Survival Qualification Test

Have you heard of... the SCP Foundation?

SpecialContainmentProceduresFoundation.

Control (Secure), contain (Contain), protect (Protect).

The world still has many creatures, objects, events, and even a small story that cannot be explained by common sense. A building can have a physical and psychological impact on people. These things are collectively called "containment." .

SCP-C317.

Coordinate people.

This is the latest urban legend. No, it's exaggerated to call it a legend. You can understand it as "rumors", "heard", or even "rumors."

In the ██ District of ██ City, someone witnessed a "fragment".

He was shocked when his brain crashed and recorded such a video on his mobile phone.

At noon and under too much sunlight, the two rows of road planes cast a mottled and thick shadow. The road was divided by light and darkness, and the silence was mysterious and mysterious.

On such a hot afternoon of baking halo pedestrians, a thin gray shadow appeared.

Gray shadow slowly walked across the asphalt road, as if the high temperature of the nearly melting asphalt road would not distract him. His movements were like "leisure" and "satisfied", like a farmer patrolling the wheat field, entering from the shadows bright.

The video shooting distance is very far from the incident, 20 meters or 30 meters. In short, we see the shadow of the swaying sycamore leaves, but we can't see the face of this "person".

He stayed quietly in the sun for a while, then suddenly disappeared.

Yes, just like the reason why the photographer turned on the camera.

The video began to shake violently. The photographer seemed to be too nervous and too scared. From time to time, he uttered a panic murmur, and he could clearly hear the highly suppressed throat hiss.

The photographer said: "Okay, okay, I found him. But he also seems...to find me."

The video regained consciousness from the shaking, focusing on less than 5 meters.

It is a person shrouded in "grey consciousness".

In fact, to be careful, he has not disappeared far. Specifically, using an eye ruler, we can think of it as fifteen meters directly in front of the disappearing place.

Imagine that you and your candid camera are at a diagonal diagonal line, and suddenly blinked, ho, he appeared at the two corners of the rectangle on the same end as you.

It's really uncomfortable.

Even more strange, as the distance gets closer, the pixels of the video should be higher, but this person's face is still as if he is covered with frosted glass and blurred.

The photographer insisted that although he was scared, it was not that he lost consciousness or lost his mind. The lens of the mobile phone kept focusing, and he couldn’t explain why he couldn’t get the face of the man.

When asked the photographer if he could describe and paint that person's face in detail, the photographer showed a great deal of fear and said nothing.

Let's go back to the one-minute video.

That thing is less than one meter eight (this can be regarded as the shortest in the image of urban legend monsters in the past), insisting on clothes, it is a gray upper and lower body. Sweater? shirt? Or long T? No way to know. We can presume that he really did wear clothes.

He didn't show the meaning of attack or aggression, he just stared closely (God knows why we can feel staring at this action), and then uttered an ethereal language like a distant dream.

"can you see me?"

"I, I, I..."

"can you see me?"

The photographer said nothing.

He must have been so scared that the flexible and vivid eloquence in the interview became a decoration in front of him. Or, in the face of such creatures that cannot be explained with common sense, he does not know how to answer.

In short, he did not speak.

The creature disappeared again.

The video fluctuated for a while, and it seemed that the photographer was shocked and rested for the rest of his life. Then he panted, excited and frightened, saying, "God, where is he?"

The picture returns clearly.

Behind the photographer, the precise 180-degree straight line moves slowly.

Sunshine hit his blurry gray back, as if all of it had been absorbed.

Like the ink on the 2D printed newspaper, and the irregular projections of the huge shadows of the buildings.

The next time it disappears and reappears, it is also the positive direction of the disappearance, a perfect 90-degree corner.

Who is he and what is he going to do? No way to know.

He was like a strange creature who had just arrived, wandering around in novelty and bewilderment.

We collected the Internet, newspapers, and even the drunken words of the pub after midnight and summarized several pieces of information about SCP-C317.

1. Unclear face, like frosted glass, like falling into the fog.

2. The size is not high and there is no intention of aggression

3. Ask for headless, tailless, meaningless words such as "Can you see me", or "What is the taste of living". (Attachment, the information comes from the "unanswered" person, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of the "answered" person being killed, it is strongly recommended not to answer! Do not answer!)

4. Teleport away straight line.

Regarding Article 4, we would like to make a more appropriate, more logical, more concise and perfect introduction, which is in line with the concept of "science popularization" Five simple words.

You may want to ask, will there be creatures that do not go straight? Except for snakes or some reptiles, isn't walking two points connected in a straight line?

