Item Number:SCP-CN-424

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: After questioning SCP-CN-424, it was confirmed that the "cabinet interior" was part of SCP-CN-424-1, so the furniture inside SCP-CN-424-1 was dismantled and sent to the site in batches -Reassembled in spare containment chamber of CN-34. Since SCP-CN-424-2 has almost no potential threats, it will still be placed in SCP-CN-424-1 and used by SCP-CN-424. One employee should monitor the production behavior of SCP-CN-424 at all times. When the production behavior is normal, all personnel need to consume a constant amount of SCP-CN-424-3 every day to ensure a stable number of SCP-CN-424 instances. When the production behavior is abnormal, it is necessary to negotiate with the individual immediately, and stop eating SCP-CN-424-3 to reduce the number of individuals. All human individuals who have been in contact with SCP-CN-424-1 and SCP-CN-424-3 will be amnesticized, and any information about the "God-level bakery without payment" on the Internet will be blocked.

Description:SCP-CN-424 is a general term for a kind of abnormal creature that calls itself "baking elf". The creature is about 15-20cm tall, spherical in shape as a whole, with no distinction between head and torso, and tiny limbs on both sides and bottom. All SCP-CN-424 wear a "hat" that resembles a combination of a chef's hat and a tuxedo, and a beard-shaped "accessory". It is detected as a part of the body and cannot be separated. SCP-CN-424 can only act in groups; if an individual leaves the group, it will self-destruct immediately, manifested as the entire sphere explodes, forming an unknown powdery substance. The substance does not match any substance found by humans so far, and will completely disappear within a period of time (approximately ██ minutes). SCP-CN-424 has a certain degree of intelligence, and can communicate in proficient modern Chinese, but cannot use other languages. In addition, SCP-CN-424 has a strong aversion to electronic products, so that camera or monitoring will cause multiple individuals to self-destruct; therefore, all recording and monitoring work must be done manually.

SCP-CN-424-1 is the kitchen where SCP-CN-424 is located; SCP-CN-424's individual activity range will not leave SCP-CN-424-1, and will immediately self-destruct if it leaves. Various amounts of SCP-CN-424 are produced in the area every day, and the method of production is direct appearance after investigation, and no reproductive behavior has been found. There is a certain randomness in the quantity, but it is positively related to the quantity of snacks consumed on the day and the degree of consumer satisfaction. At the same time, the individual life span is extremely short, ranging from about 18-24 hours. At that time, the individual will disappear directly.

SCP-CN-424-2 is the tool used for the production of SCP-CN-424, and will be named and sorted alphabetically afterwards. The basic usage of all SCP-CN-424-2 is no different from human baking utensils, but its shape is generally a combination of the baking utensils and a certain musical instrument, and the method of use is related to the musical instrument. Only when SCP-CN-424 is used will it produce abnormal changes. For its operating procedure, see experiment CN-424-alpha for details. The size of SCP-CN-424-2 is comparable to that of a human musical instrument, so multiple SCP-CN-424 are often required to operate simultaneously.

SCP-CN-424-2- The shape of D

SCP- The appearance of CN-424-2-E

The following are some commonly used SCP-CN-424-2:

• SCP-CN-424-2-A and SCP-CN-424-2-B: A corresponds to the backing plate, shaped like a violin; B corresponds to a rolling pin, shaped like a bow. When A and B are used together, dough will be produced out of thin air in the cavity of A. The raw material and size of the dough will change according to the changes of A and B. For example, A and B shaped like a cello will produce a larger dough. It usually takes 2-3 instances of SCP-CN-424 on each side to move B to play the strings.
• SCP-CN-424-2-C, corresponding to the egg beater, shaped like a tambourine. Can produce egg liquid out of thin air. Although it is hollow inside, it will make a sound like a tambourine when you use it to beat eggs, and it will make the egg liquid move with the rhythm.
• SCP-CN-424-2-D, corresponding to the oven, looks like a drum set. The facility has several ovens of different sizes. Tap D rhythmically to inflate the dim sum quickly. SCP-CN-424 has a special "drum stick", but sometimes jumps directly on the tool.
• SCP-CN-424-2-E corresponds to a mounting gun, similar to a trumpet instrument. Draw different patterns by pressing different keys. The tool can produce cream by itself. Different numbers correspond to different types and sizes of decorating guns.
• SCP-CN-424-2-F, corresponding to the mold, looks like various musical instruments. This instrument has no specific instrument counterpart, but most are plucked string instruments. Large molds, such as cake molds, are often shaped like harps, and small molds, such as chocolate molds, are often shaped like guitars. Plucking the strings will cause the poured material to quickly solidify into shape.
• SCP-CN-424-2-G, corresponding to the condiment bottle, looks like various blowing and aerophones, most of which are piccolos. Similar to E, this tool can produce different seasonings and spices by itself, and the different keys correspond to the amount.
• SCP-CN-424-2-H, corresponding to the conveyor belt, looks like a xylophone. The only SCP-CN-424-2 discovered so far that has nothing to do with baking is only used for transferring between processes and for transferring finished products to the outside world. No need to tap or operate, just place the snack on the tool and it will be transferred automatically, and the music will be played continuously.

