Chapter 8 - A Kind Doctor Who Turns People into Zombies? Natasha Appears!

Asgard.

Loki looked at the light screen that had appeared before him and immediately walked over.

"What is this?" Even Loki, a well-traveled God, was awestruck by the light screen's grandeur.

Seeing no one around, he immediately used magic to create an invisible space.

This way, only he in Asgard could see this light screen.

Afterward, he began to study the light screen.

Since Loki could touch the light screen, he activated the playback function and watched the scp-096 inventory.

"A bit interesting. So it's something that happened in Midgard." Loki's lips curled into a slight smile. "Just as I thought, the creatures of Midgard are incredibly weak. If that scp-096 appeared in Asgard, even a pet cat could easily kill it."

"However," Loki seemed to think of something, "if I showed a picture of scp-096 to my foolish brother, something very interesting would surely happen, wouldn't it?"

...

At this moment, New York was bathed in bright sunshine.

Kamar-Taj was on the other side of Earth, so it was nighttime.

Ancient One stared intently at the light screen above her head.

"It's already starting the next inventory so quickly? scp-096 was already so powerful, how strong will this one be?"

...

Stark Tower.

Tony, with Pepper's help, put on his suit and tied his tie.

"A new scp? Plague Doctor? It sounds very eerie."

"You're going to be late, Mr. Stark, please hurry up." Pepper smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Got it, Pepper. I certainly won't miss this deal; it's a very big order."

...

Above the light screen.

A person dressed in an old black robe and wearing a medieval bird-beak mask prominently appeared.

Immediately, it caused a stir of exclamations.

"I know this! During the Black Death, Doctors wore this stuff!"

"Did you... see his eyes?"

"Where are his eyes? His entire face is covered by the mask!"

"I have a feeling there are eyes under his mask, making me feel uneasy."

S.H.I.E.L.D.

The moment the Plague Doctor's appearance was shown, Fury immediately had his subordinates search for information.

To see if such a character truly existed.

Even though he firmly believed this thing was fake, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Above the light screen, text reappeared.

[Object Class: Euclid]

[SCP-049, Plague Doctor.]

[His appearance is that of a medieval Plague Doctor.]

[His black robe, his bird beak, his hat—these appear to be clothing, but in reality, they are part of his body.]

[In a sense, they are his skin.]

[Upon examination, the Plague Doctor's skeletal structure is very similar to that of a human.]

[Under normal circumstances, the Plague Doctor is benevolent towards humans and very willing to cooperate with the Foundation's work.]

"How eerie, clothes are skin? Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

"This thing is benevolent? I thought all scp were terrifying monsters."

"I feel that this Doctor is definitely stronger than scp-096!"

"You're full of it, scp-096 is the strongest! A benevolent one isn't worthy of being called an scp!"

...

Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury snorted: "A benevolent scp that cooperates with work? I haven't seen one in decades."

At this moment, Hill walked forward.

"I've finished checking; there's no information whatsoever on this Doctor."

Fury secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that the so-called Foundation indeed did not exist.

The things on the light screen were just nonsense.

If such a bizarre creature existed, S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly have not even seen a shadow of it.

In that case, what exactly did that person, or that group of people, want to do by hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system?

Just to annoy me?

Fury thought this.

...

Kamar-Taj.

Ancient One looked at the Plague Doctor's eerie face.

"A creature whose clothes are flesh and blood... very similar to some dark creatures." She thought to herself, "Normally, it's friendly?"

Next, text appeared on the light screen, completely astonishing everyone.

[If the Plague Doctor perceives what he considers to be the Pestilence, he will enter an agitated state.]

[For organisms infected with the 'Pestilence', the Plague Doctor will exhibit high hostility towards them.]

[The Plague Doctor will attack the organism, specifically by touch.]

[The target will die immediately.]

"Holy cow, this setup is amazing! Friendly on weekdays, but actually a killer!"

"But he only kills organisms afflicted with the Pestilence! I think he's a good Doctor!"

"Upstairs, look closely, it's the Pestilence he perceives! Meaning anyone could be his target!"

"Exactly, maybe a normal person with nothing wrong walking down the street could just be killed by him."

"I'm looking forward to it! I really want to see how he kills organisms!"

In the light screen, text continued to display.

[After killing, the Plague Doctor always remorsefully states that killing does not effectively remove the Pestilence.]

[Next, he will retrieve many surgical tools, far exceeding the bag's capacity, from his portable toolkit to perform surgery on the organism he killed.]

[The corpse after surgery by the Plague Doctor will 'reanimate'. It will possess basic motor skills.]

[Organisms in this state are designated SCP-049-2.]

[SCP-049-2 has no basic cognitive abilities or memory; it is merely a movable corpse.]

[If SCP-049-2 receives a command from SCP-049, then SCP-049-2 will exhibit extremely strong motor skills to complete SCP-049's command.]

[SCP-049, when creating SCP-049-2, usually claims that it is a less than perfect cure.]

Everyone discussed animatedly, their interest completely ignited.

Those who were going to be late for work no longer cared.

Because the Plague Doctor's setting was just too cool.

"No cognitive ability, but well-developed motor skills, isn't that just a zombie!"

"Able to create zombies and control them! This ability is too overpowered!"

"It feels so terrifying; as long as he thinks someone has the Pestilence, he'll turn them into a zombie!"

...

X Academy.

Cyclops Scott and Logan watched the light screen in the sky together.

"Logan, I think the Plague Doctor will definitely be able to kill you; your self-healing ability won't be useful. Then, you'll turn into a zombie with an Adamantium skeleton, hahaha." Scott laughed.

"Shut up, Scott. If you met the Plague Doctor, you'd definitely be treated by him, because you have a disease called 'Small Dick'. Jean Grey must have complained about it for a long time, right." Wolverine took a puff of his cigar, revealing his classic half-smile.

Scott immediately complained: "Personal attacks are going too far!"

At this moment, Professor Charles came over in his wheelchair.

"You two, stop bickering. I've found the exact location of Stryker's Base. All X-Men must deploy; we must thoroughly defeat Stryker and rescue the children there."

Charles paused, then looked deeply at Logan: "Don't you want to know about your past? Everything you want to know is at Stryker's."

Wolverine took another deep puff of his cigar.

Scott said: "Professor, this light screen..."

Charles smiled: "Don't worry, Scott. I will contact the creator of the light screen, or rather, the Foundation Leader of that mysterious Foundation. For now, he has no ill intentions."

...

Inside the underground Base.

Stryker looked at the text on the light screen, his eyes bloodshot.

"That's right, that's right! Mutants are the Pestilence! They are the disease! The Plague Doctor will definitely kill them!"

...

On the large screen, the text changed again.

[SCP-049, Plague Doctor, has invaded this World.]

As soon as this line of text appeared, everyone's emotions were reignited.

Everyone wanted to see the next scene.

Fury, however, had an expressionless face.

As if saying: "I don't believe a word of it."

But the following scene made Fury's expression quite spectacular.

He was first a little confused.

Then. He looked closely.

Suddenly, he was greatly alarmed.

He saw that the large screen was broadcasting a live mission being carried out by a beautiful Agent leading a team.

This Agent was Black Widow—Natasha Romanoff!
