I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

Le Shan pinched his chin with his index finger and thumb, weighing the pros and cons.

Although he said to let Zhang Jue do it freely, the result still needs to be controlled within an acceptable range.

Now that the main part of the play is over, evacuating the students at this time will not cause too much resistance.

Just when he was about to give an order, Yang Xue suddenly said: "Wait!"

Le Shan looked at her.

Yang Xue pointed to the Hanged King who came up from behind—that is, Zhang Jue—and said, "Look at his left hand!"

Leshan looked intently.

I saw his bandaged hand, the index finger seemed to be shaking constantly.

If it is an ordinary person, it may be a subconscious action.

But that was Zhang Jue.

Yang Xue knows him best. At this time, any action he makes may be meaningful!

He knew that as soon as he appeared on the stage, everyone's eyes would be on her, so the news he conveyed must be very important.

"What is it, what is it! What the hell is he trying to say!" Yang Xue closed her eyes, her mind spinning rapidly, forcing her brain to be at the same frequency as Zhang Jue.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and whispered, "Morse code! It's Morse code!"

After Yang Xue's reminder, Le Shan remembered that he and Zhang Jue communicated in this way in the VIP room before.

Zhang Jue knew very well that Leshan had the ability to directly decipher Morse code, so he chose to use this method to deliver messages to them in public.

Le Shan stared at Zhang Jue's hand and found that his tapping was very regular.

It just seems to be repeating a word.

wait.

WAIT!

Le Shan whispered: "He told us to wait!"

Yang Xue clenched her fist vigorously, feeling a little excited in her heart.

This was the first time she followed Zhang Jue's train of thought.

Le Shan shook his head: "This consultant Zhang is really terribly confident."

The MTF member confirmed again: "My lord, then we—"

Le Shan smiled: "Since Consultant Zhang asked us to wait, let's wait. I also want to see how he can deal with this king who has already died once."

The mummy who sent the Morse code was naturally Zhang Jue.

As for where the actors who wanted to kill him went, and why he became what he is now, we have to start with his ability.

In the last site14 invasion incident, Zhang Jue went through untold hardships to stop the enemy's plot.

He took the risk and had contact with many SCPs, the advantage is that he obtained the corresponding ability.

In addition to the "self-healing" ability obtained from Shirley from the beginning, he currently has four other SCP abilities:

Ability of SCP-049 (Plague Doctor): "Null".

Ability of SCP-1013 (Lizard Chicken): "Calm"

Ability of SCP-2006 (scary gorilla with helmet): Shapeshifting.

And the ability of SCP-106 (scary old man): different space.

During the invasion, due to limited time, he didn't develop all of them. The last two abilities were slowly realized at home.

The ability of phantom is just like its literal meaning, that is, you can change your shape at will, but I don’t know if it’s not proficient enough. Zhang Jue can only phantom into a humanoid at present, and his attempts to turn into tables, chairs and benches have all ended in failure .

The other is the ability of the scary old man, different space.

He found that he had a different space with a length, width and height of about 100 meters. As long as he wanted to, he could bring the object into the different space the moment he touched the object-a bit like the ability to bring soil, but It's not that fast, and it doesn't have that much lethality.

Just now he used this ability to transfer all the actors who were affected by the Hanged King to a different space.

And when the Hanged King appeared, he decisively used his illusion ability, which resulted in the appearance of two Hanged Kings on the stage.

The Hanged King exuded an eerie aura.

If it wasn't Zhang Jue who stood opposite him, but someone else, he might have become insane long ago.

"Give up." Zhang Jue said, "You are already dead."

"Revenge..." The Hanged King let out a terrifying low voice, "I want revenge..."

Zhang Jue took a step forward and boldly grabbed the hanged king's arm. He activated the ability of the plague doctor to nullify the hanged king's manifestation.

However, the strength of the Hanged King was completely beyond his imagination.

Even though the actors' summoning ceremony was interrupted by him just now, and the Hanged King is not perfect at this time, he is still not the opponent's opponent.

The contact between the two, not only did not invalidate the Hanged King, but caused him to be greatly traumatized.

He underestimated the Hanged King and overestimated himself.

