I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 402: Choice

Just finished coding, please wait a moment, I will correct typos

On August 15, 2223, the weather was overcast.

The headquarters of the Bureau of Abnormal Biology ushered in a heavyweight.

She has attracted everyone's attention since she first entered the gate, not only because of the powerful aura on her body, but even the usually domineering special adviser Zhang Jue can only follow behind her.

Although she was only a child, everyone subconsciously avoided her gaze, and no one dared to look at her.

It was like a tiger returning to its territory.

Escorted by Consultant Zhang, she went all the way to the headquarters building.

Those who can work in the headquarters of the Administration are not fools. Thinking of the rumors a while ago, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and guessed the identity of this little girl.

number one.

She didn't die!

She turned out to be a child!

The other eleven Lingwu were already waiting for her in the conference room.

After glancing at the other eleven colleagues, No. 1 went straight to the main seat, sat down, and did his part.

As soon as she sat down, No. 12 started laughing.

"Big sister, is this your real body? It's so cool. Let's play flying chess together later."

Number One glared at him, and Number Twelve immediately shut his mouth.

He didn't want to shut down countless flying chess factories all over the world just because of his words.

Number one looked around at the crowd and spoke slowly.

"There is one thing I need to explain to everyone. On the 11th, the plan was to sabotage an important project of the Administration, and was shot dead on the spot by special advisor Zhang Jue."

She announced such a big news just after her return, and the other eleven Lingwu glanced at each other.

No wonder No. 11 has been missing for three days. It turned out that he was killed by Zhang Jue.

No matter what No. 11's position is, when they heard that he had been killed by Zhang Jue, everyone's expressions were not very good.

No. 7 questioned, "You said No. 11 intends to sabotage the project. Is there any evidence? It's unreasonable to kill without asking."

"Evidence?" No. 1 said coldly, "I saw his invasion process with my own eyes, and now his body is buried next to that project, is that enough?"

After she finished speaking, Number Seven stopped talking.

No. 8 was mature and solemn, and said: "Since No. 11 has betrayed the Administration, then his subordinates—"

"Suspend immediately and investigate strictly." Number 1 turned to Number 2, "Angelo is in charge of this matter. If an enemy is released, I will demote him."

No. 2 nodded, knowing that this was No. 1's way to appease everyone.

The reason why she didn't personally take charge of this matter was because she was afraid of letting others tell the truth.

"As for the work in charge of on the eleventh, it will be temporarily—"

Number one frowned, drew a long tone, and glanced at the other zeros present.

No. 12 was afraid that No. 1 would let him replace him, so he lowered his head and said, "You can't see me, you can't see me..."

No. 1 sighed, and said, "No. 8 will be in charge for the time being."

In fact, this position was originally reserved for Ning Suiyu, but the situation is different now.

Everyone thought that No. 1 was dead before, so Ning Suiyu, who was loyal to No. 1, was considered a non-party person. If she succeeded Zero Wu, no one would say anything.

But No. 11 has just been killed. If No. 1 promotes Ning Suiyu immediately, it may cause unnecessary misunderstanding and speculation.

So after some consideration, No. 1 decided to wrong Ning Suiyu.

Fortunately, Ning Suiyu is not the kind of person who is greedy for power.

After finishing several important matters, No. 1 was silent for a moment.

Then he looked at the eleven companions around him again.

She sighed.

"As different individuals, everyone has their own little thoughts. I can understand. As long as you don't do too much, I won't be too harsh. But now you have also seen that the disaster is only a little over a year away. I hope that everyone will put aside their grievances and accompany the Administration to overcome this difficulty."

"You must remember the promise you made when you joined the Administration, and you must always remember that we are members of the Abnormal Biology Administration, and we... are the last line of defense for mankind."

...

When No. 1 held a meeting with the other eleven zero-members, Zhang Jue had already arrived at a heavily guarded building next to him.

Holding the document with a personal seal of No. 1, he went all the way and rescued Leshan from the detention room.

The return of No. 1 is a part of Le Shui's whitewash.

Although his motives remain in doubt, he has been acquitted of killing Number One.

Number One also announced his death in front of everyone.

So the review of Leshan has become unnecessary.

