“So that’s how it is…” After reading the entire file, Feng Bujue murmured to himself, “As expected of the Foundation in the future… Although they can't explore definitions like ‘Thriller Paradise,’ ‘Missions,’ and ‘Players’ due to the system's influence, they've almost figured out the concepts of these things under limited conditions… Reaching this point, the system really has to respond.”

“However, it seems impossible to completely erase their knowledge of SCP-3232…” After pondering for a few seconds, Brother Jue changed his mind and said, “Even if I destroy the current facility I’m in and kill everyone here, the project file cannot be destroyed; if I want to completely erase the traces of SCP-3232 in this world, I have to kill everyone in this plane who has read this file, and destroy all electronic and paper databases of the Foundation that contain information about this project… Considering that this future world may have data storage formats I don’t know about, even if I do the above two points, I may not succeed…”

Thinking of this, a countermeasure that seemed insane to ordinary people… sprouted naturally in Brother Jue’s mind.

“Or… I could try to destroy this whole world?” Brother Jue thought.

Fortunately, this idea lasted less than two seconds before being overturned by himself.

“Hmm… no, no, the thinking is wrong.” Feng Bujue immediately thought again, “The content of the mission is not to completely erase this world’s awareness of Thriller Paradise, but to have me [destroy all observation records regarding SCP-3232 within the Foundation], that is to say…”

Soon, a reasonable conclusion that also conformed to the system’s wishes clearly appeared in Feng Bujue’s mind.

“Understood…” After thinking for a moment, Brother Jue's thoughts suddenly became clear, “The system wants to sever contact with this world…”

Having figured this out, many other details became clear.

“SCP-3232 was originally an uncontainable project with a controversial ‘existence’… As long as the system never generates scripts in this plane again, then the [SCP-3232] document will soon become a mere scrap of paper.

And the only ‘evidence’ supporting this empty paper is the ‘observation record.’

Once I destroy those records… then, without anyone doing anything, after a few years, the Foundation itself will classify SCP-3232 as something that ‘never existed,’ and whether its documentation can be classified as neutralized (any project that has been destroyed, or has lost its anomalous properties, extradimensionality, or harmful effects; projects under this class should have a memorandum recording prior information about the project) remains to be seen.

As for the feasibility of destroying the ‘observation records,’ it is obviously extremely high…

First of all, observation records are not conceptual things like project files, but narrative texts… a detailed list of a series of times, places, and events.

If the project file is destroyed, it can be rewritten based on people's memories, but after the observation record is destroyed, it is impossible to rewrite it based on memory—because the basic requirements for this type of record are detail and accuracy, not just getting the general idea right… Under this requirement, human memory is undoubtedly unreliable.

Secondly, unless the research has made some substantial and breakthrough progress, otherwise, this type of lengthy and constantly added file like ‘observation records’ will not be transmitted from this experimental facility.

For example, the [SCP-3232] project file that I am currently browsing does not have any observation records of the Thriller Paradise script process, but only mentions the existence of an ‘observation plan.’

Obviously, those detailed observation reports must be kept within ‘the facility that carries out the observation plan.’

That is—the base I am in right now.

This is also why the system will try every means to guide me to break through the sandbox and come here.

To put it bluntly… this mission is very clear, just act according to the literal instructions; the difficult part is… the player must speculate on the system’s intentions and the above information before acting.

Only by knowing both what to do and why… can the player complete the task that the system really wants the player to complete without ‘revealing their intentions.’

If you act rashly without seeing through this step… then, the player will most likely expose the goal of the mission.

The result of this is likely… that these NPCs will desperately transfer the ‘observation records’ out, leading to mission failure.

To take a step back, even if they fail to transfer the records, as long as they convey the player’s ‘intention’ to the outside world… then the action is equivalent to a complete failure.

Because in that case, the entire Foundation will know—SCP-3232 exists, and not only exists, but is also trying to get SCP-3232-1 to destroy the evidence of its existence.

Although, personally, I still passed the script, the ‘system’ will be completely exposed as a result, and SCP-3232 will definitely be upgraded to a keter-class project by the Foundation, and more actively researched… that would be an endless disaster.”

Feng Bujue spent two minutes silently narrating the above content, so as to completely sort out his thoughts.

Next, his goal became clear.

In any case, he must first find out how the observation records are stored: for example, where is the electronic file of this thing, are there any paper or other media backups, etc.; then, destroy the records without revealing his intentions. And if… his intentions are exposed, then he must silence all those who know about it before anyone can transmit this matter out of the base.

At this stage, Feng Bujue believes that the most efficient solution is… to blow up this facility with a nuclear bomb.

He knows that most of the SCP Foundation's bases have this kind of emergency plan. Once certain projects (usually keter-class projects) are out of control, the nuclear weapon launch site closest to the facility will immediately launch a nuclear bomb at the base, prioritizing crisis suppression. As for the accompanying casualties… compared to the “crisis that may lead to the extinction of mankind,” let alone the people in one base, even the people in ten bases can be sacrificed in an instant.

However, Feng Bujue is also very clear that if this kind of plan is launched, there must be a corresponding program to transfer all the data in the facility in the first time.

Therefore, Brother Jue must take this point into account when acting. It's not like he can just forcibly release a few things like 682, cause a nuclear bomb to explode, and things will be done…

“Okay, my concessions and sincerity are all in front of you.” After a while, Dr. Cox spoke again, to Feng Bujue, “It’s your turn, right?”

