They gathered together, looking at the file:
[SCP-966, Sleep Killer]
[Object Class: Euclid]
[Description: SCP-966 is a predatory creature that resembles a hairless, digitigrade human and possesses an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth. On each hand, it has five claws that can be up to 20 cm long. Although sharp, these claws are easily broken, making them unfit for combat. SCP-966's height ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 meters, and it can weigh up to 30 kg. Physically, SCP-966 is weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density. It does not seem to rest through sleep; instead, it will suddenly cease all movement at seemingly random intervals, resuming normal activity three to five minutes later.
SCP-966 is visible only at wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to about 900 nm. This applies to all its tissues. If its skin, muscles, or organs have suffered from second to third-degree burns, the affected areas will be visible at wavelengths ranging from 360 to 900 nm.
SCP-966 feeds on medium-to-large-sized animals, including humans. It hunts either alone or in pairs. Its hunting methods consist of emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed ██████ waves, in honor of the late Doctor ██████), which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. The ability to micro-sleep is also lost. The effective range of the ██████ waves is up to 20 meters; however, tests show that they can be blocked by post-transition metals, particularly lead.
All attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. It is still possible to induce other forms of unconsciousness, although these will usually prove detrimental to the affected subject as they do not provide true rest.
After depriving its victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk its prey until a lack of rest incapacitates it. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. SCP-966 has proven to be very agile and silent while stalking its victims. Occasionally, it will deliberately make threatening noises around its prey to further stress it and may even physically assault it if the victim proves to be particularly durable.
Other than the common symptoms caused by sleep deprivation, some victims of SCP-966 have shown signs of suffering from extremely vivid hallucinations, as well as sudden bouts of rage with no apparent external stimuli. It is currently thought that these are the effects of prolonged exposure to ██████ waves. Why SCP-966 continually exposes these waves to only some of its victims is unknown. One hypothesis is that SCP-966 will only do this when starving since it further degenerates the physical and mental state of its prey, incapacitating it at a faster rate.
Wild instances of SCP-966 are found all over the world. Since their discovery in 19██, the Foundation has succeeded in drastically thinning their numbers, though they are still found in large quantities in many countries, particularly █████ and █████ ███████.]
SCP-966's file is relatively long. After a few minutes, the group had finished reading it thoroughly. After studying it, they had surprised looks on their faces.
"Wow! I didn't expect this thing to have this kind of ability!" Kiwo shook her head and sighed.
Plumbella nodded beside her and said thoughtfully, "No wonder it is called Sleep Killer; it deprives victims of the right to dream..."
[ ===== ]
The viewers in the stream also saw the file, and they were discussing it at the moment:
"I don't think this Sleep Killer is particularly dangerous, but it's so tormenting. It just won't let you sleep, depriving you of the right to rest..."
"Why do I feel that the Sleep Killer is more terrifying than other SCPs? Just imagine being unable to sleep all day long; my God, people will go crazy!"
"It drives people mad and makes them paralyzed. When it's almost done, they can finish them off and then enjoy a big meal!"
"Sure enough, the SCPs in the Foundation are very wicked, but I'm curious; are there any SCPs that are harmless to humans, or even friendly to humans?"
"There should be...but no one can guess until one appears..."
[ ===== ]
In the game.
Except for the two girls, the three men were also full of emotion. Among them, RT looked at the two entities outside the containment room and said with a smile, "No wonder they don't attack us; it turns out they are weaklings themselves!"
Brit nodded slightly in agreement. Vale's face was pale, and he also looked outside but saw not only two Sleep Killers but also a thin and weird figure standing between them.
"Do you want to kill them?" Vale suddenly spoke, anger bubbling beneath his voice.
Brit frowned, sensing Vale's abnormality. He immediately reached out and patted Vale's shoulder. "Do you see that thing again?"
Vale froze for a moment, then realized he couldn't control his emotions. He nodded, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath to calm down.
"Let's go quickly! I..." Just as he was speaking, Vale spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Hiss... it hurts like hell!" Vale felt the pain of being pierced in his internal organs, and his forehead was sweating profusely.
"Damn it! Is Vale unable to hold on?"
"Vale, it's okay; don't push yourself!"
"Ah, Vale, get out quickly..."
The others looked at Vale with concern. The viewers in the stream also noticed Vale's worsening condition, and many expressed concern.
But Vale shook his head, his stubborn temperament flaring up. "No way in hell, I refuse to have a nervous breakdown now!"
The group showed helplessness on their faces, and the viewers were also feeling helpless.
Brit sighed and said, "Okay then, let's leave quickly. Don't worry about these Sleep Killers; their abilities are at least temporarily harmless..."
After Brit finished speaking, they were about to leave. However, just as they exited, the two Sleep Killers at the door suddenly moved, blocking the entrance to the containment chamber. The Sleep Killer in the upper room of the containment room moved and came to the outer room.
"Damn! What is this?" RT exclaimed, his eyes widening.
Kiwo and Plumbella subconsciously grabbed each other's hands.
"They seem to be about to attack..." Brit's face became tense. "It is said in the file that these Sleep Killers will also use physical attacks under some special circumstances..."
After Brit finished speaking, their expressions shifted.
[ ===== ]
Even the chat in the stream was progressing faster:
"They may have sensed something was wrong, so they used physical attacks!"
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Brit, run away! Although the files say these Sleep Killers are weak, their claws still look dangerous!"
"Yeah, yeah! It feels like at least two Band-Aids are needed to treat a scratch from them... No, three Band-Aids!"
"Bro, you're trying to make me laugh!"
[ ===== ]
The group didn't pay attention to the chat; they were now engrossed in watching the Sleep Killers, on guard against their attacks. Just in this tense situation, the group was shocked to find that another Sleep Killer appeared in the vision of the night vision goggles. It stood at the door of the containment room together with the two Sleep Killers.
Vale's eyes were red as he shouted, "How many of these things are there?"
The veins on his remaining arm were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly. The others looked similarly terrified and confused.
Brit shook his head slightly, guessing, "I don't know, but this one is probably the one we encountered at the beginning..."
After speaking, Brit frowned tightly. The current situation: three in front and one in back, a total of four Sleep Killers blocking them in the containment room. They had nowhere to go...
