I’m In Charge of SCP

,

As far as the eye can see, there is a piece of green water and green mountains.

Zhang Jue didn't know why he came to such a place all of a sudden after stabbing Du Luke in the heart.

Surrounded by birds and flowers, and a brook gurgling, there is no sense of danger.

A butterfly flew by before Zhang Jue stretched out his hand, and the butterfly landed on his fingertips.

If Yang Xue was here, she would definitely like it very much.

But Zhang Jue would only feel bored.

I don't know who created this place.

Zhang Jue walked all the way along the stone steps, and saw a thatched house by the stream halfway up the mountain.

In front of the thatched hut, there is a lawn on which a man with white beard and white hair is meditating, covered with birds, as if he is a tree.

If it weren't for this white-haired old man wearing a medieval mage's robe, Zhang Jue would have thought that some Taoist master was living in seclusion here.

"I said, can a magician practice like this?" Zhang Jue asked.

The white-bearded and white-haired old man opened his eyes, smiled, and said slowly, "In the final analysis, magicians also use the power of nature."

His voice is ethereal, and one can tell that it is not ordinary.

As soon as he raised his hand, a stone appeared in front of Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue sat on the rock and looked the old man up and down: "Old man, who are you?"

The old man said: "I am a magician, you can call me Merlin."

really.

When seeing him for the first time, Zhang Jue had already guessed the identity of the other party.

It's just that I didn't expect to see him at this time.

The wizard Du Luke claims to be immortal, others cannot kill him, but Zhang Jue may be able to.

And Merlin actually stepped in at this most critical moment, making Zhang Jue doubt his intentions.

Legend has it that Merlin has surpassed the level of a magister,

Evolve into a grand magister or a higher level holy magister. It is the highest height that human beings can reach below the gods by relying on their own flesh.

Zhang Jue did not act rashly, but planned to listen to what he had to say first.

He asked: "Student Merlin, haven't you been dead for thousands of years? Why did you appear when I was about to kill Du Luke? You must not be pretending to be him now."

Merlin smiled: "I'm indeed dead, and now I'm just a little bit of consciousness remaining in Duruk's body. What I'm waiting for is the moment when you kill him."

"We?" Zhang Jue noticed his choice of words.

"Yes, you." Merlin said, "For more than a thousand years, there have been three people who have the ability to kill him, and you are one of them."

"Wow." Zhang Jue opened his mouth, trying to understand something, and sneered, "No wonder it is said that Duruk is immortal. It turned out that the people who killed him all came here. You stopped."

"Yes." Merlin nodded. "I cast a forbidden spell on his body to keep part of my consciousness here. As long as his life is threatened, I will automatically bring you here."

Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows: "If what I expected is correct, although you can pull our consciousness into this space, you should not be able to control our physical body, so I am a little curious, how did you persuade the first few people to give up?" The one who killed Duruk."

Merlin suddenly looked a little lonely: "I didn't convince them, I just told them a story."

"Stop." Hearing this, Zhang Jue quickly waved his hand, "I've heard enough stories, I don't have time to listen to your ramblings, please use the shortest few words to explain the story of Du Luke. situation, otherwise I will leave here immediately and cut him into 38,000 pieces in reality—"

Probably no one had ever talked to Merlin like this before, he was slightly taken aback, then smiled wryly.

"Okay, then I'll just say one thing——Duke, he's a good man, and all the history of his evil deeds are all fabricated by me."

"oh?"

Mei Lin's words successfully aroused Zhang Jue's interest.

He said just now that he didn't want to hear the story, but now he suddenly became curious.

With his legs crossed on the rock, he hooked his fingers: "Tell me in detail."

Merlin's face was full of guilt, and he spoke again after a long time.

"Druke is proficient in dark magic, it's true, but he never used dark magic to do anything harmful to humans. On the contrary, he has prevented many wars."

Zhang Jue snorted, "So why do you fabricate history?"

"Of course there are reasons to do so."

Merlin sighed.

"At that time, he and I awakened to become a magister at the same time. Since then, we can see some things that humans cannot see."

"We fought those things, some of which could be easily defeated, but some of them cost us some trouble."

"Finally, we found it."

"It?" Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows.

He had heard the pronoun more than once.

Merlin said: "Because we don't know what 'it' is, we have fought against it for many years, but we know that those who never know its true nature are just a medium for its existence. It is very strong, and Duru and I Ke was almost cornered, and we mobilized almost all the magicians to deal with it together, but it became stronger and stronger, and later, we finally realized the source of its power."

