I, Lord of Prayer

Chapter 8 Getting on the good side

Forbidden Zones are special areas that formed for some reason after the destruction of the Old Era. 🐚♠ ❻9ˢнυx.ᑕ𝕠๓ ♥😂

Generally speaking, any area shrouded in a mysterious fog, regardless of size, can be called a restricted area.

To date, more than three thousand restricted areas of varying sizes have been discovered worldwide.

The size of restricted areas is not fixed; some restricted areas are only the size of a school, while others are so large that they are comparable to a country.

All the restricted areas were shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible for anyone to enter, and no living creature had ever emerged from the fog-covered restricted areas.

Only when the dense fog dissipates on its own can the restricted area be considered "unsealed" and people be allowed to enter and exit freely.

Those unknown dense fogs contain mysterious and terrifying power, which not only completely isolates the inside of the restricted area from the outside world, but also causes incredible changes inside the restricted area, and can even affect the flow of time.

According to intelligence reports, some restricted areas have become paradises for extraordinary creatures after being unsealed, while others have become bizarre and twisted places, fraught with danger.

Some restricted areas have even developed into places where social civilization has emerged after the lockdown was lifted.

Therefore, before the lockdown is fully lifted, no one knows what kind of mess the restricted area will become.

For example, the restricted area [No. 123] was once a vast plain, but when the fog dissipated, the interior of the restricted area turned into a primeval forest that blocked out the sky, and many ferocious supernatural creatures appeared.

[Forbidden Zone 277] was originally a hospital, and it remained a hospital even after the fog dissipated. However, everyone who ventured inside was afflicted with a deadly curse. Later, the Star Council dispatched an elite team to investigate, uncovering a dense horde of abyssal creatures within.

There is also the [Forbidden Zone 052], which was only unsealed three years ago. The surviving humans have developed a civilization within it that combines steam and the supernatural, similar to a kingdom from the Victorian era of the Old Age. It has a population of nearly ten million and is currently discussing establishing diplomatic relations with the Star Council.

The [Forbidden Zone No. 149] that Jiang Che just mentioned was a forbidden zone that was unsealed sixteen years ago. Inside it, a civilized nation similar to the medieval period of the Old Era was formed, and the entire country was ruled by the Papacy.

Within this forbidden zone grows a divine tree called the Star Tree.

The Star Tree bears only twelve fruits each year; these fruits are called Star Mangoes and can be used to heal spiritual wounds.

Healing wounds to the soul is already incredibly difficult, but now there's a fruit that can instantly repair the soul after consumption. Wouldn't it be fiercely sought after by all sides?

Indeed, this is the case. Over the years, countless people have tried to obtain the Star Mango by various means, but they have all met a terrible end.

Because the Vatican is not to be trifled with.

Even with pressure from various forces, the Holy See was able to withstand the pressure and guard the Star Tree tightly, only offering five Star Mangoes for trade each year.

And now, the people of West Wind have actually managed to steal a Star Mango...

The Vatican must be furious.

The key is……

"You're going to give me this star mango?" Zhou Chen asked, somewhat incredulous. ♖👤 ❻9𝔰нǗx.𝐂Ⓞм ♔😾

Even from just a few words, he could tell how precious the Star Mango was. Only twelve were harvested each year, and the Holy See only set aside five for trade. It was hard to imagine how many Ascended Ones would fight over it.

If used at the right time, it can even earn you connections with some super big shots.

Using it on a nobody like him would undoubtedly be a huge waste.

  

Jiang Che replied matter-of-factly, "As a superior, what's wrong with showing consideration for your subordinates? Or do you simply not want them?"

"Yes, yes, that's so true, sis..." Zhou Chen nodded hurriedly, "But... can this thing really be given to me? Will the Vatican agree? Will those big shots agree?"

Jiang Che calmly sipped his coffee: "You still didn't understand what I meant. I said that only I have a way to help you find a way to repair your soul in a short time. Why do you think that is?"

Zhou Chen pondered for a moment: "Because... you're the leader of the special operations team?"

"He is the leader of the 'Stars Society' special operations team." Jiang Che deliberately emphasized the words "Stars Society".

Zhou Chen understood.

No matter how powerful your Papacy is, can it be more powerful than a constellation of stars?

Besides, what kind of position is the head of the special operations team? This position is specifically for future high-level members of the Star Alliance to undergo further training and assessment!

Although it sounds like just a group leader, he actually has ridiculously large power, equivalent to the local top leader, and can sit on equal footing with the local president of the Stars Association.

Even the president sometimes has to give them some face.

No wonder Jiang Che said that only she could help him, and that no one could take away the Star Mango unless she gave it to him.

At times like these, Zhou Chen would think of the old saying: the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs.

They all look about the same age, so how come some people are doing so well while he can only be a nobody who isn't even a full-time employee?

Looks like I've hooked up with a big shot... However, Zhou Chen felt little joy, but rather fear and trepidation.

The better Jiang Che performs, the more dangerous his job as a subordinate will become.

However, the contract has already been signed, and there's no going back now. I can only leave it to fate and hope that my new boss will give me less work so I can have a few more peaceful days.

"When will we be able to find Xifeng's hideout in Jinzhu?"

This is the issue that Zhou Chen cares about most.

"The intelligence department has tracked down the rats and uncovered many local forces that were colluding with them... If all goes well, we will make our move tonight."

Tonight… Zhou Chen pondered for a while, then looked up at Jiang Che.

"I'm applying to participate in the operation."

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly somewhat surprised.

"What's the reason?"

"It concerns my life, so I want to do it myself." Zhou Chen paused. "Besides, since I'm going to work for you, we should at least get to know each other beforehand, right?"

Jiang Che gazed at him quietly, and after a moment of silence, nodded.

"Can."

……

After leaving Jiang Che's office, Zhou Chen returned to the dormitory assigned to him by the Stars Club.

With an air circulation system in operation, the room remained clean and tidy, without any dust, even if he hadn't returned for a week.

It has to be said that the treatment at the Stars Club is really good. Even the interns have luxurious single dorm rooms. He heard that when the engineering students from the university went there for internships, they had to share a dorm room with more than a dozen people, working day and night, it was as miserable as it gets...

After turning his phone to maximum volume, Zhou Chen fell asleep immediately.

The incompleteness of the soul has serious aftereffects, and even becoming an ascended being is of no use. Not sleeping eleven or twelve hours a day will lead to problems such as drowsiness, lack of energy, and difficulty concentrating.

He was about to carry out a mission and didn't want to mess things up at the crucial moment.
