Chapter 240: Irrelevant

It was four in the morning, and the Church of the Broken God would still have to fax over the precise coordinates in an hour. Zhang Jue was reclining in his chair, his eyes closed, and his mind at ease.

His phone abruptly rang. When Zhang Jue gave it a quick peek, she saw that it was an unknown caller. While pressing the respond button, he remained silent. Both parties remained silent, while the other person repeatedly knocked, which could have been a code phrase. Zhang Jue didn't talk before making sure the code phrase was accurate.

"It's me."

Zhang Jue's voice was recognized by the person on the other end of the line, who responded, "Advisor Zhang, this is Will Smith."

Zhang Jue assigned them the mission of visiting Europe and Russia to learn more about the situation there a few days prior, on the same night that Will Smith and his Black Pearl team had just returned. He called at this very moment, believing he must have discovered something.

The first thing Smith remarked after establishing Zhang Jue's identity was as anticipated. "Something unusual has been found here, Advisor Zhang."

There was a time difference between the two locations; while it was sunny on Smith's side, it was still early morning here in Zhang Jue. However, when anything had occurred, he experienced a severe shiver throughout his body.

"Speak up." said Zhang Jue.

Smith hummed and described what had happened.

"The worst affected area in Romania was a small town named Nadavir, which was reported to be the epicenter of the earthquake when we arrived three days ago."

"The earthquake should only have been a magnitude seven, but our analysis determined that it was at least a magnitude seven and a half, if not eight." Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Additionally, the quake was felt throughout the whole Balkan Peninsula, including a dozen nearby nations and areas, not just in Romania and Bulgaria, but others."

"For whatever reason, the Foundation, a number of the nearby impacted nations, and even the United Nations kept the public in the dark about the issue, giving the impression on the news that the crisis was not significant when in fact it was."

There is no terrorist experimental base in the Central Siberian steppe, but a monster has appeared, according to their investigation.

Zhang Jue had figured out this straightforward blindfold long before they left. The Foundation and the governments must have worked exceedingly hard to keep such things hidden, just like when SCP-3844 was discovered in the Alps, or else it would have sparked panic.

He questioned, "What kind of monster?"

"It appears to be a one-eyed gigantic beast, according to my team mates." Smith reported back.

"A beast with one eye?"

These are all from local villagers who have visited the mountain, and at the moment they have acquired a batch of equipment to be ready to enter the mountain overnight. However, since the area has been under martial law, they have no way to approach.

"Smith, inform your team members, your two teams' current objective is confined to exploration. Once you meet danger, immediately retreat; everything is done with your life safety as the top priority. When I finish this side, I will come to you." Zhang Jue remarked after scratching his chin.

Smith gestured to the person on the other end of the line to stand up and said, "Understood!"

Zhang Jue continued to think after hanging up the phone. earthquakes, missing people, vampires, and romance. Monsters with one eye, the Siberian plateau. He always had the impression that there was some relationship between the two, despite the fact that they were obviously unrelated.

He also had a sneaking suspicion that perhaps the Church of the Broken God was performing at the time and that it was associated with these ugly events. He took some time to link all the clues, but what exactly is it?

He required a cue. Lateness was setting in. When Zhang Jue raised his head, he noticed that the sky was already blazing with a fish's belly's white color. The time was 5:00 in the morning. Standing up, Zhang Jue flexed his muscles. Old Smith entered the room after hearing a knock on the door.

"Advisor Zhang, the location of the negotiations has been informed by the Church of the Broken God."

"Good." With his palms facing outward and his fingers crossed, Zhang Jue firmly braced his hands. "Let's put everything else aside for the moment and first get to know these members of the Church of the Broken God."
