Kapitel 68: Your Name

With a creak, the huge wooden door rattled, and an enchanting figure stepped out from the gap in the door.

"Goodbye, little boy." A flirtatious voice rang out, and countless goosebumps instantly rose on Zhang Jue's body.

He didn't need to think about it to know who was coming. Zhang Jue's eyebrows were tangled together at the black trench coat. What was this woman doing here alone, standing and waiting for him?

The woman in black licked her lips, "Did you miss me?"

Unlike the beautiful woman in the illusion, her flirtatiousness was not faked. The way she raised her hand could make people's hearts, and souls flutter.

"Ah, the young lady in black. You are so beautiful. How could I not miss you?" Zhang Jue said, hiding the dragon crystal in his hand behind his back without a trace, trying to find an opportunity to put it into his Pocket Dimension.

But his actions did not escape the eyes of the woman in black.

"Little boy, are you hiding something behind me?" She slowly walked toward Zhang Jue.

"No, how could I?" Zhang Jue laughed awkwardly, backing up step by step.

Just kidding.

In one move, this woman in black had subdued two big men, Hael and Davis. In a one-on-one, he was certainly no match. It looked like she was also here for SCP-3844, but he had gotten here faster than her by coincidence.

If he hadn't fallen into that hole, I'm afraid it would have been her that SCP-3844 would've met. The woman in black smiled and walked forward, while Zhang Jue stepped back and was soon hit the edge of the wall.

"Kukuku, little boy, there's no place to hide, is there?" She looked at Zhang Jue with a smile, "Are you going to hand over the item in your hand voluntarily, or do you want your sister to do it herself?"

The treasure was already in his hand, and to give it away at this time would be better than dying. Zhang Jue made up his mind that even if he exposed his ability, he couldn't let her snatch the dragon crystal. He was about to activate his ability to forcibly send the Dragon Crystal to the Pocket Dimension when suddenly he felt a strong wind hit him.

"Ugh..." Zhang Jue bent over and fell to the ground like a shrimp. The intense pain made him lose his ability to resist instantly.

In just one strike, Zhang Jue was defeated. The woman in black was so fast that even with the Dragon Crystal's augmentation, Zhang Jue couldn't see the trajectory of her moves. Hael and Davis must have been defeated in the same way, unable to see her movement, let alone counterattacking her.

Subduing Zhang Jue in one move, the woman in black clapped her hands, "Oh little boy, I'm sorry." She bent down and picked up the dragon crystal from Zhang Jue's hand, placing it in her hand and playing with it. Her eyebrows arched, "This is very nice."

Zhang Jue endured the sharp pain in his abdomen and got up from the ground with difficulty, "My lady," Zhang Jue coughed a few times, "What you're doing is very unethical."

The woman in black winked at him, "What is it, little boy? Do you hav-" She found out that she couldn't move.

"My lady, I'm a bit offended, you know." Zhang Jue laughed loudly and took back his Dragon Crystal from her hand.

The woman in black's hand was a bit cool and very soft, but Zhang Jue had no desire to take advantage of it at this time. He was careful, afraid that the woman in black would suddenly get violent.

He had done experiments, like "Mind Freeze" and "Terror Projection" from the mental level to influence others. The stronger the opponent he faced, the less effective it would result, and as for the duration, it will gradually weaken over time.

Just like at this time, although the woman in black still can't attack him, she can already talk.

"Little boy, I didn't think I'd underestimate you. But if you don't kill me, that thing of yours will still be mine sooner or later."

Zhang Jue hated what she had just said in his heart because the modern weapon would make SCP-3844 more powerful. Just to make sure, he had left all his weapons to Hael. If he had a gun at this moment, he wouldn't have to be so arrogant as this woman. But since he didn't, he naturally had to follow his heart's choice.

"My lady, be careful about what you said. I am not that cruel, you know."

Unlike Mr. Samuel, this woman was not someone to be messed with, and Zhang Jue noticed that her feet were already adjusting their position, so she must be able to move more or less. If she couldn't win with a single blow, it was better not to approach her, or he had made a mistake. He would be easy prey for her.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhang Jue moved, and a small black hole appeared in front of him. It was the Pocket Dimension he had received from The Old Man, and he put the Dragon Crystal inside. Only then does he feel a bit at ease.

Seeing this scene, the woman in black hummed, "Little boy, I didn't know you had this kind of ability."

