"Keter is higher than Euclid, right?" Brit held his chin and thought about it, "Well, from my perspective, this is the ranking, but I don't know the more specific and detailed rules of classification."

Not only Brit but Kiwo and Vale also noticed the chat. The two thought about it carefully and immediately felt that the chat's guess was very reasonable. But while it makes sense, that's ultimately just speculation, no one knows the regulations. Perhaps in future game explorations, they will be able to know more secrets about the Foundation.

"Okay, let's take a look at the things in this room first." Brit waved his hand and came to the metal door of the containment room on the other side with a very curious look on his face.

Kiwo and Vale also came to the side, and the three of them looked at the metal door in front of them, there were two nameplates with the storage number on the wall next to it.

"SCP-427, SCP-714... It is said in the post that SCP-427 seems to be gone." Brit whispered and then opened the metal door with a Level 3 Keycard.

The three of them stepped into the containment room cautiously. Just like before, what you see is a small hall, with a metal door on the left and right sides. After a slight pause, Brit opened the metal door of SCP-427 first and found that there was nothing inside, but there was blood on the ground. It seems that something happened here before.

Without hesitation, Brit then opened the metal door of the room of "SCP-714" and the three stepped into the containment room carefully. This time Vale became more cautious, not sure about his safety, even if he was killed, he stopped messing with things.

Brit, Kiwo, and even many viewers in the stream couldn't help laughing when they saw Vale's cautious and timid appearance. But everyone also understands Vale, after all, he has 2 time bombs on his body now, and he doesn't know when they will explode. If he messed with things again and caused weird abnormal effects, then he would be depressed to death.

The containment room was not very big. The three of them looked around for a while and only saw the cabinet by the door and the innermost table with a height of more than one meter. There was also a small open box on the table, but Brit didn't rush to look at the contents but got a file from the cabinet next to him. It's the file for SCP-714.

[ SCP-714, The Jaded Ring ]

[ Object Class: Safe ]

[ Description: Seemingly nothing more than a green jade ring, SCP-714 has been shown to be able to expand and contract to perfectly fit the finger of anyone who touches it, though this is the least important of its properties. SCP-714 only changes size when touched by a 'new' subject.

SCP-714 has several major effects, detailed as follows;

1) Exhaustion, Compulsion to Rest/Sleep

Within minutes of putting on SCP-714, wearers report feeling worn out - physically and mentally exhausted. Due to this, they will feel driven to "sit down and rest for a bit" on the nearest available furniture, and will likely fall asleep within the space of a few hours. If someone falls asleep wearing SCP-714, the only known means of waking them is to remove SCP-714, at which point they may be roused by anything that would normally wake them up. Exhaustion effects pass within two or three hours of removing SCP-714 if removed from a conscious subject; those that fall asleep wearing SCP-714 report feeling well-rested if SCP-714 is removed, even if they slept for only a few minutes.

SCP-714 extends no 'considerations' towards the needs of its wearer during their forced sleep, though most bodily functions such as breathing continue. If SCP-714 is not removed and the wearer woken up, most will die of dehydration or starvation within a matter of days. SCP-714's impact (if any) on aging remains untested.

Wearers that are tired prior to putting SCP-714 are at serious risk of falling asleep on their feet, possibly falling over in the process. If no furniture or furniture-like object is available nearby, wearers either stand on the spot they donned SCP-714 or attempt to fashion a resting place out of any suitable materials (cushions, blankets, etc.) available.

The drive to sleep can be resisted, but requires formidable willpower and self-control on the part of the wearer. Even so, the following effect makes it impractical for field use.

2) Slowed Reactions, Sluggish Movement

Subjects suffer from severely impaired reaction times; a normally sharp, alert and physically fit subject can have a hard time catching a slow-moving object thrown to them, even if warned and given ample time to prepare. Anyone wearing SCP-714 should not be allowed to operate any heavy machinery or other vehicles under any circumstances.

Wearers of SCP-714 move much slower than normal, managing an average walking pace at best. Their movements are not physically slower, but they are incapable of exerting themselves.

3) Reduced Mental Capacity

Seemingly as part of the mental fatigue, anyone wearing SCP-714 claims that they 'think slowly', or may even have trouble finding the words to adequately communicate that they cannot think as clearly as normal. The wearer may take a long time to think of an answer to a trivial question (eg; "What colour is this red ball?"), never mind one that is vague or requires a more complicated response.

With removal of SCP-714, mental capacity is restored to normal within a few minutes.

4) Mental 'Shield'

As a dubious "benefit" of seemingly reduced mental capacity, wearers of SCP-714 show abnormally high resilience to memetic and mental influences, particularly commands or immediate effects. Weaker memetic influences may be totally nullified by this. In both cases, the wearer feels a strong and instinctive fear of the source of the influence; this fear drives them to immediately seek 'shelter' by any means available, potentially by attempting to destroy the source. This 'shielding' lasts only for as long as SCP-714 is worn.

They are still at significant risk if exposed to any memetic influences that do not take immediate effect. Exposure to such influences should be handled as normal for the source in question, as the degree of 'protection' afforded by SCP-714 has yet to be fully documented.

In addition, 'normal' images and sounds that would cause revulsion, nausea, etc. simply due to shocking or disturbing content have next to no effect on the wearer of SCP-714. The wearer will not even recall seeing them once SCP-714 is removed. Mundane persuasion (such as motivational speeches) has no effect, regardless of the speaker's skill and charisma.

5) Chemical Tolerance

Just as their minds block memetic influences, the bodies of SCP-714 wearers slows and nullifies the effects of various chemicals on the body. Fully poisonous or toxic substances are generally not hindered, but those that specifically impede or enhance neural and/or nervous functions in some way (such as stimulants or sedatives) have very diminished effects. With the removal of SCP-714, this nullification effect expires instantly. Wearers may still suffer from standard overdose effects whilst wearing SCP-714. ]

Brit carefully read the specific file of SCP-714, these contents are also explained in the Strategy Post on the Forum, but they are relatively brief, it is far less detailed than reading the file in person.

After reading the file, Brit came to the innermost table of the containment room. In the small box on the table was indeed a green ring. It looks ordinary as if there is nothing special about it.

Kiwo and Vale also gathered around, and they also watched the file just now, so they all probably knew the nature of the ring.

The itchy Vale rubbed his hands, and wanted to touch the ring but stopped in time, with a tangled face: "This... the file doesn't seem to say that this thing can't be touched, right? As long as you don't wear it, it's fine, right?"

Even though he had read the file just now, Vale was still a little uncertain at the moment.

Brit nodded and confirmed: "It's true that there's nothing in the file that says you can't touch it..."

Hearing this, Vale was completely relieved, and then gently picked up the ring and looked it over carefully. It's light, smooth, and jewel-like, if it is placed in the real world, it should be worth a lot of money.

"The special properties of this thing don't seem too scary, why don't I try it on?"
