Zhang Jue stared into the old man's eyes.
"Before that, can I ask you a question? How do you know I can kill you?"
"I don't know." The old man shook his head. "My intuition drove me."
The battle between the two was on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, Zhang Jue's phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the old man and answered the call.
Du Jingtian's voice came through. "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, but there's something I might need your help with."
"Speak." Zhang Jue's words were concise.
"According to the foundation's tip-off, SCP-1440 appeared in the nearby area. The two MTF teams, Mole and Raccoon, have taken over the security measures outside the venue, but they couldn't find him. They speculated that the old man might have already entered the venue."
"There's no need to speculate." Zhang Jue looked at the old man in front of him. "He's right in front of me."
The other end of the phone suddenly paused. He was obviously surprised by this news.
"Mr. Zhang, you're really …"
"What?"
"Nothing."
Zhang Jue snorted. "Du Jingtian, if you dare to say anything else, I'll ask Le Shan to transfer you to site14. We'll have a good chat."
"Uh, sorry." Du Jingtian had already experienced Zhang Jue's temper. He knew that even Le Shan wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. He could only admit defeat. "I just wanted to say that you really 'live up to your reputation'."
Zhang Jue didn't bother to argue with Du Jingtian's words. He said angrily, "So, you called me to tell me this?"
"No." Du Jingtian said. "I've already informed Mr. Le about this. He said that you're fully in charge of everything here. So, I'm asking you for instructions. What should we do now?"
Fully in charge?
He should be the one taking all the blame.
Le Shan must be holding a grudge against me for taking advantage of him.
Zhang Jue said angrily, "What should we do? Since we've confirmed that SCP-1440 is here, what else can we do? No matter what method you use, evacuate everyone in the stadium within half an hour. If you don't want to die, tell them to get out of here! Also, dispatch as many fire trucks and riot squads as possible. Whether or not this building will survive is another matter altogether. "
Zhang Jue gave them a bunch of missions. It was obvious that he was wary of the old man's strength.
"No matter what method you use," seemed to have become Zhang Jue's catchphrase, because he really didn't care what kind of dirty tricks Du Jingtian used, as long as he could achieve his goal.
Du Jingtian understood Zhang Jue's subtext and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what about you?"
"Me?" Zhang Jue looked at the old man in front of him. "Of course I have more important things to do."
…
SCP-1440 — Old Man of Unknown Origin.
Legend has it that he won an immortal body in a bet with the three brothers of the Grim Reaper, but at the same time, he was cursed by them.
Although he wouldn't die, the price was that no matter where he went, he would bring disaster to the humans there.
Just like Dr. Bright, although they obtained immortality, they only thought about how to get rid of it.
He once voluntarily went to the SCP Foundation and asked to be "destroyed", but it led to the destruction of the entire site.
The foundation tried to contain or destroy him several times, but without exception, they all failed and paid a very painful price.
Since then, the old man disappeared on his own and embarked on a journey of wandering again.
No one knew where he went.
