Chapter 192: Proof
Yang Xue put the gun against Zhang Jue's head. Her voice was cold, and no trace of any emotion.
"Don't move, or I'll shoot." Hearing that it was Yang Xue's voice, Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief as he turned around.
"Auntie, where have you been? You scared me."
However, Yang Xue looked at him warily as if she didn't know him and kept a certain distance from him. At the same time, the safety of the pistol was pressed.
"I'll say it again." She said, "Don't move, or I'll shoot." Yang Xue's eyes were ice-cold, and she looked at Zhang Jue as if the police had caught a thief on the spot.
Zhang Jue didn't know why she had become this way, as if she was a complete stranger to him.
"Dr. Yang, enough with the jokes." Zhang Jue laughed, "Even if I knocked you out without your consent, you don't have to do this to me. It's too much for me, you know."
Zhang Jue said this because he knew very well in his heart that Yang Xue was not a person who would make such a joke even in this situation.
Sure enough. After he said these words, Yang Xue looked at him with a more wary look instead of returning to normal.
"How do you know my surname is Yang? Who are you? Why are you here?"
Damn. Zhang Jue slapped his head. It seemed that Yang Xue had been affected, and she didn't seem to remember herself.
"Dr. Yang, I'm Zhang Jue." Zhang Jue said helplessly, "Special Advisor of the Foundation, Zhang Jue. You don't remember?"
"The Foundation has never had the position of a Special Advisor." Yang Xue retorted. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"Coincidentally, I was the first." Zhang Jue spread his hands, intending to guide her from another direction, "Dr. Yang, think carefully. I am Advisor Zhang Jue, and we came here together from Site-14 to accompany you in your investigation of your father's whereabouts."
Yang Xue's voice suddenly became a little shaky. "Can I ask, what exactly is our.... relationship?"
"Ha, so that's what you're asking about." Zhang Jue casually waved his hand, "I told you earlier, we are very good friends."
Zhang Jue deliberately put the accent on the word "very good". Yang Xue nodded her head, not knowing where to go. In fact, the reason why Yang Xue believed Zhang Jue so quickly was not just because of the details Zhang Jue said.
It was because since the first moment she had met Zhang Jue, she had inexplicably felt a sense of affinity for him. However, she had forgotten the information about Zhang Jue as a person. But the feeling that Zhang Jue brought her had formed her sense. Even though her mind had forgotten it, her body was still honest.
The two of them sat down. Zhang Jue told Yang Xue a little about how the two of them had arrived here. Although Yang Xue still hadn't let his guard down, he had basically believed Zhang Jue's words. The reason is that every detail that Zhang Jue said was very detailed. Even what they ate was clear.
When he heard that his father might still be alive, Yang Xue pursed his lips and could see that her heart was more or less excited.
After finishing what he encountered on his side, Zhang Jue asked, "What about you? I put you in the safety pod. How did you get out?"
Yang Xue shook her head, "I woke up in that room just now, and I have no recollection of what you said. But I have a dream. There was a man in uniform who carried me out of something."
Zhang Jue cupped his chin and nodded slowly. He spoke a moment later, "So, we probably have a few more tasks now."
"First, and most importantly. Figure out what the hell is going on here. If SCP-3125 is really making a comeback. We have to stop it, or humanity will end."
"Second, find the whereabouts of your father, Yang Wensong. Whether he's still alive or not, I have a hunch that he must be carrying many secrets."
"Third, if possible. Find the Gray, his daughter, and those researchers. They have not been missing for long. They may still be alive if we're lucky. There are only a few people left in this Antimemetics Division. We can't afford to lose now." Zhang Jue's thinking has always been clear.
After listening to his words, Yang Xue suddenly said, "I've already found them."
Zhang Jue "Hmm?" Zhang Jue said, "Found who?"
"The ones you mentioned, Gray and the researchers from those sites." Yang Xue said, "I've already found them. They're down there."
