I’m In Charge of SCP

According to data provided by the Foundation, not every performance of SCP-701's The Hanged King's Tragedy resulted in riots.

Intentional or not, outbursts usually occur on opening nights, or at shows with the highest planned attendance.

Once an anomaly occurs, the actors' performances will begin to deviate from the script unconsciously. Unlike off-script improvisations or mistakes, the above-mentioned deviations are orderly and consistent, as if the actors are performing another part of the script. version, the actors themselves will not notice any changes, as if the script should have been.

Zhang Jue was on the edge of the stage, watching the performance on stage.

At this time, the performance of the first act was drawing to a close.

Charlie was telling his personal servants about the dream he had, saying that he had seen King Sifu, and that he was the crown prince.

His performance is full of emotion, and it can be seen that this classmate named Li Ou has superb acting skills. Given time, he might become a star.

However, Zhang Jue noticed something strange—the actor's voice had changed, and it seemed that another person was attached to him, saying the same words.

And he also noticed with sharp eyes that there was a figure looming on the edge of the stage opposite, and except for him, everyone seemed to ignore that person, and even a staff member walked past him.

Is this coming? Zhang Jue licked his lips.

Zhang Jue walked around the backstage and came to the sidelines, where the actors were all waiting.

He saw that after getting off the stage, Li Ou became taciturn, and sat on the stool beside him motionless.

But the other actors didn't notice his abnormality because they had to prepare their own scenes.

Zhang Jue walked over and patted him on the shoulder: What's wrong with you?

Li Ou raised his head: I...I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, it's okay, I can still persevere.

Zhang Jue saw that his eyes were already bloodshot, and he kept grabbing his hair, as if he was fighting against something.

Leo is lying.

In fact, he was already mentally exhausted.

The moment he stood on the stage, he felt that he didn't belong to him anymore. He couldn't control his behavior at all, and his mind went blank.

When he came back to his senses, his performance was over, but fortunately nothing went wrong.

His abnormality naturally couldn't be concealed from Zhang Jue's eyes. Zhang Jue firmly held his shoulder and activated the ability of the epidemic doctor - invalidation.

ah--

Li Ou cried out in pain, feeling his body being hollowed out.

After the pain, he felt relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been taken away by others.

He looked at Zhang Jue: You, what did you do to me?

Zhang Jue patted him on the head: Young man, don't always think about those messy things. I am such a romantic talent with pink makeup and jade, what kind of bad thoughts can I have? - Are you free tonight, young man? .”

Li Ou felt a chill.

Zhang Jue laughed, turned and left.

Those actors didn't have a good impression of him, and when they looked crazy, they all secretly cursed him as crazy.

Zhang Jue was complacent all the way, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared when he reached a place where no one was around.

The situation is much more serious than he imagined.

After a detailed study of his own abilities in the past few days, he found that using the abilities he obtained from SCPs required energy.

The more complicated the ability to use, the more times he uses it, or the stronger the thing he has to fight against, the more tired he will feel.

Just now he was just trying to dispel the hanged king's thoughts on Leo, which was very laborious.

There were more than a dozen cast and crew on stage. If they were all under the influence of the Hanged King, it would be enough for him to drink a pot just to restore them to normal.

If we want everyone to use this method back to normal,

He must be exhausted here.

Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes, and decided to use a more exciting method—how about putting all the eggs in one basket?

The second act and the third act were performed in turn, and the audience watched with gusto.

I have to say that those drama actors did perform quite well.

Old Zhang, it's not bad that Shijia made this drama club, hahahaha! Principal Bai said with a smile.

Vice-principal Zhang nodded and said, Yes, it's okay.

Minister Qiu laughed: It's just that I haven't seen the performance of Consultant Zhang. I don't know what role he will play.

Probably remembering Minister Qiu's words before, the corner of Vice Principal Zhang's mouth twitched: I hope it's not some weird guy.

Among all the people on the stage, only three people were not immersed in the performance, except Yang Xue and Le Shan who already knew the truth of the matter, and the other one was Zhang Shijia.

No, it's not right, their performance is completely out of the script! This scene where ministers are killed and made into dishes is too cruel. I have obviously deleted it, and it was not during rehearsal. Why did they perform it? ?! Did they read the original script? Did they know that my script was plagiarized? What should I do? What should I do?

Zhang Shijia was immersed in self-doubt, completely unaware that he had reached the brink of collapse.

Yang Xue noticed his abnormality and looked towards Leshan.

Le Shan nodded, and made a gesture indistinctly.

At the edge of the auditorium, two people in uniforms of security personnel bowed slightly and walked slowly towards Zhang Shijia.

Probably because Zhang Xuechang has been in direct contact with the original 701, and the closer he is to the outbreak, the stronger his mood swings.

Yang Xue analyzed it for Leshan.

She is a senior researcher and a very reliable companion.

It's just that when Zhang Jue was around, his mind was always faster than hers, and while he was a little discouraged, he also became dependent.

Le Shan nodded, and he also noticed that not only Zhang Shijia, but most of the audience were much more excited than before.

If they were still in the rhythm of watching a movie when they first entered the arena, then in the third act, they were already in the state of watching the World Cup.

Moreover, the more vulnerable people are, the more affected they will be. Several students are already crying secretly.

But everyone seems to be unaware of this.

look!

Yang Xue suddenly pointed to a corner of the stage, and Le Shan looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a looming figure.

Under the watchful eyes of the two of them, the figure appeared from nothing, and finally disappeared.

Le Shan narrowed his eyes: That's probably the legendary Hanged King.

Yang Xue nodded, feeling a little worried because Zhang Jue still didn't show up.

According to the plan, Zhang Jue played the role of the dead Hanged King, appearing as a ghost in everyone's performance.

But the first four acts have ended, and the development of the plot is approaching its climax. Yang Xue doesn't know when he will appear.

Just as she was thinking, the fifth act—that is, the curtain of the last act opened.

The first character to appear is the Hanged King played by Zhang Jue!

He finally showed up!

Yang Xue clenched her fist slightly, feeling a little nervous uncontrollably.

Le Shan smiled, this Consultant Zhang would not stalk a hawk if he didn't see a rabbit, his appearance on the stage meant that a good show was about to be staged.

It's time to see you again.
