NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 19: Chapter 19: The Containment Site is Built and the Four Big Conglomerates
"Delete it!"
"Impossible, such a treasure, I will cherish it with gratitude for the rest of my life."
"!"
Annie glared at Haruto, using joint techniques to try to grab the phone and delete the photo but unfortunately, the difference in their physical strength was not something Annie could make up for with skill.
Haruto even managed to deal with her while checking the photo he had taken.
The photo showed Annie holding the phone, her eyes filled with curiosity, and a cute smile on her face.
It was a beautiful photo that could be used as wallpaper.
It was a masterpiece of a girl's unintentional moment, the most natural and the most touching. It was clearly a masterpiece.
But she wanted to destroy it.
In the end, Annie didn't succeed, she bit her lip and glared at Haruto angrily. However, because of Annie's beauty, this scene didn't feel oppressive, but rather cute.
So, Haruto took another picture.
Annie: !!!
The night passed without incident.
-----------------
Time passed quickly after that.
Haruto continued to contain more anomalies, filling the newly built containment site.
Like a toaster that couldn't be described by a third person.
A fortune cookie that could predict fate.
A fizzy drink that could significantly increase physical strength after drinking five milliliters.
And a super cute mascot.
A giant "peanut butter"!
It was eventually named The Tickle Monster.
Peanut butter isn't very accurate, it's a giant, irregular, sticky, orange-yellow translucent viscous object.
Its density is roughly equivalent to peanut butter, it's two meters wide, one meter high, and weighs 120 pounds!
Have you seen those giant beanbag chairs?
The Tickle Monster is roughly like that, it gets very excited when it gets close to living things (like a dog). It will wriggle to the person's side and then jump on them. It will hug its subject with both hands and also rub its face with its third hand!
Contact with the Tickle Monster will make people feel happy.
This was the first time Haruto had encountered a Level 0 anomaly.
(Level 0 anomaly - Safe.)
This mascot wasn't locked up, but was running around the newly built SCP containment site. At first, the staff at the containment site were a bit worried and afraid. But after a few days of getting along, they were completely conquered by this mascot.
Speaking of the SCP containment site.
At Haruto's kind request, the original upper management of the Youth Syndrome Laboratory heavily invested in the containment site. They also recruited a number of talented scientists.
The containment site had now taken shape. The current Foundation containment site is structured as follows: Surface, Living, Research, Light Containment, Heavy Containment. In that order, from top to bottom.
The surface is the normal building built on the surface to deceive people. At Haruto's instruction, a super-large dessert shop was opened here.
The real Foundation building is all underground.
The living layer is the living quarters for the Foundation containment site staff. The research layer is a large number of laboratories built by the Foundation to study anomalies.
And here, some anomalies that are not too dangerous and have research value begin to appear.
The light containment layer is where anomalies that are dangerous but relatively easy to contain are contained.
The heavy containment layer, on the other hand, is specifically for containing anomalies that are easy to break containment, highly threatening, and may even trigger a black death apocalypse.
Unfortunately, the Foundation is not yet capable of building a heavy containment layer.
As for the Foundation staff.
For now, it's made up of the original research and armed teams from the laboratory.
These people were temporarily classified as C-class personnel. At the same time, with the power of money, a group of death row inmates were brought in from Japan prisons.
These death row inmates would be used as D-class personnel for the Foundation. They were expendable consumables, readily available for containment, testing, and other processes.
In short, it was about making these people's deaths slightly meaningful.
It sounded inhumane, but that was the Foundation's way of doing things. The current Foundation containment site here was almost completely formed, except for the lack of researchers, the lack of top talent, and the shortage of expensive materials.
As for the above shortcomings...
They were no longer something the upper management of the laboratory could touch.
They needed a stronger background.
For example... the Four Great Conglomerates.
The Four Great Conglomerates of Japan were practically omnipotent.
The wealth and power they controlled were simply beyond the reach of ordinary tycoons. Clearly, if the Foundation was to continue developing, it needed the support of at least one of the Four Great Conglomerates.
And Haruto had some ideas about the Four Great Conglomerates.
Currently, there were two of the Four Great Conglomerates that could be easily contacted. The Shinomiya Family and the Momobami Clan.
However, Haruto was more inclined to contact the Momobami Clan.
Because it was very simple to get in touch with them.
The current head of the Momobami Clan, the head of one of the Four Great Conglomerates, was Kirari Momobami.
Kirari Momobami was the student council president of the Hyakkaou Private Academy. This one of the Three Great Academies had once extended an olive branch to Haruto.
Although Haruto chose Totsuka High.
But, he could still go to Hyakkaou Private Academy through the unique exchange student system of the Three Great Academies.
More importantly, Hyakkaou Private Academy was known for gambling. Everything in the academy could be won through gambling.
Including Kirari Momobami, the student council president.
As long as he won Kirari Momobami, he could easily gain the support of the Momobami Clan. On the other hand, the Shinomiya Family while also approachable, was more difficult.
Hayasaka Ai was the close aide of Shinomiya Kaguya. Through Ai, he could contact Kaguya. But, let's not even talk about how to get Shinomiya Kaguya on his side.
Even if he did.
Kaguya's support wouldn't represent the support of the Shinomiya Family. The Shinomiya Family was currently headed by Kaguya's father. Kaguya also had two older brothers.
This young lady was actually as her name suggested.
She was the Kaguya of the Moon, who had descended to earth by chance, but would eventually return to the moon.
Kaguya's life was planned out, and she would probably be used as a bargaining chip for the family in the future.
Cough, of course, it was too early to say all this. The idea of the Four Great Conglomerates was just a plan for now.
And Haruto at the moment...
It had been a month since the joint entrance exams ended.
The summer vacation after the joint entrance exams for high school was very long, a full three months. With two months left, Haruto began to seriously consider the containment of the world of the Titans.
(T/N: Were in business ppl!!! Things finally moving!
Also, I'm begging here for stones, not cash. I'm tryin not to give aneurysm here.)
