Chapter 53: An Unexpected Guest

"Say, what's his name anyway?" In the dark cabin, Yang Xue was tied to a chair. Her arms were taped with a belt as if she was a mentally ill patient. A man with a black hood held a leather whip in his hand and stood in front of her.

"Dr. Yang. How about you tell me the name of that person, then I will let you go?" The interrogator asked her.

"Keep dreaming!" Yang Xue said, "I won't tell you anything even if it costs my life!"

"What a boring line. Stop watching those useless dramas. I can't just let you die easily." The interrogator sneered and pressed the remote control switch in his hand. An electric current passed through Yang Xue's body.

Yang Xue's body was shaking uncontrollably, so painful that she was about to die. She gripped the armrests of the chair, her fingertips began to turn white, her sweat had soaked her hair, but she did not make a sound from the beginning to the end.

"Heh, I'm surprised you can still talk." The interrogator increased the voltage, "But I don't think you can recover from this."

"Agh!"

Yang Xue made a painful sound in her throat, the interrogator laughed wildly, "Have you changed your mind? Come on, just say it. As long as you say the name of that person, I will let you go immediately."

"I won'tsay..." The shock increased time by time. Yang Xue's was at her limit, but she never gave up.

After another half a minute, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out. The interrogator hurriedly pressed the stop button and removed the electrode pieces attached to Yang Xue's body one by one. If it continues like this, she will really die.

He put Yang Xue on his back and looked like he wanted to take her out for medical treatment. Just at that moment. She pulled out a knife from her hand and placed it on his neck. The interrogator was shocked.

Yang Xue's weak voice can be heard faintly, "I...won..."

Seeing that Yang Xue was still conscious, the interrogator was surprised, shook his head, and put Yang Xue back on the chair. Then he took the hood off, and surprisingly, It was Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue looked at Yang Xue, who was already very weak, and sighed, "Why didn't you just give up?"

Yang Xue was catching her breath. The attack she had just done had taken all of her strength.

She said word by word, "I, I said. I wanted to become... strong... I don't want... to become a burden to you..."

What a stubborn person. Zhang Jue no longer knew what to say about her.

In order to train her willpower, she had taken the initiative to ask Zhang Jue to interrogate her in the same way he treated prisoners. In the past few days, she had survived waterboarding, starvation, and this time, electrocution. Zhang Jue had tried everything he could to get her to surrender.

Zhang Jue did not doubt that even if he had to burn her alive, Yang Xue would have been able to endure it. It had to be said that in terms of enduring pain, at some point, men might not be as good as women - especially persistent women.

In a way, Zhang Jue thought his life would be peaceful for a while, but things did not go as planned. On this day, Site-14 had an unexpected guest. After being personally welcomed by Site Director Huang, he called Zhang Jue to the lounge.

Zhang Jue pushed the door and saw a white, slim European man.

When he saw Zhang Jue, he smiled and extended his hand, "Hello, Advisor Zhang. My name is Hael, and I'm from Site-17."

Good Chinese. Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders and extended his hand to shake his. A bad feeling lingered in his heart.

A few people took their seats. Hael continued the conversation he had just had with Huang Xingwen.

"Site Director Huang, the purpose of my coming to the CN Branch this time is to ask Advisor Zhang to come with me to Site-17. We need his help, and I don't know if it's convenient."

"Well..." Huang Xingwen paused and did not answer directly, but looked at Zhang Jue and asked what he meant.

Zhang Jue was a Special Advisor, only a level lower than the O5 Council, and even if Huang Xingwen wanted to do him a favor, he couldn't command him.

"I don't want to go." Zhang Jue refused without even thinking about it.

He always felt that there was a trap waiting for him. Hael was slightly stunned, not expecting Zhang Jue to refuse it simply.

"Advisor Zhang, as a member of the SCP Foundation. It is only right that we help each other."

Zhang Jue spread his hands, "It's not that I don't want to help you guys or anything. It's just that I'm very busy right now, eating, sleeping, and playing cards every day. Comforting the young hearts of the injured women at this site, I don't have time to travel around. "

Hael argued, "Advisor Zhang, how can you be so-"

"Stop!" Zhang Jue cut his sentence, "How I work is my business, and it's none of your business how should I work. Now, you have five seconds to convince me why I should help you. Otherwise, I'm going to the toilet. Five, four-"

Zhang Jue began to count. Hael froze on the spot, completely unable to adapt to Zhang Jue's style.

"Three, two-"

Just as Zhang Jue was about to count to one, Hael hurriedly shouted, "SCP-053 says she wants to see you!"

"What did you say?" Zhang Jue frowned. His face turned serious.

Seeing that he was finally not counting down, Hael took a deep breath and said, "SCP-053, The Young Girl. She wanted to see you."
