The file in Brit's hand is no different from the file he saw before. But judging from the content, the surprise that this file brought to him is stronger than every previous file.
"SCP-682, Hard-To-Destroy Reptile..." Brit murmured.
The others also subconsciously surrounded Brit and looked at the file carefully, trying not to miss any detail.
[ Item #: SCP-682 ]
[ Object Class: Keter ]
[ Description: SCP-682 is a large, vaguely reptile-like creature of unknown origin. It appears to be extremely intelligent, and was observed to engage in complex communication with SCP-079 during their limited time of exposure. SCP-682 appears to have a hatred of all life, which has been expressed in several interviews during containment. (See Addendum 682-B).
SCP-682 has always been observed to have extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, though exact levels vary with its form. SCP-682's physical body grows and changes very quickly, growing or decreasing in size as it consumes or sheds material. SCP-682 gains energy from anything it ingests, organic or inorganic. Digestion seems to be aided by a set of filtering gills inside of SCP-682's nostrils, which are able to remove usable matter from any liquid solution, enabling it to constantly regenerate from the acid it is contained in. SCP-682's regenerative capabilities and resilience are staggering, and SCP-682 has been seen moving and speaking with its body 87% destroyed or rotted.
In case of containment breach, SCP-682 is to be tracked and re-captured by all available Mobile Task Forces, and no teams with fewer than seven (7) members are cleared to engage it. To date (██-██-████), attempted breaches have numbered at seventeen (17), while successful breaches have numbered at six (6). (See Addendum 682-D). ]
The whole file is quite long, and there is even an appendix included. That's a transcript of a Foundation researcher's conversation with SCP-682. Looking at the file itself, it is already bad. But after reading the appendix, they immediately felt a sense of fear for SCP-682!
[ Addendum 682-B: Portion of recorded transcript of ██████.
Dr. ██████: Now, why did you kill those farmers?
SCP-682: (No verbal communication)
Dr. ██████: If you don't talk now, we will remove you from this attempt and place you back into-
SCP-682: (Incomprehensible)
Dr. ██████: Pardon? (Motions to move microphone closer)
SCP-682: (Incomprehensible)
Dr. ██████: Speak up. (To Personnel D-085) Move the mic up closer.
SCP-682: …they were (Incomprehensible)…
Dr. ██████: (To Personnel D-085) That microphone has only so much gain, move it closer to it!
Personnel D-085: His throat's messed up man, look at it! He ain't talking- (Gasps and screams)
SCP-682: (Appearing to assault D-085's body) …they were… disgusting…
Dr. ██████: (Retreats from the room)
After reading the appendix, they couldn't calm down for a long time. Viewers were also immersed in the shock. This silence lasted for about ten seconds, and then Vale was the first to speak:
"Is this thing...a monster with a brain?"
"No, I don't think it's that simple!" Brit shook his head. "It is said in the file that its origin is unknown and that it has extremely high intelligence. From the conversations it has with the researchers, it can be seen that its intelligence may not be lower than that of humans. This existence is not straightforward!"
Kiwo and Plumbella, who were next to him, immediately showed a frightened expression when they heard that.
"The files also say that it hates all life, but I don't know the specific reason..." Brit nodded and said, "Yes, this point is also very thought-provoking. Such an intelligent creature with extremely strong power, fast speed, and super regenerative and adaptable abilities hates other life forms... What exactly does this mean? Why does it hate?"
After Brit finished speaking, the others shook their heads blankly. They are confused about this question.
And the viewers in the stream room also became very curious:
"Whoa! Is SCP-682 from outer space?"
"Damn! This thing is the strongest SCP I've seen so far!"
"I want to see its true appearance!"
"Its name sounds so overbearing!"
"Super strength, super speed, super regenerative ability and adaptability, my god..."
"Hate all life, does that mean it will kill all life if given the chance?"
In the game, the group discussed for a while, but there was no result from the discussion. Finally, Brit said: "Let's go and have a look first!"
The others naturally had no objection and followed Brit into the hall.
After entering the interior of the hall, they had a deeper understanding of the huge area of the hall. Looking up, you can see the high dome. There are even floors in the high places, and they don't know where and what exists inside. The hall was empty; only a few pillars stood.
After they looked around, they came straight to the deepest steel gate. During this process, the sirens never stopped. It felt a little jarring at first, but soon, they got used to it. When they came to the front and back of the gate, they looked back and forth carefully, and then saw that there was a card reader on the wall next to it.
"Are we going to open it?" Plumbella bit her lip and asked in a low voice.
The others did not speak immediately. They looked at the gate, imagining the scene behind the gate involuntarily in their minds.
About four or five seconds later, Brit took a deep breath and was about to speak. But he just opened his mouth, suddenly, behind the gate in front of them, there was a roar that could almost shatter people's eardrums.
And after the roar sounded, the super steel gate, with a height of six or seven meters, suddenly shook violently, and there was a terrifying protrusion on it. It looks like something hit the gate on the other side.
The group had squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms, and everyone looked pained. They stared at the steel gate in horror, a fear that could not be suppressed quickly grew from the depths of their heart and was unearthed.