Please note that the adjective I use is "teleport".

It seems that in a coordinate system, a straight line segment is drawn with a ruler along the X axis or Y axis.

Point A, point B, point B, point C, point C, point D, point D and point A.

Yes, if he goes back and forth, the path can even become a standard and perfect square.

It is as if he is a person living in a coordinate system. Perhaps it is two-dimensional, and it cannot be rejected as three-dimensional. We have collected many types of evidence about the former, and as for the latter, we have no evidence to refute that he is not a three-dimensional move.

Fortunately, as of now, we have not drawn people who are obviously abnormal after contacting with "coordinate people".

There is only one urban legend fanatic who is very excited about the first real collision incident in his life. After a week of follow-up observation, the fanaticism slowly subsided.

We also tried to visit the various incidents and tried to reproduce the scene of the encounter, but unfortunately no one succeeded.

It seems that SCP-C317 is really just spreading and wandering at random, and it happens to be discovered by people.

The ██ Committee of the ██ State has contacted us and carried out a friendly and friendly file transfer. We found that the earliest sighting records of SCP-C317 appeared between 1900 and 1920, which was the ██ State during the old dynasty of the ██ State. Dispute, the file is incomplete, but we can still draw obvious characteristics from the description:

1. Gray ghost moving linearly;

2. Ask about the so-called questions.

But what surprises us is that, unlike what we have, the file records a conversation between an elderly man and his conversation.

December 21, 1918.

Liujing Village, ██ County, ██ City, ██ Province

███, 72 years old, no history of mental illness, 54 years of asthma.

"Who do you look like? The guy in which village, do you wander around here at noon and do not work?"

"……Can you see me?"

"Why can't I see it! I have no eyes when I am old!"

"... (the old man did not understand)"

"What are you talking about?"

"……What time is it now?"

The old man looked at the sky.

"It's almost ten o'clock, and the old Xu's family has started beating. The young people don't hang around all day long. It's not easy for fathers and mothers to raise, so work for the family..."

"...How many years are it now?"

The old man thought about it.

"The new government house came up and called ▉国 for 8 years. I can't remember it too much. My children are mumbling about this all day long."

"...Is this time now..."

"What are you talking about?"

"(The old man didn't understand)"

The conversation is terminated and SCP-C317 disappears.

The file continued to follow the state of the elderly male after contact with SCP-C317. The male saw his anomaly disappeared and thought it was a ridiculous daydream. The male mentioned the day-to-day adventure with his family that night, and more than four people heard SCP-C317's deeds, and no abnormalities occurred.

The elderly man died of myocardial infarction 5 years later.

We re-corrected SCP-C317's file.

No aggression, no purpose.

As to whether it should be followed up and whether it should be contained, the Foundation had a fierce debate and came to the conclusion: Yes.

Dr. Skogul believes that SCP-C317 is not a simple mutant of the earth. He may be the "four-dimensional creature we have been pursuing."

Her view is that SCP-C317 does not teleport in three dimensions, but adds the dimension of "time" to the dimension of space in four dimensions. She claimed that SCP-C317 shuttled in time and space, and its movements were rapid, so we only saw him disappear and appear, and did not see the walking in the time dimension.

Dr. Skogul's views ultimately won the debate.

She insists that if we can access SCP-C317, we may be able to achieve "teleportation". The strange clothing on SCP-C317 is an example.

From the description of 1918, the clothing is very similar to what was seen in 2018, and it is highly suspected to be the same clothing. This indicates that SCP-C317 appears at a different distance (for the time being) at different observation times, and that SCP-C317 can ensure that non-four-dimensional (perhaps) items move together during the four-dimensional shuttle.

Interestingly, in a recent sighting video posted on the ██ website, an interesting audio appeared.

SCP-C317 suddenly appeared in front of the dormitory building of ██ University in ██, at 12 o'clock in the evening, and was stopped by the dormitory administrator.

"Which academy and which house are you from, why did you come back so late?"

"I'm as foggy as House 612," SCP-C317 said, "I... got lost."

SCP-C317's voice is hoarse, as if he hasn't spoken in a long time, but the words are clear and logical. Somehow, from this vague audio, we heard a hint of sadness and nostalgia.

Based on this speculation, SCP-C317 is a highly intelligent creature with advanced behaviors such as lying and imitation.

If you encounter a "person" with a vague face and instantaneous movement, please contact us in time.

If he finds you and talks to you, be careful not to answer.
