I’m In Charge of SCP

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.

Zhang Jue was playing time travel in that unknown place, and the time on earth was also advancing little by little.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered March, and there are still about seven months before the so-called end of the world.

Zhang Jue also disappeared for nearly a month.

Because of the lessons learned from last time, even though Zhang Jue still disappeared quietly this time, no one dared to trouble those he protected.

Yang Xue has been waiting for him outside the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan.

This time she was not as confused and overwhelmed as last time.

She knew that no matter what happened, Zhang Jue would definitely come back.

Of this, she was convinced.

In fact, after analyzing Zhang Jue's actions, she probably mastered the way to enter that unknown area.

But before leaving, Zhang Jue told her that it was very dangerous there, so she waited all the time, very obedient.

She lived next door to the old couple.

The old couple are very good people. Although they don't know what department she belongs to, they have become acquainted with each other after a long time, and occasionally invite her to visit their home.

On this day, Yang Xue had lunch at the old woman's house, and then stayed to drink coffee together.

The old man went to take a nap, leaving only two women, the old and the young.

Yang Xue was stirring her coffee with a spoon in her hand. The afternoon sun hit her body through the window, emitting a golden light.

The old woman was sitting opposite her, looked at her, and asked with a smile, "Girl, are you married?"

Yang Xue shook her head.

"Then you must have someone you like."

Yang Xue nodded: "How do you know?"

The old woman put her coffee on the table and looked out at the sky.

"Because I saw my shadow in you." She smiled gently, "When the old man disappeared on the battlefield, everyone thought he was dead. I waited for him every day like this, and finally I waited for him to come back. Your eyes... are exactly the same as mine.

"

As she spoke, the old woman stood up, took a photo album from the bookshelf, and took out a photo from it, which was when she was young.

"Very beautiful." Yang Xue praised.

The old woman shook her head: "Girl, you are actually better than me. Although your eyes are full of longing, you have never been lost. You seem to trust the person you are waiting for."

"Yes." Yang Xue nodded and suddenly smiled, "Even if the whole world abandons me, he won't."

The two were talking when Yang Xue's phone rang suddenly.

The old woman stood up: "I'm going to water the flowers outside."

Yang Xue nodded, watched her walk out of the room, and pressed the answer button.

"Um, um, okay, I see."

Yang Xue replied, her face became serious. A few minutes later, she hung up the phone, got up and left the room, and came to the yard.

The old woman saw her and asked, "Girl, are you leaving?"

"Yes." Yang Xue nodded, "Thank you for your hospitality these days."

"You're welcome." The old woman smiled gently, "When he comes back, you are welcome to visit my house."

Yang Xue left the old woman's house, immediately drove to the capital of Turkmenistan, and boarded a plane to Switzerland that night.

In the early morning of February 18 local time, Yang Xue arrived at the headquarters of the Administration.

She was taken to office number one.

Looking at the little girl who was only about ten years old in front of her, Yang Xue couldn't connect her with the vigorous No. 1.

"sit."

When Yang Xue entered the office, No. 1 was still reviewing various reports.

As the date of the catastrophe draws nearer, the Authority's affairs become more and more numerous.

The thirteen managers must do everything by themselves, and all major and minor matters must be approved by them.

Half an hour later, No. 1 put down the document in his hand, and squeezed the space between his brows with his small hands.

"Hasn't he come back yet?"

No name or surname was named, but Yang Xue knew who the "he" she was talking about was.

Yang Xue shook her head.

One sighed.

Yang Xue asked: "Can I know what happened?"

No. 1 paused, and then threw the document in his hand to Yang Xue.

It has been a while since the huge turmoil in the Administration Bureau, and the manpower of various departments has been replenished, even more than before.

But the problem is that quantity and quality are not equal.

Leshan and Leshui left one after another, taking away a large number of available people from the Administration Headquarters.

The rest are more or less flawed.

Angelo is a talent, but like No. 2, he has too much power.

Bellamy's ability is relatively poor.