Because Zhang Jue had warned those Lingwu in a very violent way, Leshan was not abused.

It was just because he hadn't seen the sun for a few days that his face was slightly pale.

When he heard the news of No. 1's return from Zhang Jue, he smiled with relief.

On the one hand, it was because the Administration finally had a backbone so that the chaos would not continue, and on the other hand, it was because Le Shui did not live up to his expectations and did not do things that would harm the Administration.

For him to be able to get out of prison smoothly, he has no extra thoughts.

The two sat on the steps, looking at the sky.

After a while, Ning Suiyu also came over.

It became a row of three people.

Zhang Jue laughed.

"How about it, you two, do you lament the impermanence of life and are afraid of dealing with these zeros?"

Ning Suiyu hugged her knees and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Jue laughed: "I just want to ask you what your plans are in the future. I advise you not to follow Lingwu. They will sell you at some point. How about mixing with me?"

Ning Suiyu shook her head: "I'll go back to the site."

Even if he can't be a zero-member, Ning Suiyu is more or less a station master.

And number one came back, although Ning Suiyu felt a little bit estranged in her heart, she was happy after all.

Le Shan smiled: "I might become a researcher again."

Le Shan has achieved this position bit by bit from a researcher, and if he returns to the starting point, he will not be too disappointed.

Anyway, being able to work in the Administration Bureau can contribute one's strength to mankind.

He can accept it anywhere.

"Foolish loyalty, really stupid loyalty!"

Although the answers of the two of them did not exceed Zhang Jue's expectations, Zhang Jue still had a look of resentment.

But there is no way, just like Eleventh said.

People are different, and everyone has their own choices.

...

If the return of the twelve zero-fives is to pull the Authority back from the edge of the cliff.

Then the return of No. 1 symbolizes that the Authority has completely returned to the right track from the crisis.

All of Le Shui's layouts and threads have all played their due role.

Not only did he pull out the nails of the lower-level staff, but he even brought out a traitorous Lingwu.

For the Bureau of Abnormal Biology, with the return of No. 1, the whole incident is considered to be completely over.

Le Shui's operation on the Authority was very painful, but it was also very effective.

It's well worth it to prepare for disaster a year from now.

I believe that under the leadership of No. 1, the Authority will soon regain control of the world's initiative.

...

Zhang Jue stayed at the administration headquarters for another two days.

A few minor incidents occurred during this period, which will be briefly explained here.

The first thing is that although the administration gave up the review of Leshan, but because his identity is too sensitive, he is no longer suitable for working in the senior management of the administration. Leshan voluntarily resigned and returned to his original site as a small researcher, which is consistent with his previous predictions.

The second thing is the commendation given to Zhang Jue by the Administration—even if it is symbolic.

Zhang Jue first saw through Krigins' conspiracy, protected the safety of site14 and site336, and then successfully stopped the shy man, and most importantly, he helped No. 1 and killed No. 11. Did not let him succeed.

Each of these three items is a great achievement.

But Zhang Jue's level is too high, and there is no room for promotion, but if he does not reward him, it seems unreasonable, so the Lingwu Council made the following decision after some discussion.

The first thing is to make Zhang Jue the deputy stationmaster of site14.

It doesn't make much sense for him to hold this deputy position anymore, everyone knows that it has long been his back garden.

Those staff members didn't even listen to the orders from the headquarters, everything was subject to Zhang Jue's orders.

The second point is to promote Yang Xue's status.

Yang Xue was previously the deputy director of the experiment at the headquarters of the Administration Bureau. The zero team promoted her rank to supervisor. Everyone's considerations are the same. She will not come to the headquarters anyway, so it doesn't matter if she has a reputation.

And the third point is the most affordable, and it is also what Zhang Jue has always been thinking about.

With the promotion of his rank, the headquarters has increased his treatment, and his basic salary has nearly doubled. Not only that, because of his outstanding performance in this incident, the management bureau has rewarded him with an additional set of real estate, which is located in Jiangzhou City center.

It can be said that among the three rewards, only the last one is of practical significance.

Although Zhang Jue was no longer short of money, it was all obtained by him through various means, and it was different from what was rewarded by the administration.

Before Zhang Jue left, he stayed at the headquarters of the Administration Bureau for two days. After making sure that everything was fine, he booked a return ticket.

