The audience in the live broadcast room was slow to react.
They noticed the huge change in Leon Lake's mood, but they couldn't figure out what caused the change.
"Damn it, am I missing something?"
"Yeah, why did Leon Lake suddenly ask them to leave Site 17? Could something happen at Site 17?"
"It seems to be because of the quarrel between those doctors, but what does this mean?"
"I don't understand. My head itches."
"..."
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Natasha Romanoff, like most of the audience, was confused.
But she was sure that Nick Fury had guessed something, so she asked directly: "Boss, what happened?"
Other agents and senior executives also looked over.
Nick Fury pondered for a while before speaking: "I remember 239 seemed to be playing a role-playing game..."
"Yes, the character she plays is a witch."
Nick Fury corrected: "To be precise, she is a righteous and kind witch."
Natasha Romanoff frowned. "What's the problem?"
Nick Fury narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "What if the character you play is a good person full of justice?"
Natasha Romanoff responded automatically: "Isn't that great? Being the witch's righteous partner... Wait! Oh hell!"
Natasha Romanoff's face turned paler as she spoke, and by the end, her eyes were wide open.
She stared at the screen in a daze, with an indelible fear in her expression.
She murmured:
"Good people...definitely have to protect the righteous witch..."
In the picture.
Leon Lake left the meeting room and quickly returned to his bedroom.
While rummaging through the drawer, he called Zyn and Lois.
Before Leon Lake could speak, Lois's voice rang out, and he quickly said, "I have applied for another field project at Site 14, and will be leaving Site 17 soon."
"Where's Zyn?"
"She has left Site 17 and is heading for Site 19." Lois's voice trembled slightly when she said this.
Perhaps he had a perception of something, so he didn't even ask what might happen, but just repeatedly reminded: "Be careful! Leon!"
"I see."
Leon Lake paused for a moment, then murmured, "Work went well, yeah."
He immediately hung up the phone.
Snap!
There was a sound of gun loading.
Stroking the silver pistol in his hand, Leon Lake's temperament changed little by little.
From indifference,
To calm,
To extreme coldness!
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned.
Pistol?
Leon Lake, what is this for?
Rebel?
Then, Leon Lake turned on the recorder and an extremely calm voice sounded:
"Dr. Clef's proposed termination plan for SCP-239 is highly feasible..."
He paused and said,
"Unfortunately, Dr. Clef made the mistake of not sending his suggestion over a secure channel, but instead presented it in the meeting.
"Information about his planned actions was known to more than one staff member at Site-17."
After hearing this, the audience in the live broadcast room were still a little confused.
Since we are all doctors, what's wrong with knowing the execution plan?
Then, Leon Lake was heard saying.
"According to Incident Report 239-A, SCP-239 has established contact with a dozen personnel at Site-17.
"Whether it's out of general sympathy, or as Dr. Clef predicted..."
At this point, Leon Lake paused, took a deep breath, and said in a concentrated voice:
"Four doctors have shown irrational attitudes in an attempt to prevent Dr. Clef from carrying out his plan to terminate 239!"
"Since SCP-239's reality-distorting ability makes the personnel on site regard it as a friend, I speculate that the termination plan has been leaked!"
At this point, the audience in the live broadcast room was completely stunned.
Until Leon Lake's last words appeared -
"SCP-239 will most likely fail containment!"
Countless viewers stared at the screen in front of them with dull expressions, their faces full of disbelief.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
The dead silent live broadcast room suddenly exploded, with countless barrages of comments sweeping in like an overwhelming force.
"What the hell? Is this...really?"
"SCP-239 will fail containment? It's a Keter-level, Class 4 reality bender!"
"I'm confused. Does that mean those staff members' minds were twisted by 239, and the orphans would protect her?"
"No wonder those doctors were arguing so hard, it turns out they were trying to stop Dr. Clef from executing 239..."
"Oh my god, I have goosebumps."
S.H.I.E.L.D.
By this time, Natasha had completely understood.
Understood why the doctors are arguing out of character.
Understood why Leon Lake repeatedly emphasized that the two friends should leave early...
"It turns out that he had guessed it from the beginning..."
Looking at Leon Lake's lonely but tough back on the screen, Natasha Romanoff showed admiration.
But then her heart started to worry again: "Since he knew that 239 was very likely to fail containment, why didn't he leave?"
Alas~
Nick Fury let out a bitter sigh: "Would Leon be that kind of person?"
Natasha Romanoff was silent.
Screen.
Leon Lake turned off the recorder, placed the gun on the table, and walked out of the bedroom.
After passing through several office areas, he came to the conference room again.
The crowd was dispersing; the quarrel was apparently over.
Leon Lake was unable to find Dr. Clef and Dr. Kondraki, so he randomly stopped a researcher who was in a hurry.
"Friend, is the meeting over? What was the result?"
The other party adjusted his glasses, looked at Leon Lake and forced a smile:
"What else can I do? Dr. Clef is a lunatic. He actually proposed to kill the kind people... ahem, his plan has no chance of success at all!"
Facing Leon Lake's gaze that seemed to be able to see through his soul, the researcher looked obviously unnatural.
He coughed lightly, broke free of Leon Lake's hand on his shoulder, and his expression became cold: "So the plan was rejected."
