I’m In Charge of SCP

Wu, the leader of the city-state of Alacada, intends to have four chiefs, who are in charge of the four colors of the country.

They are the black leader who wears the face of pain.

A white chief who wears a face of diligence.

A yellow chief who wears a hideous face.

And the red chief who wears the face of pleasure.

Among them, the black leader is the most powerful and has followed the king for the longest time.

Unlike the other four chiefs, he has been reclusive, and almost no one has seen him make a move—everyone who has seen him has died.

His Majesty the King trusted him very much and gave him great power.

However, I don't know when, a rumor spread in the palace.

The black leader wants to rebel.

Said he was going to overthrow the king's rule.

Build your own regime.

The black leader didn't defend himself, and he didn't even send someone to find out who was spreading the rumors.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, but as it was passed on, the taste changed.

Sometimes, that's the way it is.

It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, once someone mentions it, it will become a seed, planted in people’s hearts, waiting for the right opportunity to germinate.

Every move of the black leader will be studied with a magnifying glass.

Why does he live in seclusion and devote himself to cultivation? For rebellion, of course.

Why did he train his guards to be strong and fearless? Of course it is for usurpation.

As the saying goes, people never care what the truth is, they only believe what they want to believe.

This time, the black leader let go of the two criminals who broke into the palace without His Majesty's permission, which finally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other two leaders.

It is also the first time that the matter about his attempt to seek power and usurp the throne has been brought to the table.

However, in the face of Chief Huang's questioning, Chief Hei said nothing.

Turn around and disappear into the darkness.

Leader Huang looked at the direction in which he disappeared and snorted.

The white leader sighed.

...

Zhang Jue and Prieter escaped from the black hole created by the black leader, and it took only a few minutes to arrive outside the walls of the palace.

Before the guards could react, the two of them fled.

After running for an unknown amount of time, they stopped after confirming that no one was chasing them, and sat on a step to rest.

Brother Feng Qingyang, I didn't see it. You really have a lot of skills. You have been dealing with Chief Bai for so long, but you are not injured at all.

Preet patted Zhang Jue on the shoulder and looked him up and down.

When they met for the first time in the underground trading field, he thought Zhang Jue was a speculator like him.

But I didn't expect to be a master.

In the underground trading field, fish and dragons are mixed, and there will always be some creatures without eyes that challenge the authority of the four chiefs.

But without exception, they were not killed in seconds.

Zhang Jue and Chief Bai were confrontational, blushing and heartbeating, and took the time to direct him to open the door.

It simply made Preet admiration.

It's pure luck, good luck.

Zhang Jue didn't dare to tell him that he only used 30% of his strength, otherwise the rat man would be so scared that he would pee on his head.

The four leaders here, Zhang Jue, have met three of them, and have roughly judged their strength.

Probably stronger than the four Sarkic saints, and almost the same as Ian who did not ascend to the gods.

Especially the black leader, he should be good at manipulating time and space and other skills, so he is not easy to deal with.

But he actually helped himself, which surprised Zhang Jue.

In his mind, there was no intersection between the two.

But now is not the time to think about these things, his first task is to find a way to meet the Hanged King, and then ask him for help to get out of here.

But what makes Zhang Jue depressed is that because their invasion just now was discovered, there are now many more guards patrolling the periphery of the palace.

The defense of the entire palace has been upgraded to one level, and it is no longer possible to fish in.

Have to think of other ways.

Anyway, they couldn't get in for a while, so Zhang Jue and Prieter retreated a certain distance to avoid being recognized by the patrolling soldiers.

The two returned to Zhang Jue's residence, rested for a while, and ate something.

Zhang Jue asked, Prit, other than that secret passage, is there any other way to sneak into that palace?

Prieter shook his head: Brother, I know you are very powerful, but that is the palace of His Majesty the King. Do you know His Majesty? That is a complete tyrant. It is said that the four chiefs together are not his opponents. This time we were discovered, recently I advise you not to have any other ideas, otherwise you won’t know how to die.”

