I'm In Charge of SCP

Chapter 8 "Special Advisor"

The SCP Foundation has divided the institutional facilities under its jurisdiction into Site, Area, Sector, Unit, and other categories by size, collectively known as Sites. These sites are usually disguised as government or corporate backgrounds, such as Site-14, where Yang Xue is located, which was claimed to be the headquarters of a pharmaceutical company.

Most sites hosting high-risk anomalies have extreme countermeasures and failsafe, such as built-in nuclear warheads. Of course, this mechanism should be used only as a last resort.

Recently, many things have happened in Site-14. Among them, the most influential is the termination of the SCP-682 experiment that failed, made a big mess of the test site, and was eventually reinstituted.

Zhang Jue's role in this event was immeasurable, especially since he was immune to the effects of SCP-053, which was surprising. Word of mouth has spread, and now Zhang Jue has a high reputation at Site-14, and many staff members wanted him to join the SCP Foundation.

That Dr. Li, who wanted to harm him, had become a dog that everyone shouted at. Deputy Site Director Huang Xingwen immediately decided to lock up Dr. Li and wait for the Foundation to do further investigation and treatment.

The third day after this incident, the Site Director who went to the headquarters for a meeting, Yang Xue's uncle, Yang Wenbai, finally returned. After a brief encounter with Deputy Site Director Huang Xingwen, he beckoned to see Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue arrived at the Site Director's office, led by Yang Xue. "Hello, Mr. Zhang Jue."

Yang Wenbai stepped out from behind his desk and shook Zhang Jue's hand with a smile on his face. Zhang Jue inclined his head and extended his hand. Yang Xue was a little surprised. This wasn't like something her uncle would do, to be too polite to Zhang Jue, a little bit vigor.

She wanted to leave but was called back by Yang Wenbai. "Xue, don't rush to leave. You, as a representative of the staff at this site, happen to be a witness."

"Witness?" Yang Xue was unsure.

Zhang Jue said, "Site Director Wenbai, say what you have to say. There is no need to make so many twists and turns."

Zhang Jue's words were a bit rude, and Yang Xue wanted to say something to round things off, but she found that her uncle didn't seem to be angry.

"Mr. Zhang is quick to speak. Then I won't beat around the bush." Yang Wenbai took out a document from the table, and his expression turned serious.

"Mr. Zhang Jue, on behalf of the SCP Foundation, I would like to officially inform you that you have passed the Foundation's examination, and the Foundation will lift the restrictions on you and grant you legal status, and at the same time, we also extend a sincere invitation to you to join the Foundation and contribute to the survival of human society. Mr. Zhang, are you willing to become a member of the SCP Foundation?"

When Yang Wenbai finished, Yang Xue was slightly stunned; the thing she had thought about most in the past two days was how to convince her uncle to let Zhang Jue join the Foundation, but she had not expected her uncle to bring back the Foundation's stamped documents directly.

It had only been three days since Zhang Jue had assisted in the containment of SCP-682, and her report had just been written, so where did the Foundation executives learn about this?

Yang Xue was confused, and it seemed that the top management of the Foundation did have a lot of secrets that were not known to anyone. But she hadn't mentioned it to Zhang Jue yet, so she didn't know what his attitude would be.

Yang Xue glanced at Zhang Jue, but the latter's face was expressionless, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry.

Zhang Jue said calmly, "Identity is my condition."
