The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 281: The Jews (End)
This chapter's subtitle: Alternative History: "Thousand Years of Hidden"
Our Master Yuan's set of strange history is becoming more and more perfect.
"Mr. Hitler, have you ever thought about this question: what were we doing before the birth of civilization?"
"We ask for forgiveness and pray for salvation from 'God' and 'Devil'..."
"Why should we do this? Because there really were 'gods' and 'demons' back then..."
"Then, among us humans, some 'freaks' emerged who wanted to defeat 'Gods' and 'Devils'... and these people were the founders of our SCP Foundation. And we call them - Aliens."
"Thanks to the efforts of the SCP Foundation, the number of alien objects is decreasing, and our number is increasing. However, the unexplained things have not disappeared, as if the universe deliberately wants to show absurdity and incomprehensibility..."
"Predecessors discovered that behind these alien objects there are even more evil, greater, and indescribable existences. We at the SCP Foundation call these existences The Old Ones.!”
"He" first briefly introduced this period of prehistory, and then entered the official history.
"Mr. Hitler, now we come to the Jews."
"I suppose you've also read the Book of Exodus in the Bible. In fact, Moses was originally a senior member of our SCP Foundation!"
"Of course, there was no SCP Foundation at that time. He, like our ancestors, was a member of the ancient Egyptian priest group."
"But his ideas didn't align with those of his colleagues, so he left with those who shared his ideas, along with his own tribe... oh, the ancestors of the Hebrews."
"Moses, along with his supporters and his tribe, returned to his homeland of Canaan. Ramses II, on the other hand, sent his army to pursue them. Of course, these armies were ultimately defeated."
"Well, all these events are recorded in the Book of Exodus, but someone simply confused or tampered with the causes and processes."
"This was the first major schism in the history of our SCP Foundation, known as 'The First Impact'."
"So, theoretically speaking, Judaism is actually a branch of our SCP Foundation..."
Seeing a strange expression on Hitler's face, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Please be patient and listen to me continue."
"Just as our ancestors at the SCP Foundation had feared, the Judaism founded by Moses was gradually corrupted by the 'alien'. Thus, the most famous alien in history was born..."
“Yes, the carpenter’s son from Nazareth!”
"That's why the Sadducees and Pharisees wanted to kill him, and of course we in the SCP Foundation helped them."
"Judas, who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, and the nameless Roman soldier holding the Spear of Longinus are members of our organization...."
"However, this is just the beginning!"
"Mr. Hitler, you should now understand three things: First, our SCP Foundation has always been protecting humanity."
"Secondly, the appearance of alien objects is like the tide, rising and falling. Just like over 1,920 years ago, they are currently at a high tide."
"Third, the Jews are not actually that evil. In a sense, they are our allies."
The following is the latest version of this alternate history.
Our Master Yuan frowned slightly, sighed sadly, and said, "The appearance of the carpenter's son from Nazareth not only contributed to the birth of Christianity, but also caused the division of Judaism."
"Those within Judaism who knew the true secrets of their inheritance all realized that their founder, Moses, was truly wrong. Establishing a monotheistic sect would only give aliens an opportunity to exploit them. While they might have been able to kill the alien this time, they might not be so lucky next time. So, they decided to leave Judaism."
"So now Judaism is nothing more than an empty shell... Of course, if Mr. Hitler knows the truth and insists on pointing the finger at them, we at the SCP Foundation don't mind. After all, protecting our humanity always requires sacrifice."
"A small number of those who defected joined us, the SCP Foundation. So we have Jewish members, for example... you probably know them anyway."
"The largest group formed their own organization, the Camarilla, also known as the Secret Party. They have thirteen clans and six commandments. The first commandment, The Masquerade, states: 'You shall not reveal your abilities to those outside of your race. Anyone who violates this commandment will be expelled from the society and have their abilities severed!' They do this to prevent alien beings from misleading humanity and the emergence of another carpenter's son from Nazareth."
