The wall of Containment Room No. 8 on the side of the corridor has been squeezed and deformed by a tree-root-like gray-green jelly. The door frame is cracked, the door panel is skewed, and the edge is half a fist off the ground.

Ji Lu and Ren Jianmo guarded the two ends of this corridor respectively to prevent any new individuals from passing by. Mo Tiangen and Hai Diao, two strong figures, are responsible for cleaning up the glue on the door and dismantling it. Door panels.

Several people were lucky, and no one in white robes approached during the whole process. Five minutes later, they successfully entered Containment Chamber No. 8.

The room has become a virgin forest.

Dense and varying thicknesses of viscose, like vines entwined in a dense forest, filled most of the space.

Originally, this room should be divided into two layers, inside and outside, with a double-layer bullet-proof glass in the middle to ensure the tightness of the inner space, and vacuum treatment if necessary.

It’s just that even the reinforced concrete walls can’t stop the secretions of the queen bee. The seemingly strong double glass naturally burst into countless nail-sized fragments under squeezing, and the goddess scattered flowers in every corner of the room. .

It took Ji Tuan and others more than three times longer than opening the door to open a path through the gluey stuff in the house.

"Here."

Ji Yu holds a pocket watch-like energy meter in his hand, turning it in all directions, looking for the energy source of the SCP item.

Since entering this room, the two items "soul" and "control" on the dial have been deflected.

Obviously, this shows that there must be an SCP item near a few people, and from the nature of energy, 99.9% is the ideal companion manual they are looking for.

Finally, they finally found the wall on the innermost side of the room.

Serious cracks have appeared on the wall, and most of the safes embedded in the wall are exposed.

"found it!"

The five people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Mo Tiangen and Haidiao worked together to pry open the safe.

In the box, there really was a blue soft leather manuscript lying.

Teacher Dagen stretched out his hand to take it out, looked through it, and after confirming that it did not differ from the description in the file, he handed it to Ji Shu.

Ji Xiaoniao took the notebook and checked it again.

A total of more than two hundred pages of the notebook, nearly fifty pages have been written in handwriting.

In the first thirty pages, there were repeated names. The same name appeared six or seven times in a row. In the last ten pages, the names on each page were different, and the intervals were different. , Sometimes there are even three consecutive pages filled out on the same day.

According to the records of SCP item archives, this ideal companion manual was discovered about three years ago in a mansion where the bizarre killing of the door took place.

At that time, the hostess of the house killed her sleeping husband, mother-in-law, and son in the middle of the night, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

As one of the many physical evidence at the scene of the murder, this blue notebook was confiscated by the police and placed in the physical evidence box.

Afterwards, the agents of the SCP Foundation placed in the police system discovered the existence of the notebook, intervened in the investigation, and quickly confirmed its anomalous properties, and proceeded to contain it.

It is described in the file that the Ideal Companion Handbook has the ability to control the mind and mind, which can affect any contact person with a partner and make them have a strong urge to use it.

Users can't help writing down their lover's name in the notebook, and then check their ideal expectations for their partner.

Then, in the next year, the user will be pleasantly surprised to find that his or her partner is gradually becoming what he or she imagined.

However, no matter what kind of appearance the person affected by the notebook effect becomes, even if he has become a model husband or almighty wife praised by everyone, the user will still confide in the relatives and friends around him. For some reason, he still continues to his partner. Feel a strong dissatisfaction beyond reason.

For example, a person who originally smoked and drank, after being crossed out of his tobacco and alcohol habits, no longer touches tobacco and alcohol, but his partner will hope that he will become a thorough vegetarian and even coffee , Tea or any sugary beverages will not stick to a mouthful and so on.

At this stage of development, users will begin to frequently modify their expectations of their partners, making their spouse or lover eventually become a puppet who completely loses himself and does not have the ability to think independently.

At this time, the user will feel that the personality of his partner has been changed, and therefore feels almost crazy emptiness and despair, and ultimately all inevitably end up with killing his lover and suicide.

Originally such a dangerous thing should only be held by Dagen-teacher, a single Wang, but fortunately, they are now equipped with mind-blocking devices, which will not be affected by the effects of mind-control objects for the time being.

So after Ji Lu checked the notebook, he handed it to Ren Jianmo, and asked her own great beauty to properly put this dangerous thing into "one cubic meter of freedom."

The sea eagle and the sunfish stood by, watching them silently, without even showing their curiosity when they stepped forward.

After Ren Jian silently collected the notes of his ideal partner, Hai Diao cleared his throat and asked:

"What are you going to do now?"

