Chapter 826 The Ultimate Rescue (XVIII)

Steven is not stupid, he knows very well... Since Brother Jue has SCP-1998 in his hand, Dr. Jonathan is very likely to have been controlled by him. As long as he gives the doctor an order like "fully assist my action", the doctor will become his loyal minion.

Therefore, Steven's first defense is not the unarmed Brother Jue, but Jonathan holding an assault rifle.

"Oh~ Don't shoot, Steven." Dr. Jonathan said, and really put down the gun, "Don't be nervous, I'm not brainwashed." As he spoke, he put the assault rifle in his hand on the floor, "Whether you believe it or not, I found an opportunity to subdue him."

"Excuse me, Dr. Jonathan..." Steven still raised the gun in his hand, "Based on my understanding of you... I don't believe it." After that, he gestured to the two security guards on his right, indicating that they should come forward to capture Brother Jue and the doctor.

"Okay... I understand." Jonathan raised his hands, without any intention of resisting.

Feng Bujue just stood there, holding the puppet in one hand, expressionless.

Soon, both of them were handcuffed and kneeling on the ground, and four assault rifles were aimed at them from different angles; Billy was taken away by a security guard and placed on a metal table several meters away.

"Okay, guys, now I'm handcuffed, can you listen to me?" Dr. Jonathan seemed relieved after being subdued. He looked up at his colleagues around him and asked.

"Don't worry, doctor, there will be a chance to tell you." Steven stepped forward and responded, "Considering that you have been alone with a mind-controlled SCP and an out-of-control D-class personnel for more than 20 minutes... We have every reason to let you go through a standard polygraph and psychological assessment process."

"Speaking of that SCP..." Dr. Jonathan continued at this time, "It's in my right pocket now."

Hearing this, Steven's expression changed slightly, and he immediately winked at the security guard closest to Jonathan; the latter understood and immediately walked to the doctor's side. Carefully he reached into the pocket of his white coat.

"It seems the doctor didn't lie." The security guard successfully took out SCP-1998 and said to Steven.

"I've said it all... I haven't been brainwashed." Jonathan continued, "You can figure it out by calculating the time yourself..." He paused and explained, "The radiation of 1998 lasts for about 19 minutes. After the brainwashing is completed, the affected person will experience an extremely painful 'trauma period'. It will take at least 30 minutes to wait until the affected person regains mobility..."

"He's right." At this time, Feng Bujue actually chimed in, "From the time I started 1998 to now. The total is only 20 minutes. Even if we ignore the time we walked in the passage, it is not enough to complete the brainwashing."

"Shut up." Steven glared at Brother Jue fiercely and shouted, "You have no right to speak here."

"Hehe..." Brother Jue smiled, "I'm just correcting some basic errors in your reasoning, Steven." He paused for half a second and added, "By the way... You are Steven, right? It sounds like..."

Puff——

A punch interrupted Brother Jue's words. It also swollen one side of his cheek.

"Yes, I am Steven." Steven shook his hands, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Austin."

"Pfft..." Brother Jue spat out a mouthful of blood foam. He laughed, "Hehehe... As expected of the adjutant cultivated by Cosmo, the way you greet people is really similar."

Steven knew that the other party mentioned the name of Chief Cosmo to irritate him. He would not fall for this.

"Hmph... Austin, you will pay the price for your behavior, believe me." Steven suppressed his anger. He sneered and replied to Brother Jue, then looked at Jonathan, "Sorry, Doctor, no matter what, you still have to go through the basic process. I can't release you now, I hope you can understand."

"Okay, I understand." Jonathan shrugged.

A few seconds later, under Steven's order, two security guards helped the doctor up and prepared to take him to solitary confinement.

"Wait..." Just as the doctor turned around and was about to leave, Steven suddenly thought of something, "Doctor, I want to hear you briefly first... How did you subdue Austin?"

"Uh..." Jonathan hesitated for half a second and replied, "Speaking of it... It may be a little unbelievable..." His expression became a little weird, "He fell down..."

"What?" Steven seemed to not understand.

"He was originally walking behind me, holding an assault rifle in one hand and SCP-1998 in the other, and forcing me to move forward." Jonathan described in detail, "Suddenly, I heard him scream, and then heard the sound of him falling to the ground... Then... The two weapons in his hands slid along the metal floor to my feet." He curled his lips, "So, I picked up the assault rifle and 1998, threw the puppet to him, and then according to the road signs in the passage, I took him directly here."

This speech... Don't say Steven doesn't believe it, no one present will believe it...

"Okay, doctor, thank you for your cooperation." Steven waved his hand, and the security personnel took the doctor away.

"What?" After Jonathan was taken out of the monitoring center, Feng Bujue looked at Steven and said, "You don't seem to believe what the doctor said?"

"If what he said is true, then there are only two possibilities..." After more than ten seconds, Steven has also made several inferences in his mind, "First, you were deliberately subdued by the doctor; second... your luck is so bad that people doubt your IQ."

"Hehe... Indeed." Feng Bujue smiled and replied, "As a hijacker, he fell flat on his face while escorting the hostages forward, and the two weapons in his hands just slid to the hostage's feet... If this situation is not intentional, then the probability is too low."

"Don't talk nonsense to me..." Steven heard this and his tone changed, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over your level 5 pass card."

"Pass..." Feng Bujue continued in a deep voice, "In Billy's pocket." He glanced at the puppet in the distance.

"Hmm?" Steven felt something strange when he said this, "Why put it in his..."

"Because..." At this moment, a deep voice sounded on the radio, "I want to play a game with you..." (To be continued..)
