《I'm In Charge of SCP》Chapter 31 “Full of Flame” Part 4

Advertisement

Mr. Samuel has a chip implanted inside his brain made by Dr. Wondertainment. Its ability was to make other people's time stopped for about 0.5 to 1 second, and the interval between using this ability is about 5 seconds. Although the time stop was not long, but if someone mastered it and used it in a fight. Even if it was just a moment of difference, it was a matter between life and death.

Over course of fighting him, Zhang Jue gradually grasped the pattern – his plan was nothing more but to one step further than him. Before he strikes, Zhang Jue count an extra second in, just like playing a game where your internet was bad and there was a one-second delay.

Although it was difficult, but once you get used to it through pre-calculation, Zhang Jue had the chance to beat Mr. Samuel. But this requires very strong analytical skills, you have to know the opponent's moves, habits, and then guess his next move and that's what Zhang Jue was good at.

Zhang Jue found himself possess another ability. Once he grabbed Mr. Samuel or made physical contact with him Mr. Samuel couldn't initiate a time stop, presumably because the ability he acquired from SCP-049 (Plague Doctor) had taken effect.

He had made contact with Plague Doctor and Cockatrice back then, but acquired the ability a little late. Which Zhang Jue guessed had to do with the complexity of the ability. The Plague Doctor’s ability was to disable the original function of an object or creature through contact was a bit more advanced.

After Zhang Jue had cracked Mr. Samuel's ability, the sparring between the two could no longer be called a battle, but a one-sided beating. Zhang Jue threw punches left and right, followed by his left kick and a right kick. If Mr. Samuel had a health point bar, it would have been empty by now.

Zhang Jue intentionally punched him in the face, and Mr. Samuel's face was already swollen, his teeth mixed with saliva and blood were splattered around.

Dr. Li, who was watching the battle from the sidelines was stunned watching Mr. Samuel’s miserable condition, as if he saw his own reflection when he was beaten by Zhang Jue. Felt like Zhang Jue's punch seemed to hit him again. He subconsciously touched his face and couldn't help but shiver.

After Zhang Jue hit his finishing blow, Mr. Samuel had completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground. His face could no longer be described by words, as if he had been hit by the face-deadening kick in a movie, and could no longer be arrogant.

The worst part was that he didn't know how many teeth had been knocked out of his mouth by Zhang Jue, and he didn't know if he would be able to find them.

Zhang Jue kept his finishing blow stance and turned back to ask Yang Xue, "Was it cool?"

Just like Dr. Li, Yang Xue froze on the spot from the moment Zhang Jue lunged his counterattack, her mind was blank and doesn’t even hear what Zhang Jue was saying.

In her opinion, the enemy had already pushed Zhang Jue into a desperate situation, and she was even ready to sacrifice herself to save him. Who knew that Zhang Jue started to fight back, and the other side didn't even have the strength to fight back.

The enemy had barged into Site-14 alone, breaking through the layers of defense just to get to the B6 floor, so their strength could be considered powerful. Only when they met Zhang Jue, they were unable to deal a blow. The enemy was not strong as they thought. When he met Zhang Jue, he was unable to win.

Yang Xue sighed, fortunately Zhang Jue is a Foundation’s personnel. If he was the enemy, it would really be a headache to deal with. Seeing that Yang Xue had been dazed and didn't have time to respond to himself, Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders.

He pointed his finger at Dr. Li, who was standing at the side, like a movie villain: "Hey, how do you want to die?" Dr. Li's body trembled like chaff, and he could already foresee what would happen to him if he surrendered into Zhang Jue's hands - it would definitely be worse than Mr. Samuel.

Fear turned to anger when it reached its peak. Dr. Li shouted, bent down to pick up the long katana in Mr. Samuel's hand, and ran towards Zhang Jue. "I'm going to kill you!"

Zhang Jue turned sideways and extended his right foot. Dr. Li was too late to brake and tripped over him. His remaining teeth were broken, but it didn’t stop him. He rolled and crawled towards Yang Xue who was still dazed.

Dr. Li put the katana on Yang Xue's neck and screamed, "Don't move Zhang Jue! One more step and your girlfriend will be dead!"

