December 31st, 2221.
On New Year's Eve, the whole world was immersed in a sea of joy.
Zhang Jue took the last flight to Switzerland.
This was the foundation's nominal headquarters — site19.
It was called a nominal headquarters because site19 was currently the foundation's largest operating site in the world. It housed hundreds of SCP projects.
Out of the 13 members of the O5 council, one person would be on duty every year to handle the foundation's daily affairs.
Many of those decisions were spread all over the world from here.
Zhang Jue had been to Switzerland once before, but he didn't enter site19 that time.
His purpose for coming to the headquarters this time was simple.
Meet SCP-682.
More than a month ago, Zhang Jue and O5-10 reached an agreement. He would hand over the camera found in SCP-1351, and the foundation would give him a chance to meet with SCP-682. No recording or surveillance was allowed during the whole process.
It seemed that SCP-682 held a very important position in the foundation's eyes, whether in his previous life or now.
He arrived at the Swiss airport at 13: 00 local time on January 1st.
The foundation's person in charge of receiving him was already waiting for him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. My name is Josuel Morales. I'm the person in charge of your trip. I'll take you to the hotel you're staying at first, then we'll go eat something. I know a restaurant that's very good. Mr. Zhang, you'll definitely like it — "
Morales' expression was kind and his words were appropriate. It seemed like he often received guests.
Zhang Jue smiled at him. "Mr. Morales, you don't have to be so polite. If it's convenient, please take me directly to the site."
"Uh, this …"
Morales' expression changed.
Zhang Jue looked up at him. "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient? "
"Not really." Morales was obviously in a difficult position. "At the end of the year, there are more people coming to site19 to report, so I'm afraid Mr. O5 doesn't have time …"
Because the normal staff didn't know which O5 was on duty, they called him Mr. O5.
"It's okay." Zhang Jue waved his hand. "I can wait."
Morales wanted to say something, but Zhang Jue closed her eyes and rested in her seat. Morales sighed and could only ask the driver to drive directly to site 19.
An hour later, the car arrived at site 19. However, instead of going through the main entrance, they took a detour and drove in through a side gate.
Morales brought Zhang Jue to a reception room.
The reception room was very shabby. It was obvious that it had not been cleaned for a while. It did not look like a place to receive guests at all.
Morales looked at the old sofa and felt a little embarrassed. He sighed and said, "Mr. Zhang, you really don't have to be so anxious. Even if you come, what can you do?"
Knowing that the other party meant well, Zhang Jue smiled and said, "It's okay. If you have something to do, go ahead. I'll just wait here. When our honorable Sir O5 is free, you can come and look for me."
Zhang Jue's expression was natural, and there was no reluctance at all.
"Alright." Morales shook his head and left the reception room.
After Morales left, Zhang Jue sat down on the shabby sofa and rubbed his chin with his right hand.
He did not know which O5 was in charge here at the moment, but it was obvious that the other party did not welcome his arrival.
From the moment they met, Morales did not want to bring him to site19. If it were not for his high rank, he might not even be able to enter the site's door.
Placing him here was probably a show of strength by the other party. They probably wanted to take him down a notch.