"The Secret Party is the largest in number, and now it's spread all over the world. Of course, ordinary people will never know their true identities."
"Then there's the Inconnu, who are even more mysterious than the Camarilla. We're not even sure if they still exist. There are only a few clues in black Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America that suggest they're still operating in secret."
"The black magic in those areas, including voodoo and black magic, is likely a means of covering up their crimes."
"The Black Hand is a radical group that will exterminate any human with alien traits. They're so radical they're even willing to kill us, their human allies who harness the power of the Old Ones. It's precisely because they refuse to use this power that they're not to be feared."
"Well, now it's great. Human technology is becoming more and more powerful . They can easily kill us with guns. This makes us have to be very careful."
"There are also a bunch of fools with unclear minds. They became the Anarchs. Because they claimed that humans and aliens are both intelligent creatures and equal in status. We should all live in peace."
"These people are the most likely to have foreign objects. Fortunately, the Black Hand is very wary of them and is also their biggest enemy. If it weren't for these two groups of brainwashed guys killing each other, our SCP Foundation really wouldn't be able to accommodate them."
"Finally, there's..." He gritted his teeth and said, "The most insane Demon Feast, also known as Sabbt."
"These guys were actually inspired by the carpenter's son from Nazareth to create their own 'God'!"
That's right, Camarilla, The Hermitage, Black Hand, The Betrayer and Sabbat, as well as The Thirteen Clans and The Six Commandments all come from a famous TRPG:
A dead body that returns from a gloomy tomb to the world of the living to suck the blood of the living.
A possessed monster that has descended into Hell but escaped the Last Judgment.
A ruthless hunter who steals the lifeblood of innocent men and women.
A poet humming a beautiful, pale and lonely song in the dark night.
A vengeful spirit filled with resentment and unwilling to rest.
Vampire: The Masquerade.
Since the 1980s, a wave of non-mainstream punk has emerged in science fiction and fantasy culture.
Among them, steampunk, which represents the first industrial revolution, vacuum tube punk, which represents the second industrial revolution, cyberpunk, which represents the third industrial revolution, and gothic punk, which goes back to the pre-industrial revolution, were born.
"Vampire: The Last Thousand Years" is a typical Gothic punk, which was produced by White Wolf Publishing Company in the United States in 1991.
As the name suggests, players assume the role of vampires in the "World of Darkness." Not only must they battle rival organizations, but they must also navigate the political struggles of their own society. This is the game's greatest appeal.
I heard that, due to language barriers, the Chinese online world took the setting of this tabletop role-playing game as the true history of vampires. This led to some "Western fantasy" online novels using similar settings whenever they wrote about vampires.
But this just goes to show that this setting is quite good, it sounds very high-end and serious.
So let alone "His Highness Temperance", even "His Excellency Justice" was held.
He couldn't help but ask in his heart, "Master Fool, is this true?"
"Hmm... more or less." Our Master Yuan glanced at him and replied darkly, "You can understand it as the existence of these organizations in a dark world that you are unaware of."
At this time, Hitler shook his head, swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously: "Why have I never heard of that fool lady?"
He glanced at the other person with disdain and chuckled, "Mr. Hitler, if you've heard everything, can it still be considered a secret?"
The next question naturally followed: "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because..." Master Yuan raised a hand, pointed at his nose and said, "Even if we don't come looking for you, the Demon Banquet will always be your biggest enemy!"
Hitler continued, "What do you mean?"
"The members of the Sabbat are best at dressing themselves up as revolutionaries and radicals. To them, the Great Revolution is a feast for ambitious people, hence the name."
"Their influence can be seen behind all the unrest around the world. The November Revolution in Germany was no exception, and the October Revolution in Russia was certainly no exception."
"I think you can probably guess the reason. Only after a turmoil can someone become... a 'god'!"
"You mean..." Hitler was startled and exclaimed: "Le..."
"Please don't tell me their names," he interrupted seriously. "They have a secret skill that makes them feel something when someone mentions their name."
