Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: We Control, We Contain, We Protect

[This issue's protagonist: Leon Lake]

[Major organizations in this world: SCP Foundation, GOC (Global Occult Coalition), Mechanicus, Sarkicism, Chaos Insurgency]

[Keywords of this issue: D-class personnel, containment breach, decedent]

As several lines of subtitles disappeared, people who were already extremely curious about Leon Lake's past life instantly became excited.

In the system's live broadcast room, countless comments almost covered the entire screen.

"What the hell? I thought I was so awesome, but this is all I get?"

"Yeah, the system is still warning seriously, can't we at least use some well-known ones? Let's not talk about organizations like HYDRA, can we at least use a Mutant organization?"

"What the hell is this SCP Foundation? What the hell is this Sarkic Cult? I've never heard of them!"

"I suddenly lost my expectations for this exposure. I might as well watch Iron Man begging for food!"

"Hahaha..."

As the barrage of comments continued to refresh the screen, the voices in the extraordinary chat group gradually calmed down.

Especially SHIELD Director Nick Fury, who thought that the Leon Lake warned by the system would be of great importance, but it turned out to be some small sect he had never heard of.

The opponents that my SHIELD pays attention to are either Red Skull or Professor X. What could a guy like you have in your previous life?

Thinking of this, he stopped his busy assistant and said, "Wait, Maria, take back the previous order and lower Leon Lake's threat level to the lowest."

······

Meanwhile, in the Stark Industries building.

"JARVIS, I don't think it's necessary to work with this guy. I only deal with top talents like myself."

J.A.R.V.I.S: "······"

······

Kamar-Taj.

"What? I thought he was so amazing!"

"That's right, there are no mutants, no superheroes, and not even magic..."

"It's a waste of time. There's really no need for Sorcerer Supreme to know about this guy."

Hearing the discussions of the apprentices in the courtyard, a hint of worry flashed across the usually calm face of the Ancient One.

Really, is it that simple?

Finally, with a flash of light, Leon Lake's previous life began!

·········

Throughout the Marvel world, countless humans looked up at the light curtain in the sky.

And suddenly a low voice was heard on the originally dark screen.

[This is a world with anomalies.]

[Humans have been around for 250,000 years, but only the last 4,000 years are meaningful. So, what have we been doing for nearly 250,000 years?]

We hid in caves, sat around small campfires, and feared things we did not understand—the explanations of how the sun rose, the monsters with human heads and bird bodies, the living stones.

As the voice sounded, an image appeared on the screen.

On a planet that looks like Earth, no traces of civilization have yet appeared.

It was vaguely visible that there were creatures that looked like humans hiding in the cave, staring with horror at the eternal darkness outside the cave.

Those fleeting terrifying figures, like darkness, constantly erode and devour the world!

Some people walked out of the cave, but more of them turned back and hid in the haze of fear. They carved those strange scenes that were difficult to describe in words on the cave, and knelt down and prayed to them!

So we call them "gods" and "demons" and ask for their forgiveness and pray for salvation.

[After that, their number decreased, and our number increased. As we feared fewer and fewer things, we began to see the world more rationally. However, the inexplicable things did not disappear, as if the universe deliberately wanted to show absurdity and incredibleness.]

[Humanity cannot survive in fear.]

[Nothing can protect us, we must protect ourselves!]

While others live in the light of day, we must fight them in the shadows and keep them out of the public eye so that others can live in a sane, normal world.

The sun and the moon change, and the stars flow.

Humans walked out of caves and civilization developed at an unimaginable speed.

However, throughout this long history, there has always been a group of mysterious people.

They fight the anomalies in the dark and keep them out of human sight!

At this moment, the ethereal voice suddenly became high-pitched and firm!

[We are in control!]

[We contain it!!]

[We protect!!!]

The opening content ends here.

The entire Marvel world seemed to have been paused and fell into an eerie silence.

Inside SHIELD.

Nick Fury's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious again.

"Abnormal?"

As the director of SHIELD, he is well aware that there are many threats in the universe that humans are unknown to.

On Earth alone, there are many extraordinary beings such as Extraordinary Beings, Mutants, Magic, etc.

SHIELD is a special force of the International Security Council that is used to deal with various bizarre events.

But even with SHIELD, which has a large number of top scientists, top agents, and even superheroes, there is no way to hide these extraordinary beings in the dark. This SCP Foundation...

How can this be done?

On the other side, there was also a quarrel in the extraordinary chat group.

[Deadpool]: Damn, what is anomaly? Extraordinary elements?

[Steve]: According to this statement, we superheroes should also fall into the category of abnormalities.

[Tony]: Damn it, I don't want to be controlled, contained, and protected by these lunatics. I'm a superhero, not some damn anomaly.

[Thor]: In other words, this SCP Foundation is able to control all anomalies and conceal them? To be honest, I think it is unlikely.

[Nick Fury]: No organization can do this!

In the live broadcast room, some people sneered at and some showed disdain for the appalling remarks and images that appeared in the opening, but there were also many people who found it unbelievable.

But there is no doubt that as this footage was broadcast, an inexplicable curiosity gradually emerged in the entire Marvel world.

Without giving everyone much time to react, the scene appeared again.

In the picture, in a completely enclosed room filled with pale incandescent lights, everyone finally saw the person who was exposed this time - Leon Lake!
