Chapter 179: What The Hell Is The SCP Foundation

Zhang Jue and Yang Xue both went all the way according to the signs left by the Foundation employee. After back-and-forth treks of nearly ten hours, they finally arrived in front of the target. There was a small waterfall, and inside the waterfall was a rock with a circle emitting light blue light on top of it.

According to Yang Xue, it's a teleportation spell. As for where they would be transported to after walking in, it was unknown.

Zhang Jue hugged his shoulders and looked left and right at the rock. "Dr. Yang, don't lie to me. If there is really such a thing as a teleportation spell, Why does the Foundation doesn't use it for the benefit of mankind? The next time I go somewhere on business, I don't have to sit on a plane for more than ten hours."

Yang Xue shook her head, "I have only seen it in my father's notes. This kind of teleportation inscription belongs to highly advanced technology. Even the tiny mass of objects transported to a certain distance would need a lot of energy. It's simply impossible to make it available to the public. The technology is still immature. One accident might cause to transport the user to an unexpected place. In general, the Foundation is prohibited from using it."

"Will teleport to unexpected places? Like what?"

"Other parallel universes."

"Wow. Then I can't go home."

"It's not like that's not a possibility."

"..."

Given the considerable uncertainty of this teleportation device. The two did not dare to touch it and began to look around for clues.

"Look! What is this?" Yang Xue suddenly shouted.

Zhang Jue walked over quickly. Yang Xue found a sign similar to the previous one on a rock not far from the waterfall. The only difference was that the engraving of this mark was old, probably carved a long time ago.

Zhang Jue touched the rock next to it with his hand and took out his dagger to try it on it again.

"The rocks are very hard. The weathering on this should be around a decade or two."

Yang Xue was silent for a long time and spoke, "This... seems to be my father's handwriting."

"Hmm?" Zhang Jue looked at her.

"When I was a child, I would often take my exam papers home for him to sign it. When he signed them, that check was curved like this."

"It seems that your father left from here. He went back to somewhere else."

With this discovery, the two returned to that teleportation spell once again.

Zhang Jue cupped his chin, "Is there any way to know where would this teleportation spell formation is connected to?"

Yang Xue shook her head, "There's only one thing for sure at the moment. This spell formation only has enough energy for one last use. Father and I said that the traces spinning inside the halo represent the number of transmissions, and now it only has one left."

Zhang Jue shrugged, "That means we have no other choice?"

Yang Xue nodded.

"Then let's go right in." Zhang Jue said.

Yang Xue looked at him, wanting to say something. But before she could say anything, Zhang Jue already knew what she was going to say, "Don't look at me with that gaze. It doesn't right for me. You don't have to feel like you're dragging me down or anything. After joining the Foundation, I've always encountered this kind of fuck-up. So, this is nothing."

...

The two of them came to stand in front of the teleportation stone. Yang Xue took a deep breath. She felt her heart thumping. After teleported, she would arrive at the place where her father had been gonewondering if he was okay. Was he still alive? Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Of course, perhaps this teleportation spell itself is a trap. Immediately after they teleported, they would be met with something. But no matter what, this time she had to go. Yang Xue secretly made up her mind.

She was still a little nervous. Suddenly, a warmth came from her hand. Zhang Jue holds her hand. Feeling the slightly rough fingers rubbing on her hand, Yang Xue felt her heart calming down.

"Dr. Yang, I have something I want to ask you." Speaking of this, Zhang Jue's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "If you can do it, say yes. If you can't, don't say yes, okay?"

"Mhm." Yang Xue nodded gently.

Although she didn't know exactly what Zhang Jue wanted to say, her heart beat faster. Zhang Jue took her hand, and the two of them took a step forward together. Just as their bodies were about to teleport, Zhang Jue finally spoke.

However, the security captain didn't seem to understand what he was talking about at all and frowned, "Oh, what the hell, arrest them!"

The security team immediately stepped forward and was about to grab Zhang Jue and Yang Xue. Zhang Jue felt strange. Even if the security captain thought the two of them were intruders, that was fine. But his attitude was as if he really didn't know what the SCP Foundation was.

Could it be that they were mistaken that this was not an SCP Foundation site at all but some secret base for terrorists?

This may be the case. But what about those signs?

Zhang Jue whispered in Yang Xue's ear. Yang Xue nodded, and then the two of them obediently tied their hands. On the way inside, Zhang Jue kept looking around. He found that the architectural style, the layout of the various facilities, and even the icons of the various signs were all identical to the Foundation.

It couldn't be said that it was very similar. It was simply identical. To say this is not a Foundation site was really hard to believe.

He looked at Yang Xue. Yang Xue also looked over at him almost simultaneously, also realizing it. But looking at the security captain's expression, it seems genuine that he probably really does not know what the SCP Foundation is.

This was too strange. They were escorted all the way inside and separated at a fork in the path. Before Zhang Jue could say anything, Yang Xue was the first to make a palm-down gesture to him. Signaling him to relax.

This chick seems to have really grown up. Zhang Jue laughed and stopped worrying about her. The security team members escorted Zhang Jue to a room, handcuffed his hands to a bench, and then left.

Looking at the situation, Zhang Jue didn't know that he was going to be interrogated again. But he didn't panic at all. He had a lot of experience in counter-interrogation no matter what world he was in. A man in a different kind of uniform walked in, looking like a leader of some sort.

He sat in his seat and looked at Zhang Jue.

"Name."

"Zhang Jue."

"Age."

"26."

"Home Address."

"No. 58, Huanhua Street, Jianghai City."

"Occupation."

"Special Advisor of the SCP Foundation."

"What?"

"SCP Foundation, haven't you heard of it?"

The interrogator showed an uncomprehending expression. Zhang Jue could finally confirm that no one here indeed knew the name SCP Foundation by observing his expression.

Zhang Jue suddenly laughed, "May I take the liberty to ask what you do here? My companion and I just got lost in the desert and wandered here. Why are you arresting and interrogating us? Are you al-Qaeda? Some Illegal armed forces?"

If Zhang Jue had asked such a question, he would have been shot in the head. But Zhang Jue dared to ask such a question because he had already determined that the other party wasn't going to do that. Have you ever seen a terrorist leader with such a good attitude?

The interrogator was obviously not a professional and was silenced by Zhang Jue's barrage of questions and subconsciously tried to argue before reacting to anything.

He slapped the table in annoyance, "Look clearly at your surrounding. Are you tired of living? Continue to answer my question, what exactly do you do? What kind of organization is this SCP Foundation you speak of?!"

"I don't know where this is, but I know very well that you are not police officers, and this is not a police station."

Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look, seemingly not intending to cooperate at all. Just as the interrogator was about to get angry, Zhang Jue yawned.

"Well, I'll explain it to you since you're interested. The so-called SCP Foundation is not the kind of organization that you think of as doing random stuff. They are an independent organization consisting of various countries. Their goal is to contain anomalies, strange phenomena, and individuals with supernatural abilities in the world to prevent them from harming humanity. We aim to Secure, Contain, and Protect. We call ourselves the SCP Foundation. "

Zhang Jue spoke slowly as he carefully observed the interrogator's expression. Sure enough, when he said the word "anomalies", the interrogator's body gave a slight tremor.

When Zhang Jue finished, he looked at Zhang Jue with an unspoken look. The interrogator's reaction was completely unexpected. Zhang Jue could almost confirm that his suspicions were correct.

"This SCP Foundation that you speak of sounded so great about it." He narrowed his eyes, and a strange glow was released from his eyes, "And you're saying that you came from them?"