Ji Shu turned his head to look at him, raising an eyebrow in confusion:

"Of course I went to find a clockwork Lamborghini and an antique jewelry box."

"this……"

The sea eagle squatted, "Actually, you don't need to..."

As a senior participant of "Peach Blossom Spring", he is really not used to showing weakness to anyone, and he rarely shows an embarrassing look.

"Ah, I mean, you have all three SCP items, and the mission is complete..."

He lifted up **** and made a "go" gesture, which meant that Ji Tuan and the others could actually go first.

Ji Xiaoniao did not speak, but smiled and repeated:

"Let's go, hurry up and find a clockwork Lamborghini and antique jewelry box."

&&&&&&&&&

Fortunately, the containment rooms where both SCP539 clockwork Lamborghini and SCP642 antique jewelry boxes are located are on the ground building, not on the underground floors that were destroyed and occupied by the queen bee.

According to the file, both SCP items are on the first floor of the Omega Containment Center.

Anyway, the whole building is now riddled with holes, and a few people didn't bother to take the risk of looking for stairs anymore. They simply searched for a hole in the floor, drilled directly through the hole, and penetrated vertically to the lower floor.

Only this time, they did not go as smoothly as getting the ideal partner manual.

On the way, the five encountered a group of beetles.

They should be SCP497, a swarm of hallucinogenic beetles.

These beetles alone are about the size of an adult's fist, live in groups, have the ability to fly, move quickly, have a certain amount of intelligence, can communicate with each other simply, and are good at cooperative hunting.

They feed on the blood of all warm-blooded animals, and their mouthparts can secrete an anesthetic with a strong hallucinogenic effect.

When the hallucinogenic beetle swarms hunting, they will quietly ambush a single prey, and inject anesthetic into the prey's body by biting.

After the prey is bitten, it will lose the feeling of pain, and at the same time it will produce a sense of excitement after the myopia knocks HIGH. As more and more anesthetic ingredients enter the body, it may even cause strong hallucinations.

At this time, the beetle swarms will gather to besiege the crazy and out of control prey until it **** a drop of blood in his body.

It's just that there should be more than 100 hallucinogenic beetles in the Foundation's containment, but the group that tried to attack everyone was only about 20.

Ji Xing guessed that their number should have been consumed a lot in the confrontation between the body and the new-born individuals. Until now, there are only more than twenty left.

The SCP-type creatures still in the nest at this time can only be newborn individuals copied from the light waves of the queen bee, and they have no containment value at all.

The five people did not hesitate, and they solved them all by three times.

Unfortunately, in the process, the sound of fighting attracted the attention of several people in white robes, and they had to remove the new obstacles.

Fortunately, nothing more dangerous appeared.

After finishing the hallucinogenic beetle swarm, the five found the containment chamber of the antique jewelry box.

But they rummaged through the room and couldn't find the antique jewelry box that was said to be able to appraise the value of the jewelry by themselves.

"There is no SCP energy here."

Ji Xuan checked around with an energy meter, and finally came to this conclusion.

The faces of the sea eagle and the sunfish were visibly gloomy.

"...Let's go."

The beard-faced man took a deep breath, "Anyway, let's find a clockwork Lamborghini first."

"and many more!"

Sunfish grabbed his captain's arm with his uninjured hand and whispered anxiously:

"Even if we find a clockwork Lamborghini, we won't be able to leave!"

The sea eagle snapped him off:

"Then you have to find it first!"

Due to the captain's momentum, the sunfish swallowed all the unfinished words back, gritted the roots of his teeth, and said nothing.

"Your captain is right."

Ji Lu also said at this time, "When you are not desperate, at least you have to make sure that another SCP item is available."

Sunfish glanced at Ji Xuan and nodded silently.

Just now when they encountered a copy of the hallucinogenic beetle swarm, the sunfish had seen the fighting power of Ji Shu, Ren Jianmo, and Mo Tiangen.

He had to admit that even when he was not injured, the level of these people was far above him. I am afraid that only the captain can barely make a few moves when one picks one.

Therefore, although the Sunfish has to admit from the bottom of his heart that he has indeed darkly planned to "rob SCP items from their hands", but with such a huge gap in combat power, unless he wants to find his own way, otherwise. , It can only completely extinguish this idea.

So the five people stopped delaying time, found a hole in the wall and climbed out, left the containment chamber, and began to search for the whereabouts of SCP539 clockwork Lamborghini.

The author has something to say:

In other words, in the relevant settings of the SCP Foundation, most of the SCP items are actually like the ideal companion manual. The effect sounds very positive at first, but it will be horrible when it is used—probably. Want to explain the truth that "there is no free lunch"~|
