Steven was not stupid. He knew very well that since brother Jue had SCP-1998, it was very likely that he had Dr. Johnathan under his control. As long as he gave an order similar to “fully a.s.sist me,” the doctor would become his loyal minion.

Therefore, the first thing Steven had to be wary of was not the unarmed brother Jue, but Johnathan, who was armed with an a.s.sault rifle.

“Oh, don’t shoot, Steven.” Dr. Johnathan said and put down the gun.”Don’t be nervous, I’m not brainwashed.” As he spoke, he had already placed the a.s.sault rifle in his hand on the floor.”Whether you believe it or not, I found an opportunity to subdue him.”

“With all due respect, Dr. Johnathan …” Steven still held the gun in his hand.”From what I know of you … I don’t believe you.” Then, he gestured to the two security guards on his right, signaling them to go forward and capture brother Jue and the doctor.

“Alright…I can understand.” Johnathan raised his hands, showing no signs of resistance.

Feng bujue also stood where he was, holding the wooden figurine with one hand, expressionless.

Not long after, the two of them were cuffed and kneeled on the ground. There were four a.s.sault rifles aimed at them from different angles. Billy, on the other hand, was taken away by a security guard and placed on a metal table several meters away.

“Alright, guys, I’m cuffed now. Can you hear me out?” Dr. Jonathan seemed to be relieved after being subdued. He looked up at his colleagues and asked.

“Don’t worry, doctor, I’ll tell you when I have the chance. ” Steven stepped forward and replied,”considering that you’ve been alone with a mind-controlled SCP and a cla.s.s D who lost control for more than 20 minutes … We have every reason to make you go through a standard lie detector test and psychological a.s.sessment process.”

“Speaking of the SCP …” Dr. Johnathan said,”it’s in my right pocket now.”

Hearing that, Steven’s expression changed slightly. He immediately gave a look to the security guard closest to Jonathan. The latter immediately walked to the doctor’s side and carefully put his hand into the pocket of his white coat.

“It seems that the doctor didn’t lie.” The security guard successfully took out the SCP-1998 and looked at Steven.

“I told you … I wasn’t brainwashed.” “You’ll know if you calculate the time yourself …” Johnathan said. He paused for a moment and explained,”the 1998 rays last for about 19 minutes. After the brainwas.h.i.+ng is completed, the affected person will also go through an extremely painful ‘injury period’. To wait for the affected person to recover his ability to move, it will take more than 30 minutes altogether …”

“He’s right,” At that moment, Feng bujue chimed in from the side.”From the time I started 1998 until now, it has only been twenty minutes or so. Even if we ignore the time we spent walking through the tunnel, there is no time to complete the brainwas.h.i.+ng.”

“You shut up.” Steven glared at brother Jue and yelled,”you have no right to speak here.”

“Haha …” Brother Jue chuckled.”I’m just correcting some fundamental mistakes in your reasoning, Steven.” He paused for half a second and added,”by the way … You’re Steven, right? From the sound of it, it seems …”

Pfft!

An old fist interrupted brother Jue’s words and hit one side of his face.

“That’s right, I’m Steven,” Steven waved his hand.”Nice to see you, Mr. Austin.”

“Pfft …” Brother Jue spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed.”Hehehe … No wonder you’re the Adjutant that Kozmo spent so much time training. The way you guys greet people is really similar.”

Steven knew that the other party had mentioned officer Kozmo’s name to anger him. He would not fall for such a trick.

“Hmph … Austin, you will pay for your actions. Trust me.” Steven suppressed his anger and sneered at brother Jue. Then he looked at Johnathan.”I’m sorry, doctor. No matter what, you have to go through the basic process. I can’t release you now. I hope you can understand.”

“Alright, I understand.” Jonathan shrugged.

A few seconds later, under Steven’s orders, two security guards helped the doctor up and were ready to take him to solitary confinement.

“Wait …” Just as the doctor was about to leave, Steven suddenly thought of something.”Doctor, I want to hear a simple explanation from you first … How did you subdue Austin?”

“Uh …” Johnathan hesitated for half a second and replied,”Speaking of which … It might be a little unbelievable …” His expression became a little strange.”He fell …”

“What?” Steven seemed to not understand.

“He was originally walking behind me, holding an a.s.sault rifle in one hand and an SCP-1998 in the other. He was escorting me forward.” Johnathan described in detail,”suddenly, I heard him cry out, and then I heard the sound of him falling to the ground … And then … The two weapons in his hands slid along the metal ground to my feet.” He curled his lips.”So, I picked up the a.s.sault rifle and the 1998, threw the puppet to him, and then escorted him here according to the road signs in the pa.s.sage.”

This excuse … Not only did Steven not believe it, but no one present would believe it …

“Okay, doctor, thank you for your cooperation.” Steven waved his hand, and the security guards took the doctor away.

“What’s wrong?” After Johnathan was led out of the surveillance Center, Feng bujue turned to Steven.”You don’t seem to believe the doctor’s words?”

“If what he said is true, then there are only two possibilities …” After more than ten seconds, Steven had already made several inferences in his mind.”First, you were deliberately subdued by the doctor. Secondly … Your luck is so bad that people are starting to doubt your intelligence. ”

“Ha … Indeed.” Feng bujue replied with a smile,”as a hijacker, to fall on the ground while escorting the hostage and cause the two weapons in his hands to slide to the feet of the hostage … If this is not intentional, the probability of that happening is too low.”

“Don’t beat around the bush …” Hearing this, Steven’s tone changed.”Cut the c.r.a.p and hand over your level five pa.s.s.”

“The access card, is it?” Feng bujue said with a low voice.”It’s in Billy’s pocket.” He glanced at the puppet in the distance.

“What?” As soon as he said that, Steven felt a strange feeling.”Why did you put his …”

“Because …” At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the broadcast,”I want to play a game with you …”
