Rolf pulled out a bead from his bosom. The bead was smooth, emitting a faint green glow, with what appeared to be a cloud of smoke slowly moving inside it.

"This is an SCP containment object carried by our Squad 36, the 'Devouring Bead'. It's used to absorb the sinful energy of human-beasts. When I was captured, I had this containment object on me," Rolf spoke softly, "I swallowed it."

Altair took the containment object, contemplative.

Every action squad in the Pei family carries a containment object on their missions to help eliminate human-beasts. Altair had thought that Squad 36 had lost theirs, but it turned out Rolf had hidden the Devouring Bead.

However, according to the information he had, the Devouring Bead's side effect is that it can consume vitality at any time, whether it's the power of human-beasts or the life force of supernatural beings. Altair's gaze fell on Rolf, then he turned his head away without looking at him.
