I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 69: Mysterious Person

When Zhang Jue came out of the Dragon's Nest, it was already morning. The snowstorm had stopped, and there was a blanket of white snow as far as the eye could see. The sky had cleared, and the bright sun shone throughout his body, making it very warm.

The Black Queen and the Serpent's Hand had gone missing, and they should have had their way to leave the area. Zhang Jue took out his compass and map, identified the direction, and began to head back the way he came.

After about an hour of walking, he saw a group of people slowly marching towards him on the hillside not far ahead, judging from the equipment style. It should be the SCP Foundation's backup team.

"Hey, it's Advisor Zhang!" The other side had also spotted him, and one of them jumped up to greet him. It was the voice of Hael.

Zhang Jue knew that Harvey, that smiling tiger, would certainly never do such a thing as this. Half an hour later, the two sides finally met up. Looking at Zhang Jue unharmed, Hael finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Zhang Jue, he would definitely have been in trouble.

Because of the snowstorm yesterday, the SCP Foundation's backup team looked in bad condition, with snow stains all over their bodies, not knowing where they had spent the night hiding under a rock. On the other hand, Zhang Jue waited for the snowstorm to stop before coming out of the cave. Both mentally and physically better than they knew. Hael was very surprised.

"Advisor Zhang, that, did you find that giant dragon?" He asked cautiously.

"Found it." Zhang Jue nodded his head.

"Huh?" Hael was shocked and looked Zhang Jue up and down to make sure he wasn't injured, "Then how are you doing now? How are we going to contain it? I think this matter can't be rushed. It's good that you're fine. Let's go back first and think about the plan for the dragon later."

At this time, Zhang Jue was holding binoculars, looking at the surrounding terrain, judging whether there was a risk of an avalanche. Hearing Hael's words, he said, "You mean that giant dragon? It's already dead."

"Oh, it's dead." Hael continued, "Even if it's not good to contain, for the time being, we should make up a reason to trick those tourists first. Otherwise, they will come here sooner or later-- what? Advisor Zhang, what did you say? It's already dead?"

"Right." Zhang Jue nodded his head.

"That's... Advisor Zhang, are you sure? I remember Davis said that the giant dragon was several hundred meters long... you know, several hundred meters long. It was as big as several soccer fields... you said that the dragon was..." said Hael, while making a gesture describing the dragon, afraid that Zhang Jue did not know what a giant dragon looked like.

"Dead." Zhang Jue looked at him, "Too dead to die."

"Gulp." Hael swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The words had come to this point. He couldn't believe it.

He looked Zhang Jue up and down a second time. He wanted to see if Zhang Jue had grown three heads and six arms this time. How could he have killed such a behemoth with his own strength, knowing that it was something that even the GOC couldn't do before?

Even in his dreams, Hael could not have imagined that the death of SCP-3844 was because of suicide. But Zhang Jue didn't explain anything to him. This time, Hael had learned to be faithful, and if Zhang Jue didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask.

Zhang Jue and Hael returned to the GOC's camp in the evening. Davis and the fake Hunter had been sent back to the site, which was now occupied by Harvey and the MTF, who had rushed to support them.

"Advisor Zhang, I knew God would bless you. Look, you really came back safely, thank God." Harvey greeted them with a smile.

"I'm a man with a hard life. I won't die that easily. The God of Death wouldn't even dare to touch me, thanks to you for believing in me."

Zhang Jue and Harvey smiled and embraced each other, changing mouths to mouths to compliment each other. Hael looked at the two of them, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said to the assistant next to him, "I believe it this time, too."

Harvey put his arm around Zhang Jue and whispered, "Advisor Zhang, I heard that you executed that dragon by yourself?"

Zhang Jue only told Hael that the giant dragon was dead without saying how, but they naturally assumed that Zhang Jue had done it.

Zhang Jue didn't want to reveal too many details and smiled heatedly, "No, no, it was just a coincidence. It had eaten too much at the time and was having diarrhea."

Unexpectedly, Harvey's face became a little twisted, "About that, something troublesome had happened."

Seeing that his expression was a bit tangled, Zhang Jue wondered, "What's wrong?"

Harvey sipped his teeth, "Don't you know that Advisor Zhang, there's a big shot from the headquarters who says he wants to meet that dragon, and now that you've taken out that dragon. I don't know how to explain to him about the situation."

"Oh..." When Harvey said that, Zhang Jue understood. This person was trying to dump the pot again, but it came from the big shot from the headquarters. Zhang Jue suddenly thought about what SCP-3844 had said before he died, he was waiting for an old friend, and it looked like it should be this person without a doubt.

Thinking about what he had promised SCP-3844, Zhang Jue patted his chest, "Don't worry, Harvey. I'll make sure it's no problem. I'll explain this matter to that big shot myself."

Seeing Zhang Jue was so kind, Harvey's eyebrows curved, "Eh, don't worry about it. From the moment I met you, you are my brother Harvey. If there is really any problem, I will help you!" Zhang Jue's eyelids jumped.

A few people tidied up a bit at the camp, ate a meal, and headed back down the mountain. They finally arrived at the town called Naya at noon the next day.

A few days passed, the tourist coming to the town didn't decrease, but the opposite. Probably because those amateur captured videos have spread on the Internet, explorers from all over the world are flocking to the town.

Unlike those journalists, these people are capable of entering the deep mountains and if SCP-3844 had not committed suicide. It was only a matter of time before they discovered him.

Accompanied by Harvey, Zhang Jue arrived at an ordinary private house. Zhang Jue found that there was more than one agent on guard at various intersections and high points around the private house, the highest level of security he had seen so far.

Harvey stood in front of the private house and carefully knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Apparently, it was some sort of passcode. After two minutes, the door pried open a small crack.

The man inside looked at Harvey warily, "ID."

Harvey hurriedly handed in his papers. The man double-checked and looked at Zhang Jue behind him to ensure there was no danger before he opened the door completely.

Zhang Jue and Harvey entered the private room together and found that it was far more spacious than it looked. Led by the man who opened the door, the two circled for two minutes before finally arriving at the door of a room.

The door opener said to Zhang Jue, "My lord has said that only you are allowed to enter alone." Because of this, Zhang Jue felt weird.

Harvey, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief. He will be more relaxed as long as he doesn't meet the person inside. He did not care to say anything to Zhang Jue, turned around, and ran away instantly.

Seeing Harvey's action, Zhang Jue couldn't help but curse. This old man he's definitely not reliable at critical moments.

The door opener made an inviting gesture, urging Zhang Jue to enter, seemingly not wanting to delay too long. Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders and opened the door.

The room was not large, and there was an old man inside. He was on crutches, looking out the window at the Alps.

When he heard Zhang Jue's footsteps, he did not turn around but spoke in a mellow voice, "Young man, do you know who I am?"

Zhang Jue found a chair and sat down instantly. In terms of aura, no one had been able to overpower him.

He crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Master. No need to be so mysterious. I knew for a fact that you're one of the O5 Council members."
