I, Lord of Prayer

"I didn't, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense. 💢♬ ➅9ⓢ𝓱𝓾Ж.c๏𝓜 👊🎃"

Zhou Chen instinctively denied it three times in a row, his eyes wide: "How dare you slander me out of thin air!"

"Do you want me to dig out your files from these missions again?" Jiang Che stirred his coffee leisurely.

"Well……"

He hesitated, then sighed, "Okay, I admit my methods were a bit... you know, but that's about it. They're either illegal sublimators or ruthless smugglers..."

Jiang Che interrupted him, holding up a spoon dipped in coffee: "I didn't say you did a bad job. On the contrary, you did a great job. It would be ridiculous if you were timid and hesitant."

"what?"

"What do you think the extraordinary world is like?" Jiang Che asked.

Zhou Chen thought for a moment: "Dangerous?"

"Yes, it's dangerous, don't you know that?" Jiang Che calmly took a sip of coffee: "Every mission has a chance of encountering unexpected situations. A slight oversight can lead to disaster. In such situations, decisiveness is actually the best approach."

At most, your methods were a bit crude, but that's harmless. How many ascended beings have never killed anyone?

"The most important issue is actually only one point."

Jiang Che looked into Zhou Chen's eyes and asked him:

"—Do you have any reverence for life in your heart? 🎀ൠ ❻❾Sⓗ𝕌Ｘ.co🍭🐉"

"Reverence for life?" Zhou Chen said helplessly, "Don't test me on this kind of junior high school knowledge. I've forgotten it all long ago."

"You know what I mean," Jiang Che said calmly.

  

After a long silence, Zhou Chen sighed: "To be honest, I don't like killing people. Really, I don't like death either. Death is cruel, and life is precious. It's not a pleasant feeling to kill a life with your own hands, especially when the other person is not someone who deserves to die."

But life left me with no other choice.

If given a choice, who would want to deal with corpses and blood all day long?

He couldn't be slacking off all day and living a comfortable life.

"So, if you're prepared, what's wrong with violence? It's just a means to an end, or do you not like being called a psychopathic killer?" Jiang Che said.

"I doubt many normal people would want to be called that..."

Zhou Chen scratched his head and sighed softly, "I'm just... a little scared. I've lived for so many years and never even killed a fish, but in the past month I've killed more people than all my college classmates. To be honest, I'm quite afraid that I might actually be a psychopath."

"No, you've just been suppressing your emotions for too long, which has led to violent tendencies."

Jiang Che couldn't help but recall the scene from a dozen minutes earlier when the psychologist from the Stars Society contacted her—

"Ms. Jiang Che, your employee... well, his mental state is actually quite healthy, just a little bit violent and repressed, but it's not a big problem. ♙♜ ❻9丂ʰ𝔲𝓧.𝓒Ⓞ𝐦 🐙👽"

On the projection screen, a young female psychologist named Lin Sui said, "The inner emptiness brought about by the incompleteness of the soul is a very painful torment. He has to endure this emptiness every moment. Over time, he will develop violent tendencies due to repression and needs to vent."

This violence may also be mixed with fear of death and the unknown future.

But he was able to control himself very well, and even the C-220 Bloodthirsty Chainsaw could not really affect his consciousness. This willpower can be described as extreme self-control.

According to the comparison with his pre-employment medical examination file, his personality has become more extroverted, and his sense of humor has greatly improved. He made me laugh several times during the treatment just now. He probably likes to say some funny things to relax when he is nervous.

Secondly, your worst fears did not come true. He is not the kind of person who is inherently cold-blooded and kills without blinking an eye. On the contrary, he is very clear about the value of life and knows his purpose in killing. That is why he becomes cruel and vents his violence when he kills.

Without suffering a major blow, he would not betray humanity and join the Abyss Church. However, in a life-or-death crisis, well... given his personality, he would probably surrender on the spot, infiltrate the church, and find an opportunity to defect.

In conclusion, your employees' mental well-being is normal; they just need more care and attention from their supervisors.

"Oh, by the way, we need to be careful about the side effects of the D-394 Mind-Concentrating Necklace. Desire is the most basic human emotion. With desire, a person is not a cold machine. If desire is suppressed for too long, he is very likely to become a real psychopath," Lin Sui added at the end.

Jiang Che felt that this was the last thing he needed to worry about.

Although spying on privacy is not something to brag about, she still collected Zhou Chen's browsing history and chat logs from various applications for various reasons.

Even she was greatly shocked.

If someone can act like a saint on the internet to this extent, even if their life is not going well in real life, they probably won't fall too low.

"So, I'm really not a psychopath?" At this moment, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with relief.

I knew it! As a model student, a pillar of society, and a progressive youth of the new era, how could I possibly be a psychopath?

As expected, it was the same group of people making a fuss over nothing.

"Okay, that's enough about mental health. Has Li Xiaoxiao contacted you?"

Jiang Che casually tossed the psychological test report into the drawer and asked about the important matter.

"After she went back yesterday, she sent me a bunch of thank-you messages, and I just replied with a few cool words. After all, in the eyes of the Eternal Flame, I'm just a cold-blooded killer..."

Zhou Chen took out his phone and scrolled through his chat history with Li Xiaoxiao.

"She sent me a 'good morning' message this morning. You know what that means, right?"

Jiang Che nodded: "And then?"

"She chatted with me for a long time during lunch and even posted pictures of what she ate... She's not fat at all, so why is she eating diet food?"

Zhou Chen scrolled down:

"In the afternoon, she recommended a new drama to me, then went shopping and got her nails done, and also posted pictures of my roommate's cat, along with a few photos of her."

An hour ago, they said there was an event at school that evening and wanted to invite me to attend, and also to have dinner with them, but I declined, saying I was too busy.

If Zhou Chen hadn't known that the other party was a follower of the Eternal Flame, he probably would have shouted with joy long ago. Being pursued by such a beautiful girl, he would probably fall for her in no time.

This was precisely the love trap that Li Xiaoxiao had woven for him.

Jiang Che tapped the table and pondered for a moment: "In two or three days, I'll ask her out and see what she wants to do."

Just then, a scarlet message popped up on the computer screen.

After seeing the details, she suddenly changed her mind: "No, you don't need to wait two or three days. If she asks you out tomorrow, just say yes."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Chen asked, puzzled, wondering why her attitude had changed so quickly.

Jiang Che beckoned him over:

"If all goes well, they will conduct a final test on you next, and the content is..."