Before leaving, Leshan found him.

In a few days, Le Shan will go to a remote site and work as an inconspicuous staff member, and his activities will be supervised by the Administration.

If there is no accident, the two will not meet again for a long time in the future.

The two had a long talk all night.

No one knew the content of the conversation, only Ning Suiyu saw that when Zhang Jue came out of Leshan's room the next day, his expression was not very good.

After bidding farewell to Leshan and Ning Suiyu, Zhang Jue embarked on the return journey.

Coincidentally, he ran into an old acquaintance at the airport—Angelo just finished his task and rushed back from outside.

The two looked at each other, Zhang Jue gave him a middle finger, and then boarded his own plane

From Switzerland to Jingzhou, and then from Jingzhou to Jiangzhou, Zhang Jue has traveled this route countless times.

Every time he set foot on the land of Jiangzhou, he felt a sense of relief.

Because it often means the end of an event.

Like a stretched rubber band, it finally got some breathing room.

But this time, it didn't.

Unlike the high spirits when he went to the headquarters, when he came back, his eyes were full of exhaustion.

After changing trains twice, it was already evening when we returned to site14.

Yang Xue, who got the news early, was standing at the gate, waiting for him.

Seeing him get off the car, he immediately greeted him.

But as soon as she got closer, she realized something was wrong with Zhang Jue.

"What's wrong?"

Regardless of the guards watching not far away, she took Zhang Jue's hand and asked softly.

Zhang Jue smiled, put her hand on her cheek and stroked it.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, get me something to eat."

Anyone who is familiar with Zhang Jue knows that he is naturally heartless and rarely shows such emotions.

Yang Xue was a little distressed, he didn't know how a trip to the headquarters would cause such a big change in him.

It was fine when I called two days ago.

But it was inconvenient to ask at this moment, so I could only hold his hand tightly and look at him, without saying anything.

After returning to the site, Yang Xue personally cooked a few side dishes for him. After Zhang Jue finished eating, he fell asleep not long after.

It made some employees who were planning to welcome him a little bit at a loss.

Huang Xingwen, who was waiting for the handover, waved his hand and said to the staff: "Everyone go back first, it's okay. Consultant Zhang may be a little tired, and he will be fine tomorrow."

Before leaving, he told Yang Xue to take good care of Zhang Jue, and the bureau couldn't do without him.

After sending everyone away, Yang Xue returned to Zhang Jue's office, looked at his slightly tired figure lying on the sofa, and sighed.

It seems that he has been fooling around all day long, but he doesn't know how much he has endured.

The next day, Zhang Jue woke up very early, opened his eyes, and saw his dormitory at the site.

He didn't even know when he came back.

He didn't drink, but he was a little out of sorts.

But at this time he has adjusted.

After washing up a bit, he went out.

Along the way, he met many of the site's employees.

Everyone greeted him warmly.

He also nodded in response.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the office, I met Yang Xue.

Yang Xue looked at him: "Are you okay?"

Zhang Jue hummed.

Yang Xue could still see that he was not in high spirits.

Zhang Jue said: "Call all the employees, let's have a meeting."

Yang Xue nodded.

After he comes back, the meeting is the first thing to do, because Zhang Jue has now been officially appointed by the management as the site14 station master.

Although he was exercising the power of the station master before, the people of country c still say that they are justified.

At the meeting, Zhang Jue only said a few words, but his interest was lacking.

After the meeting, Zhang Jue followed Huang Xingwen to the station master's office.

He had said long ago that after Zhang Jue took over, he would apply to the administration for early retirement.

Today may be the last time he sits in this position that belongs to the station master.

"Consultant Zhang, I have been in the Administration Bureau for so many years, and I am really reluctant to leave suddenly. I was thinking yesterday that I am two years younger than Station Master Yang. It seems too early to retire now. It's better to stay here and sweep the floor."

Zhang Jue sat on the sofa, staring at him directly, without speaking.

Huang Xingwen smiled.

"What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

Zhang Jue sighed: "Old Huang, the painter is dead, are you still planning to give up?"

...

Thanks to Qin Zhidaoer, a paratrooper and other bigwigs for their rewards.