“Hehe…” Feng Bujue laughed twice, and put his gaze back on the doctor, “Sure…” He picked up his coffee and took a sip, “May I ask, what do you want to get from me?”

“Why do you ask knowing the answer?” Dr. Cox pointed to the suspended computer screen, and continued, “Of course, I hope that you can cooperate with us to improve the information of this project.”

“Are you talking about this SCP-3232?” Feng Bujue asked again.

"Yes," Cox replied.

“Oh… well…” Brother Jue’s flickering大法 (Dafa - great law/skill) started smoothly, “Hehe… it seems you completely misunderstood.”

“What are you saying?” Cox looked suspicious, not knowing whether she was doubting the truth of what the other party said, or wondering what was wrong with the project file.

"What what?" Feng Bujue repeated and asked back, "Am I not clear enough?"

Cox thought for a while, and then said: "Then... tell me, in what aspects are we misunderstanding?"

“You should ask in a different way.” Feng Bujue said, “In what aspects is your understanding correct?” He spread his hands, revealing a mocking smile, "The answer is... none."

"You want to tell me..." This time, Dr. Cox's expression became blatant distrust, "Our SCP-3232 project document is all meaningless and erroneous descriptions?"

"Yes." Feng Bujue's tone when answering was so confident that anyone who heard it would be shaken to a certain extent.

“Hmph…” Dr. Cox immediately sneered.

This is also a normal reaction… Even if what Brother Jue said is true, Dr. Cox cannot immediately accept this statement.

She has devoted a lot of effort to this project, and the observation plan is also the first large-scale project in the Foundation to use the “parallel universe area mirror generation system.” She will definitely not overturn all her previous research results just because of a few words from an unknown and unreliable cross-dimensional creature.

"Okay..." After sneering, Dr. Cox continued, "Then I would like to ask you, what is the true face of this project?"

“It may be difficult for me to just talk to you about it.” Feng Bujue said, shrugging his shoulders, “Besides… I can tell that you don’t believe me.” He smiled, mocking without concealment, “Whether it’s out of female-specific stubbornness, or out of unwillingness to accept the labor you’ve put in, at least at this moment… compared to me, someone who knows the ‘truth,’ you are more willing to believe in the research results you have obtained.”

His not-so-long speech used tricks such as aggressive tactics, advancing by retreating, and playing hard to get, and also deliberately brought in a bit of gender discrimination… it can be said that every word and sentence was stuck on the reverse scale of this strong woman, Cox.

When Cox heard this, naturally, anger rose secretly, but she couldn't get angry, otherwise it would confirm what the other party said.

"Then what do you want?" The doctor tried her best to control her expression and tone, and said to Brother Jue in a deep voice.

Feng Bujue was waiting for the other party to ask this question, but when Dr. Cox said it, he still maintained a lukewarm attitude and replied: "Doctor, the observation plan mentioned in the file is your responsibility, right?"

"What?" Cox instantly heard the implication of Brother Jue's words, "Could it be that you still want to see the observation records?"

"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded and replied, "Not many are needed, just take out three or five. Combining several different records... I can explain the principle of SCP-3232 in more detail."

"Absurd!" The next second, Cox yelled sharply without thinking, and questioned, "So far, you haven't said a word about the substantive content of 3232... But you have repeatedly tried to probe information about this project; I seriously doubt... you don't intend to tell us anything at all, or... you don't know anything about SCP-3232 yourself, so you want to use us to find information about it."

Her words were sonorous and her reasoning was logical.

But after hearing this, Feng Bujue was as calm as ever, and his expression did not change: "Doctor, you are excited."

"Don't change the subject." Cox glared at Brother Jue and said coldly.

"Hehe..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Whether you believe it or not, I know more about you than you think."

"Oh?" Cox raised her eyebrows and continued, "For example?"

"When I said the word 'o5 personnel' just now, didn't you find it strange?" Feng Bujue prompted.

As soon as this statement came out, Cox's expression changed drastically, and she thought to herself: "Indeed... how could he know this word? I have been monitoring the process of d19 chatting with him, and it was not mentioned at all, and he watched the 3232 document after that..."

"If you need it, I can immediately say the numbers and approximate characteristics of ten SCP projects right now." Feng Bujue didn't give the other party too much time to think, and quickly continued, "Of course, that has nothing to do with my request for you to take out the 'observation records.'" He paused, "I just want to tell you that I don't bother to trick you into getting information, because I already know enough."

“The reason why I want to tell you about 3232 in conjunction with observation records is because it is indeed ‘necessary.’” Brother Jue spoke quickly, without giving the other party a chance to interrupt, “It’s like… if I ask you to give someone a lecture on discrete mathematics or solid state physics without any textbook assistance… can you teach it?”

Cox did not answer this question, because the answer was obvious.

She hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "So... you mean, you must combine examples to explain the characteristics of SCP-3232?"

"That's right," Feng Bujue replied.

"Then why not combine your own example?" Cox said again, "Your experience in the psychotronics underground experimental base just now is not a ready-made 3232 activity record?"

"Sorry, I can't do it," Feng Bujue replied.

"Why?" Cox asked.

“One cannot know the true face of Mount Lu, because one is in the mountain itself.” Brother Jue used the above fourteen characters to answer the other party.

He didn’t know how the system translated it, but Dr. Cox clearly understood…

“Hmph…” She thought for more than ten seconds, and replied somewhat impulsively, “Then let’s do this… you can report the information of ten projects first, and let me hear if you really know it or pretend to know it.”