Zhang Jue tilted his head: "What is it?"

"It's people's understanding of it." Merlin said, "When Duke and I first discovered it, it was only one step stronger than the two of us, but when we gathered all the magicians to declare war on it, it has become invincible exist."

"Wait a minute, let me think about it." Zhang Jue squeezed his chin, "You said that its power comes from cognition, and the more people know its existence, the stronger it will be, then if you put all the people who know it Kill them all, won't it become a weak chicken again?"

Merlin fell silent.

"You really did that, didn't you?" Zhang Jue laughed.

"Yes." Merlin sighed again, "Druke...is smarter and more courageous than me. He put forward this hypothesis and put it into practice. He used dark magic, and he knew what he knew at the time. Kill all the magicians in the world."

Zhang Jue said thoughtfully: "That's why later history described Du Luke as a heinous villain."

"Yes, we...have to."

Zhang Jue asked again: "What about 'it'? After killing all the magicians who knew about it, although its power has been weakened, it should still be impossible for you to completely eliminate it."

"Yes, so Duruk... at the price of his own soul, sealed that thing in his body, and I suppressed his body under Kazitala Mountain, and part of my consciousness Store it in his body in case of a rainy day."

...

Having said that, the ins and outs of the whole matter already have a clear context.

Brothers Merlin and Du Luke told a big lie, and even falsified the history, just to seal that "it".

Duruk who has lost his soul is no longer Duruk, he is just a puppet—or to be precise, it is more like a container, storing the resentment of 'it'.

'It' in Duruk's body is at most the strength of a magister. Although it is still powerful, it is already the limit of what the two brothers can do.

And all people's love and hate will be reflected on Du Luke, and no one will realize the existence of "it".

It's a good strategy to kill birds with one stone.

But it's a pity that Duruk, a hero who sold his soul for the sake of mankind, eventually became the object of scolding by thousands of people because he killed those magicians who knew about it.

Mei Lin's words also solved one of Zhang Jue's doubts.

When he first came to the magic school, he had a dream about a very powerful existence.

When Zhang Jue saw Duruke, he felt a little strange, because Duruke's strength was not enough to scare him.

Thinking about it now, what he dreamed of should be the 'it' that Merlin said.

So here comes the question, what exactly is this 'it'.

The two brothers Merlin Duruk and the person who built 087 chose to seal it underground at the same time.

According to Merlin's judgment, the power of 'it' comes from human cognition, and it is very powerful.

In Zhang Jue's impression, there was only one thing that fit this description - the Phase Screamer.

In the documents that Zhang Jue had seen, the Phase Screamer was considered to be non-existence beyond existence.

It is not any entity, but true nothingness.

It hates what exists, so it sends out a scream that tears the soul, and takes revenge on the existing universe, space-time and dimension and the life in it.

Phase Screamers come in many different forms, depending on how they choose to manifest - such as Issippy-2528, Issippy-3930, or even Issipy-000.

These manifestations have little effect on the Phase Screamer itself, but do affect its appearance and strength.

Shape Screamers' power is based on perception, and the more people observe and know about Shape Screamers, the stronger they become.

When a civilization grows strong enough, people will start noticing the Screamer, and the Screamer will kill those watching, and the entire civilization will be reduced to ruins.

This has happened at least twice, once with an alien race (Aisipee-1980) and once with humans themselves (Aisipee-1795).

No matter how strong Zhang Jue was, he couldn't break away from the category of "human".

There is no good way to deal with such mysterious and mysterious things.

Fortunately, the materialized entity of the Phase Screamer has been sealed in the body by Duruke, otherwise it would definitely be another fierce battle.

After figuring this out, Zhang Jue knew why those people gave up killing Duruk.

If 'it' is released, human beings will definitely usher in another bloodbath.

See Zhang Jue lost in thought.

Merlin didn't interrupt him either, but waited quietly.

Until Zhang Jue sighed.

"Consultant Zhang, you seem to know about 'it'?"

Zhang Jue didn't answer his question, but asked in surprise, "You know me?"

Merlin nodded: "I'm in Duruk's body, and I can sense what's happening around the magic school."

It turned out to be like this.

Zhang Jue said: "I only have a rough idea of ​​'it'. If you want to use my hands to destroy it, I'm afraid it won't work."

