Chapter 17 New Partner

It was a matter of life and death, so Shen Xiu couldn't help but be in a hurry.

The sooner you become a full-time employee, the sooner you can get rid of your serious problems.

If he could, he would even want to carry out the "regularization mission" right now.

Of course, the premise is that the task is not too risky.

However, Zhou Cheng didn't seem to feel Shen Xiu's anxiety, and still looked cold and tepid.

She didn't go to get the documents anymore, looked directly at Shen Xiu, and said:
"There's no hurry about the mission. Let's talk about your understanding of the Foreign Affairs Bureau first."

Recruitment of personnel by the Bureau of Foreign Affairs must follow certain rules.

Generally speaking, as Zhou Cheng said before, the people to be recruited need to have a clean background, have no worries, have been in contact with foreign evil spirits, and have a certain understanding of them.

The former is to prevent personnel from the old sect from mixing in and causing damage.

The second point is to devote yourself to the task better and more fully, without being disturbed by foreign objects.

At the same time, it is also to prevent people from the old sect from threatening their relatives and doing something they can't help themselves.

As for the third point, it is to prevent ordinary people from being involved.

This world is already turbulent, and if ordinary people are involved, unnecessary incidents may arise.

The above three points were discussed and revised by several generations of senior officials of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, and they have been used to this day.

Although Shen Xiu basically met these conditions, there were still some irregularities in the procedures for recruiting him to the Bureau of Strange Affairs this time.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of three new restricted areas in Lausanne in the past few days, and the huge manpower gap, Zhou Cheng wouldn't have asked Shen Xiu to join so easily.

However, joining is one thing, and the process that should be followed still has to go.

Shen Xiu thought for a while, and said:

"The full name of the Bureau of Abnormalities is the Investigation Bureau of Abnormal Things. The 'things' it targets are the evil alien species that appear at night and the old sects that believe in evil gods. However, for some reason, the main enemies are still the sect members who are active in the real world. In addition, the Bureau of Strange Affairs will also divide certain areas into "forbidden areas" based on abnormal events that have occurred in the real world. It is forbidden for ordinary people to enter.”

Shen Xiu talked eloquently for a while, but found that Zhou Cheng's expression hadn't changed. She couldn't help but wondered if she had said something wrong, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

Zhou Cheng across the desk suddenly looked up at him and said:

"Where did you learn these things?"

Shen Xiu hesitated, and spit out two words:
"Sophie."

Zhou Cheng nodded, indicating that he understood, and said:

"Go on."

Shen Xiu touched her nose and said awkwardly:
"Nothing."

Those things were basically told to him by Sophie, and they were all in his inventory, and it was impossible to squeeze out any more.

Regarding this, Zhou Cheng didn't say whether his answer was qualified or not, but instead talked about the haunted house that has been raging in Lausanne recently.

"You should already know about the house that appeared on Binhe Road recently, it has been destroyed."

"It has been listed as a third-level restricted area."

Shen Xiu took the words.

Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly:
"That's what Sophie told you too?"

"Yeah." Shen Xiu nodded.

If he guessed correctly, Sophie might be pretending to be an intern, but she is actually a member of the Bureau of Strange Affairs.

Otherwise, at least he knew the details of Zhou Cheng and had something to do with her.

Otherwise, after learning that Sophie told him so many things, Zhou Cheng would not be very annoyed.

Although Shen Xiu still doesn't know why the Foreign Affairs Bureau sent people to this company, it does not prevent him from making associations with it.

"Could it be that this company belongs to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs?"

Just as such a thought flashed through Shen Xiu's mind, the next second he found a sneer on Zhou Cheng's face, and he couldn't help but be astonished.

"Wrong guess? Could it be that this company actually belongs to the Old Sect, and Zhou Cheng is here as an undercover agent? But that's not right. If this is the territory of the Old Sect, how can Wang Quan come here so openly?"

Just when Shen Xiu was thinking wildly, Zhou Cheng said:

"The house on Binhe Road was indeed set as a third-level restricted area at first, but there were some problems later, and the bureau raised it to another level."

"Level four?" Shen Xiu asked in surprise.

The restricted area is divided into ten levels, and the fourth level is almost a medium-dangerous restricted area.

It stands to reason that a restricted area of ​​this level should be a place with a high degree of danger.

But why did he feel that the haunted house was not worthy of its name?
Zhou Cheng didn't pay attention to Shen Xiu's surprise and continued:
"After that, just today, someone discovered two 'scenes' that also appeared suddenly on the outskirts of the city."

"Two scenes?" Shen Xiu was even more surprised.

"How come there are two places? Shouldn't it be three?" Shen Xiu thought to himself.

In addition to "The Feud," he also watched "Dead Town," "After Sunset" and "Ivory Lake."

If it was the same as at the beginning, some scenes in the horror movies I watched would appear in the real world, then there should be three places, not two.

Regarding this point, Shen Xiu was extremely puzzled.

From Zhou Cheng's point of view, Shen Xiu was puzzled by the word "scene".

With a dignified expression, she explained for the first time:

"Yes, the scene. When the house first appeared on Binhe Road, the bureau didn't realize it. That house was more of a scene than a building. It was the lake that appeared on the outskirts of the city today. It was only after I realized that these restricted areas seemed to be independent from this world, but real scenes."

"A lake? It should be Ivory Lake. What is the other scene?"

Shen Xiu thought to herself, but didn't ask.

These things will be known sooner or later, and there is no rush at this time, it is better to wait for Zhou Cheng to finish talking first.

Zhou Cheng continued talking.

"According to the preliminary investigation, the bureau believes that these two new scenes are more dangerous than that house, and they are listed as seven-level and eight-level restricted areas respectively, and most of the personnel have been sent to investigate."

Having said this, Zhou Cheng suddenly stopped, lowered his eyelids, wondering what he was thinking.

After a few breaths, under Shen Xiu's slightly confused gaze, she continued to speak:
"Originally, I was supposed to be sent to investigate, but since my partner died in the last mission and there was no replacement, the bureau did not send me a mission, but now I can go on a mission."

Shen Xiu subconsciously nodded, just about to say something when she suddenly realized something.

What Zhou Cheng seems to be saying is that he has never been assigned a mission because he has no partner. Now that he can go on a mission, doesn't it mean that he has a new partner?
Thinking about his identity as a new peripheral member again, the answer is ready to come out.

"Wait, don't tell me, I'm your new partner?"

Shen Xiu's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

Zhou Cheng glanced at him coldly and said:

"If you don't want to, you don't have to agree."

"That's good."

Shen Xiu let out a long breath.

Zhou Chengren was indeed beautiful, with an outstanding temperament and a graceful figure, but for some reason, when he learned that he was Zhou Cheng's partner, his first reaction was to refuse.

Fortunately, Zhou Cheng said this, which made him feel at ease.

But Zhou Cheng's words in the next second sent him from heaven to hell.

"But you have to figure out what's in your head."

People are knives, I am fish.

If you want something from someone, you will have to give something.

It's a matter of life, Shen Xiu immediately laughed and said:
"I'm kidding, I promise."

Zhou Cheng glanced at him, said nothing, stood up and walked to the corner, picked up the box that seemed to be provided by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and walked out the door.

Shen Xiu quickly stood up and asked:

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Cheng who pushed open the door paused, left three words and continued walking outside.

"Out mission."
