"Then leave it to you. I will re-arrange your residence, Mr. Rope. If there is anything unusual, please tell me in time, so I can provide a perfect help plan."

"Well, remember to ask Miss Makise to come to me tomorrow."

"Oh? Are you going to see Miss Makise with SCP-173?" Kevin looked surprised.

"I have very important things."

Rope said perfunctorily.

Originally, he was still in the mood to make progress gradually, but before the friendly conversation started, such a troublesome thing happened. The ghost knew that there was still a big trouble waiting for him. His hunch was always accurate.

Rope decided to have a showdown with Makise Kurisu.

Even if it is threatened or lured, he wants Makise Kurisu to agree to the creation of the time machine. No matter what equipment and working conditions she needs, Rope will get it for her. Compared with the pitiful two-story houses, microwave ovens and computers in the original book, he believes that the grand scientific research institute and abundant resources are the time for Makise Hong Liqi to make it. Necessary of the machine.

"where are we going?"

Sitting in the car, the tea-haired girl asked awkwardly.

According to Rope's observation, she had targeted the driver who was driving without looking at her at least 30 times. And the poor driver was already in a cold sweat.

"you do not need to know."

Luo Pei sat next to 173 and closed his eyes to rest, but the hand holding her arm was not released.

"From today, you will be my pet. If you trouble me or make me unhappy, I will give you a very painful punishment. It is best to remember clearly."

"pet…"

"Yes, pet."

173 nodded seemingly, then was silent for a while, then turned to the scenery flying by outside the window.

It seems that the relationship between Rope and 173 has been temporarily determined.

Chapter 48 Are you willing to create miracles with me?

It's another day.

After all, the efficiency of the SCP Foundation is the highest priority. After only one night of appeasement, the scars caused by the containment failure are put on the repair schedule in an orderly manner. Even the weather cleared after a heavy rain, and it was rare to see a sunny day.

The temperature is comfortable, and the footsteps of spring quietly step into everyone's side, dispelling the difficult winter.

At the new residence, Rope knocked on the cage made overnight and nodded in satisfaction.

The space extended by the enchantment technique is locked. The secret technique to control the darkness. Dispel the illusion and leave the reality behind. The cage in front of him, like a small prison, bound SCP-173, which had been unsealed. Not only that, the iron chain tied to the tea-haired girl's neck is also further strengthening her restraint, preventing her from getting close to the edge of the cage.

"That's fine."

Rope took the towel that Kevin handed casually, wiped his hands and ordered.

"Give me the furniture next to her cage. I may live with her for a period of time in the next few days. If there is no escape behavior, send her to the containment facility with this cage."

Kevin looked at the dark-haired youth gratefully.

"Mr. Rope, I really don't know how to thank you... You helped us so much."

Luo Pei smiled and said, "If you want to thank you, go to Xie Wingate. By the way, you will go and give him the request I made yesterday. In Tokyo or around Tokyo, I need a large research institute that is fully equipped. It’s very embarrassing and you don’t need it, but there must be a particle collider."

The telephone microwave oven in the original book can only make emails go back in time, thus triggering the butterfly effect, but what Rope needs is a time machine that can ride people. In this way, everything he is talking about now is necessary.

"this…"

Kevin took out the application and said hesitantly.

"The funding of the branch is not enough to buy a non-foundation research institute..."

"Then let Wingate find a way to threaten brainwashing. If you have moral difficulties, you can only handle the official procedures, and leave the rest of the personnel issues to me."

Rope couldn't refuse to say.

"Okay, Dr. Kevin, let Miss Makise come to me, and at the same time take away all the researchers who wander around outside. I hate being watched by others."

"...Understand." Kevin nodded without worrying about him anyway. "But please forgive me. I will still leave a few task force soldiers outside the door. The unsealed characteristics of SCP-173 are too dangerous. Even if you control her, we must have a second-hand containment. protect."

"If she really leaves me, those soldiers will not be able to escape... Well, it's up to you."

Rope waved his hand and walked out of SCP-173's new home with Kevin.

The girl with the chain on her neck watched him leave, but there was no hatred in her eyes, but a kind of curiosity and greed.

What a distorted creature, and how bright it is.

SCP-173, which has been sealed in the statue for hundreds of years, has never seen an existence like Rope. After the brief killing intent and unwillingness he had had, her simple mind was filled with an unspeakable feeling, too. This kept her stunned and allowed Rope to shape the prison.

"That's right. SCP-049 has been applying to see you. Although she hasn't gone violently, she has become more anxious every minute of the past ten hours. What are your plans?"

As soon as the black-haired youth sat down on the soft chair of the external simple research room, Kevin at the door turned his head and said.

"Leave it, I don't have time to turn off that doctor's business right now." Rope drank the herbal tea and replied lightly.

"Dr. Kevin, advice to you. Putting down the SCP containment temporarily, your mental state has reached its limit. After handing my application to Wingate, go get a good night's sleep."

"…thanks."

Kevin touched his dark circles, smiled bitterly and shook his head and left the research room-he really needed a rest.

After the old man left, there was only the sound of Luo Pei tasting tea in the quiet environment, and the sound of 173 moving the chain from the speaker next to the display.

The girl stood facing the wall in the corner, holding her hands on the wall, as if she had not broken free from the statues, but doing this action as a young girl, unexpectedly gave people a shy illusion.

Kind of cute...

Luo Pei, whose morality has fallen below the negative value, doesn't matter whether the opponent's predecessor is a concrete statue or not, he just drinks tea with the girl's appearance, even the herbal tea is a bit delicious.

"Report, Researcher Makise Kurisu has arrived!"

"Let her in."

The soldier reported interrupting Rope's Yaxing. The young black-haired man tidied up his suit and placed the teacup on the wooden table on the left.

After an eye-catching salute, the soldiers retreated, and then a girl with brown-red hair in a white coat holding a document and a notepad stepped into Rope's office with a brisk pace.

The assistant's face is not very good, which is probably related to the lack of sleep yesterday.

"Mr. Rope..." She grudgingly raised a smiling face and greeted the black-haired youth.

Luo Pei returned her with a relieved smile.