Zhang Jue looked at her hot body under the trench coat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "My lady, I have a lot of abilities, but I'm afraid you won't have the chance to enjoy them."

At this point, the woman in black was able to move, but she didn't start to attack. She feared that Zhang Jue still had a secret up on his sleeve. On the other hand, Zhang Jue held the Reality Anchor he had secretly taken out earlier in his hand, ready to make a last stand with her.

This was the first time he had faced a powerful enemy in the true sense of the word. The battle between the two was on the verge of breaking out.

Boom!

A loud sound came from above. Some debris and dust fell from the top of the cave.

What's happening? Was the cave going to collapse? Both of them froze. Zhang Jue's mind spun and instantly guessed what had caused it.

The reason why the cave could exist in a way that defied common sense was because of SCP-3844's ability. Now that SCP-3844 was dead and the Dragon Crystal had been sent to the Pocket Dimension by Zhang Jue, the cave could no longer be maintained.

The woman in black also realized the problem and said, "Look what you've done."

Zhang Jue spread his hands, "Who asked you to rob it? Now what?"

The woman in black said, "You take that thing out, or we'll be buried alive here."

"My lady, have you ever seen something eaten in the stomach and spit it out?" Zhang Jue said, "I don't have that habit."

Zhang Jue was determined. Even if the cave collapsed, he could hide in the Pocket Dimension, and as for how to get out, he can think about it later.

The two faced each other, neither one of them refusing to concede defeat, and more and more debris fell above their head. If Zhang Jue didn't take out the Dragon Crystal, the whole cave would collapse in a few minutes. But he had some plans ahead, so naturally, he would not give the woman in black a chance to grab the treasure.

After another minute, the woman in black finally sighed as she took a few steps back, "Okay, little boy. You win. I won't rob your stuff."

"Really?" Zhang Jue shook, "My lady, are you sure about it? Don't lie to me."

The woman in black took a few more steps back, "I'm being for real, alright?"

The distance between her and Zhang Jue has come to about ten meters. Even if she has a gun at this distance, Zhang Jue is not afraid. Time waited for no man, and in just a few moments, the cave could completely collapse. Confirming that it was safe, Zhang Jue immediately took the Dragon Crystal out of the Pocket Dimension.

The shaking of the cave finally stopped. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The woman in black laughed, "Little boy, aren't you afraid that I won't keep my word?"

At this time, Zhang Jue had the Reality Anchor in hand, not afraid of her, "My lady, maybe we can test our strength. To see whether you can stand my power or I can test your strong you are."

He said with a double entendre. The woman in black didn't stutter but threw a wink, "Then come here." Zhang Jue did not move a muscle.

"You have no guts." The woman in black hummed, "All right, little boy. I can see that you are not an ordinary person. I'll surrender to you so that I will let you off for now, but I have one condition."

Zhang Jue said, "What condition?"

The woman in black glanced out the wooden door, "You have to let those people return to normal."

Zhang Jue remembered that there were still many people from the Serpent's Hand trapped in an illusion outside the wooden door. It seemed that even though SCP-3844 had died, their state had not yet recovered. At this point, Zhang Jue was confident.

"Deal." He said.

The woman in black stepped back, and Zhang Jue followed her forward, the two always keeping a safe distance from the corridor outside. Zhang Jue held the Dragon Crystal in his hand and activated the "deactivation" ability on each of the members of the Serpent Hand.

After they returned to normal, they all collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain, not knowing what they had experienced in the illusion. The good thing is that they are still in good condition. After a few minutes, they regained their consciousness and helped each other stand up.

The woman in black looked at them and sighed helplessly. The members of the Serpent's Hand were so surprised to see her that it was as if they had seen a God, all kneeling on one knee with devout expressions.

The woman in black waved her hand and told them to leave on their own through the cave entrance. Zhang Jue looked at this scene, also a little surprised.

This lady was something else. To think that the Serpent's Hand knew about her to make their hearts happy and obedient was not something ordinary people could do.

"Well, little boy. See you later." The woman in black smiled, "You have to protect yourself. One day, I will get that thing back."

"Ah, I'll be waiting for you." Zhang Jue lazily said, "My lady, we should know each other. Maybe like give me your phone number and name, add me on WeChat or anything else."

The woman in black laughed, "Little boy, I like your boldness. My name is Alison, remember that."

Hearing this name, Zhang Jue's mouth opened wide, "Alison? The Black Queen?"

"Black Queen? That's a good name." The woman in black licked her lips, "It will be mine from now on."
