Chapter 145: Restoration of Classified Videos

"It's a cold night that hurt my feelings, and I can't pity anyone who felt the same as mine."

"Invited him to drink three bottles of wine to destroy our liver and get drunk and tell the stories each other to haunt our dreams for five nights long."

"Stories about the beauty and the beast relationship, but without the connection to the flowers."

"The sun and the moon can't live together in a single moment. It was also difficult for them to meet."

"And the story continues. But it says that after I entered SCP-682's containment room, I fought with that damn lizard for 300 rounds, rode on its back, and controlled it. However, SCP-682 is such a divine beast that it could not stand such insults. It desperately shook its body, trying to drop me to the ground. When I couldn't take it anymore, the faces of everyone here came to my mind, and I said, "I can't be a disgrace to all of you at Site-14", so I leaped up, grabbed a cable, turned it into a whip, and continued to fight the beast."

Zhang Jue was in Site-14's Cafeteria during the lunch break, telling the story of what happened before and after he met SCP-682. Of course, he didn't tell the whole truth, but he was influenced by his father, and his story wasn't that bad.

Even if the Site-14 people wouldn't believe his story, it was a really good and entertaining story for after-dinner entertainment.

He didn't explain the part that he ran away from there. Because on that same day, when he returned to Site-14, an investigation order from the Foundation headquarters also came to him. The investigation order came from the new rotating O5 Member, O5-12.

Zhang Jue was ordered to return to Site-19 to assist in the investigation of the SCP-682 containment breach incident. This order somehow leaked out. Site-14 colleagues then learned that the original Zhang Jue had disappeared and gone to the headquarters.

Zhang Jue is a thief with a weak heart. This kind of investigation order on him is simply a waste of paper and time because he will not go to Site-19. Who can tell what has been spitted out from SCP-682's stomach?

However, this problem soon spread throughout the site. Zhang Jue usually was cool with people on the site. Everyone made the same enemy. The people from the headquarters were also mad at him. In fact, also because O5-12 has been explained regarding the situation, he doesn't want to make it difficult for Zhang Jue.

Although the problem was soon settled, everyone would come to ask Zhang Jue what had happened. Some were concerned, and some were curious. That's how the whole problem came to an end.

After lunch, Zhang Jue would speak for a while. Although most people knew that what Zhang Jue said was not necessarily true because of secrecy and other reasons, they were still willing to listen to him. It also shows that after a few months of living together, the staff of Site-14 has really considered Zhang Jue as one of their own. Except for one person. Site-14's new Deputy of Experiment Supervisor, Dave Simmons.

Yang Xue was left behind in Chlamydia, leaving the Deputy of Experiment Supervisor vacant. Since Zhang Jue was gone, the headquarters sent him here.

The Experiment Supervisor Zhang Lao is already semi-retired, so this Deputy Supervisor has the same power as the original Supervisor. This means all Site-14 experiments have to be approved by him. Because he was sent in from headquarters and was a Westerner, his work did not go well at the beginning.

Only because of his strong working management was he gradually recognized by everyone, and Zhang Jue's return swept away the prestige he had originally built up.

As soon as he got off work, everyone gathered around Zhang Jue. It was impossible to say that he was not jealous. Simmons was only 30 years old and was able to hold this position, so naturally, he had his own merits. He was indeed jealous, but he kept his mind not to cross the line.

He knew that the best way to surpass others was to improve himself. He studied night and day, did experiments, and researched various SCP objects, expecting to make a breakthrough. If Zhang Jue is a rising star who came out of nowhere, then he is a representative of a person that's called zero to hero.

Since childhood, he had always believed that there was nothing that could not be solved by hard work. But soon, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue's knowledge seemed to be way beyond his comprehension. Often the conclusions he had spent days and nights sleeplessly coming to a dead-end, and Zhang Jue could just blurt out something and solve his problem.

This made him feel very frustrated.

Was there really someone who was born with a gift that knows it all?

He had originally wanted to compete with Zhang Jue, but after a month of hard work, he realized that while it was true that genius was ninety-nine percent, and hard work was only one percent. But without that one percent, the ninety-nine percent would only be endless suffering.

He began to be a little disillusioned and demoralized. He is still dedicated to working, but after that, no one saw him during his usual overnight attendance in the lab.

On this day, he was drinking on the roof of Site-14. The sound of footsteps came, and he turned around to see that it was Advisor Zhang Jue.

He had been holding back his energy to compete with Zhang Jue. He didn't usually warm up for such competitions and prepared to talk about business matters. At this moment, Zhang Jue approached him, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"Supervisor Simmons, you seem to be in a good mood." Zhang Jue greeted him.

"Well… Advisor Zhang. Sorry, my current position is still a Deputy Supervisor." Simmons said.

Zhang Jue smiled. "Simmons, although you know Chinese. You obviously don't know enough about Eastern culture, and since you're already here and it looks like you won't be going back for a long time to come home. Let me share with you some knowledge. In the East, especially Chinese, very few people add the title 'Deputy', whether it's out of politeness or something else. At least in most cases."

"I see." Simmons nodded in acceptance, "I'm not going to lie to you, Advisor Zhang. There are indeed many etiquettes I'm not clear on. If there's anything I've done wrong, I'd appreciate your guidance in the future."

Zhang Jue laughed, "I can't talk about guidance. We are learning from each other."

With this, the two naturally talked. It was only then that Simmons felt Zhang Jue's "charisma". He had seen Zhang Jue telling dirty jokes to the researchers, and he had also seen Zhang Jue sternly reprimanding the young people who were not rigorous in their work. But no matter what, everyone was blown away by his charisma.

Simmons is essentially a nerd, not to mean it's a bad thing. Zhang Jue was a man of the people. He wouldn't laugh at people who got everything through hard work. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're getting into.

After a few words of conversation, Zhang Jue learned that Simmons had majored in computer science in college. He opened his mouth and asked, "So you know how to fix computers?"

"Advisor Zhang, I studied software development as an undergraduate…."

"Wow, really? Then let me ask another question. If certain video files on my hard drives are deleted, can you recover them?"

"That's a rather difficult question. But, Advisor Zhang. Some videos that you've deleted are best to leave like that. It's not good for your health, you know."

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Jue said, "I want you to restore a surveillance video, you know?! Just kidding, my videos are confidential. With eighteen layers of encryption, how can they be deleted?"
