I’m In Charge of SCP - Chapter 492
In North America, thousands of miles away from the Swiss headquarters, the sun is shining and the weather is cloudless.
Since the end of the day two months ago, the sun has shone on this land for the first time.
Inside the vineyard, Leshan wears a straw hat and holds a pair of scissors to cut off those unwanted branches.
His complexion was darkened by the sunlight, but it also seemed healthier than before.
With a creak, the fence gate rang.
A woman in a suit walked in.
Leshan bent down and did not look back. While pruning the vines, he said, “Sit down first, there is tea and coffee over there.”
Ning Suiyu did not sit down, but walked into the grape trellis and came behind him.
“I really admire you,” she said. “Under such circumstances, you are probably the only one who can be so leisurely.”
Leshan finished pruning the last vine, and the cat walked out of it with a waist.
“I’m an idler, that’s all I can do.”
Under the leadership of Leshan, the two walked into the farm.
There is almost no change here from the last time Ning Suiyu came.
It’s just that it’s winter, and a fire is already burning in the fireplace.
Ning Suiyu rubbed her hands, clenched the slightly hot teacup, frowned and said, “Since you can use equipment to control the temperature and humidity in the vineyard, you can’t install a heater in this room.”
Leshan smiled and put his hand in front of the fireplace: “This is an old house. It’s too troublesome to install heating. Besides, I’m usually alone, so this fireplace is enough.”
“You really are—” Ning Suiyu said a half sentence, then stopped talking.
Because of the Leshui incident, Leshan was implicated, demoted by the Administration, left the power center, and became a farmer in this remote farm.
Ning Suiyu always thought that the rest of his life would probably be like this.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with that.
At least you can live a peaceful life.
But later Ning Suiyu realized that she thought Leshan was too simplistic.
Leshan is a man who does not show the mountains or waters. After that incident, he has been farming here.
But to Ning Suiyu’s surprise, even Martin Hill, the webmaster of site333, belonged to him.
As long as he wanted to, he could still call the shots in the Administration.
But he didn’t, even more low-key than before.
If it wasn’t for the end of the world, he would never have used his men.
Compared with the sharp-edged Leshui, Leshan is more gentle and more like a Confucian scholar.
Leshan picked up the teacup on the table and blew it, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.
Ning Suiyu didn’t speak, she knew very well that Leshan was not looking for her at such a time for the simple purpose of reminiscing about the past.
Zhang Jue is fighting on the front line, and his life and death are uncertain. Leshan must have something very important.
So even though she was busy organizing the forces she could mobilize to carry out the second reinforcement to Europe, she still came after a phone call from Leshan.
“Master Ning, how long have you known Consul Zhang?”
“It’s been about a year, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, I’m just curious and want to ask.”
“Oh.”
Ning Suiyu’s expression was a little unnatural, she didn’t know what medicine was sold in Leshan’s gourd.
She is actually short-tempered, and if the opposite is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that she will be impatient long ago.
Leshan took a sip of tea and asked again, “Master Ning, what do you think of Consul Zhang?”
“Huh?” Ning Suiyu heard that there was something wrong with what he said.
Leshan laughed.
“Master Ning, I have a question, which may be a bit arrogant, but you need to answer me truthfully, and then I can make a decision.”
Although Leshan had a smile on his face, his eyes were unusually deep.
Ning Suiyu is also a high-ranking person, but compared with Leshan, his aura is not at the same level.
Seeing that Leshan said solemnly, Ning Suiyu also nodded.
“Mr. Le, please speak.”
Leshan looked at her and asked, “Master Ning, do you like Consul Zhang?”
“…”
Ning Suiyu raised her head instantly and stared at Leshan with wide eyes, as if to say, what do you mean?
Leshan seemed to have expected Ning Suiyu’s reaction long ago, and said apologetically, “I know this question is a bit abrupt. You may not answer Ning, but if you do, I hope you can tell the truth.”