In addition, there are other SCP-CN-424-2, which can basically be corresponded according to the above template. When not in use, it will be placed in the cabinet of SCP-CN-424-1, and once placed, it cannot be found by individuals other than SCP-CN-424. It is speculated that there seems to be more SCP-CN-424-2 stored in the area, but the staff could not find it from the cabinet.

SCP-CN-424-3 is the general name for the abnormal food produced by SCP-CN-424. So far, SCP-CN-424 can only produce snacks, but there are a wide variety of them, including but not limited to various types of bread, cakes, biscuits, desserts, etc. Individuals hardly engage in any behavior other than productive behavior. The abnormal nature of SCP-CN-424-3 is that it has a strong excitatory effect, which will make the subject's heart beat faster, and the spirit is highly excited to the point of confusion, and even produce illusions, generally manifested as hallucinations ("the scene in front of you keeps beating") and auditory hallucinations ("upbeat music constantly playing in the ears"). Continuous consumption of SCP-CN-424-3█ for more than 3█ days will lead to irreversible mental illness, and even hemorrhage or death. At the same time, SCP-CN-424-3 is highly addictive, making the subjects consume SCP-CN-424-3 continuously. If the subject is not given SCP-CN-424-3 (such as a quarantined subject), it will desperately obtain it.

Experiments have proved that the above-mentioned abnormal properties of SCP-CN-424-3 come from the unknown substances that make up SCP-CN-424; Anomalous properties of CN-424-3. If not self-destructing, the product will only "better the mood" of the eater. (See Experiment CN-424-alpha for details)

SCP-CN-424 was found in a bakery in ██ District, Shanghai. The store does not have any salespersons or cashier areas, and there are no staff members entering or leaving. All the pastries were transferred to the window by the conveyor belt; at the same time, a large number of visitors reported that they "heard cheerful music coming from the kitchen". Eating the store's products resulted in many deaths, but a large number of customers still went; thus the Foundation discovered its anomaly and blocked it. In the kitchen, Foundation personnel found a large number of SCP-CN-424 in production.

+experiment CN-424-alpha

Experimental CN-424-alpha-1
The staff asked SCP-CN-424 to carry out a production according to the normal process.
The individual began to use SCP-CN-424-2 to produce according to the process, and the product was croissants. Started by the individual responsible for operating SCP-CN-424-2-A and SCP-CN-424-2-B (backing board, rolling pin), and then all individuals put into work. Individuals seem to perform their own duties, but overall they played a cheerful and harmonious ensemble. After investigation, the music does not match the tune of any existing music, and it is speculated that it was created by SCP-CN-424. When using SCP-CN-424-2-D, several instances suddenly jumped into it and self-destructed. The production was then completed, and the instance produced ██ loaves at a time, which took ██ minutes.
After testing, there is an unknown substance in the bread, which is the same as the substance produced after SCP-CN-424 self-destructs; the substance seems to be able to last longer in SCP-CN-424. After the D-class personnel ate it, all personnel experienced varying degrees of confusion and a strong desire to eat it again, confirming that the bread has the characteristics of SCP-CN-424-3.

Experimental CN-424-alpha-2
//The staff requested a production according to the normal process without SCP-CN-424 self-destructing. //
The product is still a croissant. The procedure is the same, except that there is no individual self-destruct.
The appearance of the product is the same as the above experiment, and there is no unknown substance in it after testing. D-class personnel all expressed that "the mood has improved" and "it feels like listening to a very cheerful song" after eating it.

