Chapter 869: The ultimate rescue (17)

“I know that you want to grab the SCP1998 and shoot me the moment I open the box.” Two seconds later, Feng bujue continued,”if I was the one being held hostage, I would have the same thought.” He paused for half a second.”Unfortunately … I’m not.”
Before he finished speaking, he took a few steps closer.
“In order to prevent you from doing anything stupid, I’m just informing you first.” Brother Jue continued,”I can tell you for sure … I’m already prepared for what you’re going to do. If you have any strange movements, I will not hesitate to respond. ” As he said that, his tone suddenly carried a hint of a creepy smile.”…No matter how cold-blooded that ‘reaction’ looks to ordinary people.”
“I…I see …” Dr. Johnathan’s voice trembled,”I…Won’t … Won’t act rashly …”
“Very good,” he said. “Open the box, doctor,” Feng bujue said.!!
Jonathan swallowed his saliva and took out the key from his pocket. He then inserted it into the keyhole of the safe.
During this process … His hands were trembling, and so was his body. An animal’s instinct when facing a fatal threat caused his whole body to be in a state of tension like an arrow on a bow. Although his concentration had been improved a lot, the accuracy of his movements had been reduced. The tension and fear made his movements slow and inefficient.
“Are you trying to stall for time? Doctor. ” “It takes so long to open a box?” Feng bujue asked.
“No… I … I just …” Johnathan quickly looked at brother Jue and shook his head in denial.”…My hands are not listening to me.”
“Hmph …” Feng bujue scoffed.”You better stop that Qilin arm of yours, or I’ll break it with a single shot.”
“I … I know. I’ll open it immediately.” Johnathan said as he hurriedly started to spin the mechanical lock on the safe.
“Oh, right … I might as well tell you that even if you’re really stalling for time … It’s useless.” Then, brother Jue raised his head to glance at the surveillance camera in the corner of the room.”Assuming that the person on the other end of the surveillance camera noticed what was going on the moment we entered the room and immediately gave the order to surround us … We still have about three minutes and thirty seconds before we’re threatened.”
The fact that he was able to give such an accurate number was obviously based on evidence. Three minutes and thirty seconds … That was the shortest time needed to travel from the B3 research room to the containment facility of scpnovel 1998.
When Feng bujue turned on the communicator and spoke the first sentence on the public channel, he had already predicted this.
Reporting Dr. Jonathan’s name and location was both a test and an induction. Brother Jue had taken into account Steven’s reasoning ability, the time needed to deliver the order, and other factors. The reason he had been walking “leisurely” in the emergency passage was that he was consciously controlling “time.” He was waiting for B3 “s security team to gather at the research room. When they were almost there, he would kidnap the doctor and retreat into the passage. In this way, he could use the technical advantage of the emergency safety passage to exchange for a certain amount of “safe time.”
Using chess as an example, Steven could see the next two to three moves, but Feng bujue … Could see more than five.
With the information he had gotten from Kozmo, the memory from the B3 event, and the information he had gotten from Billy … Brother Jue had already built a very complicated model in his mind.
Every step he planned and implemented, as well as the changes that might arise after each step, had been repeatedly deliberated by the zero-time difference calculation. His ability … Was very close to ZERO’s “prophecy program”, but it was also different.
This was because brother Jue was a ‘human’, an intelligent life form that lacked ‘principles’. The more one lacked principles, the more “unpredictable” one would be, and the more “one could adapt to changes”.
The key to everything was the “choice” of Jian Jia.
For various reasons, humans would make choices that were contrary to logic, common sense, correctness, or probability. In the eyes of the AI, these were all “wrong” and “unreasonable.” But sometimes, these choices would bring “better” results.
If the ‘future’ zero predicted was a straight path, then Feng bujue’s future was a River with countless branches … He might not be able to see the end, but he could influence the outcome to a large extent.
…………
Four minutes later, when Gore and dan led a group of security guards into the containment room of scpnovel 1998-the room was empty.
Gore looked at the surveillance camera that had been shot by the rifle, sighed, and reported,””Sir, we still didn’t make it … Austin must have entered the passage again with the doctor.”
“I know.” Steven couldn’t even get angry anymore, because he knew that it was meaningless to get angry at his own people. The current situation wasn’t that there was a problem on their side. The enemy was too cunning …
“Everyone, return to your original positions.” After a few seconds, Steven calmed himself down and picked a frequency that brother Jue could not reach to order the other security guards,”Gore, dan, immediately lead the emergency team to Project B6 and guard it. Don’t let that madman release things like 236 or 280.”
“Yes, sir.” After receiving the order, the security team members began to move.
In the next ten minutes or so, the entire base was shrouded in a rather oppressive atmosphere.
Feng bujue was like a stubborn disease that had been lurking in the base. Even though the people at the Golden Foundation knew of his existence, they could not do anything to him in the short term. He could only wait for him to appear from the passage again before he could respond.
Of course, Steven couldn’t let this continue. In fact … Not long after he predicted that brother Jue was using that tunnel, he had already contacted the higher-ups.
Soon, a team consisting of three level five security personnel would rush to the site to take over the command of the facility and be responsible for ” Austin,”this rat.
But …
Steven would never have thought that twenty minutes after brother Jue stole SCP-1998, something unbelievable would happen.
At that moment, the secret door of the B7 surveillance floor was opened.
Feng bujue held Billy in one hand and raised the other over his head as he walked out of the tunnel.
Not far behind brother Jue was Professor Jonathan, who was ‘escorting’ brother Jue with an assault rifle.
“Hey! Hey! “Don’t be rash, look carefully …” The moment Feng bujue exited the corridor, he was welcomed by all the security guards on that floor. They pointed their guns at him.”…I have surrendered, everyone.”
“Do you think we’re idiots?” The next second, Steven, who was standing at the front of the crowd, said coldly,”
Before he finished, the gun in his hand had already turned to Dr. Jonathan, who was behind brother Jue.””Dr. Jonathan! Please put down your weapon!”
