I'm In Charge of SCP

Chapter 44 "Ability Failure"

As the curtain slowly pulled back, the audience's eyes regrouped on the stage. But to their surprise, the stage was empty. There was nothing, and it was even cleaner than anything.

If the actors left on their own, what about the props? From the curtain down, to open again, before and after no more than 10 seconds, those actors and actresses had moved so quickly?

The next performance does not need props, just about the King's fate in the end? Did he die?

A series of questions appeared in people's minds. If the play is involved in the video broadcast, I believe the whole stage will be flooded by the screen full of question marks. Yang Xue raised her body slightly and searched for Zhang Jue.

"Blah, blah, blah." The audience muttered

The sound of footsteps can be heard. A man stepped out from the shadows on the left side of the stage. The audience's eyes were all drawn to him.

"Look, who is that?"

"Holy shit, what the hell is that!"

The light gradually shone on that figure. That person was not dressed in normal performance clothes. His whole body was wrapped in bandages as if he was a mummy. Most importantly, he had a collar tied around his neck, and several chains extended from the collar and were tied to his hands and feet, just like a death row prisoner.

Yang Xue's pupils dilated slightly. Lei Shan, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes. All the MTF members present disguised as staff members entered a level of alert, ready to strike at any time because they knew that the real Hanged King had appeared.

Yang Xue and Lei Shan saw the real face of the Hanged King for the first time. At this moment, the head of the MTF team came to Lei Shan's side and asked him if they should evacuate the audience. Although they had been prepared, most of the people at the scene were students, and no one could afford it if something went wrong.

As Leshan was about to speak, there was a commotion in the audience. It turned out that as they were talking, another person in the same dress appeared on the other side of the stage. Like the mummy just now, he took one step and came to the center of the stage.

The two were facing each other.

"Two Hanged Kings?"

The eyebrows of the MTF member beside Lei Shan were knitted together as if he couldn't understand the scene in front of him.

"No, it's not." Yang Xue shook her head, "The one coming up behind is Zhang Jue. Although I don't know where he got the clothes, but I recognize his walking posture. It must be him!"

The MTF team member said to Lei Shan, "Whether it's Advisor Zhang or not, you'll have to make a decision, Sir. I'm afraid something will happen if you let so many people be directly exposed to the influence of the Hanged King."

Lei Shan pinched his chin with his index finger and thumb, weighing the pros and cons. Although he'd said he'd let Zhang Jue have his way to take care of it, he still needed to keep the outcome within an acceptable range.

Now that the main part of the play was over, evacuating the students at this time would not cause many revolts.

Just as he was about to give the order, Yang Xue suddenly said, "Wait!" Lei Shan looked at her.

Yang Xue pointed at the Hanged King coming up behind him. Zhang Jue said, "Look at his left hand!"

Lei Shan fixed his eyes and looked at it. Only to see his bandaged hand, the index finger seemed to be constantly shaking. If it were an ordinary person, it might have been a subconscious movement. But it was different from Zhang Jue's case. Yang Xue knew him best, and at times like this. Any action he made could be meaningful.
