Chapter 180: The Forgotten Site

The door was opened. It seems that all interrogators adopt the same strategy for scenarios like this in case they can't handle it themselves. The new interrogator, who had distinctly different clothing than the one before, was probably the supervisor here.

He looked at Zhang Jue with a strange look in his eyes. "Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Zhang Jue, and I'm a Special Advisor for the SCP Foundation."

"I haven't heard of the SCP Foundation."

"It doesn't matter if you've never heard of the SCP Foundation. All you need to know is that we came here not to harm you but to help you solve your problems. I think that's enough information for you to know."

"We don't have any problems to solve."

"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang Jue said. He suddenly stands up. The shackles on his hands had long since been untied by him at some point.

The supervisor looked up at him and did not take any action, probably because he wanted to see what Zhang Jue really wanted.

"Hey, what should I call you?" Zhang Jue asked.

The supervisor stared at Zhang Jue for a few seconds before saying, "You can call me Gray."

"Well, Mr. Gray. I can see that you should be the supervisor here, so I'll break it to you why. I'm sure that you have a problem here. A serious one."

Zhang Jue paced his words, seemingly thinking of an entry point for his question. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"You have a total of three main buildings here, with a zigzagging structure filled with dozen floors or so. Surrounded by several slightly shorter podiums, that should be the staff dormitory and a cafeteria. Based on my observations along the way, you seem to have only a team of security personnel and a limited number of staff. I'm going to take an irresponsible guess and say that your current staff combined. So, Mr. Gray, don't you think that a team of twenty to thirty people working in a building complex of this size doesn't seem a bit weird?"

Without waiting for Mr. Gray to speak, Zhang Jue continued, "What is your identity? What is the purpose of your stay here? If you are not terrorists fleeing from the government, what are you doing in the middle of this vast desert? Mr. Gray, can you give me an explanation?"

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue and let him turn off the laptop. After all, countless experiences had told her that Zhang Jue's words were right. The two of them were talking as if no one was watching.

On the other side, the female researcher said to Gray, "Father, did you just believe their words?"

Gray kept his head bowed in contemplation, neither admitting nor denying. Zhang Jue's words had indeed spoken to his heart. For so long, he had had a sense of mission, and it was this sense of mission that still kept him here.

This building was huge, but the area they were using was only a tiny part of it. There are even some devices that they don't know how to operate it at all. What they were staying here for, and how long they would continue to stay here. He had no absolute certainty.

"Father? Father?" The female researcher tugged at his sleeve.

"Loris, let me show you something."

Gray pulled a small green thing out of his pocket, which looked like an ID. The cover of the document was very old and looked as if it was over ten years old. He flipped open the document, and the picture was of a young woman with a face that looked a lot like Loris.

The name field reads Alison Millie. Below that was some personal information and most importantly, on the end page of the document was a large circular logo with three letters written next to it - SCP.

Loris looked at him in surprise. "Father, what is this? Where did you find it?"

"I... I don't know." Gray's expression was slightly changed.

Yang Xue looked at the father and daughter and then looked at Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue knew what she wanted to ask and didn't care about the two father and daughter next to him. He said directly, "They should have been affected by something. If I'm right, you guys must have contained a very important SCP. Am I right, Supervisor Gray?"

"I don't remember." Gray took a long breath and finally faced the problem head-on, "All I know is that a voice told me not to look for it and don't go near it."

"I don't care about that." Zhang Jue waved his hand, "If this continues, not a single person at this site will survive. How about Supervisor Gray show us around?"
