At this point,
The audience, who had just been discussing the ruthless Empress, collectively gasped.
Then, chaos erupted instantly.
"Oh my god! Global-scale destruction? A world-ending catastrophe?"
"Damn, is this the power of a Supreme Entity? Just casually triggering the apocalypse?"
"Shit! So this time, the agents have to contain something like this?"
"Honestly, I can't see even a sliver of hope for success."
"Yeah, even if the agent this time is someone as strong as the ruthless Empress, still…"
A wave of pessimism spread through the chat group.
Even before seeing the containment target,
People had already lost hope in this operation.
The gap in power was simply too vast.
Amid the endless discussions, more information appeared on the luminous screen.
[As stipulated in Section 1, Paragraph 4 of the January Resolution, SCP-2845 is to be contained through the joint efforts of the Foundation, the Global Occult Coalition (GOC), Prometheus Labs, Inc., and other anomalous response organizations, as well as the security forces of affected nations, national defense departments, and the United Nations Task Force "Blue Alpha."]
[To maintain the containment of SCP-2845, the Foundation has authorized the indefinite use of outsourced containment consultants under Operational Policy 336.87.b.]
[Per the Revised Public Information Policy, all data regarding SCP-2845 and its containment is classified as Level 3 (High-Security) and is to be overseen by Special Information Unit 45.]
[Disinformation regarding SCP-2845 and its containment has been disseminated. Due to the high risk of weaponization by external governments and related organizations, SCP-2845 is subject to Protocol "CHATTERBOX" under Public Information Policy 47.1.1.]
Seeing this flood of details,
The audience in the chat group was stunned.
Because this time,
There was an unprecedented multi-organization joint containment effort—even involving military forces from several nations!
And before containment had even begun, the Foundation was already enforcing secrecy protocols?
This level of preparation was unheard of, and it made the audience feel an indescribable pressure.
[Special Containment Procedures: (Uncontained) Site-100 is currently under construction for the exclusive containment of SCP-2845. Specifications are as follows:]
[A central chamber to house SCP-2845 and 216 instances of SCP-2845-1. Internal atmospheric composition: 96.3% hydrogen, 3.25% helium, and 0.45% ammonia. Temperature maintained at -110°C, pressure at 2.3 bar.]
[Nine concentric ring structures, designated Ring-A through Ring-I.]
[Six radial chambers positioned at 0°, 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, and 300° within each ring, with 0° aligned to geographic north. Each chamber's floor is embedded with a complete lead hexagram.]
Faced with this bizarre list of containment requirements,
The audience was left speechless.

Three-Body Universe
Earth
From the Foundation's past operations and their meticulous containment measures, Luo Ji knew they were an organization that took precision to the extreme.
For example, with SCP-682, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile,
They had opted for a specialized acid to counteract its nigh-indestructible regenerative abilities.
But this time,
Even the well-informed Luo Ji was baffled.
"The first measure seems rigorous, but the second and third… give me a strange feeling."
He suspected the Foundation wasn't just relying on science this time—
It almost seemed like they were incorporating…
Magic?
Especially the third measure, which inexplicably reminded him of rituals or sacrificial rites.
Then it hit him.
He mentally kicked himself for being an idiot.
SCP-2845, the Deer, wasn't just any anomaly—
It was a Supreme Entity, a being above gods!
If they were dealing with something divine, why cling to scientific reasoning?
More importantly,
The very existence of anomalies defied science and natural laws.
In other words,
The Foundation had never strictly advocated for science—just a scientific mindset in approaching the containment of anomalies.
Realizing this,
Luo Ji felt a surge of admiration.
He had no idea how the Foundation had devised this approach in such a critical moment, but it couldn't have been easy.

Section 13
"Uncle, as a trained sorcerer, what do you make of this?"
Xuan Wen turned to Uncle.
The group instinctively looked at the old man.
"Aiya!"
Uncle smacked Jackie upside the head with his finger, scolding irritably:
"Have you forgotten? You must use magic to defeat magic!"
"Magic?" Jackie rubbed his head, confused. "But they're dealing with a Supreme God!"
Whack!
Another finger flick landed.
"That's why they need rituals, you dumpling!"
Adjusting his glasses, Uncle muttered thoughtfully:
"Altars are ancient structures used to worship gods and seek blessings."
"Rituals are dialogues between man and deity—through ceremony, music, offerings… a bridge between mortal and divine."
"So… what exactly is the Foundation trying to achieve with this ritual?"
...
As the audience across the multiverse continued debating,
More containment measures appeared on the screen.
And when they saw them,
They suddenly realized—
The previous three measures didn't seem so mystical after all.
