Zhang Jue sat on the chair. His tone was frivolous and without the slightest hint of respect. However, the old man did not get angry.
He had lived for many years. If there were no accidents, he would live for many more years. He was no longer angry over such trivial matters.
He turned around and revealed his old face.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm O5-2. My name is Lester. Of course, you can continue to call me Grandpa. That's your choice."
After hearing his words, Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows. "You know me?"
O5-2 smiled. "The famous Mr. Zhang Zhang Jue. How could I not know you? The issue of your identity has given us a headache for quite a while."
The identity of a special consultant was specially approved by the O5 Council. Zhang Jue was naturally aware of this.
What surprised him was that O5 actually remembered his appearance.
One must know that the O5 Council had a lot of work to do every day. Information from all over the world was gathered to them for them to make decisions.
Who knew how old this old man was. It was rare for him to have such a good memory.
O5-2 was silent for a moment before he said, "Young man, can you tell me more about SCP3844? I've been in charge of its project since the beginning. A few days ago, I received a message from it. However, it's old and its body isn't as good as before. When I arrived here, it was already too late. I heard that you were the one who executed it?"
"It committed suicide." Zhang Jue did not choose to lie to this old friend of 3844.
"Oh?" The old man was a little surprised. "The first time it died, it was executed by me. You could say that I was the one who caused it to gradually weaken and walk towards destruction. I thought that it returned to this world for revenge. I didn't expect, cough cough —"
The old man coughed a few times. It seemed that 3844's matter had always been buried in his heart. Even after so many years, he had never forgotten about it.
"It's the opposite of what you think." Zhang Jue shook his head. "The reason 3844 committed suicide was to protect this world. He called himself a remnant of the old era because he knew he did not belong to this era."
Zhang Jue told O5-2 everything he had seen and heard along the way, including the woman in black. The only thing he didn't mention was that 3844 had left him a dragon crystal.
Hearing Zhang Jue say that 3844 drank the poisoned wine, O5-2 sighed slightly and took out a bottle of wine from the wine rack.
He opened the cork, and the aroma of the wine filled the air.
Zhang Jue sniffed and found that it was also gin.
The old man took out a wine cup, poured some wine, and drank it in one gulp. Then, he coughed violently — it seemed that he was not good at drinking.
He used his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, unsure if he had choked on the wine.
At this moment, this old man was no longer the all-powerful O5, but an old man who did not even get to see his old friend for the last time.
After he calmed down a little, Zhang Jue said, "3844 asked me to pass you a message."
"What message?" O5-2 seemed to still be immersed in that emotion.
"He said... one day, it will come."
O5-2 put down the wine cup.
Zhang Jue could feel that at this moment, the aura emanating from the old man had suddenly changed.
He had returned to his identity as the leader of the most terrifying and mysterious organization.
"Is the end of the world coming?"
He muttered under his breath, as if he was not surprised at all.
Zhang Jue guessed that the Golden Foundation must have come to a similar conclusion through other channels.
He couldn't help but tremble.
Could it be that 3844's senses were right? Is the end of the world really coming? Don't be like this.
His original world had already become like that, and the world he transmigrated to was also coming to an end. How was he going to survive?
Zhang Jue kept complaining in his heart.