Conclusion: The abnormal properties of SCP-CN-424-3 are mainly caused by unknown substances produced by SCP-CN-424 self-destruction. Products without this substance still have some anomalous properties, but are basically harmless.

+interview CN-424-beta

Interviewer:Dr.Bread
Remarks:Since SCP-CN-424 can only act in groups and there is no disagreement among its internal opinions during this interview, it is only referred to as SCP-CN-424 here.
Dr.Bread:What are your names?
SCP-CN-424:We are baking elves! Baking is what we do for fun!
Dr.Bread: So you usually only bake? Will you do anything else?
SCP-CN-424: Baking is what we enjoy! Don't want to do anything else, just want to make snacks!
Dr. Bread: When did you show up?
SCP-CN-424:We are baking elves! Where there is baking, there is us.
Dr. Bread: Do you know of other, uh, sprites like you in other places?
SCP-CN-424: Don’t know, but probably? After all, where there is baking, there is us!
Dr.Bread: Did you make these equipment yourself? And this kitchen, did you build it yourself?
SCP-CN-424:? They are our partners and they are always there!
Dr.Bread:Why do you hate electronics?
SCP-CN-424: I don’t like strange utensils! It was buzzing all the time and the dim sum was not happy at all!
Dr.Bread:Why do you play music while baking?
SCP-CN-424:Because of being happy! Baking is what we do for fun!
Dr.Bread:Why do you sacrifice yourself while baking?
SCP-CN-424: Because this is tradition? In this way, people will like our snacks more, and there will be us in baking, so that more us will be produced! (Individual began to jump continuously, showing a happy look)
Dr. Bread: How do you decide who sacrifices and who doesn't?
SCP-CN-424: Doesn't it matter? Ah, it seems it's my turn. (then the individual jumped into SCP-CN-424-2-D to self-destruct, and other individuals still answered)
Dr. Bread: You know people don't really like dim sum made this way? Or even make people sick and die?
SCP-CN-424:Like is like like? Our numbers have increased!
Dr.Bread: If you make dim sum like this again in the future, no one will eat it. Will you still be like this?
SCP-CN-424: Is that so? Is that so? (SCP-CN-424 is caught in a discussion, the content of the discussion is only to ask each other "Is this so?")If no one likes it, there will be no us…well, let's not do it…
It has been verified that the store has existed for no more than █ months, and the death of personnel occurred only █ days ago. Given SCP-CN-424 has an extremely short lifespan, so it is not feasible to ask its source. However, it also raises the possibility of the existence of other SCP-CN-424 instances, and the Foundation will continue to investigate.

+experiment CN-424-gamma

Experimental CN-424-gamma-1
The staff asked SCP-CN-424 to play a sad piece of music and produce it.
SCP-CN-424 refused to produce, and said "Sad snacks are not snacks! Sad baking is not happy!"

Experimental CN-424-gamma-2
The staff played a piece of Mozart's "Requiem"-The Day of Tears to SCP-CN-424, and asked SCP-CN-424 if it could be played.
SCP-CN-424 indicated that it could play, and started production at the same time. When playing, SCP-CN-424 made a great arrangement of the repertoire, making it very cheerful. At the same time, vocal parts are replaced by instrumental performances. The effect of the product is the same as the dessert without SCP-CN-424 self-destructing.

Experimental CN-424-gamma-3
The staff asked if SCP-CN-424 could make Chinese dim sum.
SCP-CN-424 quickly took out a completely different set of SCP-CN-424-2 from the cabinet, which resembled a Chinese musical instrument, such as F (mold) was replaced with a guzheng and a pipa, and D (oven) was replaced with a big drum. After playing a cheerful folk music, it produces multiple mooncakes. Repeated experiments have proved that it can produce a large number of snacks from all over the world, including flower cakes, custard buns, etc.
The staff then experimented with dim sum from other countries. After experiments, for some countries, SCP-CN-424 can take out the country's corresponding musical instruments to make the country's special snacks; for other countries, especially countries where the country's desserts are not popular in China, SCP-CN-424 said "I don't know …" and cannot be crafted.
