Chapter 69: Mysterious Person

When Zhang Jue came out of the Dragon's Nest, it was already morning. The snowstorm had stopped, and there was a blanket of white snow as far as the eye could see. The sky had cleared, and the bright sun shone throughout his body, making it very warm.

The Black Queen and the Serpent's Hand had gone missing, and they should have had their way to leave the area. Zhang Jue took out his compass and map, identified the direction, and began to head back the way he came.

After about an hour of walking, he saw a group of people slowly marching towards him on the hillside not far ahead, judging from the equipment style. It should be the SCP Foundation's backup team.

"Hey, it's Advisor Zhang!" The other side had also spotted him, and one of them jumped up to greet him. It was the voice of Hael.

Zhang Jue knew that Harvey, that smiling tiger, would certainly never do such a thing as this. Half an hour later, the two sides finally met up. Looking at Zhang Jue unharmed, Hael finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something had happened to Zhang Jue, he would definitely have been in trouble.

Because of the snowstorm yesterday, the SCP Foundation's backup team looked in bad condition, with snow stains all over their bodies, not knowing where they had spent the night hiding under a rock. On the other hand, Zhang Jue waited for the snowstorm to stop before coming out of the cave. Both mentally and physically better than they knew. Hael was very surprised.

"Advisor Zhang, that, did you find that giant dragon?" He asked cautiously.

"Found it." Zhang Jue nodded his head.

"Huh?" Hael was shocked and looked Zhang Jue up and down to make sure he wasn't injured, "Then how are you doing now? How are we going to contain it? I think this matter can't be rushed. It's good that you're fine. Let's go back first and think about the plan for the dragon later."

At this time, Zhang Jue was holding binoculars, looking at the surrounding terrain, judging whether there was a risk of an avalanche. Hearing Hael's words, he said, "You mean that giant dragon? It's already dead."

"Oh, it's dead." Hael continued, "Even if it's not good to contain, for the time being, we should make up a reason to trick those tourists first. Otherwise, they will come here sooner or later-- what? Advisor Zhang, what did you say? It's already dead?"

"Right." Zhang Jue nodded his head. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"That's... Advisor Zhang, are you sure? I remember Davis said that the giant dragon was several hundred meters long... you know, several hundred meters long. It was as big as several soccer fields... you said that the dragon was..." said Hael, while making a gesture describing the dragon, afraid that Zhang Jue did not know what a giant dragon looked like.

"Dead." Zhang Jue looked at him, "Too dead to die."

"Gulp." Hael swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The words had come to this point. He couldn't believe it.

Unlike those journalists, these people are capable of entering the deep mountains and if SCP-3844 had not committed suicide. It was only a matter of time before they discovered him.

Accompanied by Harvey, Zhang Jue arrived at an ordinary private house. Zhang Jue found that there was more than one agent on guard at various intersections and high points around the private house, the highest level of security he had seen so far.

Harvey stood in front of the private house and carefully knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Apparently, it was some sort of passcode. After two minutes, the door pried open a small crack.

The man inside looked at Harvey warily, "ID."

Harvey hurriedly handed in his papers. The man double-checked and looked at Zhang Jue behind him to ensure there was no danger before he opened the door completely.

Zhang Jue and Harvey entered the private room together and found that it was far more spacious than it looked. Led by the man who opened the door, the two circled for two minutes before finally arriving at the door of a room.

The door opener said to Zhang Jue, "My lord has said that only you are allowed to enter alone." Because of this, Zhang Jue felt weird.

Harvey, on the other hand, breathed a long sigh of relief. He will be more relaxed as long as he doesn't meet the person inside. He did not care to say anything to Zhang Jue, turned around, and ran away instantly.

Seeing Harvey's action, Zhang Jue couldn't help but curse. This old man he's definitely not reliable at critical moments.

The door opener made an inviting gesture, urging Zhang Jue to enter, seemingly not wanting to delay too long. Zhang Jue shrugged his shoulders and opened the door.

The room was not large, and there was an old man inside. He was on crutches, looking out the window at the Alps.

When he heard Zhang Jue's footsteps, he did not turn around but spoke in a mellow voice, "Young man, do you know who I am?"

Zhang Jue found a chair and sat down instantly. In terms of aura, no one had been able to overpower him.

He crossed his legs and said with a smile, "Master. No need to be so mysterious. I knew for a fact that you're one of the O5 Council members."
