After entering Site-CN-06's underground facility, Luoshu headed straight for the Euclid-class containment zone.
According to data from the supercomputer "White Blood Cell," Site-CN-06 oversaw 20 Euclid-class anomalies, but only 15 were physically contained there—the rest were research projects.
These "research projects" mostly fell into two categories:
Uncontainable phenomena (e.g., SCP-CN-827, SCP-CN-1825).
Large-scale anomalies (e.g., SCP-CN-1757, SCP-CN-1941), similar to SCP-100's junkyard.
One neutralized anomaly (SCP-CN-1962).
Excluding these, Luoshu's goal tonight was to log all 15 contained Euclid-class anomalies in one sweep.
Success would mean 100 pages in The SCP Field Guide—and the Containment Specialist Milestone reaching Level 2!
He wondered what the milestone's third effect would be. Hopefully something that could close the gap between him and powerhouses like Abel or "God."
While his abilities were diverse, he still lacked a decisive, lethal edge.
Among Site-CN-06's 15 Euclid entries, only three seemed truly useful:
SCP-CN-146 (Parallel Universe Storm) – An Edita Project anomaly.
SCP-CN-604 (The Frame-Dropped Man) – Another Edita Project anomaly.
SCP-CN-420 (The Regenerating Hand-Axe) – His primary target.
After his encounter with SCP-CN-351 (The Fortune-Granting Cat), Luoshu had grown particularly interested in Edita Projects. Even if their abilities weren't directly combat-applicable, they often held clues about the world's truth.
But the real prize was SCP-CN-420.
The Nine Lives Project
Officially documented as a limb-regeneration tool, the hand-axe was a lifesaving artifact for those with severe injuries.
Though Luoshu was currently unharmed, having regenerative capabilities would be invaluable against future Foundation assaults.
While it couldn't match the obscene healing of SCP-076 (Abel) or SCP-682 (The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile), it dramatically improved survivability.
In fact, SCP-CN-420 was a key reason Luoshu had prioritized Site-CN-06 over the New Continent.
Due to its high utilization in the "Nine Lives Project," it was stored near the Euclid zone's entrance—Luoshu's first stop.
The "Nine Lives Project" was Site-CN-06's experimental initiative to reduce personnel attrition.
Volunteers would:
Use SCP-CN-420 to amputate their pinky finger.
Have the finger cryogenically preserved.
Regrow the lost finger within minutes (thanks to the axe's regenerative properties).
If the volunteer died later, Site-CN-06 would:
Thaw the frozen pinky.
Use SCP-CN-420 to regrow the entire body from that finger.
Yes—a full human from one finger.
However, the regenerated individual would only retain memories up to the amputation.
Drawbacks:
7th use: 37% chance of physical deformity.
14th use: 77% chance of transforming into SCP-CN-420-1—a mindless flesh abomination that attacks all living things.
Beyond the 14th use, the mutation risk increases exponentially.
Still, six safe resurrections made SCP-CN-420 a must-have.
With this ability, Luoshu could:
Chop off a pinky.
Fight "God" or Abel recklessly.
If killed, resurrect from the finger.
Though classified as Euclid, the axe was harmless unless misused. In Luoshu's eyes, it should've been Safe or Thaumiel.
But classification didn't matter—The SCP Field Guide accepted all.
In minutes, Luoshu logged it.

[Item Number: SCP-CN-420]
[Item Name: The Regenerating Hand-Axe]
[Object Class: Euclid]
[Abilities: A Star-Forged Axe. Think its power is regeneration? Think again! What kind of doctor uses an axe as a surgical tool—a gangster? A serial killer? No. This is an eco-friendly lumber axe from ████, utilizing telomerase acceleration to regrow felled trees (maintaining ecological balance). The tech wasn't designed for mammals—hence the side effects.]

The moment Luoshu saw "telomerase acceleration," his blood ran cold.
