I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 41: reason

   At two o'clock in the afternoon, the art performance officially began.

   For the students and alumni of Jiangzhou University, this is a grand event.

   But for Zhang Jue, this is simply a disaster.

   When I encounter this kind of incident during vacation, I can’t eat well and sleep well. The most important thing is that I don’t have overtime pay.

   I really saw a ghost.

  The most shocking people are those drama actors who have been rehearsing for a long time. They cannot accept Zhang Jue's participation.

   For this reporting performance, they have been rehearsing for more than half a year, temporarily changing the script to allow a stranger who has never learned to perform to join, which is tantamount to ruining the whole show.

   "Teacher Zhang, what shall we do?"

   "Mr. Zhang, why is this happening? Did we do something wrong?"

"Teacher Zhang……"

   Zhang Shijia couldn't explain to his classmates why Zhang Jue should be allowed to join, because he himself did not know the truth.

   "Charlie's Revenge" adapted from SCP-701 "The Tragedy of the Hanged King" is a five-act revenge drama that took place in the 17th century. The whole script probably tells such a story:

A king (Sfore) was stunned by his brother (Zalo) using poison and alcohol while he was out hunting and he was hanged on a tree. Since Sfore had no heirs, Zalor should have become He became the next monarch, and at the same time married the original queen Isabella as the new queen.

At the enthronement ceremony, the drunk Queen Isabella confessed to a minister, telling him that King Sipho did not die naturally, but was murdered by Zallo. She and Sipho originally had a child, so they came to participate. A certain nobleman at the ceremony-Charlie.

   Charlie heard this, and he didn't believe it at first, but when he got home, he had a dream. He dreamed of the dead King Sipho, and the king confirmed Isabella's words to him. (In the actual performance, he narrated his dreams to his servants, so the king did not appear.)

  Charlie prepares to take revenge and regain his throne.

   Zallo knew about Isabella betraying him, locked Isabella, and planned to kill all the ministers who had heard of it, so he held another banquet.

   After going through hardships, Charlie rescued his mother Isabella and arrived at the banquet, exposing Zallo's conspiracy.

   When the ministers learned of this, they hanged Zallo and elected Charlie as the new king.

  The classmate who plays the protagonist Charlie is called Li Ou. He is a fair-faced student. He is particularly dissatisfied with Zhang Jue's joining.

   "Mr. Zhang, the plot of the whole drama is actually very simple, there are not many main characters, Mr. Zhang temporarily joined, what is his identity? What about the lines? This is not something that can be done in an hour or two!"

   The students are full of energy, and they don’t know the importance of Zhang Jue to the school, so they speak a bit aggressively.

   Zhang Shijia himself actually had these questions. He couldn't answer this question, so he looked at Zhang Jue as if asking for help.

   Zhang Jue was choosing his costume among the props at this time. He felt their eyes and smiled at all the students who participated in the performance.

"First of all, I want to explain to you that by temporarily joining the show, I don't want to ruin your efforts, but to help you complete it better. As for the identity-I will play the dead king. "

  Here, Zhang Jue is telling the truth. Without him, without his "magic immunity effect", it is estimated that in the middle of the performance, all the audience and actors would commit suicide or kill because of insanity.

   "As for the lines, don't worry, I exist on the stage as a ghost, and try not to have any intersection with the characters you play."

   Zhang Jue's expression is calm, it seems that temporarily adding a role is as simple as having breakfast.

   And emotions are contagious. When a person feels upset, other people around will also feel upset.

   And when you are full of confidence, other people seem to think this matter is not that difficult.

   This is why Yang Xue always thinks that Zhang Jue’s smile is magical—because Zhang Jue is always trustworthy. As long as he is there, you will feel that there is no problem that cannot be solved.

   At four o'clock in the afternoon, the performance of "Charlie's Revenge" officially kicked off.

   As the finale of the reporting performance, "Charlie's Revenge" was placed high hopes by the school.

   I have to say that this is also related to Zhang Shijia.

   The drama club he leads has won many domestic awards, and it is naturally the focus of publicity.

   After half a year of preparation, the setting of the stage is quite exquisite, which seems to draw people to medieval Europe all at once.

  According to the agreement, at the moment the curtain opened, the MTF technicians who had been on standby outside the school intercepted the external live video stream through technical means.

   Among those present, only Leshan and Yang Xue knew this.

   A staff member said something in Principal Bai's ear, and Principal Bai was so angry that he patted the table.

   Yang Xue heard the words "eating shit", "solving" and "getting out".

   However, the problem caused by the MTF technicians is that these people who eat in the school can be compared. They do not take the initiative to lift the restrictions, and no one wants to transmit the video signal.

   She shook her head and turned her gaze back to the main stage.

   At this time, the first act of the play has begun, and the usurper Zaluo is feasting the officials at the coronation ceremony.

  Yang Xue is attentive, seeming to be looking for something.

   "Miss Yang seems to be a little nervous."

   Le Shan watched the performance on the stage without squinting, and said with a smile.

   is different from Zhang Jue's awkward smile, Yang Xue always feels that Leshan's smile seems to have warmth, just like the brother next door, he seems to be able to see through people's hearts and always know what you are thinking.

   Leshan is right, Yang Xue is indeed a little nervous.

   scp-701 needs to be recovered, the confidentiality authority is not high, Yang Xue has read the relevant information.

   The reason why all people watching and performing this script are insane is all because of the appearance of the mysterious character scp-701-1 (the Hanged King, that is, the hanged king in the play).

   And Zhang Jue’s role today is him!

Unlike the riots caused by the audience, once the Hanged King appears, all the characters on the stage will be hanged by the sling that appeared out of thin air-just like the death of the Hanged King~www.novelmt.com~ Yang Xue is a scientist and a researcher. , But she always feels that Zhang Jue’s role today is somewhat unlucky.

  Even if he plays a servant, a groom, or a humble guard, why should he play the hanged king?

   Seeming through Yang Xue's thoughts, Leshan smiled.

   "Ms. Yang Xue, I think you should trust Consultant Zhang more than I do."

   Leshan meant something, Yang Xue clenched a fist slightly.

   Indeed, in this world, no one knows Zhang Jue better and trusts Zhang Jue more, because they have experienced countless dangers together.

   But, what about the foundation?

   The Foundation seems to know a lot more than her.

   Yang Xue looked at Leshan and asked a question she shouldn't have asked.

   "Can you tell me why the foundation trusts Zhang Jue so much?"

   This matter has bothered her for a long time. For a parallel world invader, the Foundation has not contained it, but has given him extremely high authority and great freedom of action.

   Just like this incident, this is not normal at all, and it does not conform to the Foundation's style of acting at all.

   Le Shan tilted his head, his eyes were always smiling.

   He glanced at Yang Xue, then turned his gaze to the stage, seeming to enjoy the performance of the actors.

   Principles to Know.

   Working in the foundation for so many years, Yang Xue certainly knows this thing. She sighed, knowing that she might never get the answer to the question.

   Just when she was about to give up, Leshan's gentle voice came.

   "Dr. Yang, if this incident can be resolved satisfactorily, I will tell you."
