Volume 2: The crown and the hat are all over the capital, and the spirit is full of energy and enter the foggy city Chapter 57: Different History (Part 2)
Subtitle of this chapter: A conscientious young partisan and historian
"In fact, there are more evil, greater, and more indescribable existences behind these foreign objects. We in the SCP Foundation call these existences The Old Ones!"
"Foreign entities are nothing more than minions of the Great Old Ones. To be more precise, they are not even minions. They are just poor creatures affected by the evil power of the Great Old Ones."
"For reasons that are still unknown, the appearance of the aliens is like the tide, rising and falling. We speculate that perhaps the Old Ones are like the moon. When they are close to the earth, the activities of the aliens become more frequent."
"And these aliens, like the carpenter's son from Nazareth, will use the power of religion to seduce mortals. This situation is particularly difficult for us at the SCP Foundation, because we are only good at dealing with aliens, not mortals. So at that time, our SCP Foundation has to seek the cooperation of mortals like you."
"Things like this have happened several times in history. In Seris, where I came from, our predecessors once worked with the four human emperors to deal with those bald donkeys bewitched by aliens."
Well, our Master Yuan is talking about the Three Wus and One Zong, Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei Tuoba Tao, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wuzong of Tang Li Yan and Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou Chai Rong.
These four gentlemen were not polite to the bald donkey at all, which led to the "Three Wus and One Zong Disaster". Among them, the "Huaichang Persecution" launched by Emperor Wuzong of Tang confiscated tens of millions of hectares of fertile land for the Tang royal family, forced 260,000 monks and nuns to return to secular life, and demolished 4,600 temples. It was truly a brilliant record.
In fact, there has never been any "peaceful religion" in this world, and even Buddhism is no exception. The reason why they seemed harmless was that the militant faction of Buddhism, namely the Pure Land Sect, broke away and became a professional - the White Lotus Sect.
"In Japan, we used the power of local warlords to deal with the Bald Donkeys and the Christians."
That’s right, he was talking about Oda Nobunaga, the “Sixth Heavenly Demon King” who burned down Mount Hiei, and Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth shogun nicknamed “Inu-Kōfō”, who wiped out Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.
Yuan Yan suddenly realized that the two of them had limited knowledge of history, and they would not understand the Far East. So she changed the subject and said, "Sometimes, our SCP Foundation even cooperates with Christians..."
John Edgar Hoover was also a smart man. When he heard this, a light bulb went off in his head and he thought of that thing.
"Mr. Yuan, you mean Innocent III established it..."
Our Master Yuan nodded and said seriously: " That's right , Mr. Hoover, you are right."
"Gentlemen, you should also understand that the SCP Foundation is just a name. In order to adapt to the times, we now call ourselves the SCP Foundation. In history, we have had other names..."
"For example, in the 13th century, our ancestors founded the Inquisition!"
Yuan Yanshu sighed sadly and said, "Of course, I must admit that the Inquisition made a lot of false cases, especially the witch trials, which caused many innocent people to die, even in North America. But..."
He raised his voice and said firmly: "This is the price that mankind must pay!"
"I remember Harvard University President Inch Mather once said , 'It is better to let ten witches go by mistake than to kill one innocent person by mistake.' Haha..." Master Yuan laughed contemptuously, "How can he know what kind of harm a real witch will cause?"
He looked at Hoover with sharp eyes and said, "Mr. Hoover, I think you can understand that it is better to kill ten... no, a hundred... no, a thousand innocent people by mistake than to let a witch go by mistake!"
John "Wang Jingwei" Hoover actually nodded subconsciously. It seems that the two of them do have something in common.
The "SCP Foundation" was originally just a game that our Master Yuan came up with on a whim. The weird and cobbled-together stuff in it could barely fool Mr. Ai Craftsmanship, who has a little brain problem.
Of course, it's not a big problem to use this stuff to fool ordinary people. At least it's much more sophisticated than the White Lotus Sect or Scientology.
But who is Yuan Yanshu? He is not a human being... Well, he is a master valued by the Prince of Lies.
Who is this master trying to fool? The Hoover in front of us is just an appetizer, and there are real main dishes to come, such as the great scientist who came to Washington to give a lecture in April.
"I'll tell you another secret. The Age of Exploration was initiated by our SCP Foundation. Prince Henry the Navigator is one of us."
An "honorary member" of the SCP Foundation, Prince Henry's full name is Don Afonso Henry, Prince of Portugal. Born in 1394, he was called "the Navigator" for establishing a navigation school and rewarding navigation careers.
Yuan Yanshu, a conscientious young party member and historian, said mysteriously and nervously: "Gentlemen, our SCP Foundation has made great achievements in the Old World and successfully resisted the invasion of aliens. But the humans in the New World have no guidance from us and have become slaves of aliens."
"For this reason, we had to launch the Great Exploration Movement in the name of opening up shipping routes. Bartholomew Dias, who discovered the Cape of Good Hope, Columbus, who discovered the New World, Vasco da Gama, who arrived in India, Amerigo Vespucci, who gave rise to the name of America, Magellan, who sailed around the world, Li Huamei, the female captain of the Hangzhou... these people, like Prince Enrique, are members of our SCP Foundation."
Our Master Yuan didn’t play the “Uncharted Waters” series of games in vain, so some strange things sneaked in.
"But the greatest one is Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Inca Empire single-handedly. With the help of the Inquisition that followed, he completely eradicated the cult of the aliens who worshipped the Old Ones. What a great achievement, what a great !"
Yuan Yan suddenly looked at Hoover and Aiden, and saw little stars of "unclear but powerful" appearing in their eyes, and decided to make the final effort.
He sighed and said, "But those aliens are not stupid. In the tens of thousands of years of fighting with our SCP Foundation, they have also learned the human way of fighting. They have become more cunning and more adept at taking advantage of human weaknesses."
"At the same time, due to long-term contact with alien objects, especially the Old Ones behind them, some members of our SCP Foundation who are not so determined sometimes have their SAN values reduced to zero... Well, this is one of our terms, that is, betrayal. They will become very difficult alien objects to deal with."
"In 1914, an important member of the American branch of the SCP Foundation suddenly defected, causing us great losses. The entire American branch was almost wiped out."