Leon Lake showed a look of understanding and asked:
"So where are Dr. Clef and Dr. Kondraki now?"
Facing Leon Lake's calm but oppressive gaze, the researcher coughed twice unnaturally, avoided his gaze, and said in a deep voice:
"Dr. Kondraki is said to be studying SCP-408. As for the executioner Clef, who knows? Maybe he went back to Site 19?"
After saying that, without waiting for Leon Lake to ask any more questions, the other party fled away.
Leon Lake was left alone, standing there, lost in thought.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
"There's definitely something wrong with this guy!"
Natasha Romanoff shouted, pointing at the screen.
Nick Fury rolled his eyes, and even a blind man could see that there was something wrong with him.
But the most difficult thing right now is that the plan has been exposed, and the 'traitor' with a twisted mind will be stimulated and will definitely find a way to 'protect the righteous witch'!
Nick Fury looked at Leon Lake on the screen with an expression of pity.
In his opinion, this is a dead end!
What can Leon Lake, an ordinary researcher, do?
Kamar-Taj.
The Ancient One stared at the researcher who was walking away for a long time before looking away.
He sighed slowly.
He saw something familiar in the researcher—
Green energy particles...
This is the energy manifestation affected by the reality benders!
From the very beginning, Ancient One knew that things were beginning to get out of control.
What he didn't expect was that Leon Lake would choose to stay.
Stark Industries Building.
"This guy..." Tony curled his lips: "Want to be a hero again? This time, it's almost certain death!"
Although he said so, his eyes still revealed a kind of respect that belongs to a man.
Colonel Rhodes pondered for a long time, crossed his arms, and said hesitantly: "In fact, if Dr. Clef reacts, we may not have no chance of winning."
Tony glanced at him: "Chances of success? A group of powerless PhD researchers going to deal with a level 4 reality bender who can make his wish come true? This is absolutely hellish!"
Colonel Rhodes asked back: "Then among the several deaths that Leon Lake experienced before, which one was not difficult?"
Tony opened his mouth and let out a sigh.
He looked at the screen, at the man with a calm face, and prayed silently in his heart.
"Leon Lake, please don't die. I want to see more of the collection..."
At this moment, the screen above the sky suddenly went dark.
When the picture appeared again, it seemed as if several days had passed.
Appearing on the screen are Dr. Kondraki and Leon Lake.
Snap~
Hiss~
Phew~
"Are you sure you don't want to have one?" Dr. Kondraki raised the cigarette in his hand, and Leon Lake replied in the negative.
Dr. Kondraki didn't care. Instead, he took out a document and praised Leon Lake:
"Honestly, your thinking is frighteningly sharp. Not everyone can infer from these subtle information that 239 is about to fail."
Leon Lake said calmly: "So, what is the situation now?"
"Clef has been warned by the top leaders of the Foundation. He has left Site 19 and is heading towards Site 17. This lunatic!"
Leon Lake did not respond but took the document from Dr. Kondraki.
"This was sent to headquarters five hours ago by Clef."
Leon Lake took it and saw that it was Dr. Clef's personal record.
[I, Alto Clef, being of sound mind and body, hereby declare that the actions I am about to take are solely in my own name and I am the only one involved. I have not received any orders from any outside agency or official representative of the Foundation.]
[I also declare that I am a liar. Which part of my previous statement was a lie will be left for historians and you post-investigators to figure out. Maybe I lied about being a liar. This is an infinite loop that will make your brain explode.]
Seeing this, Dr. Kondraki bit his cigarette and cursed inwardly at the right time: "This b*****d, you may not know, he has a nickname - the father of lies!"
Leon Lake didn't say anything but continued reading.
[I believe I have not taken action for too long. Now is the time to act.]
[If my suspicions are confirmed and Site-17 personnel have been compromised, it is only a matter of time before someone informs SCP-239 of my plan of action. After that, no one knows what the consequences will be.]
[My unique character flaws will protect me from any reality distortion, but a CK-class shift is still a CK-class shift. All things considered, I like the world as it is.]
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room was stunned.
"WTF? Leon Lake's guess came true?"
"239's containment breach caused a CK-class transformation?"
"It's crazy, absolutely crazy!"
"....."
S.H.I.E.L.D.
The agents and senior executives were also shocked.
No one expected that Dr. Clef had already anticipated this.
Nick Fury stared at one of the sentences - 'My unique character flaw will protect me from any reality distortion'...
Then he was shocked: "Dr. Clef is immune to reality distortion?"
Then his attention returned to the screen.
[I have created some weapons using telekill alloy in the short time necessary for preparation: they will provide me with a variety of killing options at different ranges.]
[By the way, I am very disappointed in the lack of initiative of the rest of the Foundation: knowing of the vulnerability of a highly dangerous Keter-class SCP, they still refused to neutralize it.]
[Perhaps this is a result of the SCP's reality-bending ability or perhaps it's sentimentality towards a dangerous weapon in the form of a child. More likely the latter. My "colleagues" have shown a disturbing tendency to be unnecessarily tolerant of highly destructive humanoid Keter-class SCPs.]
Seeing this, the entire Marvel world audience was stunned.
Because whatever Leon Lake or Dr. Clef guessed, all came true...
