《I'm In Charge of SCP》Chapter 30 “Full of Flame” Part 3
Advertisement
Zhang Jue was not the kind of person who would be cocky and arrogant enough to let his opponent have a chance to counterattack. He could have killed Mr. Samuel in one blow, but he didn't do so. The reason was simply that there was another enemy at present.
Like Mr. Samuel, when Zhang Jue saw the mysterious man in the gray suit, goosebumps were consuming Zhang Jue's entire body. It was an instinct of the strong that humans had gradually lost that Zhang Jue possessed.
He knew very well that Mr. Samuel was just an ordinary man who used anomalous items. On the other hand, the mysterious man in the gray suit was a truly powerful being. If he killed Mr. Samuel directly, there would be no buffer between them, and they would have to fight each other directly. He wasn't sure about that man's ability, but as for right now, it was more than likely to be dangerous.
Zhang Jue decided to circle with Mr. Samuel for a while. First, he could test the ability he got from Plague Doctor, and Second, to stall for time. Hoping that the Mobile Task Force would come soon and force back the enemy with the advantage of numbers and equipment.
Even if the Mobile Task Force had arrived, Zhang Jue did not think he could catch or kill that mysterious man, as long as he could ensure that SCP-2950 was not taken away and Site-14 was not nuked and flattened, his mission would be considered successful.
That mysterious man also seems to have no intention to stop Zhang Jue, discreet about his next plan. Mr. Samuel couldn't care about anything else, and his eyes were fixated looking on Zhang Jue.
"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" He stood up from his struggle and brushed aside Dr. Li with one hand. The gun in his hand instantly turned into a long and thin katana.
Mr. Samuel had understood that Zhang Jue's eyes were the cause of his immobility and knew Zhang Jue had the ability to heal himself. It was impossible for Mr. Samuel to kill him by shooting him haphazardly. He chose to attack him differently. With the katana, it was more convenient for him to fight.

Seeing this, Dr. Li's eyes lit up. He realized how that security personnel was killed by Mr. Samuel. Without leaving any time for them to react, he killed all of them with a single slash.
Although Dr. Wondertaiment's products are called "toys". Their capabilities are unparalleled, but it has a lot of drawbacks. Only a person like Mr. Samuel can wield it amongst the entire Chaos Insurgency, and there were others with the same caliber as him.
Looking at Mr. Samuel's stance with the katana, Zhang Jue was a bit surprised. He looked like a complete amateur. He had examined the wounds of the security personnel, and the katana was so sharp that the people who were killed did not even struggle. There's a high chance that Mr. Samuel had used some trick.
There was something fishy here, and it must be the effect of another anomalous item again. It was a bit of a pity for Zhang Jue.
If Mr. Samuel had any special abilities, he could still try to absorb them. But he relied heavily on those anomalous items to fight, and he couldn't keep them for himself. He would end up having to surrender them to the Foundation.
As he was thinking, Mr. Samuel had already charged him with the katana. Mr. Samuel didn't dare to look him in the eye and side-stepped across his katana to deliver a sweeping strike. Even with this amateur technique, Zhang Jue could dodge it with his eyes closed. He took a step backward.
"Wow..."
That was the sound of a sharp blade cutting through his clothes. A wound was cut into Zhang Jue's abdomen, and blood seeped out of his stomach. To keep Zhang Jue from being distracted, Yang Xue could only give a slight shriek.
She hadn't expected Zhang Jue to be so severely wounded at all. According to the momentum, Zhang Jue should have been able to dodge Mr. Samuel's katana easily, but for some reason, it felt like if he had moved a second slower.
Or rather, in that instant, Mr. Samuel's blade was faster than before, as if one second it was in front of Zhang Jue's body and the next it had already cut his flesh. It was a good thing that Zhang Jue had the ability to heal himself, or else his guts would bleed out profusely.

"Heh, I knew you wouldn't disappoint me" Although Zhang Jue was injured, he still showed a smile on his face. He was not taking the situation seriously at all, as if this result had been expected.
After winning the blow, Mr. Samuel was amused, but he still didn't dare to look Zhang Jue in the eye. He could only look at his feet and say, "Zhang Jue, soon you won't have the chance to trash talk anymore. I will cut off your body piece by piece, starting with your tongue!"
Zhang Jue laughed, "Fine, come on then. if you can't do it, you're a bitch, your whole family will be cuckolded, and your children will always look like your neighbors-"
"Shut your mouth!" Angered by Zhang Jue's trash talk, Mr. Samuel charged again, waving the katana in his hand wildly.
Zhang Jue used his years of experience in fighting to dodge and evade his attack. But strangely enough, most of the time, it was clear that Zhang Jue had already dodged the attacks, yet he was still injured by Mr. Samuel's katana.
In a short while, Zhang Jue's clothes were slashed to pieces. If not for his amazing recovery ability, he might have gone into shock due to excessive blood loss.
Watching the two fight, Yang Xue clenched her fists, her fingers already pale. She had wanted to go forward to help when Zhang Jue was injured several times. Zhang Jue always turned around and smiled faintly when she couldn't resist. Once she saw Zhang Jue's smile, her apprehensive heart settled for a moment.
This dead brat! At a time like this, he still had the time to do such things!
Yang Xue had the heart to help him, but the Colt that she had found from a security officer had lost since then.
"Watch out!" Yang Xue once again warned Zhang Jue. This time Mr. Samuel's katana went straight for Zhang Jue's neck.
Even if Zhang Jue's self-healing ability was powerful, there was no way he could survive the separation of his body and head. Mr. Samuel revealed a treacherous smile. He had deliberately fought with Zhang Jue for so long. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to land his fatal blow.
"Die in hell!" He shouted, unleashing his ability.
Not surprisingly, one second later, Zhang Jue's head would be chopped off with a single slash from him, and something unexpected had occurred. As if he could predict it, Zhang Jue tilted his neck back in advance, just in time to dodge his fatal blow.
How was this possible? Mr. Samuel froze for a moment. He had concealed his finishing move for such a long time, but he had dodged it so easily. Seeing Mr. Samuel's incredulous face, Zhang Jue smiled and straightened his ragged clothes.
"Sorry, I've seen through your moves and abilities. From now on, you can no longer hurt me, and I, with certainty, am going to start beating you up. Are you ready?"
Did he see through his ability?
The expression on Mr. Samuel's face shifted, refusing to believe Zhang Jue's words no matter what. He had killed countless people with this ability. How could he have broken it so easily!
He must be lying. He must be!
Mr. Samuel swung his sword at Zhang Jue again. This time, his blade failed to move even for a bit.
Zhang Jue had arrived in front of him and grabbed his wrist. Mr. Samuel looked up in horror and met Zhang Jue's grimacing gaze. Then, Zhang Jue's gritty fist came straight for his face.
"How many more teeth do you think you have enough for me to hit?"

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