Zhang Jue just felt dizzy, as if his body was no longer his own.

He felt as if he were in a small boat sailing through the depths of the sea.

The world in front of me is fragmented, then reorganized, and so on.

I do not know how long it has been.

Zhang Jue opened his eyes.

However, what he saw was not the audience in the audience, but a majestic castle.

That weird architectural style doesn't look like a human creation at all.

Zhang Jue realized that this was the Lost City of Alakata, which belonged to the Hanged King's palace.

He came to the place where the Hanged King lived.

.

Chapter 45 The Truth About The Hanged King

Zhang Jue doesn't know much about the Hanged King, except that he was once a tyrant who was greedy for pleasure and exploited his people, making them miserable. Own city-state, and materialized in reality through SCP-701, continues to kill.

And the place he ruled was called the city of Alakada.

Zhang Jue didn't know why the hanged king brought him here.

Zhang Jue was floating in the air, unable to speak, let alone move his body, only his mind could move.

It's like a camera, passively recording everything it sees.

Time seems to go back a long time ago, and the city of Alakada is still prosperous.

Contrary to his imagination, the Lost City of Alakata is not a hell, but very rich. Businessmen, politicians, and farmers all lead a prosperous life.

He saw that the Hanged King was working diligently day and night to manage Alakata in an orderly manner.

what happened?

There was a big question mark in Zhang Jue's mind.

This was not the same story as he knew.

But he understood right away—the information he had learned before was not the truth!

Someone tampered with history!

Time moved forward rapidly, and scenes were staged in front of Zhang Jue.

The most important scene came, the hanged king's son rebelled.

He bribed the army, bribed the ministers, and together with his queen mother, imprisoned the Hanged King.

They lied that the Hanged King had a disease, was possessed by ghosts and gods, and needed to be executed.

Those brainless fools actually believed their rhetoric.

They burned his palace and killed all those who were loyal to him.

The Hanged King's jaw was knocked off, he put on chains, and toured the market.

Forced to crawl through the streets of the city, he is mocked by his former subjects, who kick and smash him with filth and cheer loudly.

Seems like it's a holiday for everyone.

In the end, the Hanged King was hanged on a barren hill outside the city.

Until his death, he kept muttering to himself that he could not forgive his son, let alone those stupid subjects.

He is dead, but not quite dead.

A person who can't see clearly—maybe it's not a person?That didn't matter - a deal was made with him.

The Hanged King sacrificed his soul in exchange for great power and eternal life.

He returned to his palace.

The next day, the river that flew over the city turned red and began to smell like human blood, and many citizens fell ill and began to bleed and shake.

Those who participated in the rebellion suffered the most, their strength gradually waned, they became weaker and weaker, and finally died.

By the third day, the disease was lifted, but people started killing themselves, their faces were cut, their throats were cut, and their blood flowed into the red river in the city, and the madness spread, and most of the animals except the crows fled up the city.

The entire city of Alagada became a hell on earth.

But even this could not calm the raging fire in the Hanged King's heart.

He wants revenge.

He let go of those scholars and artists, and made them have nightmares every day.

He let them see the tragic image of the city of Alagada, and forced them to create plays or literary works based on it.

As long as these scenes are materialized, he can use them to manifest and take revenge on those he thinks are stupid!

……

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out to be so.

Zhang Jue couldn't help but smile wryly.

History is always written by the victors, and no one knows how much truth has been buried.

On the stage, the lines he said in order to keep the plot going, turned out to be the closest to the truth.

Presumably that's why the Hanged King brought him here.

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, and when Zhang Jue woke up, he was still standing on the stage, while the Hanged King had long since disappeared.

At this moment, including Yang Xue and Le Shan, all the audience watching the performance felt that their brains were in chaos.

Their memories suddenly became blurred, and they only vaguely remembered that they had seen a very wonderful performance.

At the end of the plot, the character played by Zhang Jue appeared on the stage and defeated the biggest villain.

Besides, they couldn't remember any other details of the performance.

……

"Wow—"

There was thunderous applause.

The audience gave warm applause to Zhang Jue's wonderful "performance".
