Item #: SCP-2372
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2372 is to be kept in a cryonic containment unit at Site-168. The temperature of the containment unit is to be maintained within a range between 2 ºC to 4 ºC. SCP-2372-A's requests for its detachment from SCP-2372 are to be denied. SCP-2372-A is to be told that it will be slated for experiments to detach it from SCP-2372 in exchange for its cooperation in translating for SCP-2372.
Description: SCP-2372 is the preserved corpse of Chen ███-██, impervious to decomposition. Grains of powdered jade and silk threads are found embedded into SCP-2372's subcutis, evenly distributed throughout its body. Scarring and stitching found on SCP-2372 are indicative of amateur surgical procedures.
SCP-2372 can produce a groan-like sound from its mouth despite the inability for its vocal folds to vibrate, which functions as its method of communication; see Paragraph 4 of Description. In addition, it generates a fog from its umbilicus. Analysis of water droplets in the fog has identified trace amounts of pre-ejaculatory fluid.
SCP-2372-A is an incorporeal humanoid entity which manifests from the fog generated from SCP-2372, which resembles Chen's upper torso. It is sapient and identifies itself as Chen ███-██. Through vibration of its constituent water particles, SCP-2372-A is capable of speech and demonstrates equal proficiency in Cantonese as Chen ███-██.
SCP-2372-A is the only known individual which can comprehend sounds made by SCP-2372, regularly conversing with it. From SCP-2372-A's perspective, it and SCP-2372 have an apparently antagonistic relationship. While SCP-2372's perspective on its relationship with SCP-2372-A cannot be enquired independently, it is found to occasionally secrete pre-ejaculatory fluid from its urethra while interacting with SCP-2372-A.
SCP-2372 was recovered from the Victoria Public Mortuary in Hong Kong on ██/██/1987, when SCP-2372-A manifested during SCP-2372's autopsy. After retrieving the corpse, the incident was dismissed as a hallucination on the coroner's part. An urn filled with ashes of cremated animals was presented to the kin of Chen ███-██.

Interviewee: SCP-2372-A and SCP-2372
Interviewer: Agent Ocean Park
Foreword: The following interview is originally conducted in Cantonese.
<Begin Log>
Agent Park: Hello, please state your identity.
SCP-2372-A: Chen ███-██. It's good that someone decides not to run away and scream.
Agent Park: But you can't be Mr. Chen. Isn't he already deceased?
SCP-2372-A: Yeah, thanks for reminding me that. Now if you could be a dear, help me please.
Agent Park: In what manner?
[SCP-2372-A points to SCP-2372.]
SCP-2372-A: Get this thing off me!
Agent Park: You mean, your body?
SCP-2372-A: Yeah, I'm stuck with that thing.
[SCP-2372 groans. SCP-2372-A turns away from Agent Park.]
SCP-2372-A: Hey, don't you give me that! You're a sinful waste of flesh and soul!
Agent Park: Are you talking to your body?
SCP-2372-A: Can't you tell? Look, I made a grave mistake in life and I need you to remo-
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: No, it was definitely a mistake! We are supposed to go our separate ways after death. Me up there, and you down there!
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: No no no! This was not worth the jade suit! I'm not paying the price for my stupidity in life with my afterlife!
Agent Park: What is this jade suit?
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: Screw you! We do not have that kind of relationship!

Interviewee: SCP-2372-A and SCP-2372
Interviewer: Dr. Fuji Tsang
Foreword: The following interview is originally conducted in Cantonese.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Tsang: SCP-2372-A, can you tell more about the circumstances about this jade suit of yours?
SCP-2372-A: Yeah, it was-
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: Hush you! Like I was saying, I got it from Old Chin, the "self-proclaimed" miracle surgeon from the Walled City.
Dr. Tsang: Kowloon Walled City?
SCP-2372-A: Yeah, a few years back.
Dr. Tsang: Do give us the address later. But I want to know why did you choose to do this operation?
SCP-2372-A: Well, I used to work in the cemetery and handle corpses all the time. When you see those dead bodies so many times, I thought I would be like them someday. And boy, I do not want-
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: Get your head out of the gutter! I did not do it for you!
[SCP-2372 groans]
Dr. Tsang: What did SCP-2372 say?
SCP-2372-A: Irrelevant. That thing does not represent me.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
Dr. Tsang: SCP-2372-A, we've agreed on this. If you insist on not giving us accurate translation of SCP-2372's words, we cannot help you. It's your choice.
SCP-2372-A: Okay, but please don't take its word for it. It claims that I – I mean, Chen ███-██ – was into himself… physically speaking.
Dr. Tsang: And you do not believe it's true?
SCP-2372-A: Doctor, I'm his hún. I think I know Chen ███-██ more than anyone else in this world.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: No, you don't know him. You're just projecting your fantasies on us. What makes you think that way?
[SCP-2372 groans.]
Dr. Tsang: 2372-A, please leave the questioning to me. And translation, please?
SCP-2372-A: It insisted that it knew Chen as well as I do, which is false.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: No, you are definitely sick in that rotting head of yours. Chen ███-██ was not relieving you whenever he was looking at those magazines.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: God! Just because his hand was on you doesn't mean he was thinking about you. He was never into himself, I mean, you.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: I've already explained it! Chen ███-██ just wants to keep himself together after death.
[SCP-2372 groans.]
SCP-2372-A: Not in that way, you pervert!