After Praet spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, because he remembered that not long ago, the man with the wand had warned him to stay away from Zhang Jue, otherwise he would not know how to die.

The fact is exactly the same, he went into that palace no less than a hundred times to steal food, but was never discovered.

Just went in with this Feng Qingyang, and was caught by the white leader.

It's really back home.

But he didn't want to abandon Zhang Jue.

Because he thinks this person is more interesting than others.

If he was afraid of death, he would have returned to his own world long ago, why are he still here?

After listening to Preet's words, Zhang Jue nodded slowly, feeling a little regretful.

There are two worlds related to him now, one is about to encounter the end of the world, and the other is already at the end of the world, he has no time to hang out here.

If it doesn't work, you can only force your way in with strength.

But this is a bad idea.

I asked for help from others, and even wounded and killed the other party's subordinates, it was impossible to justify it.

Zhang Jue was thinking about how to meet the Hanged King with the least cost when he suddenly heard commotion outside.

Both he and Preet looked out of the window at the same time.

On the street below, there were many horse teams slowly walking towards them.

The cart behind the horse team was dangling, as if it was pulling a lot of goods.

Zhang Jue was guessing what they were doing when Preet suddenly slapped his paw.

Hey, man, don't you want to sneak into the palace again, here's your chance!

Zhang Jue looked at him, not knowing why.

...

After some popular science by Prieter, Zhang Jue found out that the cavalry below were teams from various countries who came to pay tribute.

The entire city-state of Alakata is very large, and the territory where the Hanged King is located is only one of them, and there are many dependent countries around it.

According to the previous agreement, the dependent country must pay tribute to the leading country every once in a while and donate a lot of treasures.

Because the Hanged King transformed Alakata into the Myriad Realms Exchange, so many creatures came here attracted by the name, which drove the development of other dependent countries.

At the beginning, everyone paid tribute according to the agreed share, but after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some grudges.

Obviously these treasures are all earned by themselves, why do they have to pay tribute to the king who has never met?

Several older kings colluded together, and the time between paying tribute became longer and longer.

Fortunately, everyone was afraid of the king's terrifying strength, so on the surface they were more respectful.

According to the rules, the lords of the dependent countries should send the treasures to the palace, choose the best one, and present it to His Majesty the King with their own hands to show their loyalty.

For Zhang Jue, this is a golden opportunity.

As long as he can sneak into the tribute team, there is a high probability of seeing the Hanged King.

It's a good idea.

Zhang Jue immediately turned over and went downstairs, while Prieter turned into a little mouse and hid in his hair.

In fact, Zhang Jue didn't need to find the other party by himself.

Because there were too many people in the horse team, the hotels on the whole street were booked by them.

The empty rooms next door to Zhang Jue were full of people.

Zhang Jue walked around, probably familiar with their distribution, and then returned to the room again, listening to the movement outside, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

There was a loud noise, and Zhang Jue looked up out of the window.

There seemed to be a fight on the street outside.

A scaled monster was wrestling with a suspended stone.

If the stone hadn't suddenly sprouted wings, Zhang Jue wouldn't even know that it was a living creature.

After listening for a while, I probably understood the ins and outs of the matter.

The scaled monster thought that the stone was just an ordinary stone, and kicked someone else.

Originally, an apology would be the end of the matter, but Shitou was also violent, and the two quickly developed from cursing into fighting.

Those who can come here to seek deals must have certain strength, otherwise they will not even be able to protect the goods.

And the strength of these two monsters is particularly strong.

Just started playing, already ready to enlarge the move.

Zhang Jue could even feel the strong murderous intent on both sides.

Compared with them, that octopus and cyclops are simply weak chickens.

Zhang Jue was about to see how people from other universes fought, when the lord of the dependent country who lived next door walked to the street and interrupted their duel.

