Chapter 56: The Global Occult Coalition

GOC, or The Global Occult Coalition. It is a branch agency of the United Nations that consists of 108 Paranormal Organizations with the motto "Protecting people, whether they like it or not."

As an anomaly agency led by an international government organization, it differs most from the Foundation in its approach to those anomalous objects. If the Foundation's goal is relatively just to Secure, Contain and Protect. Then the GOC's goal is to destroy, destroy, and destroy.

They spare no effort to destroy all discovered anomalies, whether they are harmful to humanity or not. Because they are backed by the United Nations, they are richer and more militarized than the SCP Foundation, with very advanced conventional combat weapons.

I'm afraid the Foundation would be no match for them if they didn't use anomalous weaponry to engage in combat. But as we all know, the scary thing about the Foundation is that you never know how many tricks they had left.

The Foundation has several means of rebooting the world alone, unmatched by any other organization. Because the Foundation hosts so many anomalous objects, the GOC is aware of the Foundation's existence, and the relationship between the two is very tense. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

However, due to the common principle of protection and confidentiality, the two sides still cooperate from time to time, which can be said to be a love-hate situation. However, it must be admitted that the Foundation is still the most professional when it comes to handling anomalies.

Sometimes the GOC will cause irreparable consequences due to the mishandling of the anomalous objects, and then the Foundation will need to come out and take care of it. One of the most famous examples is SCP-1609 (The Remains of a Chair).

SCP-1609 was originally a chair that would teleport as soon as you wanted to sit down. It would teleport to another place. For an anomalous object, it was common and pretty safe. But the GOC didn't think about it, and they wanted to destroy it.

When they threw it to a wood chipper, it made SCP-1609 hurt, scared and angry. To the point, it fought back. SCP-1609 went from harmless to deadly in a matter of minutes because of the GOC, and it killed at least three members of the GOC. Of course, how many unknown ones is unclear.

The Foundation then took the chair and would not even use its teleportation ability to leave the site where it was contained, fearing that others would harm it. This incident was written as a textbook guide in the SCP Foundation's documentation, thus proving why the Foundation's approach was right, and the GOC was wrong.

So, when the GOC was mentioned, almost everyone in the Foundation looked dissatisfied because they were the "pros" in handling those anomalies. That's why when Harvey said things like "troublemaking buddies" and "crazy people who want to destroy all anomalous objects" Zhang Jue knew who he was talking about right away.

The fact that the GOC had come for help meant that things had gotten so bad that they were out of their control, and they had to ask for help from the Foundation. That's why Harvey said Zhang Jue wouldn't be able to see Shirley today.

After Zhang Jue and Harvey both took their seats, the man grunted, "Deputy Site Director, you guys came 'really quickly.'"

The tone was quite dissatisfied, and it looked like he knew Harvey. Deputy Site Director Harvey is originally a smiling tiger expert at hiding his true emotion, but this time he was angered because of that man's words.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't made such a big deal, the town wouldn't have been swamped by those group of reporters. Take a look at yourselves. You have so many advanced weapons. Even my grandmother could handle this type of situation herself."

"Only people from the Foundation will always rely on their grandmother."

"..."

The two of them were trash talking to each other, and Zhang Jue had a headache just listening to them from the sidelines. This was too childish. He could have cursed them out if they were just hanging together, but now was not the perfect time to do such things.

Zhang Jue slammed his fist on the table with a bang, "You two shut the fuck up. You, decayed stomach face, and you, stained beard, are not lover birds! If you dare to quarrel again, believe me, I'll tear your mouths and feed it to the fishes! I'm in a hurry to get back to my wife and kids!"

They were full of energy, but Zhang Jue was even more powerful than them. They were tough, but Zhang Jue was tougher than them.

The bearded man from the GOC was scolded and froze. It took him a long time to realize, and he asked Harvey, "Who is this guy?"

Harvey grunted, "His identity is classified. But what I can tell you is that, if he really meant that, I suggest you run away as far as you could. Before Foundation made an assumption about your guys' wrongdoings. Say it, what trouble you guys have caused again?"

The bearded man looked at Zhang Jue and snarked, not understanding why Harvey would be scornful about him asking about that young person.

He didn't bother to think about why. He just hummed softly, "We didn't do anything either. Just released a dragon from the underground, that's all."