Merlin was silent for a moment, and also accepted this reality.

It's powerful, no one knows better than the two brothers?

After everything is explained, there is a very real problem.

Zhang Jue looked at Merlin and asked, "What should Du Luke do?"

Merlin said: "Consultant Zhang, your long knife is very powerful and has already caused great trauma to Duruk's body. I just used a space-time magic to temporarily seal the three of you. After a while, the magic will be released. As long as you put him back on the mountain behind the school, I will suppress him at the bottom of the mountain again."

"Oh, it's easy." Zhang Jue had been here for a long time, and he yawned, "If there is nothing else, then I'll go back."

Zhang Jue was about to leave, but Mei Lin stretched out his hand to stop him: "Consultant Zhang, please wait a moment."

Merlin leaned on crutches and walked slowly in front of Zhang Jue.

"Consultant Zhang is not from the magic school, not even a magician, but I know that if there is no consultant Zhang today, many teachers and students will die under Duruk's black magic. Here, I represent them, thank you Consultant Zhang came to help."

Meilin said, and bowed deeply to Zhang Jue.

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Jue hurried forward to support the old man.

Just kidding, this great magister is more than a thousand years old, and he did this for the sake of all mankind. He saluted himself, probably because he wanted to shorten his life.

Moreover, Zhang Jue has always disliked this kind of verbal praise. If you really want to express your gratitude, you should come here for some benefits.

Seemingly hearing Zhang Jue's voice, Merlin hesitated for a moment, then lifted the crutch in his hand.

After the ordinary crutch was held in his hand, it instantly became longer and turned into a purple-gold staff.

There is a light blue gem on the top of the staff, exuding dazzling light.

"Consultant Zhang, this purple gold rod has been with me for more than a thousand years, and now I give it to you, hoping that it can be useful to you."

Seeing the magic staff in Merlin's hand, Zhang Jue's eyes were shining, not to mention anything else, as long as the sapphire is removed, it can be sold for a lot of money.

But a gentleman does not take what others like, Zhang Jue swallowed: "Old man, you don't have to be so polite, we are all friends, this staff has been with you for so many years, I take it away, it's not good, besides, I don't want to be so polite." It won't work."

Merlin's expression was a little sad: "I don't need it anymore here, and I'm sure it will be very happy if it can follow its new owner—as for how to use it, Consultant Zhang doesn't have to worry, this staff follows me. For many years, I have already had spirituality, which can absorb the magic power between heaven and earth on its own, and it can instantly cast all magic below the magic spell, or use a forbidden spell once, and Consultant Zhang can activate it as long as he recites the spell correctly."

A staff is a magician's best friend, and Merlin gave his staff to Zhang Jue, which can be said to have cost a fortune.

According to Merlin, even ordinary people can use this staff to cast a powerful forbidden spell. Although the cooling time may be very long, it can definitely be called a divine weapon.

If Zhang Jue accepts this gift, then he will have to take care of anything in the magic school in the future.

This is something that is self-evident on both sides.

Zhang Jue's brains turned sharply, evaluating the pros and cons.

Regardless of which aspect is considered, this seems to be a sure-fire deal.

He thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Zhang Jue stretched out his hands, and took the purple-gold staff from Mei Lin.

The staff is very light in hand and seems to have no weight.

It turned a few times in Zhang Jue's hands, as if it was alive.

Zhang Jue could even feel the sadness emanating from it.

It is saying goodbye to its old master.

Merlin looked at his old friend who had been with him for many years, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, Consultant Zhang, it's getting late, I'll take you back."

Zhang Jue took one last look at the old man, nodded, and felt that his consciousness had finally returned to his body.

Although he talked with Grand Magister Merlin for an hour.

But to others, he and Dunlop Duruk disappeared in the sky for a moment, and then returned to sight again.

Principal Alfred blinked, as if to confirm whether he was wrong.

Although Dunlop was in it, he didn't realize that he had been frozen by space-time magic.

It was a very long time before he realized this.

Time goes back to this moment.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Jue stabbed Du Luke's heart with a knife.

"Forehead--"

The so-called immortal wizard felt the vitality in his body slowly passing away, and looked at Zhang Jue in disbelief.

"excuse me."

In order not to really kill him, Zhang Jue quickly pulled the knife out of his body, and then kicked him.

Dunlop's Forbidden Curse Light Shackles has also reached its limit.