Hitler took a few deep breaths and asked again, "Oh, oh, so he is a member of the Sabbat?"
"Exactly!"
"This, this, this..." Hitler took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. After calming himself down, he said, "Even if I believe what you say, how can a mere mortal like me help you?"
"Mr. Hitler, you are not an ordinary person!"
Our Master Yuan shook his head and said, "Didn't someone predict you long ago that you would be the hero who would save Germany and even the whole world?"
It is said that when Hitler was in Vienna, an anti-Semitic astrologer Adolf Lahnz once predicted for Hitler that he would become a hero who would shock the world in the future.
Actually, Yuan Yan suddenly felt that Comrade Hitler had really screwed Germany over and had given America a huge thumbs-up, which was so despicable that she didn't know how to describe it.
Seriously, if he hadn't suddenly appeared, the Third Dezi might have fought a disastrous battle with the British and French forces, just like the Second Dezi did the previous time. Even if they lost, at most they would have ceded territory and paid compensation, but they wouldn't be split into two by the two major camps, and they wouldn't have lost the dominant position of the European father almost permanently.
If the Weimar Republic had been luckier, and had not needed the "Iron Chancellor" Bismarck, but only needed a "paperhanger" like Li Hongzhang who could maintain the situation, perhaps World War II would have been led by Britain, France and Germany, and half of Europe would have united to move eastward in a red and white war.
Although the history of "His Highness the Moderate" is certainly more impressive, it is really not a good thing for the German people.
But what does this have to do with "him," a Seres citizen?
"Prophecy..." Hitler's expression changed.
"Yes, a prophecy." "He" pointed at himself and said, "Just like what Lady Fate said, she married fate, and so became a master of divination. She saw you when she was peering into the long river of time, so we met tonight..."
"So why did you come to see me..." Hitler finally asked this question.
"Is it because you're destined to be a big shot? Hahaha..." Our Master Yuan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Mr. Hitler, if I had let His Excellency Justice shoot you in the heart just now, how could you have become a big shot?"
"He" explained: "This only means that there is such a possibility, but it does not mean that you can really become a big shot. So you need the help of our SCP Foundation!"
"Mr. Adolf Hitler..." Our Master Yuan stared into the eyes of the man with a small mustache and said word by word, "Now you only need to ask yourself one question: Do you and your NASDP need help?"
“…”
Hitler was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I think I need it!"
Yes, why wouldn't he agree?
These two... no, three people in front of me look weird, but they are really rich.
And if there really were to be a falling out, Justice might even have a gun in his arms.
As for the history they told... just take it as a guess and keep your doubts for now.
"Welcome to you, Your Highness Temperance."
Our Master Yuan understood a little bit of Hitler's ideas, but he didn't mind because he still had plenty of opportunities and time.
After all, it’s only… 1921!
"clatter!"
"He" snapped his fingers, and a tarot card appeared in his hand...
Thirty years later, on June 5, 1951, at 404 Fifth Avenue in New York.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
Yuan Yan, who was standing at the window watching the victory parade, suddenly shouted without turning around, "Come in."
Mr. Chandler, with a little white hair on his temples and a somewhat old look, opened the door and walked in. He was carrying a small suitcase and had handcuffs on his wrists.
Master Yuan, who had deliberately grown a goatee, styled his hair in a bun, and dressed himself to appear mature, but whose appearance hadn't changed much, turned around and said with a smile, "Yuri, you're back from Europe?"
"Yes, Neo." Lord Justice nodded, took out the key from his trouser pocket, unlocked the handcuffs, and handed the suitcase to Lord Fool.
“Click!”
Yuan Yan suddenly opened the suitcase, took out two tarot cards, and played with them, saying softly, "After thirty years, I finally see you again..."
He showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and with a flick of his hand, the two cards changed their appearance.
“Snap!”
Our Master Yuan replaced the new "Hanged Man" and "Temperance" and closed the suitcase. He looked up and said, "Sir Justice, you may now set out to find their new owner!"
