I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 41 Reason

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the art performance officially began.

It was a great event for the students and alumni of Jiangzhou University.

But for Zhang Jue, this was nothing short of a disaster.

When encountering this kind of incident during vacation, I can’t eat well, I can’t sleep soundly, and the most important thing is - there is no overtime pay.

What a ghost.

And the people who were most shocked were those drama actors who had been rehearsing for a long time, and they couldn't accept Zhang Jue's joining.

For this report performance, they have been rehearsing for more than half a year. Temporarily changing the script and letting a stranger who has never studied acting join in is tantamount to ruining the whole show.

Mr. Zhang, what shall we do?

Mr. Zhang, why is this happening? Did we do something wrong?

Teacher Zhang……

Zhang Shijia couldn't explain to his classmates why Zhang Jue was allowed to join, because he didn't know the truth himself.

Charlie's Revenge adapted from SCP-701 The Hanged King's Elegy is a five-act revenge drama that took place in the 17th century. The whole script roughly tells such a story:

A king (Sifu) was stunned by his younger brother (Zaro) with poisoned wine on the way back to the city from hunting, and hanged on a tree. Since Sifu had no heirs, Zalo should be the In order to become the next monarch, at the same time married the original queen Isabella as the new queen.

At the enthronement ceremony, the drunk Queen Isabella confessed to a certain minister, telling him that King Sifu did not die a natural death, but was murdered by Zalo, and she and Sifu originally had a child and came to attend A certain noble at the ceremony——Charlie.

When Charlie heard this, he didn't believe it at first, but when he got home he had a dream about the dead King Sifu, who confirmed Isabella's words to him. (In the actual performance, it is he who recounts his dreams to his servants, so the king is not present.)

Charlie is ready to take revenge and regain his throne.

Zalo knew that Isabella had betrayed him, locked Isabella up, and planned to poison all the ministers who heard about it, so another banquet was held.

After going through many difficulties and obstacles, Charlie rescued his mother Isabella, arrived at the banquet, and exposed Zalo's conspiracy.

After the ministers learned of this, they hanged Zalo and elected Charles as the new king.

The classmate who plays the protagonist Charlie is called Li Ou, a fair-looking student, and he is particularly dissatisfied with Zhang Jue's joining.

Mr. Zhang, the plot of the whole play is actually very simple, and there are not many main characters. Mr. Zhang joined temporarily. What is his identity? What about the lines? This is not something that can be completed in one or two hours!

The students were full of blood, and they didn't know Zhang Jue's importance to the school, so they spoke a little aggressively.

Zhang Shijia actually had these questions himself. He couldn't answer this question, and looked at Zhang Jue as if asking for help.

Zhang Jue was currently choosing his own costume among the props, felt their eyes, and turned his head to smile at all the students participating in the performance.

First of all, I want to explain to you that I am temporarily joining the show. I don't want to ruin your efforts, but to help you complete it better. As for the identity-I will play the dead king.

Here, Zhang Jue is telling the truth. If he hadn't participated in the performance and his magic immunity effect, it is estimated that halfway through the performance, all the audience and actors would commit suicide or kill people due to insanity.

As for the lines, don't worry, I exist on the stage as a ghost, and try not to have any intersection with the characters you play.

Zhang Jue's expression was calm, as if adding a character temporarily was as simple as having breakfast.

And emotions are contagious. When one person is upset, others around him are also upset.

And when you're confident,

Others seem to think that this matter is not so difficult.

This is why Yang Xue always feels that Zhang Jue's smile is magical—because Zhang Jue is always trustworthy, as long as he is around, you will feel that there is no problem that cannot be solved.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the performance of Charlie's Revenge officially kicked off.

As the finale of the report performance, Charlie's Revenge was placed high expectations by the school.

I have to say that this is also related to Zhang Shijia.

The drama club he leads has won many domestic awards, so it is naturally the focus of publicity.

After half a year of preparation, the stage set was quite exquisite, which seemed to draw people to medieval Europe at once.

According to the agreement, the moment the curtain opened, the MTF technicians who had been on standby outside the campus cut off the live video stream through technical means.

Among the people present, only Le Shan and Yang Xue knew this.

A staff member whispered something in Principal Bai's ear, and Principal Bai was so angry that he slapped the table.

Yang Xue heard the words eat shit, solve and get out.

However, the problems caused by the MTF technicians are not comparable to those who make a living in the school. If they don't take the initiative to lift the restrictions, no one can send the video signal out.

She shook her head and turned her gaze back to the main stage.

At this time, the first act of the play has begun, and the usurper Zalo is feasting the courtiers at the coronation ceremony.

Yang Xue concentrated her attention, as if she was looking for something.

Miss Yang seems a little nervous.

Le Shan watched the performance on the stage without squinting, and said with a smile.

Different from Zhang Jue's unbeatable smile, Yang Xue always feels that Leshan's smile seems to have warmth, just like the elder brother next door, he seems to be able to read people's hearts and always know what you are thinking.

Le Shan was right, Yang Xue was indeed a little nervous.

scp-701 needs to be recovered, and the confidentiality authority is not high. Yang Xue has read the relevant materials.

The insanity of all who watched and performed this play was due to the appearance of the mysterious character scp-701-1 (the hanged king, the hanged king in the play).

And the role played by Zhang Jue today is him!

Unlike the riots caused by the audience, once the Hanged King appears, all the characters on the stage will be hanged by the sling that appears out of thin air-just like the death of the Hanged King.

Yang Xue is a scientist and a researcher, but she always feels that Zhang Jue's role today is a bit unlucky.

Even if he plays a entourage, a groom, or an inconspicuous bodyguard, why should he play the king who was hanged.

Seeming to see through Yang Xue's thoughts, Le Shan smiled.

Miss Yang Xue, I thought you should trust Consultant Zhang more than I do.

Le Shan meant something, and Yang Xue clenched her fist slightly.

Indeed, in this world, no one is more familiar with Zhang Jue and trusts Zhang Jue more than her, because they have experienced countless dangers together.

But what about the foundation?

The Foundation seems to know a lot more than she does.

Yang Xue looked at Le Shan and asked a question that she shouldn't have asked.

Can you tell me why the foundation trusts Zhang Jue so much?

This matter has troubled her for a long time. Instead of containing an intruder from a parallel world, the Foundation gave him extremely high authority and great freedom of action.

As with this incident, this is simply not normal and totally out of the Foundation's style.

Le Shan tilted his head, his eyes were always smiling.

He glanced at Yang Xue, and then turned his gaze to the stage, as if enjoying the performance of those actors.

The principle of what to know.

After working in the foundation for so many years, Yang Xue certainly knew about this. She sighed, knowing that she might never get the answer to her question.

Just when she was about to give up, Leshan's gentle voice came.

Dr. Yang, if this incident can be resolved satisfactorily, I will tell you.