As number one's confidant, Ning Suiyu recommended Yang Xue to her.

Probably because No. 1 is a woman, and most of her confidantes are also women.

The reason why Ning Suiyu recommended Yang Xue was because she had done a careful analysis.

Although Zhang Jue has a perverse and weird personality that is hard to control, Yang Xue is different.

She received an orthodox education since she was a child, and she has a pure mind. Like her father and uncle, she is a dedicated personality.

Before getting to know Zhang Jue, and even after getting to know Zhang Jue, she still maintained her awe of the Administration.

So if there is anything that the bureau can't solve, or it's inconvenient to solve, you might as well go through Yang Xue's channel.

Not only is she capable, she has all the resources of Zhang Jue's subordinates, and most importantly, she also has Zhang Jue as her backing.

No matter what, Zhang Jue would never let anything happen to her.

In the past few days, the administration has been recovering. All thirteen administrators are working in the headquarters, so there is nothing that cannot be resolved.

But as the time for the end draws closer, so do tricky situations.

In addition to Dr. Acheson who disappeared with 140 in his hand that Zhang Jue went to investigate, there were other things piled up in front of No. 1.

Those who are capable have tasks, so she had to follow Ning Suiyu's recommendation and summon Yang Xue back.

And Yang Xue was just like Ning Suiyu's analysis of her, when she heard that the administration needed her, she rushed back without saying a word.

She held her file No. 1, and her face became more and more serious.

Yang Xue has been waiting for Zhang Jue in Turkmenistan for nearly a month, and during this month, many things have happened in the world.

In Europe, Asia, and South America, major earthquakes occurred one after another, several volcanoes such as Mount Fuji and Bromokatla erupted one after another, and some volcanoes that had been "dead" had a tendency to become active.

But No. 1 brought her here today, not for these reasons.

The file in Yang Xue's hand recorded a strange thing.

A vicious incident occurred in the Sri Gaguram area of ​​the Indian peninsula.

In the most recent period, more than 1,000 people committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea.

Initially, an investigation was conducted at a nearby Authority site.

But the team lost contact with the Authority just as it reached near the coast.

Their bodies were found in the bay downstream two days later.

After reporting layer by layer, the authority headquarters got the news a week ago.

Authority headquarters also dispatched an investigative team.

Unfortunately, this team also lost contact.

And no one is alive, no corpse is dead.

That's why No. 1 had to find someone with stronger abilities to check the situation.

Originally Zhang Jue was the most suitable candidate, but now he disappeared in Turkmenistan to investigate 140.

So No. 1 found Yang Xue.

Fortunately, this kind of task focuses on investigation, not combat, so Yang Xue, who is careful, should be able to do it.

"There will be danger, you can choose to refuse." No. 1 looked at Yang Xue and said, "If something happens to you, when he comes back, the entire administration may not be able to bear his anger."

Yang Xue understood No. 1's implication, she stood up and bowed.

"As a member of the Administration, it is our duty to maintain the normal life of human beings. I have not forgotten the oath I made when I joined the Administration—as for him, you don't have to worry, I will leave him a letter , I believe he can understand my choice."

If Zhang Jue were here, he would definitely scold me for understanding.

But Yang Xue's character is like this.

In the face of righteousness, she never cares about personal gains and losses, even life. She is easily "bewitched" and "used" by others.

This has been the case since the first day Zhang Jue knew her, and it has never changed.

It's part of her character, and you can choose to behave differently from her, but you should never laugh at her.

Because there are many such people, people can live a stable and prosperous life.

After leaving No. 1, Yang Xue immediately took a special plane to the Indian peninsula.

On the plane, she had time to read the information in her hand in detail.

The Administration had sent two teams to investigate, and the leader of the second investigation team was Morales who had met Zhang Jue a few times.

He served at the headquarters a long time ago, and the management bureau trained him as a reserve cadre.

He performed well during the assassination incident and has been promoted. Although he is not as famous as Angelo and Bellamy, his ability is definitely not bad.

