I’m In Charge of SCP

The exit of the secret passage on the B6 level was located at the end of a corridor. The two came out of the secret door. The imaginary scene of being surrounded by monsters did not happen. Yang Xue gently breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Jue smiled, "It's not too late to go back." Yang Xue gave him a blank look.

Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders and began to observe the surrounding environment. According to the information provided by Site Director Wenbai, the B6 floor was a maze-type design, intricate and complex, and the object they were looking for was in the northeast corner of the maze.

It was considered a defensive design, and without a map, it would take a lot of time for an intruder to find the object, which bought Zhang Jue and his team some time - Zhang Jue himself had a strong sense of direction. Even without a compass, he could still identify the direction.

The two checked their surroundings briefly to make sure it was safe and then began to head in the direction of their target. When they came to the second intersection, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them. Yang Xue's heart jumped into his throat.

"What was that?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"I don't know." Zhang Jue pulled out the Colt pistol he'd scavenged from the dead security officer and carefully leaned against the wall, "Whatever it is, we'll shoot them dead."

The two of them pressed against the wall and advanced slowly. Just as they were only two meters from the corner, a humanoid anomaly suddenly jumped out of it.

"SURPRISE!" It raised its hands high and shouted, "Be afraid of me, mortal! I am the mighty RO-MAN! Tremble in fear! Tremble in fear! Hahaha!"

What appeared in front of the two of them was a humanoid monster, which, if I had to describe it, was a gorilla with a diving helmet, and on its helmet, two antennae were twitching continuously.

At the moment, he was holding his hands high, making all kinds of strange movements, and his mouth kept screaming, and his purpose was just to scare the two of them. Not only Zhang Jue, but Yang Xue was also much bolder after her trip to SCP-087.

She has also developed a certain immunity to such things that startled her. Not to mention that the "monster" in front of her was not scary at all. It feels like an NPC in an amusement park. But he thinks he was scary enough and so proud of himself.

The three of them just stared at each other.

A minute later, because the two people in front of him were still in a dumbfounded state, the monster felt unusual and asked, "Other people would usually get scared, aren't you guys scared of me?"

"Pfft." Seeing his naive look, Yang Xue couldn't help but laugh it out. The atmosphere suddenly calmed down, and the situation was very awkward.

Seeing Yang Xue's reaction, the creature seemed a bit bewildered, creating self-doubt as it asked Zhang Jue again, "You guys aren't scared of me at all?"

Only to see Zhang Jue immediately take several steps back and cross his arms over his chest in a fearful manner. "Oops, you're the tall, evil, and majestic Ro-Man? Ooohh, it shivers my timbers!" His acting was pompous and his voice effeminate, putting Yang Xue on the spot.

The monster seemed to gain some confidence when it saw Zhang Jue's reaction, "That's right, this lady, aren't you afraid of me, the Monstrous Ro-Man?"

Yang Xue looked at him and then looked at Zhang Jue, only to see him desperately winking at her.

Yang Xue sighed, looked away, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of you, Ro-Man."

Seeing that both of them were "afraid" of it, the monster finally smiled happily.

Zhang Jue gently sighed in relief and saw Yang Xue's strange gaze, and he asked, "This Ro-Man, if I'm not mistaken, you're SCP-2006, right?"

The monster was very happy to have scared someone and nodded, and he said, "Yeah, yeah, that's me. How about that? You're scared because I'm SCP-2006, right? Haha!"

Zhang Jue glanced at Yang Xue and said meaningfully, "Yes, I was almost scared to death."

Item No: SCP-2006

Object Class: Keter

Description: SCP-2006 is an anomalous spherical individual with a diameter of 50 cm in standard mode. SCP-2006 claims that its goal is to cause feelings of fear or dread in as many humans as possible. To accomplish this goal, SCP-2006 is able to change its shape, mass, size, density, chemical composition, and sound in any way it wishes.

There is no known way to harm SCP-2006, and the possibility of its shapeshifting ability is unknown and currently believed to have no limit. SCP-2006 is fond of using the appearance of creatures and villains from horror and science fiction movies he has watched, most often using the appearance of "Ro-Man" from the 1953 film "Robo-Man." SCP-2006 usually tries to frighten anyone who approaches him, but after that, he becomes friendly.

Although SCP-2006 goal was to cause as much fear as possible, he is not very good at identifying which concepts can cause fear in humans and will continue to find new ways to achieve his goals. His poor recognition extends to human emotion identification, as it is unable to distinguish minor emotional shifts that are obvious to humans - i.e., it cannot differentiate between the truth and falsity of fear.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2006 must be continuously monitored for his behavior and shapeshift at any time. All personnel approaching the SCP-2006 will need to attend a performance training class focused on showing fear and surprise.

Once a month, SCP-2006 will be given at least one low-quality horror film or science fiction film with a horror component. All communication with SCP-2006 must confirm that SCP-2006 still considers the content of those works he watches were very scary.

-----

When he first came across SCP-2006, Zhang Jue didn't find it scary like most people because it was just a shapeshifting monster that would scare people and didn't know how to scare them.

Many people did not understand why it was classified as a Keter level anomaly. But it only took two minutes for Zhang Jue to realize how scary this anomaly was. It was true that SCP-2006 was not a demigod maniac or an invincible big lizard, but it was not as dangerous as the other Keter-level humanoid that the Foundation had taken in.

Consider this, SCP-2006's goal was to scare as many people as possible, if SCP-2006 breaks through the containment and discovers exactly what it is that causes fear in people. Such as the horrors and traumatic experiences of war, what viruses and plagues can do to people or the various phobias that everyone suffers from.

If you take these things and put them into a creature with endless shapeshifting abilities, then you'll know why it was classified as Keter.

Zhang Jue whispered to Yang Xue about SCP-2006's characteristics, then asked, "SCP-2006, what are you doing here, why aren't you in your own room, and who let you out?"

SCP-2006 is generally cooperative when he's not scaring people and said, "It was a man in a black suit. He was scared by me too. He told me to wait here and said I could scare more people here. He was right! I scared you guys, right? Hahahahaha!"

The man in the black suit? If Zhang Jue remembered correctly, SCP-049 (Plague Doctor) said that the man who let him out was a man in a grey trench coat with a bowler hat.

Dammit, was there more than one intruder?
