章節 136: Goodbye Dr. Li

Instead of staying at the place that the Foundation had arranged for him, Zhang Jue found himself in a nearby hotel.

He lay on his bed he carefully analyzed the current situation. So far, he had contacted four O5s directly or indirectly. Including O5-5, whom he just met today. Lei Shan's boss, O5-6. Lei Shui's boss, O5-10, and SCP-3844's old friend O5-12.

Among them, the only ones he had met were O5-5 and O5-12. Coincidentally, both of them have apparent hatred towards him and can be said to want to get rid of him before they do as for the others. Although not all of them are friendly to him, at least no apparent conflict was made between them.

Of course, the fact that no conflict had broken out did not mean that it was trustworthy; after all, it was unclear to him which O5 Guan Peng's transfer order had come from. Most of the O5 Council should have a wait-and-see attitude towards him. As long as he shows enough ability and does not overdo it, I believe they will not interfere in a short time.

With this in mind, he dared to act "arrogant" today at Site-19. He knows very well that the Foundation does not need a docile and obedient person. As long as he has the value of use, the Foundation will not do anything to him.

...

Although O5-5 forbade Zhang Jue to see SCP-682, it did not prevent him from entering Site-19. The next day he was accompanied by Morales and wandered around the facility. Site19 was the main headquarters of the Foundation and held many secrets. Even though Zhang Jue had Level 4 Security Clearance, there were still many places he couldn't get into.

However, he still made detours left and right and was happy to do so. As time goes, Morales was exhausted and couldn't catch up with Zhang Jue, but he was still alive and well.

"Little Mo, if you can't catch up with me, you need to exercise more." Zhang Jue patted Morales' shoulder and spoke in a serious manner, "Think about it, in case the containment breach happens one day. You won't be able to run much."

Morales said with a sad face, "Advisor Zhang. You need to be careful throwing those words in Site-19."

After a whole day together, Morales probably understood what kind of personality Zhang Jue was. When it comes to harsh words, he can't be stopped.

When Bellamy said one thing about him, he made Bellamy silent in a few words. Yesterday, when he met with an O5, knowing his character, it was estimated that both sides' interaction would not end well.

"I was just telling a joke, don't take it seriously. Look at your expression. Why do you look like you've stumbled upon something? People need to laugh more to look young." Zhang Jue said while laughing.

All the staff members passing by looked at them with strange eyes. Morales wanted to dig a hole and burrow himself, while Zhang Jue was laughing even more arrogantly.

"Zhang Jue! Is that you? Zhang Jue!" In the distance, a hoarse voice can be heard. The voice was full of resentment, like a devil.

Zhang Jue stopped laughing and looked over at the voice. Only to see a team of security personnel escorting a group of D-Class personnel passing by in the distance, not knowing where they were to be sent.

All of the D-class personnel were wearing blindfolds, and their hands and feet were all shackled, messy to the extreme. One of them was calling out his name.

"Zhang Jue! I can hear your voice! Come and kill me if you dare! Kill me!"

This man was so arrogant. The last person who made such a request had been fed to the pigs by me, you know.

This was Zhang Jue's first reaction when he heard the voice.

Two seconds later, he realized that the voice seemed familiar, and he definitely knew whose voice was that. He hurriedly pulled Morales towards the team of security personnel and ran toward them. The security personnel doesn't know his identity. Seeing his aggressive movement, all of them raised their guns at him.

Seeing that the Security Personnel were pointing guns at them, Morales hurriedly pulled out his ID, "Calm down! We're with you!"

However, Zhang Jue ignored the guns and walked up to the man who called his name. Looking at the familiar figure, Zhang Jue froze. He did not expect to see his old acquaintance here.

"Dr. Li?!" Heard Zhang Jue's voice close at hand. Dr. Li, who was blindfolded, became excited.

"Zhang Jue! I knew it was you! How dare you come here! You made me be like this!" He was incoherent and very agitated.

It was obvious that Zhang Jue's arrival had touched his sensitive nerves. At this moment, Dr. Li was covered in wounds, not a single piece of good flesh was spared on his entire body, and a part of his face was full of scars, looking very miserable.

Zhang Jue looked at him with a frown. He came to this world, the first "villain" he encountered was Dr. Li. After the Site-14 Infiltration, Dr. Li was taken away by the Foundation for investigation, and he had thought that the two of them would never cross paths again. But he didn't expect to meet him again here.

The world must be really small, huh.

A man who looked like a captain came forward, "Supervisor Morales, what's going on?"

Morales hurriedly explained, "This is the Foundation's Special Advisor, Zhang Jue. I was ordered to give him a tour around here."

"So that's how it is." The captain nodded and gestured to the rear, and only then did all the team members lowered their guns. He turned to Zhang Jue, "Advisor Zhang, we have a mission to do. So, please make it quick."

Before Zhang Jue could say anything, Dr. Li shouted, "No! Don't take me away! Zhang Jue, kill me! If you're a man, kill me!"

The Foundation's D-Class personnel, who were generally on death row for their most heinous crimes, is used by the Foundation for various experiments. After being brought back by the Foundation for a review, Dr. Li already knew his fate.

He was begging for death, but he couldn't get it. He could only live in fear day by day. He didn't know what kind of cruel experiments he would be subjected to next. I wonder if he still remembers what he said at Site-14.

Dr. Li violates one of the biggest things in the Foundation, leading the Chaos Insurgency to enter Site-14, killing and injuring countless security personnel there, and nearly setting off a nuclear strike. Even if he were subjected to the harshest punishment, Zhang Jue would not be soft-hearted.

He looked at the nearly crazy Dr. Li and calmly said, "Li Chengming, when you betrayed the Foundation, you should have thought there would be consequences like this. You only had one life to use. It was simply a bargain for you."

"Zhang Jue, you bastard. You arrogant prick, why don't you just kill me right now!" Dr. Li kept going back and forth with these few words, and Zhang Jue was tired of hearing them. He waved his hand and told the security personnel to take him away.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Li was furious and pushed the security personnel away.

Bang!

The captain shot Dr. Li in the leg, and he fell to the ground while screaming in pain. The captain gave a command, and the team pulled out a tape and tried to shut his mouth.

Knowing that this was his only chance, Dr. Li shouted a second before his mouth was gagged, "Zhang Jue, don't you want to know who really wants to kill you? The person who pushed you into SCP-053 was not me at all!"