If something happened to his team, it would definitely not be easy.

Yang Xue didn't sleep all night, and arrived at the site Area53 in the Sri Gagulam area that afternoon.

The person in charge of Area53 received her.

The two sides did not exchange too many pleasantries, and went directly to the topic.

Yang Xue sat on the sofa and took out the information she got from No. 1. You can see that it has been annotated with a red pen.

"Director Brandt, I have read the relevant materials you submitted several times. I have a few questions. I still want to ask the person in charge of the incident personally."

"Okay, I'll ask him to come here now." Supervisor Brant nodded, "Dr. Yang Xue, we have received an order from the headquarters. If you have any requirements, please mention them."

After a while, the Moore researcher also came to the office.

He is actually just a deputy. The main person in charge of this incident, Simon Brown, has died in the first investigation.

After some introductions between the two parties, Yang Xue asked: "Comrade Moore, according to the contents of your report, since the beginning of 2224, there have been occasional incidents of civilians throwing themselves into the sea near the Bay of Bengal. Why did you not start the investigation until recently?"

Moore said: "The situation was not so serious at the beginning. During that time, a suicide organization emerged on the Internet. The local police thought it was a suicide, so they didn't pay attention to it. Until a while ago, they camped there one night. Dozens of people threw themselves into the sea at the same time, and we only got help from the local government."

Yang Xue nodded: "You and the deceased Comrade Simon Brown both went to the beach to investigate, but you were fine, but he threw himself into the sea. Did you make a judgment and why?"

Moore shook his head: "I went with him at the time, and we were together almost the whole time, so I don't know why."

Yang Xue asked again: "There were three days between when you went to the beach to investigate and when Brown threw himself into the sea. Did he show any abnormalities?"

Moore frowned: "No, it's quite normal. We had dinner together the night before he threw himself into the sea—if there was anything unusual, I remember him saying that he forgot his daughter's birthday."

Yang Xue nodded, thoughtfully.

Brandt asked: "What, Director Yang Xue, did you find anything?"

Yang Xue hummed lightly: "I have some ideas, but I'm not sure yet."

Yang Xue asked a few more questions, and Moore answered them one by one.

After Moore left, Brant asked, "Dr. Yang Xue, what do you want me to do next?"

Yang Xue shook her head lightly: "You guys maintain the original state and don't move. In addition, please help me find a few family members of the parties. I have some questions to ask them."

Brandt said: "This is not a problem, but for the sake of confidentiality, we need the cooperation of the local police, which will take time."

"It's okay, I'll go to the beach to have a look tomorrow."

"ah?"

Yang Xue looked at him: "Is there any problem?"

"I'm fine, but Dr. Yang, are you sure you want to go?"

Brandt was actually afraid that something would happen to Yang Xue. After all, the investigators at their site and the team at the headquarters of the Administration had already been tricked last time.

That beach has been blocked by the management authority and turned into a restricted area, and other people are not allowed to approach.

Yang Xue has not slept for two days and one night. She rested in the site for one night. The next morning, she was about to leave for the beach, but she did not expect the local police to be quite efficient. She has already contacted several people who are willing to cooperate. The victim's family, Yang Xue went directly to the local police station.

Yang Xue stayed at the police station all morning, and rushed back to the station at noon.

Brant asked, "Anything to gain?"

Yang Xue nodded, and handed her transcript to him for a look.

After Brant saw it, he was very surprised: "Dr. Yang, you mean, these people had memory loss before the accident?"

Yang Xue nodded: "Not all, the probability is around 20% to 25%, so I would like to ask, Director Brandt, whether there are any items near that beach that can affect other people's memories .”

Brant pondered for a while, as if he had gained something, then he glanced at Yang Xue.

Yang Xue took out the transfer order signed by No. 1. Before coming, her security level and personnel level had been raised to the highest level.

Brandt took a look at the transfer order, and then nodded.

"The number of that item is 3000."

...

Thanks to Mr. Qin Zhidao for the reward.