Duruk fell from the sky to the ground, making a big hole on the ground with a bang.

Zhang Jue's stab wounded him very badly, and he lay in the pit, unable to move.

Zhang Jue and Dunlop also descended from the sky, looking down at him.

"What should I do?" Zhang Jue asked first.

Dunlop thought for a while: "According to the records in the school journal, Duruk is immortal. We can't kill him, we can only seal him up again."

The so-called school chronicle was probably written by Mei Lin on purpose, which made Zhang Jue less verbal.

They came to the mountain behind the school.

The huge chasm from which Duruk escaped was still there.

The two placed Duruk's body on the edge of the crack.

Dunlop stuck his staff on the ground, chanted a spell, and prepared to cast a spell.

"Holy power, please play the sleeping song, let the evil enter a deep sleep, let their souls be washed-magic-holy coffin!"

As soon as he finished chanting the spell, a crystal coffin appeared out of thin air, shining with a different kind of brilliance.

A beam of light shot out from the crystal coffin and shone on the body of the wizard Duruk.

Duruk slowly floated up and was moved into the crystal coffin bit by bit.

After his body was completely inside, the lid of the crystal coffin was closed with a bang.

The crystal coffin entered the mountain along the gap on the cliff and sank inside.

After a while, the huge gap on the rock slowly closed and finally closed together.

After doing this, Dunlop finally couldn't bear it any longer, half-knelt on the ground, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Facing Duruk, he used many high-level magics including forbidden spells consecutively. If he hadn't hung his breath, he might have lost his fighting power long ago.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Jue patted him on the shoulder.

Dunlop waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and then used a slow healing technique on himself.

After a while, Dunlop regained his ability to move. He barely stood up, and then cupped his hands at Zhang Jue.

"Thank you, Consultant Zhang, for your great help. If it wasn't for your help, I'm afraid I'd have to pay a higher price to defeat Du Luke. On behalf of the teacher, I promise you that the magic school and the magician's association must be very grateful."

Zhang Jue had already benefited from Mei Lin, so he waved his hand generously at this moment: "Hey, dude Dunlop, don't you get offended by this? I, Zhang Jue, am anxious, righteous and selfless. When we see injustice, we draw our swords to help. Then It’s due, so what can I say to thank you—just give me something you don’t want, I don’t mind it.”

Zhang Jue helped Dunlop, and the two walked back to the school from the back mountain.

Seeing them returning safely, Principal Alfred heaved a sigh of relief.

All the teachers and students looked at them with awe in their eyes, and what they thought in their hearts was this sentence: "There is no such thing as a quiet time, but it is because someone is carrying a heavy burden."

They didn't know who the black-robed mage was, nor did they know how dangerous a scene they had just experienced, but they knew that Zhang Jue and Dunlop were protecting their safety with their lives.

Under the leadership of the teacher, a group of students bowed deeply to the two of them.

The way everyone looked at Zhang Jue had completely changed.

I have to admit that in this era and in this world, strength is always a sharp weapon to conquer others, whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Earl Jennings and General Lu Kafu also rushed over from the VIP lounge.

Seeing Zhang Jue and Dunlop, they couldn't help but praise them too.

"Dunlop is worthy of being a role model for magicians, and Consultant Zhang is also well-deserved. The young people nowadays really make us old guys feel ashamed."

Zhang Jue laughed: "It's impossible for people to refuse to accept old age, not to mention you, I am the same - I was able to pee ten feet against the wind back then, but now I can't, at most I can nod my head."

...

Such a big incident happened in the magic school, and people from all sides sent people to inquire about the situation. Fortunately, the crisis has been resolved, and Principal Alfred thanked them one by one.

After an afternoon of recuperation, after dinner, in the auditorium inside the magic school, the graduation ceremony that was supposed to be held in April began again.

After the host stepped down, Zhang Jue stepped onto the podium for the third time today.

Different from the previous two times, this time, he was greeted with thunderous applause.

Zhang Jue's reputation in the hearts of the students and teachers of the magic school, from hatred at the beginning, to friendliness later, and now, has turned into admiration.

He single-handedly changed their perception of Muggles.

From then on, although these students still referred to those who could not use magic as Muggles, it was more of a joke than contempt.

After all, Zhang Jue, a Muggle, saved all of their lives.

"There is more than magic in this world."

Zhang Jue started his speech.

"The world is so big, you should go out and have a look."
