Chapter 80: Dr. Bright

Three days later. Zhang Jue sat in front of Shirley's bed, and her gaze was dull. She had deep sunken eye sockets and a puffy face as if she was terminally ill. Shirley was lying on the bed, breathing steadily. But after an examination, she had entered a deep coma. Zhang Jue had already used various methods but was still unable to wake her up.

Thinking about Shirley's condition, Zhang Jue's heart twisted like a knife. There was a monster sealed inside her, and Shirley had to fight against it. After this slumber, she might never wake up.

Zhang Jue's fists were clenched, his nails almost pierced into his skin. The door to the holding room was opened, and Cain walked in. After the experiment, he had been allowed in and out of Shirley's containment room. He was also the only person Zhang Jue had been willing to see in the past two days.

"Shirley doesn't want to see you like this." Cain said, "I think her brother would have made her happy."

Zhang Jue didn't understand this, but once a person had fallen into certain emotions, it wasn't that easy to move on. Cain patted him on the shoulder, "Let's take a walk."

-----

Zhang Jue stepped out of Shirley's containment room for the first time in three days. Outside Site-17, the sun was shining, and the birds were singing. However, Zhang Jue was not in the mood. He washed his face and sat on the steps, staring blankly at the distant sky.

Those fellows who knew each other well knew what had happened recently, and none of them went over to disturb him.

"Hey, man, come to play cards?" A noisy voice rang out from overhead, which Zhang Jue did not heed.

"Hey, don't blank out over yourself. Come play cards with me!" Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Zhang Jue looked up listlessly and saw a monkey half-hanging from a tree, holding a deck of playing cards. Yes, a monkey was inviting him to play cards. If this were in his world, Zhang Jue would have thought it was some zookeeper's prank. But this is the SCP World, and anything could happen, especially when Zhang Jue saw the ruby pendant on the monkey's chest.

"You're Dr. Bright?" Zhang Jue asked.

Dr. Bright played with his tail, "It's just one failure. Who in the Foundation dares to say they've never had a failure? Besides, the little girl is still alive, so there is hope, right? Ah, if I remember correctly, there seems to be also a sleeping girl on this site. Why do all girls like to play the sleeping beauty act, hmm?"

Dr. Bright crackled a lot of words. He spoke very fast and didn't seem to be thinking at all about what he had just said. He was talking about everything that came to his mind. But Zhang Jue could hear that he was comforting himself.

Dr. Bright had come with good intentions, and Zhang Jue also knew that what Dr. Bright referred to as a "sleeping little girl", it was SCP-239. She was the very person at the heart of the chaos that led the four of the most famous Foundation doctors to fight over it.

This seemingly nonsensical, knowing every word he said lies a secret message. Zhang Jue quickly understood what he meant. Needless to say, that sleeping young girl was an extremely dangerous character, and having her wake up might not be a good thing.

Seeing that Zhang Jue seemed to have understood the implications of his words, Dr. Bright laughed and let out a strange "giggle". The researchers who passed by them looked at Zhang Jue with sympathy - he had just suffered a failed experiment, and now he was being mentally destroyed by Dr. Bright.

Seeing that Zhang Jue's mood had improved, Dr. Bright shook his head, "Young man, you should look ahead. Not like us, the old guys with an aura of decay that exudes all over our bodies despite tragically wanting to die but can't. Well, you continue what you're doing. I'm going to go work on my files. Those brats, they all wanted to go to Pandora's Box to meet SCP-105. If they get their way, I'll possess a female gorilla next time." Dr. Bright was walking further and further away as if he was talking to himself while still allowing Zhang Jue to hear a few keywords.

"Dr. Bright!" Zhang Jue called out to him, "Did you just say that SCP-105 is still in Pandora's Box?"

"Right." Dr. Bright nodded, seeing Zhang Jue's serious face. He asked, "What's wrong?"

From early in the morning, Zhang Jue knew that this SCP world he had crossed over to was slightly different in the timeline from those documents he had read. A lot of information the Foundation didn't have, and a lot of things didn't happen. To him, this was an advantage. He could stop things that hadn't happened yet.

Zhang Jue asked again, "Is SCP-076 still in Pandora's Box?" The fact that Able was serving in Pandora's Box was a secret of the Foundation, but Dr. Bright wasn't surprised that Zhang Jue knew about it.

However, he saw a bad feeling in Zhang Jue's eyes. "Yes, Able is still in Pandora's Box." Dr. Bright said, "They are now stationed at Area-25." Sure enough. Zhang Jue tightens his fist.

"Doctor, whatever method you use, please take me there as soon as possible. Before disaster strikes and we have to stop it. I hope it's not too late."