He was put in this dilemmatic situation. Zhang Jue touched his forehead, somewhat helpless of the situation. Just as he was spitting, Yang Xue finally came back to her senses and realized the current situation. She seemed to be causing trouble for Zhang Jue again. Yang Xue loathed herself like this.

Before Zhang Jue could make a move, she lifted her right foot and stomped hard Dr. Li's toe, a sudden blow that caused Dr. Li to wince in pain. Yang Xue turned around and elbowed Dr. Li in the head, then lifted her foot and kicked hard at Dr. Li's crotch.

"Gah!" Dr. Li screamed miserably and fell to the ground groaning.

These few clean kicks froze Zhang Jue in his tracks. He can’t believe that woman did it. As expected, no one who worked in the SCP Foundation was just an office boy.

Looking at Dr. Li who was rolling on the ground, Zhang Jue unconsciously covered his crotch by mistake, feeling a little pain.

"Awesome!" Zhang Jue gave a thumbs up to Yang Xue.

Yang Xue sighed. She doesn’t want to drag Zhang Jue’s feet and be a burden to him everytime. That was already the best effort she can do to help him.

Zhang Jue smiled and laughed, turning around his face the mysterious man in the gray suit who had always watched the battle from the sidelines. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and attention.

The real battle has just begun.

The mysterious man in the gray suit waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, I don't want to be your enemy, and I don't want to take away SCP-2950. It was best that this thing left contained by The Foundation."

"Oh?" Listening to his words, that mysterious man seemed to know the secret of SCP-2950, Zhang Jue couldn't help but feel a little strange and raised his eyebrows, "Then what are you doing here? Just to take a stroll?"

The mysterious man said, "I couldn’t help myself but to look you up."

Zhang Jue wondered, "Look at me? What am I, a monkey in a zoo, what's there to see?"

The mysterious man smiled, "You are the chosen one, of course I want to take a look."

The chosen one? Zhang Jue listened to this line and felt a bit familiar.

Where's my Digimon?

"Since the problem has been solved, it's time for me to go." The mysterious man turned around and intended to leave, yet the door was on Zhang Jue's and Yang Xue's side, and there no telling how would he able to get out of the fortress that had been surrounded by multiple Mobile Task Forces agents.

"Tell them that-"

"I'm going to kill all of you. All of you!"

Zhang Jue's words were interrupted by a loud shout. Mr. Samuel, who had been beaten up by Zhang Jue to the point he was unable to take care of himself, had regained his conciousness at some point.

He laughed maniacally, "I’m gonna kill all of you! Hahahahaha!"

Yang Xue thought he had gone crazy and frowned slightly. But right after that, something unexpected happened. They saw that Mr. Samuel's body bloated like a balloon, slowly growing bigger. Not good, he was about to explode himself!

Zhang Jue who had watched countless cartoons, guessed Mr. Samuel's intentions at first. It must be another of Dr. Wondertainment’s nefarious inventions. Zhang Jue wanted to rush up and use the Plague Doctor’s ability to nullify his self-destruct, but the speed of Mr. Samuel's expansion had reached a critical point. His clothes were ripped to shreds and his entire belly became transparent.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Mr. Samuel laughed maniacly, the power of his self-destruction was equivalent to 50 tons of TNT explosives, enough to blow up the entire B6 floor. Everyone here would have to be buried with him, no one would be able to escape.

Zhang Jue stand up and leapt, trying to touch Mr. Samuel as fast as his possibly could. His self-destruction could inevitably cause the displacement of SCP-2950, and then the emergency protocol at Site-14 would be activated.

The problem was much bigger compared to if the B6 had exploded. Not only the entire Site-14 but also the surrounding city will be flattened by a nuclear explosion and an unknown number of people would die. He had to stop Mr. Samuel no matter what.

But Mr. Samuel would not let him do so. The moment Zhang Jue was about to touch Mr. Samuel, a white light emanated from Mr. Samuel's body, followed by a huge shockwave accompanied by fire. The last words Zhang Jue heard were Yang Xue calling out his name in despair.
