I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 89: Assassination Part 2

Zhang Jue sat in the restaurant next to the airport, his right thumb and forefinger cupping his chin with a serious expression. This was a habitual action when he was thinking. Whenever he encountered trouble, he would put his mind into high gear. If the brain is compared to a CPU, then his brain is now overclocked. From the time he left home this morning, he felt that something was wrong around him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He had breakfast, checked out of his hotel room, and took a taxi to the airport. All simple and normal things, but he felt something was out of the ordinary. Was he being too sensitive? Zhang Jue frowned for the first time. He had a bad feeling that the return trip would not be so smooth.

"Sir, can I sit here?" The little girl's voice came. Zhang Jue looked up, only to see a girl of sixteen or seventeen looking at him, blond hair and blue eyes, very beautiful. There were many people in the restaurant, and it was common to share a table. Zhang Jue nodded his head.

The little girl put her luggage aside. Then she lay down on the table and looked at Zhang Jue. He looked around to ensure that the little girl was looking at herself.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Sir, I lost my wallet. Can you treat me to a meal?" The little girl said with a smile.

"..."

The little girl had red lips and white teeth, and her big blue eyes were very moving. Her look was not at all like someone who had lost their wallet. Even an ordinary person would not be fooled, let alone Zhang Jue. But unpredictably, Zhang Jue did not refuse her and pushed the menu to one side in front of her.

"Order what you want to eat."

Zhang Jue was not confused by her appearance. He invited her to eat because after this little girl sat next to him, that uncomfortable feeling he had disappeared surprisingly. I don't know if it was just his illusion. The little girl ordered only one pasta dish and pushed the menu to him again.

"Would you like something to eat?"

Zhang Jue glanced at the prices on it, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"You eat yourself. I'm not hungry."

The little girl ate her pasta without any hesitation, and Zhang Jue had never seen a girl eat so quickly. In less than five minutes, a large plate of pasta had been wiped out by her.

"Still eating?" Zhang Jue asked.

"No, I'm full, thank you." The little girl smiled, her eyes brightening a bit. Hearing her say that, Zhang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

The little girl suddenly asked, "Are you a Chinese person?"

Zhang Jue nodded his head.

The little girl asked again, "Then what are you doing here?"

It was actually a bit rude to ask so many questions to a stranger, but Zhang Jue didn't refuse to answer. Instead, he told the truth. "I promised someone that I would come to visit a friend of his."

"So that's how it is." The little girl lowered her head and murmured.

"What?" Zhang Jue didn't hear her clearly.

"Nothing." The little girl raised her head with a faint glint in her eyes, "Thank you for the food. I'm leaving. Goodbye."

Zhang Jue looked at her back and felt some familiarity. He should have seen her somewhere but couldn't remember anyway.

This was just a small hiccup before Zhang Jue boarded the plane. Two hours later, he entered the airport. However, the moment he stepped into the airport gate, a bad feeling struck him again.

There is a movie called "Final Destination". At the beginning of the movie, the main character foresaw that something would happen to the plane. Zhang Jue was feeling this way now. He always felt that something would happen to the flight he was on. To be precise, the flight would go wrong because he was on it.

Unlike the few henchmen he had caught in the cemetery before, this time, he couldn't even feel their presence. Zhang Jue could only act on his instincts, and no amount of caution was too much when it came to his life. So decisively, he withdrew his ticket and changed to another flight three hours later.

Three hours passed quickly. When the announcement "Mr. Zhang Jue, please board the plane" sounded, he sat motionless in his seat as if he hadn't heard it. Ten minutes later, the announcement stopped, and the plane took off. Zhang Jue got up and bought another flight to China in two hours.

After another two hours, the announcement "Mr. Zhang Jue, please board the plane" sounded again.

The announcement lasted for a few minutes, and just when the crew thought that Mr. Zhang Jue had stood them up again, Zhang Jue dashed all the way to the boarding gate with his luggage and stepped onto the plane at the last second before it closed.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Jue was a little tired from fighting with the air for hours. If he couldn't get out of danger this way, he could only blame his bad luck, or the other side was smart enough.

He put his luggage on the luggage rack and was about to close his eyes to rest when the person sitting behind him suddenly knocked on his chair.

"Hello, can I switch seats with you? I'm having a bit of a hard time." Zhang Jue turned around and saw a woman in her thirties looking at him with embarrassment. Her small belly was slightly bulging, and she looked pregnant.

Because Zhang Jue's seat was by the window, most people felt more comfortable sitting there even though it couldn't be opened. Probably because of the effect on their hearts. Zhang Jue nodded and changed seats with her.

After sitting down, the plane slowly took off. Feeling the oppression from the extra weight, Zhang Jue felt a little better. The roar of the plane was the best sleeping pill, and most people put on their eye masks and prepared to sleep. Zhang Jue closed his eyes. It would be dangerous for him to fall asleep in this situation, but the necessary rest had to be taken.

The sound of people talking diminished, the flight attendants came over to check the seat belts, and the lights went down. I don't know how long it took. Zhang Jue felt something was wrong. In the darkness, he opened his eyes and felt the situation around him.

Quiet, unusually quiet. Other than the roar of the plane, no other sound reached his ears. Not even the breathing of a human being. Zhang Jue stood up.

Found that all the passengers were no longer in their seats. He was the only one left in the large passenger cabin. Heh, I still hadn't been able to escape it. When this happened, Zhang Jue's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally let go. Rather than fear the unknown, the situation that was now approaching the end of the picture excited him.

Come on, come on, let me see what kind of people dare to mess with me.

He squeezed his fingers together failed to find someone for him to beat up. It is difficult to solve his hatred. In the darkness, he felt towards the cockpit of the plane. The other side wants to play this kind of game, and he is willing to accompany it 'till the end.

As long as he occupies the cockpit, he is not afraid that the enemy will appear. Just as he reached the center of the cabin, the lights that had been off suddenly all came on. The sudden lighting made it impossible for Zhang Jue to see, so he immediately closed his eyes and caused a disturbance in his ears.

He and Chen Xiao had learned to listen to the sound to identify the location, and if the enemy wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak up on him, he would lose. But a few seconds passed, and there was still silence. Except for his breathing, there was no other sound.

Could it be that he was just overthinking it? Zhang Jue slowly opened his eyes. When he could see the scene in front of him, he slowly opened his mouth, his jaw stretched. His expression was as if he had seen something incredible and was shocked beyond words.