Leshan has never been a joker, and every word he said was carefully thought out.
Ning Suiyu could guess that he was evaluating the relationship between himself and Zhang Jue.
So do you like Zhang Jue or not?
Under the pressure of Leshan, Ning Suiyu forced himself to face this problem for the first time.
Although Ning Suiyu is a woman, she has always had her own pride.
It can be seen from the name she changed for herself that she is very strong.
She is better than most men.
Before Zhang Jue appeared, she even dismissed men.
Even in the days after Zhang Jue appeared, she felt that what Zhang Jue could do could be done by her.
However, she didn’t know when she started to care about Zhang Jue.
Someone slandered Zhang Jue in front of No. 1, and she helped Zhang Jue speak without a trace.
In the end, he even drafted a feasibility report to fully recruit Zhang Jue.
But she is a woman, and Zhang Jue already has Yang Xue, so Ning Suiyu’s thoughts are buried so deeply that she didn’t even notice it.
In fact, think about it carefully, if she doesn’t like Zhang Jue, why is Zhang Jue the first person that comes to her mind when she is desperate.
Why after Zhang Jue left, she desperately tried to unite the remaining power of the Administration.
Ning Suiyu is not a hypocritical person. After thinking about all this, she nodded to Leshan.
“Yes, I like him.”
In front of a man, admit that you like another man, and that man has a girlfriend.
This is not easy for any woman, even if she is Ning Suiyu.
But after admitting this, Ning Suiyu suddenly felt relieved.
Probably this is one of the reasons why women need a “girlfriend”.
But Leshan is not that kind of green tea bitch.
It is said that women are born actors. Although Leshan watched Ning Suiyu’s expression change, he didn’t know whether she was telling the truth or a lie, but it didn’t matter.
This is the last decision of his life, even if it is wrong, it is wrong.
After Ning Suiyu nodded, Leshan smiled and drank the tea in his hand.
Then he clapped his hands, and then a man came out of the back room—the former deputy director of experiments at site14, Simmons.
He also held a laptop in his hand.
He was from Zhang Jue, and he seemed to be studying computers. Ning Suiyu had a little impression of him.
But he should be transferred to site 15. It is said that the place has been bombed. It is probably due to Leshan that he came here alive.
Ning Suiyu didn’t know what Leshan meant by bringing him in front of him.
Two fingers of Simmons’ left hand were blown off, but fortunately it did not affect his typing code.
It’s just that he, who was originally a straight man, became more silent after this incident.
“He has 079 in his hand.”
Leshan introduced.
Ning Suiyu’s eyes widened: “Is that AI?”
Simmons nodded.
After site15 was bombed, only the two of them survived.
He ported the AI program from the desktop to this laptop.
In the days when he was buried in the ground, only this computer was with him.
Three days ago, Leshan rescued him from the ruins of site15.
If it was a few days later, he would die because the supplies were exhausted.
…
“I gave him to you, please help me protect him, I believe he will be useful to you.” Leshan said.
Ning Suiyu nodded solemnly.
She is not very proficient in electronic equipment, but she has heard of the name of this AI.
With the help of this AI, the world’s networks can be hacked into.
The Authority will become deaf and blind.
And if this thing falls into the hands of the enemy, then its blow is also devastating.
After introducing the two sides, Simmons left with the computer in his arms.
Leshan took out another document and handed it to Ning Suiyu.
Ning Suiyu reached out and took it, and found that it was a list.
The above is marked with pens of different colors.
“This is the list of all the people who follow me. There are 6 station chiefs, 8 deputy station chiefs, 15 mobile task forces, and a number of agents. The ones circled in blue ink can be completely trusted. The people who are circled in yellow ink are those who need to give favors to do things, and those who are circled in red are the spies that the enemy has placed in me.”
Leshan stopped when he said this. Ning Suiyu is a leader when it comes to his mind and skills. As long as she handed this list to her, she would know what to do. The rest, any more talk would be a waste of time.
