Chapter 138: The Truth

Dr. Li was tied to a chair inside the interrogation room while Zhang Jue sat behind a table. It was set in the same room at the time when Zhang Jue had just arrived in this world. Zhang Jue removed Dr. Li's blindfold, only to find that two of his eyes were gone, leaving only two eye sockets. Zhang Jue did not have the slightest sympathy for Dr. Li's ordeal because it was entirely his own doing. Compared to the security squad personnel who had been killed, his retribution was not enough.

Zhang Jue's tone was calm, "Li Chengming, I'm warning you for the last time. If you dared to lie to me, I would make you regret it. You know me enough when it comes to this."

Dr. Li coughed. Obviously, his throat had been seriously damaged. Only after a long time did he say in a hoarse voice, "I have nothing to gain by lying to you now. I just want to die."

Zhang Jue looked at him, "Even for a D-Class personnel, it shouldn't be hard to die if you're really serious about it."

"Heh!" Dr. Li tilted his face, seemingly remembering those horrible experiences. Then, he slowly raised his right hand and scratched down hard on his left arm. His strength was so great that his nails had even gouged into the flesh, leaving several long bloodstains.

Zhang Jue didn't know what he was going to do and just watched it with a cold gaze. A minute later, Dr. Li stopped his self-harm. His left arm was already a bloody mess. But soon, Zhang Jue noticed something fishy.

Beneath the skin of Dr. Li's arm were not normal muscles; many flesh-colored worms were wriggling in his flesh and looked very disgusting. The worms were exposed to the air, and after a few died, the rest began to secrete a kind of mucus.

Dr. Li's skin soon began to dry, the scabs falling off, and eventually recovered under the effect of the worms. During the countless trials of being D-Class personnel, Dr. Lis seemed to have acquired a self-healing ability, yet at a high cost. That's why he's been able to survive until now. But it seems that it has caused him great pain. Unable to seek life, unable to seek death.

Zhang Jue calmly watched the scene and said, "I know, I promise you. As long as you tell me everything you know, I'll help you end your suffering."

...

Dr. Li was an inside man sent into the Foundation by the Chaos Insurgency, something the Foundation had investigated very clearly, and Zhang Jue had read the reports. But the previous investigation had actually left quite a lot of doubts.

For example. How exactly did the intruder, Mr. Samuel, enter Site-14? Where did the Site-14 Defense Blueprint come from?

The person in charge of the interrogation work at that time was Lei Shan. With his ability, Zhang Jue believed he would not ignore that the information was unreasonable. Either he really hadn't investigated them, or the interrogation records provided to him by the Foundation had been processed twice.

Zhang Jue believed that it should be both. They already forged some of the information so that only half of it was true, and in this case, the Foundation's techniques were already perfect. This time, Zhang Jue finally had direct access to first-hand information.

"Where do I start?" Dr. Li asked with a hoarse voice.

Maybe start from the main problem first?

Zhang Jue thought for a moment, "Let's start with why you're hostile to me."

...

A large part of the reason why a person is angered by someone else's words is because subconsciously, he agrees with the other person's words. For example, if a person mocks Yao Ming for being short, he will never take it seriously. If you are handsome, but someone says you are ugly, you will only laugh because you know he is just jealous.

But if you are short-minded and happen to meet a sarcastic person, then you will definitely be taunted. The verbal attacks of others combined with their own underlying comment are the root cause of some people being attacked to death.

According to the clues that Zhang Jue later found at Site-14, Dr. Li was not gay at all. The reason behind Dr. Li's anger and targeting him left him a bit puzzled. The only explanation left is that Dr. Li was playing on the issue.

He deliberately made others think he was angered by Zhang Jue's words, thus hiding his true purpose. As a Foundation doctor, how could he be so naive?

As expected, when Zhang Jue said these words. Dr. Li suddenly laughed, laughing miserably.

"Ahem, Zhang Jue. I really underestimated you. If only I hadn't listened to them at the time..."

"Chaos Insurgency?" Zhang Jue asked. In Zhang Jue's mind, it was the obvious answer, and he was just asking casually. But unexpectedly, Dr. Li shook his head.

Zhang Jue let out a chortle, "Don't tell me it's the Foundation."

Dr. Li shook his head again, "To be honest, I don't know what that organization is called either."

Zhang Jue tilted his head as if Dr. Li's eyes were still there. He would have been able to see that at this moment, Zhang Jue's face had a few big words written all over it, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"I'm not teasing you. There's no reason or need for me to tease you now." Dr. Li continued, "The first night you were captured by the Foundation, a mysterious man found me. He knew I was a Chaos Insurgency Member and threatened me with it. He asked me to find an opportunity to kill you, but many researchers were watching the whole interrogation, so I couldn't do it, and then you broke free from the handcuffs. That's what one of them told me."

Zhang Jue placed his arms on the table and crossed his fingers, "So you put on a good show about being angered by me, found some pretty lame reasons, and even went so far as to bet against me."

"Yes." Dr. Li said, "The Foundation has always been known for its rigor, if not for that. As a Foundation researcher and a spy for the Chaos Insurgency, how could I have done something so stupid." Zhang Jue nodded, sort of acknowledging Dr. Li's statement.

At the time, he hadn't treated the incident as suspicious because he had just crossed over and didn't yet know if the style of the place was the same as those documents he had read.

Zhang Jue looked at him, "You said before that the person who pushed me toward Shirley, that is SCP-053, in the corridor wasn't you."

"Right." Dr. Li sighed, "How could I do something like that when all I had to do was save my life. The Foundation is full of cameras, and I just got into trouble with you. Do you think a normal person would do something like that?"

It must be said there were two Dr. Li at Site-14. At this time, he was thinking clearly, and he could indeed be trusted as a companion. This also shows from the side that he was able to become a spy left by the Chaos Insurgency at the Foundation by his own strength alone.

"Then do you know who is the person who pushed me?" Zhang Jue asked.

Dr. Li shook his head.

Zhang Jue asked again, "Does the Foundation know about the matter of you being threatened by the mysterious person?"

Dr. Li shook his head again.

"You were waiting for that mysterious person to save you, weren't you?"

Dr. Li did not respond.

Zhang Jue said, "It's already too late, and you know very well that it's impossible for him to come."

Dr. Li let out a long breath, "Yes."

"How do you know that they are an organization and not a person?"

"They came to me several times, with each time came a different person, and the Foundation's Defense Blueprint was given to me by them as a deposit to kill you." Dr. Li coughed a few times. He forced his body from time to time and said, "On their arms, they all have a mark printed on them."

"What mark?" Zhang Jue instinctively felt that this matter was important.

"It seems to be a few English letters. It seems to be MRW. Yes, it's MRW."

Dr. Li fell silent after saying this, and that was all the information he could provide to Zhang Jue. He then sat in his chair, thought about it for a long time, before finally standing up and walking over to Dr. Li.

"After all is said and done, you just dump all the information on an unknown organization and don't even know who they are really is. How do you want me to believe you?"

Dr. Li coughed a few times, "I just told you everything I know. Whether you believe it or not is not in my consideration. I just hope you will keep your word and give an end to me."
