media.

As long as this news is published, whether it is murder, arson, mass violence, cult activities, or even natural disasters, no matter how ridiculous and absurd it describes, it will definitely become a reality at some point in the future.

After the SCP Foundation noticed such anomalies, it has tried many times to stop those things from happening.

It's just that they tried countless ways, such as closing the place where the incident occurred in advance, or simply trying to directly kill the culprit that caused the incident. In the end, they all failed due to force majeure, and each time it caused a large number of personal casualties.

Finally the SCP Foundation surrendered.

They compromised with the phenomenon of "Pictured Prophet", which cannot be explained by common sense, and no longer tried in vain to stop the occurrence of "prophecy". harm.

"So, what do you mean is that SCP items like the'Prophet's Pictorial' are of the'truth' category?"

Fan Luming said:

"In other words, it represents some irreversible force that can directly affect reality, right?"

Yao Wanguan flapped his wings vigorously and applauded the witty Doctor Deer frantically, "That's right, that's it!"

He paused, then added the last feature of this collection.

"Of course, the attributes of most SCP items are actually not so discrete."

Then the whalehead stork gave a very easy-to-understand example:

"Take the participant who got this collection as an example. At that time, his goal was an intangible female phantom, and this phantom had the ability to make people close to him involuntarily fear and tremble-this It means that she has both the attributes of'soul' and'control' at the same time."

As the profiteer Yao said, he clicked on the two hands inlaid with obsidian and amethyst:

"Later, the participant discovered that the pointers on the two rings of'soul' and'control' were deflected. Of course, the range of the pointers in the ring of'soul' was more pronounced."

Everyone understood, and glanced at each other, and they all saw the amazing colors in each other's eyes.

Indeed, this collection is too useful for them.

This pocket watch can not only warn them of unknown SCP items in advance, but also let them know the nature of the item in advance through the deflection of the pointer on each ring. It is simply traveling home and killing people in the SCP-type "world". An essential weapon for arson.

Fan Hemian thought of another question, "Then what is the effective range of this pocket watch?"

"Well, it's not easy to say."

Yao Wanguan answered:

"Because it relies on detecting the energy of the SCP item to provide instructions. If it is just a prank-level gadget, if the energy is too weak, you may have to walk into the containment room of the item to detect it."

Speaking of this, he deliberately came to a turning point.

"However, if it is a ‘big guy’ that can affect an entire area and even cause world-class disasters, then the energy is strong, and it is estimated that the detection distance can be calculated by ‘kilometers’.”

Fan Hemian nodded, indicating that he has no other problems.

So Yao Wanguan rubbed his wings, twitched his facial muscles, and put on a flattering smile, "So, do you plan to buy it?"

Generally speaking, the seller’s boss personally acts as a customer service, explaining a product from function to use so clearly that buyers will feel sorry if they only ask whether to buy it.

But the problem was that this profiteer Yao would especially watch the dishes. Seeing that Ji Shu and the others seemed to be very excited, the lion immediately opened his mouth and quoted a high price of 120,000 points.

"Wait, this is just an A-class collectible!"

Mo Tiangen immediately yelled, "Last month our altar of "Millennium Drunk" was also an A-class collectible, right? You only sold 12 thousand points, deducting the commission, and only gave us 8 thousand! Now this pocket watch It's turned ten times directly, why are you embarrassed!?"

Yao Wanguan snorted lightly.

He thought to himself, now it is the seller's market, you little poor children who are about to face the SCP ‘world’, are still waiting for my help!

"Because of the function of this collection, it is much rarer than a high-grade sleeping pill that can only be used three times."

The stork thought for a while, and added earnestly:

"Moreover, when you come back from the SCP-type ‘world’, you can sell it again!"

Of course, he didn't say a word.

——The premise is that you can get it back.