“I have given them an order. In the days to come, they will all be at your disposal. Here is a list of items and equipment that I have protected these days. You can use them.”
Listening to Leshan’s tone, it seems that there is a kind of taste of carelessness.
No wonder he asked Ning Suiyu if he liked Zhang Jue.
He was planning to throw all the cards in his hand to Ning Suiyu.
Ning Suiyu suddenly had an ominous premonition, she frowned and said, “Leshan, why are you telling me all these secrets, what are you going to do?”
Leshan smiled: “Don’t worry about me, everyone in this world has their own responsibilities, I just try my best to make the world as normal as possible.”
Leshan didn’t want to tell her the truth, Ning Suiyu wanted to refuse, but couldn’t say it.
She understands very well that, as Leshan said, at this stage, everyone has their own mission.
Including Smith and Du Jingtian who went to Europe to support Zhang Jue, everyone risked their lives.
If everyone cherishes their lives, then the final result will definitely be finished together.
Ning Suiyu breathed a sigh of relief: “I know, I will try my best.”
Leshan finally smiled at her: “Thank you.”
…
Ning Suiyu was sent away, leaving Leshan alone.
He leaned back in his chair and tasted wine made from the grapes he had grown by himself.
The wine gets better with age, and he’s only been here for a year.
However, the new wine has a different flavor.
He put the wine glass aside.
Pull out an old book from the shelf, take out the bookmark inside – it’s a photo.
The photo shows a couple leading a pair of twins laughing happily at the gate of the amusement park.
This is the only photo of their family left.
Leshui was left to him.
Now, their family will be reunited.
Leshan drank the wine in the glass in one go.
After taking a shower, I changed into the suit I hadn’t worn for a long time.
He came to the basement, unscrewed the secret door of the wine cellar, and walked in.
Inside is a holding room.
The holding room was empty, save for a set of mahogany furniture—including a high-back chair, a desk, and an ornate throne.
Leshan didn’t hesitate, he stepped forward and sat on the high-back chair.
Soon, the furniture reacted.
On the gorgeous throne opposite the desk, there was a looming figure.
“My dear friend, is there anything you want to trade with me? As long as your price is right, I will sell you even your soul.”
…
Yes, this set of furniture is the famous 738 (with Momooyi).
When someone makes it to the high-backed chair, a “devil” will appear on the opposite throne.
The devil looks different every time, and he induces people sitting across from him to make deals with him.
The content of the transaction is “fair and reasonable”, and if you want to gain something, you must lose the corresponding thing.
The Authority once wanted to use his hand to get rid of 682, but was ruthlessly rejected, as the reason was that the Authority could not afford the price.
Le Shui once traded with him and passed information to Zhang Jue in a very secret way.
Since then, Zhang Jue has been trying to find out where this thing is.
He didn’t know that after some tossing and turning, this set of mahogany furniture was transferred to Leshan through the hands of Du Jingtian.
And Leshan has never talked to anyone.
If it is possible, he really wants to never use it in his life, but since it is used, it must be used for value. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Leshan sat in the chair and said, “It’s the same thing as before. Help me send something to the management advisor named Zhang Jue. The price is my life.”
“Wow, young man, have you thought about it? I remember telling you that as long as you promise to hand over your subordinates to me, I can help you with this.”
“No, I’ve thought about it very clearly, just use my own life.”
“Stubbornly obsessed.” The person opposite looked very unhappy.
Although the quality of life in Leshan is very high, there are not so many people who fit together. He couldn’t understand why this person would reject him and let someone else die in his place, wouldn’t it be good?
“Let me tell you, the guy you let me transport is too big, and the place to go is too dangerous. If it weren’t for our friendship, I would be more reluctant to do this than buying and selling with you…”
The man rambled, but the deal was done.
Leshan tidied up his clothes and smiled at him: “Then I’ll trouble you.”