The lord whispered a word to both parties, and the two persons looked at each other, and then went upstairs with the lord.

Both Zhang Jue and Preet were very curious about what the lord of the country had said to them, and the two sides actually made a truce.

Footsteps sounded, and in a blink of an eye, they had already gone upstairs and entered the next room.

Preet couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, turned into a little mouse, and said to Zhang Jue, I'll go and eavesdrop.

After he finished speaking, he ran out through the crack of the door.

Zhang Jue didn't even have time to stop him.

The two alien creatures just now are obviously very strong, so don't turn into a mouse to do it.

After a long time, the little mouse Preet got in through the crack of the door.

After turning back into a human form, he put his ear against the door to confirm that no one had noticed him, and he was relieved.

Seeing his cautious look, Zhang Jue smiled and said, Did you find anything?

Yes, there is a big discovery!

Preet picked up the water glass on the table and took a big gulp.

I heard that they seemed to be recruiting thugs.

Thugs? Zhang Jue was puzzled.

Yes, thugs. Pritt nodded, Some businessmen are afraid that their goods will be robbed, so they usually hire some people to protect them with a certain amount of revenge. They are called 'thugs' here.

This is understandable.

Everyone comes here from different planes to trade, and their strengths vary greatly.

If the goods are very valuable, you really need to find a bodyguard to protect them.

But there seems to be something wrong here.

Zhang Jue asked: Didn't they come to pay tribute to His Majesty the King? What are you going to do with the thugs? Are you afraid that someone will not be able to snatch them?

It's really strange. Prieter has been here for a long time, and he has seen the tribute paid by the dependent country two or three times.

But nothing can compare to this one.

Not only is there twice as much cargo as before, but there are also many more guards.

And they even solicited all the way, it seems that they have no intention of stopping.

They... don't want to rebel, right? Prieter suddenly felt a chill down his spine, instinctively feeling that something big was about to happen.

It's not impossible. Zhang Jue nodded, he didn't care about such things.

It has nothing to do with him under whose rule this city-state is. He just wants to leave here as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter whether it's returning to your own world or returning to the world of the Authority.

But if he could gain the favor of the Hanged King, the probability of success would be slightly higher.

After some thought, Zhang Jue decided to join the teams of these dependent countries and become their thugs.

After sneaking into the palace, try to find a way to meet the Hanged King.

But how to get the attention of the neighbors and let them invite me to join the team is another problem.

Zhang Jue thought for a while, then snapped his fingers: Yes!

He looked at Preet: You should be able to make it bigger or smaller at will.

Yeah, but no matter how I change, the weight remains the same, what's wrong?

It doesn't matter, as long as it looks bluffing.

Zhang Jue laughed and went out with Preet.

...

There is no sun in the sky of the Lost City of Alakata, only a constellation composed of a few unknown planets.

Without the sun, there would be no day and night, and there would be no three meals a day.

Most of the people here drink when they are thirsty and eat when they are hungry. There is no rule at all.

The vassal lord next door was eating when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside.

He subconsciously looked out, only to see a huge mouse suddenly appearing in his line of sight, looking at him from the hotel window.

The king was terrified.

He has seen many anomalous creatures,

But this was the first time I saw such a big mouse, its eyes were as high as his windows, and its body even filled the streets below.

He was about to call out to the guards on duty outside the door, but suddenly he heard a lazy voice from the street, and a strangely dressed man slowly walked towards the giant mouse.

A good dog doesn't get in the way, and a good mouse doesn't get in the way. You're too big. How much food do you have to eat? Get lost!

As he said that, he kicked the butt of the big mouse.

The Shuoshu screamed and screamed, as if it was in great pain, but in the next second, it gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.

And the strangely dressed man, with his hands in his pockets, didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

He took out a toothpick and put it in his mouth, displaying his guru demeanor.

I am Cao, this is a master.

The king's eyes widened immediately.

Guard, guard! Go and bring that man up for me! No, I'll go down myself!
