Chapter 111: 3 Plans

Chapter 111: 3 Plans

Zhang Jue had been walking in the cave for a few hours, and so far, he hadn't encountered any danger, but the things he had encountered were quite bizarre and simply couldn't be explained by common sense. Of course, the cave itself was not a thing that could be explained.

Zhang Jue did not intend to stay too much here, nor did he regret leaving his food for Alice. He organized the exploration squad's bones side by side, bowed to them, and then continued on his way alone.

Normal people would usually feel their heart will inevitably drum or feel a little goosebumps when it comes to this situationscared because of this bizarre cave full of unknown threats. But that has been said countless times, and Zhang Jue grew up as a brave person.

After encountering all sorts of things that defied common sense, instead of flinching, he gradually became excited. The mysterious cave, the odd corpse, the Foundation's various failed operations, and even the Black Queen had come to intervene.

Everything was telling him that there must be a huge secret hidden inside. Zhang Jue is the kind of person that's hard to describe. Like a soft and hard object, an oil and a salt that acts the opposite most of the time completely.

If I had to say he had any weakness, it would be his curiosity. The more complex the puzzle is, the more bizarre the event is, the more he wants to get involved. Knowing that it is very dangerous, he is also willing to accept the risk. At this point, I'm afraid that things might have been too late. This is also the reason why he tried every possible way to trick Zhang Jue into coming here.

He only needs to hold a thread to build a bridge, push the boat. Zhang Jue himself will solve all the mysteries. But there's one thing he's afraid that he thought wrong. Once something falls into Zhang Jue's hands, he has to be ready in terms of power if he wants to snatch it from him.

Zhang Jue whistled and continued his sightseeing tour. He didn't have to go far this time before he heard footsteps coming from ahead. There were quite a few people, and the footsteps were very regular and disciplined, a footstep that sounds like someone who had trained in the military.

Just as he heard the other side's voice, the other side seemed to have noticed him as well. Both sides all stopped in place. There was darkness ahead, and no one was willing to take another step.

However, this time was different. Zhang Jue already had an initial guess in his heart who was on the other side. Although he didn't make a sound, he knocked on the wall with his flashlight.

"... -. --... --." (SCP)

He guessed that there would be someone who knew about his message, and a few seconds after he tapped on the wall, a voice came from the darkness not far away.

"SCP Mobile Task Force "Birds of Prey" Squad 1 Leader Klein, Number MTF-111631."

The other person heard him, and Zhang Jue responded, "SCP Foundation's Special Advisor Zhang Jue, Number SCP-X-0001."

After exchanging numbers, a figure appeared in the darkness, holding a flashlight and holding his hands high as he marched over to Zhang Jue.

Klein could see that Zhang Jue was hiding something from him, but we were all from the Foundation. He didn't want to escalate the situation so quickly and asked again, "Advisor Zhang, you've been in this cave longer than we have. Have you found anything else?"

Zhang Jue nodded and stated his deduction, "Here, time and space seem to be distorted. Their direction is not always forward, and the flow rate is not fixed. You are clearly the first squad to depart and arrive here in less than an hour. On the other hand, the second squad has been dead for more than ten years."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jue gave a slight beat as the puzzle pieces in his mind integrated, and he seemed to know what SCP is this cave was. Time and space were all distorted. If he was right, they should be within the interior of The Moebius Cave or SCP-1351.

----

To explain what kind of SCP-1351 (Moebius Cave) is, the first thing to know is that you should understand what a Moebius strip is.

Imagine we have a strip of paper of unlimited width and length of one centimeter. If we do not consider its thickness, then it has only two sides: the top and the bottom.

We put an ant on the strip of paper, and under normal circumstances, it can only walk on the "top". Imagine that we rotate one end of the strip 180 degrees and stick it together with the other end. Thus, we have a Moebius strip.

At this point, we then put the ant on the strip of paper. You can see that as long as the ant has been walking forward, it will be able to walk across the edge of the strip of paper without crossing the surface of the entire paper.

This is a fundamental characteristic of the Moebius strip. There is only one surface, but you can never go to the end. You can only go inside it. It will be an endless cycle.

A Moebius cave is similar in structure to a Moebius ring, except that the paper strip is two-dimensional (approximate), while the hole is three-dimensional. If the "two-dimensional" Moebius strip only distorts space, then both time and space are distorted in this "three-dimensional" Moebius cave.

In such a place, any kind of weird thing can happen. But Zhang Jue wasn't worried. Knowing where he was, he now had only three things to do.

The first was to extract the Foundation's information from Klein's mouth.

Second, according to the clues, decipher the secrets that existed in this hole.

Third, get out of this damn place.

Zhang Jue gave a heated smile. It was as easy as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.
